The wound was dressed, and Mr.
Raymond experienced no serious in
convenience from it until last Tues
day About noon of that day he
became sick AZ his place of business,
Maiden lane aud Walter streets
He discovered an obstruction in his
breathing, and had severe pains in
the head. For time he was un.
willing to believe that anything Sc
rious allied him, but he vas COMPEL
ed to quit his work and go home,
where he arrived at o'clock. He
sent for a physician, who decided
that the a:lmeut was congestion OF

worse, and his symptoms could not
be accounted for on the hypothesis

and the doctor was then satisfied
that he had case Of hydrophobia to
treat. This conclusion received a
fearful confirmation about | 2 o'clock.
Mr.. Raymond had then a terrible
paroxysm, lasting more than an
hour, in which he frothed at the
mouth, expressed the greatest horror
at everything liquid, and required
the services of six strong men to
prevent his harming himself or 9th

and injected morphine empidemical-

three hours before life was extinct
he was comparatively calm. After
midnight an Episcopal minister bap-
tised him and administered tue sac>
rament, the dying man being able
to make proper responses. Ills last
moments were quite peaceful. =

PERSUASION VS.. FORCE.

Deal gently with those who stray
Draw them back by . love and per-
suasion. A kiss is worth thousand
kicks. A kind word is more valua-
BILE to the lost than a mint Of gold.
Think Of this, and be on your guard,
We who would chase to the grave
an erring brother or sister. We
must consult the gentlest manner
aud softest seasons of address; our
advice must not fall like a violent
storm, bearing down and to droop
whom it was meant to cherish and
refresh. 1t must descend as the
dew upon the tender herb, or like
melting flakes of snow; the softer it
falls the longer it dwells upon and
the deeper it sinks into the mind
If tears are few who have the hui
mility to receive advice as they
ought, it is often because they are
few who have discretion to convey
it in the proper way: and who can
qualify the harshness and bitterness
Of reproof, against which human ma
ture is apt to revolt. To probe the
wound to the bottom, with all the
boldness and resolution of a good
spiritual surgeon, and yet with all
the delicacy and tenderness of a
friend requires very dexterous and
mastery hand. An affable deport>
ment and complacency of behavior
will disarm the most obstinate
whereas, if instead of calmly point
ing out their mistakes, we break out
in unseemly sallies of passion, we
cease to have any influence.
