I have wondered what Christ wrote on
tbe ground. For do you realize that its
ihe only time that he ever 'wrote at all?
I know that Bumbles says that Christ
once wrote a letter to A.bgarus, the king
of Edessa, but there is uo good evidence
; of snob a correspondence. The wisest

Ibe ever wrote he wrote in dust, uncertain

"Wash me, and 1 shall be whiter than
snow." In a picture gallery of Europe
there is on the ceiling an exquisite fresco,
but the people having to look straight
up, it wearied and dizzied them and bent
their necks almost beyond oedurence, so
a great looking glass/ was put near the
floor. and now visitors only need to look
easily down into this mirror, and they
see the fresco at their teet. And so, much
of the high heaven of God's truth is
reflected in this world as in a mirror,
and things that are above are copied by
things around us.

and capital punishment? No, no! Thee
overlook that in a man wheel they

has had for offending woman scourges

she boornes an outcast, while for men
whose lives have been sodomic for Ile

The Discovery of Neptune.
The soientists of France have just
celebrated the fiftieth anniversary of the
discovery of the planet Neptune by
Urban le Perrier and John Couch
.Adams. Le Verner decided by caloula-
dons that there must be a planet of
about the mass and orbit of Neptune in
order to adeount for certain disturbances
in the orbits of other planets. He there-
fore wrote to Dr. Gallo, the astronomer
of the Berlin Observatory, requesting
/aim to point his telescope to a particular
spot in the sky on an evening indicated,
and, in effect, said: "You will see a
planet which I have not seen, but which,
nevertheless, must be on the spot,
because ray calculations have pointed out
the necessity for Its existence." Dr.
Galls did as directed, and on September
18, 1846, Neptune was in view and
recognized as tho outlying planet wineh
revolved around the sun.
