Oh, it dtd not needa prophet to tell what the end must be, For no ship could ride_in safety near the shore in such a sea, Then the pitying people hurried from their homes and thronged the beach. Oh, for power to cross the water and the perishing to reach. Helpless bands were wrung with sorrow, tender hearts were cold with dread, And the ship, urged by the tempest, to the fatal rock shore sped, # She bas parted in the middle | half of her goes down | God have mercy | Is heaven far to seck for those who drown?" f.0! when next the white, shocked faces looked with terror on the sca, Only one last clinging figure on a spar was seen to be, See, the Nearer the trembling watchers came the wreck tossed by the wave, And the man gtill clung and floated, though no power on earth could save. «Could we send him a short message?

Deacon Levitious Scribe was a descendant of the Puaritians, and occupied a rocky farm in Skinners- ville, among the New England hills. He took great pride in his pedigree; and also in the historic fact that the broken and somewhat sterito planta tion had always been owned and occupied by a Scribe, in the regular lina of descent, ever since the Indian title was extinguished for a fow pounds of tobacco in the year 1639, according to their letter, and tho outer observance of religious ordin- ances were concerned, he probably was not mistaken. Mrs. ixperience Scribe, his spiritual other half,was a model housewife, and notably proms inent in all movements looking to- wards the proper equipment and costuming, both spiritual and phy- sical, of Fiji Islanders and other dwellprs in heathen darkness in the far islands of the sex. In fact she was a very far sighted woman, go far indeed that the spirit: ual needs and physical wants of the impecunious SBkinnervillains were al. together overlooked, the doctrine that charity begins at home disre- garded, and ber ambition to be help ful soared away across the plains and mountains to the islands of the Pacific and the flowery kingdoms beyond. But nearly everybody suid that Experience and Leviticus were well matched and the people pointed with pride at their daily lives, apparently so smooth and shoalless and successful, What a gifted man the deacon wason Thursday's meetings, and how stern and exacting in all busin. oss mattors! And his wife, too; what a power she was in the Society for the Advancement of Literature Learning and Good Clothes among the Hottentots of South Afaica!-- The Sabbath day was ending, in a valley by The uttered benediction touched the people As they rose to face the sunset in the glow- And then hastened to their dwellings for in Skinnersville how ready and and willing and active she always was to publish that wrong, with such variations and additions as the situation seemed todemund; and also dilate upon its sinfulnes, and warn all other prospective sinners to flee ftom the wrath to come. was not as other men wasteful, ex encourage poverty, pauperism, ete. tfavagant, and with a tendency to Mr. Scribe frowned upon every girlish ebullition, and believing that Satan finds some mischief for idle hands to do, kept her constantly busy But they looked across the waters, and a Deacon Scribe had a next door neighbor whose namo was Farmer so that while other girls were romp= ing, climbing trees, and jumping haystacks, as all girls under pro- [throug the muscle. Well, Dr, Kelly permits mo to refer to him, and will, I think, tell you that 1 am not likely to make a suggestion without reason. Dr. Baxter will also, I think, recommend a trial of any treatment I should insist upon, and I do insist that you shall give the 'Old Chester County Cure for Bits of wreck, and swollen victims as it had With the rough winds Llowing round her, a The Deacon regarded himselfas a 4.q pauperism j besides, it was alto- truly good man; and so far as the gether antagonistic to every notion fulfilmont of contracts and promises | ot economy, and frugality, which Sharpe, and the same seemed to be a misnomer, for he was not sharp as all in a worldly sense and people said that because of improvidence he would one day find an asylum in the poorhouse. When the deacon's boisterous steers, impelled by tho pangs of hunger, broke loose from their barren pasture and invaded Sharpe's cornfield, he drove them back, repaired the fence and said nothing; but when some members of his own barn yard family strayed into the deacon's possessions then immediate and satisfactory damages must be paid or else a suit at law. Notwithstanding an occasional un- pleasantness, however, harmonious relations oxisted between the two houses mainly because Farmer Sharpo did not believe in the mis- quoted scriptual ~ suggestion "If a man strike thee on one cheek, turn and hit him on the other also.' The farmer was a practical hum anitarian, who had constantly in his mind's eye that great volume of theological lore embraced in the brief sentence: 'Faith without works is dead," and his daily life was con- stantly influenced by the sublime truth so tersel expressed. Candor, however, compells the statement, and is made in sorrow and not in angor, that Farmer Sharpe was not a member of any church and did not attend prayer meetings, duties which seem to be clearly enjoined in the sacred teaching. Of course these shortcomings were terrrible in the cyes of the deacon and his bigoted spouse, and they hud long since decided that their cheerful, though scomingly careless neighbor was going to the bad on lightning express trains, or even by telegraph. But there were agood many Skinnervillains who did not take the sombre view of the situation. They saw in Farmer Sharpe a kindly gentleman with pleasant words for all, a heart | sympathizing with, and a hand ever ready to help any poor mortal who was stumbling and staggering in tho great life struggle; and be cause ho was practically good, and the deacen professed so, thoy fell into tho grave error of believing that after all, church people were no { better than they should be. | When Thanksgiving Day came |the farmer always prepared an immense load of wood for gratuitous | distribution among the poor people lof the neighborhood, and Jack | Sharpe, whom the Scribe folks re- | garded as a wild, barum scarum son of an indiscreot and unrepentont sire followed with a quantity of turkeys and meat, so that the poor might be warmed and fed for once at least, and having somothing to be thankful for on the day sot apart by law for that purpose. Deacon Scribe and his immediate followers said that such conduct was reprehon- sible, and had a diruct tendency to- wards tho encoaragement of poverty lead to weath, ete. While the elder and younger Sharpe were distributing solids for the body, the deacon attended the thanksgiving meeting, and with an unction peculiar to the people of his cloth, made an exhortation marvel. ous length, after the most approved oye-for-an eye pattern, How much is accomplished of course cannot be told but in adjacent cabins hungry widows and pale suffering children mado briof invocations, and called down blessings upon the farmer and his jovial son, while cheerful wood fires burned and crackled where all was cold before, and roasting meats sont forth savory odors where ull was blank before. Little hungry children climed up to kiss his bronz- ed choek, and so the kindly tace was photographed on thoir young mem- ories for all time to came. Shall it not be said that these brief prayers and rocord of charit- able doeds ascended like pure in- sence through tho frosty air, up to the Great White Throne, there to be proserved by the recording angel and charged to the credit of the un. pretentious farmer until the last day | That night Farmer Sharpe went home with thankful heart, because he was onabled to be the dispenser of God's bounty, and Deacon Scribe And, besides, if anybody did wrong went homeo and gave thanks that he per restrictions, Mary was de- ing her life away in the sewing room. But Satan appeared notwithstand- tended visit Skinnersville. With the face and tongue of an angel concealing the heart of a de mon ho profossed great love for Mary deep sympathy for lonely condition and suggested that running away to a distant city she might make her fortune and find her proper station in the village of cent town without Mrs. Scribes knowledge was agreed upon, and while there the new found friend developed his nefarious plans. Poor Mary took the carliest oppor- tunity to escape from tho clutcher of the fiend and started back penni less, on foot, and alone, towards the inhospitable home she had left be- hind. Meanwhile the affair had been noised abroad throughout all Skin- norville. The deacon's adherents were horrified, and when Mary roached the Seribe mansion Mr. Scribe greeted her with freezing in civility. She had committed no crime and was only guilty of an al- most forced indiscretion in leaving her unpleasant home with a stranger. But Mrs. Scribe would listen to no explanation, and, though the night was bitterly cold, she at once turn= od her out into the storm and dark-- ness, friendless, homeless, a wan- derer upon the oarth, Tho broken-hearted girl, so bitterly wronged, so foully sinned against, wandered on through snow and sleet, with despair in her heart and a terrible desire for some friendly stroam, beneath whose waves she might find oblivion and death, when out from the farmer's unpre- tentions home the cheerful lamp light glimmered, and for a moment she hesitated between certain death and possible life. But the good an- gol of ber nature triumphed at last, She crossed the hospitabla thres- | hold, and there with a thousand contending emotions fell prostrate | and fainting on tho floor. Good Mrs. Sharpe took her up and lving in tho kitchen, or wear-| I ing in the shapeof a nephew ot the deacon, who came to make an ex- in life. A shopping trip to an adja Hydrophobia'a tair trial and publish the result, know from unquestionable authority thatin the early part of this century an ignorant German of Chester County, Pennsylvania, ac- quired and kept until his death in extreme old age, a very widespread reputation for curing hydrophobia, that he guarded his secret carefully and always attended his pationts in person. He carried his medicine with him, and it was known to be a root which be himselt procured in the woods. Ile stewed a portion of this root in a pint of sweet milk, which he himself drew from the cow; stewed it slowly and stirred for half an hour. then gave it to his patient fasting--that is, before breakfast, permitting him to take neither food nor drink, except water, for six hours after taking tho milk, and repeated the dose on threo successive mornings. Intelligent people of that county have assured me that no instance of failure was known in any case ho treated, and that in one, the patient | had been seized by rparms before he [arrived so that the medicine was administered by force and the pa= tient recovered. Upon the old man's death a son sold the recipo for $1, and it was simply two ounces of elecampane root stewed in a pint of milk, and given so that the digestive orgaus would have nothing to do but ap- propriate it. Whon it produced nausea he gave the dose slowly bug always warm. Now, we know that eleccampane is {highly medicinal, and that milk is |an antidote for most poisons. Wa know that all schools of medicine agree in having failed to discover (any cure for this frightful malady ; | and is it too much to ask of you, as | men in sympathy with the sorrows {of the race, to give this cure a cares ful consideration? I have' been publishing it for eight years--first through the Pittsburg Commercial. One man,in Ohio,wrote to the above paper saying that be had tried it in tho caso of (twenty animals, cows and hogs, bitten by a rabid dog, Two years after no evil effects had appeared. Four persons Lave thought to herself, stumbled in tho path which I in| weakness trod.' She then said to Mary, 'Come into my heart, life, my home, you poor, wounded doye.' And she did come, and found within a stranger's breast that motherly love without which her young life had borne such bitter fruit. Indue time the farmer's son loved her, and she became Mrs. Jack Sharpe, How, O, how the Scribites, of Skinnersville, did bold up their bands in horror, and declare that society was going to the dogs, and tho spiritual bottom of everything here below was fast dropping out. But years rolled on, as years will roll, and ono summer afternoon, while the sharp little Sharpes were toddling about the homestead, and tho venerable farmer and his wife sat hand in-hand beneath the shade calmly awaiting tho great change that should carry them into the Master's presence, their aged lips repeated in unison the languago of Him who spake as never man spake, «Neither do 1 condemn thee. Go, and sin no more.' broken, Hydrophobia. Cuicago, May 15,--To the Faculty of the Rush Medical College,--GEN- TLEMEN: 1 know and respect your contempt for empiricism and the interference of old women in midi- cal matters; and so would respect- fully refer you to Dr. Kelly, whose office is on West Jackson street, near Wood, two doors from the resi- ¢ She - has written to me for tho recipe after having been Litten and none have jraken bydrophobia. | Iam moved to address you now by | by the fact of receiving a letter from a gentleman in this city, who | has recently been bitten, and by the | fact that it reached me in time, ag [by an accident, on the day I re= | turned from Northern Minnesota, where 1 had been to spend the snm~ mer. 1 find it usoless to try to get peo ple to cut a recipe out of a paper and preserve it; and, if this cure is what I believe it to be, it should be known to every doctor and every. body else whose life is endangered by the dog keeping mania which proclaims the lingering barbapism of the race. What I propose to you is that you take measures to securo a rabid dog, shut him up and expose ani= mals to his bite; treat some with the olecampane and milk, others with any other specific, and leave some without treatment. This would test its efficacy, and lead to some scienti- fic certainty about the nature of this disease and its remedy.
