Cured by Faith. The most remarkable instance of, the ac beng Wealed by faith, we have ever known, occurred in this cogiry ecently. It iq qo remark agle that it msy be calle4 a1zost a p'ecl(, although thi days of inir &Ieon are past. And we *ould esitlte to give the following re port, knowing the incredulity of the puplic on this snjeot, of this regar* le cure it Itwas not wel a entic ed, and .e ac kwak hundelIs by *hom the 6tiftement can be authenticated. Mrs. Wimpey, wife of Col. John A. Wimpey, of Norcross, lias been qfflicted for twenty .year4 A' great 4i pbrtion of this time she has been eonfined to her bed, and una ble to walk a step. Even in her better moments she was only able ,to wak 4cros tho room support ed bysine :assistant. She is an -estimeifl woman and bore'her af flictions with rare christian forti tude, hardly hoping that she would ever be well again. She has lived in Dahlonega,4tlaAta, and for sev .eral years in Norcross, and has tried all the remedies known to medical science for relief, in vain. Neither a chango of atmosphere, the healing waters of mineral springs, or learning #ad '.experi ence of the professorscotrld bring any relief, and she was regarded iby all her acquaintances as incur able. During the recent District meet ing at Norcross, there was a re markable revival in progress. This good woman felt a deep interest in the great work, but was debarred in the priviege of an active partici )ation in it by her afflictions. One morning she was assisted into the parlor by her husband, and the family leaving her alone repaired to church. Left alone to her pri vate devotions, she suddenly felt her strength returning, and with out doubting that her prayers had at last been answered, she got up -and walked across*the room. Fill ed with rejoicing .at her sudden cure, she hastily dressed for church, and taking her Ril11e in her hand, hurried on to the House of G-od, where the eongregation 'was assembled. Before she arrived at the door she was recognized and .the rnews spread rapidly thvough the con gregation. The services were sus pended and her husband and some of her friends'hurried out to meet hier, whirle others sat still in blank astenishment. On she came, re fusing aill assistance to mount the steps, she eintered the church and wralked q>p to the alter, where she exhorted ~tlhe peeciibe with great ~power and eloquence. Such a scene has hecardly been witnessed ain this genearation. THow this wonderfid cur'e was ,effected remains a mysbery tto the people and yrobably to her. "[ ~was once blind but now I see,' said one of old, who~m the Savior had healed, and she can say "I was once sick but am new well,' anid the healing came as auiddenly as a diash of 'light. And her cur~e is plermanent. She now attends to her hous~ehold af f airs, . Visits her neighbois, waits Upon the' sick arid i regular at; tendant at churoh 'and Sunday School. Like many otl rs, 1we have not ha4 miq ronftIA.e In thes9 mi racklos cuted by faith and pray ei, of' which we read hi. s6me of the religious journals, but here is a well defined caseo that was uot the work of human agency, but was a remarkable manifestation of the interposition of Providence, that sets at naught the theories of hrin. Adam's Advantages. Adam missed a good many ver ations of spirits that are common to a man of this day. Adam never had to try to main tain a $5,000 apearance on $700 imcome. Adam never in a fit of abstract ion sat down upon a coil of barb ed fence wire. Adam never had to wear a col lar with saw teeth all around the ob-tusive edge of it. Adam never lived next door to a ian who was trying to learn to play on an accordoon. Adam never had to fasten one of his suspenders with a shingle nail and the other with a hair-pin. AdAm never got to the depot just in time to see the rear end of the rear car disappear around the wa ter tank. Adam never fell over a rocking chair while groping around in the dark after a bottle or paregoric. Adam never had to rock the cra die while Eve ran across the street, to borrow a cup of sugar from a neighbor. Adam never had his only pair of gum shoes eaten ip by a dog while he was spending an evening') with a friend. Adam never had to keep the ba by while Eve went out with a de termined cast. of coi ntenance to re form the world. Adam never sat up till 5 o'clock in the morning to get the returns from Ohio, and to at last learn that the other fellows had carried it. Adam never came home at a very late h)our from the bhdge to discov er that he had left his latch key in a ,pocket of his other pair of pants. Adam never had a tight bureau drawer, of which he was tugging, come out suddenly and set htim down with such vehemence as to kumock four square feet of p'laster ing off the ceiling. Adam never went down town~ trying to remember an injunction to get a . was hboard, a .pound of soap, a ball of tape, a bottile of in fant food, a spoeil of garnet sewing silk, a paper of hair-pins, two yar'ds of pink, -mosquito netting and a mnouset rap. "How ?do you prononce s-t--i-n g-y?" asked the teadher of the dunee of the class. The boy re plied: "It depends a .groat deal on whether the wor d .refers to .a person or a bee." --Women ornament their d tess es behind because they like to have nine things said about. them when their backs are turned.
