A// except
bad ones!
There are hun
dreds of cough medi
cines which relieve
coughs, all coughs,
except bad ones!
The medicine which
has been curing the
worst of bad coughs
for Goyears is Ayer's
Cherry Pectoral.
Here is evidence:
“ My wife was troubled with a
deep-seated cough on her lungs for
three years. One day I thought
of how Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral
saved the life of my sister after
the doctors had all given her up to
die. So I purchased two bottles,
and it cured my wife completely.
It took only one bottle to cure my
sister. So you seelhat three bot
tles (one dollar each) saved two
lives. We all send you our heart
felt thanks for what you have done
for us.”—J. H. Purge, Macon,Col,
Jan. 13, 1899.
Now, for the first time you
can get a trial bottle of Cherry
Pectoral for 25 cents. Ask
your druggist.

Washington, Oct. 14.—Dr. Tulninge
staid in London to occupy the famous
Wesley pulpit In the City Hoad chapel,
where he preached several times be
fore, always receiving hearty welcome.
Thence he went to Ireland, preaching
in Belfast and Dublin. The discourse
he has sent this week describes the be
havior of a young man away from
home and suggests practical lessons
for people of every age and class. The
text is Daniel 1, 5, "And the king ap
pointed them a daily provision of the
king’s meat and of the wine which he
drank, so nourishing them three years,
that at the end thereof they might
stand before the king.”
My text opens the door of a college in
Babylon and introduces you to a young
student 17 years of age, Daniel by
name. Be not surprised if in the col
lege you find many hilarities. But a
hundred young men together, and they
are sure to have a good time. There is
no harm in that. God does not write
out the trees, and the grass, and the
blossoms, in dull prose. The old robin
does not sit moping in the nest because
of the chirpings and the lively adven
tures of the fledgelings that have just
begun to fiy. Do not come into .in or
chard looking for winter apples on a
May morning.
But Daniel of our text is far from be
ing gay. What oppressive thoughts
must have come over him as lie remem
bered that he was a captive in a strange
land! The music that came into his
study window was not the song of Zi
on, but the sound of flute, saekbut and
dulcimer in the worship of the heathen
god. Moreover, he had no hope of ever
getting back home again and meeting
those who had missed him long and
missed him bitterly, wondering if he
were still alive and finding many a lux
ury tasteless because they did not
know but Daniel might be lacking
bread.
When you and I were in school or
college and the vacation approached,
we were full of bright anticipation,
and we could not study the last day,
and we could not study the last night.
The lexicon and the philosophical ap
paratus were transparent, so we could
see right through them into the mead
ows and the orchards. Not so with
poor Daniel. He did not know that he
should ever escape from captivity, or.
escaping, he did not know but when he
got home the loved ones would he dead
and he would go, wandering and weep
ing, among the sepulchers of his fa-
thorn. Besides that, the king tried to
make him forget his home and forget
Ids country and for that purpose ac
tually (hanged ids name. The king
wanted him to he a prodigy in personal
appearance, and so he ordered meat
and wine sent from ids own table to
Daniel, hut Daniel refuses all this and
puts himself upon the humblest diet,
the poorest of all herbs, called pulse,
and plain water. His attendants cry
out against this and tell him he will
perish under such a diet. “No,” he
says; “you try us for ten days, and if
at the end of that time wo are not full
cheeked and robust as any it will be
surprising.” Ten days pass along, and
the students come up for examination,
and all declare that none are so ruddy
and robust as Daniel and Ids fellow
captives. The days of industrious pu
pilage and the years pass by, and the
day of graduation lias come, and Dan
iel gets ids diploma, signed by the
king and reading ns follows: “In all
matters of wisdom and understanding
that the king inquired of them he
found them ten times better than all
the magicians and astrologers that
were in all ids realm.” And so Daniel
took the first honor, and here the story
ends, for Daniel, the student, hereafter
will he Daniel, the prime minister.
DuiiKern of Kvll IlnltltH.
The next thought suggested to me by
lids subject is that young men may he
carried into captivity by their enemies.
There is a captivity more galling than
the one in which Daniel was trans
ported. It is the captivity of evil hab
it. Men do not go into that wittingly.
Slyly and imperceptibly are tin* chains
forged upon them, and one day they
wake up to find themselves away down
in Babylon. Cyrus afterward consent
ed that some of his captives should re
turn, and .10,000 of them accepted the
opportunity. But fell me what evil
habit ever consented to let n man go.
Ten plagues made Bharaoh consent to
the departure of God’s people, but tell
me what Bharaoh of evil habit ever
cheerfully consented to let any of its
victims go. Men talk of evil habits as
though they tvore light and trivial, but
they are scorpion whips that tear the
flesh: they are spikes more bloody than
the path of a Brahman; they make the
poisonous robe of Nessus; they are the
sepulchers in which millions are burn
ed alive. The young are in more peril
because they are unsuspecting. The
lions are asleep in their soul, and their
power is not suspected. The time when
a ship’s company makes mutiny Is
when the watchman Is off his guard.
When a spider meets a fly, it does not
say, “Go down with me to the place
where I murder insects.” No; it says,
“Come and take a bright morning walk
with me on this suspension bridge of
glittering gossamer.” Oh, there Is- a
difference between the sparkle of a ser
pent's eye and the crush of its slimy
folds! There is a difference between
the boar's paw toying with a kid and
the crackling of the hones in the terri
ble ling. Bike’s peak looks beautiful in
the distance, but ask the starved trav
elers by the roadside what they think
of Bike’s peak. Are there those around
whom suspicions companions are gatli-
eilng'/ Do their Jests and their enter-
taininehts make the hours go blithely
by when you are with them? Have
you taken n sip from their cup of sin
or g< ne with them in one path of un
righteousness? Turn hack. From Bab-
jlcin they came, and to Babylon they
would carry you. If so many plague
stricken men would like to enter your
companionship, before any one is al
lowed to pass into the Intimacy of your
heart put on them severest quarantine,
Inefrucenble I tu im-i-mm I on ■,
My subject also Impresses mo with
the fact that early impressions are al
most Ineffaceable. Daniel had a nil-
gimiM bringing up. From fho gowtl
meaning of Ids name 1 know lie had
pious parentage. But as soon as ho
Comes into the possession of the king
his name Is changed, nil his surround
ings are changed, and now, you say,
will begin the demoralization of his
character. Before, ids name was Dan
iel, which means “God my Judge;” now
Ids name is to be Belteshazzar, which
means “the treasurer of the god Bel."
Now you expect to see him overthrown
amid all these changed circumstances
Oh, no! Daniel started right, and ho
keeps on right. When l ibid what Dan
iel Is In Jerusalem, I am not surprised
to ttml what he is in Babylon. 1 wish
1 could write upon all parents’ hearts
the fact that early Impressions are
well nigh Ineffaceable. When I see Jo-
seph, a pious lad, In the house of his
father, Jacob, I am not surprised to
see him acting so nobly down in Egypt.
When I find Samuel, a pious lad, in the
house of ids mother, Hannah, I am not
surprised that he gives a terrible smit
ing to idolatry as soon ns he comes to
manhood. David planued the temple
at Jerusalem and gathered the mate
rials for Its building, but Solomon, the
son, came and put up the structure,
and that goes on in all ages. The fa
ther plans the character of the child
and its destiny for time and eternity,
then the son completes the structure.
You might as well put down a founda
tion ten feet by live and expect to rear
on it a great cathedral as to put down
a contracted character in a child’s soul
and yet rear upon it something exten
sively grand and extensively useful.
Let me say to those Christian parents
who are doing their best In the educa
tion of their children: Take good heart.
Your sons this moruing may be far
away from you and in a distant city,
but God, to whom you dedicated them,
will look after them. The God of Dan
iel will take care of them far away in
Babylon. “Train up a child in the way
he should go, and when ho is old lie
will not depart from it.” He may wan
der away for awhile and fall Into sin
and break your heart, but before lie is
(lone with his life, you, having com
mended him to God, he will come hack
again, for I put the emphasis in the
right place and on the word “old”
when I repeat that passage and say,
“Train up a child In the way he should
go, and when he is old he will not de
part from it.” May you all have the
glorious satisfaction of seeing your
children walk In paths of righteous
ness and peace! One with them on
earth, may you be one with them in
heaven!
KoNtrain Appetite.
But I learn also from this subject the
beauty of Christian sobriety. The meat
and the wine that were to come to
Daniel’s table were to come from the
king's table. Well, Daniel had no right
to take that food. The ki.ig was a
heathen and, like all the heathen, was
accustomed to ask a blessing before he
partook of food, and in that blessing
they always dedicated the food to the
gods. So that If Daniel had taken this
food lie would have broken the law
which forbade the taking of food dedi
cated to idols. He chose pulse. It was
a miracle that he did not dwindle
away. There is nothing in pulse, such
a poor herb, to make a man ruddy and
healthful. Some people talk as though
that were a kind of diet which would
make a man swarthy and competent to
do the duties of this life. That is not
the lesson at all. But for a positive
miracle Daniel would have dwindled
away, and when God, for his self de
nial. puts upon him this benediction he
puts a benediction upon all Christian
sobriety. I would not have you class
your preacher among those who would
put unnecessary restraints upon lawful
appetites. There are those in this day
who dispute the grant which God gave
to man for animal food, and they make
a religion of their hunger ns the Phari
sees expected heaven for their fasting.
Daniel did not always live on pulse.
He was not a Grahamite, he was not a
vegetarian. He went through that self
denial because the food offered him
was idolatrous food. Wheu I see God
lilling the earth with all varieties of
food, I have not much confidence In
the teaching of those who would put
us ou severe regimen. There are par
ents who, with a wrong theory !n tills
respect, deny their children all harm
less luxuries and without sufficient In
quiry send them out to hoarding
schools where their Intellects are cul
tured to the* disadvantage of their
starved bodies, so that from many a
hoarding school a class of 20 will grad
uate, 11) of them ghosts. Now, when 1
see the three angels eating the calf
which Abraham slew and when I And
Christ eating broiled fish even after
his resurrection I come to the conclu
sion that the theories of the vegetarian
are not, from a religious standpoint,
well founded.
Woes of Drunkenness.
But. oil, how many temptations to
dissipation! With so many things to
tempt the appetite how many tempta
tions to gluttony! With so many spar
kling beverages how much temptation
to drunkenness! Could I bring before
you tills morning the mothers and the
wives and the sisters who have wept
at th<> graves of the Inebriate your soul
would lie overpowered with the specta
cle. Could I show you the manly forms
robbed of their beauty, the eye flash
ings quenched in the wine cup, the rud-
dv cheek from which rum has wormed
the rose, your souls *uulil recoil witn
horror, and you would rise up and cry,
“Begone, thou dream of hell!”
Charles Lamb, who made all the
world laugh at his humor and then aft
erward made all the world weep at his
fate, who outwitted everybody and
w as at last outwitted of his own appe
tites, wrote thus: “The waters have
gone over me, hut out of the depths
could I lie heard I would cry out to all
those who have set a foot In the peril
ous flood. Could the youth to whom
the flavor of the first wine is delicious
us tin.* opening scenes of his life or the
entering upon some newly discovered
paradise could he look Into my deso
lation and lie made to understand what
a dreary thing it Is when a man shall
feel himself going down a precipice
with open eyes and u passive will; to
Bee ids destruction and have no power
to stop It, yet feel it all the way ema
nating from himself; to see all godli
ness empty out of him and yet not aide
to forget the time when it was other
wise; to hear about the piteous specta
cle of ills own ruin—could he see my
feverish eye, feverish with Inst night's
drinking and feverishly looking for to
night's repetition of that folly; could
he hut feel the body of the death out
of which I cry hourly with feeble out
cry to be delivered, Jt UCfo enough to
nintto litm flnsli tbr> npAYkllug iiercrngo
to the earth in all the pride of Its man
tling temptation.”
Are you fond of pictures? Here is
one drawn by Solomon: "Who hath
woe? Who hath sorrow? Who hath
contentions? Who hath babbling? Who
hath wounds without cause? They that
tarry long at the wine, they that go to
seek mixed wine. Look not thou upon
the wine when it Is red, when it mov-
etli itself aright In the cup. At the last
It blteth like a serpent and stlngeth
like an adder."
“Do you know what you are doing?”
said a mother who had broken into a
restaurant, the door locked against her,
her son Inside. She came up to the
counter and saw the man of the restau
rant mingling the Intoxicating cup for
her own son. She said to the man be
hind the counter, “Do you know what
you are doing?” “No,” said he; “I
don’t.” Says she, “You are fattening
graveyards."
Perils of StronR Drink,
I was told at Des Moines of a train
of cars going through a very stormy
night over one of the western prairies.
The young man who was present told
us the story. In the night there was a
little child in the sleeping ear, fretful
and worrying and crying hour after
hour. A man on the opposite side of
the car lost his patience and said, “Ei
ther make that child shut up or take it
to its mother!” Then another man on
the opposite side of the sleeping ear, a
man with a broken heart, pushed back
the curtain and looked out and said,
‘Young man, that child’s mother is
dead In the baggage car, and the little
tiling is wailing for her.” Then the
man who had committed the affront
rose and offered ids services for the
night and took care of the child until
the morning, and all the passengers in
the car were broken down with emo
tion. Oh, if the cry of one child could
arouse so many sympathies what ought
to be the effect of the ten thousand
voiced shriek of orphanage and widow
hood from the inebriate’s grave! God
save this country from the perils of
strong drink.
My subject also impresses me with
the beauty of youthful character re
maining incorrupt away from home. If
Daniel had plunged into every wicked
ness of the city of Babylon, the old
folks at home would never have heard
of it. If he had gone through all the
rounds of iniquity, it would have oast
no shadow on his early home. There
were no telegraphs, there were no rail
roads. But Daniel knew that God's
eye was on him. That was enough.
There are young men not so good away
from home ns at home. Frederick
tending his father's sheep among the
hills or thrashing rye in the barn is
different perhaps from Frederick on
the Stock Exchange. Instead of the
retiring disposition there Is hold effron
tery. Instead of an obliging spirit
there is perhaps oppressive selfishness.
Instead of open handed charity there is
tight listed stinginess. Instead of rea
sonable hours there is midnight revel.
I speak to many young men on this
matter—you who may have left your
father’s house and others who, though
still under the parental roof, are look
ing forward to the time when you will
go forth to conflict, alone In tills world,
with its temptations and Its sorrows,
and when you will build up your own
character. Oh, that the God of Daniel
might be with you In Babylon!
Beware of Temptation.
I think the most thrilling passage of
a young man’s life,Is when he leaves
home to make his fortune. The novel
ty and the romance of the thing may
keep him from any keen sorrow, but
the old people who have seen the de
struction of so many who have started
with high hope cannot help but be anx
ious. As long ns he was in his father’s
house his waywardness was kindly
chided, and although sometimes he
thought the restraint rather bitter and
rather severe In his calmer moments
he acknowledged it was salutary and
Gghteous. Through the Influence of
metropolitan friends the father has ob
tained a situation for Ids son in the
city. The comrades of the young man
come the night before his departure to
bid farewell to the adventurer. The
morning of his going away he walks
around the place to take a last look at
tilings, perhaps comes upon some ob
ject that starts a tear, some old famil
iar place, hut no one sees the tear. The
trunk is put upon the wagon, the
young man is off for the city. Ho is
set down amid excitements and amid
.’ssoeiates who are not overcareful
about their words and thoughts and
notions. Morning comes. No family
altar. Sabbath comes. No rural quiet.
The sanctuary comes, but all the faces
are strange, and no one cares whether
he comes to church or does not come.
On his way from the store he sees a
placard announcing a rare and a vi
cious amusement. He has no greeting
at the door of the boarding house. He
has no appetite for the food. No one
cares whether he eats or does not eat.
Rather he wduld not eat. It Is cheap
er. After the tea he goes Into the par
lor, takes up a book, linds It dull, no
sister to look over it with him. Goes
up stairs to ids room In the third story,
finds It cold and uninviting, and in de
spair he rushes out, caring for nothing
hut to get something to make him stop
thinking. Tie Is caught in the first
whirl of sin. Ho has started out on
the dark sea where the gleam of the
joy Is the Hashing of the pit and the
laughter is the creaking of the gate of
the lost. Oh, how many graves there
are In the country churchyard which if
they could speak would tell of young
Uien who went off with high hopes and
came hack blasted and crushed to dis
grace the sepulcher of their fathers.
And yet tlds exodus must go on. As
from distant hills the rivers are pour
ed down through tunnels to slake the
thirst of our great cities, so from dis
tant country places the streams of In
corrupt imputation must pour down to
purify our great cities. Tomorrow
morning on nil Die thoroughfares, In
•verj steamboat and in every rail car
will be young men going fortli to seek
their fortunes in our great towns. O
Lord God of Daniel, help them to be as
faithful In Babylon ns they were at Je
rusalem! Forget not, O my young
friend, In the great seaports the moral
and religious principles inculcated by
parental solicitude, and If today seated
In the house of God you feel the ad
vantage of early Christian culture
forget not those to whom you are most
Indebted and pray God that ns old age
comes upon them and the shadow of
death the hope of heaven may beam
through the darkness. God forbid that
any of us through our misconduct
should bring disgrace upon a father’s
Dame or prdVe recreant 16'the love of n
mother. The dramatist made no exag
geration when he exclaimed, “How
sharper than a serpent’s tooth it Is to
have a thankless child!” Oh, that God
would help you as parents and ns
young people to take to heart Die les
sons of this Important subject, and If
we shall learn that there is danger of
being carried Into captivity and that
early Impressions are almost Ineffacea
ble and that there Is something beauti
ful in Christian sobriety and Dint there
Is great attractiveness in piety away
from home, then It will be to you and
to me a matter of everlasting congrat
ulation that we considered how Daniel
behaved when he became a college stu
dent at Babylon.

The Urcat Cirous Day.
In almost every home and hamlet
the announcement of the coming to
Gastonia, Thursday Oct. 18th, and
Spartanburg on Friday Oct. l!Uh, of
the Adam Forepaugh and Sells Bro
thers union of big shows will be greeted
as tidings of great joy. Aside from its
national reputation it presents very
strong special proof to support its
claim of being the only big show in
America today. Since the Barnum
& Bailey show went to Europe it is
the only menagerie, circus and hip
podrome that has exhibited in New
York city, and the general metro
politan verdict, recorded by immense
audiences for two seasons at Madison
Square Garden, and in the press,
seems to be that it has ec'ipsed its
great and popular predecessor. The
World echoes the drift of public
opinion in pronouncing it “the big
gest circus that New York has ever
seen,“and what held good there will
doubtless be maintained in the coun
try at large, as the same attractions,
whether on four legs or two, on th*
earth or in the air, or water—and all
of them—will be as effectively pre
sented wherever the biggest tents on
earth are pitched. From start to
finish, from the magnificent street
parade to the last of the hippodrome
races, the exhibition is at once u co
lossus and a corker. There are acres
and acres of instruction, elation, fun
and wonder. Hours may be profita
bly and pleasantly passed in inspect
ing the largest and finest collection
of rarest wild beasts and birds. When
it comes to the circus and hippo
drome performances there appears to
be no limit to the thrills and tickles.
Hundreds of distinguished artists
and admirably trained animals par
ticipate in a hundred acts. Even
the very air is alive with wizard bi
cyclists, Hying sprites and trapeze
heroes and heroines, while in the
three rings below appear the nine
teen finest male and female bareback
riders of both Europe and America.
Intermingling with all this and fill
ing the very air with laughing gas
are clowns of all kinds and countries
to the number of twenty-five, whose
music, mirth and infinitely humor
ous hits and skits at current fads add
fashionable follies make tens of thou
sands hold their sides and hilariously
howl. As for the rest; well, you’ll
have to read the bills.

Dr. W. H. Lewis, of Lawrenceville,
Vu., writes, “I am using Kodol Dys
pepsia Cure in my practice among
severe cases of indigestion and find it
an admirable remedy.” Many hun
dreds of physicians depend upon the
use of Kodol Dyspepsia Cure in
stomach troubles. It digests what
you eat, and allows you to eat all the
good food you need, providing you
do not overload your stomach. Gives
instant relief and a permanent cure.
