Perfectly Heartless.
"Pretty Pves, rather '-pretty, but per
fectly heartless!" said old Mrs. Holmes
to Dr. Stanley, with whom she was
conversing at a large, brilliant party.
'Heart less ! with that sensitive mouth,
and those eyes so f'i!l of expression,"
eaid the gentlemen innsingly.
"I don'.t admire her style of beauty
at all. She looks like a wax doll, and
her heartlessness is ' proverbial. Since
her uncle left, her so wealthy, she has
had lovers by the score, and jbIic flirts
with every one. Why, look at her now !"
Dr. Stanley's. eyes followed the direc

and rested, cn the central figure of a

young and fair, with a tall, exceedingly;!

and large blue eyes. Her hair was
short, but the soft full curls made a love

was of dark lace; ornamented with flow-1

conversing quietly with a knot ot gen

large and full, and the features delicate,

j; He did love me, then, really. Really
loved me, and would not seek me with
the fortune hunters who tollow me.
This is. the reasou I have missed him so
long."
"Arrah, Miss, here's the doctor.'!
Stop him, Mary, I will go in here.
Remember, Mary, don't know my
name," and Etta went into another room,
a vacant one auioining inai 01 me m

Etta s eyes ranged over the capabili
ties of the room in which she stood, and
she nodded to herself, saying : "It will
do ; it is larger and better than the other,
but a poor place at the best." . .
The next day when Dr, Stanley call
ed to see his patient, Mary, with a par
donable . pi ide, ushered him into the
room that had been vacant before. A
soft carpet was on the floor and a small
jBre in the grate, the latter screened from
fhe bed by a neat shade. Soft, white
jmuslm curtains draped the windows.
The bed could hardly, be recognized
with its white pillows, couuterpane and
sheets. A little table stood beside the
'jbed-with the medicines he had ordered,
and an exquisite goblet of cooling drink.
"The lady ye mind 1 tola ye ot that

over him with pitving eyes, and a smile,

Dr Stanley, standing in the doorway,
recognized the ballroom belle the

i . Heasnre of Scriptnw. figures. -. -
It is a favorite theory of those who re
ject the doctrine of endless future punish
ment, that orthodox Churches have great
ly receded from the ground they former
ly occupied on this subject ; that whereas
they formerly understood the expressions
the Sible referring to future punish
ment in" a literal sense, they have now
come ta dismiss this opinion, and that in
yielding this, they have yielded much of
the awfulne8s that was formerly ascribed
to liell. t This; claim is partly true and
partly false. It is probably true that, to
a great extent j ; the views 'formerly held
in reference to the literal ibterplretation
of those passages in the New Testament
describing Kell as a place of fire burning
with )rim8tone--a place of weeping and
waihhg and' gnashing of teeth a place
whre the worm dieth notj land the fire
is not quenched, have . been modified, so
that now the Christian Church generally
look upon these expressions as figurative.
A few may still cling to' the) literal inter
pretation, yet the number who hold to
this view- is .quite limited, and embraces
very few oC our scholars. - But those are
greatly j mistaken who suppose that in
yieiuing, up, tne, literal interpretation 01
tnese passages, the real measurement of
heli is at all lessened On Jthe contrary?
ih: yielding the literal and iceepting the
figuratiye signification of these passages,
the true conception of hell becomes, if
possible, more terrible still, j
Let lis studv the nhilosoDhv of the
figures of tlle'lJible. A figure, as used in
the Bible.' has two essential points : that
which the figure represents jia 1 something
like tne figure 11 kind and degree, the de
gree of the reality being always in excess
ot the figure. In other words, the figure
in degree never reaches up to the reality.
A consideration of the figures of the Bible
in such instances as we know beyond
doubt the true measure of their sighifica-
a ! 1 - mi 1 " mi 5 rt r
iiou, win snow tnis. xne saennces 01
beasts under the Jewish la w, were figures
representing the reality of Qhrist's suffer
ing and death. kind, theHigure agreed
witn tne reality in several irespects. In
the figure, the animal takenj was an inno-
cent one : also the animal died from vio-
iceV". instead; of' a naturalJdeath, Ac., in
all of which there was an agreement in
kind with the reality.." But when the
fall greatly short of the reality. The
death of the beast in the figure represent-
edanfferinf. and there was suffering by
the beast. TrutTbow far yshort in decree
were the sufferings of thef beast in the
figure, compared with the suffering of
Christ iu the reality. Wtat in degree
were the sufferings of the beast when
compared with. the sufferings of Christ in
the garden and on the cross. In this
case the figure falls far short of the reali
ty. Again, take the bread and wine of
the Sacrament. These are a figure look
ing back to the sufferings of Christ, even
as the figure of the sacrificial beast looked
forward. But how greatly does the reali
ty of Christ's flesh and blood reach be
yond the figure. Or take the figure which
Nathan used to represent tne cruel sin of
David, The figure represents a man as
having lost a ewe lamb, whpse value was
but a trifle, but the reality was the loss
of a wife. How much nforj then the
reality than the figure. Arid the same
holds true throughout the Bible in even
instance wherein we know 'surely what
the reality is. With this faet before us,
how great the mistake to think that the
sufferings of hell are lessened, provided
we shall believe that the expressions used
in the: Bible to describe them are under
stood figuratively, rather than literally.
The very opposite is true, jit these terms
are not to be: understood literally, then
we are forced to the conclusion that the
figure falls far short of the reality in de
gree. If this be so, how-terrible the con
ception we are to form of the dreadful-
ness ot hell. Ijook at someiot the figures :
There the worm dieth not. and the fire
js not qnenched.'t Near to Jerusalem
was a deep valley where Ahaz practiced
certain heathen rites. In' order to pi e
vent this place from ever more being used
thus, ing Josiah set it apart as a place
6f pollution. Bead animals and the filth
of the city were cast thefe to be either
burned or consumed by worms. It thus
became one ot the most abhorrent places
imaginable, never to!be-thought of with
out loathing : and shuddering, and the
thought of one dwelling there in the midst
of that awful filth, would have been to a
Jew worse than death itself. Christ uses
this terrible figure to represent- hell that
as this place was the receptacle ot physi
cal filth, even so, be'.l is lo be the recepta
cle of the most loathsome moral filth,
disgusting beyond description to every
thing holy; therefore the real hell of the
figure must be far worse than the figure.
The figure tha-Christ draws of hell in
the description of; the; rich man burning
in flames, and begging in vain for so
much water as might' cleave to the tip of
Lazarus' finger, is anotherj instance. This
would be fearful enough as a reality, how
much worse 'must : be that reality? Suf
focating in the smoke of brimstone is bad
enbtfgh as a reality V what! must the reali
ty then be, if this is butfa figure ? But
really the most fearful figure drawn ii
the Bible to describe hell and awaken in
ua an awful dread of it. is where the
Revelator Bneaks of the; "wrath of the
Lamb." Christ is in' the Bible called a
lion - To have spoken of the anger, of
God toward the sinner under the figure
of the wrath of a lion, would have been
something one 'would have thboght'suffi-
ciehtly startling, for a Hon may be easily
roused to anger, and his wrath is terrible.
Bat the wrath of a. Iambi scarcely any
provocation seems sufficient to awaken
its anger. Tear its limb$ from its body,
NO. 51.
and you cannot rouse its anger. And yet
vy ugure, me jjomo 01 ijoa is &aiu to oe
wrathful., How fearful, then, must be
the : reality of bell, when it , is thus de-
scrioeu in me use 01 sucn a.ngure 1.
; . It is a great mistake, then, to suppose
tnat n we accept the figurative theory in
reference to hell, that therefore Wo have
less to fear of it. ! No ; its terror is really
increased thereby - Ought ' we not to
preach this more than werdo? Exchange.

his -apartments. I He was an applicant for
office at the tlme Consul at 1 onis -Irora
which he had ben removed. t ?
What a sad thins it was to see the poet
subjected to all the humiliations of office
seeking. Of an evening we would -walk
along v the ? street! Onee in "awhile we
would see some . family, circlel so happy
and forming so beautiful a group, that he
would stop, and then pass silentlypn.;
: On such occasions he would give'a his
tory of his wanderings, his trials, and all
the cares incident to his sensitive nature
and poverty. "How often," said he, once,
''have I been in the heart of Paris Berlin
and London, or some other city, and heard
persons singing, or the hand organ play
ing 'Sweet Home,J without a shilling to
buy the next meati er a .place 'o lay my
head. Yet I have been a wanderer from
my boyhood My. country has turned me
ruthlessly from office,, and in old age l
have to Submit to humiliation for bread.".
Thus would he complain of his hapless
lot. His onlyf wish was to1 die in a for

sleep in obscurity. . ; ; L-
I met him oh e day looking unusually
sad. "Have you got your consulate ?"
said I. MV' i -; '"'I' :

The last expression was not -nolitical

wish was realized ; he- died atunis'.

manual and 171 steam , presses, as com
pared with 222 of the former and s 153
of the latter in 1867-8. -This increase
in a single year shows that the efforts of

the production of Cotton in India have
not been wholly unproductive of the
desired result. During the year 1868-9 r

the native States. The experiments
condncted during the vear with foreign
seeds met with varyiug success, partly
owing to the unfavorable season. m It
appears, however, to be pretty clearly
ascertained that the transplanted cot
ton plant will llonnsh only 111) those dis
tricts w'ere thej sn-rroundings are similar
to those to which it has been accustom
ed, and the report recites "that until a
more intimate! knowledge ot the.pecu
liarities oi the; plant have determined
its suitability for India and its habitat,
it would be unfair and impolitic to force
npon the-Jjidiari ryot whose bread de
pends upon his land, the adoption ot a
seed from which an adequate returo is
doubtful." The experiments are there
fore, to be conducted by the 'Govern-
raent, anu, in uie opiuwu 01 me (ouoii
Commissioners, it may rest assured that
when: the suieridrity of the exotic seed
has been established the native cultivat
o'rs will not be ; slow to adopt it in their
own interests. ; .
