AN EXDRAOEDINAEY CURE.
Mr. Baring Gould tells in the Sunday Magazine of a country rector who fell ill with a quinsy that nearly choked him ; and his life was in imminent danger. An eld ''wise woman " named Sally was a visitor every day at the rectory, and was urgent to see the sick man. She was long refused admission, but finally was allowed to enter the sick room. Although warned not to speak to the patient, who was groaning almost in extremities, she raised her hand, and, pointing at him with one finger said : "If thou livest, O pass'n ! then thou livest ! If thou diest, O pass'n ! then thou diest !" The effect on the sick man, adds Mr. Gould, was — an explosion of laughter that burst the quinsy, and ensured his recovery.
