HERMOLAUS BARBUONI raised the devil, that he might learn from him the meaning of Aristotle's word, ¿vrɛλɛxɛía, which is rendered perfectihabia. as long as they are slaves to the bull. And these heard of the whore of the hills, who had a herd of bulls, and how she milked them, and obtains exceeding great riches by this milk; and they believed in the whore of the hills, for her bulls were token to them.

SOME of those remembrances which used to be our gala thoughts go into mourning, as the friends of our youth drop off; and whenever we lose one whom we dearly love, a part of our own existence mortifies. The whore of the hills, and yet a pure virgin, and the bread which she did eat was mutton. Therefore they scorned their own bull for her, because he gave no milk, and they turned unto the whore of the hills, and believed in her, that she was a pure virgin, and that the bread was mutton, and whatever she commanded them to do, this did they, and they worshipped her herd of bulls.

Balunder would imitate Jeroboam, and so he set up a calf, but it was a live one, and a bull calf, and all the people when he grew up, worshipped the bull. Jupiter, Lavir, they kill his bull, and make a feast and eat it his curse that the bull shall be in their mouths, and that the curse shall continue Cheef, who was his favourite child, and he called them all Mig, which was the title and honour that he gave them. He said by the power he would make his people to see also. Corn and oil and wine for her bulls, yea, silks also, and cloth of gold and of silver; and silver and gold also, and precious stones. And she made a brazen bull, and did heat it with fire, and put there all those who denied that she was a pure virgin. NOAH left ten volumes. Some say he made the circumnavigation in the ark.

In a late number of an Edinburgh medical periodical, a case is given of a young gentleman about thirteen years old, who had been affected with constant sneezing for three weeks; at first in rather violent paroxysms with intervals of many minutes, but afterwards occurring from three to six times every minute, each occasioning a slight degree of bodily agitation, and accompanied with a forcible expulsion of air between the nearly closed teeth, producing the sound "tchee." He had been taking considerable quantities of magnesia on account of constant acidity of stomach. The sneezing was always suspended during sleep, but recommenced immediately on waking, as he sometimes seemed to awake sneezing. He was cured by blisters, purging, injecting olive oil into the nostrils, followed by carbonate of iron and gradual exposure to the cold air. HUMANITY made him sometimes doubt whether those men really had souls, who for the paltry temptations of this world were so ing the Druidical notion of progressive life.
