Buying Anotl,cr's WIFI.

Ellis Thompson, u wealthy farmer,
liyin. about II milo from Ocean Grove,
N. j., had long loved Katie Carson,
u pretty girl Of Rcd Bank, but llo
could not win her in tho usual way, SO
now he has bought her from her hus.
band, and taken possession Of her as
his wife, together with her two chill
drcn. Six years ago farmer Thomp-
son and Hiram satterlcc were rivals
for the hand OF fair Katie. Thompson
was rich. ugly and forty. sattcrlcc
was twenty-five, handsome and poor.
Satterlce won the girl and
married her. They lived until n
week ago in u little house along the
railroad, near Deal Lake. Satterlee
was employed on the New York and
Long Branch road, but intempcrance
had ruined him, and he has given but
scanty support to his family. Lately
Thompson saw how poor the family
was, and how the woman he loved was
being ill-nsed by her husband. His
sympnthics went out to the injured
wife, and he longed to take her to his
house he was building on his farm, and
which was so rapidly nearing compile
tion. How to overcome the insur-
mountable difficulties which SEEM
ell to present themselves was the one
question in his mind. Atlength he had
q happy inspiration. He would buy
her. When hc bronchc1 tho subject
to Mrs. Sattcrlcc she received the pro-
position with fewer scruples than he
had expected; she Appreciated his soil
citude, and ii she could not return
his affection, hcr gratitude would go u
long way towards it. Tho question
now arose as to whether the husband
would make IL reasonable bargain.
Mr.. Thompson went to tho house and
broachcl the subject. Satterlec
thought at first it was U joke, but
when he saw Thompson was in earn
est he became serious, and finally of.
iered to cllshis wife and children for
5000. Mr.Thompson put down tho
casl, at once. That night S;lttcrlee
left for New York, and the woman
and children are now living with
Thompson in comfort and happiness.

IT WON'T BAKE BREAD. In other
words Hoods Sarsaprilla will not do
impossibilities. Its proprietors tell
plainly what it has done, submit proofs
from sources of unqnostioped reliability,
and ask you frankly if you are suffering
from any disease or affection caused or
promoted by impure blood or low state
of the system, to try Hood Sarsaparlla.
The experience of others is suffient as
surance that you will not be disappointed
in the result.

advice. BY what magnetism he has
gained the allegiance of the little girls
for it seems to be chiefly the girls
who were so interested-we cannot say,
but they all declare that he is ''real
cute" everything he does is funny"
and one devoted young lady has been
heard to say that, if Mr.. Wolfe should
kill man she would know it was all
right. If he had impressed upon the
youthful mind principles of truthfulness
obedience and diligence. if he had pre-
scented to them an ideal for their follow
ing, it is hardly probable that the
children would Immediately have de-
parted from this teaching, to deceive
and cheat for a chance to hear him
talk. His ''cute" performances and
funny sayings have been the attrac-
ton. His religion is grossly material
of the earth, earthly. Fear is the mstive
power of the religious life he urges upon
one, and escape from hell the end at
tanned. If you would escape literal
fire. the only thing necessary is to rise
in one of his meetings and say you ac-
cept Christ, after that you are absolutely
safe. Fancy tor a moment the enormity
of such doctrine and the fearful re-
suits. The coward who fears death, if
he ''confesses publicly may still pur-
sue his evil courses, the slanderer may
SANDER, the thief may still steal, the
gambler may gamble, but he shall
escape hell fire Such a doctrine IS
destructive of all moral law, and would
make indeed literal hell upon earth.
If there has been any presentation of a
lofty spiritual ideal. if Mr.. Wolfe has
presented spiritual truths. if he has
aroused truly spiritual longings, we
should be glad to know it. So far as
we can learn, he has appealed only to
the physical side of MANS nature, which
already rrides the spiritual, and by
presenting material punishment has
tried to whip people into what he calls
confession" When the scare is over
what will be the result?
