my hearers coming seven and nine miles,
over roads such as New England never

what 'the sacred soil'' was iu the days OF
the war can picture. Going up. we made
eleven miles in four hours, including q
stop to cut down a tree of ten inches in
diameter. which was fallen completely
across the road. which had to be chopped
into three sections with very indifferent
axe, borrowed of and returned to farm
house three quarters of mile across the
fields. The intimacy of my relations with
the top of the big wagon I rode in were
such as to make me wish that Providence

What to Do When You Are in Trouble

Don't try to quench your sorrow 10 rum
or narcotics. Ifyou begin this. you must
keep right on with it till it leads you to
ruin; or, it you pause. you must add
lphysica pain and the consciousness of
degradation to the sorrow you seek to
escape. OF all wretched men, his condi-
tion is the most pitiful who. having sought
to drown his grief 10 drink. awakes from
bis debauch with shattered nerves. aching
head, and depressed mind, to face the
same trouble again. That which was at
first painful to contemplate will, after
drink. seem unbearable. Ten to one the
fatal drink will be again and again sought,
till its victim sinks hopeless. pitiful
wreck.
Work is your true remedy. II misfor-
tune hits you hard. bit you something
else hard; pitch into something with a
will. There's nothing like good. solid.
absorbing, exhausting work to cure trou-
Bile. If you have met with losses. you
don't want to lie awake thinking about
them. You want sweet, calm, sound
sleep, and to eat your dinner with appe-
tite. But you can't unless you work. IF
you say you don't feel like work. and go
a loafng all day to tell to Tom. Dick and
Harry the story Of your woes. you'll lie
awake and keep your wife awake by your
tossings. spoil her temper and your own
breakfast the next morning. and begin to-
morrow feeling ten times worse than you
do to-day.
There are some great troubles that only
time heals. and perhaps some that can
never be healed at all; but all can be
helped by the great panacea. work Try
it. you who are afflicted Il is not pa
tent medicine. Il has proved its efficacy
since first Adam and Eve left behind them
with weeping their beautiful Eden. ltis
an oficinal remedy. All good physicians
in regular standing prescribe it in cases of
mental and moral disease. It operates
kindly and well. leaving no disagreeable
sequelle. and we assure you that We have
taken a large quantity oft with the most
beneficial effects. It Will cure more COM
