Editor of the HERALD God has
cern fit in his infinite mercy to chasten
the people Of this world by allowing
them to be afflicted by various dis
eases and wars, and host of social
evils. Among all the evils He has
allowed the people to be cursed with,
there is none, perhaps, that has less to
he said in its favor than that of SIAN
der. Like ali other classes, liars are
Of various grades; some lie for par
pose that seems to justify the means
used, Others lie because 1t seems to he
Fashionable to lie, others lie through
righteousness, aid still another class
lie without any purpose in view. Per-
haps it is because they wish to cover
up their own shortcomings by casting
dirt upon better man Ter woman)
than themselves 1t has been ny
luck lately to be pestered Il little by
tile latter class. About fortnight
ago my wife had the misfortune to
break off needle in the ball of her
thumb. We went down to Lancaster
to see DR.. RowelI, who made an Incl
sion about a quarter of an inch in
length, in the palm of her hand, since
that time the hand has steady i'm
proved, and now she uses it as well
as tie other. But judge Of my aston
ishment a few days ago when Il good
friend from the christian town oil
Lunenburg called upon me to ask
after my wife's condition, and report
ed that the good people Of that sec
ton were enjoying quiet bit Of scan
dial at my, or my wife's expense. AS
the story goes, [ carried her down to
see DR.. Rowell, who cut her arm in
dozen places and now there was
danger of her losing it. Now air
not naturally profane man, but | dc
hope that in that future world of tor
ment called he'll those who have moth
ing else to do here but talk scandal
will find time to enjoy their favoritt
vice. Yours truly,
NELSON CALL.
