The horses which bring the highest
price in New York are those large

before a carriage. They are called
park horses" because they are adapted
for this form of driving. they must be

terred, but other colOB are in demand.
These park tearns,' as the name i'm

every afternoon they may be seen by the
hundreds pranc;ng along with lofty step
and snowy STYLE They are rot wanted
for speed bat fer display. Fast driving
IS prohibited in the park, but out on the
" road" beyond the park the trotters
have it all to themselves. In New York
the horses of the most fashionable turn
outs have their tails cut square off It
is called the "English style" There
are two forms, one to, cut the hair Just
below the. bone, and tie other to cut it
square of q little above the hooks.
Some Of the most elegant teams are not
bobbed after this fashion, but wear their
tails as long as they chance to grow.
Doubtless the owners have more regard
for their comfort in fY time, or, perhaps,
they. like US, do not fancy this awkward

Let the Bond be Fulfilled.

John Sherman rules that, as he has
sold seventy million dollars worth of
bonds for gold, they must be paid in gold,
no matter what the bonds themselves say
they are payable in. The contract for
payment is a specific contract, and is
plainly expressed on every bond. What
a man buys his bonds with has nothing
in law, to do with what ne agrees to res
ceiye in payment. John Sherman did not
apply his present rule to the fYe-twenty
bonds. They were made payable in
"IawfuI money" and were bought
with greenbacks, " lawful money" John
Sherman's present rule would make them
payable in greenbacks, even though the
bonds said they should be payable in
coin, for the government sold them for
greenbacks. They must be paid in
money of the SAME kind of money for
which they were sold, says the secretary.
The following tabular statement of the
issue of bonds sold for greenbacks, and
the gold value received for them is in
point:

The Christians Reward.

Inasmuch as ye have done it unto
one of the least of these, We have done it
unto Me-" This commentator is made
most sure and comprehensive, The
time for His verdict is marked. 1t is
not now. Do not be anxious to have
your services recognized on this earth.
You will be terribly disappointed if you
do The men who live in Christ's stead
are lonely men. They bear the sins, the
SORROWS and the woes of the world.
Only here and there is there a Lazarus,
q Martha, a Mary, or a John, to share
the secrets of their hearts and lives.
There is only one class who have their
reward now. The Master said, /" say
unto you, Pharisees, ye shall have your
reward Dear friends, it is when the
Master comes that our service shall be
measured and rewarded. This most
glorious time will come, and then He
declares each act shall be personally
recognized. The commendation shall
come from the lips of the great king, not
from our fellow courtiers. You must
not expect, Christian, to have unremit-
ting love and unalleyed Justice from the
church of God. You will not get it if
you anticipate it. You must not expect,
even from the ministry of God, unfailing
justice. The desire for earthly applause
is only a temptation of Satan to divert
us from obedience to the Master. It is
from Jesus alone that the " well done" is
to come. He speaks it unto conscience,
and the soul sits quietly in its solitary
communion to realize His APPROVAL

Now

II is said that q God respecteth ad-
verbs more than verbs" He cares more
to have man work well than to have
him merely work. And there is one adj
verb that it is Gods will that we should
esteem more highly than it is our custom
to do, and that is the adYerb now. We
live in the past, we live In the future,
and the present we allow to slip through
our hands. Yet we are dead to the past,
we are not born to the future, and the
present is eur only time for doing, enjoy
ing, living.
How constantly, as we go on in life and
meet fresh trials and sorrows, are we dis
posed to exclaim, with Job, Oh, that l
were as in the months past, as in the
days when God preserved me- when
His candle .sbined upon my head; and
when by His light 1 walked through
darkness" Then I would.kbe content
and thankful. The woman, bereft of
her husband, but blessed with a child,
mourns over her past happiness, regard.
less of her present source OF Joy. The
child is taken from her, and then she
bitterly reproaches herself for past Lack
of resignation, and asks, "Oh,s. why was
so ungrateful while my child was spared
to me ? This new bereavement is judg-
ment upon me for my rebellion" And
even were every one of our nearest and
dearest taken from us, should not the
Christian heart exclaim, My Saviour is
left. He is the One whom my soul low
eth, the chiefeth among ten thousand,
and altogether lovely. He will be my
greatest joy throughout eternity, and he
says to me now:
"Can suffice for Heaven, and not for earth ~
We must indeed think of the past to
profit by the experience it has given US,
to repent of our sins, and to make
reparation where we have injured any
one, but we must not let our life be in
the past. We should use the past only
to live better, to live more fully in the
present. As regards the future, there is
a certain provision for it that is the duty
of the present hour; but beyond that,
we should stihe anxiety and fear as not
belonging to US. We should remember
how often we have allowed ourselves to
be distracted by dread of future diff
Guilty or sorrow, and when the time and
place were reached, 10 the heavy stone
was already rolled away, and angels with
blessings stood awaiting US. We may
rest assured that if we do our part in the
present, God will take care of the future.
With us Christians, the bitterness OF
past days, whatever it may have been,
! should be both dead and buried. For
is that bitterness sin? After repentance
| and all possible reparatiOn for wrong
| doing, it is both duty and a privilege
to rejoice in forgiveness.-[ Church Jour

a DebatabIe Question.

While much has been written concerning
the use of "put up" medicines, the ques-
ton is still an open one, and demands OF
the people careful consideration. The sa-
lent points may be briefly stated and an
swered as follows: 1st-Are the sick capable
of determining their real condition, the ma
ture of their MALI dy, and selecting the pro-
per remedy or means OF cure? 2nd-Can
physician, no matter how skIllful, prepare
universal remedy adapted to the peculiar
ailments of a large class of people, residing
in different ATTITUDES, and subject to various
climatic influences? In answer to the hrst
proposition, we would say, diseases are
named or known by certain 'signs" or symp-
toms, and, as the mother does not need
physician to tell her that her child has
whooping-cough, or indicate remedy, so
people when afflicted with many of the
symptoms concOmitant to " impure blood"
"tOrpid liver" and "bad digestion, !" require
no other knowledge of their condition, or
the remedy indicated, than they already
possess. Second proposition Many physl-
clans argue that diseases are sectionally pc
! Culiar, and their treatment must therefore
vary, and yet quinine, morphine, podophyi-
| lin and hundreds of other remedies are pre-
/ scribed, in all countries, to overcome GER
/ tain conditions, Is it not, therefore, self
/ evident, that a physician whose large eXpe~
| rience has made him familiar with the
many phases incident to all impurities of
| the blood, general and nervous debility.
/
and catarrh, can prepare series of RENE
| dies exactly adapted to meet the conditions
manifest, wherever, and by whatever means
! it may have been engendered? The family
medicines prepar. by r. v Pierce, NJ. D.,
! of Buffalo, n. Y, fulfill the above require.
ments. Many physicians prescribe them in
their practice. His Golden Medical Dis
! covery has no equal as a blood purifier and
general tonic, while his Favorite Prescrip-
! ton cures those weaknesses peculiar to
women, after physicians have failed. His
! Pleasant Purgative Pellets, which are sugar

ISL VIII Not Fail Thee. NOr FOrsaEe
Thee

Earthly friends may fail US and if
we trust them, they will fail us and
fail US when we most need them. But
he that putteth his trust in the Lord
shall be safe. God promised Joshua
that He would not fail him. He allowed
others to try him, He made him pray.
He allowed him to fear. But he never
failed him in any struggle, but gave
him occasion and grace to appeal to Is
rael and say, " Ye know in your hearts,
and in all your souls, that not one
thing hath failed of all good things
which the Lord your God spake con-
corning you; all are come to pass unto
yeu, and not one thing hath failed
thereof" Well, what God said to
Joshua, He now says to us. He will not
fail us, therefore let US implicitly trust
in Him. He will not forsake us, there
fore let us boldly say, "I will not fear
what man can do unto me-" If God
will not fail, no matter who does. If
God will not forsake US, we can do
without the presence or help of any of
His creatures. But God will not fail US,
therefore let US rejoice in His name

berry committed by the coin act of March,
1869, in which Sherman aided and abet-
ted. 1t is 1926, $40, 1922. The interest
on the bonds was paid in gold. That is,
the purchaser of the bond for $40, $50, or
$50 could draw about 10 per cent. inter
est in lawful money on 800, and his
bonds were exempt from taxation beside.
