ing angel struck the blow and Israel
was free. And God knows just the
hour when it is time to lead you up
from earthly bondage. By His grace
make not the worst of things, but the
best of them. II you must take the
pills do not chew them. Your ever
lasting rewards will accord with your
earthly perturbations, just as Caius
gave to Agrippa a chain Of gold as
heavy as had been his chain Of iron.
For your asking you may have the
same grace that was given to the
italian martyr, Algerius, who, down In
the darkest of dungeons, dated his let
ter from ''the delectable orchard of tho
Leonine prison"
And remember that this brief life Of
ours is surrounded by rim, very
thin but very important rim, and close
up to that rim is great eternity, and
you had better keep out of it until God
breaks that rim and separates this from
that. To get rid of the sorrows Of
earth, do not rush into greater sorrows.
To get rid of a swarm of summer in
sects, leap not into jungle of Bengal
tigers. There is a sorrowless world,
and it is so radiant that the MONDAY
sun is only the lowest doorstep and the
aurora that lights up our northern
heavens, confounding astronomers as
to what it can be, is the waving Of
the banners of the procession come to
take the conquerors home from church
militant to church triumphant, and
you and have ten thousand reasons
for wanting to go there, but we will
never get there either by self-immola-
tion or impenitency. All our sins slain
by the Christ who came to do that
thing, we want to go in at just the time
divinely arranged, and from a couch
divinely spread, and then the clang Of
the sepulchral gates behind us will be
overpowered by the clang of the open
ing of the solid pearl before us. o God,
whatever others may choose, give me a
Christians life, Christians death, a
Christians burial, Christians immor-

Dogs Don't BaY the Moon.

"Why do dogs bark so frequently on
bright moonlight nights like these?"
was asked of the night watchman in
Laurel Hill cemetery by an uptown
man annoyed by the howlings of
numerous canine pets. The watchman,
who is accompanied in his lonely
rounds by an intelligent terrier, whose
peculiarities he has long closely OBJ
served, declared that the ancient no.
tion that dogs "bayed at the moon"
vas erroneous. cit is not the moon,'
,aid he, ''but the quick-moving shad-
ows cast by trees and other swaying
objects on windy or gusty night that
alarms them. On nights when the sky
cloudless and the atmosphere still,
though the moon be at its full, there is
little or no barking heard. ."-Philadel-

A cup or black coffee will destroy the
fumes of the malodorous onion. The fad
of having peppermints and wintergreen
cream candies on the table have method
in its madness, as one of these will de-
stroy the odor left by wine. 1t would be
quite safe to use as mouth wash and gar
gle after each meal a glass OF water in
which has been put few drops each
of camphor and myrrh. A bit of
orris root might be carried in the mascu-
line pocket for use when necessary, for it,
as we'll as stick cinnamon or ginger. will
disguise unpleasant odors. In some cases.
however, the ''ounce of prevention"
would render resort to these disguises
unnecessary. Henry Ward Beecher once
Enthusiastically said: "There is no

THE CIVIL WAR.
Increasing Demand for the Serial-The
First Twelve Ready.


a few weeks ago the RECORD UNION
made arrangements with the publishers
of "Harper's Pictorial History of the
Civil War;" whereby its subscribers
might purchase each part of the series of
twenty-six mum bers at eight cents per
part. Many hundreds of the numbers
have been purchased by subscribers, and
the remarkably low price at which the
publication is sold has become a matter
Of general comment.
The history is an excellent one, very
accurate, and written by the foremost
historians of late years. 1t is very freely
illustrated, and detailed story of the war
is told in most Interesting style. The
REooRD-UNIoN might have sold these
parts at figure considerably in advance
of eight cents and thereby reaped a rich
profit on the sales, but it entered into the
matter solely for the benefit of its sub
scribers, and is offering each part at exact
cost-eight cents.
The first twelve Of these parts have ar
rived and can be seen or purchased at
