THE DEVIL OUTDONE.

death, it is considered supremacy I'M

the rift in the great door,

something to this effect in terms more

When the procession formed to enter
the building for the conservation, the

The Law Which Enelrcles the Entire Glos,

Travellers who have gone far countries for
to see " say that they find human nature pretty
much the same all the world over.
They find wide variance in color of skin, in
physical contour, in mental characteristics, but
in the essential elements that control social
conduct, the human family is brotherhood.
The law, unwritten, found in statute book,
enforced by no court decrees but having an in
fuence circumscribed only by the limits of
earthly space, is the law Of kindness.
Among peoples where cruelty to human kind
is almost a fixed habit who are relentless foes,
and as friends scarcely less to be dreaded whose
savage natures revel in fendish atrocities, there
yet fingers the spark of divinity which lifts
man above the beasts.
Sorrow melts the human heart wherever
found, and sympathy mingles its tears with
grief all the world over. Where pity does not
dwell, there lives no thing of human kind. 1t
is the touch of nature that makes the whole
world kim"
What terrible world this would be to live
in were it not for the sympathy and loving
kindness shown US when sorrow comes, for it is
decreed that in all lives +" some days must be
dark and dreary."
The 10000 and more voluntary testimonials
the proprietors of Warmers safe cure have re-
ceived in regard to the efficacy of that remedy
reveal "this touch of nature +" in peculiar
manner. The great majority of them acknoWl-
edge that it was through some kind friend who,
in pity for their suffering, had made known to
them the wonderful merits Of this great
remedy.
The testimonial of Capt. Geo. B. Wiltbank,
of Philadelphia, is fair sample. He was put
ashore from his ship to die of fever resulting
from kidney and liver trouble, and as physi-
clans could not help him, there seemed no hope
for him. But he says +" A friend of mine, who
happened into port, came to see me, and urged
me to begin the use of Warmers safe cure" He
began to use it as his friend advised, and was
cured in a very short time.
How many men there are to-day in the world
rounding out lives of usefulness, making the
world happier and better, who would have long
since passed to the other shore, had it not been
for the loving kindness of friends, shown in
this practical way, as these testimonials from
all quarters of the globe afford ample evidence

tuuity to meet, for the first time in many
months, an outspoken Union man, who was also
