The two sone of Isaac were strikingly unlike Esau was a daring, impulsive, fiekle man, of a. roving dispoeition. He "was a cun- ning bunter" tv. 371, anti, gained his livelihood by following that avoeetion. Jaeob Wa8 a herdsman, but crafty, alert and a sehenter. Ile inherited hie moth- er's traits 10 this respect,. Lend from his father he inherited an aptitude for bust. bow, alsteu Ives leatte's favorite, and jaeob was Rebekah's. The birthright, or the righte and privilegde et the first born, was highly esteemed in aneient times, and 00e wInt looked upoa it . slightingly was contidered "paofane" person (Mb. 12:10. The proMise bed been made to Rebekah .that *the elder shoUld Servo the younger;who was eager to obtain the birthright. . A favorable Anmortunity came, when Esau returned tired and famished from his hunting one day and asked. Jacob for some red pottage, or soup, which he Wats Making; from lentils, a vegetable resembling peas or beaus. Eisen was rash and readily. promised to give ids birthright , to, jaeob, who had. demanded it in re- turn for the pottage. Esau did wrong in thus trifling away that treasure which was his througb the provideuee of -Clod,, and which made its -possessor the head of the family,. entitled hint to a double portion of the father'a estate and conetituted him the priest of the family. Jacob's sin was no leas- than Esau's, however, for he took advantage * Esau'e moral weakness ana his fam- iehed condition to seoire the birth- right. - Jacob 'obtains the bleseing through deception (27:1-29). 1.5. Isaa.c at the age of- °Ile hundred thirtyeseven thought he was soon going to aie, yet he li•ved forty-three years after thie. 1L:s eyes were dim, and with physical weakness upon him he believed tee time had come when he ought. to bestow the blessing of the firstborn upon Eotu. Ile therefore directed him to take his weapons aud briog home home venison, feom whieh to prepare on appettenag meal, that be might bestow the bless. ing, and pledge*the same in eating of the meal that he should prepare. Isaac was fond cif the venison that Wall brought him (25:28), '0-17. When Re- bektih' heard 'seat's direetions to ltsau, she thought the thne had come for lotion, or thh. bleesing, proinised Jaeob would go to Esau. Therefore she plotted with Jatob to deceive Iseae and obtain the blessing of the first-born. She prepared two kids in.suelt a =line.. that they would resemble the "oavottry meat" that Esaa would bring. She may - aped Jaeob's hands and neck with the skin of •the kid, so that, if Isaac should feel them, there would be a resemblance toedtsau, who was a hairy notn. To Make the deception more complete, Jacob put on Esau's garments. Thue prepared, daeob went on in his base de- eeption. 22. Jacob's voive-:leaseeds eyes were dim (v. 1), and it is prObable that hie tearing was impaired to some extent, ao that he had to depend largely on the s'ense of feeling. demob was either un- able to disguise his voiee, or. be and Rebekah had not phew& .for that, Hands of Esau-Rebekah's scheine work- ed to her satisfaction.. 23. 1?leeerned him nota -Notwithstanding the doubt ebout the voice being that of Esed, heaac .oteeptedeJaeob ati Esau.

Woodstock, March 3a. -Foul pfay is strongly suspected in the death of Fred Beemer, of Blenheim township, whose farm is four miles east of Drumbo village. This death took place one Tuesday last, but it was only to -day It became known that there was anything peculiar in it. On Saturday, March 22, Beemer took a dose of medicine, and soon af- terwards went into convulsions, A doctor was called and Beemer was treated. Sunday he had partly re- covered, and Monday was well again. On Tuesday he took a dose of salts, went into convulsions, and died in the evening. There seems no reason to suspect suicide, as Deemer showed every an- xiety to recover after the first attack, and was intensely keen to have a doc- tor summoned immediately when taken ill Tuesday. He Is survived by his wife and eight children, the eldest being thirteeo years. His wife was his own niece, being a daughter Oa a brother. He owned a 200 -acre farm, now heavily encumbered, but no one has seen any signs of despondency or worry in him, and if the analysis allows strychnine, mystery will , sote round the circumstances.
