A SEKMOX TO SOLDIERS.

DR. TALMAGE IN FULL REGIMENTALS. Thf Washington tight Artillery and the Richmond (") Grays Attend Services at the Brookl jo Tabernacle Our Zone and Onr Country. i he Rev. Dr. Talmage addressed a large nnlience of eoldiers last Sunday night in t Brooklyn tabernacle. At 7 o'clock the Thirteenth "ew York regiment assembled in their armory, and by ihat time their visitore had donned their full-dress uniform, with handsome light-colored frock coats and fatigue caps, in preparation for the Lig service at the tabernacle. The Thirteenth wore their full-dress blue uniforms, and turned out to the number of 750 men. A contingent of the veterans were in the line. A great crowd followed them from the armory doordown to the tabernacle, where a still greater throng surged about the doors and hundreds turned away unable to gain admittance. The body of the auditorium was reserved for the soldiers, the field and staff and commissioned olfirere of Col. Austen's command, and the "Washington light infantry occupying the center pews in front The pulpit was decked with the national and regimental colors. Mayor Chapin, escorted by several officers, entered the church at the head of the procession. The militia-meu remained standing until the last of their numlier had reached their places, and then at the command given by Col. Austen, "battalion, attention ! be seated," all sat down at once. There were nearly six thousand persons in the building, including the Kichrnond Grays of Virginia, and many Foldiers from all parts of the country. Chaplain Talmage appeared in full uniform. He announced "My Country, 'Tis of Thee," for the opening hymn, which was sung with enormous effect. The c hap!ain selected as his text the following passage: We were bindin? sheaves in the fiel!, and lo, E?y sheaf arose, and also stood upright; and, behold, your t heaves stood round about, and made obeisance to my sheaf. Geuesis ixxvii, 7. In the early part of his eertnan Dr. Talmage said : "Comrades of the Thirteenth regiment af the National cuard and our welcome piests of the Washington liht infantry and also the welcome Kichrnond Grays of Virginia here present You are with others the appointed defenders of our nation. Is it worthwhile? Is that which you protect of enough influence to demand all this time and expense, these prolonged drills, and, if need W, the exposure to peril? Aye. I shall show you that you are se t for the defense of the grandest nation and the best institutions cn the round earth, and that all other national prosperities mnet bow to our prosjierity, the Italian sheaf, the British pheaf, the Spanish sheaf and the French sheaf, and all the other sheaves must bow to our American sheaf." The sermon showed graphically that of the two continents the Western is the more favored ; that the zones the temperate is the most desirable and that the United States forms the best part of he American continent. Among other things he said : "Soldiers, of such a ration, so free, so pranci, so glorious, you are the sworn defenders. May there be no use for your fwerd or musket, except such use as you will be called this week to make of them in holid.iy commemoration. Hut be not deceived. It may not always be so prosperous. If it work righteousness our government will live. If it forsake God and the right it will perish. Some governments have celebrated their fourth and fifth centennial and yet vanished. There has been great mortality among republics and monarchies. Some of them were aseassinated and some destroyed by their own hand. Let me call the roll of some of the dead civilizations and some of the dead cities. Babylon! Answer! A city five times larger than London and twelve times larger than New York. Walls 373 feet high and (3 feet thick. Twenty-five burnished gates on each side, with streets running clear through to corresponding gates on the other side. A city ot bazars and of market places, unrivaled for aromatics and unguents and high-mettled horses with grooms by their tide, and thyme wood and African evergreens and Ktryptian linen and all styles cf costly textile fabric and rarest purples, extracted from the shell fish on the Mediterranean coast, and rarest Bcarleta taken from brilliant insects in Spain, and i vories brought from successful elephantine hunts in India; and diamonds, whose flash was a repartee to the sun. Fortress within . fortress, erabattlement rning above embattlement. Great capital of the ages. But one night, while honest citizens were asleep, but all the caloons of Saturnalia were in full blast, and at the king's castle they had tiled the tankards for the tenth time, and reeling and guffawing and hiccoughing around the 6tate table were the rulers of the land, Gen. Cyrus ordered his besieging army to take shovels and spades, and they diverted the river from its usual channel into another direction so that the forsaken bed of the river became the path on which the besieging army entered. When the morning dawned tiie conquerors were inside the outside trendies. Uabylon has fallen. Egyptian civilization, ftand up. "Dead!" answer the ruins of Karnac and Luxor, and from seventy pyramids on the east Bide of the Nile there comes up a great chorus, crying, "Head, dead!" Assyrian empire, Ptand up and ar.sv.er. "Dead!" cry the charred ruins of Nineveh. After (WO years of magnificent opportunity, dead. Israelitish kingdom, stand up. After 250 years of divine interposition and of miraculous vicissitude and of heroic behavior and of appalling depravity, dead. Phoenicia, stand up and answer. After inventing the alphabet and giving it to the world, and sending out her merchant caravans in one direction to Central Asia, and sending out her navigators to the Atlantic ocean in another direction, dead. Pillars of Hercules and rocks on which the Tyrian fishermen dried their nets, all answer, "Dead I'hwenica." Athens, after Phidias, after Demosthenes, after Miltiades dead. Sparta, after Leoni'las, after Kurvpides, after Salamis, after Thermopylae, dead. Koman empire, stand up and answer. Empire once bounded by the British channel on the north, by the Euphrates on the east, by the great Sahara desert in Africa on the south, by the At- ; lantic ocean on the west. Home of three preat civilizations, owning all the then discovered world that was worth owning. Koman empire, answer. Gibbons, in his "Rise and Fall of the Roman Empire," says "Dead !" and the forsaken seats of the ruined Coliseum, and the skeleton of the aqueducts and the miasma of the Campagna, and the fragments of the marble baths, and the ngeless piers of the Bridge Triamphalis and the Mamartine prison, holding no more apostolic prisoners, and the silent Forum, and Basilica of Contantine, and the arch of Titus, and the Pantheon come in with preat chorus, cryinjr: "Dead, dead!" After Horace, after Virgil, after Tacitus, after Cicero, dead. After Horatius on the bridge, and Cincinnatus, the farmer oligarch; after Pompey, after Scipio, after Cassius, after Constantine, after Caesar, dead. The war ii'ö cf Kome flew so high it waa blinded

by the sun, and came whirling down through the heavens, and the owl of desolation anil darkness built its nest in the forsaken eyrie. Mexican empire, dead. French empire, dead. You see, my friends, it is no unusual thine for a government to perish, and in the same necrology of dead nations, and in the same graveyard ot expired governments will go the Lnited States of America if it forgets God and declines its mission to emancipate and evangelize the world. Lord God of Bunker Hill and Lexington and Yorktown and Monmouth and Valley Forge! To Thee we commit the destiny of this nation. Put His name in your pronunciamentos,. pi ilia name on your ensigns, put His naruo on your city and state and national enterprises, put His name in your hearts. To most of us this country was the cradle and to most of us it will be the grave. We want the same glorious privileges which w e enjoy to go down to our children. We cannot sleep well the lat sleep, nor will the pillow of dust be easy to our heads, until we are assured that the God of our American institutions in the past will be the God of our American institutions in the days that are to come. Oh, when all the rivers which empty into the Atlantic and Pacific s-ias stialt pull on factory bandr, when all the great mines of gold and silver and iron and coal shall be laid bare for the nations, when the last swamp shall be reclaimed and the lat jungle cleared and the last American desert Edenized, and from sea to sea the continent shall be occupied by more than twelve hundred million souls, may it be found that moral and religious influences were multiplied in more rapid ratio than the population. And then there shall be four doxologies coming from north and south and east and west four doxologies rolling toward each other and meeting mideontinent with such dash of holy joy that they shall mount to the throne." "And heaven's h'ph arch resound acain. With Teat-eon earth, j; od will to iuea.'"

HUMOR IN THE PULPIT. Eiperiencw of a Converts Parajrapher Who TnrnMl Preacher. Inter Ocean. Among those in attendance at Moody's training school is aconverted infidel editor whose career has bordered closely upon the extraordinary. We refer to E. P. Brown of Indianapolis, who a few years ago was the editor of the Cincinnati Snn'iv Brrnkfatt Taf!e, and more recently of the Chicago I.ciljr. From a childhood of such poverty that he never owned a tov

that eost money, Mr. Brown worked his way upward step by step from a journeyman priuter and country editor until he stood at the head of large metropolitan Cuhlishing interests. A few years ago he ecame possessed of a handsome competency, and retired from business to a tine rural home, where he settled down to "live independent of man and God," as he then expressed it, and proceeded to raise pumpkins on scientific principles regardless of conse)ueirces. While in Chicago, three years aro this winter, he went to hear Moody preach, and the result was that his iniidelity was all "knocked into pi," and from tha't day he became a Christian worker and was soon in the ministry. He entered the Southern Indiana conference as a methodist preacher, and was assigned to a country circuit of four appointments, w here he quietly droppedout of sight and went to work with all the energy of his nature trying to do as much good as possible. Atter a successful year in this line of work it became so evident that his gifts were evangelistic rather than pastoral that he engaged in that calling, and is still pursuing it with good results. Below we give an abstract of his experience as he relates it: I was an infidel from childhood, mainly because there was nothing attractive in theGospel as it was then presented to me. The ronception of God that dawned upon me from the teaching I received filled me with terror. From this I early came to hate the bible and all pertaining to it. The story of Jesus was so presented that I pitied Him and hated His Father. Sunday was a lung, g oomy day, and I always dreaded to see it come. 1 was told that Heaven was ne eternal Sunday, and somehow I could not feel very anxious to get there. Hell, they said, was an everlasting blaze, anil, of course, I didn't want to go there. Like the old darkey, I felt that I would have to take to the woods, and do the best I could for myself. From what I heard I thought God was after me with a clul, waiting to get a good lick at me. 1 used to think most of the thunderstorms came about tecause I was not as good a boy a I ouiht to he. Another thing that troubled nie was that the good boys in the Sunday-school books that I read never lived. They all died young. I was afraid to be very good for fear I might get a cough and begin to pine. I never read any infidel books until after I was thirty years old. So my infidel notions were not borrowed, but "resulted from my own reasonings about things. After a time I became a worker in the ranks of free thought. I took an avowed stand against the cause of Christ and never missed a chance to strike a blow for unbelief. I patronized infidel papers; wrote for them; helped to support prominent workers; made speeches, and tried as hard as I could to get people to see as I did. In Januarv, ISSo, I noticed in the daily papers that 5loody had arrived and would hold a short series of meetings at Chicago Avenue church. Having never heard him, I had a curiosity to do so. I secured a good seat in the gallery, where I could see and hear well. His subject was the "Prodigal Son," and his preaching that night was a revelation to me. I had never heard the gospel preached beforo as he preached it. For the first time the truth bfgan to dawn upon me that God was love. I thought if there were really such a God as Moody had described I would give all I possessed to know it and b sure of it. I could love such a Being as that, I thought, and would consider it a joyful privilege to 6erve Him. At the close of the sermon the speaker invited all who would like to know this Go 1 to indicate their desire by rising. I stood up, and went with others to the inquiry-room after the audience was dismissed. 1 fell into the hands of a worker by the name of Davidson. He came at me with an open bible and stirred up all the devils in me. I hated the bible, and didn't want to have anything to do with it. What I wanted was to have somebody tell me more about the God of Moody. Davidson kept showing mo verses in the bible, but I wouldn't read them. In a few minutes he paid I was a hard customer, and went to find somebody who would take me olf his hands. He came back with a red-headed Scotchman, who turned out to be Morton Smith, who now has charge of the Tyng mission. He eat down beside me, kept his bible out of sight, and simply gave me a leaf from his own exJerience. This gave me a little grain of ' aith that there might after all be something in religion, because Smith had himself been an infidel, and had been over the same ground that I had traveled. He understood ray rase, and knew just how to reach roe. "When I got home that night I sat down by the fire, and for a half hour thought over all that had occurred during the evening. My heart began to be strangely drawn toward the God Moody ha I been describing. At length I went to bed and dropped asleep with a yearning down deep in my soul that this God of love would make it possible for me to believe in Him, When I awoke, I found to my awful consternation that God had given me the (

wished-for evidence. I cannot describe the condition of mind in which I found myself. I did not know what to do, and the thought of doinz nothing almost crazed me. I had only one acquaintance in Chicago whom I knew to be a Christian. I went to 6ee him, and told him whit had happened. He told me of the noon lay prayermeetings at Farwell hall, and advised me to go there. I thought 12 o'lock never would come. I would look nt my watch, and then after what appeared to have been a very long time I would look again, and the hands seemed to have scarcely moved. I was in a hell that made fire and brimstone attractive in comparison. The awful truth was burnitg in my soul that I had a nature that banijhed me from the presence of God. It wa not because of my past sins that I was troubled. I scarcely recalled a single one of them. It was what I was at that moment that caused me so much torn.ent. Not the fear of consequences for what 1 had done, but the awful meaning of my nature at that moment. I was as one dying of thirst in fight of cooling fountains. My soul was burning up for want of the living God. I was longing for some one t take me kindly by the hand and tell nie that God loved me. My ears wero deaf to all else, and yet . I could not hear this. I was determined that the business of my life from that moment should be to ask and serve my Maker. An irresistible power seemed to force me forward, and vet I did not know what I was to do or how I wac to proceed. Sometimes I would recall a long-forgotten portion of scripture I had learned in childhood, and it would be luminous with meaning. The very voice of God seemed to speak to me from it, as He did to .Moses from the burning bush. There was no prayer-meeting in Farwell hall that day, it being Saturday. That night I went back again to the Chicago-avenue church. I couldn't keep away. In the inouiry-room I had some talk with Mr. Moody. I wanted to reason my way to God. He said it was absurd for me to try to comprehend the Infinite, and rebel against His laws because I could not understand them. He urged me to venture upon the promises. Mrs. Moody came in and I was introduced to her. She gave me some light, and the way began to grow brighter before me. Mr. Goss, the pastor. Miss Dver and otner workers in Moody'sehurch all contributed something in the way of counsel to help me along toward God, but it was several days before I got clearly out into the light. I could not intellectually heluve that Jesus Christ had ever walked this earth, and did not get over this ditliculty until 1 bad been several months converted. But finally the Holy Spirit revealed to me the spiritual Christ and made it all so simple and plain that I could look to God in child-like trust and give Hint my heart. At that moment the burden rolled away, the peace which passet h understanding came quietly into my soul and from that moment there has never been an hourwhen 1 have not known that I was saved. (hie evening soon after I was con verteil, wife and I gathered all of our infidel books together and I wheeled them out into the orchard, w here my twelve-year-old boy was permitted to make a bon-fire of them. I am not much airaid that he will become an intidel. Before I became a Christian I would not permit him to attend Sunday-school, and he had never been inside a church in rny company. The bible suddenly became the book of all books to me, and I couldn't read any other. I felt like a prince who had suddenly come ino a glorious inheritance, and I wanted to find out what belonged to me. I didn't care for the fleeting things of this life, but I Mid want to learn ail I could about the groat question of eternity. From hating the bible as I did a rattle-snake, I have come to love it as the apple of my eye.

Jewish. Messenger. Faith in the supernatural supplies the grandest inspiration, alike in respect to action and endurance, that the human mind can receive. It gives hope to the soul and scatters clouds that would otherwise darken its sky. Can that be essentially false which is productive of the best results? Is it to be snpposed that a ptire illusion is practically better than the truth? Let those answer these questions who'treat the supernatural as a falsehood and a sham. Independent. The empty tombaf the risen Lord says: "This life is worth living." lie says: "Because this liie is short and the next eternal, you can endure it. Because this life is but a vestibule to the life beyond, you can pass through it without fainting. Because the next lite is but the sequel to this, and because character is continuous, this life is worth living. Because every experience you pass through, every disappointment you meet, every sutiering you endure, makes you more meet for the future, this life is well worth living." '1 he Uoilen Kale, Three Live Since 1034. Charles O. Films of Scituate, Mass., makes this interesting statement in a letter to the Boston Journal; "The Hon. Samuel A.

Mr. Spicer has just settled himself in the chair for a short cut, when the artist in attendance threw over him a calico apron, on which were pictured innumerable little greyhounds. "This is very appropriate," said Spicer. "Vy do you call ree little dogs appropriate. Mr. Spizare?" asked the barber, as he tucked the apron into his victim's neck until his eyes bulged. "Because," gasped Spicer, "greyhounds are good to catch the hare." Such a silence fell upon the room that the milliner uext door looked in to see if anybody had died. At Home and Abroad.

A TALK ABOUT THIMBLES.

SOMETHING FOR THE GIRLS TO READ Anecdotes and Stories For the Voting Folks How ne Explained Himself Her Sunday-School Verse 'Whose Bald Head Are You? Knotty Problems. "Betty, did you ever undertake to sew without a thimble ? If so," said erandma, "you know how hard it is to push the needle through the cloth, and how hard the finger pricks and aches from the staba of the sharp steel." The thimble is a very small piece of workmanship, but it is a very important and useful one, and grandma is thankful to tho good old Dutchman who was so clever as to invent it, although he is dead and gone centuries ago. I think you would like to hear what I have learned about this little instrument. ' It was brought to England as far back as 1605 by John Lofting, a Dutchman, and was called a thumb-bell, because it was worn on the thumb and was ehaped like a bell, and afterward it was called thumble, and later thimble, as wo now call it. Thimbles were first made ot iron and brass. Those made of iron must have been clumsy and heavy, and the brass discolored the finger; but Boon these disadvantages were s?en and eteel, silver and gold took their places. - In the ordinary manufacture of thimbles, thin plates of metal are placed in a tlie and punched into shape, but in Fari this industry is carried on to a great extent, and gold is the rmtal most used. Thiu sheets of sheet-iron are cut into dies about two inches in diameter. These are heated red-hot and struck with a punch into a number of holes, gradually increasing in depth to give them proper shape. Tho thimbie is then polished, trimmed and indented around its outer surface with a number of littlu holes by means of a small wheel. It is then changed into steel by the cementation (look that up in the dictionary, dears) process, scoured, tempered ami brought to a blue color. A thin sheet of gold is then introduced and attached to tne steel bv a pol-i.-died steel mandrel. Gold leaf la then applied and fastened by pressure. The thimble is then complete. So you see, my dears, that, although so very email, tlie thimble or "linger-cap." as the Germans call it goes through many different processes before it is made ready for the work-box. Yf hoe lt.ihl.Ilenri Are Yon fri.ila.Klph.a Times. A four-year-old miss lately created a good ileal of consternation, not unmixed with amusement, in a small social circle. She had been on a visit to her grandfather, and while there was in the habit of playinir with him as he lay, half asleep, on the sofa. One day, as her chubby finders elided caressingly over the old gentleman's scant locks, he murmured drowsily, in reply to eome infantile remark: "Yes. I'm your old bald-headed grandfather." One evening not long afterward, a young-old bachelor who was making a call on tlie familv, toward a certain member ot which, only eighteen and decidedly pretty, he inclined with very tender feelings. Into the pleasant circle where the bachelor sat flashing bright nothings of society talk, entered the four-year-old. Unseen by the gentlemau she sauntered around the room inspecting him, and gazed with especial interest on his polished scalp, which gleamed in the light of the chandelier. Suddenly, w ith a burst of ingenuous sociability, 6he threw herself at his knees ami exclaimed: "Whose poor old bald-headed grandfather are you?" How He Explal&ed Himself. Boston Adrertisor. In a family residing at the south-end is a bright little one who is the life of the house. Whenever any one in the household docB a thing whidi does not please hitn he retaliates by saying: "I don't love you." He had said this once or twice to his fond grandmother, and his father rebuked him for it by saying: "If you ever speak to your grandma again in that way I shall be obliged to punish you." A few nights later the family were at supper and the watchful grandmother removed from the boy's plate something which she did not think he should eat. lie regarded her sullenly for a moment and then blurted out: "I don't love vou, grandma." His father glanced at him from across tho table as much as to say: "I'll settle with von after supper, young man," and the little fellow immediately sawthe necessity of squaring himself with his paternal parent, so he quickly added, "as much as I love Jesus." Then he explained himself by saying: "Of course, I don't love any of you as much as I love Jesu." It is needless to say that he was not punished. ner Sunday-School Verse.

George Washington was noted by Tobias Iar on the Sunday following his death, which happened on Saturday evenine, lec. 14, 17'Ji between the hours of 10 and 11: "Oa Thursday, Dec. 12, the tjeneral rode out to his farms ut about 10 o'clock, and did not return home till past 3. Soon after he went out the wenther became very bad, rain, hail and snow falling alternately, with a cold wind. When he came in I carried some letters to him to frank, intending to semi them to the ostotliee. He franked the letters, but paid the weather was too bad to send a servant to the ollice that evening. "I observed to him that I was afraid he had got wet. llenaid no, his great coat had kept him dry. Hut his neck appeared to be wet; the snow was hanging on his hair. He came to dinner without changing his dress. In the evening he appeared as well as usual. A heavy fall of snow took place on Friday, which prevented the general from riding out as usuaL He had taken cold undoubtedly from being so much exposed the day before, and complained of having a sore throat; he had a hoarseness, which increased in the evening, but he made litht of it, as he would never take anything to carry o!l a cold, always observing, 'let it go as it came.' In the evenin?, the papers having come from the postofiice, he sat In the room with Mrs. Washington and myself reading them till about 9 o'clock, and when he met with anything which he thought divertingor interesting he would read it aloud. He desired me to read to him the debates of the Virginia assembly on the election of a senator and governor, which I did. On his retiring to bed he appeared to he in perfect health, except the cold, which he considered as trilling; lie had been remarkably cheerful all the evening. "About 2 or 3 o'clock on Saturday morning he awoke Mrs. Washington and informed her that he was very unwell and had an ague. She observed that he could scarcely speak and breathed with difficulty, and he wuhed to get up and ca!l a servant, but the general would not permit her, lest she should take cold. As soon as the day appeared the woman, Caroline, went into the room to make a fire, and the girl desired that Mr. Kawlins, one of the overseers, who was used to bleeding the people, might be sent for to bleed him before the doctor could arrive. I was sent for and went to the general's chamber, where Mrs. Washington was up aud related to me his being taken ill between 2 and 3 o'clock, as before stated. "I found him breathing with difficulty and hardly able to utter a word intelligibly. 1 went out instantly and wrote a line to Ir. l'lask ami sent it with all speed. Immediately I returned to the general's chamber, where I found him in the same situation I had left him. A mixture of molasses, vinegar and butter was prepared, but he could not swallow a drop. Whenever lie attempted it he was distressed, convulsed and almost su (located. Mr. Rawlins came in soon after sunrise and prepared to bleed him. When the arm was ready tlie general, observing that llawlins appeared agitated, said with difficulty, 'Don't be afraid,' and after the incision was made he observed the orifice was not lare enough. However, the blood ran pretty freely, Mrs. Washincton, not knowing whether bleeding was proper in the general's condition, begged that much might not be taken from him, and desired me to stop it. When I was about to untie the string the general put up his hand to prevent it, aud as 60on aa he could rpcak saitt, 'More.' "Mrs. Washington, still uneasy lest too much blood should be taken, it was stopped after about half a pint had been taken. Finding that no relief was obtained from bleeding and nothing cou'd be swallowed, I proposed bathing the throat externally with sal volatile, which was done. A piece of flannel was then put around his neck. His feet were also soaked in warm water, but it gave no relief, lij Mrs. Washington's request I dispatched a messenger for Dr. Brown at Port Tobacco. About 9 o'clock Dr. Craik arrived and put ablister of cantbarides on the throat of the general and took more blood, and had some vinegar and hot water set in a teapot for him to draw in the fumes from the nozzle. He also had tea and vinegar mixed and used as a gargle, but when he held back his head to let it run down it almost produced suffocation. When the mixture caiue out of his mouth some phlegm followed it, and he would attempt to cough, which the doctor encouraged, but without etlect About 11 o'clock Dr. Dick was sent for. Dr. Craik bled the general again; no eifect was produced and he continued in the same state, unable to wallow anything. Dr. Dick came in about 3 o'clock and Dr. Brown arrived soon after, when, after consultation, the general was bled again; the blood ran slowly, appeared very thick, and did not produce any symptoms of fainting. "At 4 o'clock the general could swallow a litPitcher's Castor. a.

About 4 :.H0 o'clock he desired me to ask Mrs. Washington to come to his bedside, when he desired her to go down to his room and take from his desk two will which she would find there and bring them to him, which she did. Upon looking at one, which he observed was useless, he desired her to burn it, which she did, and then took the other and put it away. After this was done I returned agnin to his bedside ard took his hand. He said to me: 'I find I am going my breath cannot continue long. 1 believed from the first attack it would be fatal. Do you arrange and record all my military letters and papers; arrange my accounts and s ttle my books, as you know more about them than any one else, and let Mr. Kawlins finish recording my other letters, which he has begun.' "He asked when Mr. Lewis would retnrn. I told hini 1 believed about the 20ih of the month, lie made no reply to it. The physicians again came in (between ö and o'clock), and when they came to his bedsi.ie Dr. Craik asked him if he would sit up in the bed. He held out his hand to me and was raised up, wheu he said to the physicians: "'I feel myself going; you had better not take any more trouble about me, but let me 'o oft" quietly; I cannot last long.' "They found what had been done was without effect; he lay down sgain and they retired, excepting Dr. Craik. He then said to him: 'Doctor, I die hard, but I am not afraid to po; I believed from my first attack 1 should not survive it; my breath cannot last lng.' "The doctor pressed his hand, but could not utter a word: he retired from the bedsid and sat by the liret phsorbed in giief. About o'clock the physicians aain came into the room and applied blisters to his legs, but went out without a ray of bop. "From this time he appeared to breathe with less difficulty than he had dune, hut was very restless, continually changing his position to endeavor to get ease. 1 aided him in all my power and was gratilied in believing he felt it, for he would look upon me with eyes speaking gratitude, but was unable to utter a word without great distress. "About 10 o'clock he made several attempts to speak to me before he could ellect it. At length he said: 'I am just going. Have me decently buried, and do not let my body be put into the vault in less than two days after I am dead.' "I bowed assent. He looked at me again and said: 'Do you understand me?' I replied, 'Yes, sir.' 'Tis well,' iaid he. "About ten minutes before he expired his breathing became much eaier; he lay quietly; he withdrew his hand from mine and felt bis own puls. 1 spoke to Dr. Craik. ho sat by the lire: he came to the bedside. The general's hand fell from his wrist; I took it iu mine and Iilaced it on his breast. Dr. Craik plaeeJ his lands over his eyes, and he expired without a 8trusri.de or a sigh. "While we were fixed in iient grief Mrs. Washington asked in a firm and collected voice, 'Is he gone?' " Tlie reputation of Ayer's i-'nrsaparilla, as a blood medicine, is maintained by daily cures.
