The Physician.

An ancient writer on the Physician, the use
of means and prayer, says:
4sHonor the Physician with that honor that is
due unto him. because Of necessity: tor the LORD
hath created him. For the Most High cometh
healing. and he shall receive gifts of the King.
The knowledge of the Physician lifteth up his
head. and in the sight of great men he shall be
in admiration. The Lord hath created medl-
cipes of the earth, and he that is wise will not
abhnr them. x With such doth he heal
men, and taketh away their pains: OF such doth
the Apothecary make confection, and yet he
cannot finish his own works; for of the Lord
con,eth prosperity and wealth over all the earth,
NV son fail not in the sickness but pray unto
the Lord and he will make thee whole.
Then give place to the Physician; for the Lord
hath created him; let him not 60 from thee tor
thou hast need of him. The hour may come
that their enterprises may have good success
For they shall pray unto the Lord, that he pros
per that which is given for ease, and their physit
for the prolonging of life'-Eccl. 50: 1-14.

jeff. Davis has the bearing and adj
dress of Southern gentleman, but has
not the mental grasp of a statesman.
He is shallow and never originated any
great measure. remember the first
speech he made in Congress. It was
on the slavery question. He dwelt at
length on the accounts of Ham, Hagar
and Onesimus, and TO his own SatiSEaC-
