When Abraham sat at his tent door
according to his custom, waiting to
entertain strangers, he espied coming
toward him An old man, hundred
years of age, STOPPING and leaning on
his staff, weary with age and travel.
Abraham received him kindly, wash
ed his feet, provided supper, and caus-
ed him to sit down; but, observing
that the old man ate and prayed not,
nor asked Il blessing on his meat, ask
ed him why he did not worship the
God of Heaven. The old man told
him hat he worshipped the fire only
and acknowledged no other God; at
which answer Abraham grew so zeal
ously angry that he thrust him the
old man out of his tent, and exposed
him to all the evils of the night, and
in unguarded condition.
When the old man was gone, God
called to Abraham, and asked him
where the stranger was. He replied,
'!I thrust him away because he did
not worship Thee.". God answered
him, 81 have suffered him these hun
dred years, although he dishonored
me, and couldst not thou have endured
him one night, when he gave thee no
trouble?n Upon this, saith the story,
Abraham fetched him back again, and
gave him hospitable entertainment
and wise Instruction. Jeremy Taylor.

Aimose a Fire.

Last night about eight O'Clock small fire
occurred back OF the Real Estate and Build
ing Association office, on Second street near
Fort, which might have resulted in serious
damage Ii has been the habit OF some of the
residents of Hellman's houses to put ashes out
in wooden boxes on the lot in the rear of the
carpenter shop, and last night one of these
boxes took fire ard would certainly have
reached the fences, outhouses or carpenter
shop but Tor the fortunate appearance OF Mr.
Ballard and another man, who extinguished
the flames. In few minutes more the prem
ises would have been in flames and perhaps
the cosy residence block on Fort street would
have been blackened ruin. In view Of this
narrow escape we hope housekeepers will not
pursue the suicidal policy of placing hot ashes
in wooden boxes, or exposing them where
they can come in contact with mbustible
substances. 1t Is the duty of the city Mar
shal to see that no one is allowed to endanger
property in this manner and We know he
will in future promptly arrest all parties
guilty OF such cnlpable carelessness.

An IMPORTANT MEDICAL Dis
covERY The Pail Mall Gazette says:
"rhe public no less than the scientii-
ic world, will read with interest u
very important statement recently
made by DR.. Richardson, in the
course OF lecture delivered before
the Society of Arts. Speaking of
the nitrate of amyl, which has within
these last few years obtained re-
markable Importance, owing 10 lis
extraordinary action on the human
body, DR.. Richardson said that Il
distinguished chemist, Protssor Guth-
rie, some years ago, while distilling
over nitric of amyl from amylic all
cohol, observed that the vaprr, when
inhaled, quickered his circulation,
and made him feel rs if he had been
running. There was flushing of his
face, rapid action of his heart, aud
breathlessness. In 1862 DIR. Rich
ardson made careful and prolonged
study of the action of this singular
body, and discovered that it produc-
ell its effect by causing al extreme
relaxtion first of the blood-vesselS.
and afterwards Of the muscular libers
of the BODY. To such IN extent dld
this agent thus relax that DR.. Rich
ardson found that it would even over
come the tetanic spasm produced by
strychnia, and having thus discover
ed its action he ventured to propose
its use for removing the spasm In
some of the extre.nest spasmodic
diseases. The result, he added have
more than realized his expectations.
Under the influence of this agent,
one of the most agonizing Of known
maladies, angina peetoris, has been
brought under such control that tho
paroxysms have regularly prevented,
and in one instance at least alt0geth-
er removed. Even tetanus, or lock-
jaw, has been subdued by it. and. IN
two instances of an extreme kind, -
eiIeetually rs to warrant the credit
of what may be truly called a cure.
1t is earnestly to be hoped that fur
ther experiment may confirm this
good news. and that DR. Richardson,
to whom we already owe the intro
duction of either spray n an an;e tlet-
ic, may really have vamquished tho
terrible foe whom he has been COM
batting"

SINGULAR AcCIDESr.-The fatal
accident which befell the young ply
sician. DIR. Gilmore, in New York,
the other day was a remarkable one.
He was walking in the streets with
a friend, DR.. Goeiet, when they both
slipped on the ice and fell together.
DR.. Gilmore fell in a sitting posture,
and his head was thrown violently
forward, striking the point Of one Of
the ribs Of his umbrella, which pier
ced through the under eyelid Of the
left eye and frail bone socket Of the
skull, touching the brain. DR.. Gil
more slowly got up, saying: "Goelet.
| have put out my eye" DR. Co.
let Immediately led his friend to IL
neighboring house, and batbed his
eve. After "A short time, as DR. Gil
more could see without difficulty,
they started for home, and "A consuIta-
ton of physicians was held but sur
gical skill failed in this strange case,
and the patient died Of inflammation
of the membrane Of the brain. DIR.
Gilmore was a young man twenty
eight years of age, and had but Just
grad1a.ed from the University Med
ical College.

The Rural Carolinian gives fine

both of which are so good that we

"Iost for want Of word!"

Priests and Levites passing
The place where he Is lying.
He is too faint TO call,
Too far OF TO be heard;
There are those be side lfe's highway
Lost for want OF word.
"Lost for want OF word ~
All in the black night straying
Among the mazes of thought;
False lights ever betrayiBg
Oh. that n human voice
The murky darkness had stirredt
Lost and benighted forever!
Lost for want Of word
"l.ost for want OF word !"
Too high, II may be, and noble,
To be ever checked in his sin,
or led 10 Christ In his trouble.
No one boldly and truly
To show him where he has erred
Poor handful OF dust and ashes!
"Lost for wans Of word!'
'IOst for want OF a word!
A word that You might have spoken;
Who knows what eyes may be dim,
Or what hearts may be aching and broken
Go, scatter beside all waters.
Nor sicken a. hope deferred;
Let never a soul, by thy dumbness,
Be lost for want OF word!
