of no ordinary Importance in the pages of in-
sIired truth. Three of the Evan.clists fur
nish US with details of the event. This fact
alone demonstrates its importance and will
justify our earnest attention. In the discus
slons Of the subject there are two things that
we must bear in mind: O.) We have before
US the narrative of fact. The subject is eu-
viIoned with difficulties, and in view of these
some critics haYe surrendered the historical
accuracy OF the narrative. Now, whatever
may be the difficulties, we dare not lower the
narrative to the level of parable, fable or
fiction. We are bound to accept the language
as historically accurate and believe that Jesus
was really led OF the spirit into the wilderness
to be tempted of the devil. (2.) Christ was
tempted as man. God is not tempted Of evil,
neither tempteth he any man. 1t was there
fore impossible for the divine nature of Christ
to be the subject of Satanic temptation. During
the temptation the divinity of one was ouies-
cent. Christ, as man-bohe of my bone and
flesh of my tiesh-met, grappled with and
oVe7Came the devil. Hence the encourage
ment of the narrative. He is able to succour
them that are tempted, not because he is pos
sessed of infinite resources, but because he
was tempted in all points like as we are, vet
without sin. With these thoughts in mind
observe,
lIRsT, TEE CIRCUMSTANCES
Of the temptation. The time-"then was
Jesus led up of the spirit" /. L., Immediately
after his baptism, when he was declared to be
the Son of God with power. The place
Jesus was led up into the wilderness. The
locality was evidently high ground near the
Temple. We may accept the tradition which
assigns Mount Quararlania, in the wilderness
OF Judea, as the probable locality of the temp
tation. The condition of our Lord. He had
TASTED 1orty days and forty nights when the
tempter came to him. After such a fast our
Lord,s physical strength must have been pros
trated, and we all know the ultimate conuec-
tlon that subsists between the body and mind.
Physlcal prostration often occasions spiritual
depression. We can readily suppose that it
was 60 Win Chrlst, who was truly and prop
under the circumstances most calculated to
further his evil purposes. In this ease "the
servant is not above his Lord; it is enough that
the servant be as his master" When the
devil tempts us he will choose the time, place
and conditions most favorable to our defeat.

An Extraordinary. Incident.

A story is going the rounds about colored
man upon whose back the lightning wrote
the word ''God." Something equally strange,
but may be without quite so much solemn sig
nificence, occurred during the Schuetzen last
week. gate-keeper called for a glass beer,
but, instead of drinking, kept gabbling with
come cronies until the beer became stale The
gate e-keeper threw the beer from glass, and
it CHANGED 10 fall upon a white-washed stone
imbedded in the ground near by. The beer
splashed and trickled over the stone, and in
an instant formed the perfect outline of a
"Schuetza," with cap, feathers, blouse and
all. The story seems rather beery, but it is
vouched for by number of eye-witnesses.

A New Mustard Plaster.

The medical value of mustard plaster is
understood in every family. Much time Is
spent in preparing a poultice, and often the
mustard is of poor quality and will not act,
causing great suffering. This trying incon-
yenience is now perfectly overcome by Benson's
Prepared Mustard Plaster. 1t is great i'm
provement on the ordinary article. 1t is very
clean, and can be applied and removed without
discoloring the clothing or soiling the skin.
It does not deteriorate with age. 1t is always
reliable, as only the best quality Of mustard is
used in its preparation. 1t is ready for use at
any moment by simply dipping it in water.
1t is sold in half yard pieces, at 25 cents per
roll, by all druggists. Sent by mail, on re-

A Wonderful Surgical Experiment.

English surgical and physiological
students will find in the Gazette des Hop
iteaalr interesting details of an operation
of gastrotomy, attended so far with
successful results, which has been per-
formed at the Hospital de Ia Pitie, by
DR.. Verneuil The patient, a lad of
seventeen, had inadvertently swallowed
q quantity of the solution of caustic
potass. This occurred in February,
and in spite Of the most skillful treat
ment, the construction at the upper orr
fee of the sesophagus became so COM
plete that death from inanition must
inevitably ensued without an operation,
which was accordingly performed GA
the Goth of July.
The results will be seen from the
medical bulletin of the 10th of Septem-
Der. which states that the patient is in
good health, remains up all day, and
even helps the hospital assistants in
their work; he has almost as much
strength and energy as had before the
accident. His diet is composed of
soups, fne-chopped meat, mashed veg
etables and drink, which are elected
through large elastic tube inserted
in the incision made in the stomach.
Under this treatment he gained upward
of ten pounds in weight between the
18th of August and the 18th of Septem-
Der.

see almost too much OF each other.
When they 60 out to walk or ride he
may prefer the company of the elder
sister. who is horse woman; or of the
younger, who SIX etches. He may like
the singing of one, the wit of another,
or possibly even the looks of a third
But he is not allowed to enjoy any Of
these things. Sisters who are loyal to
each other would consider it shocking
He is bound to one, and one only, and
it is sad to see him sometimes when a
stampede takes place at his coming, as
he hopelessly looks after the retreating
figures and seats himself, with an i'll
suppressed yawn, by the side of the en-
gagged one. Hardly less trying is the
fate of the lover who finds himself tax
en- as brother by the whole family at
once, who has to kiss all his new sisters,
and to submit to the same familiarity,
and even the same lectures, which
their real brothers bear so badly. He
cannot call them "g;rls" with con-
temptuous accent on the word, nor can
he shake himself from their embraces
with rubbish" or a stronger ex-
preston. They give him commissions
to execute in town which their brothers
have long ago refused to undertake,
and expect him to pay out of his own
pocket for everything he gets them.
In fact, he finds his position very unen-
viable; and if he fails to divert their at
tention by bringing friend upon the
scene as asecond victim to the family
charms, he probably offends his lady
love by con6ding to her that he is not
engaged to all her sisters, as well as to
her, and only intends to marry one of
the family in some houses, too, diff
ferent kind of trial awaits the happy
pair. They are never left alone togeth-
er. Some mothers keep up the
chaperon system in all its rigor till the
knot is tied. The conduct of engaged
couples does not differ SO widely as we
might expect, so many are the conven-
tional rules appointed to be observed
on these occasions. Now and then we
meet proud girl who refuses to be
congratulated in the ordinary form, and
who turns the subject or leave the room
when her approaching marriage is
mentioned. For the most part, such
girls are really in love, and cannot bear
to have what they look upon SIS sacred
touched by rude fingers. 1t Is a torture
to be made the subject of quizzing and
feeble jokes. A sense of delicacy re-
volts from probing by the opportunities
made for the lovers meeting, and pry-
ing eyes render her condition embar-
RAISING and intolerable. Sometimes,
too, girl processes complete indifer-
ence to her intended husband. She
will not be seen speaking to him. She
openly laughs at sentiment, and denies
the existence of true love. She sneers
at moonlight walks, and keeps her en-
gagement ring loose in her work-bask-
ct. Yet her feelings, such as they are
may be we'll calculated to stand the test
of the time and matri nony. It is,
perhaps, more pleasing to watch the
behavior of the young girl who is de-
lighted with her lover and prospects.
You are expected to congratulate her,
not as matter of form, but, as it were,
spontaneously.
