Thousands ofAmdavi ..

Many having used "patent and pre-
pared medicines aud fail in finding
the relief promised, are thereby preju-
diced against all medicines. Is this
right? Would you condemn al nphysic-
ians because one failed in giving the re-
lief promised? Some go to California
in search of gold, and after working
hard for months and finding none, re-
turn home and say there IS no gold
there. Does that prove it? 5lany suf-
fering with Catarrh and pulmonary af-
fections have used the worthless prepa-
rations that crowd the mkrket, and in
their disappointment say there is no cure
for Catarrh. Does that prove it? Does
it not rather prove that they have failed
to employ thep roper remedy2 There
are thousands of people in the United
States who can make an affidavit that
DR.. Sages Catarrh Remedy and DR..
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery have

lost all sense Of smell for months, and
pieces of bone had repeatedly been re-
moved from the nasal cavities.

Combination.

Coordination is the genius of the
present age" These few words mould
the rough metal to a coin that can be
easily stored away with our precious
things, or pass current for our mental
or moral needs.
Ages and ages ago 1t was written in
the Book: ga three-fold cord is not
quickly broken - and the women of this
| Christian era have read it over and over
again, and said in effect, "Well! and
what of it"
We learned in our childhood of the
old hero and philosopher who, in illus
tration of the strength ofunion, produc-
ed bundle of twiss, any one of which,
alone, might be easily snapt asunder;
but when bound together they could
not be broken. Perhaps women have
failed to see the force of this rough old
metaphor, which appeals more directly
to sense than thought. Perhaps, with
the individuality of our natures and du-
ties and circumstances, We have realiz-
! ed less than than we should the impor-
tance and force of union.
But to come at the conclusion of the
whole matter at once, this must be said,
that the everywhere prevalent evil that
we seek to subdue, so mighty, so COM
bined, so persistent, can never be sue
cessfully encountered single-handed
With the forces providentially at work
Illustrating so clearly and extensively
the baseness of the traffic, and the mo-
raj delinquency of the trafficer, we have
only, as a nation of Christian women, to
take a firm and united stand in our
work to advance our age many degrees
higher.

(Dnyuns.

Onyuns are fine froot, and are be-
loved by all who like them.
They belong to the Garlick race.
They grow with their heads down
wards, like the DEVILS apples, and their
forked ends sticking upwards in the air.
l have seen boys do the same thing.
They air fine thing to cat raw, be-
fore you go to spark your girl on Sun
day night, for she noso you air comm

They air very healthy to eat, providin'
they air eaten raw and with good relish
Onyuns air very affectin', partickilar-
ly to the ize.
You should always carry an oynun
in your pockit when you go to rela.
tion's funeral, to whom you hev taken
natural ackuired dislike, for it will
help you to shed krockodile teers over
the coffin.
[Thc same will apply to winner

You might carry wun along with you

1t is sed they have great tendency Il

These diseases should not be neglected.

TEMPERANCE EREvNAL.-Francis Muir

interest in Pittsburgh by his oratory
and with his pledge and reform club.
The meetings are held in tle churches.
Over twelve hundred men have signed
the total abstinence pledge, swelling

members. The interest in the move
ment is on the increase. A number OF
prominent lawyers, ex-congressmen,

Remarks made by Mrs. A. r. Tupper,
Mt the recent Temperance Conven-
tion in Middlebury.

By request of members of the Union,
l address a few words to you this day
The ladies Of the Union have becu
faithful aud diligent in their labors dur
ing the past year, the prosecuting com.
mittee ever watchful, never faltering IN
their duty. Too much praise cannot be
given them for their earncstness and
well doing, as you that have visited the
rooms of the Reform Club to-day, can
testify to in the adornment of its walls
with beautiful autumn leaves and pic
lures. You will allow me to say this
without thinking me egotisticai, as
have done but very small amount Of
work with these ladies, my field of work
| lying in another direction, that of the
Good Templars.
And, Mr.. President,I am to-day very
glad that Middlebury has at last reused
herself from that slunber, from which
have feared she never would awake.
While other towns, and even the east
part of the town, were doing so much,
she slumbered, and | repeat, am very
happy to-day that her slumber has been
broken.
One word in regard to the pledge for
this society which has been presented to
you to-day. 1t seems to me incomplete
it needs this addition, wine: beer and
cider.
1t has been said by some that it is al
most impossible to save an aged habit
ual drinker; if so, then do now begin to
educate the little children in temper
ance, for to them must we look for the
salvation of this country from intemper
ance.

The Owl that Thought He Could Sing.

"What can bring people into the
groves to hear the nightingales singT'

The old owl didn't care and she didn't

any nightingale, and far stronger"
"Stronger, certainly, my son." said
the owl with blink, for the bat had
escaped.

The owl opened her round eyes very
wide, but said nothing.
Accordingly, when night came and
the hour for the sweet trilling oi tho
singing birds drew near, he flew heavi-

spicuous part of the grove that he might

Now, the nightingales did not by any

Moody on Temperance.

A Chicago correspondent says: Fri
day noon was the temperance prayer
meeting; and although the thermometer
was below zero, the Tabernacle contain
ed about six thousand, the largest noon
meeting which we have had. The sub
ject of the meeting was: 'Will these re-
formed men hold outr And Mr. MOODY
summoned TO the platform witnesses to
the power of God to keep a reformed
drunkard from falling. One had stood
firm twelve years, another eight years,
another four ycars, and up to the hour
when God broke their terrible shacklea
they were as low down as man can be.
by this awful appetite. But they testi-
fed that from the day when they laid
hold upon His arm, who is mighty to
save, not only had God kept them; but
their appetites had not returned, and
they hated the degrading cup, which

Another correspondent says: "Theu
passed to the meeting of converted
drunkards, held every evening, under
the north gallery of the Tabernacle.
About five hundred men were crowded
into the room, and the scene was one
never to be forgotten. No one, how
ever skeptical, could listen to those tes.
timonies and deny the supernatural in
the conversion of such men. Many o.
them had been down in the gutter off IL
temperance, separated from and dis
owned by their families, and longing to
die rather than live. Yet there they
were, clothed in their right minds, the
appetite for drink wholly taken away,
their eyes opened to higher life in
Christ Jesus, and their lips opened to
urge their companions to lay hold OIL
the Great Physician. 1t was grand
spectacle. And when the leader Of the
meeting, Mr. Sawyer, of New York,
himself a reformed man, asked that
those who wished for prayers that God
would deliver them from the demon OF
drink should raise their hands, it SEEM
ed as if half those present lifted their
their hands at once. Who can begin to
estimate the great and permanent good
accomplished by such meetings, and By
this new impetus given to the tempe
rance cause; for now this cause and the
gospel are joined together in Chicago,
and may no man or men ever put them
asunder."

How Forger Paid William II. Evarts

The most clever forgeries which had
been ever known, up to tho time of
their occurrence, were those Of Monroe
Edwards. This man really possessed
commercial genius, and had he devoted
himself TO legitimate business he would
have become a merchant prince. He
preferred fraud, however, and bore the
consequences. 1t is thirty-four years
since Monroe Edwards was convicted.
William N. Evarts was then a young
lawyer, and was retained in the defense.
1t is said he got his pay in forged
check. Edwards had great personal ele-
gance and grace of manners. He went
to England with forged letters from
Daniel Webster, travelling as John p.
him to their 'fsstel halls, and he actually :
borrowed Gl,000 to return with. In
this city he forged S25,0O0 on Brown
Brthers 81 Co., and by three clever for.
geries in Philadelphia he raised $4,000
more. His trial in this city was the
occasion Of James Weston Webbs due
with Tom Marshall. The latter was one
of the counsel for the defense, and made
severe reflections on Webb, Who chal.
lengcd him and got bullet IL the leg
Edwards was sentenced to jing Sing
for five years, and died before the OK
piration of the nce.--CUti ca Herald
