Saved From the Poorhouse.

For years David Allingsworth suffered with
rheumatism, and notwithstanding the best
medical attendance, could not find relief He
came to the Sciota County Poorhouse, and had
to be carried into and out of bed on account
Of his helpless condition. After the failure of
all the remedies which had been applied, the
Directors of the Poorhouse resolved to use the
celebrated German Remedy. ST. JACOBS OIL,
and this was a fortunate resolution for, with
the trial of one bottle, the patient was already
much better and when four bottles had been
used upon him, he could again walk about
without the use of cane.
The facts as above stated, will be verified by

"Old Reliable"

There are many reputed remedies for that
very prevalent disease, Chronic Nasal Catarrh
but none which have given general satisfaction
and become acknowledged standard prepara-
tions, except Dr. Sage's Catarrh Remedy. Itcon-
tnues to enjoy an unprecedented popularity.
This reputation has been earned through the
permanent cures which it has wrought having
proved itself a specific in the worst forms OF
the disease. In fact so reliable is it that Its
former proprietor offered through all the
newspapers of the land reward of $500 for a
case of Catarrh that it would not cure. Sold

The Family Purse.

The money question between husband
and wife is one of the most serious draw
backs to married happiness, and it is
time it was adjusted on more Just and
equal basis. The life Of utter depend
ence which some women lead is crushing
and degrading. Men do not realize the
utter helplessness and vacuity to which
the system condemns woman. Now,
does anybody believe that it is necessary
for the welfare of the family that she
should go to him for Is cents every time
she needs it for car-fare or spool of
thread? Is it right or just to take her
mbeciity in money matters for granted
before she has been tested? Is it not
just such women, who are left by the
failure of some speculative craze to their
own resources, with the burden of a
family upon their inexperienced shout
ders, who often display wonderful
powers Of energy and calculation, in
addition to thrift and persevering in
dustry, which ought to put all such men
to shame? $500

Travelling on His Looks.

They were in railroad car journey

sat man Of commanding figure and
brow, and thoughtful expression.

Maybe he is a lawyer"
There's too much benevolence in his
face for a lawyer" ..
"He may be a banker"

heavenly expression couldn't content
himself with money getting. His aim

take your word and his for it.
At the next station an inquisitive
farmer took a seat beside the stranger
with the noble brow, and asked him
about his vocatiod. Amelia held her
breath and listened to the reply. It was
this: "
CT keep saloon and meat shop.
My wife sells beer and I do my own

the best books and became quite
an elocutionist. Mary learned the prin.
ciples Of music, and, under the kind and
careful teaching of Helen, she could play
several pieces in a very creditable man
ner, was conversant with few good
books, and had acquired little knowl-
edge OF all kinds Of reform literature.

year had rolled by and everything was
working together for good. Ned had
committed and paraphrased several of
the psalms, by which he had secured
his fathers attention, if not his heart
felt but unexpressed praise. I'D
The journey had been made, the feast
was spread, the victors were waiting to
be crowned. Nor had they long to wait :
the hour in its fullness was at hand. and
never was a home filed with truer,
deeper joy than the Maynard home,
that beautiful day, when the Illusions,
CAROLS, Woodrufs, and host Of neigh
bors and friends met to banquet and
rejoice in the reunion and reconcilia-
ton of father and daughter, uncle and
nephew. So
The seed has been sown broadcast.
and year after year the golden harvest
ripened. Silent struggle and suffering
broke down the cold, hard crust from
the life of Mr.. Woodruff. The spirit of
Christ's tender words, Except We be-
come as little children, ye shall not en-
ter the kingdom of heaven" fell for the
first time into his heart like q balm. A
new life opened within him new earth
stretched itself before him, and new
heaven bent above him.
The wilderness of the Woodruff place
blossomed as rose, and celebrated as
artist, author and elocutionist became
the names of Helen, Mary, and Ned.

A Fable.

A pack OF hyenas having been much
annoyed at the manner in which the
leopards had carried off the sheep which
they had intended to feed upon, were
rejoiced to see one of their enemies
alone. "Now," said they, "we can re-
venge ourselves, and strike terror into
the rest of his family. We have moth
ing to do but to surround him, and he
will fall an easy prey to our fury" cit
will be a grand thing to drag home q
dead leopard" said q young hyena. "I
will have his head" said another. sAnd
I his TAIL" "And his teeth "And
[ his claws" s'And his body will make
a fine feast for U.s." said all the hyenas ::
and they laughed in chorus. They drew
closer and closer round the leopard, who.
seeing himself so greatly outnumbered,
felt that flight would be better than
fighting, and. perceiving sturdy tree
not far off, he made sudden bound,
and, upsetting several Of his assailants,
gained one Of the lower branches, where
he kept the enemy at bay. SO matters
stood, when suddenly the leopard began
to growl furiously, and the growl was
answered by prolonged growl in the
distance. Again and again the leopard
growled, and each time the growl was
heard from afar. The leopards are
coming" said an old hyena, 'swe had
better be off. :" Then panic seized upon
the pack, and away they fled, leaving
the leopard on his post of advantage.
lie waited few moments after the last
of his opponents had disappeared, and
then quietly descended. "Ah," said
he, cit is not always those who talk
the loudest who win the victory. A
wise head will outgeneral an army of
boosters and it was lucky remem-
bered that there was an echo about here,
or 1 should not have been left master of
the field"

Testimony of a Great Historian.

The great Swiss historian, John Won
Muller, gives the result of his lifelong
labors, extracted, he says, from 1,733
authors, 1000 folio pages, in this strik-
ing confession: "Christ is the key to
the history of the world. Not only does
all harmonic with the mission of Christ,
all is subordinated to it." "When
saw this" he adds, "it was to me as
wonderful and surprising as the light
which Paul saw on his way to Damascus,
the fulfllment Of all hopes, the compile
ton of philosophy, the key to all the
apparent contradictions in the physical
and moral here is life and immortality.
I marvel not at miracles q far greater
miracle has been reserved for our times,
the spectacle of the connection of all
human events in the establishment and
preservation of the doctrine OF Christ.

Andrew Jackson and His Old Home.

AuuTeW JACKSON anu HIS UlO Home.
Though Duke grew feeble and almost
helpless in his latter day, he was not
forgotten or suffered to be neglected. I
have, in walk with the General, more
than once gone to the lot which con-
tanned this living wreck of martial valor,
and while the old creature would reel
and stagger, looking wistfully at his
master, the General would sighingly
say: "Ah, poor fellow, we have seen
hard times together; we must shortly
separate; your days Of suffering and toll
are wel-nigh ended"
On one occasion, to try the General
on tender point, the writer Of this ar
ticle suggested the idea of putting an
end to the sufferings Of Duke by hav-
ing him shot or knocked on the head.
ssNo," said his generous master, "never,
never; let him live, and while there is
anything to go upon on this farm Duke
shall have part. Rev. b. N. C1yer's

cause them to burst. Those calculations,
which were approximate only, showed
that the limit Of speed was in the neigh

Mark had ever found real home. His
boyhood had been homeless III all
save the name he. was left an
orphan at the age Of 3 years r.
and was adopted by his uncle, well-to.
do farmer, who had no other thought
than to bring Mark up first-class farm
hand, but the fates had determined 9th
erwise. His uncle had allowed him
three months a year in school, but Mark
resolved to have more time for study
than three months yearly afforded him.
Long and YEARLY he tried to get rainy
days and odd times for his own, but his
Uncle Huston was model farmer, and
there was always hoe to scour, or some
repairs to make that could be done un-
der shelter, SO the time went by till, one
bright May morning, there was vacant
chair at the Huston table, The family
had not been awakened as usual by the
OLD bell that Mark had rung so early
and so promptly for so many years, and
long after the sun had peeped into his
empty room did Mr.. Huston enter it in
rage, with rebuke and a lecture on
early rising he was swelling to deliver
to the offending Mark. "Why, Mark /!

from bare table and reading the fol-
lowing explanatory note:
