RADwAY,s REGULATING PILLS

RADWAY'S REGULATING PILLS
Are the great regenerative medicine of the
age. Ladies for years the victims of depress-
ing, lite-consuming complaints Of q special
nature restored to health and vigor by
their use. All the ordinary affections of the
stomach, bowels, and liver, yield to the first
or second dose. Six Pills suffice in the worst
cases, and they operate in from three to six
hours, more efectualy than so of the drastic
class given in such nauseating quantities.
Coated with sweet gum the Pills have no dis
agreeable flavor. They not only cure Costive-
ness quickly but permanently. aid in bilious
ness they are infallible. Dyspepties who have
suffered for years, recover in a few weeks un-
der this painless operation. They act power
fully upon the circulation Of the blood, rem.
dering it uniform and equable throughout the
system. t24strs it1o3 - i>f-itAssts

YANKEE CoNTRIvANcEs IN THE CHURCHES
OF BosroN.-If the organ-blower's occu-
patton is not already gone, there appears a
fair prospect that the period is not very re-
mote when the organist may dispense with
the services of his assistant" In the
new Methodist piscopal Church, on Tre-
mont street, Boston, the organ blowing is
performed by water power small st, cam
Of Cochituate being introduced, which does
the work admirably, without getting the
''sulks" and quarreling with the organist.
All that the latter has to do is to turn a
stop cock, which lets on the water, and the
organ bellows are put in motion, and sup
ply all the wind desired. In the new
church spirc of Rev. DR.. Gannett, also in
the City of Notions, there is fine chime
of bells, which is to be played upon by
means of electricity, so that the performer
may cause them all to sound exactly in
the respective order he may desire, while
seated at keyboard similar to that of an
organ.

preacher, whose hearers were in the habit
of going to sleep over his preaching, got

a goodly number under the somnolescent

congregation was wake, upon their feet,
staring at the minister, at one another, and
wondering what in the name of human ma
ture was to come next. you're a set of
smart specimens Of humanity, aint you ?"
said the divine whistler, as he slowly gaz-
ed around on the astonished assembage

The Sum OF PIErY-The sum of piety
towards God, then, consists in love. This
quckens, vitalizes, gives significance and
power to everything else. Not, indeed,
that love excludes knowledge, purity, rec,
titIde and faith. 1t rather includes them
all, fills them all, being itself the vital Gle.
ment on which their value depends
Wicked men may know much about God
and religion, but they are wicked because
they do not love. The devils know God,
and believe in God Intellectually, brit they
are devils because they hate God instead Of
loving him. But he who truly loves God
will be right in everything else. His faith
will be unfeigned, his benevolence will be
quick and active, he will abstain from all
tilthiness Of the flesh and spirit, perfecting
holiness in the fear of the Lord.

A Persian story.

Jesus, says Persian story, arrived one
evening at the gates Of certain city, and
he sent his diciples forward to prepare
supper, while he himself, intent on doing
good, walked through the streets into tho
market place. And he saw at the corner
of the market some people gathered togeth-
er looking at an object on the ground, and
he drew near to see what it might be. 1t
was dead dog, with halter rotnd his
neck, by which he appeared to have been
dragged through the dirt, and viler. d
moro abject, a more unclean thing never
met the eye Of man. And those who stood
by looked on with adherence. "Faugh r.
said one, stepping hr nose, 'pollutes the
air." "How long shall the foul beast Offend
your sight ?' said another. "Look at his

even cut shoe out of it." "And his ears
said fourth, "all dragged and bleeding"
mo doubt" said fifth, she hath been
hanged for stealing" And Jesus heard
them, and looking down ON the dead crea-
ture he said ''Pearls are not equal to
the whiteness of his teeth" Then the
people turned toward him with amazement.
and said among themselves-"Whe is this9
This must be Jesus Of Nazareth for only
he could find something to pity and ap'
prove, even in dog;' and, being asham.

POWDER MILL PlErY.-Said little girl
who had just been reading the newspaper
account OF an explosion, "Ma, don't you
think that people who work in powder
mills. ought to be pious?' There was a
great deal Of human nature in that ques'
ton. The world, like the little girl, thinks
that all who are especially exposed, ought
to be prepared for sudden death. But is
not the whole world vast powder mill :?

may contain some deadly ingredient which
neither sight nor tase can detect. We are

age, our business, or our locality, for sud-
death?-C;n. Chi. Herald.

Life Insurance.
Since the fact has leaked out, that Louis
Napoleon, the Emperor of the French, has
had his life insured for the last 10 years
in one of the American Companies, people
generally, have become more interested
than eyer before, in Life Insurance, and
reasoning in this wise, that if Life Insur-
ancs is good thing for Emperor Napoleon,
it must necessarily he w;ee prudential
measure for "any other man." Then the
confidencethe world abroad has in American
Life Insurance Companies is significant
feature in this business, that recalls fact
to mind that no Insurance Company in
this country that has confined it's opera
tons exclusively to Life Insurance, has
ever failed; and this, after trial for more
than eighty years we think ought to prove
to the satisfaction of any reasoning mind,
that Life Insurance Companies are the
safest institutions the country affords for
the sacred keeping Of those funds on which
we rely for the comfort, and protection of
our families, after we have passed away
One of the most successful institutions of
this kind in the country is "Thc Mutual
Life Insurance Co. of Wisconsin" That
wisely profitting by the experience of the
Oldest and wealthiest companies in this
country had adopted plan of operations,
that secures to its members, all the pro-
lection, and advantages of the older com.
panies. While it obtains the best class of
risks, and makes accumulations of money,
faster than those companies that are locat-
ed, where the interest on money invested,
is less than in the west. 1t is the only
Life Insurance Co., located in the North
west. Its Trustees are well known, hon.
orable business men, and are as capable of
managing an institution of this kind, as
men in any other portion of the United
States. And there is no reason in the
world why the money of the Great West,
should be sent away to enrich the institu.
tons Of the east, to the prejudice of our
home interests. 1t is the duty of every
man who has family and whose life is as
surable to obtain life insurance. TO the
wealthy it affords opportunity for good
investment and safe return, and to those
in the humber walks of life, a protection
for their loved ones, no where else to be
obtained.
