Good Advice from Talmage.

Brethren of literary toll, you had bet
ter hold up. If you are going at the
rate of sixty miles an hour, you had
better stop and 90 no more than thirty
The temptations to overwork for liter
airy men are multiplying all the time in
increased newspapers and magazines
and lecturing platforms. The tempta-
ton to night work is especially great
that kind of work which is most ex-
hausting and ruinous. When the sun
goes down God puts his candle out and
says to the world, My child, you had
better go to sleep; have put the can
die out" The brass-headed nails of
collins are made out of gas-light. The
money that man makes out of mid
night toll he pays towards the expenses
of his own funeral. When the devil
can not stop a good mans work by
making him lazy, then he comes into
the editors room, or into the minister's
study, or into the artists studio, and
he says go i. you ought to be doing
five times the work you are doing. You
ought to write two books this year.
You ought to send out twenty or thirty
additional articles" Then, when his
health fails, there is Satanic congratu-
lations. The devil first tries to stop a
useful man by making him lazy. Fail
ing in that, he puts on the lash and
digs in the spurs, and drives him to

from the days of the Pharaohs to those
of the khedives. That long forefinger
pointing to heaven was a symbol which
spoke to the Puritan exile as it spoke
of old to the enslaved Israelite. Was
there ever any such water as that which
we used to draw from the deep, cold
well, in "the old oaken bucket?" What
memories gather about the well in all

made at its margin, from the times of
Jacob and Rachel downward What
fairy legends hover over it, what fear
full mysteries has it hidenl The beau
tiful well-sweep! 1t is too rarely that
we see it, and as it dies out and gives
place to the odious convenient pump,
with the last patent on its cast iron un-
interestingness, does it seem as if the
farm-yard aspect had lost half its at
traction? So long as the dairy farm
exists, doubtless there must be every
facility for getting water in abundance !;

be made up to us even if our milk were

Judge Gary's Daughter.

Miss Fannie Gary, the talented
daughter of Judge Joseph E. Gary, has
worked for two weeks in a Division
street tailor shop and has proved her.
self worthy member of the Girls
Friendly Society of st. James church.
1t was several years ago that Jens An
derson deserted his wife and children,
leaving them penniless in the worst
quarter of Milton avenue. The day
soon came when there was no food in
the house and starvation stared the in
mates in the face. Death was hover
ing near, when knock came at the
door and Miss Gary entered. With the
aid of her associates, she soon saw that
there was plenty to eat and to wear for
the inmates of the little home. The
two girls, Mathilde and Mary, were Sc
cured positions in a tailor shop, and
work was also provided for the mother.
Miss Gary never lost sight of her
charges, and three weeks ago she
noticed that the hard work and long
hours were telling on Mary Anderson.
So she offered to send her to pretty
resort on Lake Wisconsin. 81 can't

thought moment, then said: " You
go and enjoy yourself, and will see
that your place is taken" Mary left,
and the next morning, as the train was
speeding the little worker westward,
Miss Gary, clad in plain black gown,
entered the tailor shop and announced
that she had come to take Mary Ander-
sons place. All that day she stitched
away at the coarse cloth, and on every
morning for two weeks she was al
her self-appointed task. Leaving her
fathers home at six in the morning,
she did not return until seven, and it
was not until Mary Anderson returned
that it was learned that Judge Gary's
daughter worked for two weeks in a
tailor shop.-Chicdgo Dispatch.

Where Our Greatest Wealth Is.

In the region beyond the ninety
eighth meridian of longitude west of
Greenwich, the initial point being st.
Paul, and its final one North Platte,
Nebraska, while on the south it extends
eastward to Fort Worth, Texas ,seight-
cen states and territories were visited
and traversed. The contrasts offered
by it to the solitude of 1865 were almost
amazing. West of the meridian named
there are now at least $4,000 miles of
railroad, and of telegraph wire not less
than 100000 miles. OF telephone and
electric light cables, in proportion to
population, there are more miles in use
than elsewhere within the United
States. There is to-day more property
owned per capita than elsewhere on the
continent. Two-ffths of the national
domain is found west of the line given,
and certainly three-fifths of the remain
ing public lands of the United States
must be sought for in the same region;
and that, too, without considering
Alaska. Yet how few persons are cog
infant of the fact that East and West,
the geographical center of this Union
is somewhere in the Bay of San Fran
cisco; for with the Aleutian Islanders
flying our flag within fifty miles of the
Siberian coast of Asia, our domain ex-
tends on northwestern and south
western line, some 5000 miles beyond

One of Elk Senator jones' Stories.

Ex-senator Jones, when he first came
to Detroit, was noted as an excellent
story-teller Many citizens will recall
one he told on several occasions. 1t
was during a congressional campaign
and he was "stumping Florida.
Arriving at a small town about noon,
he started out after dinner for a walk
about the village, on the outskirts of
which he came upon a building thronged
with people. Upon inquiry he learned
that the building was a church, and
that wedding was about to take place.
He edged his way through the crowd
until he reached a spot where he had
good view of the bride and groom and
the clergyman who was to perform the
ceremony. The church was packed,
with the exception of low, dark gal
lery near the roof. This was appar-
emily deserted. The minister pro-
ceeded with the ceremony until he
came to the point where the custom
then in vogue in that neighborhood re-
quired him to pause and inquire if
there was any one present who knew
any reason why the couple should not
be made husband and wife. A hush
fell upon the assemblage, and every
body waited in breathless suspense.
Something of sensation was caused
when voice came from the upper gal
lery, saying: /" Yes, l have" All
eyes were turned to the loft, where,
seated all alone in the gloom, was
barely discernible meek-looking little
man, with haggard face and dishev-
eled hair. After the clergyman had
recovered from his surprise, he said,
sternly: State your reason, sir"
The suspense was turned to merriment
by the mans reply: "I want the gal
myself" he said.-Detroit Free Press.

ALL ABOUT NERVOUSNESS.
An Insidious Disease Which Destroys Its
Thousands.

Nervousness, or nervous weakness, is a
disease of comparatively modern growth.
1t loves brilliant mark, and the best and
brightest men and women of our land be-
come its prey. There are many causes
which bring it on-overwork, worry; i'm
proper food, exposure, over-indulgence in
ale holic beverages or tobacco, and excess
CO q different kinds.
Nothing presents a more pitiable sight
than person suffering from serious ner-
vous prostration. Themind becomes weak
and forgetful the patient cannot sleep,
and there are terrible pains in the head.
Feelings of dependency or depression are
ever present; there is restlessness of the
eyes, and disinclination to meet people:
the features become pale, careworn, and
haggard; the muscles weak and flabby,
and there is general sense Of being unfit
for anything.
Some of our most distinguished people
have trod this awful road which ends in
paralysis, apoplexy, paresis, insanity,
death Happily a cure has at last been
discovered for this fearful disease. An
eminent medical gentleman, professor in
Dartmouth College has made discovery
which will bring happiness to many a
heart. 1t is called Paine's Celery Com
pound, and is natures own restorative for
weakened nervous power Under its in
vlgorating and health-giving action, the
mind will soon regain its vigor; the eyes
will sparkle as of old, the muscles become
firm, the nerves strong, the blood will pull
safe rapidly and steadily, and the tide of
health will come back again.
This reliable preparation creates an APP
petite, gives sound sleep and as yet is the
only known remedy for nervous diseases

An Interrupted Prayer.

Some seventy years ago, when a
menagerle was almost a thing unknown,
and solitary wild beast was now and
then carried about the country for ex-
hibition, certain New England vii
lage was thrown into commotion by the
news that an elephant was to be ex-
hibited in neighboring town. The
village which is the scene of my story
was not large enough to induce its ex-
hibitor to make any stay there, but his
road lay through it. Now an elephant
could not be packed away or in any
manner be kept out of sight. His jour
ney must be made in full view, and
everybody could get good look at him,
and everybody was excited accordingly.
Day after day passed. No elephant
The exhibition had been advertised for
Monday, and Saturday night had come,
with no tidings of the famous traveller.
Sunday morningl The " sound of the
church-going bell " summoned the peo-
pla. Parson Adams had begun 1.-THE
long prayer" and the congregation
stood devoutly attentive, to all appear
ance. But there was at least one ex-
ception, for DR.. Dobson's pew, near an
open window, commanded a view of
the highway, and DIR. Dobson's eyes,
wide open, were fixed upon the pros
pect. A cloud of dust arose. Then
slowly above the hill opposite the win
dow the head of huge beast came into
sight. The eager doctor forgot time
and place, and, shouting, The ee-
plants coming! there he is!' he was
out of the window like dart. Off
rushed the congregation, and whether
Parson Adams finished his prayer ira
dition has not told.-Vide Awake.

The Old Well-Sweep.

l was driving with friend, the other
day, through somewhat dreary stretch
of country, where there seemed to be
very little to attract notice or deserve
remark. Still, the old spirit infused by
Eyes and No Eyes was upon me,
and looked for something to fasten
my thought upon and treat as an artist
treats study for picture. The first
object to which my eyes were drawn
was an old-fashioned well-sweep. 1t
did not take much imaginative sensibil-
ity to be stirred by the sight of this most
useful, most ancient, most picturesque
of domestic conveniences. | know
