ACROSS THE WORLD.
"Haroun OF Akppc," said Sir Philip Derval,
chad mastered evsvy secret in nature which
the nobler magic seeks to fathom. He discov-
cred that the true art OF healing is to assist
Nature 10 throw off the disease-to summon,
az it were, the whole system TO eject the enc
my that has fastened on part. His processes
all included the reinugoration OF the principle
OF life"
In this the Eastern sage merely anticipated
the practice OF the best physicians OF to-day.
What life itself Is, nobody knew tben-nobody
knows DOW. But we have learned something
OF the reasons why The mysterious tide rises
aud falls. Provided the great organs OF the
body are not irreparaby destroyed. medical
science can always relieve, and often save. Yet
no reputable physician now adheres to the bar
barous and stupid processes of depletion, such
rs bleeding, by which it was attempted to cure
disease by reducing the patients ability to re-
sist it, Nowadays we do not tear down the
fort to help the garrison-we strengthen It,.
In this intelligent and beneficent work, it is
conceded that PARKER's Tonic leads all other
medicines. AS an invigorant ii acts immedi-
ately and powerfully upon the circulation and
the organs OF digestion, thus giving Nature the
assistance she calls for. 1t follows that all all
ments OF the stomach. kidneys and liver are at
once relieved or cured. No other preparation
embodies the same qualities or produces SINH
lar results. 1t is DELICIOUS to use, and the best

A few days ago q gentleman from the ru-
raj districts called on one of our handsome
widows and proposed marriage. He told
her he was alone in this wide, wide world,
that he was possessed of broad acres, with
pastures green, and if she was only his, she
would live a life of ease; servants would be
at her command, and mot a wave of trouble
roll across her peaceful breast" "You
have created n terrible humping in my left
breast" replied the widow "and the question
il such an important one, that / shall be
obliged TO take at least four days TO decide,
at which time l shall be happy to meet you
here and give you decided answer"
"Thank you" says the gentleman, and as he
passed out threw a kiss to her, saying he
would be on hand at the appointed time.
The widow sank back in her chair and
calculated, 1.-THE Lord be praised"

Ceremony Without Acts.
A SERMON BY MIR. TALMAGE IN BROOKLYN
ON DOING MEANINGLESS THINGS.

The Rev. DIR. Talmage, in his sermon
Sunday, September 2Sth, after describing
the scene where Jesus was given over to the
Sadducees by Pontius Plate and the cere-
mony of the washing of hands, said
Ceremonies amount to nothing if there is
not correspondence of heart and life. Pi-
late's wash-basin was dead failure. We
may bow with prayer, we may sing, with
out reverence. All ceremonies amount to
nothing unless your life corresponds to
them. l have nothing against creeds; all
have them. [ have nothing against cere-
monies; they are of infinite Importance;
nothing against sacraments, they are COM
manded; nothing against rosaries, if there
be a heartfelt prayer for every bead count
ed, and have nothing against any of these
symbols if behind them there be genuine
repentance. But the ceremony is only the
shell to the kernel. Wash the hands, but,
more than that, wash the heart.
Behold also the power of conscience.
PLATE had the idea that blood was on his
hands. Poor plate! He knew the stain
would never wash out, and, until the day
of his death there would be eight fingers
and two thumbs red to the tips. Are there
ghosts? Yes; the spectres of a guilty con-
science. What ais that man sitting in this
congregation listening while beads of per-
spiration stand upon his forehead, his face
pale and haggard, starting as if from some
impending doom? He knows. God knows.
Maybe he has despoiled some bright young
innocence. Or it may be he has in his pos
session the property Of others. He knows
if his heart stopped beating this moment
he would be hell forever; or it may be he
is responsible for the disappearance of some
one. The detectives have been baffled,
and there are only two persons in the uni
verse that know of it, God and himself.
Conscience with stings, conscience with
fails, will torment him till he repents =

OUR DARLING.
Bouncing like a foot ball,

Bouncing like foot ball,
Kicking at the door,
Failing from the table top,
SPRAYING on the floor;
Smashing cups and saucers,
Sitting dolly's head;
Putting little pussy cat
Into baby's bed.
Building ships and houses,
Spelling fathers hat;
Hiding mothers precious keys
Underneath the mat;
Jumping on the fender,
Poking at the.fire;
Dancing on those little legs
Legs that never tire;
Making mothers heart leap
Fifty times day;
Aping everything we do,
Everything we say.
Shouting, laughing, tumbling,
Roaring with will;
Anywhere and everywhere,
Never, never still.
Present-bripging sunshine;
Absent-leaving night;
That's our precious darling,
That's our hearts delight.

Washed-Out Hair.

There is a sort of pallid, chalky com
plexion which the novelists call 'washed
out complexion" 1t is CHASTITY enough,
and no mistake. Washed-out, faded, dis
colored, or parti-colored hair is almost as
repulsive and melancholy. Parker's Hair
Balsam will restore your hair to it's
original color, whatever it was; brown, au-
burn, or black. Why wear moss on your
head, when you may easily have lively,

Mr.. Blaine's letter to William Walter
Phelps is not in some respects entirely sat-
isfactory. He fails to state why there was
any reason for private marriage in June,
1850, and he also fails to state why after
the public marriage in March, 1851, the
previous secret marriage was never made
public as should have been done by a man
tender of his own and his wife's reputa.
ton; especially in view of the fact that his
eldest child was born in June, 1851.
1t is also to the last degree unlucky that
the witnesses of the first secret marriage
are all dead and that there is no public OF
written record of the fact anywhere to be
found.
But the most unfortunate feature connec
ted with the whole affair is the reference
by Mr.. Blaine to the Kentucky marriage
laws. In his letter to Phelps he says that
after his secret marriage he discovered that
a marriage without a license was void under
the Kentucky law and therefore very prop
erly and with a proper sense of what was
due his wife and himself had the ceremony
performed again, complying with all the
legal requisites.
1t might naturally be supposed that AT
intelligent man would be careful in taking
SO important a step to ascertain and com
ply with all legal requirements. According
to Mr.. Blaine's statement he failed to dc
so.
But the most painful fact of all and one
which we would willingly keep from the
public, if possible, had it not been made
an issue by Mr.. Blaine, is this: The law
which Mr.. Blaine refers to as determining
him to perform second ceremony of mar
riage was not passed until July, 1862, near
ly q gear and a half afterwards.
By the laws of Kentucky expounded in
the decisions of its highest courts (see
Marshall 372, Bush 64) Mr.. Blaine's mar
riage, if made in 1850, was perfectly valid
These facts have been communicated to
the Boston Herald by Mr.. John A. Ben
nett, a we'll known lawyer of that city, and
he adds: 'NIay not the legal counsel he
fancies he sought in 1850 have been first
sought in 1884 from too careless exami-
nation of The statutes"
We are very sorry for Mr.. Blaine, but
evil deeds have their Nemesis WiRches-
ter Times.

Blaine has often been a deadhead on the

In 1876, Mr. Blaine testified before the

whose word is not to be believed. The
