The Columbian. [volume] (Bloomsburg, Pa.) 1866-1910, 1883-06-08

Some twenty-five years ago, lady,
now living in Salem, n. C., then lit
tie girl, fell into thorn bush and stuck
a thorn into her knee. A physician in
extracting the thorn broke il off, leav-
ing about half an inch of the sharp
point remaining, being unable to find
it. The wound healed, and nothing
more was thought of the piece of thorn
that remained, as it gave no inconven-
ience. The other night, however, the
lady discovered a blush looking PIN
pie on one of her ankles, which soon
became painful. She applied poultice
to the place, aud, on removing it the
next day, was astonished to find the
| piece of thorn.

reader, and the difficulty is increased
by the division into chapters and
verses, which division has been most
bungingly performed. 1t would be
well if the whole chapteral system
were abandoned, leaving as conve.

verses, but numbering them from |,

partially done, and noting the sup
posed chronology on the margin. AS
matter of convenience the paragraphs
might be numbered and the subject
matter stated. The Bible student
pays no attention to the chapters and
verses. Why should the unlearned
reader be stumbling over them and
have the continuity of discourses and
narratives broken and confused, rather
than clear and complete! AS there is
not supposed to be or to have been
any want of reverence in cutting up
the Scriptures into chapters and verses

could certainly be none in such a par

esis, in an endeavor to disentangle the
double narrative of the antediluvian
history--especially in connection with
the meaning of the first, second and
fourth verses of the sixth chapter.
The third verse, as the paragraph
stands, properly belongs to that begin

seventh chapter the narrative should be
read as follows, to wit: For the one
the first chapter and the first three
verses of the second chapter, the fifth

TIE GENERATIONS OF ADAM.


"The book of the generations of
ADAM" being the genealogies, ignores
Cain altogether, with all his family.
The temptation, the fall, the curse and
the promise belong to this sad side of
human history and to this vagabond
and disowned son. When Adam was
driven out of Paradise he went east
ward, and when Cain was driven from
the presence of the Lord he went still
further east. Thus during the fifteen
hundred years following, reaching up
to the flood, the two families seem to
have lived in the same Mesopotamian
valley, on the waters of the Tigris and
the Euphrates, and we can hardly
imagine that during all these years
there was not considerable intercourse
between them. They had come down
perhaps from the highlands of Arme-
MIA, from the province of Eden to-
gether--the Adamites on the Eu.

ed, back towards the Garden of Eden
it tioated, on the highlands of Armenia
it rested, and near where the human
race began its eventful history, thence
n second time it was launched upon
the stream of time.
If we now read over the history oi
the Cainites as it is given we shal
have several things to observe: First
that their women play an importan
part, and that, except Eve, who seems
to have been somewhat of a Cainit,
herself, no other than Cainite antedilu
Wan women are named in the Bible
second, that they were society people
building cities and living in communi
ties; third, that they were artisans
inventors, musicians and poets fourth
that they were artiticors in brass an'
iron, and therefore doubtless, men o
war, ready to attack and defend
Thus they had beautiful women, a

arms they had music and poetry
they had cities and society. On tn
other hand, the Adamites, 80 far a

Dogs Still Favorites.

The loud demand for law taxing
dogs may rise to the dignity of an issue
in Tennessee politics. Chattanooga
Times.
Nashville Banner: If the loud de-
mand came from other sources than
from the newspapers, such an issue
might be made. 1t will be noticed
however, that the most interested
parties, the farmers, are the most
quiet upon this question. In truth,
the majority of them seem to oppose
a dog law. One of the largest farmers
in Williamson county said to us the
the other day that, the present law
gave sufficient protection to sheep
raising from depredations by dogs,
since the latter could be killed if
caught in the act, or their owner be
made to pay any damages caused by
them. 1t appears impossible for the
farmers to understand, or if under.
standing to appreciate the fact that
nearly fifty per cent. of the sheep in
Tennessee are annually killed by dogs.
This killing is done at night, when
there is no opportunity to shoot the
marrauding ours, or to identify them
in order to claim damages from the
owners-even if the owners were re,
responsible, which majority of then
are not. We think the papers right
in urging the enactment of a dog Jaw
but when the negroes, the poor white
people and the majority of the sub
stantial farmers oppose its passage, We
are not inclined to hope for legisla
ture that will please the papers at the
risk of displeasing the sovereigns
There is no general demand, as yet
for the dogs to 60.

Regarding Beans.

We do not ''live up to our privi-
leges" in the matter of beans. Custom
has established the arrangement that
certain variety of beans, as the early
Valentine" Golden Wax, and
others, are good for "snaps" or "string
beans;" that the "London Horticul-
tural," the "Lima," and others are
good when shelled green; and that the
"Blue Pod" Medium" Navy" and
several others are properfor winter, or
as ripe beans. All this isvery well, so
far as it goes. But it restricts the use
fitness of some beans. Let every one
who has a crop of the London Horti-
cultural, more than he needs for seed,
make use of them as he would the
usual winter beans, whether for boiling
Or baking, with or without pork, and
he will have an enlarged idea of the
excellence of beans. AS the best of
all green beans are the Lima, so are
they the best of all ripe beans. In
localities where the season allows Of
their ripening, they should be collected.
If frost threatens, pull up the poles,
with the vines attached, place them
under cover, and allow what will
to ripen in this manner, and when the
pods are dry shell the beans. IF any
one likes the Yankee dish of "pork and

How to Make Sauer Kraut.

Advance.
Thoroughly scald out your barrels
and the cutter, tubs, etc., to be used in
making the kraut. Strip off the outer
leaves of the cabbage, halve them; re-
move the heart, and cut as fine as nec-
essary, Put some clean leaves in the
bottom of the barrel, sprinkle over
them a handful of salt, fill in a half
bushel Of cut cabbage, as before. Pro-
coed until the barrel is full; then cover
with cabbage leaves and press down
with board just fitting inside the top
Of the barrel weighted with twelve or
fifteen pound stone. Set away in a
cool place and remove to cellar when
danger of hard freezing is nigh. In
six weeks the kraut is fit for use and
the barrels may be headed fer market.

Lost Opportunities.

Waverly Magazine.
You have doubtless heard the saying
Opportunities once lost are lost for
ever" This is truth which, alas is
never thought of until too late. Time
is not to be triAed away, for it is not a
changeling, consequently it goes on
the same throughout its never.varying
existence. The popular current of
thought, the alarm of war, the burdens
of debt and the earthquake that shakes
the mountain top, cannot.arrest it in its
course. Seas may inundate the coun-
try, still time is just the same. Itpur-
sues the same old course it did hun.
dreds Of years ago. The tides OF for.
tune may backward flow, and, as it
were, become momentous, perilous
hour, yet the minutes and hours are
the same.
We are changelings, and live in a
fast age. Many of us seem to sleep
away our sunny hours, trying to live
in Incidence and ease. Many of us
discouraged :
"But diving and finding no pearls in the
sea,
l would blame not the ocean-the faults
is in me-"
We often have grand opportunities
given US, when really we scorn to &C
cept them. We know the schoolboy
is naturally inclined to shirk his duties,
and, as is often the case, would rather
bask in the sunshine of youthful merri.
ment than ponder over his books.
However, we sometimes see children
who delight in studying, though they
are not so numerous as we might wish
They generally grow up sensible and
honored.
Perseverance fills up the vacancies
of lost opportunities. Daniel Webster
would never have succeeded had hi
not persevered, for his first attempt a
a school defamation was a miserable
failure. Demosthenes, Buritt ant
many others, were tenacious enough
to conquer by perseverance. Sucl
men as Franklin, Washington, Grattan
and Anderson, never lost their ricl
opportunities.
He who grasps at all the grand op
portunities will most certainly succeed
We should not expect to find pearl
at every sounding, but missing then
should try the harder by-and-by. No
should we expect to conquer every oh
stacle at the beginning, but, with
freedom of opinion, royal independ
ence and an indomitable will, we cal
most undoubtedly succeed.
If it had not been for the graspin,
of rich opportunities, such men as'New
ton, Locke, and later day notables
would have been in the catalogue O
those who went down into obscurity-
of those who never accomplished any
thing worthy of being recorded. PEI
severance is necessary adjunct t.
success. Instruct the youth of GU
land to be tenacious in endeayor, ant
in the future there will be reaping ant
gathering in of the effects of thei
teaching. But with all this we mus
teach them to be abstemious of tina
| which tends to lessen their chances i
. life, to live up to noble principles, t
practice economy in their daily bushes
then we will look to the future fc
heroes of the proper mould.
