IftpSjpB ' “Hurt's something behind it." That’* 'what you think, perhaps, when you read that the proprietors of Dr. Sage’s Catarrh Remedy offer ♦500 reward for an .iucurable case of Catarrh. Rather unusual, you think, to find the makers of a medicine trying to prove that they believe in it. “There must be something back of it l ” But it’s a plain, square offer, made in good faith. The only thing that’s hack of it is the Remedy. It cures Catan-h in the Head. To its mild, soothing, cleansing and healing properties, the worst oases yield!, no matter how bad or of hbw long standing. It has a record that goes back for 25 years. It doesn’t simply relieve — it perfectly and permanently cures. With a Remedy like this, the proprietors can make such an offer and mean it. To be sure there’s risk in it, but it’s so very small that they are willing to take it. • You’ve “never heard of anything like this offer?” True enough. * Bat then you’ve never heard of anything like Dr. Sage’s Remedy, “August Flower” Perhaps you do not believe these statements concerning Green’s August Flower.

When it is considered that they will spend not less than $\ ,000 each some idea can be obtained of the enormous drain that this exodus year after year occasions this country. This sum goes out, too, not for goods, but is so much of our surplus wasted in luxury. No other country could stand it'' for a year. The compensation comes, we suppose, in the new ideas that they pick up and bring back with them. There is one thing that they cannot find in any part of Europe, and that is a remedy tor coughs, coids and all maladies that affect the lungs that equals Reid's German Cough and Kidney Cure. This great preparation has no equal in the world for diseases that affect the respiratory organs.

* Hl» Creatures. The following' discourse was delivered by Rev. T. DeWitt Talmage in the Brooklyn tabernacle, from the text: Beasts and *91 OStUei (Sleeping things and flyin* fowl: both young man and maidens; old tnen and children; let them praise the name ol' the Lord —Psalm cxivni., 10,12 and 13. What a scene it was when last Thursday at the call of the president and governors, this nation assejnbled to chant the praises of God. But the day was too short to celebrate the Divine goodness of such a year. The sun did not rise over ,Brooklyn until one minute before' seven o'clock that morning, and it set four o’clock and thirty-five minutes that evening. What a small space of time in which to mediate upon twelve months of benefactions. So 1 add to that day this Sabbath morning service, and with the fruits and harvests of the earth still glorifying the pulpit and the galleries, ask you to continue the rehearsal of the Divine goodness. By a sublime egotism man has come to,appropriate this world to himself, when the fact is that our race is in a small minority. The instances of human life, as compared with instances of animal life, are not one to a million. We shall enlarge our ideas of God’s goodness and come to a better understanding of the text if, before we come to look at the cup of our blessing, we look at the goodness of God to the irrational creation. Although nature is out of joint, yet even in its disruption f am surprised to find the almost universal happiness of the animal creation. On a summer day, when the air and the grass are most populous with life, yon will not hear a sound of distress unless, perchance, a heartless school boy has robbed a bird’s nest, or a hunter has broken a bird's wing, or a pasture has been robbed of a lamb and there goes up a bleating from the flocks. The whole earth is filled with animal de-light-joy feathered and scaled, and horned, and hoofed. The bee hums it, the frog croaks it, the squirrel chatters it, the quail whistles it, the lark carols it; the whale spouts it. The snail, the rhinoceros, the grizzly bear, the toad, the wasp, the spider, the shellfish have their homely delights—joy as great to them as our joy is to us. Goat climbing the rocks, anaconda crawling through the jungle, buffalo plunging across the prairie, crocodile basking in tropical sun, seal puffing on the ice, ostrich striding across the desert, are so many bundles of joy; they do not go moping or melancholy; they are not only half supplied; God says they are filled with good. The worm squirtnin'g through^j^mpl upturned of plowshare and tnWsnts racing up and down the hillock are happy by day and happy by night Take up a drop of»water under the mi croscope, and yon find that witlu^it there are millions of creatures wiat swim in a hallelujah of gladness. The sounds in nature that are repulsive to our ears are often only utterances of joy—the growl, the croak, the'bark, the^iowL The good God made these creatures, thinks of them ever, and will not let a plowshare turn up a mole’s nest or fisherman’s hook transfix a worm nntil, by eternal decree, its time has come. God’s hand feeds all these broods and shepherds all these flocks and tends all these herds. He sweetens the clover top for the oxen’s taste; and pours out crystalline waters in mossed cups of rock, for the kind to drink out of on his way down the crags, and potirs nectar into the cup of the honey suckle^to refresh the hum-ming-bird; and spreads a banquet of a hundred fields of buckwheat, and lets, the honey-bee put his month to any cup of all the banquet, and tells the grasshopper to go anywhere he likes, and give the flocks of Heaven the choice of all the grain-fields. The sea anemone, half animal, half flower, clinging to the rock in mid-ocean, with its tentacles spread to catch its food, has the owner pf the universe to provide for it We are repulsed at the hideousness of the elephant but God, for the comfort and convenience of the monster, pnts forty thousand distinct muscles in its proboscis.

l go down on me Darren seasnore ana say: “No animal can live in this place of desolation;” hut all through the sands are myriads ot little insects that leap with happy Hie. I go down by the marsh and, say: “In this damp place, and in these loathsome pools of stagnant water, there will be the quietness of death,” but, lo! I see the turtles on the rotten log sunning themselves, and hear the bogs quake with multitudinous life. When the unfledged robins are hungry God shows the old robin where she can get food to put into their open mouths. Winter is not allowed to come until the ants8 have granaried their harvest, and the squirrsls have filled their cellars with nuts. God shows the huqgry ichneumon where it may find the crocodile’s eggs, and in arctic climes there are animals that Gcd so lavishly clothes that’ they can afford to walk through snow storms in the finest sable, and ermine, and chinchilla, and no sooner is one set of furs worn out than God gives them a new one. He helps the spider in its architecture of its gossamer bridge, and takes care Of the color of the butterfly’s wing, and tinges the cochineal, and helps the moth out of tbe chrysalis. 'The animal creation also has its army and navy. The most insignificant has its means of defense—the wasp its sting, the reptile its tooth, the bear its paw, the dog its muzzle, the elephant its tusk, the fish its scale, the bird its swift wing, the reindeer its antlers, the roe its fleet foot We are repelled at the thoughtof sting, and tusk, and hoof, but God’s goodness provides them for the defense of the animals’ rights. Yea, God in the Bible announces His care for these orders of creation. He says that He has heaved up fortifications for their defense—Psalm civ., Jk: “The high hills are a refuge for the wild goats, and the rocks for the conies.” He watches the bird’s nest— l’salm clr^H: “As for the store, the fir trees are her house.” He sees that the cattle have enough grass—Psalm elv., 14: “He eanseth the grass to grow for the cattle.” He sees to it that the cows, and sheep and horses have enough to drink—Psalm civ., 10-11: “He sendeth the springs into the valleys, which run among tbe hills; they give drink to every beast of the field; the wild asses qnench thir thirst” Amid the thunders of Sinai God nttercd the rights of cattle, and said that they should have a Sabbath. "Thou shatt not do any work, thou, nor thy cattle.” He declared with infinite emphasis that the ox on the threshingfloor should have the privilege of eating some of the grain as he trod it out, and muzzling*wafe forbidden. 'If young birds were taken from the nest for food, the despoiler’s life depended on the mother going free.

Only one solution, one explanation, one answer—God is good. “The earth is full of the goodness of the ljord." 1 take a step higher, and notice the adaptation of the world to the comfort and happiness of man. The sixth day c>f creation had arrived. The palace of the world was made, bnt there was no king to live in it. Leviathan ruled the deep; the eagle the air; the lion the field; but there was the scepter which should rule all? A new style of being was created. Heaven and earth were represented in His nature. -His body from the earth beneath; his soul from the Eieaven above. The one reminding him of his origin, the other speaking of his destiny—himself the connecting link between the animal creation and angelic intelligence. In him a strange commingling of the temporal and eternal, the finite and infinite, dust and glory. The earth for his floor, and Heaven for his roof; God for his Father; etenftty for his life-time. The Christian anatomist, gazing upon tlie conformation of the human body, exclaims: “Fearfully and wonderfully made." No embroidery so elaborate, no gauze so delicate, no color so exquisite, no mechanism so graeeful, no handiwork so divine. So qnietly and mysteriously does the human body perform its functions, that it was not nntil five thousand years after the creation of the race that the circulation of the blocd was discovered; and though anatomists of all countries and ages have been so long exploring this castle of life, they have only begun to understand it Volumes have been written of the hand. Wondrous instrument! With it we give friendly recognition, and grasp the sword, and climb the roek, and write, and carve, and build. It constructed the Pyramids, and hoisted the Parthenon. It made the harp, and then struck out of it ail the world’s minstrelsy. In it the white marble of Pentelicon mines dreamed itself away into immortal sculpture. It reins in the swift engine; ‘it holds the steamer to its path in the sea; it snatches the fire from Heaven; it feels the pulse of the sick child with its delicate touch, and nuake^the nations quake with its stupendous achievements. What power brought down the forests, and made the marshes blossom, and burdened the earth with all the cities that thunder on with enterprise and power? Four fingers and a thumb. A hundred million dollars would not purchase for you machine as exquisite and wonderful as your own hand. Mighty hand! In all its bones and muscles and joints I learn that God is good. Behold the eye, which, in its photo-graphic-gallery, in an instant catches the mountain and the sea. This perpetual telegraphing of the nerves; these joints, that are the only hinges that do not wear out; these hones and muscles of the body, with fourteen thousand different adaptations; these one hundred thousand glands; these two hundred million pores; this mysterious heart, contracting four thousand times every hour—this chemical process of digestion; this laboratory, beyond the understanding 'of the most skillful philosophy; this furnace, whose heat is kept np from the cradle to the grave; this factory of life, whose wheels, and spindles, and bands are God-directed. Ill we could realize the wonders of onr

<vutu uc pujaivai uigouiwiuvu, hypochondriacs, fearing every moment that some part of the machine would break down. But there are men here who have lived through seventy years, and not a nerve has ceased to thrill, or a muscle to contract, or a lung to breathe, or a hand to manipulate. I take a step higher and look at man’s mental constitution. Behold the benevolence of God in powers of perception, or the faculty of transporting this outside world into your own mind—gathering into your brain the majesty of the storm, and the splendors Of the day-dawn, and lifting into yonr mind the ocean as easily as yon might put a ghiss of water to your lips. Watch the law of association, or the mysterious linking together of all you ever thought, or knew, or felt, and then giving you the powef to take hold of the clew-line, and draw through your mind the long train with indescribable velocity—one thought starting up a hundred, and this again a thousand—as the chirp of one bird sometimes wakes a whole forest of voices, or the thrum of one string will rouse an orchestra. Watch yonr memory—that sheafbinder, that goes forth to gather the harvest of the past, and bring it into the present Yonr power and velocity of thought—thought of the swift wing and the lightning foot; thought that outspeeds the star, and circles through the heavens, and weighs worlds, and. from poising amid wheeling constellations, comes down to count the blossoms in a tuft of mignonette, then starts again to try the fathoming of the bottomless, and the scaling of the insurmountable, to be swallowed up in the incomprehensible, and lost in God! In reason and understanding, man is alone. The ox surpasses him in strength, the antelope in speed, the hound in keenness of nostril, the eagle in far-reaching sight, the -rabbit in quickness of hearing, the honey-bee in delicacy of tongue, the spider in fineness of touch. Man’s power, therefore consisteth not in what he can lift, or how fast he can run, or how strong a wrestler he can throw—for in these respects the ox, the ostrich and the hyena are his superior—but by his reason he comes forth to rule all; through his ingenious contrivance to outrun outlift, outwrestlie, outsee, outhear outdo. At his all-conquering decree, the forest that had stood for ages steps aside to let him build his cabin and cultivate his farm. The sea which raved and foamed upon the race has become a crystal pathway for commerce to march on. The thunder-cloud that slept lastly above the mountain is made to come down and carry mail-bags. Man, dissatisfied with his slowness of advancement, shouted to the water and the fire: “Come aud lift!” “Come and draw!” “Come and help!" And they answered: “Ay, ay, we come;" and they joined hands —the fire and water—and the shuttles fly, and the rail-train rattles on, and the steamship comes coughing, panting. | flaming across the deep.

and look at man’s la the Image of for enjoyment; eternal joy, aUd, still, through the recuperative force of heavenly e, able to mount up to more than Its original felicity; faculties that may blossom and bear fruit inexhaustibly. Immortality written upon every capacity; a soul destined to range in unlimited spheres of activity long after the world has put on ashes, and the lolar system shall have snapped its axle, and the stars that, in their courses, fought against Sisera, shall have been slain and buried amid the toiling thunders of the last day. You see that God has adapted everything to our comfort and advantage. Pleasant things for the palate, music for the ear, beauty for the eye, aroma for the nostrils, kindred for our affections, poetry for our taste, religion for our soul. We are put in a garden, and told that from all the trees we may eat except here and there one. He gives the sun to shine on us, and the waters to refresh tts, and food to strengthen us; and the herbs yield medicine when we are sick,* and the forests lumber when we would build a house, or cross the water in a' ship. The rocks arc transported for our foundation; and metals upturned for our currency; and wild beasts must give us covering; and the mountains must be tunneled to let us pass; and the fish of the sea come up in our net; .and the birds of the air drop at the flash of our guns; and the cattle on a thousand hills come down to give us meat. For us the peach orchards bend down their fruit, and the vineyards their purple clusters. To feed and refresh our intellect ten thousand wonders in nature aud provi-dence-wonders of mind and body, wonders of earth, and air,and deep analogies and antitheses; all colors and sounds; lyrics in the air; idyls in the field; conflagrations in the sunset; robes of mist on the mountains; and the “Grand March” of God in the storm. But for the soul still higher adaption; a fountain in which it may wash; a ladder by which it may climb; a song of endless triumph that it may sing; a crown of unfad'ug light that it may wear. Christ ca ne to save it—came with a cross on His back; came with spikes in His feet; came when no one else would come, to do a work which no one else would do. See how suited to man’s condition is what God has done for him! Man is a sinner; here is pardon. He has lost God's image; Christ retraces it. He is helpless; Almighty grace is proffered. He is a lost wanderer; Jesus brings him home. He is blind; and at one touch of Him.who cured Bartimeus, eternal glory streams into his soul. Jesus. I sing Thy grace! Cure of worst disease! Hammer to smite off heaviest chain! Light for thickest darkness! Grave divine! Devils scoff at it, and men reject it, but Heaven celebrates it! Iwish you good cheer for the national health. Pestilence, that in other years has come to drive out its thousand hearses to Greenwood and Laurel Hill, has not visited our nation. It is a glorious thing to be well. How strange that we should keep our health when one breath from a marsh, or the sting of an insect, or the slipping of a foot or the falling of a tree branch miglrt fatally assault our life! Regularly the lungs work, and their motion seems to be a spirit within us panting after its immortality. Our sight fails not. though the air is so full of objects which by one touch could break out the soul’s window. What ship, after a year’s tossing on the sea, could come in with so little damage* as ourselves, though we arrive after a year’s voyage to-day? I wish you good cheer for the national harvest^ Reaping machines never swathed' thicker rye, and eorn-hnsker’s |>eg never ripped oat fuller ear, and mow-poles never bent down under sweeter hay, and' wind-mill’s hopper never shook out larger wheat Long trains of white-ccvered wagons have brought the wealth down to the great thoroughfares. The garners are full, the store-houses are overcrowded, the canals are blocked with freights pressing down to the markets. The cars rumble all through the darkness, and whistle up the flagman at dead of night to let the western harvests come down to feed the mouths of the great cities. A race of kings has taken possession of this land—King Cotton, King Corn, King- Wheat, King Rice, King Grass, King Coal.

No established religion; Jew and Gentile—Arminianand Calvin-ist-Trinitarian and Unitarian—Protestant and Roman Catholic—on the same footing. If persecution should come against the most unpopular of all the sects, I believe that all other denominations would band together and arm themselves, and hearts would be stout, and blood would be free, and the right of men to worship God according to the dictates of their consciences would be contested at the point pf the bayonet, and with blood flowing up to the bits of the horses’ bridles For mercies temporal and spiritual let consecrated lives be offered. Wherever God’s light shines and God’s rain-des-cends. and God’s mercy broods, let the Thanksgiving arise! Give Tour Host a Rest. Never tax your entertainers with your presence all day long, when you are passing some days under a roof not your own. No matter how fond they are of you. your occasional absence—in your room or out for a walk—will be a relief to them; quite likely they will know it is a relief, but at the same time they would know that they were taxed if you remained constantly within sight and sound. A tactful guest will know just when to be absent. If you are visiting a wife whose husband is absent, never prolong your stay till his return, as few men care to find guests in the house to entertain when they return, tired and nervous from a wearisome railroad journey. If your visit is only half finished, it would be tasteful to make some excuse to be absent for a day, at least, on the husband’s return.

When the news of the election in Massachusetts reached Washington, Secretary Rosk was the only man in the gloomy group around the White house who betrayed his conviction that national issues were involved in the Massachusetts fight, and he did it by a silly threat Aoeording to the New York Tribune the purport of his remarks was as follows: “Secretary Rusk declares that the elections went as he expected, and he was not at all surprised. The only comment he had to make was that he would be in favor of restoring the tariff on hides, as the Massachusetts shoe manufacturers, for whose benefit hides were put on the free list, had voted with the democrats. He believed it a good idea to make them pay more for their hides.” The secretary would punish the boot and shoe manufacturers for voting in their own interests by “taxing hides.” The question arises would the boot and shoe manufacturers be the worst sufferers? Hardly. The tax would have to be paid by the people who buy boots and shoes. There is, however, another view of the question. According to the doctrines taught by McKinley, the foreigners Who sell us hides, not the boot and shoe manufacturers, would have to pay the duty. Secretary Rusk does not agree to this doctrine, for if he did he would not recommend a tax on hides as the best way of “getting even.” Secretary Rusk’s plan has a deeper meaning. He never overlooks the interests of the “Big* Four” of Chicago; he never looses an opportunity to put in a word for the benefit of this group of millionaires, although he pretends to be the farmers’ friend. In 1890, during the debate on the McKinley bill, the New York Tribune showed clearly how a tariff on hides would operate. It said: '“It can hardly be believed that the home producer will be benefited by the imposition of 1 a duty which would apparently help n’obody so much as the rich combination of beef packers in Chicago.” Cob Bayne, one of the high tariff members ^f /SffcKiniey’s ways and means committee, showed more clearly still for whose interests a duty on hides was being advocated when he said during the debate: “As a matter of fact, the business of hides is largely in the hands of such men as Phil Armour (one of the ‘Big Four’) who can consign to a tannery a hundred or several hundred hides at Once, and it is they who will be benefited by this duty, rather than the farmer, who has only one or two hides to sell at a time.” What the real effect of a tariff on hides would be is shown by the following statement made by Thomas E. Proctor, of the Proctor Leather Co, of Boston. Said Mr. Proctor: “The only effect it would have would be to increase the price of shoes and curtail our foreign trade in leather. There is no surer way to make New England solidly and reliably democratic than to put a tax on hides, as contemplated. Let me show you how it would work. The trade offered wonld be that with the Argentine republic and Brazil. The leather made from American hides is that used in the uppers of the shoes Very little, I may say no sole leather is made from American hides. To put a tax on hides brought from South America, if it had any effect at all on shoes made for our home trade, would be to increase their price. On the other hand it would materially hurt the business of our tanners. Very much of the leather imported from South America is tanned here Sand shipped to England. Now, if these hides are taxed it will make it impossible’for our t tuners to compete with those of Canada, who get their hides t\om the same source without tax and with the advantage of an unlimited supply of hemlock bark. Canadian tanners would derive the benefit, our owu tanners would suffer the loss under such a tax. With us hides are an industrial product. If the hide was not sold at all there would be just as many cattle raised as there are now, as the

beef and tallow form the main product We do not, however, export any of onr own hides. Of the sole leather tanned in this country fully one-fourth is sent abroad. To place a tax on this leather would wholly ruin this trade, as Canada, where hides are free, would absorb it all.” A duty on hides under Rnsk’s plan to “get even” would, as shown above, establish a big tanning industry in Canada at our expense, just as the duty on silver lead ore has built up smelters in Mexico Are we really to repeat this unwise action? AN ABSURDITY. The MeKtnlrjr Tariff and Onr Increased ' Exports. The fact that our aggregate exports of domestic products have increased during the eight months ended August 31, 1891, our exports for the same period in 1890 has led the McKinley organs to make the bold assertion that £he McKinley tariff caused the increase. They also make the broad assertion that high tariffs always stimulate export trade The absurdity of both these claims becomes apparent when we look at the character of our exports during the ; past eight months. The really increase has been in wheat and cotton and the cause of increased exports in both these articles is apparent to every one. r*a lit • Mf 35 s s a:£S ill '■ fierWheat exports...

Our enormous crop of cotton in 1890, amounting to 1,400,000 bales more than any previous crop, will account fully for our unusual exports of cotton, which were due largely to the failure of crops abroad. To the extent, therefore, that the McKinley tariff bill fertilized onr eotton and wheat fields and blighted the wheat fields of Europe, to this extent did it cause pur exports to increase. Has it come to pass that the advocates of high tariffs assume for. their policy divine and providential powers? __ Who Pajrs the Tin Plate Tax. A late number of the Iron Age, 4 leading protection trade paper, gives the market qnotatlons for tin plate in New York and in a cable report the jtame for London. Bessemer steel plates, known to the trade as *TC coke finish,” avia a# t.ha mAdt tnif of the inoet widely used grades, are quoted at $5,75 per box in New York and 18s 6d to 13s 9d in Lonequal to duty is $3.37 per box. Thus the McKinley tariff is keeping the home prices of plates equal to the foreign cost, pins the duty and cost of importing. This shows clearly the absurdity of the claim that the W»l»h tin plat* maker* pay tfce duty

Everything went on well, apparently, but at tiie end of about four weeks some one suggested to the prince that he was not reciting the liturgy according to Oranmer, although the ship’s company was highly flattered by his rendering. He had been reciting fervently and humbly: “We have done those things that we ought to have done and have left undone those things which we ought not to have done,” and the crew had been aocepting his statement of the case and feeling good.
