up the woman who for eighteen years
had been bent almost double with the
rheumatism. into graceful stature, and
who turned the scabs Of leprosy into rubi-

numbness out Of paralysis, and who swung
wide open the closed windows OF heredi-

morning light came streaming through
the fleshly easements. and who knows all
the diseases and all the remedies, and all
the herbs. and all the catholicOns, and is
monarch Of pharmacy and therapeutics,
and who has sent out ten thousand doc

but to prove that they are angels OF mercy,

bored almost to death with extraordinary
people. They take all their time TO tell
us how very extraordinary they really are.
You know s well as / do, my brother and
sister, that the most of the useful work
OF the world is done by unpretentious peo-
pie who toll right only people who do
not get much approval, and no one seems
to say, that Is well done Phenomena

trust the smallest planet that swings on
its orbit than ten comets shooting this way

steady illumination better is a lamp than

Conspicuous peOple-how they have to
take it, How they are misrepresented,
and abused, and shot at! The higher the
horns Of a roebuck the easier to track him
down. What a delicious thing it must be
to be a candidate for president Of the
United States. 1t must be so soothing 20
the nerves! II must pour into the soul
of a candidate such a sense of serenity
when he reads the blessed newspapers!
/ came into the possession Of the abusive
cartoons in the time of Napoleon l., print
ed while he was yet alive. The retreat of
the army from Moscow, that army buried
in the SHOWS of Russia, one Of the most
awful tragedies of the centuries, repre-
scented under the figure of a monster called
Gen. Frost shaving the French emperor
with a razor of iclcle. As Satyr and Beel-
zebub he is represented, page after page,
page after page. England cursng him,
Spain cursing him, Germany cursing him,
Russia cursing him, Europe cursing him,
North and South America cursing him.
The most remarkable man of his day, and
the most abused. All those men in history
who now have a halo around their name,
on earth wore crown of thorns Take
the few extraordinary railroad men of our
time, and see what abuse comes upon
them, while thousands of stockholders es-
cape. All the world took after Thomas
Scott, president of the Pennsylvania rail-
road, abused him until he got under the
ground. Thousands Of stockholders in that
company. All the Blame on one man! The
Central Pacific railroad-two or three men
get all the blame If anything goes wrong.
There are 10000 in that company.

Is not so severe on the plain as 1t is on
the high peaks. The world never for
gives man who knows, or gains, or does
more than It can know or gain. or do. Pa
rents sometimes give confectionery to
their children as an inducement to take
bitter medicine, and the worlds sugar
plum precedes the worlds aqua-fortis.
The mob cried in regard to Christ Cru
city him cruelty him!" and they had to
say 1t twice to be understood. for they
were so hoarse, and they got their hoarse-
ness by crying little while before at the
top of their voice "Hosanna!' The river

perity crystalline and came out terribly
riled. If. therefore, you feel that you
are ordinary thank God for the defences
and the tranquility of your position.
Then remember if you have only what
is called an ordinary home, that the great
deliverers of the world have all come from
such a home And there may be seated,
reading at your evening stand, a child
who shall be potent for the ages just
unroll the scroll of men mighty in Church
and State, and you will find they nearly
all came from log cabin or poor homes.
Genius almost always runs out in the
third OF fourth generation. You cannot
find in all history an instance where the
fourth generation of extraordinary peo-
pie amount TO anything. Columbus from
a viewers hut, Demosthenes from cut
lers cellar Bloomfield and Missionary
Carey from a shoemaker's bench, Ark
wright from a BARRIERS shop. and He,
whose name is high over all in earth, and
air, and sky, from a manger.
Let us all be content with such things as
we have. God is just as good in what he
keeps away from us as in what he gives
us. Even a knot may be useful if It is at
the end of n thread.
At an anniversary of deaf and dumb
asylum one of the children wrote upon the
blackboard words as sublime as the Had,
the Odyssey and the "Divina Commedia"
all compressed in one paragraph. The eX-
aminer, in the signs of the mute language,
asked her, "Who made the world?" The
deaf and dumb girl wrote upon the black
board, In the beginning God created the
heaven and the EARTH The examiner
asked her For what purpose did Christ
come into the world?" The deaf and dumb
girl wrote upon the blackboard, This is a
faithful saying and worthy of all accepta-
ton, that Christ Jesus came into the world
to save sinners" The examiner said TO
her, why were you born deaf and dumb,
while hear and speak?'' She wrote upon
the blackboard, Even so, Father; for so
1t seemeth good in thy sight" Oh, that
we might be baptized with a contented
