THE WORLD WITHOUT SUNDAY,

Think how the abstraction of the
Sabbath would hopelessly enslave
the working classes, with whom we
are identified Think of the labor
thus going on in the monotonous
and eternal cycle, limbs forever on
the rack, fingers forever straining,
the brow forever sweating, the foot
forever plodding, the brain forever
throbbing, the shoulders forever
dropping, the loins forever aching,
the restless mind forever scheming |!
Think of the beauty it would ef-
feet, the merry heartedness it would
extlnguish, of the giant strength it
would tame, of the resources of ma
ture it would crush, of the sickness it
would bring, of the projects it would
wreck, of the groans it would extOrt,
of the lives it would immediate, and
OF the cherries graves it would pre-.
maturely dig! See them toiling and
moiling, sweating and fretting, grind
ing and hewing, weaving and spin
ming, sewing and gathering, NOV
ing and repairing, raising and build
ing, digging and planting, striving
and struggling-in the garden and
the field, in the. granery and the
barn, In the factory and the mill, in
the warehouse and the shop, on the
mountain and in the ditch, on the
roadside and in the wood, in the
city and in the country, out at sea
and on shore, in the day of bright
ness and of gloom.-What picture
would this world present if we had
no Sabbath

ANSWERED PRAYER.

In one Of our cities a few years
ago lived two maiden sisters, who
were dependent on daily earnings
for daily bread, yet rich in faith in
the promises of the God they loved.
BY close economy they had laid
aside little for a time of need.
Their landlord told them that the
house which they had occupied
many years at a merely nominal rent,
must be torn down to make way for
block of stores and they must
move at once. After a long search
they could find no tenement within
their means. They had notice to
vacate the next day. In this ex-
remity the elder said, "Let us lay
our case before the Lord in prayer.
He will surely open some way be.
fore u.s." They did, and left the
burden with God.
Early the next morning a friend
called and said to them, 81 hear that
you are obliged to move. Have you
found any other place ?" They told
him they had not. 81 have a small
house on L-Street vacant, which
| will sell you on reasonable terms if
it suits you" "But we have no
means with which to purchase a
house, only $500 in the city bank. a"
'Let that be the first payment, and
give me your note on three years
time for the rest" They accepted
TIE terms gladly, feeling that He,
without whose notice the sparrow
does not fall to the ground, had
heard and answered the cry of His
children. A the end ~ the time
agreed they wned their iiitle homo
free from deb, ana were able TO
give to other needy ones az the Loi d
prospered them.-4naerican NeSsen-

Every year Increases the popularl-
ty of this valuable Hair Preparation;
which is due to merit alone. We
can assure our old patrons that it is
kept fully up to its high standard;
and it is the only relia BILE and perfect
cd preparation for restoring GRAY
OR FADED HAIR to its youthful color,
making it soft, lustrous, and silken.
The scalp, by its use, becomes white
and clean. 1t removes all eruptions
and dandruff, and, by its tonic prop
critics, prevents the bair from falling
out, as it stimulates and nourishes
the hair-glands. By its use, the hair
grows thicker and stronger. In
badness, it restores the capillary
glands to their FORMAL vigor, and
will create a new growth, except In
extreme old age. II is the most eco
nomical HAIR DRESSING ever used,
as it requires few er applications,
and gives the hair a splendid, glossy
appearance. A. A. Hayes, MD,
State Assayer of Ma sachusetts, says,
"The constituents a re pure, and care
fully selected for e cellent quality ;
and consider it the BEST PREPA-
RATION for its inter ded purposes"

IOWA NEWS.

The Register says man and wo-
man named Wallingford, living near
Bonaparte, were found dead in their
bed, Friday morning last. tits sup
posed they committed suicide. No
poison was found, and the only rea-
SON assigned for supposing that they
met their fate through the agency Of
deadly drug was the suddenness
of their taking off.
A search was instituted for some
thing that could throw light on the
mystery, and confession was found,
in W allingford's handwriting and
signed by him, stating that he had
been implicated in number of swim
ding real estate operations, forg-
ing deeds, and other nefarious prac-
tees. The confession closes by
stating that some of these transac-
tons would soon be discovered, and
intimated that suicide was the only
resort left him. So far there seems
a reasonable explanation OF his
death, but the mystery connected
with the suicide of Mrs. Wallingtord
is yet unsolved. She is said to have
been women of excellent charac-
ter, favorite in the neighborhood,
and a woman of more than ordinary
intellectual attainments. She had
not lived happily with her husband,
who was coarse, rough man, and
dissolnte in his habits. tbs said that
he had mistress on his farm, and
= had but recently compromised suit
= brought against him for seduction
1t is thought by some that Walling
fsrd had made confession of hi
misdeeds to his wife and that they
had mutually agreed on suicide
Others suppose that he administer
ed the deadly drug to her withOu
her knowledge and then drank tn
fatal cup himself. Still another con
lecture is that the wife, weary wit
lite and crazed at the treatment sh
received, had deliberately poisoned
both herself and him.
The body of the son of Philli,
Sharkey of Floyd county, was toun
in the river on Sabbath last. Th
deceased W mt to the river last jan
is uary to water some cattle but neve
h returned. Search discovered tw
r spots of blood near the hole wher
- the cattle had been watere
and the hole in the ice was ais
bloody. The advocate says tn
= probabilities are that the boy labor
ed under a temporary fit of insanit.
- inficting the two wounds found
, his throat with his knife and finain
u. he would probably fail in that, close
his knife, endeavored to return it t
his pocket, and still being determir
ed in his resolution, walked an
threw himself in to the river.
