i Many persons hare their good day and their bad day. Other* are about half eick all the time. They have headache, backache, and are restless and nervous. Food does not taste good, and the digestion is poor; the skin is dry and sallow and disfigured with pimples or eruptions; sleep brings no rest and work is a burden. What is the cause of all this? Impure blood. And the remedy? It clears out the channels through which poisons are carried from the body. When all impurities are removed from the blood nature takes right hold and completes the cure. If there is constipation, take Ayer’s Pills. They awaken the drowsy action of the liver; they cure biliousness. Wrtte to our Doctor* We have the exclusive service* of tome o( tho most eminent physicians in ttie Unlteii States.

Onr of the Mont Notable Chnrnetera of Onr Tillies, Whose Life Is Worthy of lOimilntlon, bn.is the riilplt Ora tor. [Copyright, Louis Klopsch, 1M9.] Washington, April 23.—Ono of the most notablo characters of onr time is the subject of Dr. Tulniage’s discourse, and the lessons drawn are inspiring; text, II Samuel ill, 88, “Know ye not that then* is h prince ami a great man fallen this day in IsraelV” Here is a plumed catafalque, followed by King David and n funeral oration which lie delivers at the tomb. Con cerning Abner, tho great, David weeps ont the text. More appropriately than when originally uttered we may now utter this resounding lamentation, “Know ye not that there is a prince and a great man fallen this day in Israel Y” It was 30 minutes after (5, the exact hour of sunset of the Sabbath day, and while the evening lights were being kindled, that tho soul of Stephen J. Field, tho lawyer, tho judge, the pa triot, tho statesman, tho Christian, ascended. It was sundown in the home on yonder Capitol hill, as it was sun down on all tho surronnding hills, hut in both cases the sun et to be followed by a glorious sunrise. Hear the Easter anthems still lingering in the air, “The trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall rise. ” Onr departed friend came forth a boy from a minister's home in New Eng land. He knelt with father and mother at morning and evening prayer, learned from maternal lips lessons of piety which lasted him and controlled him amid all the varied and exciting scenes of a lifetime and helped him to die in peace an octogenarian. Biot out from American history the names of those ministers’ sons who have done honor to judicial bench and commercial circle and national legislature and presidential chair, and yon would obliterate many of the grandest chapters of that history. It is no small advantage to have started from a home where God is honored and the subject of a world’s emancipation from sin and sorrow is under constant discussion. Tho Ten Commandments, which are tho foundation of all good law—Roman law, German law, Eng lish law, American law—are the best foundation upon which to build charac ter, and those which the boy, Stephen J. Field, so often heard in tho parson age at Stoekbridgu were bis guidance when u half century after, as a gowned justice of the supreme court of the United States, he unrolled his opinions. Bibles, hymn books, catechisms, family prayers, atmosphere sanctified, are good surroundings for hoys and girls to start from, and if our laxer ideas of religion and Sabbath days and home training prodnee as splendid men and women as the much derided Puritanic Sabbath and Puritanic teachings have produced, it will bo a matter of congratulation and thanksgiving. Do not pass by tho fact that I have not yet seen emphasized that Stephen J. Field was a minister’s son. Notwith standing that there are conspicuous ex ceptions to the rule—and the exceptions have built np a stereotyped defamation on tho subject—statistics plain and un deniable prove that a larger proportion of ministers’ sons turn out well than are to bo found in any other genealogic al table. Let all tho parsonages of all denominations of Christians where chil dren are growing up take the consola tion. See the star of hope pointing down to that manger i Member of Itoyal Fnmlly. Notice also that onr departed friend was a member of a royal family. There were no crowns or scepters or thrones in that ancestral line, but the family of tho Fields, like tho family of the New York Primes, like the family of the Princeton Vxandors, like a score of families that 1 might mention, if it were best to mention them, were “the children of tho king” and had put on them honors brighter than crowns and wielded influence longer and wider than scepters. That family of Fields traces an honorable lineage back 800 years to Hnbertr.u do la Feld, coadjutor of Wil liam the Conqueror. Let us thank God for such families, generation after gen eration on tho side of that which is right and good. Four sons of that coun try minister, known tho world over for extraordinary usefulness in their spheres, legal, commercial, literary and theological, and a daughter, tho mother of one of tho associate jnstices of the supremo court. Such families counter balance for good those families all wrong from generation to generation— fanalies that stand for wealth, unright- eou»r got and stingily kept or wicked ly squandered; families that stand for fraud or impurity or malevolence; fam ily names that immediately come to every mind, though through senso of propriety they do not come to tho lip. The name of Field will snrvivo ceutn- ries and be a synonym for religion, for great jurisprudence, for able Christian journalism, as the names of the Pha raohs and the Cicsars stand for cruelty and oppression and vice. While parents cannot aspire to have such conspicuous households as the ono tho name of whose son we now cele brate, all parents may by fidelity in prayer and holy example have tbcL sons and daughters become kings and ' queens unto God, to reign forever and ever. But tho work has already been done, and I could go through this coun try and find a thousand households which have by the grace of God and blessing upon paternal and maternal excellence become the royal families of America. Let young taen beware lest they by their behavior blot such family records with sonie misdeed. We can all think of households *ho names of which meant everything honorable atnl con secrated for a long while, hut by the deed of ono son sacrificed, disgraced and blasted. Look ont how yon rob your consecrated ancestry of the name they handed to you unsullied I Better us trustee to that name add something worthy. Do something to honor the old homestead, whether a mountain cabin or a city mansion or a country parson age. Rev. David Dudley Field, though I 82 years passed upward, is honored to day by the Christian life, tho service, the death of his sou Stephen. lullurnco of it Good Katlirr. Among the most absorbing books of the Bible is tho book of Kings, which u^aiu and again illustrates Unit, though piety 1h not hereditary, the style of parentage has much to do with the style of descendant. It declares of King Abijnm, “Hi 1 walked in all tho eins of his father which he had done before him,” and of King Azarinh, “He did that which was right in the sight of the Lord, according to all that his fa ther Amaziah had done. ” We owe n debt to those who have gone before in onr line as certainly ns we have obliga tions to those who subsequently appear in the household. Not so sacred is your old father’s walking stuff, which yon keep in his memory or the eyeglasses through which your mother studied the Bible in her old age as the name they Iku'c, the name which you inherited. Keep it bright, I charge you. Keep it suggestive of something elevated in character. Trample not underfoot that which to your father and mother was dearer than life itself. Defend their graves as they defended your cradle. Family coat of arms, escutcheons, en signs armorial, lion couchant, or lion dormant, or lion rampant, or lion com batant, may pttrnct attention, but bet ter than all heraldic inscription is a family name which means from gener ation to generation faith in God, self sacrifice, duty performed, a life well lived and a death happily died and a heavin gloriously won I That was the kind of name that Justice Field aug mented and adorned and perpetuated— a name honorable at the close of the eighteenth century, more honored now at the close of the nineteenth. Notice also that onr illustrious friend was great in reasonable and genial dis sent. Of 1,042 opinions he rendered, none were more potent or memorable than those rendered while he was in small minority and sometimes in a mi nority of one. A learned and distin guished lawyer of this country said ho would rather be author of Judge Field’s dissenting opinions than to be the au thor of the constitution of the United States. The tendency is to go with the multitude, to think what others think, to say and do what others do. Some times the majority are wrong, and it requires heroes to take tho negative, but to do that logically and in good humor requires some elements of make up not often found in judicial dissent ers or, indeed, in any class of men. There are so many people in the world opposed to everything and who display their opposition in rancorous and ob noxious ways that a Judge Field was needed to make the negative respected and genial and right. Minorities under God save the world and save the church. An unthinking and precipitate “yes” may he stopped by a righteous and be roio “ro. ” The majorities are not al ways right. Thq old gosped hymn de clares it: Numbers nro no mark that men will right bo found; A few were saved in Noah's ark to many mil lions drowned. IIin DlHhcntiiiK Opinion. The declaration of American Inde pendence was u dissenting opinion. The Free vhnrch of Scotland, under Chal mers and bis compeers, was a dissenting movement. Tho Bible itself, Old Testa ment and New Testament, is a protest against tho theories that would have destroyed the world and is a dissenting as well as a divinely inspired book. Tho decalogue on Sinai repeated ten times “Thou shalt not.” For ages to eome will be quoted from lawbooks in court rooms Justice Field’s maguiticent dis senting opinions. Notice that onr nscended friend had such a character as assault and peril alone can develop. Ho had not come to tho soft cushions of tho supreme court bench stepping on cloth of gold and saluted all along the lino by handclap ping of applause. Country parsonages do not rock their babes In satin lined cradle or afterward send them out into the world with enough in their band to purchase place and power. Pastors’ sal aries in the early part of this century hardly ever reached $700 a year. Econ omies that sometimes cut into tho hone characterized many of tho homes of the New England clergymen. The young lawyer of whom we speak today arrived in San Francisco in 1840 with only $10 in his pocket. Williarastown college was only introductory to a post gradu ate course which our illustrious friend took while administering justice and halting- ruflianism amid the mining camps of California. Oh, those “forty- niners.” as they were called, through what privations, through what narrow escapes, amid what exposures they moved I Administering and executing law among outlaws never has been an easy undertaking. Among mountain eers, many of whom had no regard for hnman life and where the snap of pistol and bang of gun were not unusual re sponses, required courage of tho highest metal. Behind a dry goods box surmounted by tallow candles Judge Field began his judicial career. What exciting ■cenes ho passed through! An infernal machine was handed to him, and inside the lid of tho box was pasted his de cision in tho Pueblo case, the decision that had balked unprincipled specula tors. Ten years ago his life would have passed out had net an officer of tho law shot down his assailant. It took a long training of hardship and abuse and misinterpretation and threat of violence and Hash of assassin’s knife to fit him for tho high place where he could defy legislatures and congresses and presi dents apd the world when he knew he was right. Hardship is the grindstone that sharpens intellectual faculties, and the swords with which to strike effect ively for God and one’s country. The reason that life to so many is a failure is because they do not have op position enough and trials enough or because they ignominously He down to be run over by them instead of nsing them for stairs on which to pnt their foot and mount. Those “born with a gold spoon in their mouths” are apt to take their last medicine out of a pewter mug. Have brave heart in ail depart ments, ye men of many obsL'clesi Tharo is no brawn or character without them. The roughs glaring and growling around about tho shed of a courtroom in Marys ville, Cal, had as much to do with Judge Field’s development as Mark Hopkins, the great Williamatown col lege president. Opposition develops courage. I like the ring of Martin Lu ther’s deiiauco when ho said to tho Duke of Saxony, “Things are otherwise ordered in heaven than they are at Augsburg.” Honor of (lie Jnilieinr)'. Notice also how much onr friend did for Hie honor of the judiciary. What inomentotiH scenes have been witnessed in onr United States supromu court, ou the bench and before tho bench, wheth er, far back. It held its sessionaln tho up- jferrooniof t 1 e Exchange at New York, or afterward for ten years in the city ball at Philadelphia, or later in the cellar of yonder capitol, the place where for many years tit*; Congressional library was ki-pt, a sepulcher where books wore buried alive, tho hole called by John Randolph “the cavo of Trophoniusl” What mighty men stood before that bar pleading in immortal eloquence on ques tions of national import! Edmund Ran dolph and Alexander Hamilton and Pinkney and Jeremiah Mason and Caleb Cashing and the weird and irresistible Rufus Choate mid Gecrgo Wood and Charles O’Conor and James T. Brady and Francis B. Cutting and men now living just ns powerful. How suggestive tho invitation which William Wirt, the great Virginian, wrote his friend inviting him to yonder supreme courtroom: “Tomorrow a week will come on the great steamboat question from New York. Emmett and Oakley on one side, Webster and myself on the other. Como down and hear it. Emmett’s whole soul is in the case, and ho will stretch all Ids powers. Oakley is said to be ono of tho finest logicians of the ago, as mneb a Phocion as Em mett is a Themistocles, and Webster is us ambitious as Caesar. Ho will not be ontdono by any man if it is within tho compass of Ids power to avoid it. Come to Washington. It will be a combat worth witnessing.” Tho supreme court has stood so high in England and tho United States that the vices of a few who have occupied that important place have not been able to disgrace it, nei ther the corruption of Francis Bacon, nor tho cruelty of Sir George Macken zie, nor tho Sabbath desecration of Lord Castlereagh. To that highest of all tribunals Abra ham Lincoln called our friend, but ho lived long enough to honor the supremo court more than it had ever honored him. For more than 34 years ho sat in tho presence of this nation and of nil nations a model judge. Fearlessness, integrity, devotion to principle, char acterized him. No bribe ever touched his hand. No profane word ever scalded his tongue. No blemish of wrong ever marred his character. Fully qualified was he to have his name associated in the history of this country with the greatest of the judiciary. As at 13 o’clock day by day on yonder hill tho gavel falls in the supreme courtroom and it isunuonneed that the chief justice of the United States and the associate jnstices are about to en ter, and all counselors at the bar and all spectators rise to greet them, and the officer with the words, “Oyez, oyez, oyez I” announces that all is now ready for a hearing and exclaims, “God save tho United States of America,” so I wish wo could in imagination gather together those who have occupied that high judicial place in this and other lands, and they might enter and after the falling of some mighty gavel had demanded attention wo could look upon them--Marshall, the giant of American jurisprudence, and John Jay, of whom Daniel Webster said in com memoration, “When the spot less ermine of the judicial robe fell on John Jay, it touched nothing less spotless than ttHolf,’’ and Rutledge and Cushing and Ellsworth and Joseph Storey, called the Walter Scott of common law, and Sir Matthew Halo and Lord Eldon and Lord Tenterdcn and Sir James McIn tosh and Mansfield and the long lino of lord chancellors and tho great judges from both sides tho sea—and after they had taken their places in our quickened imagination tho distinguished cases of centuries which they decided might again be called on, after the assembled nations had ejaculated, “God save the United States of America,” “God save Great Britain.” “God save the na tions. ” The Sanctity of Law. Ah, how the law honors and sancti fies everything it touches! Natural law. Civil law. Social law. Commercial law. Common law. Moral law. Eccle siastical law. International law. Oh, tho dignity, the impressiveness, the power of law I It is the only thing be fore which Jehovah bows, hut ho hows before that, although tho law is of his own making. Tho law! By it worlds swing. By it tho fate of centuries is decided. By it all the affairs of time and all the cycles of eternity will bo governed. We cannot soar so high or sink so deep or reach ont so far or live so long as to escape it. It is tho throne on which the Almighty sits. To in terpret law, what a profession! What a responsibility I What an execration when the Judge bo a Lord Jeffreys! What a benediction if he he u Chancel lor Kent! In passing, let mo say that for this chief tribunal of onr country congress should soon provide a better place. Let mme of tho moneys voted for improve ment of rivers which are nothing but flry creeks and for harbors which will never have any shipping and for monu ments to some people—whom it is not at all important for ns to remember—bo voted fur the erection of a building worthy of our United States supreme court. John Buskin, in “Stones of Venice,” calls attention to the pleasing lact that in the year 813 tho dogo of Venice devoted himself to putting up two great buildings—Ht. Mark’s, for tho worship of God, and a palace for tho administration of justice toman. In its appreciation of what Is best let not I 18UV lie behind 813. With such granite in our quarries and such architects ca pable of drafting sublime structure and such magnificent sites on which to build, let not another year pass before we hear the trowel ring ou tho cornerstone of a temple to be occupied by tho highest court of tho land. Have yon over realized how much God has honored law in the fact that all up and down the Bible he makes tho judge a type of himself and employs the scene of n courtroom to set forth the grandeurs of tho great judgment day T Book of Genesis, “Shall not tho judge of ftU the earth do right?” Book of Deuteronomy, “Tho Lord shall judge his people.” Book of Psalms, “God is Judge himaelf.” Book of Acts, “Judge of quick and dead.” Book of Timothy, “Tho Lord the righteous Judge. ” Nev er will it he understood how God honors judges and courtrooms until tho thun derbolt of the last day shall pound tho I opening of the great assize -tho day of trial, tho day of clearance, l ho day of doom, the day of judgment. Tho law of tho case on that occasion will be read and the indictment of ten counts, which are the Ten Commandments. Justice will plead the case again t ns, hut onr glorious advocate will plead in our be half, for “wo have an advocate with tho Father—Jesus Christ, the fight- •Hr i'on)i.” Then tho case will ls> decided in onr (learancc. aft tho Judge announces "There is now, therefore, no condem nation to them who nro in Christ Jesus " Under the crowded galleries of cloud on that last day, and under tho swaying upholstery of n burning heav ens. and while the Alps and Himalayas and Mount Washington are falling flat on (heir faces, wo will be able to under stand the significance of those Scripture passages which speak of God as Judge and employ the courtroom of earth as typical of tho scene when all nations shall he brought into triMuml. S«*rvlcv*i fc'iiltlifiilly I'erformed. To have done well, all that such a profusion could ask of him. and to have made that profession still more honor able by his brilliant and sublime life, is enough for national and international, terrestrial and celestial congratulation. And then to expire beautifully, while the prayers of his church were being offered at his bedside, the door of heav en opening for his entrance as the door of earth opened for his departure, the sob of the earthly, farewell caught np into raptures that never die. Yes, lie livid and died in the faith of the old fashioned Christian religion. Young man, I want to tell you that Justice Field believed in the Bible from lid to lid, a hook all true‘either as doc trine or history, much of it tho history of cvi ills that neither God nor man ap proves. Our friend drank the wine of the holy sat l ament and ate the bread of which “if a man eat he shall never hunger. ” He was the up and down, ont and out fri< ml of the church of Christ. If there had been anything illogical in our religion, he would have scouted it, for he was a logician. If there had been in it anything unreasonable, he would have .rejected it, because he was a great reasontr. If there had been in it any thing that would not stand research, he would have exploded tho fallacy, for his life was a life of research. Young men of Washington, young men of America, young men of the round world, a religion that would stand the test of Justice Field’s penetrating and all ransacking intellect must have in it something worthy of your confidence. 1 tell you now that Christianity has not only the heart of tho world otj its side, but the brain of the world also. Yo who have tried to represent the religion of the Bible as something pusillani mous, how do you account for the Christian faith of Stephen J. Field, whole shelves of the law library occu pied with his magnificent decisions? And now may the God of all comfort speak to the bereft, especially to her who was the queen of his life from the day \vb a as a stranger he was shown to her pew in tho Episcopal church to this tiaio of the broken heart. lie changed churches, but did not change religions, for the church in which ho was horn and the church in which he died alike believe in God the Father Al mighty, Maker of heaven and earth, and in Jesus Christ, his only begotten Son, and in th« corn muni on of saints, and In the life everlasting. Amen. The body of our friend sleeps in tem porary resting place. Hearts over whelmed with grief cannot just now decide where that sacred and silent form shall hear the trumpet that wakes the dead. Three places are proposed, and nil appropriate. Some say 'et it ho in some God’s aero near this capital, where tho pillows of dust are already embroidered with spring (lowers. How appropriate some cemetery near this city, which was so long his residence, and so near the place where he sat in judgment, holding evenly the balances that God put in his hand I It would be well for ns sometimes to go out and read his epitaph and recall his virtues. Borne say let him rest on the Pacific slope, where he achieved so much for the new state and fitted himself for so great eminence, and it would ho beau tiful to let the whole nation bow at his passing catafalque, a funeral reaching from ocean to ocean and 3,000 miles long, the Alleghanics and the Rockies and the Bierra Nevadas echoing the thunders of the rail train taking him to his last earthly home. But equally as appropriate is another proposal that he be put to rest amid the graves of father and mother and re nowned brothers and the New England friends of the family in tho cemetery at Btockbridge, Mass. After a life of toil and struggle he needs some quiet place. Old men who were his schoolfel lows would lean heavily upon tho staff and watch as he was brought through the gates (f the place in which they also will soon lie down to rest. Far away from the jostle and contention and rush and activities of the great cities ho would sleep the calm sleep of the jtnt. The hyacinths and calla lilies of the spring planted there would typify tho resmTection, and the snows of win ter banked there would suggest the robes made whito in the blood of the Lamb.
