An Awkward Mistake

-A fine stone chnrcñ was latcly built in Missou ri, upon the facade of which a stone cutter was ordered to cut the following insoription : "My house shall be called the house of prayer." He was referred, for accuraey, to the verse of Scripture in which these words occur : but unfortunately, to the scandal of the society, he transcribed the whole verse - ."my house shall be cilled a house of prayer, but ye have made it a den nf thieves." i@The title to iavor and confidence, says the Boston Post, set up by Eepublicansin behalf of many of their liominoea for office - namely, that thev wero once Demócrata - reminds us oí men seeking employiuent, who present an olcl worn-out testimonial of character because they can't get a new one.
