J j.?Taking the exciting story of Samson's fall as a suggestion. Dr. Take.age in this discourse shows how giants in bonv and mind or | soul ought to bo const orated to good and great purposes. His te\r is Judges xiv, 1. "And rsmison went down to'finiuath." There are two sides to the character of Samson. The one phase of His life, if followed iuto the particulars, would administer to the grotesque and mirthful, but there is u phase of his character fraught with lessens of solemn and eternal import. To these graver lcss"us we devote or.r sermon. This giant no doubt u in early life gave t vi deuces of what he was to be. Jr is almost always so. There were two Napoleons?the h?.v Napoleon and .the man Nap<riren?but both alike; two Howards?the bey Howard and the man Howard?but both alike: two damsons?the bo.- Samson and tinman Samson?but 1 <jih alike. I'll i>giaut was no doubt the hero of the playground, and nothing could stattd before his exhibitions of youthful prowess. At JS years of age ho was betrothed to the daughter of a Philistine, (bringdown toward Timnath, a lion came upon him. and, although this young giant wa*weaponhs'R. he seized the monster by the long mane and shook him as a nungiy hound shakes a March hare and juado his bones crack and left hint by the wayside l>b ?djng under tlse smiting of his list and the grinding heft of his heel. Tin-re he stands, looming up above other men, a mountain of tlcsb. his arms bunched with muscle that can lift the gate of a city, taking an attitude defiant of everything. I lis hair had never been ' cut, and ic rolled down in seven great plaits over his shoulders, adding to his bulk ficrcem ss and terror The Philistines want to compter him. and therefore they must find out win. re the s? er?lt of his strength lit s. The Treacherous Delilah. There is ;i ciis-olute woman living in the valley cf Horck <st" the mum- of J)elilah. They appoint }i? r the agent in the case. The Philistines are secret ?-il in the same building. and then Delilah goes to work ami coax* > t-amson t<> tell what is the secret cf his strength. "Well," he says, "if you should take sev* n green withes, such as they fasten wild la-asts with, ami put them areuml me I should be perfectly powerless." So she binds him with the seven gm n withes. Tie n she claps her hands ami says, "They come?the Philistines!" And he walks out as though they w* re n?> impedum nr. j the coaxes him again ami s;?\s. "New | tell me the secret cf 1 hi.* ;;r? at sir* ngih." ! Ami ho replies, "It' yen should take! some repes that have m-v* r 1-mh used i ami tie mo v* iili them. 1 should he just- [ like other men."

But after awhile site j < rstaub <1 him J to tell the truth, lie says, "if voti j should take a razor or shears ami cut off j this long liair, 1 should i ? pew*: less ami ' in the hands of my eti-mies." Samson j sleeps, and that &he may not wake him j up during the process of shearing help ; is called in. V* n know that the barbel's | of the cast have such a skillful way of manipulating the head to this very day i that instead of waking up a sleeping j man they will put a man wide awake j sound asleep. 1 hear the t hah > < f the ! shears grinding against each other. ihI j I see the long locks fallmg "IT.

It is found in that impure blood which is continually feeding the nerves upon refuse instead of the elements of strength and vigor. In such condition opiate and nerve compounds simply deaden and do not cure. Hood's Sarsaparilla feeds the nerves pure, rich, red blood: gives natural sleep, perfect digestion, is the true remedy for all nervous troubles.
