Beautiful Extracts.


Sixteen years ago, Rev. John w.
Maffet, then. in his prime, delivered a
lecture which closed with the following
fine passage: "The Phoenix, "a. tabled
bird of antiquity, when it felt the adj
yancing chills of age, bailt its own fu-
neral urn, and fired its pyrc by means
which natures instincts taught. All
its plumage and its form of beauty be-
came ashes; but then would rise the
from the urn OF death
and chamber ofaieeay, would the fiedg-
ling come, with its eyes turned towards
the sun, and essaying its dark velvet
wings, sprinkled with gold and fringed
with silver, on the balmy air, rising a
little higher, until at length, in the full
of fight, it gives q cry OF
ioy. and soon becomes a giittering
sneck ON the bosom of the serial ocean.
Lovely voyager of earth, bound on its
journey to the sun! So
rises the spirit bird from the ruins OF
the body, the funeral urn which its
Maker built; the death fires. So tow
crs away to its home in the pure eie-
ments of spirituality, intellect Ph@niz,
to dip its proud wings into tine fountain
of eternal bliss. So shall dear, precious
humanity survive from its ashes of the
burning world. So beautifully shall
the unchanged soul soar within the disc
of eternity's luminary, with undazzled
eve and unscorched wings-the
Phoenix of immortality-taken to its
rainbow home. and Graded on the beat
ing bosom of eternal love.

DIR. HosTETTER-Sir: 1 have long delayed
writing to YOU my sincere thanks for the good
YOU have done my daughter. I can truly say
that nothing but the kind hand Of Providence
and YOUR BITrERs have saved her from an early
crave. For three years 1 have been doctoring
her with syrups and all kinds OF bitters that
have been recommended to me for her, besides
having two first rate physicians; but all seemed
TO do her no good, while was searching the al.
MANAGES and al the newspapers that could get
hold of in hopes of finding something that
would suit her case. Accidentally there came
part of a newspaper around some goods that
bought at the Spa. In looking it over saw at
a glance that your BlrTERs was Just what sh'
needed / sent the next day to Ballston Spa ana
got n bottle of your BIITERs. She commenced
taking them, and such change in one week
with her appetite, and the distress that victnais
oecasoucd, and that burning in the Stomach, L
never saw in nv life, as there was in her. she
has taken three bottles, and is now able to work
all the time. | think there is little dcrange-
ment of the Liver. Please send me three bottles
more, which l think will cure her entirely. We
and others thought she had n disease OF the
heart. but that beating and fluttering that would
almost stop her from breathing at times, is all
gone

Piso's Care for Consumption.

FIFTY THOUSAND persons die annually
from Consumption in the United States. (Sec
censns report for 1882
This remedy has been for several years used
in practice by eminent physicians, with such
marked success that it is now, by urgent re.
quest, offered to the public an infalible rene.
dy for lung and throat diseases. Not every one
in the advanced stage of the Consumption can
be cured, but many have been, and many more
are now receiving benefits from its use, and
this long after all other known remedies have
failed As IN evidence of our sincerity in the
above statement. we warrant it to give satisfac.
tion.

Shortly after she took him IN charge she
was Obliged to give him fiogging. As
soon as it was through she was surpris-
ed to see him drop on his knees, and per-
haps more surprised to hear him pray to
he forgiven for what he had done-and
"bless Mrs. j., and lengthen out her
days as long as her nose, only not quite
so sharp"
OLD HANNAH.-She was an ignorant
slave, but pious old woman, who yield
ed to temptation and stole a goose,
which she cooked for her table. Her
master rebuked her for the theft, but she
was quite stubborn about it for while.
The next day being Sunday, her master
saw her at the communion table, and
afterwards sent for her and said, why,
Hannah, 1 saw You to-day at the COM
munion table"
"Yes, tank dc Lord, massa, l was low.
ed to be dere wild de rest oh his family"
But, Hannah, was surprised to see
you there he said. ''How is 1t about
that goosep
She looked little surprised. as if she
did not comprehend the cause or his
wonder, but soon catching his meaning,
exclaimed:
"Why, sar, do you think I'm going to
let an old goose stand between me and
my Master''
The following is an account of vivid

A diving husband said to his spouse:

The atfectionate wife replied:
"You-you'n never he any nearer to
heaven than you are now, you old brute:
You'd look well stuck up i'll heaven. L
think see you there now"
"Dolphus, Dolphus," hoarsly growled
the old man, "bring me my cane, and
let me larrup the old trollop once more
before l die"

When Bishop Butler lay on his dying
bed, he called for his chaplain and said:
Though 1 have endeavored to avoid
sin, and to please God to the utmost OF
my power, yet from the consciousness of
perpetual int. mites, | am still afraid
to die" "My Lord" said the chaplain,
"you have forgotten that Christ is a
Savior" .'True was the answer, "but
how shall know that he is Il savior for
me,0 my Lordit is written, him that
comcth to me will in no wise cast

am surprised that though have read
the Scripture thousand times over,
never felt its virtue till this moment,
