Is THIS WHAT Ais YoU?-Do you
have dull, heavy headache, obstruction
of the nasal passages, discharges falling
from the head into the throat (some-
times profuse, watery and acrid, at
others thick, tenacious, mucous, puru-
lent, bloody and putrid); eyes weak,
watery and infiamed; ringing in the
ears, deafness, hacking or coughing to
clear the throat, expectoration of often
sive matter, together with scabs from
ulcers; voice changed and nasal twang;
breath offensive; smell and taste i'm
paired? Is there sensation of dizziness,
with mental depression, hacking
cough and general debility? If you
have all, or any considerable number, of
these symptoms you are suffering from
nasal catarrh. The more complicated
your disease has become the greater
the number and diversity of symptoms.
Thousands of cases annually, without
manifesting half of the above symp-
toms, result in consumption and end in
the grave. No disease is so common,
more deceptive and dangerous, less
understood or more unsuccessfully
treated by physicians. The manufac-
turers of DR.. Sage's Catarrh Remedy
offer, in good faith, reward of $500
for case of this disease which they
cannot cure. The Remedy is sold by
druggists at only fifty cents.

Not Belonging to the Flock.

One evening gentleman went out
with shepherd to collect his sheep.
After they had been gathered together
and were being driven off the moor it
was observed that some among them did
not belong to the flock. The shepherd,
however, paid no attention whatever to
these wandering strangers, urged for
ward though they were by the barking
dog further and further from their
rightful companions. AT last, thinking
he must have been mistaken in suppos-
ing they were not the shepherds, the
gentleman pointed to one of them and
said: Are those your sheep?" The
shepherd answered emo" Then he
asked: " But why do you not separate
them from the fock?" The shepherd
answered: "They will find out directly
that they do not belong here and they
will go of themselves" This reminds
one of the words of John where he
said "They went out from us, but
they were not of us, for if they had
been of us they would no doubt have
continued with us. "-Erchange.

d" HObsOn's Choice"

Did you know that this familiar
phrase, Hobson's CHOICE" preserves
the memory of very good and useful
man? Thomas Hobson was born in
1914. He was for sixty years a carrier
between London and Cambridge, con-
veying to and from the University let
tiers and packages, also passengers. In
addition to his express business he had
a livery stable and let horses to the
University students. He made it rule
that all the horses should have, accord
ing to their ability, proper division of
work and rest. They were taken out
in regular order, as they stood, begin
ming with the one nearest the door. No
choice was allowed, and if any man re-
fused to take the animal assigned him
he might go without any. That or
none. Hence the phrase Hobson's
choice" In the spring of 1880 the
plague broke out in England. The COL
leges of Cambridge were closed, and
among the precautions taken by the
authorities to avoid infection Hobson
was forbidden to go to London. He
died in January, 1851, partly, it is said,
from anxiety and fretting at his en-
forced leisure. Hobson was one of the
wealthiest citizens of Cambridge, and
did much for the benefit of the city, to
which he left several legacies. His
death called forth many poems from
members of the University, officers and
students, among them two by the poet
Milton, then student at Christ's Col
lege.-ChriStmaS Wide A,cake.

Seven Questions.

If you meet with an atheist do not
let him entangle you into the discussion
of side issues. AS to many points
which he raises you must learn to make
the rabbits answer: " do not know"
But ask him these seven questions: O
Ask him, "What did matter come
from? Can dead thing create itself?"
(2) Ask him, "Where did motion come
from?" (3) Ask him, "Where does
life come from save the fnger-tip
of Omnipotence?" (4) Ask him,
Whence came the exquisite order and
design in nature? If one told you that
millions of printers types should for
tuitously shape themselves into the
divine comedy of Dante or the plays
of Shakespeare would you not think
him a madman?" (5) Ask him,
Whence came consciousness" (6)
Ask him, "Who gave you free will?"
CD Ask him, Whence came con-
science?" He who says there is no
God in the face of these questions
talks simply stupendous nonsense.
This, then, is one of the foundations
one of the things which cannot be
shaken and will remain. From this
belief in God follows the belief in God 5
providence, the belief that we are his
people and the sheep of his pasture. -

True Charity.

The truly charitable are always
thoughtful. They have learned the in
estimable art of doing kindness in the
kindest manner. A benevolent man
DIR. Wilson of Bath - discovered a
sick, poor and had numerous family.
One evening he gave friend fifty
pounds, requesting him to deliver it in
the most delicate manner and as from
an unknown person. The friend said,
81 will wait upon him early in the
morning." You will oblige me, sir,
by calling directly. Think of what i'm
portance a good nights rest may be to
that poor man." On the principle that
charity to the soul is the soul of
charity" we should try to improve peo-
ple's moral nature rather than aim
merely at making them more comfort
able in their bodies. Surround people
with every luxury and they will be
miserable still unless their hearts and
wills are in harmony with the mora
laws of the universe. Is it not strange
that people should be so ready to help
those who do not want help and so
brutally careless about those who do?
Dinners are given to those whose health
would be much improved if they ate less
while those who really want a dinner
find great difficulty in getting one

Binding orr.

The expression is domestic one. 1t
is connected with knitting needles and
crochet hooks, which are being vigor-
ously piled just now for the Christmas
season. When the young lady who has
crocheted beautiful afghan with which
to surprise some of her male friends on
that morning has made one of its
stripes of the requisite length her work
is not completed till she has =" bound it
off," 1t is an application of the hook
on the last row which prevents it from
raveling out. Without it little ten
sion on the end of the yarn would pull
out the labor of weeks. The process is
a suggestive one. 1t is worth while in
life to bind things off, to take those
stitches which shall secure to us per-
manently the fruit of previous labor. A
good deal of our work is constantly I'M
raveling for want of this process. 1t
is so in intellectual culture. Hours
and weeks may be spent in the acquisi-
ton of language, but if the habit of
reading or speaking is not kept up
The Vermont watchman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1883-1911, 1888-01-04

in a comparatively short time it
ravels out. The woman who gives
up her music, on marrying, when per-
haps she has most need of it, finds
her facility soon unraveling at a
rapid rate. In intellectual acquisi-
tons we cannot, unfortunately, take
few stitches at the end of our
studies and be sure that henceforth
they will be permanently ours. The
method of binding off" so far as the
memory is concerned, is repetition and
review. A few minutes each day may
thus preserve to us some possession of
memory or faculty or power which is
worth retaining. 1t is equally true with
moral effort. To " bind off " is simply
to clinch the nail, to furnish a hold-fast,
to drive home conviction, to settle
cause upon a solid foundation, to en-
body principle in an institution where
it may have permanent value. How
many men are there who spend years in
the acquisition of money, and then, at
their death, let their fortune ravel out,
frittered away among a lot of quarrel
ing heirs, when thy might have bound
off" and retained forever the moral
and benefcent value of that fortune by
generously investing it in some noble
enterprisel Such gift when bound
on earth is bound in heaven. Be sure
that you engage in some work which is
worth doing and that you seek to pre-
serve those results which are worth
preserving. Every man and woman
has this opportunity to lay up treas
ures which shall not fade.-Christion

The Reward of Perseverance.

AT one of the mills in the city of
Boston boy was wanted, and piece
of paper was tackled on one of the
posts, so that all the boys could see it
as they passed by. The paper read:
"Boy wanted. Call at the office to-
morrow morning." AT the time named
there was host of boys at the gate.
All were admitted, but the overseer was
little perplexed as to the best way OF
choosing from so many, and he said:
"Now, boys, when / only want one of
you how can l choose from so many?"
After thinking moment he invited
them all into the yard, and, driving a
nail into one of the large trees and
taking a short stick, told them that the
boy who could hit the nail with stick
a little distance from the tree should
have the place. The boys all tried hard,
and, after three trials, each failed to
hit the nail. The boys were told to
come again next morning, and this
time when the gate was opened there
was but one boy, who, after being adj
mitted, picked up the stick, and, throw
ing it at the nail, hit it every time.
How is this?" said the overseer.
" What have you been doing?" And
the boy, looking up with tears in his
eyes, said: You see, sir, | have a
mother, and we are very poor. l have
no father, sir, and l thought l would
like to get the place and so help all 1
can, and after going home yesterday l
drove nail into the barn and have
been trying ever since, and have come
down this morning to try again" The
boy was admitted to the place. Many
years have passed since then and this
boy is now prosperous and wealthy
man, and at the time of an accident at
the mills he was the first to step for
ward with a gift of $500 to relieve the
sufferers. His success came by perse-

Lead softly, tits little child
OF few and tender years;
Give him your smiles, nor yet demand
The trouble of his tears.
His knowledge of the right and wrong"
Is but an outline yet,
To be filled in by loves soft hand
That he may not forget.
Lead softly through the pleasant paths
That skirt life's garden fair
There's time enough for doubt and fear,
There's time enough for care.
Show him the bud and blossom sweet
That every field adorns;
There's time enough for little feet
To find the cruel thOrns.
Speak softly, for the infant ear
Is now attuned to love;
The harsh, impatient word will scarce
His tender spirit move.
Voices of home are sweet to him,
They bound his new found shore;
There's time enough for him to hear
Earths discord and its roar.
Lead softly through fair chldhood's gate
And up the steps of time
The little child God gave to you
TILL in his manhood's prime,
He turns with benedction fond
Upon his grateful tongue
For those who clasped with tenderness
His hand when he was young. Selected
