! In the old family mansion of heaven
1t is a good while since you parted at
/ the door of the grave. There will be
Grace and Mary and Martha and
/ Charlie and Lizzie and all the darlings
of your household-not pale and sick
and gasping for breath, as when you
saw them last, but their eye bright
/ with the luster of heaven and their
cheek roseate with the flush of celestial
summer.
What clasping of hands! What en-
bracingsl What coming together of
/ lip to lip! What tears of joyl You
say, Il thought there were no tears in
/ heaven" There must be, for the Bible
says that s'God shall wipe them away, !"
/ and if there were no tears there how
could he wipe them away? They can
not be tears of grief or tears of disap-
pointment. They must be tears of
gladness. Christ will come and say
s'What, child of heaven, is it too much
| for thee? Dost thou break down under
the gladness of this reunion? Then /
| around us and the other arm around
our loved one he shall hold us up in
/ the eternal jubilee.
OH, DAY OF REUNION.
While [ speak, some of you with
broken hearts can hardly hold your
peace You feel as if you would speak
out and say: "Oh, blessed day, speed
on! Toward thee p ass with blistered
| feet over the desert way. My eyes fail
for their weeping. l faint from listen
! ing for feet that will not come, and the
sound of voices that will not speak.
| Speed on, oh, day OF reunion! And
then. Lord Jesus, be not angry with
me if after | have just once kissed thy
blessed feet [ turn around to gather
up the long lost treasures of my heart.
| Oh, be not angry with mel One look
at thee were heaven. But all these
reunions are heaven encircling heaven,
heaven overlapping heaven, heaven
commingling with heaven"
! I was at Mount Vernon, and went
into the dining room in which our first
president entertained the prominent
men of this and other lands. It was a
very interesting spot. But, oh, the
banqueting hall of the family mansion
of which | speak! Spread the table,
spead it wide, for a great multitude are
to sit at it, From the Tree by the
River gather the twelve manner of
| fruits for that table.
Take the clusters from the heavenly
vineyards and press them into the gold
en- tankards for that table. On baskets
| carry in the bread of which, if man
eat, he shall never hunger. Take all
the shott-orn flags of earthly con-
| quest and entwine them among the
arches Let David come with his harp,
and Gabriel with his trumpet, and
Miriam with the timbrel; for the prodi-
gals are at home, and the captives are
free, and the Father hath invited the
mighty Of heaven and the redeemed of
earth to come and dine

IN AN OLD CAURCHYARD.

In one Of England's sweetest spots,
A little old gray church found;
Around 1t lies-dear restful ground
Gods garden with its sacred plots.
With myriad arms the ivy holds
Its time worn walls in close embrace,
So m emory sometimes keeps face
Half yelled in tender misty folds.
With sleepy twitter and with song
The tower, bird haunted, is alive;
In leafy seas they dip and dive,
Those tiny warblers all day long.
Lik, sentinels grown boar with age,
The crumbling headstones guard the
graves
That softly swell-green voiceless waves,
That will not break though tempests rage.
concerning them that are asleep
In this sweet hamlet of the dead,
In broken sentences I read
The record those old tablets keep.
Each told its tale, for hath not Grief
A voice whose echoes mover die!
Adown the ages Rachels cry,
Still rings DER some God -garnered sheaf.
Mine eyes, meier prodigal Of tears,
Did I'LL with such as seemed to rise
And drown the glory of the skies,

New Diphtheria Cure.

In new antiseptic termed creolin.
a product OF coal tar obtained in Ger
many by patent process, humanity
seems destained to find measurable
protection against the dread diph-
liberia. A leading physician OF Ger
many has by repeated experiments
demonstrated that it is an extremely
powerful germicide which even in
large doses is entirely harmless to
man. Thus far in the treatment OF
diphtheria adults only have had the
benefit OF the powerful germicides
used by physicians in combating the
disease, because the medicine could De
used as a gargle only on account OF Its
higly poisonous nature, and children
could not be depended upon to use
the medicine without swallowing II.
With creolin there will be no fear OF
injury. and its free use by chill
dren may be the means Of saving
many lives.
A Louisville physician who has used
creolin in the treatment OF diphtherla
expresses himself as satisfied that the
new antiseptic is preventative us

American, he says: when diphtheria
