TRIFLES FOR THE CURIOUS.

THE following sentence contains all the letters of the alphabet:
John P. Brady gave me a black walnut box of quite small size.
Ezra 7 : 21 contains all the letters of the alphabet except "j":
"And I, even I, Artaxerxes, the king, do make a decree to all the treasurers which are beyond the river, that whatsoever Ezra, the priest, the scribe of the law of the God of heaven shall require of you, it be done speedily."
And the entire alphabet is in these lines, viz.:
God gives the grazing ox his meat, He quickly hears the sheep's low cry, But man, who tastes His finest wheat, Should joy to lift His praises high. —Anon.
