RELIGION, MORALS AND PHILOSOPHY. Rev. C C. BROWN. Editor. A MOTHER'S LOVE. -o Purer than tbe purest gold, A thousand times, a thousand fold, Stronger than the strongest chain Ever forged by might and main, Swifter than the lightning's dart "When it cleaves ihe air apart. What is th's so pure and strong To which such swiftnsss does belong? The holiest from Ged above To man on earth, "a mother's love." -Krai. GENTLE INFLUENCES. -o Viol?is ia the leaScst sba?e7 Bj their odors are betrayed : Soft winds, over flower-fields blown, By their fragrant breath are known ; Pew, by freshened leaves confessed. Wets unseen earth's slumbering breast : j Rills, from ont the bleak hill-side, Swell to rivers deep and wide : Rivers flowing fast and free, Widen to the boundless sea : j Ail great things that move the earth, To gentle issues owe their birth ; And soft icSueace still is best, ? Fringing comfort, love and rest. Sweet domestic love is strong Leads to right and warns from wrong : J Kindly whispers mightier prove, Ana to loftier action move, Than the fretful voice of scorn, Of contempt and anger born. - Chambers' Journal. ? A Mother's Duty. - i Consider it your religious duty to ; take out-door exercise- without fail each j day. Sweeping and trotting around ! the house will not take its place ; the j exhilaration of the opea sir and change j of scene are absolutely neccessary, 0, ! I know all about Lucy's gown that is j not finished, and Tommy's jacket, and even his coat-his buttonless coat j thrown into your lap, as if to add the j last straw to the camel's back ; still I j say, "up and out/' Is it not more im- j portant that your children, in their j tender years, should not be left mother- j less, and that they should not be born 1 to that feeble constitution of body j vhich will blight crery blessing ? Let ! buttoos and strings go. You will take j hold of them with more vigor when you j return, bright and refreshed, and if ! ?very stitch is not finished at such a ; moment, still remember that 'she who j - hath done what she could/ is" entitled ! io no mean praise. Your husband is j ?undoubtedly the best of men, though j there are malicious people who might j answer that that was not saying much ; for him. Still, he would never, to the ! end of time, dream what yos are dying ! of. So accept my advice, and take the j ^matter in hand yourself.-A non I The One Safe Way. The pilot of a United States ret* ; ' enue cutter was asked if he knew ail j : the rocks along the coast where he ! . sailed. He replied : 'No, it is only j ? necessary to know where there are ! tno rocks." These" words suggest a! -deep moral and spiritual truth. Ser-j : mons, lectures, and books abound on | ?i the temptations which lie along the , ?^.course of the young to eternity. Over j : the most dangerous ones are lifted the j1 ? solemn notes of repeated warning. ! '"This is well. And yet how much mote j1 'frequently does the Word of God pre- = 1 sent and enforce, with all the urgency I of motion love can suggest, the very ; ? truth contained in the "pilot's answer j -'the King's highway of holiness.' j Looking unto Jesus with simple faith, the soul is secure ; whatever the perils j that lurk on every hand, there are no i '? rocks ahead. Domestic Christianity. In a Christian family of our acquaio- j ? tance a servant came to the door of ! * the lady one afternoon and said ; :, *W.hatis there for me to do now?' 'Go I ' up stairs and rest," answ ered the lady, j The girl looked hurt and went away, j. Months afterward she said when she ''? came to know the lady better: 'I j .thought you were displeased with me ' on that day. Nobody CVCF told me to re?t before, in all thc years I have been i ? in service.' The servant giri had caught a glimpse of true Christian I thoughtfulness.-Gongrcjat?onaUsb. On Listening to evil Reports, ! The longer I live the more I feel the ; importance of adhering to the rules I ! have laid down fer myself in relation to j such matters: 1. To hear as little as! possible to the prejudice of others. 2 To believe nothing of the kind till I ; am absolutely forced to it. 3. Never to drink in thc spirit of one who cir? culates an iii report. 4. Always to moderate, as far as I can, the unkind- ; ness which is expressed toward others. 5. Always believe that if thc other side were heard a very different ac? count would be given of the matter. It is a poor picture of an apple tree ihat needs to be labe?iec 'Apple tree,' j It is a poor statue or portrait of any j one that needs a card attached to tell j people what and whom it is meant to ' represent Or else, if it is a good representation and still needs such an explanation, it augurs a very ignorant class of spectators. Why is it then ; that so many Christians- seem to im- ; agine that they have to label them- j selves as such by constant talk about ! their religion, their conscience, their . faith, their piety in general : They must bc poor specimens of the image ; of God who need this.- Thc Mora- ' xian. - BM - Religion slips through some people's fingers ns rapidly as ill gotten money, j An old Scotch minister told his con? gregation the truth when he said, j 'Brethren, you are just like the duke's j swans in the lake yonder. Vou come to church every Sabbath and L lave ! you all over with thc Gospel water, ! and I pour it upon you until you are almost drowned with it ; but you just gang awa hame, and sit down by your , fireside, gie ycur wings a bit o'flap, and j you are just as dry us ever again.' A Quaker gc'itleman, riding in a cur- ; liage with a fashionable lady decked with a piofusio-u ?if jewelry, heard her i complain of the cold. Shivering in her j lace bonnet aad shawl, as light as a cob- j web., hue exclaimed, ''What shall I do ; to? get warm ?" "I really don't know," ? replied the Quaker, solemnly, "unless \ thee should put on another breast-pin !" j - i- -- Coiiee drinkers should read the advertise- . TAat io another column headed Good Coffee* 1 Effects of a Hymn in a ( bling den. A Hong Kong correspondent Boston New* tells an interesting dent. He bad been entrusted packages for a young man fror friends in the United States, and af quiry learned that he might pr< be found in a gambling house. H< thither, but, not seeing him, dot? ed to wait, in the expectation th might come io. The place was ; lam of noise-men-getting angry their cards and frequently conni blows. Near him sat two men young thc other forty years of They were betting and drinking in rible way, the elder one giving anees continually to the foulest prof Two games had been finished, am young man losing each time, third game, with fresh bottl brandy, had just began, and thc j man sat lazily back in bis chair, the elder shuffled the cards ant young man, looking carelessly the room began to hum a tune, began to sing that beautiful c Phoebe Cary's: "One sweetly solemn thought Comes to me o'er and o'er, Fin nearer to my Father's house Than I've ever been before. "Nearer the bound of life, Where we lay our burdens down, Nearer leaving my cross, Nearer wearing my crown." At first, says the writer, these v in such a vile place made me shut A Sabbath-school hymn in a garni den ! But while the young man s the elder stopped dealing the ca staring at the singer a moment, throwing the cards on the floor, claimed : 'Harry, where did you learn tune V 'What tune ?' 'Why the one you have been s iog.' The young mao said that he did know what he had been singing, v, the elder repeated the words, with t in his eyes, and the man said he learned them in a Sunday-School America. 'Come/ said the elder, getting 'come, Harry ; here's what I've from you ; go and use it for some g purpose. As for me, as God sees I've played my last game and dr my last bottle. I have missed 3 Harry, and I am sorry. Give me v hand, my boy, and say that for America's sake, if for no other, you quit this infernal business.' The writer says those two men the gambling-house together and wt away arm-in-arm. Jelly from Ivory. The last salo of ivory at Ln pool was the largest which has tal place for a long time. Manufaetut who were present toll us that prices' realized showed an advai from 20 shillings to SO shillings hundred 'weight. All tho lots w sold. There frere buyers, not 0 from the .English towns, but fr America and thc continent. Ivon very largely used in the Shefth trades, more especially for handli cutlery of ali kinds. The demand billiard and bagatelle balls, as well for piano keys, has greatly increas of late years. One leading cutio house made a calculation, some tit ago. suggested by a question put a "visitor. They estimated that supply themselves with the ivory th needed for the handles of their cutlet etc, they needed 1,2S0 elepha tusks every year, and that even the basis that each tusk weighed 23 c pounds. In a magazine the qucsti was recently put : What becomes the ivory waste?" There is no ivo waste. In the cutting of the ivo thc powder which comes away is so for making* jolley. It has long be< used abroad, and is now gettii pretty well known in England, is sold at four pence per pound, mat up into parcels, and is regarded as ? excellent material for making jell particularly in the country, whe ealves feet are not always pro?urab whe;? required. What our Great Capitalisl Are Doing. (Springfield Kcpublican.) The exposure of the dishonorab sliyster?ig which a clique offamot New York financiers make their dail practice in the amassing of wealth Iii not merely a morai aspect, but also significant relation to our material d< vfefopaient. Jay Gould, Cyrus YV Field and Russell Sage are grer. American capitalists. They have gre?; wealth iii themselves, and they ca command, if they be honest, uni imite credit. Mr. Gould is a man of vas acquisitions rather than of enterprise though in stringing together hts greu lines he builds a good many miles 0 new road. Cyrus W. Field is th* niau whose inventive genius and in dtfatigable spirit led to the first At iaiit?c cable; and yet he is swapping watered stocks to-day in New Yuri city, while Englishmen lay cable afte cable and open new communication; with fine markets fur English goods There was a time which Russell Sagt aird the rest of these men remember when Ann rican enterprise built thc Panam* Railroad and orojected ; cana: across the same strait. Wm. Ii. Vanderbilt is the heir of ? great public werk. Ile buys Meisso titers, but does not develop thc country or the Continent, and prac tica! though he is, he linds business a bore. There used to be great mer? chants and ship owners who tonk pride in their number of ships on thc sea. These are now outstripped by railroad kings who are great, not by enterprise, but l>y foreclosure, while few capitalists care to take Roach tit his word and start American steam? ship lines. Even the rich men o? California, where TO shillings a ton is the usual freight rate for wheat to Liverpool, conn; over to New York and gamble in wheat or paper rags called stocks. Spreckles, the San Francisco Dut -hinan, who has actually seized thc opportunity to build up a great shipping trade between Iii at port and the Sandwich Islands, seems to have lost caste by it, as though he had done something disreputable. We hear of English men, Frenchmen and Germans poshing out lines of commerce and enterprise all over this Continent and the world ; but. where ate the Americans'/ if we except Mexico, where we are at last laying some railroads, we seem to be doing nothing. Aro we the enterprising people wc boast ourselves to bc, or are we falling into a kind of poor "swap dc boss'' substitute for enter? prise ? EXCITEMENT IN ROCHESTER. The Commotion Cansetl hy the State? ment of a Physician, j An unusual article from the Kochester X. j Y.. Democrat and Chronicle, was repub I lished in this paj er and was a subject of much ' conversation both in professional circles and j on the street. Apparently it caused even j more commotion in Rochester, as the foliow I lng from the same {?aper shows : j Dr. J. B. Henton, who is well-known not ! only in Rochester but in nearly every part of j America, sent an extended article to this ? paper, a few days since which was duly pub ? lished, detailing his remarkable experience j and rescue from what seemed to be certain I death. It would he impossible to enumerate the personal enquiries which have been made at our office as to the validity of the article, but they have been so numerous that further investigation of the subject was deemed an editorial necessity. With this end* in view a representative of this paper called on Dr. Henion, at his resi? dence ou St. Paul Stret-r. when the following interview occurred : "That article of yours, Doctor, has created quite a whirlwind. Are the statements about the terrible condition you were in, and the way you were rescued such as you eau sustain ?" "Every one of them and many additional ODes. Few people ever get so near the grave as I did and then return, and I am not sur? prised that the public think it marvelous. It was marvelous." "How in the world did you, a physician, come to be brought so low ?" "Hy neglecting the first and most simple symptoms. I did not think I was sick; It is true I had frequent headaches ; felt tired most of the time; could eat uothing one day and was ravenous the next; felt dull indefinite pains and my stomach was out of order, but j I did not think it meaut anything serious." j "But have these common ailments anything i todo with the fearful Bright's disease which took so firm a hold on you ?" "Anything? Why, they are the sure indi- j cations of the first stages of that dreadful j malady. The fact is. few people know or realize what ails them, and I am sorry to say ; that roo few physyciaos do cither." "That isa strange statement. Doctor." "Dut it is a true one. The medical profes- j sion have been treating symptoms instead of diseases for years, and ii is high ti me it ceased. ! We doctors have been clipping off the twigs j when we should strike at the root. The j symptoms I have just mentioned or any ! unusual action or irritation of the water chau- ' nels indicate the approach of Bright's disease j even more than a cough announces the coming j of consumption. We do not treat the cough, j but try to help the lungs. We should not j waste our time trying to relieve the headache, j stomach, pains about the boJy or other symp- j toms, but go directly to the kidneys, the I source of most of these ailments." "This, then, is what you meant when you : said that more than one-half the deaths which j occur arise from Bright's disease, is it Doc- j tor? "Precisely. Thousands of so-called diseases j are torturing people to-day. when in reality it is Bright's disease in some one of its many forms. It is a Hydra-headed monster, and the slightest symptoms- should strike terror to every one who has them. I can look back and recall hundreds of deaths which physicians declared at the time were caused by paralysis, appoplexy, heart disease, pneumonia, malarial fever and other common complaints which I see now were caused by Bright's disease." "And did all these cases have simple symp? toms at first?" "Every one of them, and might have been cured as I was by the timely use of the same remedy-Warner's Safe Kidney and Liver Cure. I am getting my eyes thoroughly opened in this matter and think 1 am helping others to see the facts and their possible danger also. Why, there are no end of truths bearing on this subject. If you want to know more about it go and sec Mr. Wanter himself. He was sick the same as ?, and is the healthiest man in Rochester to day. He has made a study of this subject and can give you more facts than lean. Go, ton, aud see Dr. Lattimore, the chemist, at the University. If you want facts there are any quantity of them showing the alarming increase of Bright's disease, its simple and deceptive symptoms, and that there is but one way by which it can bc escaped." Fully satisfied of the truth and force of the Doctor's words, the reporter bade him good day and called on Mr. Warner at his estab ment on Exchange street. At first Mr. Warner was inclined to be reticent, but learn? ing that the information desired was abont the alarming increase of Bright's disease, bis mauner changed instantly and he spoke very earnestly : "It is true that Bright's disease has in? creased wonderfully, and we find, by reliable Statistics, that in the past ten years its growth bas been 2?Q per cent. Look at the promi uent men it has carried off: Everett, Sumner, Chase, Wilson, Carpenter, Bishop Haven and other?. This is terrible and shows a greater grow.h than that of any other known com? plaint. lt must be plain to every oue that something must be done to check this increase or there is no knowing where it may end." "Do you think many people are afflicted with it to-dav who do not realize it, Mr. Warner?" "Hundreds of thousands. I have a strik? ing example of this truth which has just come to my notice. A prominent professor in a New Orleans medical college was lecturing before his class on the subject of Bright's dis? ease. He had various fluids under microscop? ic analysis and was showing the students what the indications of this terrible malady were. In order to draw the contrast between healthy and unhealthy fluids he had provid? ed a vial the contents of which were drawn; from his own person. 'And now, gentlemen,' he said, 'as we haye seen the unhealthy indi? cations, I will show you how it appears in a state of perfect health,'and he submitted hts own fluid to the usual test. As he watched the result Iiis countenance suddenly changed -his color and command both left him and : in a trembling voice he said : 'Gentlemen, I j have made a painful discovery : /have Bright's ; disease of the kidneys,' and in less than a' year he was dead." "You believe then that it has no symptoms j of its own and is frequently unknown even j by the person who is afflicted with it?" "It has no symptoms of its own and very ? often none at al!. Usually no two people ! have the.same symptoms, and frequently death j is the first symptom. The slightest indications j of any kidney difficulty should be enough to ? strike terror to any one. I know what I nra talking about for I have been through all the i stage? of kidney disease." "Von know uf Dr. Ilenion's case?" "Yes, I have both read and heard of it." j "It is very wonderful is it not?" "A very prominent case but no more so thau i a, great many others that have come to my j notice as having been cured by the same j means." "You believe then that Bright's disease can be cured?" : "I know it can. I know it from thc cxperi- j cn ce of hu ad reds of prominent persons who ? were given up to die by both their physicians j and iVh.'tids." "Von speak of your own experience, what j was it ?" "A fearful ono. I had felt languid and un- I fitted tor business for years. But I did not know- what ailed me. When, however, 1 ' found it was kidney difficulty I thought there was little hope and so did the doctors. I have since learned that one of the physicians of this i itv pointed me out lo a gentleman on the street one day, saying : "'liiere goes a man who will bc derol within a year.' I believe his words would have proven true if I had not fortunately secured and used the remedy now known as Warner's Safe Kidney and Liver Cure." "And this caused you to manu'acture it?" "Xo, it caused me to investigate. I went to thc principal cities willi Dr. Craig the dis? coverer, and saw thc physicians prescribing and using it .md saw that Dr. Craig was un? able with his facilities, to supply the med? icine t-> thoux'-.tid? who wanted it. I therefore determined, as a duly 1 (..wed humanity and the-suffering; Utbring it within their reach and now it is known in every part of Ameri? ca, is sob! in every drug store and has become a household necessity " The reporter left Mr. Warner, much im? pressed with thc earnestness and sincerity ci Ids statements and next paid a visit, to Dr. S.A. Lattimore at his residence on I Vi ncc Street. Dr. Lattimore, altin.ugh busily f.*11 gaged upon sotite malters connected with thc State Board of Health, of which he is one of the analysts, courteously answered the ques? tions that were propounded him : "Dui you make :i chemical analysis of thc case of Mr. IL H. Warner some three years ago. Doetor? "Yes, sir." "What did this anal vri." show you?" "The presence of albumen and tube casts in great abundance.'' "And what ?lid the symptoms indicate?" "A serious disease of the Kidneys.'' "Did you thin": Mr. Warner could recover?' "No, ?L-, I did not think it possible, ft ? was seldom, indeed, that so pronounced a j case had, up to that time, ever been cured." "Do you know anything about the remedy ! which cured him ?" ! "Yes, I have chemically analyzed it and ! upon critical examination, find it entirely I free from any poisonous or deleterious sub j stances/' We publish the foregoing statements in i j view of the commotion which the publicity of ; Dr. Henion's article has caused and to meet j the protestations which have been made. The j standing of Dr. IleDion, .Mr. Warner and Dr. I Lattiniore in the community is beyond ques- ! j lion and the statements they make, cannot ; ; for a moment be doubted. They conclusive- j j ly show that Bright's disease of the kidneys j is one of the most deceptive and dangerous of ! all diseases, that it is exceedingly common, j alarmingly increasing and that it can be cured. j Carolina's Success at the Exposi? tion.
