The Bible.

Oh, friends, if there is one great thing
in this world, it is the Bible of God; great
in thought, crest in promise, great in beau
ty, great in purpose, great in power, great
in results! 1t hangs as by golden cord
from the throne of the Highest, and all
heavens light, life, love, and sweetness
come down into it for us. 1t hangs there
Ike celestial harp; the daughters of sor-
row tune it, and awake strain of consoia-
ton! The hand of joy strikes it, and feels
diviner note of gladness. The sinner
comes to it, and it discourses to him of re-
pentance and salvation. The saint bends
an ear to Il, and then it talks TO him of an
intercessor and an immortal kingdom. The
dying man lays his trembling hand on it,
and there steals thence into his soul the
promise, ''Lo, am with you always, even
unto the end of the world" when thou
passest through the waters, they shall not
overflow thee, and through the fires thou
shalt not be burned" '1Be of good cheer !;
I have overcome the world" ''The last
enemy that shall be destroyed is death. ;
'sThis mortal shall put on Immortality, and
this eorruptible shall put on iacorruptble,
and death shall be swallowed up in VIC
tory" Where is promise, where is philoso-
ply, where is song like this? Magnify the
word Of God.-GE. E. Adams

L. On the first appearance of the
disease, the patient should be placed
in a separate apartment, as near the
top of the house as possible, from
which curtains, carpets, bedrhang-
ings and other needless articles of
furniture should be removed, and no
person except the medical attendant
and the nurses or mother sc permit
ted to enter the room.
2. A basin containing a solution of
chloride of lime, or carbohe acid,
should be placed near the bed for the
patient to spit in.
8. Handkerchiefs not to be used,
but pieces of rag employed instead,
for wiping the nose Of the patient.
Each piece, after being used, should
be Immediately burned.
A plentiful supply of water and
towels should be kept for the use of
the nurse, whose hands, of necessity,
will be soiled by the secretions of the
patient In one hand basin the wa
ter should be impregnated with Con-
dy's fluid of chloride, by which the
faint on the hands may at once be
removed
5. Outside the door Of the sick room
sheet should be suspended SO as to
cover the entire doorway; this should
be kept constantly wet with solu-
ton of lime. The effect Of this viii
be to keep every other part of the
house free from infection.
6. The discharge of the bowels and
kidneys of the patient should be re-
ceived into vessels charged with dis
infectants, such as the solution of
carboEc acid or chloride of lime, and
Immediately removed By these means
the poison thrown off from internal
surfaces may be rendered inert, and
deprived of the power of propagating
disease.
7. The thin skin or cutiele, which
peels off from the hands, face and
other parts of the body, in GONZALES
cent patients, is highly contagious.
Baths should be continued every day,
for four times, when the disinfection
of the skin may be regarded as COM
plete. This, however, should not be
done without first consulting the
medical attendant.

A Fearful Visitor.

The Paris Soir relates the follow
ing story: ga Nine Bonneau, living
in the Rue Descartes, was sitting in
her parlor a few days since, awaiting
her husbands return to dinner, when
o man of wild and haggard appear
ance entered, and, seating himself op-
posite to her, addressed her in the
following terms: 4 am great doc
tor. 1 can effectually cure all head
aches. I have heard that you suffer
from that cause, and 1 am come to
cure you The lady, perceiving that
she had to deal with madman, pru-
IDENTIFY seemed to fall into his humor,
and asked what was his method of
treatment Simple enough, madame
said he, drawing razor from his
pocket. Z cut off the head, and then,
after having well cleaned it, 1 replace
it upon the shoulders.
Upon this he prepared to suit the
action to his words. Nine. Bonneau,
with great GOODNESS, professed her
readiness to submit to the operation,
but suggested that she should fetch
towel from the next room to prevent
her dress being stained Her visitor
assented to the reasonableness of this
suggestion, and she left the room,
locking the door behind her. Upon
her return with some police officers
they found that the unfortunate man
had cut his own throat, but not fatal
l. ly. 1t was ascertained that he had
escaped from lunatic asylum at
Clermont les Pres, and had been
vainly sought for during a whole
month"

Boston College of Music.

Boston, always doing good things,
has just accomplished another. A
college of music has been established
as one of the departments of the uni
versity. This is an important and
noteworthy step toward a higher and
more thorough culture of music in
this country. 1t is the first full pro
fessorship of music that has been es-
tablished in any American college
In England, the degrees of bachelor
and doctor of music were conferred
as early as the sixteenth century at
Oxford and Cambridge. A professor
ship of music was established at Ok
ford in 1926, and at Cambridge in
1649. This Office still exists, and
similar professorships have been estab-
lished in other institutions of learn
ing in Great Britain.
The standard of admission to the
new college is OF high order, and
including a good degree of skill as a
performer OF singer, though knowl-
edge of the elementary principles OF
music, including rythm, dynamics,
the tonal system, transpositions OF
the scales, &c, and sufficient knowl-
edge of harmony to harmonize well
common choral in four parts. The
dean of the faculty is DR.. Eben Tour
jee, who was the superintendent Of
the chorus at the Worlds Peace Jubi-
lee, and among the lectures of the
first college year will be course by
Mr.. John K. Paine on the history
and aesthetics OF music.

What becomes of the $22s, 900, 900 of the
precious metals annually produced in the
world, is a question easy to ask and not
difficult to answer. Of our gold and silver
product eighty per cent. is exported, four
fifths Of which go to India. The exports
Of gold and silver from the United States
during the last twenty-five years has
amounted to ST zoe, 900, ,oe0 The Egyptians,
Hindoos Chinese, and Persians consume
but little of Occidental products, while
their products are in great demand by
Western nations The balance of trade in
favor of those countries is $50, 900, 900 an
nually. A French writer states that the
Egyptians conceal $50, 600, 600 annually of
the precious metals; and the Emperor of
Morocco has filed seventeen large chambers
with gold and silver. The passion for
boarding is shared by the subjects of those
princes; and this is the solution of the alb
sorption of the precious metals This ab-
sorptiOn by the Eastern nations has been
going on since the most remote historical
period. In the time of Augustus (B. c. 63)
the amount of the precious metals alb
stracted from the bullion of the Roman
Empire by traffic with the East was four
millions of dollars per annum. A large
amount of gold and silver is invested in
ornaments in churches in Italy, Russia, and
other countries of Europe. Silver pulpits
and .other sacred ornaments are by no
means uncommon in churches, temples,
pagodas, and tombs throughout the Eastern
hemisphere. In 1857 the export of gold
and silver from Great Britain to the East
was thirty-four millions of pounds ster-
ling. During twenty-nine years Qs41 to
1860 the imports into India of gold and
silver were twelve hundred millions of dol
lars. India has for years been draining
Europe and the United States of bullion,
there to be boarded or converted into orna-
ments, never again to circulate in the coun-
tries from which it was exported.

ings were interesting, a longer time
was spent every Friday afternoon;
and frequently after dinner was eaten,
the remainder of noon was spent.
Now I feel safe in saying, that only
one scholar was really benefited. Let
this question settle the matter: Was
it fair for the entire school to lose
that amount of time for the benefit of
one scholar? Yours, II.

[For the News.
Shall we Know our Friends in
Heaven?

When we stand by the grave ofour
friends the question arises: Shall we
see them again! When the bereaved
mother stands beside the cold grave
that is to receive her little babe, and
looks at it as it is laid down gently
into its resting place, the question
presses upon her heart, Shall 1 see
it again? Shall know it? Shall I
again clasp it in my arms? No con-
ISOLATION would we have when any of
our loved ones died, if it were not for
the hope of seeing them again. This
hope rests in the bosom of every one
who has had loved ones that have
passed cover the river"
We hope to meetand recognize our
friends in heaven. Jesus says,
''There we shall see Abraham, Isaac
and Jacob, and all the prophets in
the Kingdom of God" Spirit shall
recognize spirit. Here soul COM
munes sweetly with soul; how much
more perfectly and sweetly there!
There shall we see as we are seen,
and known as we are known. How
sweet, then, to meet all our former
loved ones there, and all who have
gone before; who have fought the
fight, and kept the faith, and won
the crown of righteousness.
In the 25th of Matthew, the Savior
gives picture of the judgment of the
great day, when men shall be tried;
the great assize of the universe.
The wicked are there told to depart,
while the righteous are invited to
come into the kingdom prepared for

'I was hungry and ye fed me; I was
naked and ye clothed me; I was sick
and in prison and ye visited me-
But they reply, Lord, when saw we
thee in these various conditions and
did minister unto thee? The Lord
turns to the persons that are then
present. and seems to say, Do you
see these? Here are persons you
blessed in your lifetime, and mas
much as you did it. to one of the least
of these my brethren, you did it unto
me. Did they not k'soao these per
sons? Surely they knew.
Shall we know our friends in heav-

In form and features, face and limb,

That folks got taking me for him,
And each for one another.
1t puzzled all our Hth and kin,
Tt reached 4 fearful pitch;
For one of us was born twin,
And not a soul knew which.
One day, to make the matter worse,
Before our names were fixed,
As we were being washed by nurse,
We got completely mixed; -
And thus you see, by fate's decree,
Or rather nurses whim,
Ny brother Jim got christened me,
And got christened him.
This fatal likeness even dogged
My footsteps when at school,
And was always getting hogged
When John turned out fool;

To every one knew,
"What would you do, if you were me,

Our close resemblance turned the tide d

For somehow my intended bride
Became my brothers wife.

Absurd mistakes went OH,
And when died, the neighbors came
And buried brother John.

tain death; but I've nobody depend
ing on me, SO it don't matter much,
nohow" A-aa
"All right" said Tyrrell, with a
quick glance at him. you'll do" he
added; @Get the lights we are to take
the quicker the better" II 4
A couple of lanterns were brought,
and a bucket of water for each of
them, with which to dispel in a meas
ure the poisonous gas. While these
were being provided, Tyrrell heard
an old miner explain the presence of
the foul air. The mine was an old
one, with several long -disused cham
bers-excavations9 which had been
cut off by much such an accident
Though in the former case harnaless)
as the present; and it was evidently |
into one of these that the new exea-
vation led. Nobody had suspected it
until the unguarded strokesof two or
three men had laid bare the danger.
1t certainly was terrible danger
into which Tyrren and his companion
now ventured. They felt it in the
faintness which made them stagger
and reel like drunken men when the
first breath of the mephitic atmos-
phere came over them; and, as they
advanced, it of course grew worse.
"We must be quick, said the young
miner, in a half-stifed voice; 1--WE
can't stand this many minutes" He
set down his lantern hastily, and,
raising his bucket of water with both
hands to a level with his shoulder,
cast the contents in showery dashes
all around and over himself and his
companion; then, dropping the buck
ct, snatched up the light and hurried
forward Fortunately they had but
a few steps to go from the entrance
of the excavation to where Churchill
was lying, face downward, just as he
had been left by the men when they
fed for their lives. 1ga s
"Thank God-here he isl cried |
Tyrren aa /
"Put down your light" exclaimed
the miner, who had already put his
own out of his hand, and, with one
vigorous effort, had turned Hugh |
upon his back. 'Dash your water
over his face-now for i'll" and he
seized Hugh's shoulders, motioning
to Tyrren to assist. Gasping, giddy,
and SO faint that they could scarcely
stand, they half carried, half dragged
him along between them to the open
ing of the excavation. The gases had
by this time been considerably dilut-
ed by the outsid' air finding its way
in; but still the atmosphere was hor-
rible The lights burned dinly, and
both Tyrrell and his companion felt
their strength and consciousness fast
leaving them. As at last they reach
ed the bound of safety-the opening |
in the fallen wall-Tyrre1 staggered,
wavered, and fell heavily forward.
"On-on!" he gasped, as his COM
panion paused. "Dont stop for me-
come back, if you will-but keep on
now-cn!"
His strength had collapsed, but
not SO his power of command. There
was something compelling to obed
ience in the imperious tones; and, ad-
monisned partly by them, partly by
his own increasing faintness, the
young miner kept on.
1t was lucky for Hugh Churchill
that he did SO. Scarcely had he pass
ed the opening when there came an
other heavy fall of earth, closing it
behind him.
