Two sisters were once sent away to a
Connecticut boarding-school, and, while ab
sent their father learned that a revival was
in progress in the institution. He quickly
dispatched a messenger to bring them home,
lest "they should be frightened, and made
unhappy by the influence." They came,
but Jesus also came with them; and instead
of the gloom their father expected to find,
he saw them unusually cheerful and happy.
Very soon they 'conversed with him about
his own soul; urging him to, seek , the Saviour,
and to .establish a family altar. " What is
the use ?" he said. " I have got along very
well without prayer for more than fifty years.-
No, 1. cannot be troubled with it now."
They then asked permission to have prayers
themselies, which was. granted, the father
little thinking they would have sufficient
confidence. The• hour for retiring came, and
the. two young ladies, with , an inward prayer
that God would help them, read a chapter,
and kneeling down, one of.them offeredra
fervent, simple petition for Christ's presence
and ,biessing. Her father stood ; but as his

One of the 'most profound metaphysicians in this WWI

Hamilton
"In depth and acuteness he is a rival to Aristotle, in
immensity, of 'learning a match for, Leibnitz, and in com
prehensiveness of thought an equal to Bacon. The whole
circle of the ancient classics—`poets; philosophers. and ore;
tors—the .enxire compass of Christian literature—Eeetern
and Western, from Justin to Luther, including the angry
controversies and the, endless , disputea of the fathers and•
schoolmen—the great works of the Reformation, and the
prolific productions of England, Scotland,. Germany, and;
France, from the period of the Reformers until now, all.
amen to be as familiar to his mind as the alphabet to other
man; and what is moreremarkahle,,thisnonderous mess of
learning is no - Encumbrance. He has not only swallowed
down, but digested libraries; and while ;he carries; it is
hardly extravagant . to, say, all the thoughts of all other
mdix in his head. he , his an immense multitude besides--;
precious as any he has collectedd--which none ever, had;bo
fore him, and for which the world will always hold him in
grateful remenibratise. : He is an honor to, Scotland, and
an ornament to letters."

SPECIFICS FOR CONSUMPTION.
SIRUP - OF THE ITYPOPHOSPHITES
Composed of the Hypophosphites of Lime
Soda, Potassa, and Iron.
These remedies were brought to notice by Dr. John
Francis Churchill, an eminent physician of Dublin, and
have attracted' much attention from the medical profession.
To give a general idea of their wttion, we make the follow
ing extracts from Dr. Churchill's Parer " On the Proximate
Cause and Specific Semedy of Tuberculosis," read tefure
the. Academy of Medicine, Paris, July, 1857. Says Dr.
C.:—
" The total number of eases of Phthisie treated by ins
amount' to thirty-five. All were either in the second or
third stages of the complaint; that is, they had either
softened tubercles or cavities in the lungs: or tnese, nine
recovered completely, the physical signs of the disease dis
appearing altogether In eight out of that number; eleven
improved considerably, and fourteen died. The results
will be found to justify the following conclusions:
"The proximate cause, or at all events an essential con.
ditimi of the' tubercular diathesis, is the decrease in the
system of the phosphorus which it contains in an oxygen.
sable state. .
-
"The specific remedy of the disease consists in the use o
a preperatiOn of phosphorus, uniting the two conditions
being in each a state that, it may , be directly assimilated
and at the Rams time at the lowest possible degree of oxy
dation.
" The effects of these salts upon the tubercular diathesis
-is immediate ; all the general symptoms of the disease di--
appearing -with a rapidity which in really marvelous. If
the pathological deposit produced by the dyacracy is of re
cent formation, if softening has only just set in, and does
not proceed too rapidly, the tubercles are re-absorbed and
disappear. - When the softening has attained a certain de•
gree, it sometimes continues in spite of the treatment; and
the lens of the disease then depends upon an anatomical
condition of the local lesion, on its extent, and upon the
existence or non-existence of complications. I have made
numerous attempts to modify the local condition of the
lungs by the inhalation of different substances, but have
never obtained any satisfactory result independent of what
I was to be attributed to the specific treatment. The Hype.
phosphitee are certain prophylactice against tubercular
disease.
" The physiological effects , show these preparations to
have a two-fold action ; on the one hand they increase the
principle, whatever that may be, which constitutes nes
eons force, and on the other, they elevate the tone of the
;several functions concerned in alimentation and nutrition.
They seem to possess, in the highest degree, all the them
' - peutical *opening formerly sitributed by different oh.
e ervers to phosphorus itself, without any of the danger
which attends the use of that substance- The diffkrent
preparations of Hypophospnonts Acid will undoubtedly
occupy . goe of the meet important places in the Materia
Medical'
.The success of this treatment being so much in advance
of anything before attained In the management of this
heretofore -almost Incurable disease, calls for a thorough
testing of these remedies. With this view, the combination
'hen offered in the form of Syrup has been made.
The beneficial, effects of these Salta are not limited to
Consumption alone; they are appropriate remedies in a
large-clan of affections resullin d. from loss of nervous
Same, Dyepepeia, Scrofula, deb , ed conditions of Females,

system is defective. ederstanding .the chemical' nature
of these Salts, physiniene will be enabled to use them in a
