A CLAIM TO HUMAN GRATITUDE.

Charlotte Corday, the sad-iaeed, tender
aeaTted peasant girl Of Normandy made
great history by one desperate actl
Sickened blythe saturnalia OF the French
revolution, and moved to desperation as
Robespie:re and Marat were leading the
flower of France to the guillotine, she
determined that she would put an end
to Marat's bloody reign
Marat had demanded two hundred
thousand victims for the guilotine!
He proposed to kill of the enemies OF
the Revolution to make it perpetual
Horrible thoughtl
No wonder it fred the blood OF this
patriotic peasant maid!
Gaining access to his closely guarded
quarters by subterfuge, Ehs totfnd him
in his bath even then inexorable and
giving written directions for further
slaughter
He asked her the names of the inimical
deputies who had taken refuge in Caen.
She told him, and he wrote them down.
THAT is wellI Before week is over
they shall all be brought to the
guillotine."
1t these words, Charlotte drew from
her bosom the knife, and plunged it with
supernatural force up 10 the hiIt in the
heart of Marnt.
Come to me, my dear friend, come
to me-" cried Marat, and expired under
the blowl
In the Corcoran gallery at Washington
is a famous painting of Charlotte, repre-
sented as behind the prison bars the day
before her execution.
1t is a thrilling, sad picture, full of
sorrow for her suffering country, and OF
unconouerable hate for her country's
enemies.
What lesson in this tragic storyI Two
hundred, nay, five hundred thousand
people would Marat have sacrificed to
his unholy passion Of power
Methods are quite as murderous and
iaexorable as men, and they number their
victims hv the millions.
TLr Of history is full Of murders
by 81 lily and by mistaken ideas
In the rractice of medicine alone how
many hundreds Of millions have been
allowed TO die and as many more killed
by unjusIifiable bigotTy and by bungling
But the age is bettering. Men and
methods are improving. A few years ago
il was worth Cne's professional life to
advise or permit the use Of q proprietary
medicine. To-day there are not two
Physi ians in any town in this country
who do not regularly prescribe some form
Of proprietary remedy
II. II. Warner, famed all over the,woFld
as the discoyerer of Warmers safe cure,
began hunting up the old remedies oi
the Log Cabin days; after long and
patient research he succeeded in secur-
ing some OF the most valuable, among
family records, and called them Warner
Log Cabin reInedies-the simple prepara-
tons OF roots, leaves, balsams and herbs
which were the Successful standbys OF
our graHjmothers. These simple, old
fashioned sarsaparilla, hops and buchu,
cough and consumption and other rem
edies have struck popular chord and
are in extraordinary cemand all over
the land. They are not the untired and
imaginary remedies OF some dabstar
chemist intent on making money, but
the long-sougbt principles OF the healing
art which for generations kept our ances,
/ tors in perfect health, put forth for the
/ good Il humanity by one who is knowI
/ all over the world as a philanthropist-
1 a lover Ci his fellow man, whose
