German Syrup"

No other medicine in the world was ever
given such test of its curative qualities
as Boschee's German Syrup. In three
years two million four hundred thousand
small bottles of this medicine were dis.
tributed free of charge by druggists in this
country othose afflicted with consumption,
asthma, Group, severe coughs. pneumonia
and other diseases of the throat and lungs,
giving the American undeniable proof that
German Syrup will cure them. The re.
suit has been that druggists in every town
and village in the United States are re-
commenting them to their customers. &c

about it. Sample bottles 10 : cents

cured and the grey hair restored to its
natural color, the hair stopped falling
out and is growing beautifully. By

"a WIDOW AND HER CHILD

A singular instance of superstition came
to light not long since. which is thus re-
lated : Going into neighbor's house, one
day last week, | found one of the children
suffering from severe cough,and expressed
my opinion that it was Il case in which
medical assistance should be obtained
The mother Of the boy agreed that 1t was
very bad, but said that before calling 10 +:
doctor she intended to try cure that she
had long used in similar cases, and never
found to fail. On being pressed to com.
municate the prescription, she gravely in

make one hundred voyages. IF then the
present commerce of the Mississippi is Sc
enormous, what would be its limit after
the channel has been permanently y deep
pliance with the instructions Of the st.
Paul convention, this committee asks con-
gress to grant an appropriation for the
improvement of the Mississippi, and to
authorize the expenditure, under the
supervision of government engineers, OF
definite sums upon specific portions of the
river, as follows;
Upon the section from st. Paul TO the
head of keokuk Rapids, 600
From the foot Of Keokuk Rapids dst to the the
mouth Of the Illinois. $50 miles$383. 900
From the mouth Of the Illinois to Cairo,
200 miles. ........ $500, 900
From Cairo to New Orleans. 1000
miles ..,. 500 000
These amounts are for specific purpose,
namely, the deepening of the channel OF
the river from st. Paul to New Orleans.
and are for an entirely different purpose
| than the appropriations annually made for
the clearing out of snags and lighting the
river; and considerable portion of the
amount asked for, and also of the annual
appropriations, as above stated, should be
| chargeable to the Ohio. Tennessee, Cum
| berland, and other rivers, from the fact
that the commerce of all these rivers floats
on the Mississippi below the mouth of the
Ohio to the ocean, 200 miles-and are
equally benefited; so that it would not be
just to charge the entirety of these appro-
prIations to the Mississippi river.
1t will be seen that this committee does
not ask for fabulous amount, with view
to attempting to make ship channel to
st. Louis, which is neither considered
practicable nor desirable, but asks for such
an amount from st, Paul to the canal at
Des Moines rapids as will secure five
foot channel at the lowest stage of water,
and from the canal to the mouth of the
Illinois river as will secure six feet, and
from there to New Orleans (l0) ten feet
of water, and with that depth the business
and commerce of the Mississippi Valley
can be as cheaply and as proftably done,
as on twenty feet"
The concluding remarks contain an
urgent appeal for due consideration, on the
part Of Congress, "of the present magni-
tude, the future possibilities, the wants,
and the imperative needs of this great
river, and the people living in the valley
OF the Mississippi and its tributaries. -

of evil and corrupt association, also
to direct your thoughts and actions in
such manner as to fit you for all the
nobler and higher attainments of
full manhood.
Now if you have already acquired
the habit of social drinking and
licentiousness, the only true road to
reformation is to break away from
those with whom you have in The
past associated. They may be genial
good fellows, open hearted and gen.
erous, and endowed with intellectual
and social qualities, and yet they
may be unfit companions for you in
resolutions of reform, for the very
reason that they frequent places
where social drinking is the custom,
and where RIGHTEOUSNESS is INDUCED
in to the fullest extent. If you try
to reform under such circumstances
you will fail, and ere many years

would have every minister of
Christ put temperance where God
puts it-in his heart and IN the daily
activities and perils of life. If into
that door faithful preaching brings a
soul to Christ, and at that rear door
the bottle tempts another soul TO
ruin, what right has the pulpit to
preach to that door, and turn its back
upon the other? To day the decan-
ter and the dramshop are sending
more souls to perdition than all our
pulpits are saving with the bless
ing of God upon thier efforts Think
a moment of that. The decanter and
dram-shop are running more homes
and more hearts, and destroying
more souls, than all our pulpits and
Sabbath Schools are saving. And
yet we meet many men who tell us
that this is question outside of the
church. the ministry, the Sunday
School, and the prayer meeting.
Let some of you tell me how often
in your social prayer-meeting you
hear prayer made for the drunkard
or for the salvation of our boys from
the bottle and the drunkard's doom.
People pray for China and the islands
of the sea, for the overthrow of sup
erstition and the casting down of
heathenis.n, and this is all right but
silent is their lip towards God in ref
erence to that insatiate demon that
is bearing away one hundred thous-
and souls into drunkard's grave
every year. If you will tell me how
often this great question is brought
forward in social prayer-meetings.
monthly concerts, Sabbath Schools,
and churches, l will tell you how
stands the temperance tide in that
Christian community. We have got
to dig deeper and go more thorough
ly to the roots of things than by
mere resolutions and conventions
and the formation of parties on pa
per. Every one of us will have to
take this question before God on our
knees, as lover of his country and
his kind, and ask him to give us
courage, wisdom, tenderness and
power to dc our part in the great
question of the hour.-ReU. T. Il.

The Temperance Wave.

A great revolution is sweeping
over the land. A mighty king; whose
subjects are unceunted, is getting dis
reputable. The ruled are turning
against the ruler, the victims against
the despot. The movement exceeds
breadth and depth everything of the
kind since the Washington reform of
half-a century ago. 1t has one singu-
lar feature, namely, an origin within
the ranks of the liquor party. Out
from the bar-reom, the gutter, the
Jail, comes one man who sets the ball
rolling, and in three years has a
million OF helpers from the same
class. Where the reform wave rolls
crime is diminished, money and
health saved, and happiness enjoyed.
The population Of whole cities and
large towns are in exultation. Bells
are rung for joy. Women, poor and
crushed women, weep tears of re-
joicing. Intemperance and drunken
ness are sins. Drunkard-making is
a crime. To cease from these in
EQUITIES glorifies God, and tlesses
man.

TEMPERANCE DEPARTMENT.
Take a Stand.


If temperance men would take a stand,
And show their true position,
Nor yield point to friend or foe,
Or scheming politician;
If they would fight for principle,
For justice and for right,
And whatsoever they find to do,
Would do it with their might, e,
Our land which now is so corrupt ,41
That all good men abhor 1t, % 70
Might lift her trailing banner up,
b And be the better for it.
If those for whom we cast our vote
Would not SO oft betray us,
And, weakly shrinking from their trust,
On errors side array us;
If they would only bravely stand
And face the willy foe,
And in each point Of right or wrong
Say firmly yes or no, 81
Our land which now is so corrupt
That GIL good men abhSr it,
Might lift her trailing banner up,
And surely be better for it.
