MOOSE DEFINES WHAT IS MEANT BY AN UNPARDONABLE SIN. The Tergiversations of Prof. Swinegoob-r, With VPart'eular Reference to Yank Lumphins’ Shoats---Likewise Something About a Sorghum Mill anda Rean Mare, The farmers of Marshall county, Ky., take a wrest deal of interest in religion. They get together at public worbwing: and <«i-cass in every imaginable fora What ther consider the knotty portions oj the Bible. With the execepiion of the newspa ers, their reading is confined ex- elesively to the Bible The yrimitive Baptists, or %ard- sbells,’’ as they are called, jrevail in great numbers As | general rule, tiese people agree upon the inain principes of the Church, but there are a great many minor points in regard 10 various pas- suzes Of the Bible that they utterly fail to agree upon. It is this existing state of afairs Nhat brings about many discus- s.ons, which are carried on in the school houses, churches and other public places. liany one gets mad during the discus- sion of a g.ven point it is considered as evi-lence that he is besten; but,as a gener- al rule, the be t of fecling prevails. Thad the nleasars of heariag a discus- sion of this character not long since, at a tlace ealied Pew Flat school siouse. ‘there was quite a crowd present, and when Larrived, the first speaker, whose naue was Moses Lucas, had the floor. tie picked up-a Bible about the size ofa trunk, and laid tt upon a barrel in front of him; then he stuck both of bis thumbs in the armholes of his vest, and said: “Mr. Chairman—I am eslled upon to tive my views in regards to this un- yardenable sin what the Bible speaks shout, and in order that you all may understand what it says, I'll read it be- ore going any further.’’ He then open- 2i the Bible and read the following pas- sige: ‘*All manner of sin shall be for- given the sons of tan, except the sin ageinet the Holv Ghost, and that hath never forgiveness in this world nor in the vorid to come, ’’ “‘*Now, then, my friends,’’ continued he speaker, ‘‘this language was used by Christ, and they say is teaches that a fel- ow cum commit an unpardonable sin Just wht shape this sin has got to be fot up in, or just what sort of a row it would s‘ir up in « neighborhood when ommitted, I] am unable to say; of ourse, « fellow can do a great many shings that don’t look very had ina reneral way, but when you come to ex- smine them from a scientific standpoint t will appear upon the face of the in- vestigation that they contain some large, viack chunks of dismal sin that is, so far 43 lam concerned, now and forever un- vardonable, Now, let the Holy Ghost © Whas if may, but while along the tine of the sin against the Holy Ghost, I un reminded of tha time Yank Lump- kine, Biff Shanks and myself were rus ees of the Pew Flat School District. We were at Nip Van Winker’s one day, nelping him stack his wheat, when a tellow with a satchel in his hand came up and wanted us to hira him to teach the fall sciool. We bad the rise of $40 in free school money, and for this sum Prof. Swinezoober, for that was his name, szreed to teach our youngsters for the peciiie! tern of three months. The fel- ww bad on good duds, could talk in twa wo outhroe «differens directions, and was rart &@ heap in tigured; so We made up ae tuinds to have him set in the Lst of \urust and teach the school. “Wi oil, everything went on tolerably snoote; ia fact, Swinegoober taught a 200d school, and the little chaps learned iighiy pears. One day Yank came over ‘omy house, and says he: ‘* * jose, has you seen anything of my ‘wo bine < shoats a-running round your lace lately?’ ** "No," suy I,* Yank, I bain’t seen ’em.’ “Thon Yank said something about as how he didn’s see what had become of chem, and went off home. That night eing Sunday night, I] went over to chat vith Yank fora few hours, and, while ve Were out at the iot doing up the night vork, there came uptothe fence two sandy-haired shoats and grunted around ‘sthouzh they were used to being fed here every day. Toney had a crop off the rizht oar ania swallow fork and under- bit on the left, which was a hog mark that had been in Lumkins’ family so long that everybody knew it. Of course, Yank Knew that the mark corresponded “ith his hog mark, but they had sandy uair, while his hogs wore black hair al- together. Just about this time we heard some one caliing hogs away over in Pole Cat Holler, about a mile away. The shoats stuck their eara straight up and made a bee line in the direction of the calling, and Yank and I followed close behind them, for we were anxious to know who they belonged te. ‘The shoats would run awhile and then they would stop and listen; then they would start off as though they were going to the call of so: e one who had been feeding them. ‘*All at once they plunged vver the hill, than down into the hollow where they went siraight into a rail pen that had been built for the occasion, The gap was closed after them, and Prof. Swine- goober, our school teacher, threw over sume corn, and, looking over the fence said; ‘Now, my bright little swine pets, you are in prison again and you will have to get an extra hump on you if you get out the second time.’ Then he pick- ed up a bucket of what proved next day in Squire Nimrod’s court to be some sort of dye or paint; from this he had taken a brush and proceeded to give what prov- -ed to be Yank’s shoats a fresh ovat of paint. ‘*By this time Yank seen through the whole game, lL know, for he stooped down and picked up a rock about the size of a Washtub, and had it not been for my timnecly interference, he would have swip- éd Prof. Swinezoober’s light out there and thon, but he Qnally concluded to let Squire Nimrod deal with him according to the law of Kentucky. The trial, which came off the next day in Yank’s barn, / showed that it was Prof. Swinegoober’s intention to dye the snoat’s hair, so that he could carry them off without sus- picioa, sell them, and, in all probability, SOMETHING G000. ANNUAL MEETING. The Annual General Meeting of the P, &. I-land wlll be held at its Banking Honse, Grest George Siveet, on TUES- DAY, the 14th day of January next, 1896 at the hour of 11 o’clock, w. m, at least one day previous to the meeting. J. M. DAVISON, Car hier. Merchants’ Bank of P. E. Island, Proxies must be left with the Cashier spend the money in riotous living. Tiis, I say, was all proved beyond the merest existing shadow of a doubt, and he was accordingly offered a lucrative yporition in the State Pea,which he, after sonic useless hesitation, decided to accept. “The morning Prof. Swinegoober left for his new abode 1 was the only man that would shake hands with him, and Did hiin god+pecd; and after he got there I was the only man that would write to him and tell him how sorry I was for him, and when he got sick I was the ently man that would goto see him.

When he said something one day afterwards about another start in the world, I gave him enough scads to buy a sorghum mill. Six months passed and Prof. Swinegoober made molasses, and said nothing that would lead me to think that he was going to pey me back; but on the contrary, he came to me one day, aiml says: ‘L say, Meuse, you're my friend ye , ain’t you?’ *Yeh,’ sazs L ** *Well,’ says he, ‘I want you to do me another favor; you won't mind doing it, will you?’ ‘*Nope,’ says I ‘Mr. Swinegoober, I will do whatIcan to help you turna new leuf.’ ***Ali right.’ says he. ‘Now, what I want you to doistolend me enough money to got married on, for I feel like the influe:ce of a good wife would help me to forget the past, ond improve the future.’ “Yes, I lent himall £ kad, $59, and that nighr, while I was dreanfing about what a good, kind-heart@d Curfstian cuss Iwas, he stole my old roan :nare and skipped the country. Frorr that day until this 1 have never seen hair nor hide of Swinegoober; still folks ask me if I ever scen anything that looked like an unpardonable siu.’’ The speaker then took his seat. —Giobe Democrat BY EXPRESSC.O.D. One Way to Secure ack Salary From an Assigned Employer A ran who is compelled to pay his just &-bts even through trickery, has no recourse at law in many cases. ‘This is wmuply demonstrated by the following lit- tle story which is not two days old. A young New Yorker was clerking for a cigar dealer doing business within a few blocks of the post-oflice. The dealer assigned and beat his employe out of $7. This happened about three months ago. The employe went back to New York and devisod a plan to get paid. He secured a large-sized cigar box, filled it with shavings, on top of which he laid his receipted bill for $7, plus #1 for his trouble, hen he made a nice package which he sent C. O. D. to his old em- ployer who had resumed business. The latter thinking that the box was fliled with an extra fine brand of cigars paid the $ and now he swears that itis the worst trick ever played on him. He will not swear out a warrant, how- ever, against the clerk, who had given a fictitious name to the express company to avoid suspicion. Ke Had Scruples Against Actors, gm An English operatic company whose members returned to London after a tour in Scotland had a curious experience in one of the inland towns where a per- formance was given. It was one of those places where, among certain classes, the animus against theaters is almost as great as the consumption of whisky. As it was the last halt in the tour the members of the troupe agreed to have themselves photographed, and accordingly went tothe local photographer and explained their in- tention. ‘‘ Verra weel,’’ replied the Scotch- man, ‘‘I shall be verra glad to take yer portrets, for ye seem a douce and respoct- able set o’ leddies and gentlemen.’’ *‘And as we are artists,’’ suggested the principal tenor, ‘‘and there are a lot of us, perhaps you would see nd objection to making some reduction from your usual prices?’’ “Ertists, are ye?’’ said the photographer; “*I dinna ken what that may be, but what dae ye dae, may I speer?’’ ““O,”"' answerd the tenor, who fortunate- ly understood the Scotch language, ‘we are singers.”’ ‘‘In the kirk?”’ queried the camera manipulator. ‘‘O, no,’’ replied the other, ‘‘ we are the opera company who are performing at the theater’’ The Scotchman took a step backward, raised his arms into the air, and cried, ‘‘Awa wi’ ye, awa wi’ ye; yeare the deevil’s bairns, ye are; and 1 wadna photograph ye for naething—i mean for onything ye wad offer me; no, not for a’ the money ye tak in a wiex for playin’ Satan’s antics onthe brods Ertists ye ca’ yersels! Ye are the children of the deevil,ye are!’’ And he ordered them out, and shut his door against them. This is the reason why no authentic photograph of that opera troupe will be handed down to posterity, for next day the tour ended, and the members dig- persed to their homes. A New Trolley Mail-Car, Many cities have already used the eloo- tric car for carrying mail to the Pust Office, but Boston is making a new departure in the shape of a maii-car designed for the receiving of mail direct from the hands of the collectors. The car will run on sched- uled time to certain points along the line, and it will thus be easy for the collectors to meet it at these points and turn their mail into it instead of ‘nto the several sub stations. The mail will be cancelled and assorted on the car, and left for im- mediate dispatch at the central office or some railway station. The car has straight sides, like a regular railway post-office, which gives plenty of floor space and room for hanging pouches. It will haye a full compleme.t of tables, cases and racks, but its most important feature will be a canceling machine, The current which drives and lights the car will feed the elec- tric motor to run the canceling machine, which wil! have a capacity of 40,000 can- cellations per hour, By this plan it is ex- pected that letters will be delivered on an average an howr sooner than if they were taken to the sub-stations and handled in the old way. The Healthiness of Yawning, A celebrated Belgian physician says that yawning is an exceedingly healthy fune- tion generally, besides having a very salu- tary effect in complaints of the pharynx and eustachian tubes. According to the results of Jate investigations, yawning is the most natural form of respiratory muscles of the chest and neck. It is rec- ommended that every person should have a good yawn, with stretchin.; of the limbs, morning and evening, for tue purpose of ventilating the lungs and tonifying the muscles of respiration. An eminent authority claims that this form of gym- nastics has a remarkable effect in reliey- {ng throat and ear troubles, and says that yatients sufiering from disorders of the throat have derived great benefit from it. He makes his patients yawn either by sug- gestion, imitation, or by a series of fall breaths with the lips partly closed. The yawning is repeated six ur eight times, and should be followed by swallowing, By this means the air and mucus in the eustachian tubes are respirated, GREAT BATTLES ave convn- ually going on tn the humen sve- tem.

Aa for Mr. Crich- ton, there was much less to be said in his —_ w “ . . . favor. “The Woman of Asbestos” is a Neapolitan story by Mrs. Pullen, bett-r known as Kiizabeth Cavazza, who knows svuthern ITraly ae if it were her native land. Dorothy BE. Nelson strikes he true note of Chrisinas in “Qur lady of the Angels.” “The Way cf a Willi” was a curious way, indeed; it is Lere s:aced by William T.

Weak, Nervous Women. One to whom a night's rest was. unknown. Strength and good health restored. Iwas subject to frequent attacks of nervousness that seemed to sap all my Vitality and left me in a state of weak- ness and misery. I could not relish food | and such a thing as a good night's rest | was unkgown, Incapable of any exer- | tion and with an ever present tired and copeanes feeling. Medicines that I | took did not do any good; it was a case ! of gradually becoming weaker and weak- | er. Hearing of Scott’s Sarsaparilla and | its success with similar cases to mine, I | used it, and from the first few doses began to get better, appetite returned, got natural and refreshing sleep. I grew stronger, in fact life seemed to be fanned into activity.—Lottie Graham, 174 Craw- ford Street, Toronto.
