THE HUMANITY OF CHRIST
With a Man's Soul and a Man's Body, the SonofGodFeltandThoushtLikeMen. ZIrs. L. 0. Kolinson's Interesting Discourse on the Power and Efficacy of Prayer Do Angela Have a Heal Iiittence? CHRIST AS A MAN. How Jesus AYa Itr?arded by Ills Disciples Ills Feeling for Weak llaroanlry. Rev. Matthew L. Haines, D. D., preached at the First Presbyterian Church, yesterday forenoon, on "The Humanity of Christ." the text being Hebrews li, 1C: "For verily He took not on Him the nature of angels, but He took on Him tbe seed of Abraham." Dr. Haines said that living faith inJesns Christ was the center and soul of all genuine Christianity. It may be kindled in the heart of a little child or an illiterate slave. Dot to faith should bo added knowledge, which will, in turn, confirm and strengthen faith. The niorowo know of Christ the more easily and utterly do we find that "we can trust in Him to meet the profoundest needs of onr lives. ' Christian theology has. as its chief task, tip gaining of a clear understanding of the person and work of Jesus Christ. However we maybe divided about forms of church government, customs and usages in Christian life, or in the interpretation of a number of secondary matters in doctrine and practice, yet we stand on one platform when we come near to Him in whom our faith centers. All Christians are substantially united here. There have been through these 1,800 years a few who have not risen up to tbe faith of Peter "when he cried in the ecstacy of devotion: "Thou art the Christ, the son of the living God." Yet these few have been as a small fringe on the great body of the Christ universal. Garment-hem believers wo may call them whose faith is undeveloped, and dominated largely by earthly conceptions of Christ, ana yet the faith may be genuine. Jesus Christ did not require thoroughly developed belief in Him. He Trould recognize and bless even these. There have been some who said our Lord had a true human body but not a human mind, will and emotions; that the divine mind in Him swallowed up or crowded out ine numan. uui ine gospeis snows us mat Christ had a man's soul as well as a man's body. He had a mind like ours which was joyful at times and depressed at times; a heart that went out with special tenderness to a congenial nature a heart that recoiled at the thought of the approach of death; which in all its hopes and fears was as acute, and sensitive, and human as any heart that ever beat in the breast of man. His growing childhood was passed in and about the village of Nazareth, a quiet country place. Amid the vine-clad hills, rich and fragrant with the fruits of the olive, the lig, and the orange, the "child grew and waxed strong in spirit." Th6 companions with whom He played were the childron of the humble peasants, who lived by pasturing flocks on the mountains or cultivating vineyards and olives on the lower slopes. lie was taught as other Jewish children were, and learned a trade, which was one of the requirements of Jewish law. On the Sabbath lie attended the services of the synagogue and heard the law and the prophets read. His human powers and faculties, physical and mental,, steadily matured, and the more that Ho became known among His friends and neighbors the more was he esteemed and loved "And Jesus increased in wisdom, and stature, and in favor with God and man." His disciples looked upon Him as a man of like passions with themsives, made like tin to them in all respects except sin. They camo to see iu Him gradually, also, something more than this. But they never lost sight of the fact that He was a true brother man with them. Even in His miracles, which showed He had superhuman power. He did them in such a way as to show His humanLeartedness. His fellow-feeling showed itself in the repeated miracle of the loaves and fishes (He had known what hunger was.) This was also shown in the sudden impulse which led Him to arrest a funeral train at the gates of Nain, and in the tears which fell at the tomb of His friend Lazarus. Both His tears and His friendship proclaim the man. He formed personal attachments; He clung to His friends; He drew them into special intimacies and con fidences. His heart went out in fondnessfor children and women, and they came fearlessly to His arms. He sought out especially v those who had been dragged lowest by the llesh. its affections and lusts, and it was the touch of His hand and the thrill of His voice which awakened the smothered aspirations of their natures. The Karl nf Shaftesbury was the philanthropist of his generation. No man, it was said, had such skill in reaching and rescuing men sunk to the lowest. A man inst out of prison went to him for counsel. Years afterward that man, redeemed to an uprigot and useful life, was asked how his reformation come about. "Why," he said, "it was through my talk with the Earl when I went to him just out of prison." "What did the Earl eayt" was the next inquiry. "It was not." said the man, "so much anything he said, but he pnt his arm around me and said. 'Jack, we'll make a man out of you yet It was his touch that did it" THE POWER OF 'PRAYER. The Consolation Its Indulgence Gives to the Christian Mrs. Robinson's Talk. The auditorium of the Central-avenue M. E. Church was crowded to its fullest capacity yesterday morning. Mrs. L. O. Robinson delivered a thoughtful and earnest discourse on the subject of "Prajcr." Prayer, tbe speaker said, was a means of bringing the soul in direct communication with . God, and directing the mind to the higher conditions of life; but prayer must, in the first place, spring from sincerity of purpose and faith to gain the sympathies of God on behalf of the tnppliant. It is the truly penitent who find the solace and comfort in an appeal to the throno of heaven, and without faith in its eflicacy it is blasphemy to enter into a a church and kneel down to utter a mere formula of words, but the whole heart and mind should be centered in their utterance, and when this is dona and the issue left with God the appeal will be answered. A time should be set apart for prayer, and the mind should be in a fit state to enter into communion with God. Without nbdief in prayer life has lost its strongest and best support in the midst of its many trials and afflictions, and aid to a righteous course of existence, and no one can lead a pure and holy life without frequent recourse to prayer. Through prayer the world has progressed to its present high state of civilization, and tbrough praver alone the ideal of tho Christian will be realized. In all the ditliculties. trials and temptations which beset humanity through life, a direct appeal to the throne of God. made in faith and sincerity, will be found a source of unfailing relief and comfort and a safeguard against sin in all its form. A life without prayer is a life without hope, but with it is an ine promise 01 au . eternity a life everlasting. Iu every important step in life, in time of sickness or adversity, in danger, on all occasions fraught witu iraportace to our welfare and existence, the guidance and advice of God should bo afked, and if no visible token or recognition should be granted to the prayer, yet He doeth all things for the best, would watch over, guide and guard ns in all things. The speaker further exhorted her hearers to pray unceasingly both for themselves and for others, so that with the future shall come the certain reward of the great hereafter. DO ANGELS EXIST? Iter. J. II. Ranger's Sermon on the Occasion of the Festival of St. Michael's. Yesterday, in the Protestant Episcopal calendar, was tho festival of fit Michael and all angels. At Christ Episcopal Church Iter. J. H. Kanger preached a sermon pertinent to the occasion, his subject being "Do Such Beings as Angels Really Exist!" Mr. Ranger took as his text: Rev., v, 11: "And I beheld and I heard the voice of
many angels round about the throne and the beasts and the elders, and the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands." He held that there was a world of. spiritual creatures between man and God. and that the Christian belief in angels rested upon the ground of faith and nnon express scriptural authority. The doctrine of augels, like every other mystery, has been' obscured by human invention. Enough has been revealed to call forth wondering interest and till mankind with a profound sense of the greatness and glory of the spiritual kingdom. Angels are revealed as having form, as using human speech and as being sensible to touch. They are not represented with wings, and the popular idea of winged angels is derived from the cherubim (Exodus xxv, 20) and the seraphim (Isaiah vi. 2), but is never suggested by any of the narratives of angelic visits to this world and to its inhabitants. But two angel are introduced' by name Michael and Gabriel. With respect to their appearance agels are awe-inspiring. Daniel was prostrated. Wherever they appear they are radiant with light. With respect to their nature they are finite, progressive, capable of sinning II Peter, ii, 4. Their great service is the worship of Godjand the Lamb, but more particularly is revealed to us the nature of their services to men. Angels aro friends of the devout. "The angel of the Lord encampeth round about them that fear Him and delivereth then." They take part in Christian worship and rejoice over penitent sinners. They bear the souls of the redeemed into paradise and are employed as special ministers for executing divine justice. "And immediately the angel of the Lord smote him because he gave not God the glory: and he was eaten of worms and gave up the ghost." Acts xii, 1-23.1 As the transient character of this earthly scene and its darkness are felt then faith apprehends the doctrine of angels more vividl3. Hut this sense is mingled with fear, for there are also evil and foul angels, diabolical spirits serving their master, Satan, and every sin is an open door for their entrance. On the other hand, every act of righteousness, every right use of the means of ' grace is a vantage ground for Christ's holy angels. The joy, tho greatness, the wisdom and the glory of angels are revealed lessons to us as to tho fruits of praver and of every righteous endeavor. The music incident to the service was specially good. Miss Jannette Hal ford sung as the offertory "One Sweetly Solemn Thought." SUNDAY IN LONDON.
Rer. E. C. Evans's Observations of How the Sabbath Is Spent In the Great Metropolis. Rev. E. C. Evans's lecture, last evening, on "A Sunday in London" attracted a large audience. He began by saying that this is a century of great cities, and no city has had so large a growth in the last hundred years as London. Its police limits embrace a territory thirty miles in "diameter; its population is five and a half millions. On the whol4 it is the . most interesting city in the world for a stranger to visit. Its beginnings antedate the days of the C&sars. It may be said to be the largest, the wealthiest and. the wickedest city of the civilized world. One-third of the crime of the kingdom of Great Britain is committed in London. A striking feature of the Sundays in this vast city is their quiet; all business places are closed. The speaker thought it was a dead town when he went out on the Strand Sunday morning. No Sunday papers are sold except the English edition of the New York Herald, and that is sold under protest, but there is no law against its sale on that day. The main part of the lecture was taken np with an account of the church services which the speaker attended. An interesting description cf Mr. Spurgeou's Metropolitan Tabernacle and its distinguished minister was given. This edifice, which is very plain, will hold 6,000 people, and it is always crowded. Mr. Spurgeon shows the infirmities of years and hard work. His preaching was simple, practical, devout, buttit was not characterized by pathos or eloquence. At least fifty strangers from America and other countries called upon him in his private room after the service. This is a usual occurance every Snnday. ' Canon Liddon is the most popular freacher in London to-day for the intelectual classes. He draws immense audiences in St. Paul's Cathedral whenever he is advertised to preach, which is about twelve times a year. The ritual service in this church is chanted by a choir of boys with most impressive ettect. A service in a Welsh Congregational .church was next described. The houso was smaller than the two alluded to above, but it was tilled with an intelligent audience. The pastor, whose name was Evans, is one of the most eloquent preachers in London, possessing the vigor and fervor peculiar to that nationality. He spoke in the Welsh language. There aro 1,100 churches and chapels in the city, wholly inadequate to accommodate the population. The cityhasa great mass of paganism as ignorant and depraved as tho heathen of Africa. No city has secured more benefits from the gospel than London, and none needs its regenerating influence, more. The lecturer concluded with the remark that however the forms of worship might differ it was the old gospel that the great fireachers were proclaiming. The next ecture will be "A Sunday in Liverpool." THE SEASON'S WIND UP. Last Week of the League Championship Contest What Coogan Has to Say. The tsing week of the League championship season opens to-daj when the Philadelphia club will cross bats with the Hoosiers at the Seventh-street grounds. They will play to-day, to-morrow and Wednesday, weather permitting, and will be followed on Thursday, Friday and Saturday by the Washington, who will close the season with Captain Glasscock's men. Henry Boyle has asked to pitch in to-day's game, and expresses a determination to win every game he pitches from this out. and it is probable that his request will bo granted. Rusie, too, is in excellent condition, and as there is still a chance for the bovs to beat out Pittsburg they maybe expected to play the game "for all there is in it." No clnu in the League is playing better ball than the Hoosiers, and thej' should be encouraged by good attendance. Play will be called at 3:30 o'clock. Mr. James J. Coogan, owner of tho grounds alleged to have been leased in: behalf of the Brotherhood players, confirms the statement concerning the lease, and says that Erastus Wimau, the millionaire enthusiast, and himself are giving the projectors financial backing. He adds that John B. Daj-'s lease of tho new Polo grounds expires in Jul, lS'Jl, and that it will not be renewed. Cincinnati has, according tothe Enquirer, given up all hope of being in the League next season, and that paper goes far enough to pay that there never was anv probability of such a thing, and that all'the talk of it has been indulged in by space-writers in the Eastern papers. The Enquirer is eminently correct. It is more than probable that most of the sensational gossip about the Brotherhood combine emanates from the same source. Mr. James J. Cooiran, Will Johnson and others to the contrary notwithstanding. The Blake Streets defeated the Sunflowers yesterday. Score, 8 to 6. Yesterday's Association Games. At G lo faster, X. J.

Friends of Temperance. The Blue Ribbon clubs of tbe city and many who are in sympathy with the Murphy methods of saving men from drink, met at Masonic Hall yesterday. The meeting held was in the nature of a jubilee. Tho Haughville League was also represented. Short talks were given by members of the league, and great enthusiasm was manifested. The lino of work laid down for this winter is to unite all of the leagues in a union effort. Masonic Hall having been leased for the winter for that purpose. In a short talk by C. fc. Reynolds, emphasis was laid upon following up the work on the same line as heretofore followed, leaving out all sectarian and political bias. It is
evident that a great workisto he done this winter, and that gospel temperance as advocated and worked by the leagues of this city will win every time. Next Sabbath Rev. Mitchell and W. P. Fishback will address the meeting at 4 p. m. THE COURT RECORD. SUPREME COURT OPINIONS. 118T9. Emma L'Hommeuieu et al. vs. C, W. & M. Railway Company et al. Madison C. C. Affirmed. Berkshire, J. WThen in 1SC2 a court ordered the sale of property by an administrator to pay debts of tbe estate, without having jurisdiction over the subject-matter of the pet itiou, tho proceedings being void, the title and right to the possession of the real estate was in the heirs at all times after the death of the decedent, and when the purchasers went into possession their possession was wrongful. Tho right of action then accrued to the heirs. The twenty years' statute of limitations bars such right of action. (2 G. and II., p. ICS, Sec. 211.) 2. When the source of title is alleged, and the title itself put in issue in a partition proceeding, the judgment is conclusive as to the interests and titles of the parties to the proceeding. 13108.

The motion for a new trial in the matter of Mary and Willie Kelley, recently given to tho Board of Children's Guardians, was overruled. The Republican Administration. Baltimore American. The State Department, since the incumbency of Mr. Blaine, has indulged in no fussy fulminations of blank cartridges, while other countries were robbing tho country and its citizens of rights and privileges, but has gone to work with dignity and decision aud adjusted difficulties wherever possible, and has made the best of a perplexing situation whenever immediate settlement was impossible. The same policy has been apparent in the management of the finances and other departments of the government. It is the difference between statesmanship aud noisy empiricism, and it is this which appeals to the intelligence of the public and induces the voter in those States where prejudice does not thrive to stand by the grand old party. It is essentially the party of the progressive people of the couutry, those wlio wish to see Americans the most prosperous and happy race on the face of the earth, and its principles are sure to prevail. A Hoonier Idea Taking Root. Troy Times. Some of the Indiana school-teachers aro favoring the idea of bavins instruction given on the effects of tight-lacing, using cosmetics or employing any other means for conveying a false impression as to the human form and appearance. The probability is the notion came from the plan of teaching the injury inflicted by alcohol on the human system. Physiology should be taught in all the public schools, and under the head of that subject is the proper place for giving instruction on the wrongs done to the human organism by adopting false fashions and following uuhealthful practices. The Snake Editor's Had Break. Boston Advertiser. There is such a thing as sacrificing accuracy in the interests of sensationalism. The 6uake editor of the New York Telegram seems to be a nice, bright young man, with quite wonderful powers of description. But when, in the heated climax of a dreadful tale concerning the actions of an irritated museum rattlesnake, he graphically describes how the reptilo "plunged its venomous rattler into the keeper's hand," qualms of doubt must inevitably steal over the interested reader. Very Odd Names. Pittsburg Chronicle, "I think you have such qneecnames out here," remarked an Eastern mau to a resident of Seattle. , "You do, do you," replied the Chinooker; "where might you be ironi!'' "1 am from Molechunkamunk, Me. Why dovouaskf" "O nothing." A Timid Soul. Washinxtoa Press. Ex-President Cleveland calls protectionist Democrats "timid souls who long for the flesh-pots of vacillating shifts and evasions." In bis first annual message Mr. Cleveland echoed S. J. Randall; in his third. John G. Carlisle; in his letter of acceptance he straddled. Recalling Ills Banquet Speech. Philadelphia Press. From the fact that Chief-jnstice Fuller is about to abandon his residence in Washington and return to his old one in Chicago it is inferred that he is tired of treading the wine-press alone. There was never any necessity for his doing any such treading in the first place. Another Trust Gone to. Grass. Sprit) gflf Id Republican. The Watch Trust, as ugly and unprincipled a trade conspiracy as has been organ
ized in the country, is said to be going to pieces, having failed in its attempts to crush the Dueber caso-works, which were expelled from the trust about the time that the factory in this city was moved to Canton, O. A number of jobbers have now broken away from tbe combination, and prices on trust watches are coming down. THE MODERN SAMSON.
The Strongest Mau In the World and Ills Prodigious Feats in London. Chicago Journal. Thero are many Delilahs, but onlv one Samson, and he is performing at the Royal Aquarium in London, at present, where his feats of strength are certainly of an original and marvelous character. The spectator, as he watches, feels that it is better to be friendly with such a mau, for with a blow of his list he breaks an iron chain that will bear a pressure of C.000 pounds. With his two hauds grasning a short chain of 2,500 pounds ascertained pressure, he makes a momentary effort and pulls the iron chain to bits, and in what seems the most wonderful feat namely, fastening two tight iron chain bracelets or armlets around his biceps the spectator may view the process from beginning to end. One hears the strong man take a long breath, sees the muscles of his arm growing bigger and bigger, the cords of his neck swelling with the sustained effort, his face crimsoning, and then in the silence those nearest the stage enn hear a curious little sundering snap. It is the double-chain armlet that has broken and that the next second falls, ringing, to tho floor. When Samson's fist is clinched ready to strike the measurement of his upper arm around biceps and triceps is nineteen and a half inches, which, we may casually remark, is considered a tolerablo waist tor a young lady. After some of his minor feats if such displays can be called minor Samson took a penny piece from one of the audience and at one trial bent it with his lingeru as one may bend a railroad ticket, held it up to view for a second and then deliberatelybroke it in half and returned the pieces to the owner. A very littlo practice will convince amateurs of the hopelessness of breaking pennies with finger and thumb. Tho strong man next bent a four-foot iron gas pipe round his neck, and cheerfully straightened it again by repeated blows on his left arm, such arm being for the nonce a species of anvil. I onrteen men came upon the stage by invitation to pull against him, but Samson, not deeming them enough, or sizing up the athletic capabilities with a professional eye, expressed a wish for four more. These men he divided into nine a side, the two sides nearly the width of a man's stretch apart, and each side being provided with and grasping a strong and lengthy iron rod. Before placing himself between them, Samson stimulated their ardor by promising 100 to them if he failed to move them, and apparently there was a grateful determination on the men's faces to win the pour boire. Then thero was a short, sharp struggle; the men held their ground for a brief space, were pulled together, and tho next moment pulled apart, and finally, swaying as they went, were carried away by the intensity of one straining man in their midst. Samson is a man of thirty-one, of French origin, a native of Alsace-Lorraine. Ho goes from England to America. m At fifteen years of ago he entered the circus as an athlete and pulled against horses and elephants; at eighteen he commenced to wrestle, and from that time to the present he has left untried no means whereby ho can maintain, train and develop his extraordinary strength. The Ministers Ahead. Philadelphia Press. The Civil-service Chronicle, a paper published in Indianapolis, and devoted to the principle of civil-service reform, recently suggested that the ministers of the United States should preach a sermon on that subject. The ministers of Indianapolis, however, donot apparently indorse the sugfestion. In interviews published in the ndianapolis Sentinel, one of them says he thinks that President Harrison can adjust tho question without his intervention; another refuses to discuss any phase of politics in his pulpit, while a third asserts that he preaches the truth fifty-two Sun- . days in the year, and sees no reason why he should make a distinction in favor of civilservice reform. The preachers appear to have the better side of the aigument in this matter. It is plain that sentiment in favor of the reform is steadily growing, but this growth can be very.easily checked by the indiscreet ardoi of some of its professed friends. A Double Pair. New York Sun. Gazzam I have just thought of a strange paradox. It is this: If a man's left hand is amputated his right becomes his left hand. Snooper I, too, have thought of a paradox. "What is it!" "Two physicians." It took Gazzam half an hour to see tho point. Gone West. Atlnntio Monthly, It was on the island of Grand Manan, down on the bay of Fundy, last summer, that a comment was made on the scarcity in the community of young people of both sexes. "How is it," we asked, "that wo see so few young men and women here?" "Well," the captain replied, "a great many have married and gone west.' "West?" we said; "to what part of the West!" "Well" said tho captain, "mostly to Boston." " Where British Loyalty Doesn't Count. Baltimore American. Some British-Americans in Massachusetts will not vote for Mr. Brackctt because of his slight to the Queen in preferring a Land League meeting to her jubilee banquet. It is quite interesting to know that loyalty to Queen Victoria is a qualification for American candidates. Of course, only ignorant Erejudice would regard it as a reasonable ar to American citizenship. , Mourning a Shattered Idol. Atlanta Constitution. After great men are dead there is no excuse for publishing all their private letters. The St. Louis Globe-Democrat publishes a letter from Andrew Jackson, written in 1801), in which he announces his determination to go into the whisky-distilling business. Is there any good reasou for printing such a letter at this late date? The New Order of Things. Albany Journal. Channcey M. Depew's address at Saratoga yesterday was the first 'comprehensive premutation of . what President Harrison is accomplishing in the lino of constructive statesmanship. Patronage is going to the rear and policy is comingto the front. - It's Ours by Right. Anyhow. Kansas City Journal. The complaint that the United States is "trying, through the pan-American conference, to monopolize the South American trade comes with bad grace from a greedy little inland like England, whose trade tentacles reach around the world.

KEWSrArEU 11 RUT AL.IT Y.
A Sample of the Warfare Made by the Democratic and Mugwump Press. 'Gath,' in Cincinnati Enquirer. Upon the ship Eider I met a voung officer of the nav3 named John Parker, lie was returning with his wife to the United States, and all that was known of either of them was that his wife's mother was very ill in the island of Nantucket. It was, perhaps, a week after we had come on shipboard that some one discovered that Mr, Parker had been the secretary of the late American, British and German conference in Berlin, which settled the Samoan affairs in the most comfortable way for tbe United States. The last day we were on the ship it turned out that Mrs. Parker was the niece of Mrs. President Harrison. With perfect modesty and almost with apprehension this little family discovered that their important connection . was made known. The pilot now came on board ship, and among lour newspapers he produced were two, each containing an editorial attack upon President Harrison for having appoiuted his relatives to office, and in the list was the name of Lieutenant Parker. Every American on the vessel who understood the subject felt outraged. Here was a man coming home, after rendering signal service to his country forno otherpay than that of his naval commission, who had not, indeed, seen his country for two or three years, having been almost two years in Samoa and been distinguished for having attended the three American commissioners- and fortified them with, knowledge, and made his impression as well, as a well-ordered, stern and manly fighting man, and his identification was a Drutal attack upon a subject over which he had no control. In fact, his slight connection with the President's family, bis having married Mrs. Harrison's niece, had been to his detriment when Mr. Blaine suggested him on account of his thoroughness of experience at the Samoan islands as the proper man to be secretary of the commission. . We Americans had just como from a scene of quite a different character. The Princo of Wales had solicited and obtained from the British Parliament frJOO.OOO a year extra pay for the- dower of his children, though one of these had. just married one of the wealthiest nobles and subjects in the kingdom. The son-in-law of the Prince of Wales, in spite of some small opposition in Parliament, had been instantly raised to be a duke, and bis wife's allowance, which was left to her father to parcel out. was to be $15,000 a year. No son of the Prince of Wales, nor that Princo himself, could have earned his salt at the Berlin conference like the young American lieutenant. No scion of a royal house in Europe would be made secretary of such a commission, except in a purely honorary capacity, for none of them have the worldly sen so to acquit themselves of a real responsibility. It is greatly to our credit that our Presidents have connections who can take the first place abroad, if not at home. Under any other form of government than that which we now have these connections would have every place of trust and power. Instead of being lieutenants in the navy they would be admirals, and command fleets and only ships of the first-class. Advice to J&otliers. Mrs. Winslow's soothing syrup shonld always be used when children are cutting teeth. It relieves the little sufterer at once; it produces natural quiet sleep by relieving the child from pain, and the little cherub awakes as "bright as a button." It is very pleasant to taste. It soothes the child, softens the gums, allays all pain, relieves wind, regulates the bowels and is the best known remedy for diarrceha, whether arising from teething or othe causes.

To be freed from the dangers of suffocation while lying down; to breathe freely, sleep soundly and undisturbed; to rise refreshed, head clear, brain active and free from pain or ache; to know that no poisonous, putrid matter denies the breath and rots away the delicate machinery of smell, taste and hearing; to feel that the system does not, through its veins and arteries, suck up the poison that is sure to undermine and destroy, is indeed a blessing beyond all other human enjoyments.
