DULWER LYTTON'S BRIDGE.

d
Where il Touches the Shores and The Great Columns in
Midstream.
What beautiful bridge between old age aud
childhood is religion. How intuitively the child
begins with prayer and worship on entering life,
aud how ntuitivcy. on quitting life, the old man
turns back to prayer and worship, putting him
self again side by side with the infant" remarks
Sir F. Bnlwer Ly ton, in his Strange Story"
Yes but between its distant abutments the
bridge Of life has many high and awful arches,
through which the wild waters dash and roar in
wrath and desolation. Prayer and worship alone
do not sustain these. Natures solid rocks must
lie mistaken beneath, and human art and skill
must rear and soidify the structure overhead
Gods will is best exemplitied in the laws he has
made for the creatures whom he has placed under
their control Neither the chids trustful "Our
Father nor the old mans Forget me not in the
midst Of mine infrmities" will alter this by the
weight of a single grain
Science aud art first-Then faith and prayer
is the order of Heaven itself. Divinity heals
through its agents, and those agents are the dis
coveries of man not the vague announcements
of prophets or scers Is life burden to you
Does time drag? l. your power to cope with life's
problem and duties weakened? You are not well.
Your blood is sluggish and tainted, perhaps. or
some important organ is torpid overworked.
This fact may have taken the form of dyspepsia,
rheumatism govt malaria, pains in tho stomach,
chronic hradache, any Of dozen other ills.
PARKER's Tonic will iuvigorate you, as fresh air
invigoratcs those who have been shut up in damp,
fetid cells. 1t is powerful pure, delicious. scien-
tiic, snfcthc keystone Of the central arch Of the
bridge of life.

ton the proposition of the Manassas people.

Fire Wardens to have new ropes attached
to the alarm bell of the company and fur
pish keys to the policemen that the bell may
