For Good Purposes.

Mrs. M. A. Dauphin, of PHILADELPHIA, is
well known to the ladies of that city from the
great good she has done by means of Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. She
writes Mrs. Pinkham of recent interesting
case. "a young married lady came to me
suffering with severe case of Prolapsus and
liberation. She commenced taking the
Compound and in two months was fully re-
stored. In proof of this she soon found her.

by foolish friends she attempted to evade the
responsibilities Of maturity After ten or
twelve days she came to me again and she
wasindeed in most alarming state and suf-
cred terribly. 1 gave her tablespoonful
of the compound every hour for eight hours
until she fell asleep She awoke much re-
lieved and evidently better She continued
taking the Comp und, and in due season she
became the mother of fine healthy bow.

"The reason is" said the smiling

A DARKENED HOME

The sad news of the death of Mrs. Flora
NJ. Jones, wife of II. NJ. Jones, of j. NJ
Allen & Co., startled many homes in this
city yesterday. She was quiet, unobtru-
sive christian woman faithful wife and
the devoted mother of one fair little girl
She had been ailing but tor few days, and
On Sunday seemed to be convalesing. But
no more in that home will the loving words
of that gentle mother be heard. In the
cleaning of the many many days to come,
the aching heart of the fair child thus bereft
will bemoan the sad fate that robbed her OF
the shelter Of the protecting arms now re-
posed forever, and the father, as he beholds
the sorrow of his child, will feel maybe, that
heaven has been unjust. But heaven would
be no heaven that did not hold our loved
ones Let him remember that while life
ever seems sad tragedy, that the brightes,
bow of promise is that which follows the
darkest storm, and, that she who has beer
his constant companion and loving coun-
selor in all these years, has stepped beyond
all life's clouds and storms, stepped into the
light of eternity's glory which can never
grow dim or be marred by death or sorrow
that this shred of life cannot be all of the
web God hath woven to encompass spirits
as divine as hers, but that beyond the reach
of sill inspired imagery, beyond and beyond
the blue deeps and all that they contain,
there is realm of perfection to which
this life and all its pleasures, and time and
space, and all the glories, are but dross and
imperfections and where He who made US
all. orders all. protects all and loves all.

p1sEmsoprEp SPIRITS.

The Hume spiritual exhibit at the opera
house Sunday night failed of satisfaction,
We should judge ftom many expressions
made yesterday. 1t was poor chat, proba-
bly,, with which to satisfy those who long for
some sensuous sign of q grander life beyond
this, if not trash unworthy any intelligent
audience seeking anything higher than the
amusement afforded by the tricks of the
juggler. We say possibly for we were not
present and had no desire to be. We had
so little faith in the man that the EAGLE re-
fused to publish specials forwarded in sd-
vance, and after he came he got his wonder
full interview at Emporia in our columns
only MS special and by putting up his
money in advance. We refused to do job
work on any other terms. They say the
opera house was filed with eight or ten
hundred people, nine out Of ten of whom
if not disappointed, will feel SO after think
ing the matter all over. We don't believe
the professor will try second exhibition
here, or that if he does but that be will have
slim house.

in procuring the wherewith to relieve these
needy ones. One of the inmates of the

AT THE CHURCHES.

At the Presbyterian church Sunday night
Rev. Hewitt spoke from the text, "Look
unto Me and be We saved" Look means
to turn, to repent. Some people imagine
that repentance means TO be sorry, but not
so: sorrow is result of repentance, not the
thing itself. Men look to everything else
before they look to Christ, to themselves,
the church, their good works, their NOR
slity, Gods mercy or any chimera that
presents itself, but these all fail. There is
but one way, "Loek unto Christ
Rev. Hodgson addressed large congrega-
ton in his usual eloquent manner from III
Corinthians, vi, i. The grace of God is free
for all and waiting to be received into the
heart. Take heed how you receive it that 1t
be not IN vain, but that the proper results
may be manifest.
Rev. Harper, at the Baptist church, de-
liyered sermon to his usually large audi
epce on the Unknown God" Paul found
the people at Athens very superstitious'
worshipping all kind of deities, and even
one which they characterized as unknown
Superstition still has its subjects In every
land Some people are superstitious IN re-
gard to the church and think that can save
them; others are superstitious IN regard 10
the minister and think him endowed with
some special power. They are reverencing
an unknown god which does not exist.
There is less superstition in the church than
elsewhere, for the Christian knows what he
believes and has reason for his faith, while
the infidel accepts any theory, no matter
how unreasonable.
"The Stesdfastness of the Word" was
the topic of Rev. Hendryx at the Christian
His first point was the dignity of the word,
which was clearly enforced. The word Is
always fulfilled, whether as spoken by angels,
as in the olden time, by Christ, who was the
living word and embodied II in his life, OF
bv the apostles. So, as christians are living
epistles, their lives should harmonic with
the werd. The word is steadfast in all its
teachings, transgressions are punished, and
fsithfulness is as surely rewarded.
Rev Parker spoke in his usual practical
manner, on "Daniel-the boy Daniel and
the man Daniel" a. the Plymouth Congre-
gational church. The hey is father to
the man. As the boy is trained and his
heart inclined, so will his life be in mature
years. The boy was true to his convictions
of right and was not TO be swerved from the
path of duty. The man was noble, wise
honored, and benefactor Of
his age, the one the direct
result of the other. \ practical lesson &c
young christians.
At the L. B. church Rey. Jones spoke OF
toe church As likened to the dawn, in the
patriarchial days, the light of the moon
under the Mosaic dispensation, and now as
shining with the radiance of the sun and
Frightening the whole world.
The Y. NJ. c. 4. room was flled with
young men who took lively interest in the
meeting Sunday afternoon. This meeting i:
steadily increasing in influence and becom'
ing matter of pride TO the young men.
The topic. "Come unto me-" was generally
discussed. a large number taking part. Sing
ing is one of the principal features, and al

Gen. Campbell went west yesterday. He is

is a sweeter singer than McGransban or

fullest notes, purest tones and most correct
of measures. He bracee back, opens his

sounds that simply delight.
