On the Hills of Cursiu=.


In work inst Issued from the press-The
R,La and Ir.seaf "a de Eod-the author de-
scribes recent visit 10 those once famous
mountains, EbaI and Gerizim, on which he
spent a day. He ststss that he and a fellow
traveller assembled the latter, and they after
ward proceeded to test the acoustic property OF
the valley between. To do this his fellow
traveller rode down Gerizim, across the valley,
and began to ascend Ebal, his ''horse lock-
ing the size OF an ant" After ascending a
considera Die distance, until he appeared but
a faint dot on the hillside, he stopped. 1t
had been arranged that they two should sig
nal to each other when ready to speak, but
that was now seen TO be hopeless; 20, waiting
until the dot appeared to cease TO move, the
author, the Rev. III. Jones, commenced TO
read aloud from a book, "feeliDg that he
might Just as well have thought of address
ing the house Of commons from Lambeth
palace" After while he paused to hear
the result Great was his surprise when,
from the little dot on the hillside, he heard
the words Of the twenty-third psalm, and
this in spite OF the conversation carried on
by some Turkish soldiers near. On the two
meeting, they found that each had heard
the other with perfect distinctness.

THE WHARF RAT.

EDITORS APPEAI.-This little poem was
suggested by reading. in daily journal, an ac-
count Of the murder OF sailor, his body having
been found beneath the wharf The wharf rat
Is character too well known TO the harb3r police
aud the acknowledged terror OF sailors returning
10 their vessels late at night. ] think il quite a

The wind sE eeps over the raiu-Set wharyes
All dark lie the crowded ships;
The ebb-tide sucks at the Shiny piles
With its cold and restless lips.
Down the dark street a sailor-lad comes,
Swinging and singing along,
And girl in the Galapagos isles
Is the burden of his song
But what is that shadow that steals and cTeeIs
And hides you bale behind
A sudden rush, and blOw-and grosn
i lost the gusty wind
The shuddeTiDg upples creep away
From the drifting stain,
And the girl in the Galapagos isles
Shall wonder and watch in vain,
For the tides cold lips are silent ones,
And keep such secrets well,
And the fate of the singing sailor-lad

the work of opposition to conference.-the
main cause OF the many murders and out
breaks of violence that have disgraced that
State-is now going on With rapidly and
completeness that constitute total social
revolution. One of our Arkansas exchange
papers OF the present week states that,
already, three hundred Arkansas towns and
villages have prohibited, by the power Of the
law, the sale of intoxicating liquors
within their various three-mile districts
And now, with such achievements
secured, such victories won, We re-
ceive circulars informing US that this
grand association is disrupted, that disunlon
has put in its hateful claim TO do evil and TO
HELM the cause OF intempersnce. As mat
ter of policy, the correctness of which we are
not called upon to difcuss, the association
favored alliance with agitations-as the sem
timents or conditions Of the various States
indicated as LIBERALIZATION constitutional
amendment, home protection or woman suf-
rage, where such policy might be made
lever to work against what favors and leads
to intemperance. This was thought neces-
sary in order that each State might work in
dependently according to what its conditions
appeared to REQUIRE Miss Susan b. An
thony, the eminent advocate Of woman
suffrage, who thirty years ago called together
the first temperance convention the women Of
America ever held, was recently present, on
the motion Of Western delegate, at con-
ventiou Of the association, meeting in Wash
ington; she was present as locker oD,not az a
delegate. The opponents of temperance seized
upon this fact to declare that the association
had strayed off to other than is declared
objects, and was captured by the woman
suffragists." Such an assertion from such
sources would have been harmless enough,
but it obtained credense even among some OF
the ladies Of the association Itself, and a cir
cular before us informs US that a number OF
ladies Opposed to the suffrage feature" OF
the association have left 1t and formed The
Woman's Evangelical Temperance Associa-
ton" in opposition to it. United we stand
divided we fall, !" and the women banded to-
gether for temperance are now diyided-a
deplorable fact, for discord paralyzes, and
the prey. The temperance association has
too much opposition to overcome, too hard a
battle to fight to suffer without damage any
"side issue" to be mingled with the great
object for which it is formed. If its ship,
exposed as it is to stormy sea, har any cargo
aboard that endangers its safety or obstruct=
its course, strong hands and vigorous wills
should cast it overheard without delay
Those who are actualed by evangelical senti-
ment, whose law is love and whose practice i.
charity, should not be wanting in forbearance
but with patience urge the truth and abide the
isne, for although difference of sentiment
may throw crosses ON the way of duty, dis
union insures loss and threatens extinction
Do not disunite, but listen to the words Of
Paul, and "help those women who labored.

OLD "Joe Brown" of Georgia, actually
aspires to be president. In a recent inter-
view in Washington, referring to the report
that he would probably head the Independ-
ent movement in Georgia, Senator Brown,
of that State, said: 81 shall not be the
Malone OF Georgia. 1 shall not head the So
called Independent movement. One reason
why the report referred to is not true is that
l shall vote the Democratic ticket from now
until 1884, at the least. 1 am not an indie
pendent, but Liberal Democrat" The sem
stor also promised to define his position on
some Of the issues of the day shortly, as op-
portunity offered. The tenor of his CONVEX
sation indicated the presence of aspirations
for the presidential nomination of the Demo-
cratic National Convention in 1884.

A Mean Husband

MANY of the sipgularities OF the Jewish
question in Russia are due TO the autonomy
in some respects enjoyed by the Jewish com
munities there For example, they have
their own marriage laws-the marriage laws
OF tie Talmud, that Is, and OF the ancient
Hebrews In accordance with these laws
divorce is a very easy matter. Husband and
wife have but to agree to separate, attend be-
fore the rabbi and the thing is done; the
ceremony consisting solely in the handing
OF the "bilI of div orce" to the woman L n
der these circumstances strange things some
times occur. A few msnths ago young
Jewish girl, an orphsn, arrived in Oiessa,
intending, many young Jewesses do, to oo-
tain a situation as assistant-houSeheePsr IN
a Jewi-h family. While looking Tor
Mac. she was recommended TO stay with
z respectable middle-aged married woman,
whose husband-a man very much
Younger than herself-was away for a lev
weeks. The middle-aged Jewess soon wound
herself into the confidence OF her guest, and
ascertained that the young glfl would nave
a dowry OF some five hundred rubles when
ever she married. Thereupon she formed
bold design. She persuaded the girl to marry
instead OF going into service, promising 10
,,roc,re 4 suitable husband-an undertaking
not uncommon among the Jews. When her
own husband returned from his journey she
impaired to him her plan He was 10 d.
yorce her, marry tue young Jewess, secure
her five hundred rubles, and then, divorcing
The new bride, return TO his fret spouse.
After seeing the promised bride the husband
agreed. The divorce was given; the mar
rage took place; and then the husband. per
fectIy content with his new partner, refused
to divorce her. Furious at this breach OF
promise, the divorced wife summoned him
before the chief rabbi, Schwabacher. He,
however, pronounced the divorce binding and
the marriage valid. But as a solatium he
decided that the disappointed woman was
entitled to 2 commission OF twenty-five rubles
or FIVE per cent. of the dowry, for having
acted as aschadchen," or marriage-broker'

PERSISTENT egotism, which talks forever
of itself, itself, itself, only itself, and cannot
even feign the most passing interest in an
other; detraction of friends and it may be
OF relations-a husband telling Of his wife's
unpleasantness, wife complaining of her
husbands faults; the bold assumption of
superiority, and the servile confession OF in
finite unworthiness; all these are signs and
evidences OF vulgarity-vulgarity OF & far

She was maiden of mournful mien,
Clad in a garment of sad, sage green,
With peacoC ks feathers strangely bedight;
Skimp was the skirt, and The sleeves full tight.
No frivolous gems that maiden wore,
But fan in a taper hand she bore,
And on it was painted-so simple and neat
A sunhower, with all its petals complete.
Her face was weary and white and wan.
Her hair the hue Of the setting sun;

She dropped like a lily upon its stalk,

The advantage of this compound over the
