SUNDAY READING.
ST. PAUL.
St. Paul’s onrire consecration to Christ
led him to abnmlant labors, great perils, in
tense sutfermW 6 *ami heavy sacrifices. -‘I
labojed more abundantly than they all.” was
his boast. hum hie 1 in a moment, by Chris
tian ihfo “Yet not I, but Christ in
me.'* was traversed and traversed
and traversed again. and when the Maeiedo
nan cry was heard, ho crossed over into Eu
rope. and at Philippi preached justification
by faith to the trembling jailor, awl himself
a prisoner, sets his jailor free. In Corinth
and Ephesis, he labors with the learned and
1 o’i 1i si Greek, and at Athens, to astonished
philosophers, preaches the resurrection from
the dead. In Rome he preaches the gospel
of which lie is not ashamed, because he
knows*t to be the wisdom and power of
God. lie toils with his own hands to supply
liis wants, when ciruinstances make this ex
pedient, and in palace and temple, in syna
gogue and forum, preaches Christ crucified.
Before kings on their thrones, in the upper
room all night long, in his own hired house,
wherever he could come to men, or men would
come to him. he toiled to bring them to 1
Christ. When present, he preached, exhort
ed, ami counseled; when absent, he sent to
inquire how his brethern fared, and wrote
epistles fraught with instruction or exhorta
tion. praise or blame as occasion required.
Mind and heart burdened with the cares of
all the Churches, he sows in season and out
of season, early in the morn and late at
night, and trusts to God that both this and
that shall prosper.
"God Knows We Anyhow."
Frank had beautiful long hair hanging
over his shoulders, and his parents were
proud of his appearance. One day he got
liis mother's scissors, went to a looking glass,
and cut off all his fair locks.
llin father and mother were much displeas
ed at him for so doing, and resolved to pun
ish him in this way :
When they were at the dinner table, his
father, pointing to him, said to his mother.
‘•What little boy is that?” ‘Tin your little
Franky. papa,” he at once said, not giving
his mother time to reply.
“Nonsense,” was the father's answer, “my
little Franky has beautiful long hair; I
would not give my Franky for a dozen boys
such as j*ou.”
Franky now turned to his mother and
said, “Ain't I your little Franky?” but mam
ma only shook her head. Matters were now
looking serious, and Franky becoming
alarmed, could not make any progress with
his dinner. lie now appealed to his brother,
and asked if he was not little Franky, but
bis brother only shook his head.
lie was becoming very unhappy at the
thought that father, mother and brother no
longer recognized him. and at, last he burst
into tears, saying as he did so, “Well. God
knows me; anyhow.”
Tears were now in other eyes as well as
Franky's. Those who are near and dear to
ns may no longer own us, but if we are his
children, “God knows us anyhow.”
Justification.
Whensoever thou hast to do in the matter
of justification, and disputed with thyself,
how God is to be found, that justifieth and
acceppteth sinners, where and in what sort
He is to be sought, then know thou that there
is no other Go 1 but the man Christ Jesus.
Embrace him and cleave to him with thy
whole heart, setting aside all curious specu
lation's of divine majesty. For he that is a
searcher of God's majesty shall be over
whelmed of his glory. I know by experience
what T say. Christ himself saitii. “I am the
way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh
to the Father but by me.” Therefore, besides
this way. Christ, thou shalt, find no other way
to the Father, but wandering; no truth, but
hypocrisy ;no life, but eternal death. Where
fore. mark this well in the matter of justifica
tion. that when any of Us shall have to wres
tle with the law. sin, death, and nil other
evils, we must look upon no other Go 1 but
only this God incarnate, and clothed with
man's nature.— Luther.
The Christian’s Greatest Fear.
We have, in former editorials, spoken of
the Christian’s greatest grief, and of his high
est aspirations ; we venture now to express
the opinion that his greatest fear is not that
the Lora will ever fail to fulfil His promises,
or withdraw 11 is love from one on whom he
has bestowed it. but it is, that he may err in
his conception of God and his own spiritual
condition. Nothing is more abhorrent to his
mind, than the idea of self -deception. lienee
he ceases not daily to examine and re-exam
ine hisjgßwn heart, and to subject to the tests
of God VS wOrd his own spiritual affections.
Knowing the deceitful ness of sin. and the
treachery of his own heart, while engaged in
this work of self-examination, he ceases not
to crv to God with the Psalmist. “Search me.
() God, and know my heart: try me. and
know my thoughts: and see if there be anv
wicked'way in me, and lead me in the way
everlasting.” Ps. cxxxix : 23, 24.— Ch. In
dex.
Simplicity in Preaching.
Arthur Helps tells a story of an illiterate
soldier at the chapel of Lord Morpeth's castle
in Ireland. Whenever Archbishop Whately
came to preach, it was observed that this
rough private was always in his place, mouth
open, as if in sympathy with his ears. Some
of the gentlemen playfully took him to task
for it. supposing it. was due to the usual vul
gar admiration of a‘celebrity. But the man
had a better reason, and was able to give it.
He said. “That isn't it at all. The Arch
bishop is easy to understand. There are no
fine words in him. A fellow like me, now.
can follow along and take ever}* bit of it
in.”
Faith, says Mauton, is bettered and made
more perfect by acting. Neglect of our gra
ces is the ground of their decrease or decay :
wells are the sweeter for draining. Chris
tians get nothing by dead and useless habits.
Talents bill in a napkin gather rust; the
noblest facilities are embarrassed whey not
improved bv exercise. The Apostle wisheth
Timothy to “excite and enliven his gifts”
(2 Tim. i. 6). It is an allusion to the fire of
the temple, which was always to be kept
burning. Well, then, by much in duty draw
out the acts of your graces; men live, but
are not lively ; decays do insensibly make
way for deadno^s.
Tiiordn God’s humble children may both
breakfast and dineon bread of adversity and
water of atttietion. they will be sure to sup
sweetlv and plentifully. And the believing
expectation of the latter might serve to quali
fy the former, and make them easy under it.
Manner is of importance. A kind no is
often more agreeable than a rough yes.
METEMPSYCHOSIS.
Wonderful Interchange of the Souls of
Two Men.
ANTIPODES SWAPPING TIIEIR IDENTITY
TITROrOH THE FARTII’S CENTFr.
Members of the Medico-Legal Society
this city (says the New York Mercury 20th
March.) are greatly astonished by ttie follow
ing events, the news of which has just reach
ed them !
By the directions of the emperorof Russia,
a scientific investigation is now going on into
the most astonishing case of metempsychosis,
or wandering of the human soul from one
body into another, that has ever been known
to the world. The instance referred to is
vouched for by the Medical Weekly Journal
of St. Petersburg, by a newspaper printed at
New Westminister, British Columbia, by the
imperial governor of Orenburg. Iw Professor
Orlow, of St. Petersburg, and by several gen
tlemen of New York, to whom Orlow told the
strange story about nine months ago, and
wjio themselves had an opportunity to see
and converse with the two men whose souls
are alleged to have been so miraculously in
terchanged.
In September. 1874. in Orenburg, Russia,
there lay sick with typhoid fever a wealthy
Jew by the name of Abraham Charkov, a
native of the place, known to everybody,
married and father of several children. On
the 22d day of tliut month lie seemed to bo
dying. At mid-night, he suffered greatly, and
the physician pronounced him in the agonies
of death. A number of Jews called in, as is
customary, prayers were said, wax candles
lit, the and children sorrowfully weeping
over their bereavement, when suddenly
THE SICK MAN GAVE A TREMENDOU S JERK,
heaved a deep sigh, began to breathe freely,
opened his eyes and looked with amazement
at the doings of the people around him, and
fell asleep. The physician announced that
now all danger was over. He slept through
the night, but what happened in the morning
was most wonderful. When he awoke he
refused to recognize either his wife or chil
dren, and pushed them away in anger when
they came near him. Beside he spoke a lan
guage none could understand. Previously
he had known only a mixture of German and
Hebrew, and some little Russian, but now
when addressed he seemed not to understand
a word. In a week he was well enough to
leave the bed. but, utterly refused to wear
his customary clothes. • The physicians unan
imously pronounced him insane. In appear
ance he had not changed. He was the same
tall. lean, man, with dark, curling locks of
hair, long black board, and a dark, furrowed
line across his forehead. Yet he spoke an
unintelligible language, refused to know his
family, and even his father and mother ap-
peared as perfect strangers to him. By
chance one day he beheld himself in a mir
ror and a fearful shriek escaped his lips. He
touched and pulled at his long, orient ial nose,
he felt his long black curls, his flowing blacjv
beard, and with a scream he fell to the floor
in a swoon. The case caused great excite
ment. and a full report was made to the ined
i< al section of the ministry of the interior of
St. Petersburg. The order went'out to Oren
burg to send the Jew and his family, his pa
rents and the other witnesses at once to St.
Petersburg to be examined by the medical
faculty. The examination was conducted
by Professor Orlow, one of the most learned
men of Russia. The astonishment of the
professor may be imagined, when he found
that this illiterate Jew from Orenburg spoke
TI RE, IDIOMATIC ENGLISH
w-ith fluency arid even with some elegance,
that he wrote it alto grammatically and or
tliographically conect, while his family and
parents insist vehemently that Abraham nev
er in his life spoke anything else but a Ger
man-. Jewish jargon and some Russian, and
could never write otherwise than in Jewish
characters. Still more cause for the profess
or's wonderment was the statement of the
Jew himself in English that lie was not
Abraham Charkov at all, that those who pre
tend to be his wife and his parents were total
strangers to him. that he was not a native of
Orenburg, never lived there, and don’t know
how he got there, that he was not even a
Russian, but an Englishman, named Abraham
Durham, born in the town of New Westmin
ister. in British Columbia, where he resided
a fur-dealer, and where he had awifeandone
child living; and that for some inexplicable
cause he found himself changed in appear
ance, and that lie naturally is small in stat
ure, stout in body, with fair complexion, and
blonde hair and whiskers. The professor
and his associated doctors did not know what
to make of him, since he appeared to them a
very intelligent and educated Englishman ;
while the woman, her children, and the other
witnesses claimed him as the illiterate Russo-
German Jew, Abraham Charkov. lint while
the matter was being further investigated,
and the entire tamily kept in close confine
ment in St. Petersburg, Abraham was miss
ing one morning, having escaped on board
an English vessel bound for Hull. The case
was quietly dropped after his flight, but sub
sequent events were still more wonderful. In
187n, Prof. Orlow w-as sent to America by
the Russian Government to make inquiries
concerning the Inter-national Exhibition.
While in this city he found in a New York
paper the following startling account copied
from the New Westminister Press of British
Columbia:
“ In New Westminister an occurrence re
cently took place which caused great sensa
tion throughout the whole territory of British
Columbia. On the 22d day of September,
1874, a fur-dealer of said city was in a dying
condition, suffering from typhoid fever, and
no one. not even his physicians, seemed to
entertain any hope as to the possibility of
his recovery. Nevertheless the patient ral
lied and fully recovered. But wonderful to
relate, the patient, who was an intelligent
Englishman, had forgotten his mother
tongue and speaks a language which is un
derstood by no one around him, which at last
is recognized by an inhabitant of the city to
be a jargon of bud Jewish-German. The pa
tient, before his sickness a short, stout fel
low and a blonde, is now thin and lean like
a stick, refuses to recognize his wife and
child, but insists that lie has a wife and
children somewhere else. The man is believ
ed to be insane. And all at once a Europe
an-traveler arrives, marked with a genuine
Hebrew face, and claims to be the husband
of the wife of the fur-dealer. He speaks to
the woman in the same language her husband
was wont to speak to her; he trives her and
even his parents, who live in said city, but
who, of course, do not recognize him as their
son, the in6<t detailed and minute description
of bygone events, and insists upon being the
woman’s husband and the parents’ son.. The
poor woman is almost in peril of her reason, !
the etfeet of the trying ordeal. She inces
santly asks: Who is this fellow? Ilow
does he come to claim to be my husband ?
When she hears him speak and does not look
at his figure, she is ready to think that he is
her husband, but as soon as she looks at him,
the spell is broken; for, surely, this stranger
with the Jewish face can not be her husband,
whom she just nursed in his sickness. But
the man continues to press his claim, and
tells her the most delicate facts, evidently
known only to husband and wife.”
Prof. Orlow read and reread this account,
and the thought struck him that this seem
ingly impossible occurrence may have some
connection with the strikingly similar case
of the Orenburg Jew, Abraham Charkov, the
investigation of which had so puzzled him at
St. Petersburg. He sent a brief extract of it
to the home minister of Russia, and asked
permission to go to British Columbia and
continue his examination there. Leave was
granted him. and June last found him at New
Westminister. There, to his utter surprise,
he found the same man, lank, black-haired,
black-whiskered Orenburg Jew, Abraham
Charkov, who had escaped from St. Peters
burg, but now claiming to be Abraham Dur
ham. But there he also found the very rep
resentative of the man described to him by
the Jew as he ought to look, a man small in
stature, stout in body, with a fair complexion
and blonde hair, whom all his neighbors and
his wife and child said was Abraham Durham
an intelligent, educated Englishman, but who
since his paroxysm of the 22dday of Septem
ber, 1874, at high noon, had seemingly for
gotten all his knowledge of the English lan
guage, and was since speaking in a tongue
none could understand. Addressieg him, the
professor at once ascertained him to speak
the Jewish-German dialect prevalent at Oren
burg ; amd, asking him who lie was th -man
promptly replied that his name was Abraham
Charkov, a Jewish trader of means, born and
resided at Orenburg in Russia, where his pa
rents still lived, giving their correct names,
stating also that he had a wife and three
children there describing them minutely by
name and features. There was, at that mo
ment
A NON-ri.rSSKI) PROFESSOR.
There was evidently no fraud in the mat
ter because each of the two men was exceed
ingly earnest in his assertion that he was not
himself, but the other man. A strange cir
cumstance was also that the change in both
occurred precisely on the same day, the 22d
day of September, 1874 ; both were sick with
typhoid, and both presumed to be in the ag
onies of death. The distance between Oren
burg and New Westminister is about nine
thousand miles, but the two places are ex
actly opposite each other—direct antipodes.
Hence, Prof. Orlow came to the conclusion
that if such a thing as metempsychosis or
THE TRANSMIGRATION OF SOULS
from one human body to another be within
the range of possibilities, the case of the two
Abrahams in Russia and America seems to
be an evidence of it, since the soul-life or in
ner consciousness of the one has been com
pletely changed to that of the other without
any outward change in the appearance of the
men. was still more inclined to this be
lief from the fact that not only the day but
the very moment of the change in the two
men agreed. The Russian suffered this
change on the 22d of September, 1874. at
precisely midnight; the Englishman in Brit
ish Columbia underwent a like transforma
tion on the same day at noon, and the dif
ference of time and longitude is such that
when it is midnight at Orenburg it is noon
at New Westminister. May not the cause
for these occurrences be found in some yet
undiscovered influences of terrestrial nragne?
tism ? was one of the thoughts of the learned
professor, and he concluded to make exhaust
ive inquiries into the affair. For this pur
pose he prevailed upon both the men to ac
company him to Russia, which they did, re
maining for some days in this city, where the
professor finished the work for which he
originally was sent to this country by his
government. While there Prof. Orlow told
the account to several gentlemen whose ac
quaintance he had made, and they also spoke
to the two mixed-up Abrahams, coming to
the same conclusion with the professor that
there indeed was a case wholly inexplicable
to any known law of nature. Since last No
vember Prof. Orlow and the two wonders of
the age have been at St. Petersburg, where
the inquiry is progressing slowly.
Lowndes County Lakes.
A third lake in Lowndes county, Ga., has
been emptied of its waters b}- subterranean
passages during the last six months. What
is the matter? The Times has several times
alluded to the fact that Lowndes county had
within its borders numbers of lakes, from ten
to five hundred (and several beyond a thou
sand) acres in size, and can it be that these
lakes are all connected with a grand under
ground water course? It seems so. In Sep
tember last one dried up, or run off, and left
bushels upon bushels of fish in holes of water
about upon the bottom of the lake. In Jan
uary, another, about five miles from this did
the same thing, and now Grassy Pond, a
lake covering about five hundred acres just
between the two above mentioned, has left
its millions of fishes out of water. About
three weeks ago it was reported that the
waters of this lake were sinking below low
water mark, and every day or two we would
hear that it was still going down. Last Fri
day a report spread all over the county like
wild fire that Grassy Pond was low enough
to rake the fish oat with nets, and by sun
down over one hundred people had collected
at the place. Some had dip nets, some cast
nets, and there was one seine in the party.
The first haul with the seine caught enough
trout, jack, bream and speckle perch to make
a mess for every one present. During that
night all the water disappeared and there
were millions of fish left dead upon dry land.
Saturday, next day, the planters hitched up
their wagons and hauled load after load and
scattered them in their fields for manure, and
thousands were left at the mercy of buzzards,
hogs and other creatures of prey. Such
quantities of fish, and such destruction lias
never been known in the history of Lowndes
county. No one ever dreamed that there
were half the quailitity of fish in Grassy
Bond, though it was celebrated for its fine
fishing grounds in the spring of the year.
The other two lakes above mentioned did
not run thus completely dry, and the fish
that were not caught were saved by the
water returning in a few days from its hid
den retreat in the bosom of the earth. We
learn that Grassy Pond is filling up again,
but it is too late to save the finny tribe.
These statements are not at all exaggerated
and can be testified to by several hundred
people living in this county, though it is
marvellous to all.— Valdosta Times.
The Abbeville Press and Banner man has
been reading Munchausen. Hear him; “It
is said that Mr. YV. T. Head some time ago
turned an old sore-backed horse out to die,
and the animal had been forgotten until it
returned a few days ago with a small oak
growing out of its back. It is thought an
af'orn fell into it, from which the bush grew.”
HUMOROUS.
That Brindled Dog.
Yesterday morning a soap-haired young
man of eighteen was drawing a big brindled
dog around the City Hall Market, anxious to
find a purchaser. A corpulent old chap,
smoking a long pipe and dodging the rain,
finally halted the young man and said :
“My frent, how little you vants for dose
dog ?”
“ Two dollars will take him,” was the re
ply ; “ and a better dog never stood on four
legs and howled.”
44 Vhell, goom along mit me,” continued the
old chap, raising his umbrella. He paddled
a full mile through the pouring rain, the
young mau and the brindled dog at his heels,
and reaching home at last the dog was led
in, the old man refilled his pipe and sat down
and said :
44 Now, my frent, ish dose a goot dog ?”
44 He's the best kind of a dog,” was the re
ply-
-44 Does he keep tieves away from my
house ?”
“You bet he will! Why, he’d chaw up a
man quicker’n a flash !”
44 Does he keep der bat poys out of my
garten ?”
44 Well, you ought to see him go for a boy
once ! lie’s had his teeth into every boy in
Macomb county !”
44 Does he like my children ?”
44 Like ’em ? Why, that’s his great hold !
Nothing so pleases him as a house full of
children.”
The old man hesitated for a minute, and
then asked :
44 Can dose dog play on a fiddle ?”
“ Play on a fiddle ? Why—why—yes, sir,
he can ! Ho can play seven different tunes
on a fiddle!”
It was a big lie, but the soap-haired young
man was bound to make a sale if he had to
bury truth out of sight.
44 Can dose dog play on a horn in der prass
pand ?” asked the old man after a pause.
44 On a horn ? Why, he has led the Mt.
Clemens band for the last year! Yes, sir-e-e,
he can play on a horn with anybody!”
The old man was a little staggered, and he
waited quite a while before asking:
44 Can dose dog write ledders for me to my
prudder in Shermany ?”
44 Write ? Write letters ?”
44 Yajw.”
44 1 wish I had pen and paper here ! lie
writes the most beautiful hand you oversaw,
and he writes like lightning! I could hire
him out for SSO a month to keep books, but
I don’t want to work him too hard. Besides,
there’s a mortgage on my farm, and I must
have money to raise it.”
44 Der brice is $2 ?”
“ Only $2. He’s worth a hundred if he’s
worth a cent, but I’m forced to sell. If you
keep him till March I’ll buy him back and
give you S2OO for him.”
The old man smoked away for awhile and
then asked :
44 Can dose dog baint a house ?”
44 Paint a house ? I’d like you to see three
big houses he painted last week. lie’s as
good as three men, and he never wastes a
drop of paint. I’m in a hurry to catch the
train, and I’d like the money.”
44 Two dollar ?”
44 Yes, two dollars. You’ll never have
another such chance.”
The old mau made a motion towards his
wallet, but let his hand drop, and inquired :
44 Can dose dog shump over der City Hall ?”
This was a crusher. The young man knew
lie couldn’t beat it. and he replied :
44 No, I don’t think he can ; but I’ll war
rant him to jump forty feet and catch a fly !”
44 You gan duke dose dog away, my frent,”
said the old man.
“ You won’t take him ?”
44 No, zur; I vhant.s no dog what can’t
shump over der City Hall!”
44 But you made a fair bargain and said
you’d take him.”
14 I can’t help dot. Vlien I bays $2 for a
dog he shall be able to shump like a pird.”
And the young man dragged his brindled
dog out of the house and back to the market,
where he offered, him for fifty cents without
getting a buyer. —Detroit Free Press.

Tough on the Fish.
A devout clergyman sought every opportu
nity to impress upon the mind of his son the
fact that God takes care of His creatures;
that the falling sparrow attracts His attention,
and that His loving kindness is over all His
works. Happening, one day, to see a crane
wading in quest of food, the good man point
ed out to his son the perfect adaptation of the
crane to get his living in that manner. “See,”
said he, “ how his legs are formed for wad
ing ! what along slender bill he has! Ob
serve how nicely he folds his feet when pull
ing them out of the water! He does not
cause the slightest ripple! He is thus ena
bled to approach the fish without giving them
any notice of his arrival. My son,” said he,
“ it is impossible to look at that bird without
recognizing the goodness of God in thus pro
viding the means of subsistence.” “Yes,”
replied the boy, “ I think I see the goodness
of God, so far as the crane is concerned ; but
after all. father, don’t y T ou think the arrange
ment a little tough on the fish ?”
A countryman went to see his lady love,
and wishing to be conversational, observed,
‘ The thermomokron is twenty degrees above
selon this evening.” “Yes,” innocently re
plied the maiden, “such birds do fly higher
some seasons of the year than others.”
Why are many people like eggs ? Because i
