The MODERN TANTALUs is altogether
the opposite of his great namesake. The
latter as punishment from the gods for
an infraction of their commands was con-
demned to perpetual thirst, and immoy-
ably fixed in water to his chin. What
must have been his feelings to see that
fluid, which more than all the world be-
sides, he wanted, within his reach, and be
powerless to drink it What refinement
of cruelty must be such a punishment.
How different our feelings to his antitype,
who though suffering from sickness all the
time, having means to meet the cost Of
alternating his ailment, yet deliberately
neglects using the remedies to his recovery.
The majority of sickness arises from the
torpidity of the liver, and can be dissipated
and prevented by the use of that valuable
elixir tonic the Home Stomach Bitters.

First Learn, Then Teach.

REV. C. II. STURGEON recently preached
q sermon from the text Sow to your
selves in righteousness; reap in mercy"
Urging the importance of a true personal
sowing, in order to personal reaping that
shall really avail, he used the words
quoted below. They form (says the N.
Y. independently a sensible and substantial
argument for having all converts carefully
taught in our Sunday schools, as well as
by all other means. Mr.. Sturgeon said:
'"The first thing after conversion to
Christ is confession to Christ, and tho
next is instruction in Christ. fear that
too many protessed converts leap over
these hedges and endeavor to become
teachers at once. They call themselves
disciples and repudiate all discipline.
They say they are soldiers Of the cross;
but they can neither march in line nor
keep step, neither will they submit them
selves to order. They appear to think that
the moment they are born they are
fathers; the instant they are enlisted they
are officers Now, conversion Is the be-
ginning OF the spiritual life and not the
climax of it. 1t makes a man disciple,
and the main thing disciple has to do is
to learn. After he has learned he will be
able to teach others also; but not till then.
have often said to you that nothing can
come out of you that is not in you; and,
therefore, if there is not something put
into you, to begin with, you may go out to
war, but as you have neither shot nor
powder in your gun the enemy will not be
much injured by your valor. We must
be filled before we can run over. 1t is
necessary for the Christian man TO be pre-
pared for holy service; that, in tact, what
he does for God should be harvest grow
ing out Of himself, because of \ previous
seed time, during which much precious
seed was put into him."

O'Clock some one knocked at Mr.. More
houses door and asked for a drink of
water. The family had retired, and,
supposing the stranger to be tramp,
he was told the well WAS outside and
he could help himself This is sup
posed to have been Hammell, who
was found near by the next morning.
Coroner Purdy arrived, summoned a
jury and began to inquire, according to
law, how and by what means the man
then and there lying dead came to his
death. DR.. Lester looked at the supposed
remains, and, after a careful examination,
said the man was alive. They laughed at
him, but he insisted SO strongly that life
was still within the stiiiened body that
Nicholas Durnir, brother-in. law of the
deceased, caused the body to be removed
to his store. The Coroner's inquest was
then interrupted, and the inquest, and per-
haps a funeral, was averted.
1t was about eleven a. M that DR.. Les
ter commenced his work OF restoring life.
Between two and three in the afternoon he
was enabled to pry open his patients
mouth and administer some hot sling.
Soon after the eyes opened and closed,
and the phys clan felt sure of his case,
while those who had commended that the
man was dead were satisfied of their
error. About seven o'clock in the even
ing he showed more signs of life, and
seemed to make an effort to speak. He
remained unconscious, however, until
about four O'Clock Saturday morning,
when he awoke as from long dream. He
could not remember the past but knew,
however, that he started for home, and all
after that was blank BY nine O'Clock
Saturday morning consciousness was fully
restored, and although his fingers, toes,
nose and ears are badly frozen, he will re-
cover.-Rocheste, IN. ~ Democrat and

tEThe attention Of those who believe

~The attention Of those who believe
the Democrats in Congress seriously in
tend to retrench is respectfully directed to
few OF their measures of reform which
we print in cur Washington dispatches.
Ex- Confederate Postmaster-General Rea-
gan comes forward with two very inter-
esting bills, one Of which appropriates
$4,000 10 pay the election expenses OF
six gentlemen who, he claims, were elect
ed to Congress, but refused admission,
and the other provides, in effect, for the
payment OF rebel war claims. Mr.. Will
shire, of Arkansas, has proposed two
equally remarkable measures OF reform.
One OF them contemplates the restoration
TO the pension roll of all veterans Of the
war o. 1912 whose names were erased for
disloyaliy, and the payment TO them. or
their heirs, of their pensions, not only
from this time on, but for all the time
they were fighting against the Union.
The other bill does away with the Court
of Claims and, virtually, places the adju-
dication Of rebel wir.clsims in the hands
of rebel judges and juries. Mr. Harris,
OF virginia, also has bill which Is lev
eled at the public purse. These are but
few of the much-talked. of reforms which
the Democrats propose 10 inaugurate, but
they serve TO show the spirit that animales
