GLAppEN's HOME.

Indeed there is something in Gladden's
head and face that suggests that of Garfield.
Both were devotionally inclined Glad
den studied theology and entered the Congre-
gational ministry. His first pastorate was
the State Street Congregational church,
Brooklyn. He also has had charge of
churches in Morrisania, N. Y, and in North
Adams, Mass, and in Springfield, Mass. At
length fate or fancy took him to Columbus,
o. There he is at present, pastor of the First
Congregational church, on Broad street. A
beautiful church it is, too, and his congrega-
ton is made up of the most cultivated people
in the city Let us hope that things will not
be too fine and easy with him, lest he forget
somewhat the struggling masses for whom
his tongue and pen have ever worked SO
bravely.
The wide awake preacher lives in the city
of Columbus in the plain, comfortable house
which appears herewith.
His largest fame is as a writer. He was
editor of The New York Independent for
four years. Since then he has contributed
essays to leading magazines and papers, and
published books.
Some of his best known writings have ap-
peared in The Century Magazine. After
being printed here, they have been collected
and published in book form. Among these
papers are the following: "Whnt Is the New
Theology" "Three Dangers;" christianity
and Popular Amusement;" "The Increase of
Divorce;" "The Christian League of Con-
necticut;" "Hurricane Reform;n "The Use
and Abuse of Parties;" "Family Religion" !"
"Protestantisn in Italy" The literary style
is strikingly clear and pleasing.

From the farm young GLADDEN. gravitated
to the newspaper office. When only IS years
old he was a reporter on The Oswego Gazette.
But it occurred to him here that young man
who had figure to cut in the world needed
more education than he had, as far as he had
got He began to prepare himself for college,
therefore, spending his spare time and money
for this purpose. If the young men and girls
who must turn out early to work for their
living knew how much they could learn just
by staying at home evenings and putting an
hour or two of spare time into intellectual
work, drawing, music, languages, mathe-
matics or science, there would be far more
successful people, and they would spring
from the ranks Of workingmen and women
as they ought to.
GLADDEN. continued his studies, and entered
Williams college, Mass. That was the college
where Garfield was graduated, working his
way through as GLADDEN. did. During his
college course GLADDEN. was newspaper cor
respondent, writing letters for The Spring
field Republican and one Of the editors Of The
Williams Quarterly.

Washington GLADDEN. is of New England
ancestry. His father was school teacher
in Massachusetts,, and very strict and puri-
tanical He removed to Potts county, Pa,
and there Washington was born in February,
1886 The boy had no advantages, as the
world would look at it; he had every ad-
vantage in the true, large way of looking at
things. He had health, strong, lively
brain, and spirit full of hope and ambition.
He had, too, the priceless endowment of that
sunny good humor which will carry its pos
SCISSOR over all the rough places in life as on
wings
Besides his poverty, he was very early left
fatherless. There seemed nobody to help
him. His mother removed to farm near
Oswcgo, N. Y, soon after his fathers death.
The boy did farm work in summer and went
to the public school in winter Many of the
best and greatest men of America took their
rise in just that way, as barefoot farm lads

A Fatal Sleep.

A leading physician of Philadelphia re-
Gently made the startling assertion that over
six thousand people, mostly children, die
yearly in this country from the effects of
cough mixtures containing morphia or
opium. OF course the public never hears of
the majority Of such cases, but occasionally
the story leaks out. The latest instance of
the Kind comes from Chicago, where little
child, after being given a dose Of some
cough mixture, sank into sleep and in spite
of all medical aid died, opiates are injurious
to any system, more especially to that of a
child, and such timely warning as the
above ought to be needed by all having at
heart the welfare of children. One of the
things that make Red Star Cough Cure such
boon to mothers is that it contains no
opates and can always be administered with
perfect safety.

THE MYSTERY OF LIFE.

ThinEa ENpInIncd.

What Il lifey This is a question which
has been asked by millions and successfully
answered by but few We know that il is
a wonderful force which we cannot see. but
| that the moment IL DEPARTS oil power il
] gone. Every instant some particle in the
body is being destroyed by action, oxertion
or thought, aud these particles are every
moment being renewed by new particles.
That constitutes life. and when this renow-
al ceases, it is death. But very slight
thing interferes with thisrenewal, aud hence
death becomes 80 easy aud life 10 difficult.
When there is tendency in any part OF
the body not TO renew the destroyed ele-
ments toning up aud strengthening simme.
diatey required A chilled finger should be
rubbed, aud by so doing new life is genera
ted When the stomach becomes weak
and digestion poor, aud the appetite gone,
il is necessary TO tone up the stomach. re-
store the digestion and thus bring back the
appetite. The most modern scientific re-
medy discovered for accomplishing this re-
suit, has been found in the wonderful Volt.
ma Cordial remedy which is urquestion-
ably doing more to avert sickness, renew
life ard restore health than any other prepar-
alton known TO modern science. 1t gives to
weakened faculties that which adds new life.
II puts the system in q condition where
il can vigorously maintain tho force Of life,
and hence il avoids the first symptoms Of
death, which are disease.
Many mothers wonder why il is they are
less strong than formerly; why it is so much
more difficult to perform their duties then il
was year ago. The answer is TO be fouud
in the fact that their bodies are less vigorous,
and hence, do not renew the dead particles
which are being consumed every moment,
throughout the body. We know of humid
reds of men who were once strong, hearty
and in perfect condition, who wonder why
they cannot endure as much AS formerly,
and why it is they have been losing strength
The answer is simple, and is, that the vigor
of the system is impaired, aud hence the
new particles OF life do not take the place of
the dead ones. To all such people Volina
Cordial isn God send. 1t cures female in
firmities by regulating the functions, giving
strength to diseased parts and making the
flesh clear and rosy. 1t restores debilitated
men by restoring tho muscles, sinews and
organs which make strength and life. 1t is
blessing to thousands and its wonderful
popularity is the best proof possible of the
good work it is accomplishing.
