A CLAIM TO HUMAN GRATITUDE.

Charlotte Corday, the sad-faced. tender
hearted peasant girl of Normandy made great
history by ono desperate act!
Sickened by the sarurnalia OF the French
revolution, and moved to desperation as
Kobespierre and Msrat were leading the Hover
of France to the euillotine, she determined that
she would put an end to Marat's bloody reign.
Marat had demanded Two hundred thousand
victims for the guillotinei
he proposed To- kill off the enemies or the
Revolution to make it perpetual
Horrible thought!
No wonder 1t fred the blood of this patriotic
peasant maid!
Gaining access to bis closely guarded quarters
by q subterfuge, she found him in his bath,
even then inexorable and giving written di-
rections for further slaughter!
He asked her the name Of the inimical
deputies who had taken refuge In Caen. She
told him. and he wrote them down. THAT 10
WE'LL Before a week 10 over they shall all be
brought to the guiliotine."
At these words, Charlotte drew from her
bosom the knife, and plunged it with super
natural force up TO the hilt in the heart of
Marat
Come to me. my dear friend, come to me"
cried Msrat, aud expired under the blow!
In the Corsorsn gallery at Washington Is q
behind the prison bars the day before her ex-
ecution.
1t is a thrilling. sad picture. full of sorrow for
her suffering country, and OF unconQuerable
hate Tor her countrys enemies.
What q lesson In this tragic story! Two
hundred. nay, FIVE hundred thousand people
would Marat have sacrificed to his unholy pas
sion OF poweri
Methods are quite as murderous and in
exorable AZ men, aud they number their victims
by the millions.
The page of history is full of murders by
authority and by mistaken ideasi In the
practice Of medicine alone how many hundreds
of millions have been allowed to die and as

But the age is lettering. Men and methods
are improving. A few years ago 1t was worth
one's professional life 10 advise or permit the
use of a proprietary medicine. To-day there
are not two phyeiclsns in any town in this
country who do not regularly prescribe some
