The language of nature at:ests that whoever
would enjoy the pleasures of food, the beauties
OF flowers and landscapes, the joys OF compan-
ionshp, the richness of literature. or the honors
of station and r,nown, must preicrre their health.
And yet how little il il valued, and how care
lessIy preserved. The stomach Is the receptacle
of all nourishment, and the fount ain from which
all parts of the body derive their sustenance.
When foul. injurious food enters the stoma ch,
acute sympathy disorganizes all other organs
and disease, more or less painful, must follow.

There can be no medical remedy that will turn

Perverting HOLY Writ

The Iowa City Republican of last we k
and the Muscatine Journal of the 18th, and
numerous other papers all over the country
publishes the following is remarkable
prophecy from the 9Th, 10th and last verses
of the 4th chapter of Haggai.
"Beholl, there shall be a rebellion in the
of charots and the nation shall be as:onish'
ed thereat.
"And 10, behold, because of the sin of the
South her mighty men shall be as babes,
her gates shall be destroyed utterly, saith
the Lord, yea utterly destroyed shall be her
gates, and rice fields shall be wasted and her
slaves set free
"And behold great ships fiom the North
shall devour her pride, and storm from
the West shall lay wsate her habitations.
Yea, saith the Lord, and her dominion shall
be broken"
The most remarkable Thing about this pro-
phecy is, that there is no 4th chapter in the
book of l!aggai, and no such language used
by the prophet in either of the two chapters
which the book contains, nor does the word
'rice" occur in the Bible at all. The edi
tors who publish such stuff are either badly
humbugged or are trying to badly Aumbug
somebody else.
Bennett Of the N. Y. Herald says: "It
seems very likely that this remarkable pro
phecy about South Carolina niggers and
rice fields is part Of a chapter from the in
stallment of q long promised "anti slavery
Bible" This and other circumstances
some of which we shall refer to presently
would seem to indicate that the said Bible is
in an advanced stage of progress, and forms
part of combined English American aboli.
ton scheme to create q revolution among
u.s. destroy the government and the country
and at the same time pollute the morals of
the people by corrupting the fountain OF
Holy Writ"

PRAYER for a Dying Enemy.
Ioa0a City Press.

A most touching scene took place at the
affair Of Major Hoods already alluded to.
Among those mortally wounded was a north
ern man; he was shot through both hips, and
had fallen on the road where he was discov-
cred by Lousianian. He was suffering the
most intense pain, his face and body distort,
ed by bis agonizing sutfe ings. He begged
for water, which was promptly given him
HIS head and shoulders were raised to
make him comfortable, and his face and for
head bathed in water. He asked the Loui.
snian to pray for him, who was forced to
acknowledge bis inability to pray. At the
moment one of the Mecklinburg troops
came up, and the poor fellow urged his re-
quest with great earnestness. The Virgin
lab knelt beside him, and asked the wound
ded man if he was Christian, and believed
in the promises of Christ to save repentant
sinners. He answered yes. The trooper
then commenced prayer, forvent, pathetic
and eloquent. The soldiers face lost all
traces of his recent suffering and became
placid and benignant, in his new born love
for his enemy, attempted to encrcle his
neck with bis arms, but only reached the
shoulder where his hand rested, and with his
gaze riveted on the face OF the praying
trooper, he appeared to drink in the words
of hope and consolation, the promise of
Christ's mercy and salvation, which flowed
from his lips; as the parched earth drinketh
up the rain; and as the solemn amen died
on the lips Of the christian soldier, the
wounded mans hand relaxed it's hold and
fell to the ground and his spirit took its
fight to unknown realms. The scene was
solemn and impressive, and the group was
all in tears. Having no implements to dig
his grave, and expecting the return OF the
enemy in large force, they left him-not,
however, before arranging bis dress, straight.
enning his limbs and crossing his hands on
his chest; thus leaving evidences to the dead
mans companions that his last moments had
been ministered to by humane men.
