How to Clean Soapsuds: House
keepers who are limited in their supply
of good washing water can make it do
double duty by dissolving alum in hot
water, and throw it into the tub of
soapsuds. In moment the soap will
curdle, and, accompanied by muddy
particles, will sink to the bottom, leav-
ing the water perfectly clear and devoid
of the smell of soap This water can
be used for washing a second time if
poured off the sediment. Where water
is scarce, this fact is invaluable.

DR.. JOHN BULLS
Smiths Tonic Syrup
FOR THE CURE OF t.
fever and ACUE
Or CHILLS and FEVER.

The proprietor Of this celebrated medicine
justly claims for it a superiority over all rem
edies ever offered to the public for the SAFE,
CERTAIN, SPEEDY and PERMANENT cure
ofAgue and Fever, or Chills and Fever. wheth-
er Of short or long standing. He refers to the
entire Western and Southern country to bear
him testimony to the truth Of the assertion
that in no case whatever will it failto cure If
the directions are strictly followed and carried
out. In great mary cases asingle dose has
been sufficient for cure, and whole families
have been cured by single bottle, with per-
feet restoration Of the general health. 1t is,
however, prudent, and in every case more GER
tain to cure, If its use is continued in smaller
doses for q week or two after the disease has
been checked, more especially in difficult and
long-standing cases. Usually this medicine
will not require any aid to keep the bowels in
good order. Should the patient, however, re-
quire cathartic medicine, after having taken
three or four doses Of the Tonic, single dose Of
BULLS VEGETABLE FAMILY PILLS will
be sufficient.

Taking Root.

In explaining the parable of the sower
Jesus speaks of some "who, when they hear
the word Immediately receive it with glad
ness, but have no root in themselves, and are
only for a time" How truly these words
describe the condition of many who have at
tempted to follow the Lord in these days !
The Christian life appears to such in the
falsest possible light they think that Chris
tianity is something to play with-a toy for
an idle hour-and this delusion is often.
times so lasting that they allow their names
to remain on the church-book till they die
without the faintest suspicion, apparently,
that they ought not TO have done so. The
pursuers of this delusion have never EN-
braced Christ An expression which has
far more meaning than many understand /;
they have never rested their all on him, with
full sense of the truth that, having done
this they must watch and fight and pray in
cessantly, or go back TO the enemy. Some
of them have had root in other men rather
than in themselves; in friends and associ
ates whom they have learned, perchance, to
love so well that they can see no fault in
them trusting them, and trusting God but
weakly, in manner to be easily overthrow,
they fail to gain that firm foundation which
is necessary to spiritual growth. They are,
as Christ said, "only for time" Ere many
weeks after conversions" they are seen at
the public dance, or at the gambling fair,
or in other ways in sympathetic intercourse
with old comrades of the world. Everybody
can see that they have "no root" The first
business of him who processes to have
turned from the old ways to the new, should
be that which it is the business of the tree
or slip that is started in new soil he should
strive to take root take root in himself, not
in another then he will grow otherwise he
will be "only for time" and that " time
will reflect greater 'dishonor, not upon the
garden he professed to be growing in, but
upon himself Chicago Standard.

A Good Witness.

A correspondent of the Evangelist, writing
about the question of one or two sermons
day, says :" have been pastor for more
than thirty years, and two things are my ex-
perience: First. | can preach far better in
the evening than in the morning less schol-
astic, it may be, but more fervently, earn
estly, practically, satisfactorily. Second, Far
more persons come to personal decision
upon religion Saying, | will arise God be
mercful to me sinner } after an evening
sermon than the former. | have found it
well at times to preach doctrinal discourse
in the former part of the day, and then an
attendant practical one e. g., A. NJ, GLORY
of God,' what is it p. NJ, Glorify God with
your body and spirit A. NJ, Divinity of
Christ p. NJ, the duties and comforts flow
ing therefrom, etc. 1t is well TO keep the
mind of the audience, as far as possible,
upon one subject the day through. This
usage of one service, and the sermon but
half-hour long, is fatal to doctrinal preach
ing, and is just the thing that too many per-
sons want, and this broad church latitu-
dinarian age demands, hence the too indef-
mite, loose, undeciding views our youth are
entertaining respecting many of the most
important truths of Holy writ"

Send for Mother.

"Daar me it wasn't enough for me to
nurse and raise a family of my own, but now,
when am old and expect to have a little
comfort here, it's all the time, Send for
mother T." And the dear old soul growls
and grumbles, aud dresses herself as fast as
she can, notwithstanding. After you have
trotted her off, and got her safely in your
home, and she flies around administering rem
edes and rebukes by turns, you feel easier.
It's all right now, or soon will be-mother's
come In sickness, no matter who is there,
or how many doctors quarrel over your case,
everything goes wrong somehow till you send
for mother. In trouble, the first thing you
think of is to send for mother. But this has
its ludicrous as well as its touching aspect.
The verdant young couple, to whom baby's
extraordinary grimaces and alarming yawns,
which threaten the dislocation of its chin
its wonderful sleeps, which it accomplishes
with its eyes half-open, and no perceptible
futter of breath on its lips, causing the young
mother TO imagine it is dead this time, and
to shrek out, " Send for mother" in tones
of anguish-this young couple in the light
of the experience which three or four babies
bring, find that they have been ridiculous,
and giving mother a good many trots for
nothing. Did any one ever send for mother
and she failed to come Never, unless sick
ness and the infirmities of age prevented her.
As when in your childhood those willing
feet responded to your call, so they still do,
aud will continue to do as long as they are
able. And when the summons comes, which
none yet disregarded, though it will be a
happy day for her, it will be very sad one
tor you, when God, too, will send for mother |

" In the Fold"

I" am in the fold !" So said an interest
ing little girl of thirteen, in Christian con-
gregation recently, when asked whether she
had give her heart to Jesus. The reply,
" | am in the fold p was given with such
meekness, and such a smiling countenance,
that it touched all hearts that heard her.
The good Shepherd has fold for the lambs,
and green meadows where they may gambol
aud be nourished unto eternal life Some
Christian parents (alas, that it should be
so y are strangely skeptical about this fold,
ing of the lambs. And yet the tender voice
of the loving Shepherd has been heard all
along the ages, speaking to the ear of the
church, saying, " Feed my lambs r. Apos-
ties heard the injunction at the first, and,
acting Immediately under his high commits
sion, in the putting forth of their apostolic
energy swept whole households into the
kingdom. Joy and gladness and triumph
attended their word in many sacred home
enclosure. Beloved. the promise is unto
you and to your children" Make haste to
have the lambs folded. Leave them not to
wander on barren wastes until summer suns
have scorched them, and twenty winter
blasts have pierced their vitals. Every day
they remain unfolded is positive loss to
Jesus, and positive gain to the adversary

Touching Scene In a Street Car.

The Utica Tribune says "a lady en-
tered car on the Oakwood road one day
last week leading little girl perhaps four
years old. The mother sat down and lifted
the little one to the seat beside her. The
child was nibbling at piece of cake or su-
gar, and now and then turning her face, full
OF childish love, up to her mother aud NUT
tering some almost unintelligible words
OF affection. Opposite to mother and
child sat another younger lady, who often
smelled fresh rose which she held. The
innocent little one before her attracted her
attention, and the natural kindliness of the
sympathetic woman's heart prompted her to
offer at once the fragrant flower to the little
budding lily opposite. So she leaned a bit
forward and spoke; " Baby want the posy ?"
But the child seemed not to hear Perhaps
it was the noise of the moving car that pre-
vented. Then she spoke little louder, and
held the flower forward temptingly " Baby
may have the posy.' The mother heard,
for she looked toward the other lady and
smiled-and oh such look of heartfelt
gratitude, of motherly love, yet heavily sad.
dened with such an expressive tinge of sor-
row as is seldom seen. And still the lady
OF the rose pressed upon the little one ac-
ceptance Of the flower. "Baby, take the
rose" holding it almost to the child's hands.
And now it would seem she was heard, for
the blue eyes turned full upon her would be
patron and then in moment she strangely
drew back and turned her eyes appealngly
toward her mothers face. The lady with
the flower showed her bewiderment in her
look, while panied expression fitted across
the face of the mother, who leaned forward
and whispered just word "My darling is
blind !" Then the whole sunless, darkened
life of the fair little being-fair as the flower
which had been offered to her-came up be-
fore the mind. All beauty shut out from
her forever For her no foliage-strewn,
hower-studded scene to follow the bleakness
of winter. No looking with awe into the
mysterious depths of the night sky, spark
ling with glittering, twinkling star-gems, for
over those blue eyes the Creator, in the mys
terry of his designs, had hung the impen-
etrable veil. No expectant gaze towards
the mothers face for the gentest smile that
ever soothes childish trouble; only the
blind passage of the little hand over and
over those features, for one moment of
which the growing little one will often and
often willingly offer years of existence.
For her the birds will sing, but loveliness
OF form and feature are not For her, while
the babbling stream may make mysterious
music, It's dimped waves aud winding
reaches aud verdant banks do not exist.
How bitterly vivid all this as the lady opened
the little hand and shut within it the thorn
less stem OF the rose, now bearing tear on
It's petals Aud there were other swim
ming eyes in the car.
