USING THE WORLD.

In providing for our daily necessities we
must use the world But the question that
comes into the court Of Christian conscience
is, "Have I right to enjoy the good and
pleasant things Of this life, over and above
my necessities all heir of Immortality, ought
| to seek these things?"
The general principle is plain. Our senses,
our tastes, our social nature, were not given
us merely to be reprcssed. We have a right,
for example, to the enjoyment of the brilliant
cooring of nature in these autumn days. We
have a right to intellectual and social pleas
ures. We need not turn away from elo-
qucnce, poetry, music or art We should do
what We can to make home as pleasant and
blessed as possible.
Further the Bible by no means condemns
earthly prosperity; it rather speaks Of its de-
sirablcness. The spirit Of asceticism is not
Biblical. Christ, the great Exemplar, came
not with raiment of camcls' hair, with a
leathern girllc, dwelling in the desert and
eating locusts and wild honey. He dwelt
among men, partook of their feasts; he wore
a robe too fine for the soldiers to rend.
The true principle is in the divinely in
spired direction that we may use, but not use
s'overmuch" We must not give the things
of the world-its pleasures, its tastes, its nat
ural duties even-too prominent position in
our affairs, or too great an influence over our
conduct.
That to which we all are exposed is not
asccticism, but worllness. This is one of the
threatening dangers of the church to-day,
and the best rule when we are in doubt as to
the application of the principle, is to err on
the safe side When once the food-gates are
open it is hard to close them. The danger is
not that we shall deny ourselves too much,
but too little.
"The fashion of this world passeth away"
We gain property slowly-it may vanish in
an hour. We seek ease and comfort, and
they eva1e U.s. Intellectual requirements,
cultivated tastes, do not give balm to the
troubled soul. Our friends die and are
buried. We grow older day by day, and
pass on toward the grave. Should we not see
to it, then, that we arc governing our charac-
ter by those things which are enduring
"The things which are seen are temporal, the
things which are not seen are eternal"

The Arabian Horse.

The Arabian is still one of the most
distinct varieties of this noble animal,
and also one of the most priced, being
eagerly sought for by the Turks and
Christians in Asia, Southern Russia,
India, and even Australia. In his ma
tive deserts he is still sometimes to be
seen in half-wild state, though most
probably owned by some Of the "dwel-
lers in tents peculiar to that region.
But it is the most domestic breed with
which we have chiefly to do, and which
is carefully preserved in pure state by
the chief Of the various tribes, though
it is supposed not SO free from stain
now as was formerly the case. The
head. of the Arab horse is the most
beautiful model of nature, giving the
idea of courage tempered with docility
and submission to man better than any
other animal, and even more 80 than the
dog. =.
It is seldom, perhaps, that SO 5eauti-
full frame exists; but examples are
not wanting of such union of elegance
with perfect good and useful points.
The length and muscularity of the fore
arm are also remarkable, and the set
ting on of the tail is peculiarly high
points which have been generally trans
mitted to our thoroughbred horses, des-
cended from Arabian blood. Many
modern horses of this breed are exceed
ingly wicked and full of tricks, espe-
cially in India, where an Arab horse is
synonymous with kicker and bitter,
and plunger; but at the same time he is
valued because he is always a good
hack, and bears out the heat of the
Indian Summer without injury. To
the modern sportsman he is valuable
because he faces the elephant and tiger
better than any other breed. In height,
he is generally little under fifteen
hands high and in color, either bay,
black or gray.
The Barb is an African horse, of
smaller size; but of coarser make than
the Arabian, and evidently fed on more
nutritious food. As his name implies,
his native land in Barbary but there is
always great doubt as to what particular
breed the imported horses belong, be-
cause they are carried considerable dis
tances from their native plains, and are
also then mixed in blood. 1t is gener-
ally supposed that the Barb is the pro-
genitor of one root of our best English
stock, and the Godolphin Arabian, as
he was called, belonged to this blood
but the disputed point cannot possibly
be settled, as there is only one argu-
ment in favor of the supposition, found
ed upon his enormously high crest ;
while his superior size, being fifteen
hands high, argues just as strongly in
favor of his Arab descent. But the
Spanish horse is, no doubt, descended
from the Barb, thus having been carried
into Spain by the Moors when they
overran the country; and, as the ap-
pearance of the Spanish horse is totally
opposed to that of the descendants OF
Godolphin, it is still stronger proof OF
the Arabian ancestry or, at all events,
an argument against his claim to Bar
barry as native climate.

Bitten by a Rattlesnake.

At Cornwall, N. Y, Joseph Hulse, a
wood chopper, was bitten by. a rattle
snake. While on Storm-King Noun
tain, five miles up, he encountered a
serpent, and, wanting one for friend
who had rheumatism, the belief of many
hereabouts being that snake grease is a
cure for it, he chased the snake, which
took refuge in wood pile, and Hulse
seized him by the back of The neck, but
so far from the head that it contrived
to turn and plant one of its fangs in the
index finger of his right hand. Hulse
held fast to his snake nevertheless,
stamped his head off, and then spent
half an hour in looking for white. ash
leaves, which are believed to be an an
tidote for the poison. He found none
to suit him, however, and started for
Cornwall. He was bitten at 7, and it
was eleven o'clock when he reached
the village, and DR.. Beattie was sum-
moned.
At this time the arm and finger were
very much swollen and very gangre-
nous, the action of the heart had almost
ceased, and the man seemed like one in
state of intoxication. DR.. Beattie
hastily cut the finger open, and admin
istered two quarts of whisky in twenty
minutes laudanum and quinine were
also given in large quantities, and not
withstanding the loss of three half
pints of blood from the finger, the
pulse increased, land Hulse became per-
fectly conscious. He is, after eleven
days, in apparently good health, with
excellent appetite, but as black as any
African in New York. The black is oc-
casionally streaked with blue, purple,
and green, which appear and disappear
alternately.

How Princes Tell Their Love.

1t seems that, at one time, some strip
ling of prince with ample means, and
who knew that the thing had got to be
done up handsomely to produce an i'm
preston, decided to send an Easter egg
to the damsel of his love, who, in this
case, happened to be a princess of the
royal house of Saxony. So he called a
skilfull jeweller to his aid, and the order
was given. The result was an Easter
egg such as had never been seen before,
and has certainly never since been
equalled, which to-day is preserved in
the Green vault. Prince and princess
have passed away, but the ingenious
trinket remains to tell how the scions of
royalty told their love in the days of
old. To the ordinary observer it is an
egg, and nothing more. But close ex-
animation reveals line of separation
which encircles it, and further search
discloses a spring. Touching this, the
egg shell, which proves to be of gold
enamelled to represent shell, open,
and reveals chick, fedged, with every
part counterfeited, but all of gold,
enamelled. Turning the little fellow
over, and touching concealed spring,
the body opens, revealing another egg
of smaller dimensions. This, also of
gold, and also enamelled, opens like the
first and now We come to the kernel of
the whole affair, an elegant solitaire

beauty and clearness of water, and
worth small fortune in itself. The
writer's memory of genealogical facts
is not so strong, and as the earlier edi-
tions of the Almanach de Gotha are not
at hand, he cannot say whether the lady
accepted her princely sutton, but it is
very certain that she accepted the egg,
for it is still in the strong rooms of the
house of Saxony, curious and costly

Summer Beverages.

If ice water is used, it should be be-
tween meals, with an interval Of few
seconds after the first swallow or two.
This is always safe, and too much can
not be drank without forcing. Half a
glass drank thus, will satisfy more than
pint if drank continuously, and with
out the unpleasant sensation of fullness
accompanying large potations. 1t is
more healthful, and far better, to take
a cup of hot drink at meals than a glass
of ice water ; the latter has often given
dangerous, and even fatal chills. Nc
one is injured by cup of hot tea. Il
a person sits down to meal on a hot
day-weak and tired, and hungry and
thirsty, n glass of ice water will have
delicious taste; but it endangers ar
ugly chill while a cup Of tea is abso'
lutely reviving and invigorating, raising
the spirits and preparing the stomach
for the reception of a hearty meal

The Vital Drain,

lis necessary to the health Of the body that its
exhausted and refused particles should be carried
OF by the excretory organs and it 10 equally neces-
sary that the waste matter thus expelled should be
replaced by new elements derived from digested
and assmilated food. tits evident therefore, that
good digestion and perfect assimilation are essen
tial to bodily vigor and 1t is because Hostetters
Stomach Btters powerfully assist these processes,
that it is regarded by the intelligent classes whose
opinions are founded on observation, as the only
absolute specific for dyspepsia and its attendant
ills, at present known. When the system, either
from constitutional causes, overwork, excess,
anxiety or actual disease is In an unnaturally re-
laxed condition, some thing more than It's exhaust
ed particles passes through the pores. Vitality
leaks through these ventages. Elements which
should remain in the blood and enrich II are
evolved, and that fluid becomes then watery and
incapable OF removing the solids Of the body rs fast
as they decay. The consequences are emaciation,
debility nervousness, loss efspirits and general,
or perhaps rapid, decline Of all powers Of life. 1t
is in cases like this that the restorative properties
Of Hostetter's Bitters are most conspicuous. The
frst two or three doses sometimes produce a
change in the feelings and aspect Of the invalid
that is perfectly astonishing, and by persevering
use Of this supsrlative vegetable tonic and altera
strength reinstated, the flesh restored, the consti
tuition reinforced, and the brain relieved Uf the

Look Ont for HOrSe.ThieYes.

Our rural friends are advised to keep
sharp watch on all stragglers and
strangers offering horses for sale. Chi
cago and her suburbs are infested with
these villainous pests, who make nightly
raids on the stables in and around the
city. Many valuable equines have
turned up missing lately. 1t is the prac-
tice of the thieves to run them into the
agricultural districts and dispose of them
to unsuspecting farmers, who are only
too willing to buy because an apparent
ly cheap bargain is offered, which in too
many instances proves to be no bargain
at all, for very frequently the stolen
animal is traced and recovered, and the
purchaser has to whistle for the money
he has paid to the thief. Farmers in
the country cannot be too careful.

A PHYSICIAN WHO HEALED HIMSELF
If railroad director were lashed to
every locomotive, there would be fewer
railroad accidents. and if doctors had
to take their own physic before admin
istering it to their patients, fewer peo-
pie would be poisoned. DR.. Joseph
Walker, of California, took this course
when he first compounded the famous
Vinegar Bitters, which now ranks rs an
estimable household remedy in all parts
of the United States. He healed him
self with this specific before he offered
it to the world. He introduced it with
q simple. statement of the manner in
which he had discovered its vegetable
ingredients and been cured, while wan
dering, sick and poor, among the Cali
fornia tribes. He stated what the
preparation had done for himself and a
few others from dyspepsia, biliousness,
rheumatism, lung diseases, and many
other prevalent disorders, believed him,
tried the new restorative, and were
more than satisfied with the results.
In this way the sale of Vinegar Bitters
began, and we mention the fact as an
evidence that in this age of intelligence
and inquiry, nothing that is really val
liable to mankind can prove pecuniary
failure-even though it may lack the
help of capital, and have to fight its
way against powerful opposing inter-
ests. Within two or three months after
its introduction, the article became self
supporting, and it now yields a mag
nifcent annual revenue.-COn1.

What Manufacturing Does.

There is many city and town that
will appreciate the following: One
mandatory employing a hundred men
will support an additional 500 people.
Three hundred families will disburse
annually on an average, $500, or$75, 900
in the aggregate. This money will be
drawn into the town from the outside,
where the manufactured goods are con-
sumed, and the interest of this SIS, 900
at 10 pr cent. would be $500. These
hundred families, too, would require a
hundred houses, thousands of pounds
of agricultural produce, and thousands
of yards of cotton and woolen goods,
thus giving health and impetus to every
branch of industry.

The Canada Pacific Railway.

The Board Of Directors at Montreal
have accepted the terms of Sir Hugh
Allen for the construction of the Canada
Pacific Railway. Assuming that this
contract means business, we shall have
within few years four trans-continen-
tai railroads north of our Mexican boun-
dary-the Canadian, and our Northern.
Union Central, and Southern Pacific
roads. And there will be scope and
verge enough for them all, for each of
these lines is so far separated from the
next that each will have great section
of the country to itself between the lon
gitudinal line of the Mississippi River
and the Pacific Ocean, and each will
have it's own settlements and trade to
build up en- route and some advantages
of its own on tie Pacific Coast.
The Union Central Pacific, the pio-
neer line, is doing a business which
ought to pay handsomely; the Northern
Pacific, on the eastern division, is in
operation to Bismarck, far up the Mis-
souri, River, and on the western side it
is making good headway. The South
ern Pacific, upon which they are at
work actively, will probably be finished
before the Northern Pacific, or within
the next three years. The Canadian
road-well, we must wait till they &C
tually break ground upon it before we
can enter into any conjectures as to the
probable time Of its completion. We
have no doubt, however, that Sir Hugh
Allen is in earnest and means to build
the road

Walworth,s Departure for Sing Sing.

Early in the morning Sheriff Bren-
nan proceeded to the Tombs and in
formed young Walworth, convicted of
murder in the second degree and SEN
fenced to imprisonment for life, that he
must prepare for his removal to Sing
Sing. The convict's mother and grand
mother with his younger brother had
visited the Tombs previous to the ar
rival of the Sheriff and had already bid
den him farewell. There was no
special emotion manifested by either
Walworth or his relatives, his mother
and himself maintaining the same un-
moved demeanor that they have pre-
served since the committal of the crime.
There is probably latent hope on the
part of both that the term of imprison-
nent may be shortened by the interpo-
sition of the Executive, butat all events
the parting was not what would have
been expected of such near relations
bidding each other q lifelong adieu.
A carriage had been provided by Wal
worth's relations that be might go to
the station like gentleman and not
ride In the prison van as common
criminal, but the Sheriff refused to
permit any such distinction, to be made
between Walworth and the other Grim
inals, and had the boy murderer chained
to the wife-murderer GiQen, who also
goes to Sing Sing for life. Allen the
burglar, and Greenfield, convicted of
grand larceny, were brought out from
their cells, chained together, and seated
in the van with Walworth and Gillen,
The load of sin was made up by the ad-
dition of four others of lesser note, SEN
fenced to various terms of imprison-
ment, and then the doors were barred
and bolted and the van driven off to
the Forty-seeond street depot A large
basket Of flowers had been brought to
the prison by some lady friends of the
convict but he was not permitted to
receive them, and they we've taken in
charge by his mother, who, with his
other relatives, entered the carriage
they had designed for him and followed
the prison van to the depot. A large
crowd had collected in and around the
depot, drawn thither from curiosity to
see the departure Of the parrioide for
his lifelong country residence, and the
officers had great difficulty in forcing
their way through to the car, and even
after the party was seated in the car
the crowd pressed eagerly round it to
catch alast glance at the party within.
