perfect delineation Of her present state.
Nothing was more hazardous than such 4
sweeping and particular prophecy against

that she should be utterly ruined, PaIae
Tyrus, which was the city on the main.
land, Is utterly blotied out, and the place
OF 1t known no more Tyre, which was
on the island, isnow an Insignificant place,
connected with the mainland by causeway
made by Alexander the great. Most of
the magnificent city is lying waste, with
remains Of beautiful marble columns scat
tered over it, and / even saw nets hung
along by the sea drying where once rose
her massive temples and ,salIs---a literal
falhllment Of Ezekiel 26l4. Sidon Is
one Of the Oldest cities Of the world, being
mentioned in the 10th chapter Of Genesis.
It has been famous in history almost from
the time Of the food. 1t has been the
rival Of Tyre and Troy, and has survived
them both. Its massive castles and forti-
fications, built by the Crusaders, show It's
importance during the stormy days Of their
rule It is beautifully sitnated on pro-
montory, and is surrounded by beautiful
gardens and orchards Of oranges, lemons,
mulberries and figs, all well watered by
streams from Lebanon. Il is noted for
its fine fruit. The whole air for miles
around is perfumed with the orange groves.

most detestable road, where horse can
scarcely walk. The traveller halls with
joy the pine groves which gil the suburbs

we leave Syria and the Holy Land with as
much delight as We entered ii.
"Tent life in the Holy Land" has some
thing charming about it to persons at a
distance-some enthusiastic, writer's have
made 1t almost poetic. But there is stern
reality about it which all travellers should
know. Il is attended with great exposure
and hardship which none but those in ro-
bust health shonld risk. The food, water,
and cooking are often bad There Is great
irregalarity in eating. You are exposed
to the sun in the day, and have chilly
nights, often sleeping in wet tents and
damp beds. You must often travel late at
night in a malarious country. In case of
sickness you are utterly helpless in an Arab
town Of mud huts. No hotel, no medicine,
no food that you can eat, the country nm
healthy about you. Anxiety to get on in
duces you to travel when you are unable
SO 70 do. With all this exposure any one
may be thankful IL they leave tent life in
the Holy Land without the dysentery or
Syrian fever Every year some ten or
twelve American and English travellers
die from diseases contracted there. | tell
these truths to deter persons in feeble
health from incnrring these great risks

WESTMINSTER, MD. SATURDAY, JULY 49, 1873.

PLEASE forgive me this time, and III
never do it again, she said; and then the
laugh dimpled her cheek, danced in her
eyes, and rippled out clear and sweet upon
the air.
oh, Charlie Charlie | knew you
never thought of Aunt Jessies money"
And you" said Charlie, holding her
off at arms length, "you can have it all if
you give me up"
As If | loved money better than you"
said Jessie, nesting now in the strong
arms wrapped closely around her.
1t seemed, however, as if Charlie was
actually afraid Of the money that was so
temptingly near Jessie's grasp, for he
commenced series of interviews that bore
entirely upon the subject of an immediate
marriage.
What is there to wait for q he would
ask, and then enter upon calculations of
his present expenses and those of the fu-
ture, proving most conclusively that there
was decided saving for both in uniting
their incomes.
You remind me" said Jessie, " of the
Dutchman who said he could almost sup
port himself alone, and it was pity if
two of them could not do it entirely"
But though she laughed at him, Jessie
was quite willing to admit the force Of his
reasoning, and one bright June morning,
six months after Aunt Jessie death, there
was quiet wedding in the village church,
and breakfast in the cottage for few
chosen friends Among these was Aunt
Jessies lawyer, for the will stipulated that
the sealed codicil was to be opened at Jes-
sizes wedding if she preferred love to
money.
The bride was little paler than usual
when, with solemn face, the New York
lawyer broke the big red seal. Visions of
John Garland holding drunken revels in
her aunts house fitted across her mind,
and then she looked into Charles face,
and over her own crept an expression Of
perfect content.
The will was opened and found to con-
tain only letter directed to Jessie, and
short, legally worded formula, making her
self and her chosen husband joint inheri-
tors of her aunt's fortune. Truly, the
bride opened the letter from the dead.
With loving words Aunt Jessie blessed
her, and wished her happiness.
"I do not" she wrote, "approve of the
money power in a family being entirely in
the hands of woman; therefore, you will
find, dear Jessie, that half of my fortune
only is yours, the remaining half to 60 to
the husband who has proved that he loved
you for your own sweet self, not for your
fortune"
During the wedding tour Of the young
couple, Mrs. Markham, at their earnest
solicitation, took an affectionate farewell
of her pupils, and removed her household
treasures to the New York mansion, to
which, in due time, came Charlie and Jes-
sic to brighten the long silent rooms with
their happiness, and establish that loving
circle that makes home of any house, how
ever grand, or however humble.

Cure for the Bite of a Mad Dog.

The Belair, Md, Egis and Iatelligen-
Ger says; For the benefit Of our readers,
We republish the following recipe, for the
cure Of the bite of a mad dog. 1t was
handed to us by subscriber who had
himself been bitten and was cured by the
use Of this remedy. He has since given
the recipe to persons similarly bitten and
where the directions have been followed it
has never failed. 1t is worth preserving
in some place where it can readily be found
in an emergency ofthe character indicated;
A tea made of skullcap (scutalaria) to
be given as follows, morning and evening
before eating: For an adult 3 gills; child
of 8 years, II gill, and child of 8 years
l gill; to be given two days successfully,
and on the third day omit and give instead
a sufficient portion of birthstone to purge
the patient. The feet must be kept dry
use no spirituous liquors, salt, or anything
of a greasy nature. Continue the treat
ment for forty days.

DR. Derby states that the average time
occupied in the process Of taking food BY
the people Of Massachusetts, does not ex-
ceed from twelve to fifteen minutes to each
meal Such haste is injurious to health
for many reasons. The process Of diges-
tion begins in the mouth with the action
of the teeth, and through excitement of
the salivary glands by the presence Of food.
Unless saliva is abundantly mingled with
the latter, the first act of digestion is OBJ
structed and Natures plan is changed.
This fluid not only lubricates but acts
chemically in the mouth, # reasonable
time be given it, upon all the starchy ele-
ments which make up the great bulk Of
what we eat. Eating in haste, a great deal
of air is swallowed Air Is to certain
extent always entangled in the saliva and
assists digestion, but when " wads' of food
succeed each other very rapidly, they seem
to act like pistons in the tube leading from
the back of the throat, and drive before
and between them into the stomach such
amounts of air as to distend that organ and
impede its functions Another effect Of
eating in this way is that the masses of
food, imperfectly mixed with saliva, be-
come impacted in the esophagus, check
ing its muscular action, which is obviously
intended to propel only one piece at time.
This embarrassment is overcome by tax.
ing at one gulp as much fluid as the mouth
will hold, thus distending the elastice tube
and washing the obstructed food into the
stomach. All this is unnatural and can
hardly fail to work mischief.

CHARITY.

Think gently OF the erringl
We know not Of the power
With which the dark temptation came
In some unguarded hour.
We may not know how earnestly
They struggled, or how well,
Until the hour Of weakness came
And sadly thus they fell.
Deal gently with the erringl
o, do not forget,
However darkly stained by sin,
He is thy brother yet.
Heir Of the self.same heritage
Child Of the self-same God
He hath but stumbled in the path
Thou hast in weakness trodi
Speak gently to the erringl
For is it not enough
That peace and innocence are gone,
Without your censure rough 7
IL sure must be a weary lot
That sin-cursed heart to bear,
And they who share a happier fate
Their chidings well may spare.
Speak kindly to the erringl
Thou yet mays lead them back
With holy words and tones of love
From misery's thorny track
Forget not thou hast often sinned,
And sinful yet may be,
Deal gently with the erring one
As God has dealt with thee.

Too LATE.-Some people are always
too late, and therefore accomplish through
life nothing worth naming Ifthey promise
to meet you at such an hour, they are new
er present until thirty minutes after. No
matter how important the business is to
either yourself or to him, he is just as tar
dy. Ifhe take a passage at the steamboat,
he arrives Just as the boat has left the
wharf, and the train has started few min
utes before he arrives. His dinner has
been waiting for him so long that the cook
is out of patience. This course the char
acter we have described always pursues.
He is never in season at church, ut a
place Of business, at his meals, or in his
bed. Persons of such habits we cannot
but despise. Always in season, and be
ready at the appointed hour. We would
not give fig for man who is not pune
tual to his engagements, and who never
makes up his mind to a certain course till
the time is lost. Those who hang back,
hesitate and tremble-who are never at
hand for journey, trade, sweetheart or
anything else-are poor sloths, and are i'll
calculated to get living in this stirring
world,

ONLY A STEP.

Only step to the other side,
Only a step TO the shining shore;
Out Of the darkness into the light,
o, how wish was there tonight
Safe in that heaven forever more.
Only step to the other side,
Angels are waiting for me, know
Strains OF sweet music seem TO hear;
Surely my steps must be drawing near,
Near TO the land where | long to go.
Only step where my loved ones are,
Free from all sorrow, and pain and care,
Oi I've been waiting so long for this
That the hand of death gladly kiss,
So that meet with my loved again.
Only step to the other side,
Where all my joys will be made complete;
Only step from this world of sin;
Jesus ] know will then let me in,
Humbly to fall at his loving feet.

What Men Need Wives For.

1t is not to sweep the house, and make
the beds, and darn the socks, and cook
the meals, chiefly that man wants wife.
If this is all, when a young man calls to
see lady, send him into the pantry to
taste the bread and cakes she has made !;
send him to inspect the needlework and
bedmaking; or put broom into her hands
and send him to witness its use. Such
things are important, and the wise young
man will quietly look after them.
But what the true man most wants Of
true wife is her companionship, sympathy,
courage, and love. The way of life has
many dreary places in it and man needs a
companion to go with him. A man is
sometimes overtaken with misfortunes; he
meets with failure and defeat; trials and
temptations beset him; and he needs one
to stand by and sympathizc.
He has some stern battles to fight with
poverty, with enemies and with sin; and
he needs woman that, while he puts his
arms around her and feels that he has
something to fight for, win help him fight;
that will put her lips to his ear and whis-
per words Of counsel, and her hand to his
heart and impart new inspirations. All
through life-through storm and through
sunshine, conflict aud victory, through ad-
verse and favoring winds, man needs
woman's love. The heart yearns for it.
A sisters or a mothers love will hardly
supply the need.
Yet many seek for nothing further than
success in housework. Justly enough,
half of those get nothing more the other
half, surprised above measure, have gotten
more than they sought. Their wives sur
prised them by bringing nobler idea of
marriage, and disclosinga treasury of cour-
age, sympathy and love.
