A BACKWooDS ADVENTURE.

A Virginia banker, who was the
chairman OF noted infdel club, was
once travelling through Kentucky,
having with him bank bills TO the
amount of S25, 900. When he came to
u lonely forest, where robbers and
murders were said 10 be frequent, he
was soon lost. through taking the
wrong road. The darkness OF the
night came quickly over him, and how
to escape from the threatened danger,
he knew not In his alarm he sud
denly espied in the distance dim
light, and, urging his horse onward,
he at length came to wretched look
ing cabin. He knocked; the door
was opened by a woman who said
that her husband was out hunting,
but would return, and she was sure he
would cheerfully give him shelter for
the night. The gentleman put up his
horse and entered the cabin. hut with
feelings that can better be imagined
than described. Here he was with a
large sum Of money, and perhaps in
the house Of the re bbers whose name
was terror to the country.
In short time the man of the house
returned. He had on q deerskin shirt,
a bearsliin cap, and seemed much
tatigued, and in no talkative mood
All this BODIED the infidel no good. He
felt for his pistol in his pockets and
placed them so as 10 bo ready for in
slant use. The man asked the stran-
ger TO retire to bed, but he declined,
saying he would sit up by the fire all
night The man urged, but the more
he urged, the equally more the infdei
was alarmed. He felt assured that
this was his last night on earth, but
he determined TO sell his life as dearly
os he could His infdeI principles
gave him ne comfort. His fear grew
into a perfect agony. What was to
be doneY
At length the baekwoodsman arose,
and reached TO the wooden shelf, took
down an old book and said
swell, stranger, # you won't 60 to
bed, will; but it is always my Gus
tom to read chapter Of the Holy
Scriptures before go to bed"
What change did these words
produce Alarm was at once removed
from this skeptic's mind Though
avowing himself an infdel, he had
more confidence in the Bible. He felt
safe He felt that II man who kept
an old Bible in his house, and read it,
and bent his knees in prayer, was no
robbcr or murderer lie listened to
the simple prayer of the good man,
and at once dismissed his fears, aud
laid down in that capin and sleet as
calmly as he did under his fathers
roof From that night he ceased to
revile the good old Bible. He became
sincere Christian, and often related
the story of his eventful journey, TO
prove the folly of inidelty.

there had passed away. ] saw child

THE RAINY DAY.-~A dark day OF
storm recently succeeded a bright one,
when it seemed needless and appoy-

but, sitting by the window, we looked
ont upon the garden with its verduro
and bloom. How still and iragrapt il
seemed in the shade of the passing
hoglsl And when the sun broke
forth again, the strength and beauty
WHICH each plantand flower had rocciv.
ed from the clouds and rain were yisi-
bic everywhere. The roots, had struck
deeper and the stems grown frmer
under the clouds and ip the storm
Thus it is with human souls-with
Gods garden OF ofimmortality. The days
Of darkness and tears come often un.
expected and undesired, but how pre-
eious the fact, that TO every Christian
tboy are sent by the Husbandman
With uRorring adoption to the culture
Of His celestial plants. Not a shad-

the gloom Of the rainy days will call
forth notes ofthe purest thanksgiving
known in lloavcn.-imcueqp Hes

The Poisons in the Kitchen.

A late English magazine contains
tho following, relative TO the poisons
existing in our cooking utensils:
Human beings must have as many
lives as cats are reported TO enjoy, TO
Withstand the repeated poisonings
which analysis and adElteration hun
ters declare them to undergo. Death
is now days acknowledged in well
nigh everything we wear But we
did not think of finding destruction in
tho pots, pans, and kettles OF our
households. Yet there we are assured
it is A practical chemist, finding his
family prostrated with gastric con-
plant that defed the doctors, search
ed vigorously for the cause, and traced
it to copper aRd lead, coming from
cooking utensils and water pipes. The
tin with which the vessels are lined is
accepted as safeguard against the
communication ofany poison from the
metal OF which they are made, but it
may be SOURCE of injury instead of a
preventative. Thus wise: Cooks of.
ten only halfEll their sause pans, and
then the flames that wrap around them
overhead the portions above the liquid
aud oxidize the tin. The liquid be.
comes impregnated with the metal,
which, when it gets into the stomach,
combines with the gastric juice, and
forms a most irritant poison. This is
not all. Your modern tinman ckes
out his expensive metal, the tin, by .
generous admixturo of lead, which ia
much cheaper. The toe free use of
this alloy is prevented by the paternal
government of France, where the fer
banter (tinman) is strictly watched.
Our only resource would be TO discard
everything but iron, plain or enam-
eled, for culinary articles, and this the
cooks would never agree to. SO VIC
must take our poisons ehcerfplly.
