"Moist Willingly, Sir Hubert," and
Mrs. Trevor's handsome, patrician
face flushed with a glow.of gratifica

Sir HUbert Glyndon•s prayer for her

True, there had been c a foolish ro
mance connected - wiTii - the summer
just past. A strolling artist had been
struck by
. the sweet flower-face; and
had asked permission to transfer it
to his canvas. The foolish mother
had consented. She deemed Lilian
only a child. . • ' _

This artist loved her.; and wished
her - for his wife. She heard With the
timidity of the . timid fawn his pas-.
sionate expressions of endearment.
They frightened.even while they filled
her with tumultuous joy. .
" I will teach you to love me, little
one," he said. " Come, will you not
go with me to your mother, that I
may ask her to give-you to me ?" . • .
And shyly; with n,erimscin blush,

chased away the last doubt.:
He' was very- tender dining the

would' appear\ a little- grieved that
Lilian would shrink even fruit) his

for it. , Perhaps who . she was his

no longer shrank from
him.• . That was something gained.
Inceed, when 'they were quite alone.

" Next wee' . we will .go home,

Always she Shrank from meeting
strangers: ,Each fact she scaniieCt

the old look of utter, indifference

But day by day he - watched . the

to her with.an open letter in his hand;
a happy light in his face. - ~;

Salt for the Throat.
Li these eays when diseases of the
throat are
.so universally prevalent,
and in so many cases fatal, we feel it
our duty to say a word in, behalf of
a Most elkotual, poSitive cure
for sore throat.
-For - many years past, indeed we
mayssay during the wholt.:of, a life
of more . than forty years we have
been subjected to sore throat, and
more particatarly to' a dry hacking
cough whieh is not only distressing
oprselves, but to our friends and
those with whom we are brought into
linsiness. contact. • , •
L e ast fall we •were 'induced to try
What virtue there was in .common
salt. We commenced by using it
three times a day,-morning, noon and.
night. We dissolved a large table=
_spoonful of pure table salt in about
a half small tumbler full of water.
With. this we gargle the throat mist
thoroughly just before meal time.
The result has been that during the
entire winter we were not only free
from coughs and colds, - butAhe. dry
hacking cough - has entirely . disap
p6red.
We r attribute these satisfactory re
tAilt4 solely to the use of salt g argle,
and most cordially recommend a trial
of. it to those who aresubject to dis ,
eases of the threat.
Many persons who - ha:ye-never tried
the salt gargle have °the impression
that it is . unpleasant: Such is not
'the case. On the contrary, it is
pleasant, and .after a few. Oys use,

A Miller for Every Church
A worthy miller, as the story is
told. la:- -Rev. - Duncan ilunbar's me
moir—was once pained by hearing
that the minister was going away for '
want of support,. the, church having
decided that they could no longer
raise his salary.,.lle called .a meeting
•-and addressed his brethren very mod
estly, tor- he was one (if the poorest
among the comfortable , farniers. He
asked if -the want of money-was, the
only reason for his change, and, if all
were united in desiring the
.services
of the pasior Could. they still keep
him.. Theren'ai but-One voice in. re

responsibility for one 'year. .Have
your consent,?" •
Of course. they could. not refuse
this; although. .they expressed- snr
'prise, knowing the -miller to be a poor
man.-
The year drew to a close. The
minister had been blessed in his la
borsonid no one had been called up
on for money. When they came to
gethef the miller asked the pastor if
his wants had been supplied and his
salary met. He replied in.the affirm

if they were any poorer than at the
beginning of the year each one re
plied .46 No," and, asked how they
emiid be when they had paid nothing.
He asked again:" Is there any man
here any poorer for keeping the min

A Supposed Case of Trance.
READING, Pa., March 9.—Dr. Erd
man has under his care a case of sup

for rme weeks', and which is attract

scientific men In this section of the
State. The patient is Jahn Gyum
here, lle is about, 45 years of age,
robust, and apparently . healthy, yet
he has . .not been conscious nor has he
spoken, for thirty-four days. To-day
lie was subjected to. the most trying
tests, but they had
.no effect what
ever , upon him. He lay perfectly Still,
and his systein• made no response 'to
the ordeal it underwent.
,Gyumbere arrived F'ogelsville,
Lehigh County, a stranger, about
five weeks ago. He asked for refresh

He subsequently took a,seat and jell
into a doze: An effort was mitde to
awaken him, but he could not . be
aroused.. He *as -shaken, and pitch

,medical assistance was summoned.
The physicians failed' to arouse him,
and as his home' was unknown, he
was taken to the almshouse. Since
then he has not uttered tyword 'or
given any sign of life except a slight
yawn.. lie lies stretched on his back
on a low cot. Small 'loses of liquid

It is well for the. Women' of the
household ,to remember - that the
pleasant evenings at home are strong
antidotes to the pinctice of looking
for enjoyment abroad, and seeking
for pleasure in by and forbidden,
places, for relaxation and recreation
will be indulged in somehow by most,
men, and happy are they who find in
the home circle the diyhrsion they
need. A lively game, 'an interesting
book read alotleheor in musical fami
lies, a new song to be practiced, will
make an evening pass pleasantly.
• A little forethought during the
day, a little pulling of wilts that
need not appear will make the whole
thing appear easy; and different
ways and means may be prepared for
-making the ihours pass pleasantly,
and in a timb to be looked forward
to,with pleasant anticipations.
- We - visited .once a large family,
where it was the duty of each sister,
in turn, to provide the evening's'oc
cupation, and there was a pleasant
rivalry between them as to whose
evenings should be the most enjoy
able. The brothers entered fully into
the spirit of the simple home enter
tainments, and were as loth .to be
obliged to spend an evening away
from home. as their sisters and pa
rents'•were sorry to have them ab
sent. Every one spoke of this family
as an uncommonly united one, for
each and every member showed
such 'a strong attachment for the
home to which , each one contributed
'so much pleasure..
B B.IED ALI vz.—From Bucharist
there comes'a remarkable story illus
trating an occurrence which, it is to
be feared is too often the case,-and
for -which there is, no remedy except
legislation of a proper chatacter. A
young lady died :a small-pox, and
according to the sanitary laws of
Roumania she was buried at-once.
As she had been recently betrothed
the presents of her-lover were buried
with her, according to the Rouma
nian custom: 'These presents con
sisted of jewels and they excited the
cupidity ofthree robbers, Rho went
to the grave at night and dug up the
coffin. When it was opened one of
the robbers wits afraid to touch the
corpse, whereat his fellows jeered at
him. At this he gave the head of
the corpse n sound cuffing and let it
drop. At the instant the dead
woman 'arose and said, " Don't kill
me, I beg you." Naturally the rob.
hers fled and the unfortunate: girl
arose and, crawling from her grave;
Went hoar and was received with
mingled terror 'anti joy.

in the body
- of the book - from the.be : -
ginning to the end, and in order to
find the sub-divisions with which
one has been familiar, the margins
must' be consulted. !/
Among the most notable changes
is the omission of -the doxology at
the end of the Lord's prayer, and - the
prayer is to be delivered •from "the
evil one" instead of "from evil."
"Take heed ; that -ye do nut your
alms before Men" is made to- - read,
"Take heed that ye do not your
righteousness before tneti." ..In . the
question; " For what shall iit,profit a
man if he shall , gain' the whole World
and lOsais own soul-,? :Iv what shall
a .man give- in exchange for his
'soul ?" the word "life" is substitut;
ed for "soul": and • " forfeit" for
"lose." "This is My beloved Son,
hear Him," is made to read," This is
My SOn, Mychosen." . In Matthew,.
the entire meaning is chang
&l,. but no new doctrine is put forth,
and no .old- one assailed. In the
King - James version the vefse reads:
`:Why callest.thou.me good ? There
is none good but one; that is God ?
but if thou will enter into life, keep
the commandments." In the new
Version the verse reads as follows:
" Why askest tho - u me concerning
that which is' good ? One there is.
who is good ;,but if thou would enter
into life, keep the commandments."
In all the examples given, " Hades "
is used in place of " hell," as,Tor ex- '
ample, in the.parable of Lazarus it
+is said of the rich _ man that in
" Hades "he lifted up his eyes, be
ing in torments." The story of the
pool of Bethesda, as told in John '.,
is materially changed by taking from
it that portion which relates to the
miraculous powers of the water of
the pool.- In verse 3—" In these lay
a great multitude' of impotent folk,
ofblind, halt, - withered, waiting' for
the moving (*.he water "—the last
seven Words are stricken out, and
verse 4- 7 -" For an angel went' down
at a certain season into the pool and
troubled the water; whatsoever then
first - after the troubling of the, water
stepped in and was made whole of
whatsoever disease he had,". is omit
ted altogether. In the account of
the -trial of -Paul before -Agrippa
some rather' important changes are
made, and the impression that-kgrip
pa was almost persuaded to become
a Christian by St. Paul's eloquence
is dispelled. The verses in the pres
ent _version are as follows : "And as
thus spoke for himself Festus
said, with a loud voice : Paul, thou
art beside thyself; much learning
doth make the mad. But lie said, I
am not mad; most noble Festus, but
speak forth the words of truth and
soberness. For the king knoweth of
these things, before whom also I
speak freely : for I" am persuaded
that none of these things are hidden
from him ; for this thing was not
done in a cornet. King Agrippa,
believest thou the prophets? I know
that thou . believest. Then' Agrippa
said unto - Paul, almost thou persuad
est„me to be a Christian. And Paul
said; I would to God that not only
thou, but also to all that hear, me
this day, were both almost and alto
gether, such. as I am, and these
bonds." - In the revised this
scene is described thus: " And as he
thus made his - defence, Festus saith
with - a loud voice: Paul, thou art
mad ; thy .mucli - learning doth turn
thee to madness. But Paul said, I
am not nisd, most excellent Festus,
but speak forth the words of truth
'and soberness. For the king know
eth of these things, unto whom also
I speak freely ; for I am persuaded
that none of these things are
_hidden
from him, for this bath not been
done in a corner.- King Agrippa,
believest thou the prophets? I know
that thou believest.. An .1 .Agrippa
said unto Paul, with but
.little per
suaiion thou wouldst feign make me
a Christian. And Paul said, I would
to God, whether with little or with
much, not, thou only' ) but also all that
hear me this day, might become such
as I am, eicept these bonds." - -
The above examples giire a , fair
idea of the work done by the com
mittee during 'the ten years they
have been occupied with the revision.
There is little doubt that the - work
will be accepted by the Convocation -
of Canterbury. The• American com
mittee has taken no copyright on the
book, and theintention is to give it
to the 'public free, as 4,11e' old Bible
has been given. -
