The ecno, that is, of multitudes in the
house. am not preaching an abstraction,
but a great reality Obi friendless Young
man, OH prodigal young man, Oh broken
hearted young man, discouraged young man,
wounded young man, 1 commend you to
Christ this day, the best friend man
ever had. He meets you this
morning. You have come here for
this blessing. Despise not that emotion ris-
ing ID your soul; it is divinely lifted. Look
INTO the face of Christ. Lift one prayer to
your fathers God, to your mothers God, and
get the pardoning blessing. Now, while
speak, yoe are at the forks of the road, and
TINS Is the right road, and that is the wrong
ROAD and see you start on the right road.
One Sabbath morning, at the close of
my service, l saw a gold watch of the
world renowned and deeply lamented
vlolInist Ole Bull. You remember he died
in his island home off the coast of Norway.
That gold watch he had wound up day after
day through his illness and then he said to
ms companion: Nov l want to wind this
watch as long as l can, and then when 1 am
gone want you to keep it wound up until it
gets TO my friend DR.. Doremus, in New
York, and then he will keep it wound up until
his HE Is done, and then I want the watch to
go TO his younger son, my especial fayoriten
The great musician, who more than any
other artist had made the violin speak and
sing and weep and laugh and triunph-for
1t seemed when he drew the bow across the
strings as if all the earth and heaven
tremtled in delighted sympathy-the great
musician, in a room looking off upon the sea,
sand surrounded by his favorite instruments
of music closed his eyes in death.
, While all the world was mourning
at his departure, sixteen crowded steam
ers fell into line of funeral procession tocarry
his body to the main land. There were fifty
thousand of his eOmtrymen gathered in an
amphitheatre of the hills waiting to hear the
eulogium, and it was said when the great
orator of the day with stentorian voice be
gan to speak, the fifty thousand people on the
hlllsides burst into tears.
OH that was the close of life that had
done so much to make the world happy. But
l have TO tell you, young man, if you live
right and die right, that was a tame scene
compared with that which will greet you
,Ehen from the galleries of heaven the one
@1lssssls-el- and -farty and four thousand shall
accord with Christ in crying: ''Well done,
thou good and faithful servant
And the influences that on earth YOU put in

Vivid Writing.

A little descriptive piece entitled "Over
she Guns from the Detroit Free FresS, of
which we give a paragraph, reminds US that
great advertisers, like h Ii. Warner q Co,
proprietors of Warmers celebrated Safe Cure,
might get hint from it
Here is the paragraph:
shoot to the right or left, over the guns
or under them Strike where you Will, but
strike to destroy. Now the he'll surges down,
even to the windows of the old farmhouse
now back under the apple trees and beyond
them Dead men are under the ponderous
wheels of the guns, mad devils are slashlng
and shooting across the barrels No one
seems TO know friend from foe. Shoot, slash,
kIl and
"But the hell is dissolved The smoke is
lifting, shrieks and screams grow fainter,
and twenty or thirty living men pull the
dead bodies away from the guns. Three
hundred dead and wounded on the single
acre. They tell of war and glory. Look
over this helrs acre and find the latter And
in Just as deadly a strife. though noiSeless,
are men falling at our right and left to-day.
Is it war; Yes, war OF the blood. Blood
loaded with poison through imperfect kid
ney action. And is there no power to stop
this awful slaughter! Yes, Warmers Safe
Cure, a tried specific, a panacea that has
brought life and hope to hundreds OF thou
sands of dying men and women.
Be enlisted, therefore, in the great army
of living men and women who have been
rescued from disease and premature death,
and be eternally grateful that the means Of
life can so easily be yours

Caban Country Folk.

The country people of Cuba live in
matched houses of three or four rooms
with dirt floors. The leaves of the royal
palm are used for matching, and the
bark ;or the sides of the house. One
room Is used for the kitchen They have
10 stoves or Ere places. In the center of
the kitchen is table about three feet
high covered with dirt. On this they
make the FIRE and do the cooking-each
utensiI having 4 small fire under it. The
smoke escapes through the doors and
windows. The babies live mostly on the
dirt floors, consequently they are not
very clean or prepOssessing. The dogs
and pigs seem to be perfectly at home
with the children On the rafters inside
the room tobacco is hung to dry. The
family all sleep in one room.
They are very hospitabIe; they meet
YOU on the threshold with the sslutation:
sSIi casa estu su disposesion l"-the
house is in your possession. The woman
of the house goes to the kitchen and pre-
pares cup OF coffee for the guest, which
is drank out of cup made out of fruit
similar 10 the cucumber. After partak-
inc of the coffee, a board and some
tobacco leaves will be brought out and
in short time the guests are provided
with cigars They all know how to
make cigars. Itwould be quite impolite
not TO accept and smoke cigars when
offered. The young ladies smoke
cigarettes and some married ladies
cigars.
Their bill of fare is rather a singular
one. and one that Americans do not
relish 70 great extent Everything is
served in courses. They boil all the
meat and vegetables in one pot I have
seen and eaten of a dish composed of
cabbages, potatoes, beets, carrots boiled
with ham, beef and bologna sausage.
ms DISH they cali Ola, = and is one OF
which the Cubans are very fond. An.
other favorite dish is baked turkey sliced
and served with onions. Their coffee is
always good 1'imes-D Democrat.

RUSSELL HARRISON, shortly after he
went to Montana, was one day walking
in the street in Bozeman when he sad
denly ran into the thick of dispute
in progress between two citizens.
There was a scuffie, and one of the
combatants dropped his principal argu-
ment on the sidewalk. Mr.. Harrison
picked up the revolver and politely
proceeded to return it to the owner,
but apother person who observed the
action thought Harrison was going to
shoot, and gave him a smash in the
left eye that landed him on his back.
Harrison had badly discolored optic
for several days, and was never known
thereafter to interfere with Territorial
arnusements.

a Wemsn,. InrentIon for the RlInd.

siIle Mulot, Of Anglers, France, has
invented a method by which the blind
can easily correspond with those who see.
The invention is, therefore, a marked
Improvement On the Brailie system of
raised letters, by which persons afflicted
with loss Of sight correspond with each
other only. Bile. 5Iulot's apparatus IS
really little printing press in portfolio
about the size Of sheet Of note paper.
The blind person spreads it out and i'm
presses the letters required on white
paper, under which there is a colored pad
which gives them blue appearance, and
they are thus not only brought out IN
relief for the touch of those deprived of
sight, but are also visible to the eyes of
those who see. One Of Mile. Mui0s's
blind pupils has been able, by means of
this system, 20 take part in COMPETE
tige examination for the diploma Of ele-
mentary teacher, and TO distance some
Of the candidates who were in possession
Of their visual faculties.

IN THESE Days when food adulteration is so
common, it is q comfort to find an article for
the table that is thoroughly reliable. Walter
Baker q Co.'S breakfast cocoa is eminent in
this limited class. No chemicals are used in
its manufacture and it IS absolutely pure. 1t
forms moreover a delicious and healthful
rink, as refreshing and more nutritious than
,ea or cofee,aud free from the injurious effects
that those beverages sometimes produce. And
it is very cheap withal. The house of Walter
Baker & Co. has maintained for more than 100
years great and honored repute by the ex-
,ellenee and purity of its manufactures.

twenty-three or four years, who came to

with barely sufficient to keep him

been tonderly reared; perhaps I should
say too tenderly, and was not used to earning
