WHEN THE FROST COMES.

Mellow the grapes are
Purple as gloomings that fee;
Yellow the corn in the husk,
And scarlet the haws in the tree.
Wide winged the geese go
Swift and crying and crossing the stars,
Forseeing the snow, 3
The hoar-frost lies white ON the bars.
This is the royal time;
The cartridges out of their covers;
Each morning rhyme,
And the sur and the hill are as lovers.
The cattle in stall;
The pastures forsaken and lone;
Fire-light in the hall,
And the thistle seeds whithered and
blown.
The last turrow turned,
With the great moon watching all white
The oxen can rest now,
For the ponds will be frozen tonight.

LORENZO DOW.

This eccentric American divine, on
one occasion delivered a sermon at
Charleston, S. O., in which he at.
tackled with some severity, the char
acter OF citizen who had died, as
he alleged in consequence of his
vices. Far this he was prosecuted
by the relatives Of the deceased, and
he was sentenced TO small fine and
short imprisonment. The govern.
or of the state, however, pardoned
him, and paid the fine himself.
The next Sunday, Lorenzo preach.
ed to crowded house, commencing
as follows:
'There was, as we learn from the
New Testament, a certain rich man,
who lived, | think, at Jerusalem and
his name was Dives. He was clad
in the robes of purple and linen, and
Jared sumptuously every day, that
is, he lived high, or what might be
called dissipated. Now, there was
also, l think, in Jerusalem, certain
beggar named Lazarus, who asked
to be fed only with crumbs that fell
from the rich mans table. He lay
down at the gate of the palace, but
the rich man would not hear him,
but set the dogs on him. So this
poor beggar died, and then his sor-
rows ended, for he was carried by
angels to Abraham's bosom. Yes,
Lazarus, went up aloft, his spirit
scared to Heaven, where all good
men will go when they die. But,
my brethren, you will ask, what be-
came of Dives, the rich manY Why,
my friends, after while he died al
so; and / don't know but what he
died dunk. / will not, however,
say SO positively, for / don't know,
but be has some relations among
those who now hear me, and / may

acter.

international Sunday School Lesson for
November IS. 1898.

Subject, "The Assyrian Invasion"
2 Kings IS: 90 81. Read the whole
Chapter. Golden Text, "God is
our refuge and strength, a very pres
ent help in trouble" Psalm 46: /.
Sennacherib, king of Assyria, in
vaded Judah with his army and
thought to win the land for himself.
Then Hezekish, king of Judah, cut
of the water supply, built deieDces,
repaired Milo, made implements of
war, raised an army, and said to his
people, BE strong and courageous,
be not afraid for the king of Assy-
ria, for with him is an arm OF flesh;
but with as is the Lord our God to
help US and to fight our battles.
And the people rested on his words.
Then Senpacherib blasphemed
against the Holy One of Israel, and
threatened the Lords people saying,
"Where, are the gods that shall de-
liver?" But the people did not an
swer him, for they were so com.
manded. And he wrote letters to
rail on the Lord God of Israel, and,
to speak against him, saying, "Who
shall deliver this city out of mine
hand?" And Isaiah the prophet
sent word to Hezekiah from the
Lord, "Be not afraid of the words
which thou hast heard, with which
the servants of the king Of Assyria
have blasphemed Me.n
Then Hezekiah prayed and cried
to Heaven, 'sLord, bow down thine
ear, and hear; open Lord Thine eyes
and see; and hear the words of SEN
nacherib, which has sent him to re-
proach the living God. Save
Thou us out of his hand, that all the
kingdoms of the earth may know
that Thou art the Lord God, even
Thou only"
And God heard the prayer and
sent word to Hezekiah concerning
Sennacherib, saying, "The virgin
the daughter of Zion hath despised
thee, and laughed thee to scorn, the
daughter of Jerusalem hath shaken
her head at thee. Thou exalted
thy voice and lifted up thine eyes
on high, even against the Holy One
of Israel"
And that night the angel OF the
Lord smote in the camp of the As
syrians hundred and eighty five
thousand soldiers, and when the
Lords people rose up early in the
morning, behold they were all dead
corpses.
The Psalm containing the Golden
Text is one for these troubled times
and the same words on which Heze-
kiah rested, we may depend, "Be
still, and know that / am God, /
will be exalted in the earth.'
In those days Hezekiah was sick
unto death, and he prayed unto the
Lord and wept sore. And the Lord
sent him word, 81 have heard thy
prayer, have seen thy tears, behold
l will add unto thy days fifteen
years. And l will deliver thee and
this city out Of the hands of the king
of Assyria; and will defend this
city," And he give him this sign
that it should be so; the shadow on
the sun dial went back ten degrees.
Hezekiah wrote the song of thanks
giving with these words: "Himself
hath done it. Thou hast cast all
my sins behind Thy back. \. The
living, he shall praise Thee, as / do
this day." And we read of Jesus,
Prophet, Priest and King, "Where-
fore He is able also TO save them to
the uttermost that come unto God
by Him, seeing He ever liveth to
make intercession for them.'

SCROFULA
Il is Foul Blood's Advertise
ment
But II is Soon Cured by Hoods
SarsapariIla.

Yes, Scrofula, II anything, may be called
the advertisement of foul blood. II is the
scourge of the world 49, offensive, painful,
facilitating, stubborn and well nigh
uncomfortable.
Outward applications do not cure, they
only drive the difficulty to new quarters.
Emollients may palliate, they cannot
abolish the evil. There is but one sure
way out, and that is to eliminate the
faint from the blood.
There is one remedy that can effect this,
and it is the only one that, 80 far as we
know, has almost invariably succeeded
even where the system has been poisoned
by long years of faint, and the ravages to
be repaired are tremendous. That remedy
is Hoods Sarsaparilla. Read this:
"My daughter was afflicted with I'M
pure blood. There were running sores
all over her body and they caused her
much suffering. We tried medicines thas
were recommended as blood purifiers
but could not see that they did any good,
A friend told me about Hoods Sarsapa-
rilla and began giving the girl this med
icine. The result was that she was per-
fectly cured after taking a few bottles.
She has had no symptoms of scrofula
sores since that time" MARIETTA M,

mittee were of the opinion that a con-
tinuance of this practice in the Chi

adopted and bill passed second read
ing.
The same committee reported favor
ably on House Bill No. 20, relating to

the Government, under the control
and management of private cemetery
associations, under the supervision of
the Minister of the Interior. The re-
port was adopted and the bill passed
second reading.
The same committee also recommen-
ed the passage of House Bill No. 70,

A JALAPA FUNERAL.
However Poor the Family. There Is
Always Band That Plays the
Washington Post March.

\ funeral among the poor in Jalapa.
Mexico. is Sight long to be remem-
bered. First come the coffin bearers,
carrying the stained pine box on their
shoulders. for there isn't a hearse or
even i carriage IN the whole city of
Jalapa. The coffin is gaudily decorated
with long streamers of black muslin,
and with ornaments that a child of
this country would associate with
Christmas trees. Behind follow the
mourners, a motley crowd, shoeless.
and often hatless. But however poor
or miserable, they always liven things
up with music. There is always band,
and it always plays the Washington
Post" march
When the grave is reached the mourn
ers seat themselves comfortably, and
man, woman and child proceed TO light
up cigars or cigarettes. While they
smoke and chat the carpenter Che does
not usually deserve the name of under
taker) carefully removes from the
coffin all the streamers and ornaments.
Sometimes even the body is removed
ard buried alone in cases where the
family of the dead is too poor to do more
than hire coffin. Most carpenters
keep on hand stock of boxes for just
such occasions. Finally, when the
burial service is ended, the mourners
throw away their cigars, form in line,
and march back to the city. while the
band continues TO play the Washing
.,r Post"
