THE Fatal VOW.
ICONTINUED. |

by the blessed virgins of Co
logne," said Rudolph, gazing up,
"'none but O swallow could skim
safely around that wall. can scarce
walk it without feeling my knees
knock together, and he who would
ride it must have his spurs buckled
on by st. Michael, or Satan him
self"
What are you talking Of so loud
ly?" asked young knight who, dur
ing the confusion, had ridden unob-
served into the courtyard. "What
are ye doing, knayes, gazing up at
the walls so earnestly?"
''Ah, is that you, Count Albert, "
said Edric, approaching him. "these
good people are in sore strait be-
tween my lady and Duke Volko and
Baron Konigs, who are marrying our
borders
He told him the occurrences of the
morning, Count Albert listening with
the absent look of o man whose
thoughts are wandering far away,
until he came to the VOW of the
Countess Cunigunde.
The knight looked up at the frown-
ing battlements of the castle, and
Strengthened himself i'll his saddle.
His bright blue eye lighted with that
keen glance with which brave men
measure difficulties, and grapple with
them. "Why not" he murmured
half aloud; she is @ good steed, and
keeps step like human being. Ber-
nard de Vado rode his sire at the
siege of Lilion, and up rampant
almost as narrow as yonder castle
wall. And 1 have loved her so long
and so hopelessly! Why should I
not try?"
LEAD me to your lady" he said,
''since she has given audience to her
vassals, she may not refuse to speak
with NO."
sFair Countess" he said, rs he was
ushered into her presence, "I come
to crave your permission to accept
the test you have imposed on your
suitors.'
''This is worse than madness,
Count Albert" cried Cunigunde.
"By my vow I merely wished to
show the impossibility of complying
with the insolent demands of my vas
sails: The widest knight errant
could not take it up"
perhaps not, fair Cunigunde,"
said the knight; ''but the widest
lover prefers death to hopeless life.
l have thrown myself in forays
against the very lances of my enc
mics, that they might pierce the
heart your scorn has SO cruelty
wounded. But death, that never
comes when it is wanted, fed from
me. At least, will lie under the
battlements of your tower, and your
sweet eyes will drop one tear over
the truest lover woman ever had"

The symptoms of Dyspepsia are various;
heartburn, loss OF appetite, disgust for
foou, sometimes depraved appetite,
scnse-of fulness or weight in the stomach,
sinking or tiuttering IN the pit of the sto-
mach, sour eructations, coated tongue,
acidlty of the stomach, hurried and diff

The sympathetic affections are very di-
versifed-cold feet, pain or weakness
through the limbs, swimming of the head,
sudden flushes of heat, &c.
The use of the QUEENS DELIGHT

The RituaIIstic Controversy.

Rev. Henry W. Lee. D. D., Episcopal
Bishop of Iowa, has issued pastoral
letter, sustaining and supplementary
the late protest OF the bishops against
ritualism. Bishop Lee goes farther
that the protest, and rebuxes some
practices thar are prevalent among
many who do not consider themselves
inclined TO ritualistic successes. He
says: "It is very desirable that there
should be uniformity in the customs
and practices OF our worship, and that
no unauthorized usages should be made
IA test OF true attachment 10 the church.
The application of such II test naturally
grows out of these eXtrarubricul inuO-
vHtions, which Is one strong reason,
among others, against their introduce
ton into any of our congregations
That l may be more explicit, l would
state that, aside from the very preya-
\ lent custom of bowling in the creed at
the name of Jesus,-which itself In our
church is traditional and optional,-I
regard all bOwings and genutleXions
during public service by the clergy or
people, as inexpedieut, not being war
ranted by ruorics, canous, or gem
eTnl custom, and tending to excite
and foster spirit of formal
ism, Mt variance with the simple
| teaching of Christ and his holy apOs-
ties. l would include the habit of
| turning Significantly towards the Lords
table in tine usual Inscription ut the close
of the sermon, as well as in certain
parts of the service where no such di-
rection is given by the church, as
among those practices that are COM
paratively novel and limited, and that
are hindrances to the order and uni
| foTmity that are so much to be desired
in church whose worship is common
prayer and praise, and whose true
prosperity will ever be identified with
ritual simplicity, and with that print
tive faith once delivered TO the saints"
The ritualists pay no attention to the
rsmonstrance OF the bishops, but go
ahead with their show. Copies OF the
remoustruuce were distributed in St.
Adams chapel, New York, last Sun
day, where ritualism hourishes in all
its glory, and the distributor was
obliged to make his escape in haste, OF
there would have been II precious row.
st. Adams is celebrating Lent with
extraordinary pomp and circumstance,
in order to its defiance of the bishops.
CrucihXes, burning candles, process
ions of clergy and choiristers, frequent
crossings, bowings and genutlexions,
are some of the forbidden amusements
with which the high saints of st. Al
bans now delight themselves.

SMALLPOX anu Vaccinatfon---A Nnm
Der of ImpOrtant Items


From the Paris correspondence of the
New York Times we make the follow
ing clip:
1t is well for the public to be inform
ed on the subject of smallpox and
vaccination, for many errors prevail
which ought TO be corrected. DIR.
Danet, charged by the Minister OF the
Interior to make Investigations on the
subject and to report to the Academy of
Medicine the result of his investiga-
tions, after vaccinnting S 500 persons
and 40 animals, and after an extensive
observation, running through several
years, has just reported as follows to the
Academy:
81. Smallpox and cow-pox are two
distinct diseases.
2. Vaccination does not predispose to
8. Vaccination and, smallpox lose
after a certain time their power Of pre-
serving from smallpox.
4. Vaccine matter, therefore, no mat
ter what may be the mode of presery-
ing IL, it has need of being renewed.
3. The predisposition TO smallpox is
so much the greater as the individual
is younger or more aged.
q. Re-vaccination is an absolute ne
cessity.
7. Those even who have had the
smallpox ought to be re-yaccinated
Vaccine matter in passing through
| the human body borrows from its con-
| stitutiOnal principles; it may, therefore,
often be dangerous TO vaccinate with
vaccine matter from arm to arm. 1.-THE
Academy of Medicine had already de-
cided that so far at least as regarded
| syphili.ic affection it was only danger
gerous when blood was contained in the
matter.
9. The COW is refractory to the syphi-
litic virus.
10. The re-vaccinatiou from the COW
to man is the only one which presents
all the guarantees OF success and of Sc
curity.
II. y febrile condition is in general n
cause of failure.
II. Injection, for preserved vaccine
matter, and the multiplicity of scarifi-
cations, in general, are the best means
OF success.
Is. Preserved vaccine matter ought
to be revivitied by trausPlantation to
the heifer.
IA. Vaccine matter ought not to be
used but from the fourth to the end OF
the sixth day after the operation, and
never later.
On $685. persons of all ages vaccina-
ted, it took on 2,S20-that is to say, on
33 per cent, of which 40 per cent. for
the vaccine matter from the heifer, and
% per cent. for the matter passed from
arm to arm,p
