A Modern PHgmaIion.

The Droit relates that man has just
died in the Bicetre Asylum whose luna
cy had a very singular origin. His
name was Justin, and he exhibited wax
work figures at Montrouge, his gallery
consisting of temporary celebrities
and great criminals. On pedestal in
the center was the figure of a young
girl remarkable for her graceful figure
and perfect features, her hair falling in
long curls over her naked shoulders.
Justin had named her Eliza, and was so
struck by her beauty that he passed
hours in contemplating her. She seemed
to him to speak, and her blue eyes,
with their long eyelashes, seemed to
respond 10 his passion. Under the in
fuence of this illusion he neglected his
business, and for want of a Snowman
to puff it people no longer visited the
gallery. Poverty succeeded easy cir
cumstances the modern Pygmalion
could not separate himself from Eliza.
His wife was obliged to sleep on bare
mattress, and when she demonstrated he
ill-treated her. Irritated at the unjust
harshness, she one day destroyed the
wax figure. Justin was furious at see-
ing the fragments, and selzing broom
stick he struck his wife, and would have
killed her had not her cries drawn the
neighbors to her assistance. Justin,
who had lost his reason, had to be SO.
cured, and was an inmate of Bicetre fol
five years, living up to the last under
the charm of Eliza, whose image seemed
always before him.

SpurgeOn on Smoking.

Mr.. Spurgeon has addressed a letter
to the papers on account of it having
been stated that that on recent Sun
day evening. when a minister in his
chapel had condemned smoking, he
rose after the sermon, and expressed
his dissent from the preacher, adding
that it was possible to "smoke to the
glory of God" and that he hoped to
enjoy a cigar that evening before he
went to bed. Mr.. Spurgeon says tt I
demur altogether, and most positively,
to the statement that to smoke tobacco
is in itself a sin. It may become SO, as
any other Indifferent action may, but as
an action it is no sin. Together with
hundreds of thousands of my fellow
Christians, I have smoked, and with
them 1 am under the condemnation OF
living in habitual sin, if certain accus-
ers are to be believed. As I would not
knowingly live even in the smallest
violation of the law of God, and the sin
in the transsression of the law, Will
not own to sin when I am not conscious
of it. There is growing up in society
pharisaic system which adds to the
commands of God the precepts of men j;
to that system I will not yield for an
hour. The preservation of my liberty
may bring upon me the upbraidings of
many of the good and the sneers of the
self-righteous but I shall endure both
with serenity so long as I feel clear in
my conscience before God. The ex-
preston smoking to the glory of God
standing alone has an i'll sound, and I
do not justify it; but in the sense in
which employed it I still stand to it.
No Christian should do anything in
which he cannot glorify God-and this
may be done, according to Scripture, in
eating and drinking and the common
notions of life. When I have found in
tense pain relieved, weary brain
soothed, and calm, refreshing sleep OBJ
tanned by a cigar, have felt grateful to
God and have blessed his name this is
what meant, and by no means did use
sacred words trlhinely. If through
smoking had wasted an hour of my
time-if 1 had stinted my gifts to the
poor-if I had rendered my mind less
vigorous-I trust should see my fault
and turn from it ; but he who charges
me with these things shall have no an
swer but my forgiveness. I am told
that my open avowal will lessen my in
fuence, and my reply is that if have
gained any influence through being
thought different from what I am, I
have no wish to retain it. I will do
nothing upon the sly, and nothing
about which I have doubt.

Lime Water for Burns.

A correspondent of the New York
San writes to that journal that the
readiest and most useful remedy for
scalds and burns is an embrocation of
hmewater and hnseed oil. These sim
pie agents combined form a thick,
cream-hke substance, which effectually
excludes the air from the injured parts,
and allays the inflammation almost in
stantly. He mentions case where a
child fell backward into bath-tub of
boiling water, and was nearly fayed
from her neck to below her hips. Her
agonies were indescribable but her
clothing being gently removed, and the
lime and ell preparation quickly spread
over the injured surface, she was sound
asleep in five minutes. Subsequently
the parts were carefully washed with
warm milk and water three times day,
the oil dressing renewed, and the little
patient rapidly recovered. Though all
the scalded skin came off, she did net
have a scar. This remedy leaves no
hard coat or dry on the sores, but soft
ems the parts, and aids nature to repair
the injury in the readiest and most ex-
peditious manner.

Live Stock and Population.

Prof. Thorold Rogers, of Oxford Uni
versity, England, has made up curious
return of the proportion of dnmesticated
live stock to population in the most
prominent countries III the world. It
shows the following results Great
Britain has one COW to every twelve per-
sons, a sheep for everybody, ard one pig
for every six.
France has like proportion of sheep,
double share, comparatively, of COWS,
but only one pig to six persons.
The Swedes have a COW between three
and one-haf of them, sheep between
two and three-quarters, and a pig to a
bakers dozen.
There are as many sheep as there are
Norwegians in Norway, when they are
all at home, and two and one-half of
them-the Norwegians-are entitled to
COW. They can have only one
eighteenth of pig each.
Denmark has a COW for three persons,
as many sheep as persons, and a pig for
four and three-quarters pert ons.
Prussia, with her usual uniformity,
has an equal number of cows and pigs,
one to every five inhabitants, besides a
sheep apiece all round.
Wurtemberg has a quarter as many
COWS as people, sheep to two and
three-quarters and pig to seven.
Bavaria rates the same as Wrurtem-
berg, as to cows and sheep, and is as
much better off for pigs as one-fifth is
better than one-seventh.
Saxony has a sheep and a pig for
every eight persons, and a COW for
every six.
Holland has COW to four, sheep to
four, and pig to twelve persons.
Belgium, COW to six, a sheep to
nine, and a pig to eight (Which is a
Hibernicism.)
Austria has a cow to six persons, and
a sheep and pig to every five.
Switzerland runs up to the Swedish
standard on COWS, one to three and one
half persons, and has sheep for five
and a pig for seven and one-half per-
sons.
We Americans close the list with q
COW for every four of us, sheep apiece,
one pig to every one and one-half.
