Text: shall go to him."?II Samuel
xii., 23.
There is a very sick chil J in the abode of
David the King*. Disease, which stalks up
the (halt June of the ptor ani puts its
smothering hand on lip and nostril of the
wan and wasted, also mounts the palace
sta:rs and-bending over the pillow blows
into the'faee of a voting Prince the frosts
of pain and death. Tears are wine to the
King of Terrors. Alas! for David the King.
He can neither sleep nor eat, and lies prostrate
on his face, weeping and wailing until
the palace rings with the outcry of woe.
What are courtly attendants or victorious
armies or conquered provinces under such
circumstances? What, to any parent, is all
splendid surround 1115 when ins cunu is sicsr
Seven days have passed on. There iu that
great house two eyelids are gently closed,
two little hands folded, two little feet quiet,
one heart still. The servants come to bear
the tidings to the King, but they cannot
mnke up their minds to tell him, and they
stand at the door whispering about the matter,
nnd David hears them nud he looks up
and says to them: "Is the child dead':" "Yes;
ho is dead." David rouses himself
up. washes himself, puts on new apparel,
and sits down to food. What
power hashed that tempest!* "What
strength was it that lifted up that King whom
grief had dethroned? Oh, it was the thought,
that lie would come again into the possession
of that darlingchild. rfogravedigger'sspade
could hide him. The wintry blasts of death
could not put out tho bright light. There
would be a forge somewhere that with silver
hammer would weld the broken Jinks." In a
city where the hoofs of the pale horse never
strike the pavement he would clasp his lost
treasure. He wipes away the tears from his
eyes nnd he clears the choking grief from his
throat and exclaims: "I shall go to him."
Was David right or wrong? If we part
on earth will we.meet again in the next

to bo ati impossibility. Heaven is so largo
a place ve never could find our kindred
there.'' Going into some city, without having
appointed a time and place for meeting,
you might wander around for weeks and
for months, and perhaps for years, and never
see each other; and heaven is vaster than all
earthly cities together, and how are you
going to find your departed friend in that
country? It is so vast a realm. John went
r.p on one mountain of inspiration, and he
looked off upon the multitude, and he said:
"Thousands of thousands." Then he catne
upon a greater altitude of inspiration and he
looked off upon it again, and he said: "Ten
thousand times ten thousand." And then ho
came on a higher mount of inspiration, and
looked off again nnd he said: "A hundred and
forty nud four thousand and thousands of
thousands." And he came on a still greater
height of inspiration, and he looked off again
and exclaimed: "A great multitude that no
man can number."
Now I ask, how are you going to find your
friends in such a throng as that? Is not this
idea we have been entertaining after all a
falsity? Is tbis doctrine of future recognition
of friends in heaven a guess, a myth, n
whim, or is it a granitic- foundation upon
which the soul pierced of all ages may build
a glorious hope? Intense Question. Every
heart in this audience throbs right into it.
There is in every soul here the tomb of at
least one dead. Tremendous question. It
makes the lip quiver, and the cheek flush,
nnd the entirenature thrill. Shall we know
each other there? I get letters almost every
ncbinor tr*ft HicoilfiS this SIlhiecL f
get a letter in a bold, scholarly hand, on
gilt-edged paper, asking mo to discuss this
question, and I say: "Ah, that is a carious
man, and he wants a curious question solved."
But I get another letter. It is written with a
trembling hand, and on what seems to be a
torn out leaf of a book, and here and there
is the mark of a tear, and I say: "Oh, that
is a broken heart, and it wants to be comforted."
The cbiect of this sermon is to take this
theory at of the region of surmise and
speci ion into the region of positive certair
People say: "It would be very
p' ?nt if that doctrine were true. I hope
> iay be true. Perhaps it is true. I wish
were true." But I believe that I can bring
,n accumulation of argument to b?ar upon
this matter which will prove the doctrine of
future recognition as plainly as that there is
any heaven at all, an l that the kiss of reunion
at the celestial gate will be as certain
as the dying kiss at the door of the sepulcher
*
Now, when you are going to build a ship
you must get the right kind of timber. You
lay the keel nnd make the framework of the
very best materials, the Keelson, stancuions,
plank shear, counter timber-knee, transoms
alt of solid oak. You may build a . ship of
lighter material, but when the cyclone comes
on it will go down. Now we may have a
great many beautifnl theories about the future
world, built out of our own fancy, an I
they may do very well as long as we have
smooth sailing in the world, but when thj
storms of sorrow come upon us, and the hurricane
of death, we will be swamped?we will
be foundered. We waut a theory built out of
the solid oak of God's eternal Word. The doctrine
of future recognition is not so often positively
stated in the Word of God as Implied,
and you know, my friends, that that is,after
all, the strongest mode of nffirmation. Your
friend travels in foreign lands. He comes
home. He does not begin by arguing with
vou to prove that there are such places as
London and Stockholm and Paris and Dresden
and Ber.in, but his conversation implies
it. .And so this Bible does not so positively
state this theory as, all up and down, its
chapters take it forgrante i.
AN hat does my text imply? "I shall go to
him." What consolation would it be to David
to go to his child if he would not know him?
AVould David have been allowed to record
this anticipation for the inspection of all
ages if it were a groundless anticipation?
A\'e read In the first book of the Bible, Abraham
died and was gathered to his people.
Jacob died and was gathered to his people.
Moses died and was gathered to his people.
AVhat people? AVhy, their friends, thoir comrades,
their old companions. Of courso it
means that. It cannot mean anything
else. So in the very beginning of the Bible
four times that is taken for granted. The
whole New Testament is nu arlior, over
which this doctrine creeps like a luxuriant
vine full of the purple clusters of consolation.
James, John and Peter followed Ghrist into
the mountain. A light falls from heaven cn
that mountain and lifts it into the glories of
celestial, Christ's garments glow and His
face shines like the sun. The door of heaven
swings open. Two spirits oome down and
alight on that mountain. The disciples look
at them and recognize theni r.s Moses and
Enas. Now, if tho e disciples standing on
the earth coul I recognize these two spirits
who had been for years in heaven, do you
toll me that we, with our heavenly eyesight,
will not bt able to recognize those who have
gone out from among us only live, ten, twcuty.
thirty years ngo?
" Tin* Bible indicates over and over again
that the angels know each other, and then
the Bible says that we are to be higher than
the angels; and if the angels havo the power
of recognition shall not we, who are to be
higher thun they in the next realm, havo as
good eyesight and as good capacity? What
did Christ mean in His conversation with
Mary and Martha when Ho said, "Thy
brother shall rise again?" It was as much as
to say, "Don't cry. Don't wear yourself out
with this trouble. You will see Him again.
Thy brother shall rise again."
'lho Bible describes heaven as a great
home circle. Well, now, that would do a
very qu>er home circle where the members
did not know each other. Tho Bible descriocs
death as a sleep. If we know each
other be!ore we go to sleep shall we not
know each other after we wake up? Oh,
yes. We will know each other a great deal
better then than now; "for now," says the
upostle, "bve see through a glass darkly, but
then face to face." It will be my purified,
enthroned and glorified body gazing 0:1 your
purified, enthroned and glorified bod)*.
Now I demand, if you believe the Bible,
that you t ike this theory of future recognition
out of the realm of speculation and surmise
.into the region of positive certainty,
and 110 more keep saving: "I hops it is so, I
have an idea it is so, t guess it is so." Be able
to say, with all th<* concentrated energy of
body, mind and soul, "I know it is so."
There are in addition to these Bible argumcnis
other rra?o:is why I accept this
theory. In the first place because the rejcc
tiou of it implies? the entire obliteration of
our memory. Can it be possible that wo
shall forget forever those with whose walk,
look, manner we have b-e.a so long familiar?
Will death come, and with a sharp, keen
blade Uew away this faculty of meinorv!
Abraham said to Dives: "Son, remember."
If the exiled and lost remember will not the
.enthroned remember!1
v You know very well that our joy in nny
circumstance is augmented by the companionship
of our friends. AV'ocaijuot sea a pic-?
ture with less than foifr :eyes'^r hiar a song*
with less than foura6aty> JTerwant some one
beside us with wlidm to exchange glances
and sympathies, aijtl I suppose the Joy of
heaven is to be augmented by tho fact that
we are to have our friends with us when
there rise before us the thrones of the
blessed, anil when there surges up in our ears
the jubilate of tho saved. Heaven is not a
contraction; it is an expansion. If I know
you here 1 will know you better there. Here
Isejyeu with only two eyes, but there the
sotd shall have a million eyes. It will be immortality
gazing on immortality, ransomed'
spirit in colloquv with ransomed spirit, victor
beside victor. When JoinuEvans. tho Scotch
minister, was seated in his study his wife
came in and said to him: "My dear, do you
think we will know each other in heaven?"
Ho turned to her and said: "My dear, do you
think we will be bigger fools in heaven than
wo are here?" >
.Again I accept this doctrine of future re
cognition because the worms expectancy a:firms
it. In all lands and ages this theory- is
received. What form of religion planted it*
No form of religion, for it is received under
all forms of religion.. Then."I argue, a sentiment.
a feeling, an anticipation, universally
planted, must have been Hod implanted, and
if God implanted it is rightfully implanted.
Socrates writes: "Who would uot part with
a great deal to purchase a meeting with Orpheas
and Homer* If it be true that this is
to be the consequence of death I could even
bo able to die often."
Cicero, livihg before Christ's coming, said:
"Oh,glorious day when I shall retire from this
low and sordid scene to associate with the
divino assemblage of departed spirits, and
not only with the one I have just now mentioned,
but with my dear Cato, the best of
sons and.the .most faithful of men. If I
seemed to bear his death with forti'aide it
was by uo means that I did not most sonM'bly
feel the loss I had sustained. It was because
I was supported by the consoling reflection
that we could not long be separated."
c The Norwegian believes it. The Indian
b'elieves it. The Greenlander believes it.
The Swiss believes it. The Turk believes it.
Under every sky, by every river, in every
zone, the theory is adopted, and so I sav a
' principle universally implanted must be God
| implnute 1, and hence a right belief. The ar|
guinent is irresistible.
Again I adopt this theory because there
| are features of moral temperament and fentr
I ures of the soul that will distinguish us forever.
How do we know each other in this
world? Is it merely by the color of the eye,
J or the length of the hair, or the facial pro:
portions? Oh, no. It is by the disposition
I as well, by natural affinity, using the word
in the very best sense and not in the bad
sense, and if in the dust our .ho ly should
1 1 i iu fViorn Irl
Iperisu, an i ne nieri-nia-in, u.m vuy>vaKv?t.
6e no resurrection, still the soul has enough
| features and the disposition has enough features
to make us distinguishable. I cau un!
derstand how in sickness a inau will become
I so delirious that ho will not kuow his own
\ friends; but will we be blasted with such insufferable
idicicy that, standing beside our
best friends for all eternity, we will never
' guess who they are?
; "Again, I think that one reason why wo
ought to accept this doctrine is because we
never in this world have an opportunity to
give thanks to those to whom wo are spiritually
indebted. The joy of heaven, we are
told, is to be inaugurated by a review of
, life's work. These Christian men and women '
who have been toiling for Christ, have they
seen the full result of their work? Oh, no.
In tho church of Somerville, N. J., John
VredaAurgh preached for a great many
year^Wfte felt that his ministry was a failj
ure, although he was a faithful minister,
preaching the Gospel aJl the time. He died,
and died amid discouragements, and went
homo to God; for no one ever doubted that
: John Vredenburgh was a good Christian
minister. A little while after his death
there came a great awakening in Somerl
ville, and one Sabbath two hundred souls
I stood up at the Christian altar espousing tho
cause 01 jurist. among iuciu mj w>tu ia?uc>
J and mother. And what was peculiar in rej
gard to nearly all of those two hundred
souls was that they dated their religious imj
prcssions from the ministry of John Vrodenj
burgh. Will that good Christian man boi
fore the throno of Cod never meet those
j souls brought to Christ through his instrumentality?
Oh, of course he will know tham.
' I remember ouo Sabbath afternoon, borne
down with the sense of my sins, and know[
ing not God, I took up Doddridge's "Rise
j and Progress." Ob, what a dark afternoon
I it was, and I read the chapters, and I read
! the prayers, and I tried to make the prayers
j my own. Oh, I must see Philip Doddridge.
; A glorious old book ho wrote. It is out of
! fashion now.
There is a mother before the throne of
God. You say her joy is frll. Is it* You
say there can be no augment -.'.ion of it. CauI
not there be* Her son was a wanderer and a I
I vagabond on the earth when that good
moUMrifej. He broke ber old heart. She
died wPving him in the wilderness of sin.
She is before the throne of God now. Years
pass and that son repents of his crime.? and
gives his heart to God and becomes a useful
Christian, and dies and enters the gates of
heaven. You tell me that that mother's joy
cannot be augmented? Let them confront
each other. 1 he son and the mother. "Oh,'
she savs to the angles of God, "rejoice with
me. The dead is alive again, and the lost is
found. Hallelujah! I never expected to see
this lost one come back." The Bible says nations
are to bo born in a day. When China
j comes to God will it not know Dr. Abeel*
j When India comes will it not kuow Dr. John
i Scudder? When the Indians como to God
will they not know David Brainard?
I see a soul entering heaveu at last, with
covered face at the idea that it has done so
little for Christ and feeling borne down with
unworthicess. and it says to itself, "I have
no right to do hero." A voice from the
throne says: "Oh, you forget that Sundayschool
class you invited to Curist. I was one
i of them." And another voice says: "You
forget that poor man to whom you gave a
j loaf of bread and told of the heavenly oread.
I was that man." And another says: "You
forget that sick one to whom you gave medicine
for the body and the soul. I was that
one." And then Christ, from a throne overtopping
all the rest, will say : "Inasmuch as
ye did it to one of the least of tlies?, you did
j it to Me." And then the seraphs will take
j their harps from the side of the throne an I
j cry: "What song shall it be?" Aud Christ,
j bending over the harpers, shall say: "It
j shall be the 'Harvest Home.'"
One more reason why I am dispose 1 to accept
this doctrine of future recognition is
that so many in their lost hour on earth
have confirmed this theory. I speak not of
persons who have been delirious in their last
moment and knew not what they were about,
but of persons who died in calmness and
placidity and who were not naturally supei*stitious.
Often the glories of heaven have
struck the dying pillow, and the departing
man has saicl he saw and heard those who
' had cone awav from him. How often it is
! in the dying moments parents see their de1
parted children and children see their departed
parents. I camo down to the banks
j of the Mohawk River. It was evening and I
wanted to go over tne river, and so I waved
my hat and shouted, and after a while I saw
6ome one waving on the opposite bank and 1
hoard him shout, and the boat camo across
and I got in and was transported. And so I
suppose it will bo in the evening of our life.
We will comedown to the river of death ami
give a signal to our frieudson the other shore
j and they will give n signal back to us, and
j the boat comes and our departed kindred
are the oarsuien, the fires of the setting day
tingeing the tops of the paddles.
Ohv have you never sat by such a deathbed?
In that hour yon hear the departing
soul cry, "Hark! Look!" You hearkened
and you looked. A little child pining away
because of the death of its mother, getting
weaker and weaker every day. was taken
into the room where hung the picture of her
mother. She seemed to enjoy lookin gmt it,
and then she was taken away and after
awhile died. Tit the last moment that wan
and wasted little one lifted her hands, while
her face lighted up with the glory of the next
world, and cried out "Mother!" You tell
me she did not sec her mother? She did. So
in iny first settlement at Belleville a plain
man said to me: "What do you think I
heard last night? I was in the room where
one of my neighbors was dying. He was a
goo 1 man, and he said he heard the angels
of God singing before the throne. I haven't
much poetry about me, but I listened and I
heard them, too." Said i, "I have no doubt
of it." Why, wo are to be taken up to
heaven at last by ministering spirits. Who
are they to be? Souls that went up from
Madras, or Antioch, or Jerusalem? Oh, no;
our glorified kindred are going to troop
around them.
Ilenven isnot a stately, formal pine ?. ns I
sometimes hear it described, a very i rigidity
ofrsplendor, where people stand on cold for
/
mall ties and go around about with heavy
crowns of gold on their heads. No, that is I
not iny idoa of heaven. M y idea of heaven
is more like this: You are seated iu the1
eveningtide by the fireplace, your whole
family there, or nearly-all J^hegi there.
.Wftila you are seated talking dnd enjoying
the evening hour there is a knock at jthedoor
and the door opens, and thjare^ conies in a
brother that has been long absent. 'He has
been absent, for years you have not seen |
him, and no sooner do you make up your
mind that it is certainly he than you leap up, j
and the question is who shall give him the !
first embrace. That is my idea of heaven?a j
great home circle where they are waiting for
us.
Oh, will you not know your mother's voice
there? She who always called you by your
first name long after others ha?J given, yop j
the formal "Mister?9 You vfete n?ver 'ah/- |
thing but James, or John,' or George, or
Thomas, or Mary, or Florence to her. * Will
vou not know your child's voice? She of the
bright eye and tho ruddy cheek and the quiet |
step, who came in from piny and flung her- |
sen into your lap, a very shower of mirth I
and beauty? Why, the picture is graven^n j
your soul. It cannot wear out. If that little
one should stand on tho other side of some '
heavenly hill and call to you, yon would hear j
her voice above the burst of heaven's great |
orchestra. Know it? You could not help J
but know it. ; ,* . I
Now 1 bring yon this'glorious consolation |
of future recognition. If you could get this
theory into your heart it would lift a great
many shadows that are stretching across it.
When I was a lad 1 used to go out to the
railroad track and put my ear down on the
track, and I conla hear the express train
rumbling miles away-antf oomingon; and to* |
day, my friends, if we only had faith enoqgu j
we" could put our ear dOWn to the gravo of |
our dead and listen and hear in the distance
the rumbling on of the chariots of resurrection
victory. O heaven, sweet heaven! You
do not spell heaven as you used to spell it.
You used to spell it h-e-a-v-e-n?heaven. But
now when you want to spell that word yoif
place side by side the faces of the loved ones
who are gone, and in that Irradiation of
light and love and beauty and joy vou spoil.
it as never before in songs and hallelujahs.
Ob, yo whose hearts are down under the sod
of the cemetery, cheer up at the thought of
this reunion. Oh, how much you will have
to tell them when once you meet them!
How much you have been through since
you saw them Ihstl On the shining shore
you will talk it all over. The heartaches,
the loneliness, the sleepless nights, the weeping
until you had no more power 'to weep,
becausp the heart was withered and dried
.up. Story of vacant chair and empty cradle,
and little'shoe only half warn out, never |
to be worn again, just the shape of the foot
that once pressed it. And dreams when you
thought that the departed had come back
again, and the room seemed bright with
their faces, and you started up to
greet them, and in the effort the dream |
broke and you found yourself standing amid
room in the midnight?alone. Tal ting it all
over, and then hand in hand wnlking up and
down in the light. No sorrow, nc tears, no
death. 0, heaven, 6eautiful heaven 1 Heaven
where our friends are. Heaven where we
expect to be. In the east they take a -cage of
birds and bring it to the tomb of the dead,
and then they open the door of the cage ana
the birds, flying out, sing. And I would to.
day bring a cago of Christian consolations to
the grave of your loved ones, and I would
open the door and let them fill all the air
with the music of their voices.
Oh, how they bound in, theso spirits before
the throneb Some shout with gladness, some ;
break forth into uncontrolable weeping for
joy, some stand speechless in their shock of I
delight. They sing, they quiver with exces- '
sive gladness, they gaze on the temples, on ]
the palaces, on tne waters, on each other, j
They weave their joy into garlands, they
spring it into triumphal arches, they strike
it on timbrels, and then all the loved ones
gather in a great circle around the throne of
God?fathers, mothers, brothers, sisters,
sons and daughters, lovers and friends, hand
to hand around about the throne of God?
the circle ever widening?hand to hand, joy
to joy, jubilee to jubilee, victory to victory,
"until the day break and the shadows flee
away. Turn thou, ray beloveJ, and bo like
a roe or a young hail; upon the mountains of :
Bethcr."
Oh, how different it is on earth from the
way it is in heaven when a Christian dies!
We sav, "Close his eyes." In heaven they
say, "Give him a palm." On earth we say,
"Let him down in the ground." In heaven
thev say, "Raise him on a throne." On
earth it is, "Farewell, farewell." In heaven
it is, "Welcome, welcome." And I see a !
Christian soul coming down to the river of ,
death, and he steps into the river and the
water comes to the ankle. He says, "Lord
Jesus, is this death?" "No," says Carist, j
"this is not death." And he wades still
^ j ,
deeper uuwu mw mo wai^iis iiuuu iuo uw\i
comes to the knee, and he saysj "Lord
Jesus, tell me, tall me, is this ,
death?" And Christ says, "No, no; this is [
not death." And he wades still farther
down until the wave comes to the girdle, j
and the soul says, "Lord Jesus, is this <
death?" "No," says Christ, "this is not." '
And deeper in wades the soul till the billow |
strikes the lip, and the departing one crios,
"Lord Jesus, is this death?" "No," says
Christ, "this is not." But when Christ had
lifted that soul on a throne of glory, and the
pomp and Joy of heaven came surging to its i
feet, then Christ said, "This, oh transported
soul, this is death."

NOTES AND COMMENTS
The oldest living preacher in the Un'.'.ul
States is the Hcv. l)r. John Atkinson,
who lives near Be.ton Harbor, Mich.
He was horn in Fleiuington, X. J., in
1797, and was licensed to preach in 1B14.
lu reviewing his life the other day the
old gentleman said: ''I knew Jesse Lee,
the first missionary appointed for the New
England States, and heard him preach; I
knew Joseph Hit more, 0:1c of the first,
two missionaries sent by Mr. Wesley,
irom me i.<e(aus (r.ng.auuj i omcn-nn- hi
1747 to the province of North America,
and I attended his funeral in Philadelphia.
I was converted under the ministry
of Joseph Tottcn, and joined the
Church under John Walker, of Trenton
circuit. I want to tell you a story about
Joseph Totteu. One day lie rebuked
two young ladies, daughters of a prominent
lawyer, who made it a point of disturbing
the services by entcring^thc
churcli late. He said: 'There you conic
prancing iu with the devil's tov-shop
on your heads and hell's bells iu your
ears.'"
The euormous wool industry in Australia
has been largely stimulated by
mortgage and finance cnmpinics, as well
as by the banks. An individual or a
firm desiring to raise sheep and to grow
wool in any of the Australian countries
can- usually secure capital, or at lcas't
large advances on his stock, by agreeing
that the clip shall be handled, fo .warded
and sold by either the banks or the mart- j
gage companies. Thus, of the total import
of Australian wool into (Jrcnt Brit- j
ain in ltW), of nearly 1,210,000 bales, j
about twelve per cent, was consigned for :
sale through the banks, aud about thirty- |
one per cent, through the mortgage and (
finance companies. The business is done
on a much larger scale, or rather in a !
more conceutrated manner, than in this j
country. Single firms own larger ntim |
hers of sheen than any corresponding
firms or individuals iu the United States, j
"Iuhiuation, not politics, is what we
ci Arizona arc most interested in," sai l
Judge James B. Wright, ot that Territory.
4'Ten years ago svstcm.itic irrigation
began, and it has been and will con
tinue to be pushed unceasingly. As the
result of the past ten years' work, nearly
one million acres, 'then barren and unpro
ductivc, have been reclaimed and con
verted into a high state of cultivation
In the Salt Rivet Valley alone over J00,
000 acres have been reclaimed, and *
stranger going there would unhesitatingly
declare it to be the Garden of Eden
restored. Lemons, oranges, dates, '
almonds?in fact, all the products and
more of Southern California--are grown
in the Salt River Valley, and it is the
most beautiful spot in the country. 1

II is not an nnnsusl comment of visiting
foreigners that we Americans are
lacking in politeness?not in onr homes
or society, but out of doors. Americans
jostle each other ou the street, stare
strangers out of countenance, are quick
and peremptory in transacting business,
and in a hundred other ways lack that
courteous air which distinguishes ordinary
life abroad.
No gentlerc an in Continental Enrope
ever enters or leaves a Bhop without
raising his hat and bowing, and it Is an
invariable cus tom to salute fellow-guests
at tho table d'hote, although everyone
may be personally unknown.
Bakers' and butchers' boys in Paris,
ignorant and ragged though they may
be, salute as they pass, and ea:h is eager
to yield the right of way. In the
great apartment houses every lodger
bows and passes the time of day on
meeting any othor lodger, and even a
gendarme says "sir" when asking you to
"move on."
This courtesy is a trait of tho Latin
races. We of Anglo-Saxon lineage may
bo braver or more bonest, bnt we are
certainly not polito to strangers.
Perhaps there is nothing in which
we are more ill-bred than in out streetcar
manners. There, it is every one for
themselves. In Mexico, we might
learn something on this score.
"The manners of the people of Guadalajara,"
says a recent travolor, "uro
in keeping with the cheerfulness and
frien llinoss of the city. Imagino yourself
entering a street-car in any city of
the United States, taking your scat,
bowing, lmt in hand, to your fellowpfbsongers,
none of whom yon have
ever before soen. Then suppose yourself
nrrrived at yonr destination. You
rise, smile a friendly farewell to the car
in goncral, shake hands with the conductor,
and with a polite inclination ol
the head, take leavo of the driver. The
number of times I liavo witnessed sucb
exhibitions of politeness convince me
that it is one of the customs of the
country."
Imperfect Itoforinntlon.
"Josiah," said Mrs. Chugwater to the
head of tho family, "I bolieve our
Johnny is turning over a now leaf and

inc a little while ago if ho could take
the family Bible up to bis room for aD
hour or two."
About the sumo time a boy of Johnny's
size was seen to outer a cigar store
iu the vicinity, opon a big book and lay
it on the counter.
"Do you sec this entry?" ho demanded,

American Women. . I
A European cannot spend an evening
in an American drawing room without
perceiving that the attitude of men toward
women is not that witji which he is '
familiar at home, writes Professor Bvrce
in The American Commonwealth,
The average European man has usually
a slight sense of condescension when lie
talks to a womaa on serious subjects.
Even if she'i6 his superior in intellect,
in character, in social rank, he thinks
that as a man he is her superior, and
consciously or unconsciously talks down
to her. She is too much accustomed to
this to resent it. unless it becomos tastelessly
palpable.
! Such a notion dees not cross an
American's rilind. He talks to a woman
just as lie would to a man, of course
with more deference of manner, and
with a proper regard to the topics likely
to interest hex,.but giving her his intellectual'best,
addressing her as a person
whoso opinion is understood by both to
be worth as much as his Own. Similarly,
an American lady does not expect
to have conversation made to her. It j
is just as much her duty or her pleasure
to lead it as the man's is, and more often 1
than not she takes the burden from
liim rliiv^mrv mUli n /?<t? ?MtvAAti?v I
uaiuuy mm a Yivauitj
which pnts to shame his slower wits.
1 The respect for women'which every
. American man either feels or is obliged
by public sentiment to profess has a
wholesome effect on his conduct and
character, .and serves to check the cynicism
which other peculiarities of tho
country foster. The nation as a whole
owes to the active benevolence of its
women, and their zeal in promoting social
reforms, benetT-s which the customs
*of Continental Europe would
; scarcely have permitted womon to confer.
Europeans.have of late years liegun
to render the well-deserved admiration
to the brightness and vivacity of
American ladies. Those who know the
Work'they have done and are doiDg in
many a noblo' cause will admire still i
more their energy, their courage, their
self-devotion." No country seems to owe
more to its women than America docs,
por to owe them so much of what is
"hiest in social institutions and in the beliefs
that govern conduct.

Kissing Mother. ,
. 'How many young Indies of to-day
would laugh at the absurd idea, as they
express it, of kissing mother, but yon

vour fever-tainted breath and swollen

years of childish suoshine.and shadows
she was always ready to cure . by tho. ;
magic of a. mother's kiss the little,dirty,
chubby hands whenever they, were in:
jnred in those first skirmishes with tho
rough world. And then tho midnight
kisses with which sho routed so many
bad dreams as she leaned above your
restless piHow have all been on interest
these long, long years. Of course, she
is not so pretty ftLd kissable as you are,
but if you had done your share of work
these last ten years the contrast wonld
not be so marked. Her faco has moro
wrinkles than yours, and yet if youweie
sick that face would appear far more
beautiful than an angel's as it hoverod

Among the nameless heroes, none are
more worthy of martyrdom than he who
rode down the valley of the Conemaugh,
warning the people ahead of the Johnstown
flood. Mounted on a powerful
horse, faster and faster went the rider,
but the flood was swiftly gaining, until
it caught the unlucky horseman and
swept ou, grinding, crushing, annihilating
both weak and strong.
In the same way is disease lurking
near, like unto the sword of Damocles,
ready to fall, without warning, on its
victim, who allows Ills system to become
clogged up, and his blood poi
soned, and thereby his health enciaugcred.
To cradicato these poisons from
the system, no matter what their name

malarial, typhoid or bilious fever, or
