"Black I I should lay so," said the grocery
man. "And his nose memed to be trying to

eterwalhTh'ishment-
The following ii contributed by a Perm JTan
gentle-nan, and probably many will agres wilh
the views expressed :
That the doctrine of eternal punishment is a
delusion snd a superstition, must, be evident
to every well-informed and comprehensive
mind, became there ii no rational or jtistiliabio
object lu It, for no good can come of it er grow
out of It; beahlei, it ii monstrous, Inhuman
ami bears tho impress of turbai ism. In all
good and wiso governments among men, pun
ishment can have but two rational objects,
namely: To reclaim the offender and to deter
othe's from the commission o,' crime; but
when it is Indicted for any other purpose ,it Is in
human and cruel. That eternal punishaient can
never reclaim the offender must be admitted by
nil, for once a subject of such puu'shnTt nt, his
stains is forever fixed, and his fate eternally
unchangeable, Thut It restraint mankind to
any considerable or practical extent from tho
coinmissiou of crime, is at leant, very doubt
fill indeed, and that for several reasons. It Is
too distant, uncertain and Improbable to have
such Influence on the minds of those to da
evil. Speedy, c rluni snd condign punishment
is what Ibo offender most fv.ns'ti'id dreads.
Y'.ike this away, he will not hesitate to com
mit the most heinous cr'mci if he be 'morally
corrupt enough, notwithstanding a tutiglitand
dreamy belief In eternal punishment. The
greatest criminals In the hind are almost with
out exception, believers In eternal punishment;
yet this belief does not deter them them from
perpett j -ii' the most d.igrant ciimei known
loour l.ois. The Ignorant and the supersti
tions ai c iiIw.its the most vicious and cruel.
7'hey cannot be frightened into Ike practice
ef vtrlii" and humanity by Ihe cry of eternal
vngennro. Nat until the woild of mankind
be-a -iii's eivllljed and educated up to the eter
nal truth that virtue li happiness and vice is
in isfi y, will crime cease among men and uui
t i sal good will p-ev.iil among the inhabitants
of earth. Our rouiiiioii humanity shudders nt
the idea of unrndiiig totuieiit ami cannot hsr
nioiii.e and rrcinrilo Inliuite lofe with eternal
ur.sf ry. Punishment altou'd be of a reforma
tory clnc-aoler and not a means for the exer
cise of vengeance. No civilized and enlight-
ned human being can ba so cruel and misan
thropic us In really desire even uu unrelenting
enemy consigned to everlasting pain und inis
erv. Is, then, Hit t.'icator less li 11111:111 and
inure cruel than impel feet aaan ? T he doctrine
of ctrrii.il punishment is absurd and most un
reasonable, Il has no p arallel in nature and is
c.iutr.iry Ij tl.c attributes of the Delly. It II
the most, iieruirimia thing that has ever been
promulgated In the world, because it lias cu-
slaved tin inimls of men and reudurtd them
the erinting vasisls of tha most merciless
clerical Ijiauti. Hcllglnus enslavement of the
mind is II worst possible form of slavery and
should bubunl-hcd from the world foraver.
Hod is 00; the foe of His creatures nn never
created Hem for so terrible a fate as eternal
damn itoi, a destiny which Is contrary to
every lapulsu of humanity and good will
to inanl (lod is lore and not "a cannoning
lire." tie vicious must stiller here for their
wlckod lands, and not eternally hereafter, for
it roiildfnot make thiiigs better nor accomplish
any godd whatever.

youngTtnii were called inln the pii'lor. Each
young man wai asked to choose y otmg wo.

eysi were the u lif.hlly handngul and he win
kissed twice. After Hiie seemingly pleasant
performance he w is Ivd to ore end of Hie room
and tho bandag" r.iiiwved. i.10 youtg man
was well pleased with the new game, but it
didn't end th-re. Whe i ihe second Jyoung
matt was brought in and s ated blindfehl in a
chair before tho young a until of his choice,
the first young mail noticed with a peculiar
feeling ot h or for lhat the black cook was
brought la to do the kissing, ity the time
that all Ihe young men had been treated the
lame way they were ready lo walk home.
This new game has cast a glo nn over the
young people of West Chester. Ii will never
be played there again. The young women
will net get tho chance. Philadelphia Tmwf.
LOVE OF THE BEAUTIFUL-

their home is in the wide, free country, where
there Is pure, fresh uir to breathe, and where
there are inenntalns to climb, nr valleys to ex
plore, or life-giving work out doors to be
dono, let them learn, with the ev ry day b s
sons of the iisrful, some biassed lessens of Ihe
beautiful. Teach them to recoguizi our
Father's hand In Ihe purple mists of in 1111, and

YOUNG WIVES FOR OLD HUSO V.r.S-
The Kinston correspondent of the
Newborn Journal says, voting wives
for oliiahusbauils iloiiblle-s- lirst sug
gested ilseil to our Creator a long
time after Adam had been placed in
the garden of Kd. 01; but at what par
ticular epoch in his life at lirsl "seemed
good for man nul to be alone," does
not appear, yet it. is evident Adam
wns just in his prime, il not an old
man, when Kve was given to him as a
helpmate. This view of it was taken
by l'resident Taylor wheu he inlonnud
his friend, Henry A. Wise, that he
was going to get married to Miss
(Jarduer. "Why,"' saitl Wise, she is
too young for you." ''Not at all," ro
pliftd the l'resident, "I'm still in my
prime." ' "That reminds me," said
Wise, "of an ild darkey down in Vir
ginia, who was generally consulted by
his old master on any affair of impor
tance to both. The eld master was a
widower, and w hen he gut the consent
of a young lady to man y him, he
communicated the I'aet to the old dar
key. ''.My Lord," said Sambo, "she is
too young for you." "Not a bit of it,"
answered the master, ' I'm still in toy
prime." "Yes," responded Sambo,
"you are 111 your prime now, but wait
till sho gets in her prime, then where
will your prime be ?"
