A JUDGES MUSTARD BATH.

Two or three days ago, young friend
who has recently been spending some lime
in Georgia, relatedito US an anecdote which
shows how thoroughly scared the people OF
the interior Of Georgia were during the pre-.
vaence Of the yellow fever in Savannah.
1t seemed that Judge R, Of the Su.
preme Court of that State, was up in the
country at that time, but within twen.y.four
hours run by rail, Of the terrible dis.
ease. Quite suddenly, late one afternoon,
he was seized with headache, pains in his
back and limbs, &c. Having heard that
these were the salutations Yellow Jack ex.
tended to his victims on approaching them,
the Judge. in great CONSERVATION, applied
to a friend "who Yas posted" for advice.
A hot mustard bath was urgently advised,
and being prepared the Judge was soon Law
ing himself with tle irritating fluid. Pre-
senty he felt betto, and finding cake OF
soap in the vessel Of water, he began to ap-
ply it freely upon His person. After quite q
pleasant exercise 40 this way, he looked
down on his bodyan limbs. and discovered
he was turning bl-ck. Oh, horrors! His
friend was hurriedls sent for, came and de-
clared that the sympton, was expressive of
yellow fever.
"But," said the Judge, shivering the while,
al feel no pain | feel well !"
$50 much the worse; the absence Of pain
is marked symptom"
GOOD Heavens" the Judge CALCULATED,
"what shall do2"
"The only hope is in the mustard, rub
away" was all the consolation his friend
could give.
And rub he did with will. He used the
soap to open every possible pore, and after
some minutes sent for candle Qor the twi.
light was fading,) to ascertain his exact
cnticular condition. On examination, he
was as black as crow, and the soap, which
careless servant had dropped into the tub
was discovered to be somebody's " Patent
Paste Backing" We only add that the
Judge survived.-Montgomery Mail.

A SCOLDING WIFE,

Got scolding wife, have you! Well,
its your own fault, ten to one. Women are
all naturally amiable, and when their tempers
get crossed, its the men that do it. Just
look at yourself as you came home last
night Slamming doors, and kicking every
thing that laid in the way right and left
because--well you could not tell for the
life of you what it was for. Suppose you
had been lying your face embargo all day
for those who cafed nothing for you, smiling
and nodding, hemming and hailing, and
wanting to get where you could enjoy a
superlative ill.nature.
No wonder your wife was cross, getting
supper with the baby in her arms! Why
didn't you take the baby, and trot and
please! Groom was all in confusion
why didn't you put it to rights! "You
want little resta" So does your wife,
and she gets precious little, poor woman,
You are at your shop-walking briskly
through the sunshine this bracing weather
reading the experimenting friends and
acquaintances-sitting costly in the office.
She is at home with clingiag arms dragging
about her neck, loving but still wearisome
at times. She is dependant upon the call
OF neighbor for little break up, in her
monotonous life, or the opening of Il window
upon stunted yard for what fresh air comes.
Wake up, man alive, and look into the mat
ter. Put on your best smiles the moment
your foot touches the door step. Treat the
little room to broad grin. And your wife
to kiss Give the baby some sugar plums,
and little Bobby new picture book to busy
his bright eyes with. Tell that tired looking
woman tha: you're going to stay at home
of evenings Our word for it, apologies will
be plentiful, supper will come on like magic,
everything will have an extra touch. At
times there will be something very much
like tears in the good woman's eyes, and
her voice will be quite husky, when she asks
you if your tea quite suits. Of course it
will be charm.
1t may be little silent that evening.
You miss the complaining tone, and scold.
ing and fault finding. But your look is her
gain; she is thinking Of the long past, but
considers upon the whole she is happier
woman tonight than she ever was in her
whole life before.
Give the new plan fair trial. Gradually
as you return, you will find the house in per-
feet order. Old dresses will be remodelled,
and your wife will appear as good as new.
Home will grow more pleasant, and the
brightest smile upon your features during
the day will be reflected on the thought that
evening is coming, with its pleasant charm
of your wife and little ones.
Scolding wife indeed! If you men did
as you should, wouldn't such wife be an
anomaly ?-Olive Branch.

ing. But the day for stone hatchets and
blunt axes is past, and from the humblest
craft to the most intellectual profession, in
order to succeed, it is requisite to be clever,
and active, and well informed. Doubtless,
sickness and other calamties may be inter-
posed; but, assuredly, no one has right to
quarrel with the world, if it refuses to pay
for misshapen garments and unreadable po-
ems. And, therefore, would say to my
young hearers, make diligence in business

when you enter on active life, you will find

you have heard of glutted markets and a
redundant population, you will find that
there is no surplus of tradesmen, or servants
or scholars, who with exalted piety combine
professional excellence. Large as is the
accumulation of people who throug h mis-.
conduct have broken down, or who through
indolent mediocrity never can get on, you
will find no glut Of talented goodness, or of
intelligence in union with principle. In that

From the Due West Telescope.
HE LOVED HIS ENEMIES.

"Why, who was so mean and servlle as
that-eso destitute of spirit as to love his
enemies" But not SO fast, proud.hearted
worm of the dust. He is the eternal Son OF
God, the Maker Of all worlds, and the pos
SCISSOR of all things, who keeps the breath
in your nostrils aud from whom you receive
every good gift. He-this great God, and
blessed Redeemer-loved his enemies
Father, forgive them" When did he say
thiss While hanging those six dreary hours
upon the tree, making atonement for our
sins. He wished those who pierced him,
and were putting him to death, to be fergiv-
en-. And did not this same Jesus command
his apostles, when they went forth, to preach
the gospel, 10 "begin at Jerusalem" right in
the midst of his cruel murderers-to make
the first offers Of pardon and eternal life to
those who mad put him to death! O what
amazing compasson! Surely he was divine,
or he could never have done this! And was
not his whole heart engaged in deeds of love
in behalf Of his enemies, while he sojourned
on earth! Was it not his love for his ene-
mics that brought him to earth, and offered
him as sacrifice for sin upon the cross
Why was he covered with dew of blood Z
Why did he deny himself the light of his
own Fathers countenance, which proved
such bitter trial to his soul9 Why did he
so meekly bear the contumely, reproach,
derision, and bloody cruelties of men? Why
did he submit to be tortured, killed, and
buried! He suffered it all for his enemies.
"God commendeth his love to us in that
while we were enemies Christ died for u" )"
He was despised and rejected Of men,
a man of sorrows and acquainted with
grief; and we hid as it were our faces from
himhe was despised and we esteemed him not.
But he was wounded for our transgressions,
he was bruised for our iniquilies, the chas.
tsement of our peace was upon him, and
with his stripes we are healed" Follower
Of Jesus, have you an enemy! Initiate the
example of your blessed Master-forgive-
yea, love; and do what you can to subdue
his enmity; and at any rate labor for the
good Of his immortal soul. And let this
blessed Redeemer, who loved his enemies Tor
else no living man could be saved) be the
object of your love and worship. Set your
affection upon him-forget him not--trust
in him-obey his commands-and then
Glory! Glory! Glory!

OLD but GOOD.

We think we have published the follow.
ing some years ago but as it is good story
it will bear telling again.
An amusing incident occurred in one OF the
down east churches some years ago. The
clergyman gave out on pleasant Sabbath
in July:
I love to steal awhile away
From every cumbering care,
And spend the hours of setting day
In humble, grateful prayer.
The regular chorister being absent, the
duty devolved upon the good old Deacon NJ,
who commenced
81 love 10 steal"
And then bagged down, and raising his
voice to d still higher pitch, he sung:
81 love to steal"
And, as before, he concluded he had got
the wrong pitch, and deploring that he had
not his pitch tuner" he determined to sue
ceed, if he died in the attempt.
By this time all the ladies were tittering
behind their fans, while the faces of the
"yonng uns" were all in broad grin. At
length, after desperate cough, he made a
final demonstration, and roared out:
81 lore to steal'
The effort was to much; every other but
the gody and eccentric parson was laugh
ing, who arose, and with the utmost cool
ness, said:
"seeiug our brothers propensi'es, let US

and with much earnestness, of the dangers

ded by asking the following question: "ls

THE DOOMED MAN.


There is time, we know not when,
A point we know not where,
That marks the destiny Of men
To glory or despair.
There is line, by US unseen,
That crosses every path;
The hidden boundary between
Gods patience and his wrath.
To pass that limit is to die,
To die as if by stealth;
1t does not quench the beaming eye;
Or pale the glow Of health.
The conscience may be still at ease,
The spirits light and gay;
That which is pleasing still may please,
And care be thrust away.
But on that forehead God has set,
Indelibly mark,
Unseen by man for man as yet
Is blind and in dark.
And yet the doomed mans path below,
Like Eden may have bloomed;
He did not, does not, will not know
Or feel that he is doomed.
He knows. he feels, that all is well,
And every fear is calmed:
He lives, he dies, he wakes in hell,
Not only doomed, but damned.
O where is this mysterious bourne,
BY which our path is crossed;
Beyond which, God himself hath sworn,
That he who goes is lostl
How far may we 60 in sin
How long will God forbear!
Where does hope end aud where begin
The continues Of despair
An answer from the skies is sent:
Ye that from Goo depart!
While it is called to-day repent!
And harden not your heart.
