Following is the cnepistle, for a copy of which we are ^iudel 'ed to Mr. A. J. Hossler, of Greene f- to^nXip: ’^Alefter which God himself has writauJ lowered it at Madgeburg. It written with golden letters and ^ent by god through an angel. Whowishes to copy it shall not be . •.^Wfnsed, and who will dishonor it from & bim the Lord will depart: <7 “Cursed is he who worketh on the Sab- ? bath. Therefore, I command that ye shalF^ot toil on Sunday, but in devotion to church; but you shall not paint ^’our faces, or wear the hair from others nor be proud; from your riches you shall give to the needy liberally, and believe that this letter I have written with my own hand is sent forth by Christ himself, and that you shall not act like beasts who have no reason. You have six clu.ys in the Week iu which to do your Work, but the seventh ^namely Sunday) thou Keep holy; if you disobey, I will send War, Starvation, Pestilence and Hunger among you, and punish ye with many plagues. I further command ye, one and all, young and old, large and small, that ye not work late on Saturday evenings, but repent your Sins, so that they may be, forgiven. Demand and strive not for silver and gold. Be not disposed for evil; beware of the temptation of the Flesh. Be member that I have created you aud can destroy you also. Do not rejoice if your Neighbor is poor, but have pity on him, and all shall be well with you. Children, honor your Father and Mother, and yo shall fare well on earth Who doesnot believe this and keep it, shall be cursed and lost.

Who has this letter and does not make it public, shall be cursed from the Christian Church and from my Grace, if yon feel aggrieved, they shall be forgiven. Who does not believe it shall die and be punished in hell, and on the Judgment Day I shall question your transgressions, and you must answer me. Those who carry this Letter with them, or keep it in their houses, no Lightening will do damage, nor will he ever suffer by Fire or Water. Whoever will bring it before children of men, will be awarded, and will in happiness depart from earth. Keep the commandments which I have sent through the Messenger from Heaven. T, the only true God, from the heavenly Throne, God's and Mary’s Bon. Amen.’ This occured at Magdeburg in the year 1783.—Ex. Youthful but Smitten. One of the most delicious love letters that the Listener of the San Francisco Examiner says he has ever read was intercepted the other day by a teacher in one of the public schools. The boy who wrote it was ten years old, and the girl presumably of the same age. Here is the charming missive: “Dear Emma:—l love you and I wish you would write to me. I love you and I wish I could kiss you. Emma, you look so rosy. I love yon, don’t you love me? I wish you would write, to me. I guess you love me. I don’t care if you don’t. I will write to you anyway. I want you to write to me, and if you have no lead pencil I will give you one and some paper. “l am so glad that you love me. Emma, did you tell that boy that lives beside your house that you was going to slap my nose? Emma, I could not help but cry when that boy told me. Emma, I thought you thought more of me. I have given you about 25 cents’ worth of candy, and you don't treat me well; besides I gave you some gum.” There is no doubt about the condition of that boy. He is in love. He may be only ten years old, but if he lives to be one hundred he will never be any more in love then he was when he penciled that letter. Lifting the Hat. The custom of lifting the hat had its origin when knights never appeared in public except in full armor, but upon entering an assembly of friends the knight removed bis helmet, the act signifying,“l am safe in the presence of my friends.” The great chemical trust in England has been registered as the United Alkali Company, with a capital of $30,000.000 in SSO shares.

M nu A Conundrum oFthe Workshops. > When the flash of a new born sun fell first on Eden’s green and gold. Our Father Adam sat under the Tree and scratched with a stick in the mold; And the first rude sketch that the world had seen was joy to his mighty heart. Till the Devil whispered behind the leaves, “It’s pretty, but Is it art?” Wherefore he Called to his wife, and fled to fashion his work anew— The first of liis race who cared a fig for the first, most dread review; And he left his lore to the use of his sons—and thnt was a glorious gain When the Devil chuckled “Is it art?” in the ear of the branded Cain. ■They builded a tower to shiver the sky and wrench the stars apart. Till tiie Devil grunted behind the bricks: “It’s striking, but is k ;rrt?” The stone was dr.jppe I by the quarry side and the idle derrick swung, While eacli man talked of the aims of art, and each In an alien tongue. They fought and they talked in the North and the South, they talked aud they fought in the West, Till the waters rose on the jabbering land,and the poor Itcd Clay had rest — Had rest till die dunk blank canvas dawn when the dove was preened to start, And the Devil bubbled below the keel: "It’s human, but is it art?” The tale is as old as the Eden Tree—as new as the new cut tooth— For each man knows ere his lip thatch grows he is master of art and truth; And each man hears as the twilight nears, to the beat of his dying heart. The Devil drum on the darkened pane: “Yuu did it, but was it art?” We bave learned to whittle the Eden Tree to the shape of a surplice peg. We have learned to bottle our parents twain iu thoyolkofuu addled e know that the tail must wa»r the dogr, as the horse is drawn by the cart; But the Devil whoops, as he whooped of old: “It’s clever, but is it art?” When the flicker of London sun falls faint on the club room’s green and gold, The sons of Adam sit them down and scratch with their pens in the mold— They scratch with t heir pens in the mold of their graves, and the ink and the anguish start When the Devil mutters behind the leaves: "It’s pretty, but is it art?” Now, if we could win to the Eden Tree where tiie four gn.at rivers flow, Aud the wreath of Eve is red on the turf us she left it long ago. And if we could come when the seutry slept and softly scurry through. By the favor of G >u we might know as much —as our father Adam knew. —Rudyard Ki) ling in the Scot’s Observer. JUST LIKE MOLLY. The Prince and the Happy Peasant In the Black Forest. A German prince was on his bridal tour says Texas Siftings. He was, of course, accompanied by the princess, his bride. The happy couple traveled incognito leisurely through the beautiful Black Forest, stopping a day or so at the little villages, where they strolled about iu each other’s company, unobserved and unknown, enjoying the beautiful scenery, etc. While sitting under the shade of a tree near the roadside one day the prince, placing his arm around the waist of the princess, just as ordinary mortals might have done under the circumstances, exclaimed iu au ecstatic Toice, looking upward: “I wonder, dearest Louisa, if it is Eossible for any other living beings to e as happy as we are?” The wife sighed a happy sigh, and then indulged in speculative theories as to the possibility of a couple biting as happy in an humble cottage on a small salary as in a gorgeous palace and living oh ajyrincely revenue. Just at this crisis a sturdy peasant came up the road, singing a merry roundelay. “Suppose we ask this rustic if he is really happy?” suggested the princess. “Come hither my good friend, I wish to ask you something,” said the prince, adjusting his eye-glass. “Propel,” replied the happy peasant. “Are you really as joyous as you seem to be?” “What are you giving me?” “I merely wanted to know if you are really in as beatic a frame of mind as you appear?” “Yes, I guess I am as happy as most people get to be. I get enough to eat ami driuk, and I’ve got an appetite as big as that of a letter-carrier. Wife and children are in good health. I haver’ got anything in particular to grumbh about.” “Thea 1 am to understand that you have no cause for annoyance?” The happy peasant scratched his head and replied: “Now that I come to think of it, there is a little improvement I might suggest. “You see, I work pretty hard during the week, and Sunday 1 don’t object to going to the tavern and moistening my clay with a glass of beer. Old friends come in, and then I worry down a second glass, and after a while a third, aud by the lime I go home I’ve generally managed to surround eight or ten glasses, and then my wife Molly goes for me. Maybe she doesn’t make it tropical in that immediate vicinity. Now, if it were possible to have her temper toned down a little I don’t think that I should object very much.” “Shame ou you!” exclaimed the princess indignantly. “According to your own statement yon are little better than a drunkard. You guzzle beer, thus squandering the money you should spend on your wife and children, who with your bad example l>efore their eyes will surely turn out badly; and wheh your poor wife very properly rebukes you, instead of heeding her counsel, you jeer at her. Oh, you wretch!” The happy peasant stood with open mouth, almost dumfounded at the torrent •of abuse from the princess. Winking slyly at the prince the happy peasant punched him with his elbow aud said, “Just such another spit-tire as Molly,” and walked off laughing. Papa in the Rebellion. An old army officer, according to Mrs. Custer, had a four-year-old boy who never tired of war stories. “The story is a little rough on me,” said the officer to Mrs. Custer, “but if you kuow a child, you knttw that he wants a plentiful sprinkling of I’s, and nothing told iu the third person. So I kept on as he demanded, till one day he looked up into my face and said: ‘•Father, couldn’t you get any one to help you put down the rebellion?” UNCLE SAM’S CONDIT!

Too Willing to Suit. A needy Frenchman once heard that a marriage was on the tapis the daughter of a certain w£altt^y--mAiU chant and the son of a rich banker. The dowry that was to be given to the bride was 500,000 frnucs. The mer-( chant was well known to be on the lookout for a good bargain or to save a dollar, so on this the Parisian founded his hopes on a good dinner at least. He accordingly called at the merchant's residence aud asked the privilege of seeing him on very important business. After a little while he was admitted to his presence. “The matter, sir, on which I called,” he began, “involves for you the practical saving of 250,000 francs. I—“Oh, my dear sir,” interrupted the merchant, “this is too serious to be discussed before dinner, and, as it is now my hour for dining, prav take dinner with me, and we will* afterward consider your proposition at our leisure.” Having partaken of a meal that left a pleasant flavor in the unfortunate's memory the rest of his life they returned to the merchant’s study. “And now I am ready to hear your proposal.” he remarked. The Parisian, after a moment’s thought, began: “I understand, sir, your daughter is to be shortly married to the son oft,- I '-^ 1 banker. D'Argent?’’ Y , “Yes, that is true.” I I “And that her dowry is half a milllion?” " This was also assented to. ; “Well, then, here is my idea; I am ready'to tike her for half that sum, and thus you will save or gaiu exactly 250,000 francs.” Decrease 1 Value.
