frozen in the northern parts of the
world; this day it exposeth us to be
shipwrecked at sea, the next to be ter
rified on shore; and all this to get n
great heap of wealth, which when we
have gotten, it will not let MS enjoy;
SO that when we have what we so inn
patiently hungered after, we have only
acquired n greater necessity; before
we needed only what we had not but
now we need what we have, too; our
covetous desires Turing us off, and not
enduring we should feed upon our own
quarry; and so after all our toll, we
shall need as much at least as we did
before; only before we did not possess
what we needed, whereas now we shall
need what we do not possess.-O Old
Author.

FEMALE FRIENDSHIP "A curious trial
is coming off at the Lincoln assizes. A
married woman of the name of Martha
Howell had fallen, it appears, so des-
perately in love with a young woman
of the name of Johnson, living at
Gainsborough, that after varions fits of
wild jealousy aud violence caused by
Miss Johnsons preference for other
companions, she loaded her pistol and
gave her her choice between returning
to her old friendship or dying on the
spot, after which Martha Howell in
tended to destroy herself She put too
much powder into the pistol, which
jerked it upwards, so that though the
pistol went off Miss johnson escaped,
but of the intention to kill there can
be no doubt. Mrs. Howell is said to
be quite composed and clear in her
mind, and to have expressed frequent
ly her regret that she did not succeed,
and her perfect willingness to be
hanged if she had. Women's enthu-
siasm for each other is often of a We
hement, frothy, and hysterical kind;
but the 'your love or your life" sort
of passion was, we thous hit, reserved
for another relation. - London Paper.

DSg' During recent fire, an old wo-
man was very anxious to go through a
street which at the time was consid-
cred dangerous; but all her eff
forts were unavailing. At length she
pushed one of. the policemen aside,
when that worthy preserver of the pub
lie peace said, "Now, marin, you can't
pass; if you do, you'll be killed, and
then you'll blame us afterward."

EATING ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS kind
of food has the most nourishment and
costs the least? is question of great
practical importance. A dollars worth
of meat, at twenty-five cents pound,
goes as far as fifty cents worth
of butter at half dollar a pound.
Three pounds of flour, at eight cents
a pound, is said to contain as much
nutriment as nine pounds of roast beef,
which at twenty-five cents is S225;
that is, twenty-five cents worth of
of flour goes as far as nine times that
much money spent for roast beef as
weighed at the butchers stall A pint
of white beans, weighing one pound
and costing seven cents, contains as
much nutriment as three pounds and
a half of roast beef costing eighty
seven and half cents OF all the ar
ticles that can be eaten, the cheapest
are bread, butter, molasses, beans and
rice. A pound of corn meal Indian
goes as far as pound Of flour, so that
fine family -four at SIG a barrel in New
York City in July, 1864, and corn
meal at four cents, the latter is one
half less expensive. If corn and wheat
were ground, and the whole product,
bran and all, were made into bread,
fifteen per cent. of nutriment would
be saved, with much greater health

L COMMISSION would inform the patriotic,
the philanthropic and Christian men and women
of the country, of its work and its wants
1t cares for the body and the soul as did Christ
when on earth. BY its delegates who go with
out pay and from love, hospital stores, home
comforts and reading matter are given directly
to those who need them, together with such
personal ministrations and religious instruction
each case may require-and the Gospel is
preached at every opportunity.
In the hospitals, on the battle-felds, and in
the camps of the strong and brave the delegates
are welcomed by surgeons, officers and men, aud
their labors have, III the Judgment Of those
well-intorIned, saved thousands of lives, and
been blessed to the conversion of thousands of
souls, besides raising the morals of the army
and strengthening the links that bind the soldier
to his home.
1t has the confidence of the Government and
all the facilities from it that military exigencies
will allow.
Its affairs are managed by business men who
give their services Railroads and kilograms
are free to it, the Bible Society gives its pubca-
tons; but religious reading matter must be pur-
chased, and the demand is far beyond the ability
of the Commission to meet it,
