II there is any truth in the saying
that happiness is the absence OF all
pain, mental and physical. the enjoy
ment Of it can only be found in hea-
ven. But so far as the physical is con-
cerned, it is within easy reach; at
least m%easurably so, as far as cure will
go. The sum Of human misery In this
line is made up Of greater or less de-
grees of physical suffering. The minor
aches and pains which afiict mankind
are easy to reach and as easily cured.
There are none in the whole category,
which, II taken in time, cannot be
cured. They must In some form af-
fict the nerves, the bones, the muscles
and joints Of the human body. They

After Forty Years,
BY D. H. TALMAGE.

Copyright. 1901, by Daily story Pub. Coz
There died not long ago in a GER
tain home for soldiers a certain man
who shall here be nameless. He died
In his bed at night, with none watch
ing beside him. He left no word. He
did not struggle. So nearly did the
death calm resting upon him resemble
the slumber of life that one Of his com
rades, a Jest upon his lips, shook him
by the shoulder in the morning. And
then the word went forth that another
worn and weary one had passed
through the Valley Of the Shadow with
out suffering, and silently the prayer
went up, 20 Lord, will that as he was
taken so also may It be with us"
They buried him with military hon
ors, and then wrote to his mother an
nouncing briefly the facts. They gave
no details. And presently a letter writ
ten by the faltering hand Of age was
received.
Tell me, please" 1t said, how my
boy died, and let me know what be-
longings he had"
The answer was necessarily short
there was so little to tell. He had been
buried In his only suit Of clothes
There was a sum Of money, amounting
to thirty-six dollars, in a tin box be-
meath his hunk. In his valise were two
shirts, a suit of underwear, two pairs
Of socks and one brown cotton glove,

The official making the inventory
contemplated the glove somewhat GU

%happened7"
He continued to wonder for several
days. Then the matter was explained
to him.
A woman, leading by the hand a
child, appeared in the commandments
office, seeking information regarding
the departed soldier. She was not a
relative. Neither was she a friend
at least she had not been a friend. She
had known him in his youth. She had
seen him march away to the war. She
had not seen him since.
The official questioned her guarded
ly, and learned largely by inference,
from her replies that the soldier had
been her lover, but that his idea OF
loyalty had not been her idea Of 10y
atty. They had lived in the borderland
between the North and the South. Her
father and her brother and another
man had gone out to battle for the
South, while this man had remained
faithful to the old flag. She had given
him to understand plainly that he must
choose between the flag and her. And
he had chosen with maddening prompt
ness.
The other man had returned from
the war, and she had married him. He
was sadly crippled, and her pity went
out to him, masquerading as love. That
was years ago. Her life had not been
