Deludes nhe less, so does e joy around our entire epicycle of our own rehilarant, unique, divine |text! Sc many are deagitation and think his countrv is onino, to

__rthls morning a sermon Tcheer and anticipate the time k.Prince of Peace and the Heir of Fdominion shall take possession ration and uThy land shall be .-ussing the final destiny of this t makes all the difference in the /hether we are oil the way to a or a wedding. The Bible leaTes tt on this subject. In pulpits and rms and in placet of public conhear so many of the muffled .evil prophecy sounded as though n the way to National interment, .es Thebes, and Bibylon and Tyre emetery of dead nations our rei to be entombed, that I wish lerstand it is not to be obsequies, ijs; not mausoleum, but carpeted cypress, but orange blossoms; i, but weddinginarch, for “Thy be married.” I propose to name is suitors who are claiming the t this Republic. This land is so beautiful, so affluent, that it has luitors, and will depend muoh upon ice whether this or that shall be or rejected, first place, I repo ark: There is a •, all-grasping monster who comes .suiter seeking the hand of this Re- !, and that monster is known by the Of IfonoDOlv. His sceDter is made

the iron of the rail track and the of telegraphy. He does everything Is own advantage and for the robbery the people. Things have gone on from to worse, until in the three Legislqof New York, New Jersey andPennsylvania, for the most part. Monopoly decides everything. If Monopoly favor a law it passes. If Monopoly oppose a' law it is rejected. Monopoly stands in this railroad depot putting into his pookets in one year $200,000,000 in excess of all reasonable charges for service. Monopoly — holds in his one hand the steam power of locomotives, and in the other the electricity of swiit communication. Monopoly decides nominations and elections—city elections, State elections, National elections. With bribes he secures ► the votes of legislators—giving them free passes, giving appointment s to needy relatives to lucrative positions, employing them as attorneys if they are lawyers, carrying tbeir goods fifteen per cent, less if they are merchants; and if he finds a case very stubborn, as well as very important, puts down before him the hard cash of bribery. But monopoly is not so easily caught now as when, during th$ term of Mr. Buchanan, the Legislative committee in one of our Stated expressed and exposed the manner in which a certain railway company procured a donation of public land. It was found put that thirteen of the Senators of that State received $175,000 among them, sixty membeis of the lower house of that State received $5,000 and 910,000 each, the Governor of the State received $50,000, his clerk received $5,000, the Lieutenant-Governor received $10,000, all the clerks of the Legislature received $5,000 each, while $50,000 were divided among the lobby agents. This thing, on a larger or smaller scale, Is all the time going on n some of Hie States of the Union, but it is not so blun • dering »• it useu to be, anti therefore not as easily exposed or arrested. I tell you that the overshadowing curse of the United States to-day is monopoly. He puts his hand upon every bushel of wheat, upon every sack of suit, upon every ton of coal, and every matt;—wjpman and child in the United States leel^he touch *of that moneyed despotism. t I rejoice that in twenty-tour States of Hie Union already anti-monopoly leagues have been established. God speed them in.the work of liberation! 1 fish that the question might be the question of our Presidential elections, and that we compel the political parties to reoognise it in their platforms.

> 1 nave noimng to say agai ast capitalists. A man has a right to all, the money he can make honestly. There is not a laborer In the land who would not be worth a million ■" oollars if he coold. I have nothing to say against corporations as such—without them no great enterprise would be possible; bat what I do say is that the same principles are to be applied to capitalists and to corporations that are applied to the poorest man and the plsinest laborer. What is wrong for me is wrong for great corporations. If I take from you your property without adequate compensation I am a thief, and if a railway damage the property of the people without any adequate compensation that is a gigantic theft. What is wrong bn a small scale is ^ wrong on a large soale. Monopoly in England has ground hundreds and thousands of her best people into semi-starva-tion, and in Ireland has driven multitudinous tenants almost to madness. * • Such monopolies imply an infinite acreage of wretchedness. There is no poverty In ths United States like that in England, Ireland and Scotland, for the simple rea- ■ son that in those lands monopoly has had longer and larger sway. Lost sum mar in Edinburgh, Scotland, after preaching in Synod Hall, I stood on a (hair in front of the hall and preached to an audience of 30,000 people, standing in one of the most prosperous parts of the city, and reaching out toward the castle; as fine an array of strength and health and beauty as one ever sees. Three hours after I preached In the Grass Mivrket and to the wretched inhabitants of the Cowgate and Canongate, the audience exhibiting the squalor and sickliness and despair that remains in one’s mind like one of the visions of Dante’s Inferno. Great monopolies in any land imply great privation. The time will come when our Government will have to limit the aipbunt of accumulation of property. Unconstitutional, do you say? Then constitutions will have to be changed until ♦hey allow such limitation. Otherwise the work of absorption will go on, and the large fishes will eat up the small fishes, and the shad will swallow the mindowi, porpoise swallow 1he shad, and • hales swallow the porpoises, and a d greedy men will own the whole. , and S00 of these will eat up the 900, and 100 eat np he other 400, finally there will be oniy 90 left, and 10, and then 30, and then 30, and than then 3, and then 1. would a law of limitation of wealth If I dig so near my neigh

wife and the Arte and New Tort Oentral llallroadi, and over the telegraph pole* ft the oontineat, and aaya: “Hare hi my heart and hand; be mine forever.” Let the millions of people, North and South, Bast and West, forbid the banns of that marriage—forbid them at the ballot-box, forbid them on the platform, forbid them by great organisations, forbid them by the overwhelming sentiment* of an outraged Nation, forbid them by the protect of the Church of God, forbid them by prayer to high heaven. That Herod shall not have this Abigail. It shall not be to all-devouring monopoly that this land is to be married. Another suitor claiming the hand of this Republic is Nihilism. He owns noshing but a knife for universal blood-letting and nitro-glycerine bomb for universal explosion. He believes in no God, no government, no Heaven, and no hell except what he can make on earth. He slew the Csar of Russia, keeps Emperor William of Germany practically imprisoned, killed Abraham Lincoln, would put to death every King and President on earth, and if he had the power would climb up until he could drive the God of Heaven from His throne and fake it himself—the universal butcher. In France it is called Communism, in the United States it is called Socialism, in Russia it is called Nihilism. That last is the most graphic and descriptive term. It means complete and eternal smash-up. It would make the holding of property a crime, and it would drive a dagger through your heart and apply a torch to your dwelling, and turn over this whole land into the possession of theft and lust and rapine and murder. Where does this monster live? In St. Louis, in Chicago, in Brooklyn, in New York; and in all the villages and cities of this land. The devil of destruction is an old devil, and he is to be seen at every great fire where there is anything to steal, and at every shipwreck where there is anything valuable floating ashore, and at every railroad accident where there are overooats and watches to be purloined. On a small scale I saw it in my col lege days, when in our literary society in New York University we had an exquisite and costly bust of Shakspeare, and one morning we found a hole bored into the lips of the marble and a cigar inserted. There has not for the last century been a flue picture in your art gallery,or a graceful statue in your parks, or a fine fresooe on your wall, or a richly bound volume in your library,but would have been despoiled if the hand of ruffianism could have got at it without peril of incarceration. Sometimes the evil spirit shows itself by throw - ing vitriol into a beautiful face; sometimes by wilfully scaring a horse with a velocipede; sometimes by crashing the cartwheel against a carriage.

me philosophy of toe whole business is that there is a larger number of people who either through their laziness or their crime own nothing, and are mad at those who, through industry and wit of their own, or of their ancestors, are in possession of large resources. The honest laboring classes never had anything to do with such murderous enterprises. It is the villainous classes, who would not work if they had plenty of work offered them at large wages. Many of these suppose that by the demolition of law and order they would be advantaged, and the parting of the ship of state would allow them, as wreckers, to carry off the cargo. It offers its hand to this fair republic. It proposes to tear to pieces the ballot box, the legislative hall, the Congressional assembly. It would take this land and divide it up, or, rather, divide it down. It would give as much to the idler as to the worker, to the bad as to the good. Nihilism! This panther having prowled across other lands has set its paws on our soil, and it is only waiting for the time in which to spring upon its prey. It was Nihilism that massacred the heroic policemen of Chicago a few days ago, and that burned the railroad property at Pittsburgh during the great riots; it whs Nihilism that shot black people in our Northern cities during the war; it was Nihilism that again and again in San Francisco and in New York mauled to death the Chinese; it is Nihilism that glares out of the windows of the druAeries upon sober people as they go by. Ah 1 its power has never yat been tested. It would, if it had the power, leave every church, chapel, cathedral, school house, college and home in ashes. Let me say, it is the worst enemy of the laboring classes in any country. The honest cry for reform lifted by oppressed laboring men is drowned out by the vociferation for anarchy. The criminals and the vagabonds who range through our cities talking about their rights, when their first right is the Penitentiary—if they could be hushed up, and the down-trod-den laboring men of this country could be heard, there would be more bread for hungry children. In this land riot and bloodshed never gained any wages; for the people, or gathered up any prosperity. In this land the best weapon is not the club, not the shillaleh, not firearms, but the ballot. Let not our oppressed laboring men be beguiled to coming under the bloody banner of Nihilism. It will make your taxes heavier, your wages smaller, your table scantier, your children hungrier, your suffering greater. Y«t t'hift Nihilism wifh font iwul ivith

slaughter, comes forth and offers its hand for the republic. Shall the banns be proclaimed!' If so, where shall the marriage altar he! and who will be the officiating priest? And what will be the music? That altar will have to be white with bleached skulls, the officiating priest mast be a dripping assassin, the mnsic be the smothered groan of , multitudinous victims, the garlands must be twisted of nightshade, the fruit must be apples of Sodom, the wine must be the blood of St. Bartholomew’s massacre. No! lit is not to Nihilism, the sanguinital monster, that this land is to be married. Another saiter for the hand of this Nation is Infidelity. Hark you that all Anarchists are infidels. Not one of them be- - lieves in the Bi ble, and very rarely any of them believe in a God. Their most conspicuous lea der was the other day pulled by the leg from under a bed in a house of infamy, cnrsiBg and blaspheming. The police of Chicago, exploring the dens of the Anarchists, found dynamite and vitriol and Tom Paine’s “Age of Reason,” and obscene pictures, and complimentary biographies of thugs and assassins, bnt not one Testament, not one of Wesley’s hymn ‘books, not one Roman Catholic breviary. There are two wings to infidelity—the one calls itself liberalism, aud appears in highly literary magasines, and is for the educated and refined; the other wing is in the form of anarchy and is for the vulgar. But both wings belong to the same old filthy vulture, infidelity I Elegant infidelity proposes to conquer this land to itself by the pen; Anarchy proposal to conquer it by bludgeon and torch. -The only impulse in the right direction that this world has ever had has come from the Bible. It was the mother of Roman law and of healthful jurisprudence. That book has been the mother of all reforms and all charities—mother of English Magna Charts and American Declaration of Independence. Benjamin Eranldin, holding that holy book in his hand, stood before an infidel club at Paris and read to them out of the prophecies of Habakkuk, and the infidels, not knowing what book it was, declared it was the best poetry (they bad ever heard. That book brought George Washington down on his knees 3 the snow at Valley Forge, and led the dying Prince Consort to ask tome one to

•fed the Christian printing-preeseu; the* give me Wyoming, gire me Alaska, give me Montana, give ate Colorado—give ate all the States and territories west of the Mississippi, and I will take those plaoes and keep them by right of possession long before the gospel can be fully Intrenched.” And this suitor presses his case appalling* ly. Shell tiie banns of that marriage be proclaimed? “No!” say the home missionaries of the West—a martyr band of whom the world is not worthy, toiling amid fatigues and malaria and starvation. “No! not it we can help it. By what we and oar children have suffered we forbid tbe banns of that marriage?” “No!” say all patriotic voices, “our institutions were bought at too dear a price, and were defended at too great a sacrifice, to be so cheaply surrendered;” “No!”' says the God of Bunker Hill and Independence Hall and Gettysburg; “I did not start this Nation for such a farce;” "No,” cry ten thousand voices; “to infidelity this land shall not be married!” But there is another suitor that presents bis hand for the hand of this republic. He is mentioned in the verse following my text, where it says: “As the bridegroom rejoiceth over the bride so shall thy God rejoice over thee,” It is not my figure, it is the figure of the Bible. Christ is so desirous to have this world love him that he stops at no humiliation of simile. He compares his grace to spittle on the eyes of the blind man, He compares himself to a ben gathering the chickens, and in my text he compares himself to a suitor begging a hand in marriage. Hoes this Christ, the king, deserve this land? Behold Pilate's hall and the insulting expectoration on the face of Christ. Behold the Calvarean massacre and the awful hemorrhage of five wounds. Jacob served fourteen years for Rachel, but Christ, my Lord, the King, suffered in torture thirty-three years to win the love of this world. As often princesses at their very birth are pledged in treaty of marriage to princes or kings of earth, so this Nation at its birth was pledged to Christ for divine marriage. Before , Columbus and his 130 men embarked on the Sante Maria, the Pinta and the Nina, fori their wonderfut voyage, what was the last thing they did? They kneeled down and took the Holy Sacrament of the Lord Jesus Christ. After they caught the first glimpse of this country, and the gun of one ship had announced it to the other vessels that land had been discovered, what was the song that went up from all the three decks? “Gloria in Excelsis.” After Columbus and his 120 men had stepped from the ships’ decks to the solid ground, what did they do? They all knelt and consecrated the new world to God. What did the Huguenots do when they landed in the Carolinas? What did the Holland refugees do after they landed in New York? What did the Pilgrim Fathers do after they landed'in N^w England? With bended knee and uplifted face and heaven-besieging prayer they took possession of this country for God. How was the first American Congress opened? By prayer in the name of Jesus Christ. From its birth this Nation was pledged for holy marriage with Christ.

Ana then see now good God has been to ns! Just open the map of the continent and see how it is shaped for immeasurable prosperity. Navigable rivers, more in number and greater than of any other land, rolling down on all sides into the sea, prophesying large manufacturers and easy commerce. Look at the great ranges of mountains, timbered with wealth on the top and sides, metalled with wealth underneath. One hundred and eighty square miles of coal, 480,000 square miles of iron. The land so contoured that extreme weather hardly lasts more than three days extreme heat or extreme cold. Climate for the most part bracing and favorable for brawn and brain. All fruits, all minerals, all harvests. Scenery displaying an autumnal pageantry that no land on earth pretends to rival. No South Ameri- ! can earthquakes. No Scotch mists. No London fogs. No Egyptian plagues. No Germanic divisions. The people of the United States are happier than any people on earth. It is the testimony of every man that has traveled abroad. For the poor more sympathy, for the industrious more opportunity. Oh, how good God was to our fathers, and how good He has been to us and our children! To Him 1— blessed be his mighty name!—to him of cross and triumph, to him who still remembers the prayer of the Huguenots and Holland refugees and the Pilgrim Fathers —to him shall this land be married. O, you Christian patriots! by your contributions and your prayers hasten on the fulfillment of the text. We have during the past six or seven years turned a new leaf in our National history by the sudden addition of millions of foreigners. At Kansas City I was told by a gentleman who had opportunity for large investigation, that a great multitude had gone through there averaging in worldly estate $800. I was told in the City of Washington by an officer of the Government, who had opportunity for authentic investigation, that thousands and thousands had gone, averaging $1,000 in possession each. I was told by the Commissioner of Emigration that twenty families that had arrived at Castle Garden brought $85,000 with them. Mark you, families, not tramps— additions to the National wealth, not subtractions therefrom. I saw some of them Sk U.'Ll__J .1 * »

beoks, thanking God for His kindness in helping them cross the sea. Some of them had Christ in the steerage all across the wares, and they will hare Christ in the rail trains which every afternoon start for the great West. Are you afraid this continent is going tc be overcrowded with this population? Ah I that shows you have not been to Cali* fornia; that shows you have not been to Oregon; that shows that you have not been to Texas. A fishing-smack to-dav on Lake Ontario might as well be afraid of being crowded by other shipping before night as for any one of the next ten generations of Americans to be afraid of being overcrowded by foreign populations in this country. The one State of Texas is far larger than all the Austrian Empire, yet the Austrian Empire supports 35,000,000 people. The one State of Texas ■ is larger than all France, and France supports 36,000,000 people. The one State of Texas far surpasses in size the Germanic Empire, yet the Germanic Empire supports 41,000,000 people. I tell you the gretft want of the Territories and of the Western States is more population. While some may stand at the gates of the oity saying: “Stand back!” to foreign population, I press out as far beyond those gates as I can press out beyond them, and beckon to foreign nations. Saying: “Come, comel” “But,” say you, “I am so afraid that they will bring their prejudices for foreign governments and plant them here.” Absurd. They are sick of the governments that have oppressed them, and they want free America. Give them the gre&t gospel of welcome. Throw around them all Christian hospitalities. They will add their industry and hardearned wages to this country, and then we will dedicate all to Christ, “and thy land shall be married.” But where shall the marriage altar be? it be the Rocky mountains, when, Let .. „ -- through artificial and mighty irrigation, all their tops shall be covered, as they will be, with vineyards and orchards and grain fields. Then let the Bostons and the New Torks and the Charlestons of the Pacific coast come to the marriage altar on the one side, and then let the Bostons and the New Yorks and the Charlestons of the Atlantic coast come to the marriage altar on the other tide, and there between them let this bride of nations kneel, and then if the organ of the loudest thunders that ever shook the Sierra Nevadas on on the one side or moved the foundations of the Alleghenies bn the other side, should open full diapason ol' wedding march, that organ of thunders; could npt drown the voice of him who should Take the hand of the bride of nations, siting: As a bridegroom rejoices over a bride, so thy God rejoioeth over thee. At that marriage banquet the •Utters shall be of Nevada silver, and the chalices of California gold, and the fruits of Northern orchards, and the spices of Southern groves, and the tapestry ct American manufacture, and the congratulations from all the free nations of earth all the triumphant armies of

Its Cultivation a Restorer of Exhausted Wheat lands. Corn is a crop that we can much better afford to grow and to export than wheat, f for it is not a robber of that scarcest mineral fertilizer, phosphate of lime, as is the ease with wheat. Without doubt, the expense of restoring exhausted wheat lands is one reason why English farmers have been gradually reducing their wheat product and devoting their land to crops which will not impose this necessity. When we feel, as the English farmers have done, the expense of restoring our wheat lands, some other crop will be substituted, and it is quite as likely to be corn as anything else. Where corn fails on long cultivated ground it is more apt to be because the mechanical condition of the soil is bad rather than from lack of plant food. Fertility of one kind corn does need. It is a great devourer of available nitrogen or ammonia. But this in soils containing much vegetable matter is rapidly developed during summer by frequent cultivation. And yet on even the richest soils a small quantity of available nitrates applied at planting time will give corn a vigorous start and cause it to mature several days earlier. The reason for this is that in early spring the ground is still cold, and no matter how much fertility the soil contains, it is not ready for use. Thus commercial fertilizers are often profitably used on corn. Where wheat has been the main crop phosphate fertilizers are mostly used, but a nitrate would on most lands be better, for it is mainly tc the very small percentage of ammonia that most ph'bsphate fertilizers contain that they owe their good effects on corn.

success in corn-growing is largely dependent on thorough preparation of the soil. Corn loves warmth and''-Its feeding roots run near the surface. This must be made mellow and the heat secured by manure or sod fermenting in the soil and by shallow plowing. Auother very important point is plowing early in the season, thus giving chance for sun and air to warm the seed bed before the seed is planted. As corn is usually and should be always planted on sod, the plowing can be done early, and while corn and potato stubble are yet unfit to work. By planting time this sod, if worked down, will begin to ferment, and thus furnish some bottom heat, which is worth more td young corn than to any other grain The American Cultivator declares furthermore that corn is sflten planted much too deep. The young plant loves warmth, and if the seed has been buried two, three or four inches the shoot is embedded in it to its detriment Early in the season the soil is always colder than the air, and the closer corn is planted to the surface, provided the soil is compacted around the seed, the better it will grow. Planting too deeply is often one of the difficulties in drilling corn, especially if the field is rolled down after the seed is in. The rolling breaks down the ridges which the drill has made; covering the seed still more deeply, and when rain comes on heavy soil on seed thus covered the crop is stunted for weeks and never fully recovers. In soil made mellow, as it should be, half an inch covering of seed corn is better than more. In a dry time this should be pressed down over the seed. If rain comes even this is not important. What is wanted is that the first roots of the com plant shall start near the surface to receive the fullest benefit of the suri -and warm air. Later in the season, as the ground becomes thoroughly heated and dryer, com roots will run deeper. On heavy soils, however, they should always start near the surface. Thorough cultivation through the growing season is essential to making a good corn orop. Undoubtedly the teeth of the cultivator out off many corn roots, but in a growing time these are quickly replaced and even increased in number to utilize the increased amount of plant food which the cultivation supplies. Some judgement is required in cultivating corn. Occasionally, late in the season, when the soil is extensively dry, it may Ip injurious. Cora roots may be •r w - , -- -— —j — — cut off by the cultivator when the plant can not readily replace them, and if this aes just when the com is earing the iPS ,do moro hann ^an goad.- *• * Herald,

WHAT SCIENCE SAY& “Fearful sad Wonderful” Mechanism of the Hainan System Graphically PSrtfayod, (in the editorial columns of the New York Analust, H. Lassing, M. D-, editor, write* the following beautiful description or the laboratories of the human system. We think #e have never read a finer or more trustworthy one.1 “Man is the greatest of all chemical laboratories. Magnify the smallest cell of the body and what a factory is spread before the eyes countless chambers in which are globes of air, masses of solid matter, globules of dying liquid; a flash comes and the whole is consumed and needful heat is earned into every part of the system. Eleetrieai fortes also generate and are confey fed to the brain, the muscles and the various nerve center*. “In another set of a million chambers we see various gasses and vapors. By chemical action these are changed and purified in the lungs and the skin. The blood we often say is a great living river. In its current are masses which the air in the lungs did not affect: blocks of chalk; slabs of tartar; pieces of bone-ash, strings of albumen; drops of molasses, and lines of alcohol. How are these waste masses disposed of! Begin where you will in this great stream you must coma to the purifying places of the system. Here is all activity aud an invisible force reaches out into the stream, seizes aud carries this mass of waste into vast trenches- thence into a smaller reservoir, and finally into a larger reservoir, which regularly discharges its contents. “This separation of lime, uric acid and other waste material from the blood without robbing it of a particle of the life fluid, passes human comprehension. In health -___ c_* .«_ this blood-purifying process is carried on without pur knowleage._ The organs in which itis done are faithful servants whose Work is silent as long as health remains. “People strangely wait until pain strikes A nerve before they will realize that they have any trouble. They do not know that pain concerns chiefly the exterior not the interior of the body. A certain set of nerves connect these blood-purifying organs with the brain. They may not gnaw and bite as does the tooth-ache or a Scratch, but they regularly, silently report. When these organs are failing these herves indicate it by drawing .the blood from the face and cheek, leaving the lip and eye blanched, by sending uric acid poison into the smallest veins, the skin then becoming gray, yellow or brown. They also prevent the purification of the blood in the lungs and cause pulmonary difficulties, weariness and pain. Who enjoys perfect health, espepecially in this land where we burn the candle in one mass! The athlete breaks down in the race; the editor falls at his desk; the merchant succumbs in his count-ing-room. These events should not have been unexpected for nature longago hung out her ‘lanterns of alarm.’ When the ‘accident’ finally comes, its fatal effect is seen in a hundred forms; either as congestion, chronic weakness, as wrong action, as variable appetite, as head troubles, as palpitation and irregularities of the heart, as premature decay, as dryness and harshness of the skin causing the hair to drop out or turn gray, as apoplexy, as paralysis, as general debility, blood, poisoning, etc. “Put no faith then in the wiseacre who says there is no danger as long as there is no pain. Put no faith in the physician, whoever he may be, who says it is a mere cold or a slight indisposition. He knows little, if any, more than you do about it. He can neither see nor examine these organs and depends entirely upon experimental tests, that yon can make as well as he. l*Tf ♦Via nnfniif is /lieon!rtvofl vwiirl dvr

| it contains albumen, lymph, crystals, sweet or morbid matter, is red with escaped blood, or roily with gravel, mucus and froth, something is wrong and disease and death are not far away. “These organs which we have described thus at length, because they are really the most important ones in the human system, the ones in which a large majority of human ailments originate and are sustained, are the kidneys. They have not been much discussed in public because it is conceded that the profession has little known power over them. Whatis wanted for such organs is a simple medicine, which can do no harm to the most delicate but must be of the greatest benefit to the afflicted. Such a remedy, tried and proved bv many thousands all over the world is Warner’s safe cure. With those in whom disease is deep seated it is the only specific. For those in whom the seeds are sown and the beginning of illness started it is an unfailing reliance. It may be recommended to the well to prevent sickness and the sick to prevent death. With its aid the great filtering engines of the system keep on in their silent work without interruption; without it they get out of gear and then disease and death open the door and cross the threshold.” Such writing ought not only to please but to carry conviction»that what Editor Lassing, M. D.,—so high au authority— says is true, and that his counsel is worthy the attention and heed of all prudent, rightminded people. The Ox Gored on the Other Side. [Boston Journal.] At the Race Fair, Thornhill, in Upper Kithsdale, England, a farmer was trying to engage a lad to assist on the farm, but he would not finish the bargain until he brought a character from his last place, so he said: “Run away and get it and meet me at the cribs at four o’clock. ‘.The youth was up to time, and the farmer said: “Well, have yon got your character with you?” “No,” replied the youth, “but I’ve got yours, and I’m no cornin’.”

Give it a trial now. ^ “Two months ago I commenced taking Hood’s Sarsaparilla as an experiment, as I had no appetite or strength, and felt tired all the time. I attributed my condition to scrofulous humor. I had tried several different kinds of medicine, without receiving any benefit. But as soon as I had taken half a bottle of Hood’s Sarsaparilla, my appetite was rer stored, and my stomach felt better. 1 have taken three bottles, and I never felt better.” MRS. J. F.
