! There's a chance for everybody in the whole

Win glad and glorious victory over fate.
There's chance for everybody in the whole

To prove benediction, and to lessen an af-

A chance to reach the goal and take the prize,
If we watch the tide that's going in its ebblng

There's a chance for every body in the whole
To redeem the past and build in better shape;
But still to shining bauble we keep clinging,
there's the trouble,
And let golden opportunities escape.
There's chance for everybody in the whole

To make safe and prosperous advance,
But the prospect is SO hazy to the timorous and

They sit and mourn that they never had

There's chance for everybody in the whole

To fill the soul with never ending bliss,
Or perform an act of kindness, but alas, IN our

There are many, many chances that we miss.

A chance that cometh soon or cometh late,
When the morning sun is shining, or perchance

why the World Progresses.

1t was q favorite theory with
Buckle that the worlds progress is not
| made by the eminent goodness of men
or the distinguished meanness of men.
In other words, he believed thai good
ness did not create civilization, but
that the "forces of civilization" caused
goodness and all of the worlds pro-
gress. He never become weary in
celebrating this opinion. 1t is the
rock on which he sets out to build
his History of Civilization All
through that mighty fragment" in
every chapter Of that great unfinished
book we meet the idea. But nowhere
is it more forcibly and eloquently
stated than when he wrote: "The
gigantic crimes of Alexander or Ma
poleon became, after time, vcid of ef-
feet, and the affairs of the world return
ed to their former level. This is the ebb
and flow of history, the perpetual fiux
to which by the laws of our nature we
are subject. Above all this there is
far higher movement and as the tide
rolls on, now advancing, now receed-
ing, there is, amid its endless huctua-
tions, one thing, and one alone, which
endurcs forever. The actions of bad
men produce only temporary evil, the
actions of good men only temporary
good and eventually the good and
the evil altogether subside, are natural
lied by subsequent generations, alb
sorbed by the incessant movement of
future ages. But the discoveries of
great men never leave US; they are
immortal they contain those eternal
truths which survive the shock of em-
pires, outlive the struggle of rival
creeds, and witness the day of sue
cessive religions. All these have
their different measures and their
different standards; one set of
opinions for one age, another set
for another. They pass away like
q dream they are as the fabric of a
vision, which leaves not reck behind
The discoveries of genius alone re-
mains; it is to them we owe all
we now have; they are for all ages
and for all times; never young, and
never old, they bear the seed of their
own life; they flow on in perennial
and undying stream; they are essen
TALLY cumulative, and giving birth to
the additions which they subsequent
ly receive, they thus influence the
most distant posterity, and after the
lapse of centuries produce more effect
than they were able to do even at the
moment of their promulgation."

ALZEG HENY MIRACLE.
A Strange Case of Faith Cure

From Allegheny Mail, Aug. 81
Charles Dysert who resides at l35

statements which appeared iu morn.
/ ing paper to-day regarding the heal.
/ ing of his wife 1t was charged by
the attending physicians, Drs. John
and Thos. Mabon, that the sudden
cure was due to excitement OF the in

Mr.. Dysert asserts that there was no
excitement attending the cure and
that his wife has continued to i'm
prove every day since, being now
able to walk around the house and GO
to her meals Before last Saturday
she was unable to leave her bed for
seven months.
The lady who is twenty eight
years of age, told her own story to a
reporter in the following language
"Some seven months ago | was of
licted with complication of dis
eases and lost the power of my limbs.

but they could do nothing to relieve

any other physicians could have done.

ing my strength, but concluded to put
my case in the, hands of God. | had
frequently heard of the miraculous
cures effected by Elder S. F. Young,
of Harmony, a member of the church
of God, and my husband sent for him.
He came last Saturday and ascertain
ing my faith he prayed with me and
anointed me- He kept this up for
twenty minutes and after the expira-
tion of that time he took hold Of NV

this time | felt my strength returning
and making an effort found myself on
my feet walking towards chair in the

me by the hand at the time, but soon
afterward got up aud walked to the
dining room alone. Since then | have
had an appetite and find myself grow
ing stronger every day. My cure
was effected through my faith in God
and the influence of Elder Young"
The husband testified to this wife's
long illness and miraculous cure, and
knew nothing of the cure until several
hours after it occurred IL had sent
for Elder Young at my wife's request,
but was absent when he effected the
cure, that evening when | came home
to my great surprise | found my wife
in the kitchen. You might imagine
my feelings. Since then she has been

Mrs Priscilla Hare, the laudladv,
who was present when Mrs. Dysert
arose from her bed said, 81 was never so
much astonished in my life as when l
saw her get right up out of bed and
walk to the dining room. She had
been so weak that she was scarcely
able to sit upright. 1t is certainly a
remarkable case"

How n Quaker Defended HIM
self

| "A new DtluDu Vi utdlIUp WIFI Sclt
! naders was lately invented by Mr.. Fox
of Stillbrook, Iowa, which reflects the
highest credit upon the gentleman's in.
genuity, and which promises to be a
precedent of inestimable value Mr.
Fox, when nearly sixty-four years old,
married for the first time about week
ago. He has resided in Stillbrook
for many years, and b reputation as a
man of shrewdness and integrity has
never been sullied. Nevertheless, Mr..
Fox has never been regarded as q lib
eral man. He does not approve of the
use of ardent spirits as beverage, and
he does not smoke Hence he has
never been known to invite his fellow
citizens to drink or to take cigar, and
has thus won a reputation for miserly
habits which not even the fact thai he
gives literally to all charities and
never turns beggar away hungry
| from his door, cannot alter. Finally,
Mr.. Fox is Quaker, and firm be-
lever in the doctrine of non-resistance.
When such man ventured to take o
wife, the propriety of giving him sere-
made was instantly perceived by the
young men of Stillbrook The old
man won't stand nothing remarked
the leader of the young men, because
he's too mean, and he can't fight be-
cause he's o Quaker. Boys, we'll just
go down and serenade him all night
| and see how he likes it
| Now, Mr.. Fox, although non-re-
sistant, had quietly made up his mind
that he would not suffer from any pro-
longed serenade. He was addicted to
the cultivation of bees, and he had on
his premises twelve large beehives,
each one of which contained a thousand
or so of the largest and fercest variety
of bee On the evening of the expect
ed serenade Mr.. Fox conveyed the
twelve beehives to the roof of his front
piazza, and placed them very near the
edge thereof He then provided him.
self with pole long enough to reach
from his front bedroom window to the
beehiyes, and with sweet and placid
expression of countenance sat down to
await the serenaders
IN uue liule IHey dTTlNeu III ioiCC'
There were at least fifty of them, and,
grouping themselves in the front yard
close to the house, they begrn their
uprOar. Mr.. Fox listened silently for
ten or fifteen minutes, and then appear
ed at the window, and, with gesture,
induced the musicians to pause. He
told them that they must leave his
premises, and that if they refused they
would probably be sorry. With scorn-
full laughter the young men declined to
depart, and, drowning Mr.. Fox's voice
with ironical cheers, they resumed. 1t
was then that Mr. Fox deftly upset his
twelve beehives with the aid of his
pole, and, closing his window, proceed
ed to go peacefully to bed, undismay-
ed by the yells which suddenly arose
from his serenaders, and without seek
ing to know why they fled headlong
from his front yard.
There wasn't one of them bees that
would let up on man under three
mile remarked Mr.. Fox next day.
