Before I was twenty I suffered almost continually?as a result of constipation?from dyspepsia, headaches, neuralgia, or boils and other eruptive diseases. "When I became convinced I that nine-tenths of my troubles were v caused by constipation, I began the use of Ayer's Pills, with the most satisfactory results, never having a single attack that did not readily yield to this remedy. My wife, who had been an invalid for years, also began to use Ayer's Pills, and her health was quickly restored. With iny children I had noticed that nearly all their ailments were k j preceded by constipation, and I soon had the pleasure of knowing that with children as with parents, Ayer's Pills, if taken in season, avert all danger of sickness."?H.

It Appears That People Used to Go to the Theater In the Days of Job ? A Unique Peroration Vindicating Shakespearo of Infidelity. Washington, May 24.?Rev. Dr. Talmage in this discourse sets forth the causes of failure in life, drawing on a Biblical reference to the theater for startling illustration. His text was Job xxvii, 23, "Men shall clap their hands at him and shall hiss him out of his place." This allusion seems to be dramatic. The Bible more than once makes such allusions. Paul says, "Wo are made a theater or spectacle to angels and to men." It is evident from the text that Some of the habits of theater goers were I known in Job's time, because he def Y scribes an actor hissed off the stage. The impersonator comes on the boards and, either through lack of study of the part he is to takeror inaptness or other . incapacity, the audience is offended and expresses its disapprobation and disgust .v? "Mon cV-r.ll ^>lnn their hands VJ uuu?* ~ at him and shall hiss him out of his place." The Actors of Life. My text suggests that each one of us is put on the stage of this world to takes some part. What hardship and suffering and discipline great actors have undergone year after year that they might be perfected in their parts you have often read. But we, put on the stage of this life to represent charity and faith and humility and helpfulness?what little preparation we have made, although we ^ have three galleries of spectators, earth and heaven and hell! Have we not been more attentive to the part taken by others than to the part taken by ourselves, and, while vfe needed to bo looking at home and concentrating .on our own duty, we have been criticising the other performers, and saying, "that was too high," or "too low," or "too feeble," or "too extravagant," or "too tame," or "too demonstrative," while we ourselves were making a dead failure and preparing to be ignominicusly hissed off the stage? Each one is assigned a place, no supernumeraries hanging around the drama of life to take this or that or the t- ? other part, as they may be called upon. No one can take our place. We can take no other place. Neither can we put off our character; no change of apparel can make us any one else than that which 1 we eternally are. Many make a failure of their part in f the drama of lifo through dissipation. > They have enough intellectual equipment and good address and geniality unbounded. But they have a wine closetthat contains all the forces for their social and business and moral overthrow. So far back as the year 959, King Edgar of England made a law that the drinking cups should have pins fastened at a r V certain point in the side, po that the indulger might be reminded to stop before he got to the bottom. But there are no pins projecting from the sides of tko modern wine cup or beer mug, and the first point at which millions step is at J the gravity bottom of their own grave. Dr. Sax of France has discovered some - * * thing whicn ail arniKeraougm, He has found out that alcohol in every f - shape, whether of wine or brandy or beer, contains parasitic life called bacillus po turn anise. By a powerful microscope these living things are discovered, and when you taku strong drink you take them into the stomach and then i into your blood, and, getting into the crimson canals of life, they go into every tissue of your body, and your entire organism is taken possession of by these noxious infinitesimals. When in delirium tremens, a man sees every form of reptilian life, it seems it is only these parasites of the brain in exaggerated size. It is not a hallucination that the victim is suffering from. He only sees in the room what is actually crawling ? and rioting in his own brain. Every t time you take strong drink you swallow | these maggots, and every time the imbiber of alcohol in any shape feels vertigo or rheumatism or nausea it is only the jubilee of these maggots. Efforts are being made for the discovery of some germicide that can kill the parasites of alcoholism, but the only thing that will ever extirpate them is abstinence from i alcohol and teetotal abstinence, to ^ A which I would before God swear all these votwg ujen aad oli ! Dangers of Strong Drink. America is a fruitful country, and we raise large crops of wheat and corn and oats, but the largest crop we raise in this country is the crop of drunkards. With sickle made out of the sharp edges of the broken glass of bottle and demijohn they are cut down, and there are whole swathes of them, whole windrows of them, and it takes all the hospitals and penitentiaries and graveyards and cemeteries to hold this harvest of hell. Some of you are going down under this evil, and the never dying worm of alcoholism has wound around you one of its coils, and by next New Year's day it will have another coil around you, and it will after awhile put a coil around your tongue, and a ooil around your brain, and a coil around your lung, and a coil around your foot, and a coil around your heart, and some day this never dying worm will with one spring tighten all the coils at once, and in the last twist of that awful convolution you will cry out, "Oh, my God!" and be gone. The greatest of dramatists in the tragedy of "The Tempest" sends staggering across the stage Stephano, the , drunken butler; but across the stage oi human life strong drink sends kingly and queenly and princely natures staggering forward against the footlights of conspicuity and then staggering back into failure till the world is impatient for their disappearance, and human and diabolic voices join in hissing them off the stage. Many also make a failure in the drama of life through indolence. They are always making calculations how little they can do for the compensations they get There are more lazy ministers, lawyers, doctors, merchants, artists and farmers than have ever been counted upon. The community is full of laggards and shirkers. I can tell it from the way they crawl along the street, from their tardiness in meeting engagements, from the lethargies that 6eem to hang to the foot when they lift it, to the hand when they put it out, to the words when they speak. Out of Place. > Two young men in a store. In the morning the one goes to his post the last minute or one minute behind. The other is ten minutes before the time and has his hat and coat hung up and is at his post waiting for duty. The one is ever and anon in the afternoon looking at his watch to see if it is not most time to shut up. The other stays half an hour after he might go. and when asked why, says he wanted to look over some entries he had made to be sure ho was right, or to put up some goods that had been left out of place. The one is very touchy about doing work not exactly belonging to iiira. ine otner is giau iu help^the other clerks in their work. The first will be a prolonged nothing, and he will be poorer at 60 years of age than at 20. The other will be a merchant prince. Indolence is the cause of more failures in all occupations than you have ever suspected. People are too lazy to do what they can do, and want to undertake that which they cannot do. In the drama of life they don't want to be a oommon soldier, carrying a halberd across the stage, or a falconer, or a mere attendant, and so they lounge about the scenes till they shall be called to be something great. After awhile, by some accident of prosperity or circumstances, they get into the place for which they have no qualification. And very soon, if the man be a merchant, he is going around asking his creditors to compromise for 10 cents on the dollar. Or, if a clergyman, he is making tirades against the ingratitude of churches. Or. if an attorney, by unskillful management he loses a case by which widows and orphans are robbed of their portion. Or, if a physician, he by malpractice gives his patient rapid transit from this j world to the next. Our incompetent friend would have made a passable ; horse doctor, but he wanted to be proi fessor of anatomy in a university. He could have sold enough confectionery to have supported his family, but he wanted to have a sugar refinery like the Havemeyers. He could have mended ! shoes, but he wanted to amend the constitution of the United States. Toward the end of life these people are out of patience, out of money, out of friends, out of everything. They go to the poor house, or keep out of it by running in debt to all the grocery and dry goods ! stores that will trust them. People bej gin to wonder when the curtain will j drop on the scone. After awhile, leav! ing nothing but their compliments to I pay doctor, undertaker, and Gabriel Grnbb, the gravedigger, they disapj pear. Exeunt! Hissed off the stage. A Moral Nuisance. Others fail in the drama of life through demonstrated selfishness. They make all the rivers empty into their sea, all the roads cf emolument end at their door, and they gather all the plumes of honor for their brow. They j help no one, encourage on one, rescue no one. "How big a pile of money can I get?" and "How much of the world can I absorb?" are the chief questions. They feel about the common people as the Turks felt toward the Asapi, or common soldiers, considering them of ?:o use except to fill up the ditches with their dead bodies while the other troops walked over them to take the fort. After awhile this prince of worldly success is sick. The only interest society has in his iJluess is the effect that his possible decease may have on the money markets. After awhile he dies. Great newsuaner canitals announce how he started with nothing and ended with everything. Although for sake of appearance some people put handkerchiefs to the eye, there is not one genuine tear shed. The heirs sit up all night when he lies in state, discussing what the old fellow has probably done with his money. It takes all the livery stables within two miles to furnish funeral equipages, and Condensed Testimony. Chas. B. Hood, Broker and Manufacturer's Agent, Columbus, Ohio, certifies that Dr. King's New Discovery has no equal as a Cough remedy. J. D. Brown, Prop. St. James Hotel, Ft. Wayne, Ind., testifies that he was cured of a Cough | of two years standing, caused by La Grippe, by Dr. King's New Discovery. B. F. Merrill, Baldwinsville, Mass., says that he has'used and recommended it and never knew it to fail and would rather have it than any doctor, because it always cures. Mrs. Hemming, 222 E. 25th St., Chicago, always keeps it at hand and has no fear of Croup, because it instantly relieves. Free Trials Bottles at J. E. Kauffman's Drug Store. Deafness Cannot be Cured. By local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure Deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets inflamed you fcotra a rnmhlinnr fiOUTld or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed Deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces. We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars, free. all the mourning stores are kept busy in selling weeds of grief. The stone cutters send in proposals for a monument. The minister at the obsequies reads of the resurrection, which makes the hearers fear that if the unscrupulous financier does come up in the general rising, he will try to get a "corner" on tombstones and graveyard fences. All good men are glad that the moral nuisance has been removed. Tho Wall street speculators are glad because there is more room for themselves. The heirs are glad because they get possession of the long delayed inheritance. Dropping every feather of all his plumes, every certificate of all his stock, every bond of all his investments, every dollar of all his fortune, he departs, and all the rolling of "Dead March" in " Saul," and all the pageantry of his interment, and all the exquisiteness of sarcophagus, and all the extravagance of epitaphology, cannot hide tho fact that my text has come again to tremendous fulfillment, "Men shall clap their hands at him and shall hiss him out of his place." You see the clapping comes before the hiss. The world cheers before it damns. So it is said the deadly asp tickles before it stings. Going up, is he? Hurrah! Stand back and let his galloping horses dash by, a whirlwind of plated harness and tinkling headgear and arched neck. Drink deep of his madeira and cognac. Boast of how well you know him. All hats off as he passes. Bask for days and years in the sunlight of his prosperity. Going down, is he? Pretend to be nearsighted so that you cannot see him as he walks past. When men ask vcu if you know him, halt and hesitate . as though you were trying to call up a dim memory and say, "Well, y-e-s, yes, I believe I once did know him, but have not seen him for a long while." Cross a different ferry from the one where you used to meet him lest he ask for financial help. When yon started life, he spoke a good word for you.at the bank. Talk down his credit now that his fortunes are collapsing. He put his name on two of your notes. Tell him that you have changed your mind about such things, and that you never indorse. After awhile his matters come to a dead halt, and an assignment or suspension or sheriff's sale takes place. You say: "He ought to have stopped sooner. Just as I expected. He made too big a splash in the world. Glad the balloon has burst. Ha, ha!" Applause when he went up, sibilant derision when he came down. 4 'Men shall clap their hands at him and hiss him out of his place." So, high up amid the crags, the eagle flutters dust into the eyes of the roebuck, which then, with eyes blinded, goes tumbling over the precipice, the great antlers crashing on the rocks. Consecrated to God. Now, compare some of these goings out of life with the departure of men and women who in the drama of life take the part that God assigned them and then went away honored of men and applauded of the Lord Almighty. It is about 60 years ago that in a comparatively small apartment of the city a newly married pair set up a home. The first guest invited to that residence was the Lord Jesus Christ, and the Bi. ble given the bride on the day of her espousal was the guide of that household. Days of sunshine were followed by days of shadow. Did you ever know a home that for oO years had no vicisI situde? The young woman who left her ! father's house for her young husband's home started out with a parental benediction and good advice she will never forget. Her mother said to her the day before the marriage: "Now, my child, you are going away from us. Of course, as Ion# as your father and I live you will feel that you can come to us at any time. But your home will be elsewhere. From long experience I find it is best to serve God. It is very bright with you now, my child, and you may think you can get- along without religion, but the day will come when you will want God, and my advice is, establish a family altar, and, if need be, conduct the worship yourself." The counsel was taken, and that young wife consecrated every room m tne nouse to uoa. Years passed on and there were in that home hilarities, but they were good and healthful, and sorrows, but they were comforted. Marriages as bright as orange blossoms could make them, and burials in which all hearts were riven. They have a family lot in the cemetery, but all the place is illuminated with stories of resurrection and reunion. The children of the household that lived have grown up, and they are all Christians, the father and mother leading the way and the children following. What care the mother took of wardrobe and education, character and manners! How hard she sometimes worked! When the head of the household was unfortunate in business, she sewed until her fingers were numb and bleeding at the tips. And what close calculation of economies and what ingenuity in refitting the garments of the elder children for the younger, and only God kept account of that mother's sideaches and headaches and heartaches and the tremulous prayers by the side of the sick child's cradle and by the couch of this one fully grown. The neighbors often noticed how tired she looked, and old acquaintances hardlv knew her in the street. But without complaint she waited and toiled and endured and accomplished all these years. The children are out in the world?an honor to themselves and their parents. After awhile the mother's last sickness comes. Children and grandchildren, summoned from afar, come softly into the room one by one, for she if too weak to see more than one at a time. She runs her, dying _fisgera lovingly through their hair and tolls them not" to cry, and that she is going now, hut they will meet again in a little while in a better world, and then kisses them goodby and says to each, "God bless and keep you, my dear child. " The day of the obsequies comes, and the officiating clergyman tells the story of wifely iuid motherly endurance, and many I hearts on earth and in heaven echo the sentiment, and as she is carried off the stage of this mortal life there are cries of "Faithful unto death," "Sho hath done-what she could," while overpow- J ering all the voices of earth and heaven is the plaudit of the God who watched j her from first to last, saying, "Well ' done, good and faithful servant; thou i hast been faithful over a few things, I ' will make thee ruler over many things; j enter thou into the joy of thy Lord!" The Choice. But what became of the father of that household?

He is old now and realizes I it cannot be long before he must quit l all these scenes. But he is going to ! leave his children an inheritance of ! prayer and Christian principles which all the defalcations of earth can never touch,.and as he goes out of the world the church of God blesses him and the poor ring his doorbell to see if he is any better, and his grave is surrounded by a multitude who went on foot and stood there before the procession of carriages came up, and some say, "There will be no one to take his place," and others say, "Who will pity me now?" and others remark, "He shall be held in everlasting Tcmeinbrance.'' And as the drama of his life closes, all the vociferation and bravos and encores that ever shook the amphitheaters of earthly spectacle were tame and feeble compared ! with the long, loud thunders of approval j : that shall break from the cloud of wit- j nesses in the piled up gallery of the j heavens. Choose ye between the life that | shall close by being hissed off the stage j and the life that shall close amid ac- ! clamations supernal and archangel ic. Oh, men and women on the stage of life, many of you in the first act of the drama, and others in tho second, and some of you in tho third, and a few in tho fourth, and here and there one in the fifth, but all of you between entrance and exit, I quote to you as the peroration of this sermon the most suggestive passage that Shakespeare ever wrote, although you never heard it recited. The author has often been claimed as infidel and atheistic, so the quotation shall be not only religiously helDful to ourselves, but grandly vindi catory of the great dramatist. I quote from his last will arid testament: "In the name of God, Amen. I, William Shakespeare of Stratford-uponAvon, in the county of Warwick, gentleman, in perfect health and memory (God be praised), do make this my last will and testament, in manner and form following: First, I commend my soul into the hands of God, my Creator, hoping and assuredly believing through tho only merits of Jesus Christ, my Saviour, i to be made partaker of life everlast- j ing." Forced the Artist to Work. The famous Japanese painter, Kyosai, worked only when he was in the mood, ! and the most munificent offers failed to J induce hhn to accept a commission unless the spirit moved him. One of his admirers, Mr. Kato Shoyo of Hongo, had vainly attempted to induce the wayward artist to begin a painting for him. Kyosai would not budge. Kato there- j upon devised and put into execution a j novel plan. He bought a spurious Kake- | mono, or "hanging picture." When i next tho artist paid him a visit, this j was produced and lauded to the skies, j Kato declared that the daub was the , greatest masterpiece of Kyosai's skillful j hands. In vain the indignant painter : protested that it was a worthless coun- j terfeifc. Finally he rushed away in a rage, while Kato rubbed his hands at the success of his ruse. Confident of the result, Kato invited crvmp friomls for thfi follmvins? evenint? and related to them the device he was j employing. They waited for the advent | of Kyosai, and at last, hut not until the small hours of the morning, he appeared. He held a roll in his hand, a Kakemono, on which was depicted a falcon in the act of clutching a monkey. This he threw toward the host, at the same i time asking in an angry voice whether Kato still persisted in attributing the other picture to him. The collector, delighted with the success of his plan and with the vigor and beauty of the drawing he had now obtained, apologized to Kyosai and explained the trick. The painter's brow was quickly cleared of its dark clouds, and in turn he confessed that he had been working day and night in order to produce a picture that should vindicate his talents. ?
