moments, Mrs. Shrimp? I am not yet dressed.”. “I’m sorry, sir. Don't wish to interfere with your arrangements for dressing. But there’s a man down stairs, and there ain’t no getting clea'r of him. Says he s in a hurry, and wants to see you eir. I couldn’t get him to state his business. “I commend his good sense in that particular, muttered Beverly, sotto voce. Just send him up, Mrs. Shrimp, and mildly inform him that this is not a fashionable calling hour. I’d be forever grateful if that woman would get a decent pair of shoes,” he continued, as the Bound of Mrs. Shrimp’s slipshod feet '

echoed down the hall. After a few moments they returned, accompanied bv a firm, heavy tread. Beverly had gotten into his coat, and smoothed his hair in > something like JK order, and, thus arrayed, he opened the ISb door to his unexpected guest. If his intellect shines as brilliantly as his trousers, he thought, with a glance at his portly visitor, "he is certainly an accomplished old gentleman.

But no part of ' the object in employing convict labor ' in road-building is to hold out a “hor--1 rible example” to the public; it is to 1 overcome the chief objection to road 1 i improvement—the costliness of labor.

The time and labor of felons are forfeit to the State. To lease their labor or employ it in manufacturing articles which come in direct competition with honest toilers and thus reduce their remuneration is, to say the least, not placing a premium on honesty. We are inclined to the opinion that the employment of felons in permanent road-building under direction of the State is the solution, in part at least, of two difficult problems—that of the disposition of convict labor and the improvement of our highways.— Chicago Breeder’s Gazette.

With such men there is a feeing of comradeship, and they get into the habit of taking care of each others welfare. Very few of these publicspirited, big-hearted men ever fail utterly in life. They generally fall on

their feet, and they find plei ty of friends ready to stand by them. There are very few persons now living whose fathers served in the revolutionary war, and two of these live in Indiana. They are Mr. Nelson Prentiss of Albion, and his sister, Mrs. Eliza Johnson, of Ligonier, Noble county. Their father was Nathaniel ' Prentiss, of Connecticut. He enlisted

as a drummer boy at the age of twelve years, but afterwards became a soldier. He used to tell to these children, now living, how General Washington looked and also described the execution of Major Andre, which he ■witnessed. ’ Goshen Democrat.

THE SUNDAY SCHOOL THOUGHTS WORTHY OF CALM REFLECTION. A Pleasant, Interesting, and Instructive Lesson and Where It May Be found—A Learned and Concise Review of the Same. The King: in Zion. The lesson for Sunday, April 10, may be found in Psalms 2: 1-12. INTRODUCTORY. A good psalm for the missionary standing for God among the foreign peoples and before proud kings. Dr. Pentecost, who writes his notes on the International Lessons this year from the midst of his evangelistic campaign in India, says: “This psalm is giving me at least great boldness in preaching the gospel of Jesus Christ among the heathen at this time.” We can believe it. And for us who labor in what are called Christian lands there is stimulus and cheer of a needed sort here. It is the Christ psalm, and it assures us in his name tfiat all enemies will be put down. Yes, the very enmity which we meet is a sign of the King’s approach. He is coming just because he must come. WHAT THE LESSON SAYS. Why? Hebrew’: For what? i. e., To what end? What is the use? Rage. The word means to hasten tumultuously, as one sees in a disturbed ant-hill. It is rendered came tumultuously in the margin of Dan. 6: 6. Imagine. The same word, it Is suggestive to note, translated mediate in Ps. 1: 2. It signifies literally to say over and over. Hence to grumble, to plot. Douay: Devised. A vain thing. One word in the original, emptiness, vanity. Contrast with the law, which the righteous of Ps. 1: 2, “meditat .” The kings of the earth set themselves, or, take a stand. Used of Goliath against Israel, 1 Sam. 17: 16, but rendered there, presented himself, i. e., in defiance. Douay: Stood up. Take counsel together. Literally, sit down together, hence, to consult. The language all Yhe way along here is strikingly picturesque. I Anointed, first meaning to touch or stroke over, i. e., w ith oil. Messiah is directly from the Hebrew here. Bands. Referring to God’s corrective judgments. Also applied to learning, instruction. Cords. From the root to knit, i. e., cast off connections. N. 8., the interrogation begun oae verse may be supposed to end herw, e.. Why do the heathen rage, why do the kings set themselves, why do the rtilers take counsel and say? He that sitteth in the heavens. Or, sitting in the heavens he shall laugh, his very vantage-ground provoking laughter.- Laugh. Just as it reads. A mimetic term, the meaning suggested in the sound (shahak). Have in derision. One word in the Hebrew: To mock or ridicule. The seer's way of representing the utter absurdity of rebellion against God. Speak; i. e., with words (Hebrew). Probably to be understood of the ! prophetic voices in warning.—-—Vex. Hebrew: To make hot, to try. Cf. “I have chosen (tried) thee in the furnace of affliction.” Isa. 48: 10. This, in its turn, to be referred probably to God’s punitive and corrective providences. Yet. Not in the Hebrew; simply and. Set, or anointed. From the verb to «v
