La Doctrina que nos ensena la
vertladera noci6n dc la vida futura
es autfntica, rerfdica 6~integra.
FL Nuevo Testamento es, en- efec-
to, del riempo que Sc lie fila y del
autor i que Sc atribuye. Sn aa-
tenticiddd esta garantiZada no solo
por ell testinonio infalible de la
IgleSia, sino tambien por el de los
mismos herejes & incre,iulOs. El
ap0stata JulianO nombra los cua-
tro Evangellstas y reconoce que
los Evangelios han sido escrtos
por ellos. 0 Ell pagano Celso,
huscando armas contra el Crls-
tianismo, NADIA encuentra EN- la cri
tica contra la autenticidad del
Evangelio ri. Los herejes tie los
primeros siglos, prlncipalmente Ia
ciano y Marci6n, en- vano hacen es-
fuerzos inauditos por corronper,
en favor de ST. secta, ciertos pasa-
jes de los libros sagrados; pues no
consiguen otra cosa que probar la
autoridad de que a sus propios ojos
Sc halan revestidos. [3] L! mis-
mo Rousseau haee esta pregunta Il
su siglo: 81 Direnos que la his
toria del Evangelio ha sido luven-
tada - Y seguidamente responde:
"No, amigo mio, no cs asf como sc
inventa. Los hechos de Socrates,
lie que nadie duda, estan menos
atestiguados que los de Jesucrlsto,
S.lia tan inconcebibie que muchos
hOmbres sc hubieran puesto de

como no 10 seria menos que uno
solo hubiese suninlstradO ell astln-
to. Ell Evangelio tiene caractcres
tan grandes, tan admirables, tan
inlmitableS, que el inventor serla
mas gran,le que el h6roo". 4].
Su veracidad esta garantizada
-por cl caracIer de los autores que

RUM AT GREELEY.
MIR. Nys's Experience In the Stronghold of
Total Abstinence.

Total Abstinence.
Laramie Boomerang.
AS write, Greeley is apparently an oasis
in the desert. 1t looks like a fertile island
dropped down from heaven in a boundless
stretch of buffalo grass, sage hens and cum
ming little prairie dogs. And yet you would
not come here as a stranger and within the
colonial barbed-wire fence procure a bite of
cold rum ii you were President of the
United States with rattlesnake bite as large
as an Easter egg concealed about your person.

why the thirstful man in Maine drinks from

other miracles too numerous to mention are
performed
Whisky is more bulky and annoying to
carry about in the coat tail pocket than
plug of tobacco, but there have been cases
where it was successfully done. | was shown

six or eight bushels. 1t was in the wash

The little fat bottle with the odor of gin and

every circular they publish. The want of a
hospital of heir own, as a home for the
nurses, and special means of training them
in the executive work of such institutions,
as well as to afford them constant experience
when not employed elsewhere, and this want
our enterprising ladies of the Mission have
promptly anticipated. Besides having al
ready promised to them that certain OF the
wards of the City Hospital shall be placed
under their charge, and the encouragement
of physicians in the city here who cordially
guarantee to them the charge of private
cases in good number, the managers of the
Mission propose to have a small carefully
arranged cottage hospital of their own under
the charge of the head nurse where such
cases as the visitors of the Mission may find
in need of hospital care can be treated, and
where stranges taken i'll in the city
as well as occasional cases in the
hands of physicia here may be accommo-
dated. The hospital is intended to be a
branch Of the mission work as well as the
home of the training school.

plan? Has the time come when nurses, trained
to their calling, are required? 1t certainly

Whats that?'
"Well. I'm employed by the insurance

A STORY BY TURGENIEFF.
The Diamond Dust of the Great Russian
Noveiist's Old Age.
St. James Gazette.


st. James Gazette.
Diamond dust has all the properties of the
diamond, and the essence of great writer s
genius may be traced in the slightest of his
productions. Few better illustrations of
this canon could be adduced than the little
prose poems which have amused the declin-
ing years or NJ Turgenieff. They may be
compared to the "Twice-told Tales" of Ma
thaniel Hawthorne-a writer who has no
slight affinity to Turgenieff-for their COM
parative brevity, their terse finish, and their
more fancifui and ideal character in
relation to the bulk of the authors
writings. They differ partly as the
productions of master of literary
form differ from those of a beginner;
partly inasmuch as with Hawthorne the
story is usually of at least as much impor-
lance as the thought, while with Turgenieff
it only exists for the development of an idea
frequently so slight that lyric poet would
have dispatched it in stanza. The keynote
of each collection is deep melancholy; but
with Hawthorne this is the egotistic melon
choly of lonely visionary who passes by
banquet and by business like shadow; with
Turgenief it is the sorrow of one but too
deeply interested in human life, and who
feels in every fiber the misery of a nation
rotten before it is ripe" as Cobbett has it.
Perhaps the best idea OF NJ. Turgenieff s
manner in this work will be conveyed by an
abridgement of one of his tales. Having re-
counted how Giafar the renowned N1zier OF
the Caliph Haroun Alraschid, while yet
young and undistinguished, rescued an old
man from assassins, and afterwards visited
the old man at his request, continues:
The old man took Giafar by the hand and
led him into garden inclosed by high walls,
in the midst of which grew a strange tree, in
semblance like cypress, only its leaves were
of an azure hue Upon this tree hung three
apples; one of longish shape and white as
milk; the second round and red; the third
little, shriveled and yellow. Youth" said
the old man, pluck and eat one of these
apples. If thou eatest the white, thou will be
the wisest of men; if the red, thou wilt be
the richest if the yellow, thou wilt be sin
gularly acceptable to all old women. But
make speed; the charm loses its virtue within
an hour" Giafar ruminated with much per
plexity. "If 1 know everything" thought
he, II shall know more than is good for me;
if become too rich other people will envy
me. will eat the yellow apple" And he
did so. The old man laughed with his tooth
less mouth and exclaimed: Good youth!
in sooth thou hast chosen the better part
What need hast thou OF the white applet
thou art already wiser than Solomon. MOI
needest thou the red apple, either; thou wilt
be rich enough without it, and none will envy
thee" Venerable sage" responded Giafar,
''deign to indicate to me the dwelling of the
august mother of the Commander of the
Faithful" The old man bowed to the ground
and showed the way And Giafar is the great
est subject in Bagdad.

A DUEL pEoLAREp oFF.
How President Taylor Interfered to Prevent
Fight Between Davis and Bissell.

Washington Letter in Providence Press.
When General Zachary Taylor was Presi-
dent his son-in-law, Jefferson Davis of Mis-
sissippi, afterwards a president himself, was
in the Senate. At one particular time under
this administration Colonel Bissell after
ward Governor of Illinois, who had headed an
Illinois regiment in the Mexican war, was in
the House of Representatives. One Of Bisselrs
enemies took occasion to remark, in debate
in the House one day that in a certain bat
tie on Mexican soil BisselPs cowardice nearly
lost the day to the American arms. Moth
ing" he declared but the skill and bravery
of Colonel Jefferson Davis, of Mississippi, and
his brave regiment prevented disgraceful
rout." Bissell jumped up promptly, and
sngrily denounced this statement as false. In
fact, he said the case was Just the other way
Colonel Daviss cowardIce nearly lost the day
Colonel Davis's regiment lost its heart;
Colonel Bissel1s bravery and ability saved
the day. His regiment was only less brave
and skiliful than himself.

Davis Immediately sent Colonel Bissell a
polite note inviting him to retract or fight
The Colonel replied that he preferred to
fight, and after the bloodthirsty manner of
those days. named muskets, slugs, and FIVE
PAGES as the terms. He expressly requested
that the place and the hour be so arranged
that the police could not possibly interfere.
Senator Davis agreed with his antagonist
as to the conditions and the seconds
were instructed accordingly. Colonel
Bissell was on the ground at the early
morning hour named SO were his second
and his surgeon. But Senator Davis did not
appear. After waiting several hours Colonel
Bissell returned to the city and went to his
rooms There he found the Presidents pri-

went and, as he had expected. found his
challenger in the library with President
Taylor The latter said to Colonel Bissell
that, thinking it pity that two such men
should make war upon one another, he had
himself arrested Senator Davis, and had sent
his private secretary to arrest Colonel Bissell.
Now that he had them, he proposed to keep
them, at least until after lunch, and, as they
were mis- guests they must also be
friends. So they shook hands with more or

New York Christian Advocate.
The niseries of a moor verbal memory

New YORK christian Advocate.
The miseries of poor verbal memory are
great. The Rev. Arthur Mursell, of Eng
land, says that his own father was one of the
most impassioned and powerful extempore
orators he ever heard; but he had bad YER
bal memory. and latter working us up with
a splendid passage of unprepared and i'm
promptu eloquence, he tried to close the
sentence with the text, Mercy and truth are
met together; righteousness and peace have
kissed each other But the words escaped
his recollection, and he said: Mercy and
truth are met together; nd-and-and-and
two similar sentiments have kissed each
other" Bad as the verbal memory may by
nature be, it is capable of great improve
ment. We have seen minister who till he
was forty, did not dare to quote a verse of
Scripture or line of poetry; when, hearing
some one say that the defect could be re-
moved, made it a matter of study, and soon
attained the power to quote what he would.
