Testimony.

On Thanksgiving day went out in
the morning, and by dinner time had
had us many as SIX or seven drinks.
Went home in a condition in which
could only cat, and after eating, sleep.
| slept OH the sofa till toward evening.
then sauntered forth. After q short
visit at the house of my brother-in-law
| went out, not knowing or caring
whittier, having no definite purpose,
except to drink at every corner
on my way home. AT one place the
bar keeper said: "E'ill up the glass, it's
Thanksgiving day, you know" And
filled it up and went staggering on. An
unaccountable impulse turned me back
several times that night when l would
have taken certain direction, and my
steps wandered OIL and on, until came
to the great building where Moody and
Sankey were holding their meetings.
| drew nearer and nearer. A great
conflict was going on in my mind, and
it seemed as if God and Satan fought
together for my soul. could not go
away; | could not enter. And when
at last ! was enabled to rush to the
entrance, it was more as a maniac
might have gone there than reasOna-
bic man. Once inside, the lights, the
throng, the chorus of a hymn-thev
were singing-all helped to sober me.
And when the hymn ceased, and Mr..
Moody called out: sis there in this
throng any poor sinner who is so lost
that he cannot help himself? Let him
come forward here and we will ask
God to help him." l said, "That's me:
that message is for e,"-and down
the long aisle, pushing my way through
the crowd standing there, l almost ran
to the foot of the platform and seated
myself. When the invitation rang
forth again tried to rise, but the peo-
pie near me, seeing my condition, took
me by the arms and held me down.
whispering: "Sit still, you're drunk"
Drunk! Yes, knew it, but l had
heard the voice of God, and when the
invitation came again couldn't sit
still, and broke away from those who
held me, and rose. All, what an hour
followed. What prayers, and tears,
and struggles AT its close, some one
asked me if | would pray an hour after
my return home, for, if | would do so,
| might know that at the same hour
many hearts were praying in their own
homes for me. AS we were about to
separate, one good christian said,
''Why go home to pray for this soul?
Let us pray now and here" And we
stayed, and they prayed for me and !
prayed for myself, and ! was able to
come to Christ, and just as IIwas-yes.
drunk as | was, lie took me. And
from that glad hour, when l went
home to my wife with the good news
ofmy sins forgiven, He has kept me;
lie has shown in me His power to save
"to the uttermost.'

And rose and ycw and tender myrtle blent
To crown the harp that rang to love and woe
Awake o Poetess, and vow one strain

What does il give to us, this mother love
In verse and tale and legend glorined,
Chosen by lips divine as type above
All other passions? Men have lived and died
fOr sisters, maiden queens, and cherished wives
Yet, sealed by God, the one chief love survives
Yet what is it il gives us? Shrinking dread,
:. Peril, and pain, and agony forgot,
Because we hold the ray ofgladness shed

worth all that has been paid, is vet to INV
For the new worship, born and crowned that tlav

That never knows itself, so deep IL lies,
The eager taking up of every trial

Watching and guiding, loving, longing, praying,
NO coldncss dalnting, and no wrong dislnaving.
And when the lovely bud to blossom wakes,
And when the soft, shy dawn. star flashes bright,

Another wins the gladness of the light;

TIE CHINESE FAMINE.-The Well-fed
American pnblic reads in the Asiatic
news of the day that seventy millions of
human beings are starving to death i'm
four provinces of China, and the an
nouncement makes less impression up-
on it than the death of almost any dis
tinguished man of our own nation.
And yet if the busy throng reflects long
enough to catch the significance ofthese
figures it should be startled and appal-
led by the magnitude of suffering and
death which they represent. For these
seventy millions are men and women
and their children. They are human
in their anatomy, human in their
thoughts, affections, hopes, fears and
aspirations, and this almost countless
swarm is threatened with wholesale
starvation. Let us imagine every man,
woman and child in the United States
and the Canadas with only the scantiest
store of the coarsest food on hand and
no hopes of replenishing it, and TO
this number add about twenty millions
more in the same condition and we shall
get an idea of the extent and grow inp
horror of the Chinese famine. Take
ali the living human beings on the globe
and here are a sixteenth of them i'm the
fearful extremity of famine. IL Is the
problem of life and not of indigestion
with which they are contending, and
Il seems likely TO prove too knotty for
their solution.

n correspondent says ne aged poet
long ago ceased from the active edito-
rial management of the Evening Post
The responsible duties belonging to that
position of honor and power have been
delegated to younger hands. The wishes
of the nominal chief, however, are al
ways consulted, and he continues his at
tendance at the Office almost daily, re-
gardless of weather lie is fond of
walking, and mostly reaches the office
in that way. lie is as full Of the old
time pride of journalism as ever, but
seldom ventures to write for the paper.
lie is conscious that modern journalism
has advanced far ahead of even his best
ideas OF it, and is gratitied thereat. His
principal employment nowadays is
partly that of answering letters from
persons in all parts of the country So
Letting his autograph. He generally
responds. Another, and a numerous
class of correspondents are of the beg
ging persuasion. Persons of both SEX
es, broken down in circumstances,
who "have for years read and admired
his poetry and his public addresses"
lay their sorrows at his feet, and in
their last extremity solicit help. If he
was millionaire he could exhaust his
fortune in brief period. lie discrim-
mates in his gifts. lie has no respect
for the chronic "bummer." As to
"bores,' he is occasionally indulgent,
always courteous. Having his time
largely at his own disposal, he seems
to enjoy listening to the twaddle of per-
sons who call to see him '.just to have
talk with him." and permits them to
rattle themselves out, apparently mark
ing in his mind how and where they
began and how long it takes them to
reach the end of their string. lie en-
joys visits from sensible persons, who
solicit few words with him as the
qualification of their lives. Many such
pay their respects to him, and make
their visits brief. lie makes all well
come with cordiality that is unfailing.
He lays aside anything like formality
or conventionalism, just as he ever did
in receiving friends and acquaintances.

The CRISIS.

What think you would be the result
if the earth should stop spinning around
the sun! Were you ever near large
and intricate machine when one of its
wheels became clogged or broken
near enough TO hear the grating, JAR
ring clash, the sudden, deafening
crash? Astronomers assure us that
precisely similar effects, only OH an in
conceivably grander scale, would be
produced if our earth -onc of the
wheels in the universe-machine -
should suddenly cease its revolutions.
In other words, there would be gem
eral clash and crash of satellites, plan
cts and systems. What we term fnan-
cial crises are due to similar causes.
One of the wheels in the finance-ma-
chine becomes clogged, perhaps shat
tered. The terrible Wall-street ''crash"
which follows is communicated to ev-
cry part of the financial mechanism of
the country. But analogies do not stop
here. There is that other mechanism,
the most intricate of all - sometimes
called an organism because il generates
its own iOrces-the human machine.
When one of its members fails to per-
form its office, the whole system is
thrown into disorder. Members before
considered unassailable, break down
under the unnatural pressure. The
shock comes, and utter prostration is
the result. Reparation can only be ef-
tected by the restoration of the i'm
paired parts and the read djustment of
its levers,-the physical forces. There
is one part of the machine more liable
TO disorder than any other,-the liver,
the great balance-wheel of the ma
chine.
The liver being the great depurating
or blood-cleansing organ of the system,
set il at work and the foul corruptions
which gender in the blood, and rot out,
as it were, the machinery of life, are
gradually expelled from the system.
For this purpose DIR. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery, used daily, and DIR.
Pierce's Pleasant Purgative Pellets,
taken i'm very small doses are pre-emi-
nently the articles needed. They cure
every kind of humor from the worst
scrotula to the common pimplc, blotch,
or eruption. Great eating ulcers
kindly heal under their mighty cura-
tive influence. Virulent blood poisons
that lurk IN the system are by them
robbed of heir terrors, and by their
persevcring and somewhat protracted
use the most tainted systems may be
completely renovated and built up
anew. Enlarged glands, tumors and
swcllings dwindle away and disappear
under the influence of these great re-
solvents.

knew prominent New York lady
who gave great reception to new pas
tor from across the water, four or five
hundred people being present. Many of
the young men, Sabbath school teach
ers, etc, became so boisterous that the
hostess was greatly mortified, and
resolved never again to offer wine at
her public entertainments. A promi-
nent New York merchant. originally
an Englishman, never sat down TO
table without his wine and brandy.
and his three sons, in consequence, all
grew up drunkards. One became SO
abandoned that his father cast him out
of the house. AT last, some temper
ance people brought about his reforma-
ton, and he came to see his father Oh
New Years day. The old gentleman
said, "My son, I'm delighted to see You
again. I'm glad you've reformed"
Thoughtlessly he said, Lets drink TO
your better life, one glass of sherry"
The young man hesitated moment,
and then thought he would just drink
one glass. The old appetite revived,
and that night his father found him
dead:drunk in the stable.-rWilliam T..
