Galen, the most celebrated physician, fourIshed
in the second century. His theory that roots
and herbs, properly compounded, are Natures
remedy. Ills cures were SO marvellous that he
cess silenced his enemies, and his opinions held
sway in the medical world for centuries until the
art OF compromising vegetable remedies was grad
ually lest in the thiekt ming gloom Of the middle
ages, and loitonous mtDeral mix lures took its
place. But the clouds are breaking in day. and

The Children's Meeting.

noon with children. Mr.. Hammond was late, and
after the preliminary singing Mr.. Coe opened the
meeting by telling few stories and leading the
children in prayer. When Mr.. Hammond came
in he read few letters from little children who
had become Christians. Some OF the letterswere
very interesting. Many Of them were written in
O childish hand and were expressed In child Ian
guage. One Of the little ones-and they were
most all girls-said, g wear my covenant inside
my dress over my heart. 1 am not afraid to die
now, but last Sunday was" The little one re-
ferred to the 'covenant'i cards distributed among
the children BY Mr. Hammond.
Mr.. Hammond announced that the committee
having the meetings IN charge had voted 10 dis.
continue the children's meetings. There would
be one to-day. He asked the Children how many
Of them would vote to continue the meetings, and
| every hand was raised.
| DR.. Noble said that he was very sorry about
| disseminating the meetings. Mr.. Hammond was
| very hoarse, and they did not want to kill him,
and SO they had decided net to hold the cnldren's
meetings next week. He felt very sad about It.
They intended to have q large meeting for chill
| dren on Sunday afternoon, at 3 O'Clock, in the
| Congregational church, where three thousand
i children could be seated.
Mr.. Hammond then talked to the children for q
few minutes, and afterwards invited all who
| were sure that they loved Jesus to the room
1 below.
About one hundred and twenty. five responded

\ WORD TO FAKMERs.-Au exchange,
whose editor evidently knows what he is talk
ing about, gives some good advice 10 the FOL.
lowiog paragraph, which we commend TO the
careful consideration OF owners OF horses:
Let any one who has the care of u horse
these cold, frosty mornings, deliberately grasp
in his baud a piece Of irou; indeed, Ics him
touch it to the tip Of his tongue, aud then let
him thrust the bit Into the mou.h Of his horse,
if he has the heart to DO ii. The horse is an
animal vf oervcus organization. His mouth is
formed of delicate glands aud tissues. The
temperature OF the blood is the same as 10 the
human being, aud, as in man, the mcuth is the
waruest part of the body. Imagine, We re.
peat, the irritation that would De caused the
human, and consider that, if not to the same
degree, still the suffering Of the animal is very
great. And it is not momcntary pain. Food
is eaten with difficulty, and the irritation, re
peated day after day, causes loss Of appetite
aud loss OF strength. Macy a horse has become
worthless from no ott or cause than this.
