The Death of Adam.
A BEAUTIFUL LEGEND.

Nine hundred and thirty years old when
he felt within him the sentence of the
Judge,--"Thou shalt surely die." 3
"Let all my sons come before me-" said
he to weeping Eve, "that I may yet see
and bless them." They came and stood
before him, many in number; and they
prayed that he might live t.gza aa 20
"Who among you," said Adam, twill
60 to the Holy Mount Peradventure he
shall find mercy for me, and bring to me
Of the fruit of the Tree of Life" His sons
all offered themselves at once and Seth,
the most righteous among them, was chos-
en- by his father for the mission.
His head sprinkled with ashes, he hasten
ed forth and tarried not till he stood before
the gates of Paradise. 'Be merciful," so
prayed the suppliant, 80 thou who delight,
est in mercy and send to my father of fruit
from the Tree Of Life" On a sudden the
flaming cherub stood before him, holding
in his hand, instead of fruit, branch bear
ing three leaves. stake it to thy father"
said the friendly spirit, '4or his last re
freshment here for life eternal dwells not
on this earth. But hasten for the hour is
come" Seth fastened back, and said, IT
bring thee no fruit from the Tree of Life,
my father the angel gave me only this
branch for thy lastrefieshment upon earth.
The dying patriarch took the branch, and
was glad. He smeled upon it the fragrance
Of Paradise, and his soul was lifted up
%Children,' said he, ''for us eternal life
dwells not on earth; you, too, shall follow
me-. But on these leaves scent the breath
of another world, even re-animation." At
this his eyes grew dim land he gave up the
ghost. 80 a3a4 aaa5 s
The children Of Adam buried their father,
and wept for him thirty days; but Seth
wept not. He planted the branch upon his
fathers grave, at the head of the deceased !;
and named it the brancd Of the New Life, of
the Resurrection from the dead That ten
der branch grew to "a mighty tree and
many Of the children of Adam strength
ened themselves from it with the confidence
Of that other life It survived to following
generations. 1t hourished in.its beauty in
the garden Of David. And when upon a
stem Of this tree the Restorer of Immortali-
ty gave UP his holy life the fragrance. ..of
that other life spread far and wide from it
among all nations. HERDER.

A new Cure for Hydrophobia.


A new cure for Hydrophobia has been
mentioned in England An eminent ply
sician refers to Youatt, who told him that
his remedy was to allow the common nitrate
of silver, easily procurable, to filter into
the wound it decomposes the saliva, and
in doing this destroys the virus. He says
that the nitrate of silver chases the poison
into the very caprillaries, and neutralizes it.
The physician adds, that "poison of hydro
phobia remains latent on an average six
weeks; the part heals over, but there is a
pimple or wound, more or less irritable; it
then becomes painful, and the germ, what
ever it is, is ripe for dissemination into the
system, and then all hope is gone" Never
theless, betweensthe time Of the bite and
the activity of the wound, previous to dis
semination, the caustic or nitrate of silver
is sure preventive; after that, it is as use
less as all the other means. The best mode
of application Of the nitrate of silver is by
introducing it solidly into the wound. 1t
melts in ar equal quantity of water If
already healed, the cicatrix should be rubbed
and cauticated away entirely.

Discrimination.

If dissimulation is ever to be pardoned
it is that which men have recourse to, in
order to obtain situations which may en-
large their sphere of general usefulness,
and afford the power of beneGtting their
country, to these who must have been other
wise contented only with the will. Liberty
was more effectually befriended by the dis
stimulation of one Brutus, than by the dag
ger of the other. But such precedents are
to be adopted but rarely, and more rarely
to be advised. For Cromwell is much
more common character than Brutus; and
many men who have gained power by an
hypocracy as gross as that of Pope Sixtux.
have not used it half so well. This pope.
when cardinal, counterfeited sickness, and
all the infrmities Of age, so well, as to dupe
the whole conclave. His name was Montalto.
and on division for the vacant apostoIic
chair, he was elected as stop-gap by both
parties, under the idea that he could not
possibly live out the year. The moment he
was chosen, he threw away his crutches,
and began to sing Te Deum with much
stronger voice than his electors had bar
gained for; and instead of walking with a
tottering step, and gait almost bending to
the earth, he began to walk, not only firm,
but perfectly upright. On some one re-
marking to him on this sudden change, he
observed, while | was looking for the KEYS
of ST. Peter, it was necessary to stoop. but
having found them, the case is altered. T.
is but justice tc add, that he made most
excellent use of his authority and power );
and although some may have obtained the
papal chair by less Objectionable means,
none have filled it with more credit to them
selves, and satisfaction to others.
Every one complains of the badness
Of his memory, but no one of his judgment

Judge Taney's Longevity.

, The following anecdote is told of Judge
fancy, who, during the memory Of most
men now living, has seemed just about to
sink into the grave. As long ago as 1910,
a gentlemen in Maryland having some inter
est in a disputed land case, in which there
was considerably more feeling than money
involved, inquired of merchant in Balti-
more for the name of some able lawyer to be
employed. The name of Mr.. Taney was
given. The gentleman called on the latter,
but, after talking with him awhile, declined
engaging his services, giving afterwards as
his reason that he intended his case should
stay in court at least five years; that Ia
ney would not live half the time, and then
he would have to engage new counsel.
Fifty years have passed since then, and ten
years ago that individual and all the other
parties to the protracted suit, as well as the
lawyers on both sides, and the Judge who
tried the cause, were all dead, and Taney
was as hale and hearty as he had ever been.
but still deceiving people with his apparent
eebieness.

Discontentment.

A popular anecdote probably fable
says that a certain man who felt great
annoyance in enduring some ordinary pri-
vations in life, came to suffer actual misery
by having them removed. He required
to travel much, and being often fatigued
by journeying a-foot, thought that if be
had horse, he should become contented
and happy. He obtained horse but
now he experienced inconvenience from
dust, cold, sunshine, and rain, and he tho't
that if he had chariot, he should begin
to enjoy comfort. He obtained chariot ;
but, having been long accustomed to brisk
bodily exercise which was essential to the
conservation of his health, he now became
intirm and equity, unable to travel either
on foot, on horseback, or in chariot, and
quite incapable OF almost every species of
enjoyment. This mans feelings were a
true type OF. all discontment and all worldly
aspirings. Annoyances or privations cling
to every situation in life, and cannot be
shaken off, or made to hang lightly, by
any possible human device or any concciva-
bic earthly attainment. Whoever feels
the grouEd he treads on moist and miry
will only move forward into sloughs and
pitfalls, if he attempt TO reach the ignis-
fa,us Of worldly happiness !, while, if he
shall have light to his feet and lamp to
his path, until the day dawn, and the day
star a"ise, which shall pour around him the
beams Of perfectjoy. o s1

The Resources of the u. States.

The Report of Hon. Samuel b. Ruggles
to the International Statistical Congress,
held at Berlin in September last, has been
laid before the United States Senate. 1t is
a well written and carefully prepared
statement, containing many importantfacts.
The International Statistical Congress, to
which Mr.. Ruggles was the accredited rep
resentative of the United States, was at
tended by delegates from thirty -thra Q gov
.ernments. In one Of the papers presented
to the Congress was an allusion to the
confederate States of America" Mr..
Ruggles protested against this quasi recog-
milton Of the rebels, and the phrase was
altered to "some of the States of America." :"
The Report laid before the Senate Ecom
prises the able paper on the resources of
the United States laid before the 1ntcrna-
tional Congress, andsthe accompanying let
ter to Secretary Seward. The paper ar
ranges the subjects under four heads-ter-
ritoIial area, increase of population, advance
in the values of real and personal property,
and the yield of gold fields. Every state
ment made is proved by figures from official
sources, and the inference that must be
drawn by the reader is that the nation is
amply able to bear the burden Of the war,
to pay the debts incurred by it, and to sus-
tain the increasing immigration from Eu-
rope 81 l3 ~
During the last sixty years, while, the
population Of France has increased but 81
per cent, and that of England 124 per cent,
Prussia increasing 70 per cent. in forty
five years. the increase in the United
States has been 593 per cent. During the
last ten years the foodproducing Western
States, with an area Of 2S2,OOO,O acres,
increased in population from 100000 to
nearly 100000, the increase being greater
than the entire population of Scotland.
The improved land Of these States increased
in the same time from 26,6S0,000 acres to
81 ,S26, 600 acres, leaving a residue of $780,
|
100000 yet to be improved. The increase
of improved land in ten years is equal to
seven-eighths of the arabic area of Eng
land, which is stated to be 2S,oOo0
acres.
The increase of cereal products in these
States, in these ten years, is greater than
the whole cereal product of England, and
nearly equal to that of France. These re-
suits are due mainly to immigration. I
In regard to the metalliferous deposits of
the country, Mr.. Ruggles presents some in
teresting statistics, and concludes with the
following paragraph:
''From the documents and other eyiden-
ces now before the international Statistical
Congress, it must be apparent that the me-
talliferous regions of the United States of
America are destined, sooner or later, to
add materially to the supply of the precious
metals, and thereby to affect the currency
of the world, especiallyif taken in connec-
ton with the capacity of the auriferious re-
gions of Russia, Australia and British
America, and the possibility of increased
activity in the mines of Mexico" q

PRovIScIALsa on TIE W1SG.-There is
tribulation in Canada. So many Of the stall
wart youth of that rigorous climate have
emigrated to the United States, attracted by
the great demand for labor and the high
prices paid, as well as by the huge bounties
which our. free-handed people cheerfully
give to volunteers for the army, that the
Canadian authorities begin to see visions of
decreasing prosperity. 1t is estimated that
more than five thousand men have left Can
ada for Ssthe States" during the past two
months, and an equal number have de-
parted from Nova Scotia. There is room
enough here for all these people, and as
many more as may choose to come. Be-
sides, emigration from the British provinces
is less expensive than trip from England.
and laborers OF soldiers will not lack far
plenty of work or good pay.

The Value Of a scrap-Book.

Every one who takes newspaper which
he in the least degree appreciates, will often
regret to see q number thrown aside for
waste paper which contains some interest
ing and important article. A good way to
preserve these is the use of a scrap book.
One who has never been accustomed thus
to preserve short articles can hardly esti-
mate the pleasure it affords to sit down and
turn over the pleasant and familiar pages.
Here choice piece of poetry meets the
eye, which you remember you were so glad
to see in the paper, but which would long
since have been destroyed had it not been
for your scrap book. There is a witty an
ecdote, it does you good to laugh over yet,
though for the twentieth tine Next is a
valuable receipt you had almost forgotten,
and which you had found just in time to
save you much perplexity. There is a
sweet little story, the memory of which has
cheered and encouraged you many time
when almost ready to despair under the
pressure Of life's cares and trials. Indeed
you can take up a single paper without re-
perusing it. just glance over the sheet be-
fore you, and see how many valuable items
it contains that would have been of service
to you hundred times in life. A choice
thought is far more precious than bit of
glittering gold. Hoard with care the pre-
cious gems, and see at the close of a year
what rich treasure you have accumu-
lated. a

Emancipation in Russia.

Rev. James Long, missionary of the
Church of England, lately stationed at Cal
cutta, visited Russia last summer to observe
the working of the Emperor's new DEGREES.
His verdict, after an extensive and careful
investigation, is, that an immense and pa
cific revolution has been accomplished, by
which the social and political condition of
the people has been improved, the resour-
ces of the Empire put in better train Of
development, its educational progress es-
tabllshed and assured, and the whole fabric
OF society strengthened A Single stroke
of the Emperor's pen enfranchised twenty
three millions Of serfs at once, and uncon-
ditionally, without serious detriment to any
material interest, and with vast gains in
moral and social effect. It a recent CONVEX
sation with an American gentleman in St.
Petersburg, Prince Gortscbakolf, discussing
the Emperor's policy, declared that the
progress of Russia within the next two
years would astonish the world.

Amusing Calculation of Chances.


1t is easy to show you, reader, that
five hundred years ago the chances were
ten thousand to one that you and / would

generations, we shall be astonished and
Mortified at seeing how narrowly we
have missed having no being For in

the Revolutionary army for six years
and repeatedly exposed to death. On
one occasion, when his company engaged

fallen in one of those attacks, he would
not have married, my father would not

self would have had no being. Again.
my father paid his addressesto certain
young lady, and was engaged to her.
just before the time. appointed for the
marriage, misunderstanding arose be-
tween them, all ties were dismissed, and
my father married another woman-the
same woman who has since done me the
honor of being my mother. Now, if
my father had married the first men
tioned lady, never should have been
born, as her children could not have
possibly been my mothers children, and
my mother might not have had any chill
