MANY persons snY that they have trled aim

MANY persons say that they have tried almost
every remedy that has been recommended for hu-
moTs and they are no better now than when they
commenced them and they have no confidence IN
anything that is advertised to cure salt Rheuin,
Erysipelas, and all similar humors. We would say
to these that there is n remedy that as yet has
never failed of curing those diseases. 1t acts upon
an entirely different principle from anything ever
ogered for them: il throws humor out Of the blood
through the skin. which is the only channel
through which the system can be entirely freed
from them II You will try it., you will not say Of
this as You have by the others, for twill you.

THE PukEsr PEARL
FROM THE GERMAN.


Beside the churah door, a weary and lone.
a blind woman sat on the cold door stone: "
The wind was bitter. the snow tell fast, -
And lnOckiDg voice in the ftful blast
Seemed ever TO echo her meaning cry, ID
AS she begged her aims from the passers- by ~
" Have pity on me, have pity, pray;
My back il bent and my hair is gray" s-4ti
The bells were ringing the hour of prayer,
And many good people were gathered there,
But covered with furs and mantles warm. 81 "a
They hurried past through the wintry storm
Some were hoping their souls TO save aiai f.
And some were thinking Of death and the grave
And, alas they hsd no time to heed
The poor soul askiDg for charity's need. #
And some We're blooming with Deauty's grace,
But closely muffied with wells of lace;
They sAW liot the sorrow and heard not the moan
Oh her who sat on the cold door stone.
At last came one of noble name, ii,
By the city counted the wealfhiest dame.
And the pearls that Der her neck we've strung
She proudly there to the beggar flung
Then followed a maiden young and fair, 1sfz
But her dress was thin. and scanty, and worn,
Not even the beggar seemed more forlorn.
With tearful look and = pitying sigh, -s.t
She whispered soft, = Ne jewels nave r.

A Mean Trick of a Prospective
BrOther-in-law.

A rather contemplate, trick, was
played on one of our. young clerks
Sunday night. He bought a cut-gIass
bottle Of cologne, with glass stopper
and pink ribbon, to present to young
lady he is keeping company with, but
OH reaching the house he felt little
embarrassed for fear there were MEM
bersl of the family preseut, and so he
left the beautiful gift on the stoop and
passed in. The movement was per-
ceived by graceless brother of the
young lady, who appropriated the
cologne to his o wn use and reflled the
bottle with hartshorn from the family
jar, and then hung round to observe
the result. In little while the young
man slipped out on the stoop and Sc
cured the splendid gift, slipped back
again into the. parlor, where, with
few appropriate words, he pressed it
upon the blushing girl. Like a good
and faithful daughter that she was'slie

charmed. They didn't put up scent
stuff like that when she was a girl !;
it was kept I'M china tea-cup, and it
was held together by samples of all
the family's hair. But she was very
much pleased with it. She drew ont

The Old Manse.

One of the clergymen in Peoria has
been living in a parsonage that did
not come up to his idea of what min.
lister should enjoy. Recently he was
called upon TO announce that there
would be mite society at the minis
terial dwelling. He said, "There will
be a mite society on Thursday even
ing. This parsonage is little, old,
tumble-down building on street"
Some of the oldest ones of the congre-
CATION took umbrage at this. while
the younger ones laughed. In the ev-
ening the, parson was called upon to
make the announcements. After say
ing that the mite society would be
held at the parsonage, he paused a
moment, and then remarked "On the
corner of the street, near the residence,
is a well. Said well is covered and
clapboarded. 1t is unpainted and
weather-worn but wish to describe
it so that none of you may make a
mistake and take the well for the par

Wit and Humor of the Bible.


From the Independent.
Shocking !" many a good old saint
will cry at the very thought of it.
ssThe Bible jest book What god
less folly shall we have up next Primo
the Bible is not jest book but there
is wit in. it of the first quality, and
good reason why it should be there
Take a few specimens: Job, in his
Both chapter, is telling how he scorned
the lowlived fellows who pretended
to look down upon him in his adver-
stiles. They are fools they belong to
the long cared fraternity. Anybody
with less wit might come out bluntly
and call them asses. But Job puts it
more dettly(xxx, o.: Among the
bushes they brayed under the nettles
they were gathered together" If
that is not wit there is no such thing
as wit. And yet the commentators
don't see it, or won't see it. They are
perfectly wooden when they come to
any such CLEAN OF humor. Take an
other instance-Elijah' ridicule of
the prophets of Baal. They are clam
oring to their god to help them out of
a very awkward predicament. And,
while they are at it, the prophet shows
them up in way that must have
made the people roar with laughter.
The stiff, antiquated style of our Eng
lish Bible tames down his sallies.--
Take them in modern phrase. These
quack prophets have worked them-
selves into a perfect desperation, and
are capering about on the altar as if
they had the St. Vitus dance. The
scene Il Kings, xviii, 26, I'D wakes up
all Elijah's sense of the ridiculous
:. Shout louder, He is god, you,
know. Make him hear! Perhaps he
is chatting with somebody, or he is
off on hunt, or gone travelling. On. +
may be he is taking nap, Shout
away! Wake him up |" Imagine the
priests going through their antics ON
the altar, while Elijah bombards them
in this style at his leisure. Ii Mr.,
Beecher ever sSid anything that con-
vulsed his audience more thoroughly I
than the prophet must have done, tho
Jews around him, l should ike 10
hear it. Paul shows dry humor
more than once, as in I'd Con-, xii, l3:
g Why haven't you Jared as well as
the other churchesp Ahi there is one !
arievance-that you haYnt had me to
support. Pray do not lay it up against
me !" These instances might be mul- B
,iplied from tho Old and New Testa-
nent both. What DO they show2
That the Bible is, on the whole, a hu-
morons ubject--that we are to throw )
all the wit we can into the treatment
of it? No. But they show that a
sense of the ludicrons is put, into a
man by his Maker; that it has its uses, i
aud that we are not TO be ashamed OF
it, or to roll up our eyes in holy hor-
ror of il. 80 ~ .---t
