MIR. BEECllER's ROMANCE, TOLD
IN HIS SERMON

rom was a strapping, healthy boy,
with a great appetite. He lived up i'm
the mountains among the cha rcoal
burners until he was nineteen. Then
he went out into the valley and hired
out to a farmer. Tom was a sculliOn
and drudge, and first along the farm
er hesitated to trust even the hogs to
his care. But there was a glimmerinr
Of something in him that showed lust
q little through his uncouthness. After
a year or so he became a full farm
labOrer-a brOad-shouldered, deep
chcsted, powerful fellow, who made
himself clumsily useful. Well, about
that time the farmers daughter came
home from school. What revelation
she was to Tom. He never knew un-
til then what it was to worship any
thing, nor how awkward and coarse
he was: He would have given all he
had, which wasn't much, to learn how
to get into a room without hitting the
door, or what to do with his hands, or
how to sit down right. lie began to
change his clothes for better ones
when he came in from the DAYS work,
and there was about him dawning of
improvement. Finally the great day
came. He stood trembling behind the
farmers daughter, the hard word was
spoken, and she didn't repulse him. 1
think there is nothing in the life of
man which so rouses and stirs him as
love. Tom vert to the wrestling
matches, and what vim there was in
him. lie read, he went to church, he
wanted to see how people acted. And
when, after a good life, he grew to be
an old man, he talked in a trembling
voice to his grand children, and used
to say, so, what a wife she was to me.
Whatever l became she made me"
The world is full of just such instances
of blessed influence.

NEW TREATMENT FOR CONSUMP.
TlON.

DR.. William Koch, of Berlin, we'll
known to specialists from his investi-
cations in the domain of modern sur
gerry, and from his treatise on gunshot
fractures, has discovered new meth
cd of treatment for consumption. 1t
consists in healing up the affected por-
tions of the lungs by injections of
iodine, so as to check the process of
fostering, which is the origin of the
disease. The treatment has been tested
in the great hospitals of Berlin within
a short time, among others at the Roy
al Charity, in the presence of the most
eminent surgeons. All the reports Of
the cases in which this treatment has
been administered are favorable, and
hold out IA promise of a complete cure.
For many years DIR. Koch has been
trying the experiment with animals.
having tested it with more than three
hundred, at vast outlay of time and

Obituary.

Died in Warren, Feb. 20, of nervous ep- ilepsy, Emily, wife of Dea. Wm. Hopkins, aged 66
 A few words shall be added to the above, which will be very sad announce | ment to very many. Mrs. Hopkins was I the eldest daughter of the late Col. Dan and Mrs. Cinda (Starr) Carter, and inher- 1 ited very largely the natural vigor of her parents. Joining the Congregational church at the age of thirteen, she remain 1 ed an earnest steadfast and devoted mem Der for nearly forty-three years. Her pi- ety, while undemonstratiye, made sure her fidelity in the discharge of ife's du- 1 ties It is rare that one is found who so 'twoman whose. price is above rubies :" As the wife of Dea. Hopkins, she was called to take a very prominent part in all social and religious movements in her na- 1 tive town, and how we'll she filled her sphere is shown by the sense of loss which her death has occasioned. She has been & pillar of strength and comfort to every ! thing that was good. Her pastors ex- precision, at the funeral, of his deep be- i reavement could not fail to be felt by all to be most sincere. Besides the irrepara- ble loss in her own family, ''when her children arise up and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praiseth her, D the whole community IS made the poorer when such a woman dies Her last sick ness was very short. She died without a groan or struggle-sweetly fell asleep. The death expressed by Pope was realized l in her case:
 Cease fond nature, cease thy strife, 1 And let me languish into life'' She left particularly delightful home ! by the side of the Lake to enter a better mansion by the ''River of Life.''

town takes out no license to sell, and yet keeps up the traffic? To be sure there is no worldly wisdom in paying out $10O in
 to the town treasury, when one can sell without, saving that money and perhaps making all the morel To save the price of license is wise in the sense that the unjust steward was. Certainly the town has to take care of the paupers I make without this help from me: but the rest must do the more. Perhaps, dear Editor, you like this woman's movement to stop liquor selling. We'll, there is certainly no need of being illegal in their methods, and no doubt they can do much tempora- " good. But would it not be still better for the VOteGs to go, and talk over the matter? Your 'tgood time" has not come yet, when woman can put down the traf- lie by the ballot. She is yet on that com- mittee of the publc's whose duties are to sweep, mind parents, and to be taken care of generally. I refer to that body called ''women, children and idiots,'' of which woman is chairman Surely she ought to be satisfied with that dignity. But, as was saying, how much better for the voters to take this matter of temper ance in hand. It would mean more; and It would be after the fashion of good Dea.
