Origin Of Hell.

Rev. Mr.. Phelps says The word
"Hell, a translation of the Greek word
Gehenna, is term used to designate the
Valley of Hinnom. This valley bound:
Jerusalem on the north, and lies below
Mount Zion--a scene of saered and i'm.
perishable associations. In this valley
Moloch, the national god of the Amorites
was worshipped with the horrid and inhu.
man rite Of sacrificing children in the FIRE
When Josiah in his conquest, overthrew
this idolatry, he poured contempt upon
the internal practice by casting into the
valley the bones of the departed. In the
estimation Of the old Hebrews the bones
Of the dead caused the greatest Of all
pollution. Whatever person, place OF
thing they touched we're forthwith consid-
cred "uncleau." Hence this Valley Of
Hinnom, Gehenna, this "Hell," having
been the receptacle Of the human remains
which Josiah threw into it, was considered
a place the most polluted and accursed
From this circumstance it became com.
mon receptacle for all the refuse Of the
City of Jerusalem. Here large quantities
Of decOmposing vegetable and animal mat.
ter were constantly thrown. This putre.
scent matter generated an abundance Of
worms; the worm here never died. To
prevent the noxious efflnvia springine
from this mass of corruption, poisoning
the atmosphere and breathing disease and
death into the heart Of the city, fires were
kept burning day and night This valley
therefore, was literally place where athe
worm never died, and where the fire was
never quenched.'

1t is beginning TO be believed In Euro.
pean countries, especially in grapo growing
ones, that the exhaustion Of the soil Of
potash is the prime cause Of the great IA
tality Of all tha diseases which have recent
ly attacked the vine. So IN England Il
has been chained that orchards Of apples,
pears, and other sour fruits are productive
in proportion to the amount Of similable
potash in the soil. The leaves of al de-
ciduous trees contain great proportional
amount Of potash, and, for the pits Of the
| apple, cherry, pear, and vine, in addition
/ 70 their leaves, vast amount Of potash Is
required 70 furnish basis for the acids
in which all are 30 rich. On this hypoth-
esis Il Is claimed then that while some
soils (elays, marls, and thoss made up
from the decomposition Of granite and
feldspar roeks) are naturally admirably
suited for the fruits named nearly III ethe,
soils which are, or are capable, of being
well drained, may be made 10 produce

the reason one tree bears more than anothc

The Lords Prayer.

Here is something curious. 1t is the
Lords Prayer in the English Of former
times, and it shows how the language has
changed:
OLD ENGLISH FORMS or THE LORDS PRAYER.
A. ID. 125S.-Fader ure in heune, halee.

thi willie booth idon in heone and in. The
euerych dave bried gif Gus thilk dave.

A. d. 1300.-Fadir our in hevene,

day. And forgive US oure dettes, as we
forgive our dettoures. And lede us not

Amen.
A. d. 15s2.-0ur father which art in

heaven in earth also. Give us to-day our
super substantial bread. And lead us not

A. d. 16l1.-0ur father which art in

negroes rushed up to Randolph and begged,
in the most pitiful terms, for their lives,
all declaring that they could work and that
they never would play possum aud lie up
again.
Randolph finally relented and agreed to
spare them, provided they could give Sc
curity among the other negroes that they
would work well in the future. No one
could have effected such genuine scare
as Randolph did. The negroes knew that
he was strange, eccentric man; that the
white people Of Charlotte all but worshiped
him, and they believed implicitly that he
would do all that he said he would do.
He did not allow any severe punishment
upon his slaves, but this lesson was suffi-
cient The empty graves were filed up
without occupants and the negroes went
10 work with a will.

PREPARE FOR WINTER.-The frosty
nights we have had lately should adomonish
housekeepers to prepare for winter BY
putting in order tkeir stoves, ranges and
other heating apparatus. Chilly mornings
and evenings are often dangerous, especi-
ally to children and sickly people, in houses
which have not felt the warmth of FIRE du-
ring the entire summer. In many cases
slight repairs are needed before stoves can
be used, and sometimes fues aud chimneys
are out Of order Now is the time to have
these matters attended to, while moderate
weather win admit of the necessary delay.
A little FIRE occasionally viii be found ben
efcial as well as comfortable in almost
every house; and dwellings which have
been closed all summer should not only be
dried out BY the kindling Of fires, but they
should be thoroughly aired whenever there
Is fine weather before they are occupied.
Neglect Of these precautions may be dan
gerous and even fatal.
