w. c.. T. u. COLUMN.
MORO: "God and Home and Native Lam
Growing Old.

They call it sGoing down the HILL" when we
are growing old,
And speak with mournful accents Wheh our
tale is nearly told
They sigh when talking of the past the Gays
that used to be,
Asiftbe future was not bright with immor-
tally.
But it is not going down; it's climbing high
and higher,
Until we almost see the mountain that our
souls desire;
For if the natural eye grows dim II Is ou1 ann
to earth,
While the eye of faith grows keener to dis
Germ the Saviour's worth.
Who would exchange for soothing blade the
waving golden grain?
Or when the corn is fully ripe wlsh II green
again?
And who would wish the hoary head, found in
the way of truth,
To be again encircled with the sunny locks OF
youth?
For though, in truth, the outward man must
perish and decay,
The inward man shall be renewed py grace
from day to day;
Those who are planted by the Lord unshaKeh
in their root,
Shall in their old age flourish and bring forth
their choicest fruit.
1t is not years that make men OLD; the splrl'
may be young
Though fully e-years-and-ten the
wheels of life have run.
God has Himself recorded in His blessed word
of truth,
That they who wait upon the Lord shall cen
renew their youth.
And when the eye, now dim, shall open TO pc
hold the King,
And ears now dull with age snail near the
harps of Heaven ring,
And on the head now hoary shall be placed
the crown of gold,
Then shall we know the lasting Joy OF never
growing old.

THE LABOR OF AUTHORSHIP.

David Livingstone said: Those who
have never carried a book through the
press can form no idea of the amount
of toll it involves. The process has
increased my respect for authors
thousand fold. L think 1 would rather
cross the African continent again than
undertake to write another book.
For the statistics of the negro popu-
lation of South America alone, says
Robert Dale Owen, I examined more
than a hundred and fifty volumes.
Another author tells us that he wrote
paragraphs and whole pages of his
book as many as fifty times.
1t is said of one of LongfelloW's
poems that it was written in four
weeks, but that he spent six months
in correcting and cutting it down.
BuIwer declared that he had written
some of his briefer productions as
MANY as eight or nine times before
their publicrtion. One of Tennyson's
pieces was written fifty times. John
Owen was twenty years on his Com
mentary on the Epistle to the He
brews:" Gibbon on his "Decline and
FALL twenty years; and Adam Clark
on his Commentary" twenty
years. Carlyle spent fifteen years on
his ''Frederick the Great"
A great deal of time is consumed in
reading before some books are prepar-
ed. George Elliott read one thousand
books before she wrote ''Daniel De-
ronda.'' Alison read two thousand
before he completed his history. 1t is
said of another that he read twenty
thousand and wrote only two books.

STORY OF GENERAL SHERMAN.

General sherman related the follow
u anecdote of his experience IN
emphis:
1T was in July, 1862, when we en-
-ad Memphis. Before the first OF
troops reached the town orders
Il been issued by the rebel authorl-
Is that every shop, tavern, hotel,

AD1ained to him that Memphis was

buntrymen-that such a recepUion
as inhospitable and must be changed,
I,d that he must order and instruct
Irerv house to be opened forthwith.
his was complied with, to the imme-
ate satisfaction of everybody. There
ppeared. however, at headquarters
n Episcopal clergyman named DE-
White. who was somewhat demured. L
xplained to him that the people OF

UMBRELLAS.

What great looseness of morals on
the subject of umbrellas! Who would
think that intelligent men, the mem
bers of churches, would have the con-
science to pick up and carry off these
important articles of shelter and COM
fort? Who is there that, for the term
of one year, has continued in the pos
session of his umbrella? We cannot
set one down without the feeling that
we probably shall never look upon its
face again. We hold it nervously un-
der our arm, realizing that this may
be be the last time we shall ever walk
down town in its company. We are
conscious that, when a shower comes
on the city, we have about twenty
umbrellas exposed TO the weather.
We go through a crowd OF people on
a wet day, not knowing but that we
NAV be in close proximity to full
dozen of these strayed articles. When
we pass a man looking down to the
pavement we feel that probably his
conscience troubles him, and wonder
whether the one he took had a
wooden or ivory handle. When we
see a man in high wind with his UNI
brella turned wrongs side out, so that
instead of keeping the rain off of him
it seems fixed to keep him off of the
rain-I suspect he is only suffering
the penalty of some felony. We have
known men scrupulously exact, for
ward in all great philanthropies, kline
fathers, useful citizens, brilliant ex
ampIes for us to follow, unimpeach
able in all other respects, yet wh'
could not be trusted five minutes in ;

When taken to task for speaking too
well of persons in general, Miss Will
lard defends herself by saying that
her mother has often declared her to
be a reproduction of her staunch old
Vermont grandfather, who was a pl-
oneer to Western New York, an eX-
horter in the meeting house, and dear
knows what besides; and whose in
variable remark to his six daughters
when they would come to him to show
him what toothsome butter they had
made, or what fine web of cloth they
had spun, when there was in any wise
occasion for him to speak in terms OF
praise, used this exhaustive formula;
''Noble, noble, noble, nice, nice, nice"
So Miss Willard considers herself en-
titled to deal in superlatives by hered-
itary permission, as well as by envir-
onment, her mother having been "a
chip of the old block"

THE GREAT PETITION.

John Milton once said, Performers
look very small in the eye OF the world,
but very large in the eye of God, they
are so much nearer Him." So we be-
ieve every effort of Gods people for
the amelioration of the sins and suffer-
ings of His creatures, though small IN
the estimate of world, are great IN the
mind of Him who alone can render
them victorious.
The great petition of the Worlds
w. G. T. U. is the plea of suffering, SOD
bling womanhood for the protectlon
of her home and the salvation Of her
sons and daughters; one heart crowd
ino upon another in their outreach to-
ward God, until as one soul, leaV-
ing their all with Him, they catch the
sound of His voice, saying, 90 woman,
GREAT is thy faith; be it unto thee even
as thou wilt"
This petition is in circulation the
wide world over, but we fear some
woman may have failed to add hef
name, and will not be counted among
the pleading host, therefore, the Ma
tional W. G. T. Z. at its late meeting
at Atlanta promised renewed effort
that none may be omitted. Great Brit
ain is alive TO the work, and Europe,
Asia and Africa are pressing its CLAIMS.
While we desire the name of every
woman, we also want the Endorsement
OF men. Two copies OF the petition
can be circulated simultaneously; one
can be signed by women as peuUon-
ers, the other by men as lndorsers, al
ways leaving the back of the petition
free for FASTING upon thin cloth, in
preparation for it's journey round the
world. Miss Willard writes: eve
! hope this will be year when the work
! for this petition will be so largely in
creased, that when we meet at Ire
mont Temple, Boston, in November,
1891, there will be towers and bastions
of petitions heaped up as testimony
that the great document is about ready
to start on its travels. We want the
heart of Lady Henry Somerset to be
encouraged by the object lesson there
presented; and perhaps she will bring
over the immense roll of signatures
that she will have obtained from the
lady she has appointed for that pur-
pose. while I am sure that the DO
minion of Canada will not be in ar
rears, for it has already given US
good report of the work now in pro
gress."

Numerous remedies have been pre-
scribed for mosquito bites, but Ger
man writer says that ordinary soap is
as good as any of them. He always
carries a small piece with him on his
country excursions, and in case of a

part and allows it to dry on. The
burning is at once relieved, and all
pain soon disappears. Should it re-
turn, as sometimes happens, it is only

DON'T WORRY

To regain or recover health, persons
should be relieved from anxiety con-
concerning diseases. The mind mas
power over the body. For person
to think that he has a disease Will
often produce that disease. This we
see effected when the mind is intense
lv concentrated on the disease OF
another 1t is found in the hospitals
that physicians and surgeons VINO
make a speciality of a certain disease
are liable to die of it themselves; and
the mental power is so strong that
people sometimes die of diseases
which they have only in Imagination.
We have seen persons seaslck IN
anticipation of voyage, before reach-
ing the vessel. We have known
person to die of cancer of the stomach
when he had no cancer or any other
disease. A man blindfolded and
slightly pricked in the arm has tainted
and died from believing that he was
bleeding to death. Therefore, persons
in health and desiring to continue SO,
should at all times be cheerful and
happy, and those who are sick should
have their attention drawn as much
as possible from themselves. 1t is by
their faith that men are saved, and
also by their faith they die. If man
wills not to die he can often live in
spite of disease; and if he has little or
no attraction to live, he will slip away
as easily as child falls asleep.

in my head gave me no rest. My
memory failed me, until L could not re-
member the common occurrences about

lost strength very fast, until L seemingly

After reading your strong testimonials
1 decided to try DANA'S SARSAPA-

NOISES IN MY HEAD CEASED before l had
taken one bottle. My STRENGTH HAS RE
TURNED so do my work without fatigue
I have good appetite, sleep well nights,

know that the praise belongs to DANA'S

love of the big boy for his mother. 1t
is pure and noble, honorable in the
highest degree to both do not mean
merely dutiful affection. | mean a
love which makes a boy gallant and

love, this devotion of son to her.
