Love the Bible.

If we love the Bible as we ought,
it is dearer TO us than life, nearer to
us than any of our relations, sweet
er to us than our liberty, and more
pleasant than all earthly comforts.
All arguments against the word OF
God are fallacies, all conceits
against it delusions, all derisions
against it blasphemy, and all oppo-
sitions against it madness. We
speak of God in prayer; He speaks
to us in His word. We should take
the candle of Gods word and search
the corner of our hearts.

Painting People.

There are some observations In
the Lancet which might be studied
with advantage by police consta-
bles. Referring to a case which
lately occurred in New York, in
which death speedily followed the
contraction of teeth after an inef-
fectual endeavor to administer nj
trous oxide gas, the Lancet main
tains that had the patient, who had
tainted from terror, been laid fiat
on the floor instead of being kept
in an upright position, she would
probably have recovered in few
minutes and it then points out the
danger of syncope by the erect pos
ture, instancing the case of poor
woman who lately tainted on an
English race-course, and, having
been placed by a policeman in
sitting posture, was only saved from
death Ivy the accident of a doctor
happening TO pass Ivy at the mo-
ment and laying her down until she
recovered.

Mr.. H resides in Fourth ST.,

the door. "Is madam within y

"You dying for my wife Get ont

the Honest artisan into the street
as the lady made her appearance,
and set the matter to right.

Never he sorry for any generous
thing that you ever did, even if it
was betrayed. Never be sorry that
you were magnanimous, if the man
was mean afterwards. Never be
sorry that you gave. 1t was light
for you to give, even II you were
imposed upon. You had better,
many times in your life, for the
sake of keeping yourself in prac-
tice of benevolence, do things that
are questionable, rather than judge
so narrowly that you will always be
on the side of cold calculation
Give Your heart some Roadway, and
in the long run it will be safer fol
you.

Envy.

Envy is one Of the most dispisa-
he of fashions. There is scarcely
crime 10 which it will not lead its
victims. 1t was envy that robbed
the poor Naboth of his vineyard,
and added murder to the theft. 1t
was envy that led the guilty Absa-
lom to desire the throne of his
father David. 1t destroys all that
is best and noblest in character.
So subtitle is it in its workings,
that we learn on the highest testi-
mony that Envy is rottenness OF
the bones;" it cuts out all honor
and manliness; it gives sleepless
nights and restless days. Morrow
er, envy is utterly useless; it helps
nobody, it effects no alterations, it
wins no goal. AS we read in Job,
'it slayeth the silly one;' and all
sensible people must feel that there
is marvellous Stiffness in envy.

How transient and ephemeral are
jeys of earth! They. soon pass
away leaving no abiding solace to
the heart. But the joys Of heaven
fade not-are ever permanent and
constantly refresh the soul. What
q powerful incentive to urge US to
seek enduring joys, having no in
terruption
Heaven is a reality, its attrac-
tions should be felt every hour, far
more powerful than earth's night
est magnet. How we love to think
of that happy land where the ling
ering hopes of earth will be fully
realized! "Here we have no con-
tinuing city, but we seek one to
come"-an abiding habitation, from
which well ne'er depart. We
should constantly mediate on its
delights. In 80 doing yearning
thirst will I've created for heavens
inviting joys. Were there land
on earth where every good that can
come within the range of human
desire, and where none of the life
invade which contribute so largely
toward making ZIP the measures OF
human life, what an untiling rush
would there be to that land But
how much greater are the attrac-
tons Of heaven Its streets of
gold, its flowing river, its purity OF
Joy, its identifying plains o, how
eagerly should we grasp for its un-
fading glories, and how ardently
should we strive to "gain the LAND
that's afar off I"
Heaven is O sun-brighc cline
no clouds vail the sky, no storm:
arise, no wintery seasons are there
"They need not the light of the
sun, for the Lord God is the ligh'
thereof" There sickness is un
known. The Bible informs US tina
the inhabitants are never sick
they know not pain, no shrivelet
forms or furrowed cheeks, but al
bloom in immortal youth, and the
years of eternity sweep on with
buoyant power. In view of 80
much JOY meeting the blest in
heaven, shall We not improve on the
feeting moments as they fly, Sc
cure the favor and friendship OF
God. that we may finally reign
where there will be no interruption
of our union.

Castor Oil as % Leather Pre-
Scrvafiyc.

A correspondent of the German
town Telegraph, who says he has
tested all the patented preparations
and popular receipts for preserving
leather, prefers castor oil to all of
them. He adds: ave have had
boots year old that we have oiled
with it, and the leather was soft,
smooth ard water pro, + to the last
time they were used. We apply it
clear, without heat. A little lamp
black might be used on old leather,
but is seldom necessary on new, as
the oil itself seems to keep the
backing on, and renders the leath-
err black and Of fine appearance,
Those who have been annoyed with
hard, cracked, water-soaked boots
the surface of the latter rough
without backing, and the leather
shrunken and wrinkled, so as Il
chat, gall and otherwise punish the
feet, viii find castor oil, well appli-
ed, to be satisfactory. We have
used 1t for wagons and buggies,
and find It is in every way superb
or. 1t win wear longer, lubricate
better, and 10 less Objectionable

A Wonderful Cave.

In the range of mountains in
Western North Carolina, known as
the Fork Range most singular
phenomenon exists. 1t is a
"breathing cave" In the summer
months a current Of air comes from
it so strongly that a person cannot
walk against it, while in the winter
the suction is just as great. The
cookair from the mountain is felt
for miles in i direct line from the
mouth of the cave. At times n
most unpleasant odor is emitted up
on the current from dead carcasses
of animals sucked in and killed by
the violence. The loss OF cattle
and stock in that section in winter
is accounted for in this way. The.
range too near the mouth of tn
cave, and the current carries then
in. At times, when the chang
from inhalation to exhalation be
gins, the air is filed with variou
hairs. Of animals. Not unfrequent
" bones and whole carcasses ar
found miles FROM the place. TIL
air has been known 10 change ma
tciially during exhalation, froi
quite cool to unpleisantly no
whitening vegetation within reacl
and accompanied Ivy terrible, roal
ing, gurgling sound, as a pot boi
ing. 1t is unaccounted for by Sc
entifc men who have examined i
though no exploration can TAX
place. 1t is {, AIRED by many that
volcanic eruption may break fort
there some time.

A Christmas Deer Chase

PLAN OF HUNT Ar NEWPORT oE
BY THE 4. p. q. A., WHO THREATEN TO MAKE IT A
DEAR UNDERTAKING.
Grant deer out Delaware Avenue, having vicious
ly attacked it's keeper had been sold to some
sporting gentlemen of this city, who intended to
have a deer chase on Christmas morning. Ar
rangements have been made for letting the ami
NAL at liberty at Newport, and after the lapse of
half hour all anxious to join in the fun are to
enter into the chase, either on horse or on foot,
with dog or gun and capture the deer dead or
alive. For this purpose considerable fund has
been raised by charging 80 cents for each per-
son desirous OF participating in the chase, the
fund thus raised to be applied to the purchase
Of coal for the poor, and already we are in
formed that enough has been raised to purchase
several tons. Although any person is allowed
to engage i'll the chase, none but one OF those
paying the regular fee will be allowed to retain
possession of the deer either dead or alive.
This programme, however, has been material
ly interfered with by notice from prominent
member of the s. p. q. A, that those engaging
in such sport, and especially the ladies', may ex-
poet to be prosecuted under the provisions of
interference has fallen like q bomb shell
amongst the fun-seekers, and while many of
them are for carrying out the programme, others
feel weak in the knees and would not care where
the deer was, 30 that it was out of their hands.
This is the way the case now stands, and
should the chase come on as some are deter
mined that it SHALL it is altogether probable that
80 cents will be but small moiety Of the costa
for the fun.

To The Editor of aie Commercial
| do not blame the agents who sell sowing
machines for their way Of doing business. They
are indeed, very enterprlsing, as is shown by
one who offers, as see in your columns, TO give
barrel of -four and a ton Of coal to each pur-
ciiaser of machine during the holidays, (the
same az the Philadelphia agent to whom you al
luded, the other day, in your edltorial.) But the
bottom facts in the case are the prices the man
ufacturers put on the machines compared with
the cost Of making them | know exactly about
this. was with one of the leading companies a
few years ago, and I then learned the
facts, which l have since fully veri-
hed. That Company then made a 'cheap"
machine and sold It at SI5 which cost first S7.50
to manufacture entire table aud all complete !
The discounts to agents were of course large
usually thirty-hve per cent, and sometimes as
high as fifty. Machines that are sold at $50
cost from $40 to $12 so. Remember that the bulk
VI the concern is cast iron and that all the other
parts are made very rapidly and cheaply by ma
chine.y constructed for the purpose, and you
will see how it liz quite possible to make them at
so small cost. A
