Our Neighb0r,

One of our church societies has
long been wrestling with the ques-
tion, who Is thy neighbour? Some
OF the members incline to the belief
that, in the Seriptural injunction
Love thy neighbor," ;" all are meant;
others contend that they only are our
neighbors who are friendly to Us;
while yet others, of illiberal and con-
tracted views, maintain that one is to
have no neighbors outside the pale of
ones own church. Let them settle it
as they may, the neighbor will be .
neighbor still. We have one of the
right royal sort in our minds eye. He
keeps his chickens up when be makes
garden; he lends US good books, and
borrows ours returns what he bor-
rows-and never ask for those he
loans comes over often and chats,
without telling us his grievances and
troubles or seeking to learn ours;
gives no advice, and asks for none; cares
not whether we have prayers or do
nestle broils; If he thinks our baby
doesn't look like us, he takes no pains
to mark the points of difference on
general matters he expresses his views
boldly, and does not think US blast
ed fool If we do not coincide with
them; he calls on US when we are sick,
and doesn't talk to us of dark, dismal
holes in the ground, or tells US of 4
number Of persons he has known who
exhibited the same symptoms as ours
and finally died after a terrible and
protracted illness; when We die, he
will attend to the funeral arrange
ments, see that no secondhand coffin
is palmed off on US, and tenderly sup
port our grief-strieken widow when
the falling clods send back to her ears
the rattling notes of freedom; finally,
he will assist her TO get another and
better husband. Heaven bless our
neighborl There are few like him.
More's the pity.

Profuse Precipitation Sure Cure.

The following article We clip from
the New Orleans Picayune of June
the 18th:
"Dr. Buisson, celebrated French
physician, has been very successful in
the cure of hydrophobia by the simple
application of hot water baths. His
remedy virtually consists in driving
out the poison from the system, or at
least rendering it imperative, by fore
ing the sufferer into profuse perpira-
ton. He therefore directs that when
a person has been bitten by mad dog
he should, for seven consecutive days,
take vapor bath of 134 degrees to 14l
degrees Fahr. This he designates the
preventive remedy. When this has
not been done and the disease declares
itself, DIR. Buisson states that it will
be sufficient to counteract the effects
Of the disease to take one yapor bath
in which the temperature is made to
rise rapidly to 9S degrees Fahrenheit,
aud then slowly to III degrees Fahren-
heit. the patient keeping his room till
the cure is complete. As to the vapor
bath, the simplest is as efhcaciOas as
the most elaborate. A few red-hot
bricks placed in a pail of water, over
which the patient sits in cane-bOt-
toned chair, large blanket covering
him in from his shoulders to the floor,
will answer perfectly.
DIR. Buisson's remedy resulted from
his own experience, he having got upon
an abrased finger some of the poisoned
saliva from female patientin the last
stages of the rabies. He not only
cured himself after every symptom had
been developed, but he has since treat
ed with this remedy eighty distinct
cases without losing single patient.
In his elaborate essay on the subject,
in the Salut Publique. he refers par
ticularly to each of the eases coming
under his care and cured by him.
We simply suggest that this al
legged remedy for. one Of the most
terrible of all diseases should be tried,
for it involves no risk, noexpense, and
has for its foundation a substratum of
known truth. For instance, it is well
established that violent exercise and
profuse preparation enables the con-
stitution to throw off the effects of
poisons, many instances Icing recorded
of fever patients and others suffering
from malarial poisons being cured By
their violent struggles during deliri

He'll.

The word "hell, translation ofthe
Greek word Gehenna, is term used
to designate the valley of Hinnom.
This valley bounds Jerusalem on the
north, and lies below Mount Zion-a
scene of sacred and imperishable as
soeiations. In this valley Moloch, the
national god Of the Amorites, was
worshipped with the hOrrid aud inhu-
man rite of sacrificing children in the
fire. When Josiah, in his conquests,
overthrow this idolatory, he poured
contempt upon the Internal practice by
casting into it the bones Of the depart
cd. In the estimation Of the old He
brews the bones Of the dead caused
the greatest of all pollutions. What
ever person, place or things they touch
ed were forthwith considered 'uaclean.'
Hence this valley Of Hinnom, this
hell" having been the receptacle OF
the human remains which Josiah threw
into it, was considered place the most
polluted and accursed. From this
circumstance il became q common re-
ceptacle for all the refuse Of the city
of Jerusalem. Here large quantities
of decomposing, vegetable and animal
matter were constantly thrown. This
putrescent matter generated anabund-
ance of worms the worms here never
died. To prevent the noxious effiuyia,
spripging from this mass ofeorruptiOn,
poisoning the atmosphere and breath
ing disease and death into the heart Of
the city, fires were kept burning day
and night. This valley; therefore.
was literally a place where the worm
never died, and where the FIRE was
never quenched. ."-Reu. Phelps.

er's stealthy gaze was upon her and
she would have given half her posses
sion for eomposure. Still the heart
would fiutter and throb, and the brill
liant eyes dropped until the curling,
ebon lashes swept her white cheeks.
Could she tell them q falsehood 7

Yet how could she acknowledge it after
her vehement denuneiation of its
truth? Accusing it bitterly whilst in
the dim shadow of her heart it bloom

want of culture. but. living still frail
immortelle. She had striven to crush
it out still the pale plant rebuked
her by existence. Her power was i'm
potent to harm it, it still twined itself
around her heart strings making them
to culver with passionate throbs. All
these thoughts swept over her in a
twinkling.
Clara observed her agitation and
said, well, I'll declare, Ralph, that is
an abrupt question, and the essence of
insolence. L would not stand it."
She spoke with a light laugh that re-
assured Willis, and she answered, II
suppose Ralph thinks from my sermon
awhile ago that 1 could not love, but
you must remember we do not always
practice what we preach"
There stole over Miaiee Walkers
beautiful face fierce look of dread,
grim shade of despair. She had sus-
pected Willis love for Horace, and
now she was ferily cognizant of it,
She had fatteSed herself that she had
captivated him by her wiles, and now
she feared this proud woman would
supplant her. OF all women in the
world, she least chose Willis as sue
eessor, and now the danger seemed in
evitable. Willis had blushed, that in
fallible herald of loves existenee-as
if the heart overfowing with its abun-
dance forces the crimson jets into brow
and cheek. She had flushed and fall
tered. She needed no better evidence
of rival. What would her perisha-
bic beauty be in comparison with
Willis bright intellect? How could
she dare cope with her lasting charms?
The charms she knew he held SO price
less. She only fippant beauty, pet
ted and needless; her rival ala Mi
