eyeballs have a sallow tinge, you may infer
also that his tongue is frrred, his breath apt

his digestion impaired. Instead of making q

UP AND DOWN.


We're up to-day on fortunes hill
And free from every sorrow,
But in the wheel of good and i'll
All may be changed tomorrow.
We're up and down as time flies on :
Now ease, now hardest labor
No millionaire can safely frown
Upon his lowly neighbor.
Riches take wings-the man of wealth
May meet with sudden losses,
When he whose only store is health
May ride behind his horses.
Then do not slight the toiling poor,
For labor Ter disgraces,
And though your fortune seems secure
Some day you may change places.
God help us all-we're poor at best
Dependent on each other
Though crowned with ease or sore dis
tressed,
Weak man is still man 3 brother.
Then when on fortune 3 top we stand,
No i'll our state attending,
Let US extend a helping hand
To those about descending,

THE TALMAGE SERMON.

Ezekiel xvii, II: They Traded in
Thy Fairs" He said: " Fairs may
be for the sale of goods or for the
exhibition of goods on small scale,
or a large scale, for county or city,
for one nation or for all nations. My
text brings us to the fairs OF ancient
Tyre, city that is now extinct
After describing the fairs of Tyre,
DR.. Talmage said: ut has been
decided that, in commemoration OF
the discovery of America in 1892,
there shall be held in this country 10
1892 a worlds fair that shall eclipse
all preceding national expositions. ]

worthy of all the architecture and

sanguine Christian patriot has ever
dreamed of.
~ suggest it is not wise, as GER.
tainly it is not Christian, to continue
this wide and persistent attempt of
American cities to belittle and depre-
ciate other cities. Further, let not
the materialistic and monetary idea
overpower the moral and religious.
Let US by increased harmony among
all denominations of religion impress
other nationalities as they come here
that year with the superior advant-
age of having all denominations
equal in the sight of government.

directly or indirectly, be interfered
with.
Another opportunity will be the
calling at that time and place of a
great peace congress for all nations.
The convention of representatives
from the Governments of North and
South America, now at Washington,
is only a type of what we may have
on vast and a worldwide scale at
the international exposition of 1892.
"Again, / suggest in regard
