Eyerybody's Air Brake,

eyes, sab, ;" said Uncle Zach, Use watched
1t forty years an its as l SEE: De fust OF
May an Christmas day OF de same year
alters comes on de same week day."
Further conversation proved Uncle Zach
a most incredulous person. CHANGING to
mention DR.. Carver's feat OF breaking glass
balls with a rifle, he said;
81 heerd bout dat shootin' ana Knowed
right off it wasn't squar'; dat was Yankee
trick, boss, sho's you born"
'What was the trick?"
"Dar wuz loadstOne put into de glass
balls, an likewise onto de bullets SO when
de bullet fly outen de gun, it an de ball ies
1rawed togedder, which, in course, brokes
lie glass-dats de trick!''
Later, Uncle Zach observed q roperunning
along the side OF the car.
"Boss, what's dat line fur?"
"To apply the air-brake in case OF acci-
dent" Then we had further to explain how
the force OF the brake was obtained, to
which Uncle Zach responded:
"Look here boss, you sholy don't spect
me to b'leeve dat foolishness? Why, de
biggest harricane whatever blowed couldn't
stop dis train, runnin forty mile hour.
An YOU think l gwine to b'leeve a little
pipe full OF wind under de kyars can do it?
No, sah-reel"
There are a great many Uncle Zachs who
Judge everything simply by appearances.
The air-brake does not seem to be very
powerful thing, but power and efficiency are
not necessarily equivalent to bigness and
pretense.
Phillip Beers, Esq, VINO resides at the
United States Hotel, New York City, and is
engaged in raising subscriptions for the New
York World Bartholdi Pedestal Fund, was
once upbraided by distinguished relative
who was a physician, for commencing i'll
such enthusiastic terms a remedy that
cured him of bright's disease eight years
ago. He said "Sir, has the medical pro
fession, with all its power and experience OF
thousands OF years, anything that can cure
this terrible disorder" No, no, that is
true; there is no mistake about it but that
Warmers sale cure is really wonderfully
effective preparation. That remedy is an
"air-brake" that every man can apply, and
this fact explains whyit has saved SO many
hundreds of thousands OF ives.-Copy-

IT Should BE Generally Known

that the multitude OF diseases Of a scroiu.
lous nature generally proceed from torpid
condition OF the liver. The blood becomes
impure because the liver does not act prop
erly and work off the poison from the sys-
tenn, and the certain results are blotches,
pimples, eruptions, swellings, tumors, ulcers
and kindred affections, or settling upon the
lungs and poisoning their delicate tissues,
until liberation, breaking down and con.
symptoms established. DR.. Pierces "Gold.
en- Medical Discovery" will, by acting upon
the liver and purifying the blood, cure all
these diseases.

For Parents.

The following words were part OF an
address at recent meeting of parents
in a Sunday-school in England by
Proverb Will. They have the real prov
erb ring, pithy and wise. What is
laid up in the memory will bring out
its own fruit in the life "Let us take
care of our children. They are poor
mems riches. Begin early to train
them in the right way. Soft twigs
bend best Early sow, soon reap, 1t
is easier to prevent ill habits than to
break them. You can not catch yester-
day. Duty is best done at once. 10
day never comes back. Childhood for
school, youth for skill, manhood for
work, age for rest, eternity for Heaven.
All things have their course. Trees
bear their own fruit. A bad home, a
ruined child. A childs curse brings a
bitter end. Nothing comes out of sack
but what you put in it. Whatsoever a
man soweth that shall he also reap"

RELIGIOUS READING.
THE UNSEEN LIFE

There is a life by man unseen,
A life the soul and God between, ,s
Nor mortal eye may mark the strlle'
or nuiet of that hidden life.
Our feeble vision can but scan
Tha outward merits of the man;
Ind virtue to our sight be plaln,
When God beholds crimson sIaih'
A brotber's sin will ofttimes rise
10 mountain height before our eyes,
while He who knoweth each intent
Mav write that brother innocent
Tbare is a life to man unknown,
Retween the soul and COD alone,
Nor human line may sound the deep
Where human pride and passions sleeP'
Rut to the great Omniscient eye,
1n1r inner lives uncovered lie;
No inner thought of thine or mlne
Can hide beyond Gods sounding-hne'
Our hearts should hold how lightly then
The praise and prejudice OF men!
Esteeming rather to be right
And hlameless in Jehovah s1ght.
Obi NAV we strive from day to day
no shane each purpose to His way,
VIZ Enoweth all the Christians strife,
And seeth all his hidden life

Far Reaching.

No mans life is wholly confined with
in the limits of his own living. Some
times this familiar truth strikes one
with all the freshness of surprise The
Sunday-school teacher hears that SEN
tence once spoken to a needless boy has
blossomed into that boys life, and is
now bearing a great harvest in distant
city. The writer pens paragraph and
months later takes up an Indian or Aus
tralian paper to find that that para
graph has started a hot discussion in
which the truth has been carried fur
ther than he could otherwise have
hoped for. When such facts as these
come Unexpectedly to the Knowledge OF
the worker, he feels as if he himself had
been working unconsciously in that dis
tant city or in that far-olf land. And,
after all, there is a share of truth in the
thought. A part of his life has indeed
gone into that distant work, OF which
he now hears only incidentally; and
that life is diffusing itself into wider
channels of usefulness through many
another life. There is cheer here for
many an unknown laborer. You do not
know in what distant field your life is
working; you do not know how far the
light has been carried which was kin
died at your fame.-S. S. Times

God asks us to keep our thoughts
fixed on Him. He is great, and in pro-

of His spirit are we prepared for the
high duties to which He appoints us.

What God cares for riches is best
seen in the fact that some of the vilest
men can obtain them. The only things
of intrinsic worth are the things no bad
man can get, The most depraved man
can get wealth and honors and reputa-
ton and the like, but he lacks the
main thing, that which lasts where
eternity reigns,-Rev. D. Z. MearS,

is the Gospel in its old, familiar and
unchanged statements The preacher

Love and MarriaRe Q.

England, of September ~, 1885, contains
the following
"'Twas on q beautiful and glorious
day in August that a gentleman passed
through our park, casting admiring
clances on the plants and shrubs, aud
on the smooth shaven turf, which
served as q welcome playground TO
some scores OF little children, whose
merry laughter wed with the songs OF
the birds in the tall and leafy trees.
Almost stranger WAS this gentleman,
q visitor TO the land of his birth from
his adopted home in the far west, and
he noted with appreciation the many
changes and improvements OF which
the Pleasure Ground is a good ex-
ample. With measured steps he pas
sed through the chief walk and made
for The POlebarn Lane entrance, where,
from the adjoining stoneya yard, came the
IN MUSICAL ring of the hammer as the
brawny breaker leisurely chipped the
huge masses of stone into conveniently
sized cubes.
The gentleman stopped to watch the
process, he meditatively contemplated
the hammer as with unerring precision
| it swung te and fro, and as the stone
breaker continued his monotonous task
he said, expressing his thoughts aloud,
/" [ should think it would lie better il
you had q heavier hammer. d ust
what was thinking" came the apt
remark, and turning his head our visi-
