RELlSi?N, MORALS AND PHILOSOPHY. Rev. C. O. BROWN, Editor. I **HE CABETH." XT X&bas8b fjlr3issha?. What cab it mean I Is it aught to Hin? That taeoigats are long and the days are dim? Can be he touched by the grieft I bear, Which sadden the heart and whiten the jbair? About fits throne are eternal calms, ' And strong, glad music of happy psalms, And bliss nn raffled by any strife Bow tan Be care for my little life ? And yet I want Bim to care for me Fhile I lire in this world where the sorrows be? When the lights die down from the path I J take Whe* strength is feeble, and friends forsake, WheiiloTeane music that once did bless Bat? left me to silence and loneliness, All my life-song chjpges to sobbing prayers Then mybeart cries oat for a God who cares. When shadows hang over the whole day long, When I am not good, and the deeper shade Of eonacMMts sin .makes my heart afraid, And th* hnsy world has too much to do To stay in. its course to help me through, And I long for a Saviour?can it be Tbat tfie God of the universe cares for me? Ob, wonderful story of deathless love ! Each child is dear to that heart above; Be tgbts for me when. I cannot fight, He comforts me in the gloom of night, Be lifts the-burden for He is strong, s He stills tts sigh and awakes the song ; The sorrow tint bows me down Be bears, And Bores and pardons becaase lie cares. Let all who are sad take heart again, j We are not alone in onr boors of pain ; Out Fa tber stoops from his throne above To soothe and quiet us with his love; ?e leaves us .not when tbe storm is high, And we have safety for be is uigb. 'Can it be trouble which be doth share ? Oh, rest in peace, for the Lord will care! ?Ckristian World. Qid-FasMoned Mothers. Tbadk God some of txs have an old fashioned mother. Not a woman of the period, enameled and painted, with her great chignon, her carls and bastle, ' whose white jeweled hands never felt tbe clasp of baby fingers; bat a dear old-fasbiohed, sweet-voiced mother with . eyes, in whose clear depth the love fight shone, and brown hair jast thread ed with silver, lying smooth upon her faded cheek. Those dear hands, worn with toil, gently goided oar totttering steps in childhood and smoothed our pillow in sickness ever reaching oat to , ns in yearning and tenderness. * Blessed is the memory of an old-fash ioned mother. It Boats to as now like the beactifal, perfume from some wood ed blossoms. The masic of other voices - may be lost, bat the entrancing mem ory of hers will echo in our souls for ever. Other faces may fade away and be forgotten, bat hers will shine on. When in tbe fitful pauses of basy life onr feet wander back to the old homestead, and crossing the well-worn threshold, stand once more io the room so hal lowed by her presence, how the feeling of childish innocence and dependence comes over as and we kneel down in tbe vollen sunshine streaming through the open windew?just where, long years [o, we knelt by onr mother's knee, " J *Oar Father.' How many when the - tempter lured us on, has the memory of those sacred hours, that1 mother's words, her faith and prayers saved as .from plunging into the deep abyss of sin. Years have fill ed great drifts between her and us, but they have not hidden from our eight the glory of her pure, unselfish love. . Something Beyond. An infidel who has been successful financially wrote above his office door the other day, 'Life is a failure if there is nothing beyond.' He had learned *. that earthly possessions are perishable and is appalled at tbe thought of sever ed ties. This fife is, indeed, the sad dest of all sad failures if it is the sum ?Tour being. We need an eternity; this life is enough for our differences and oar heartaches, but not enough for onr love; we need the never ending years that fie beyond. In our hearts of beasts we are glad because of the pro mise?'I go to prepare a place for .you,' In the fulfilment of that promise we shall hear again the pattern of the feet and the voices that were lost to us long ago. If silver hairs do not become brown or golden again 'over there,' it ; will not trouble us, for each face will be radiant with immortal youth. They Were all Poor Boys. An exchange recalls the following historical facts, which should encourage cevery young man struggling under dis eooragement and poverty: John Adams, second president was tbe second son of a farmer of very mod erate means. The only start be had was bis education. Andrew Jackson was bom in a log bat in North Carolina, and was raised in tbe piaey woods for which that State is famous. s James K Polk spent the earlier years of bis life helping to dig a living oat of a new farm in North Carolina. He was afterwards a clerk in a country store. Millard Fillmore was tbe son of a New York farmer, and bis house was a very bumble one. He learned the business of a clothier. James Buchanan was born in a small town among the Allegbany mountains. Bis father cut the logs and built his own bouse in what was then a wilder st tc n< 01 si S: o! y i ai P> St ef n< ei hi ol m al es n: k al o! ? tl P; tl n h P 1x1 & I* Abraham Lincoln was the son of a very poor Kentucky farmer, and lived in a log cabin until he was 21 years of ago. i Andres; Johnson was apprenticed to a tailor at tbe age of ten years by bis widowed mother. He was never able to attend school, and picked up all tbe education be ever got. * ? mm* In reference to the tripartite alliance it is stated that Germany, Austria, and Italy can together muster 1,318 battal-1 ions of infantry, 730 squadrons of cav alry, and 4,464 field guns while tbe fores of France and Russia together I amount to 1,339 battalions of infantry, j 620 squadrons of calvary, and 4,840 j field guns. Tbe tripartite alliance can , in as oet weigh the whole remainder of j P. Burial of the Chinese Baby. ] Little Furjfi: Oy, the five-year-old daughter of Wah Sing and his wife, who died the other day, was buried in the Evergreen Cemetery, New York, where the Chinese have a plot. The coffin rested on the ?oor, and Cba Lee, another little girl, stood at the head of the coffin looking at her sister's face which was almost hidden in slips of white paper. On the wall burned red candles which emitted a disagreeable odor which while Mr. and Mrs. Wah Sing nailed the plate on the coffin. Tn the first carriage were placed the coffin and . the clothes of the child, and in the second were the relatives and Gee Lung, a friend each carrying a large bag filled with scraps of paper bearing a few written words. In China the devil has a habit of racing to the grave and taking the body as soon as it ar rives, but the friends of the deceased throw out these slips of paper, and the ?evil, who is very curious stops to read them, so that the corpse generally reaches the grave before him- There was no exception to the rule yesterday, for if the devil stopped to read all the slips that were thrown out of the car riage he would have only reached the ferry when the mourners were return ing from the cemetery. At the grave a 5re was kindled and the girl's clothed burned, the relatives throwing a white powder into the fames which burned with a bluish light. A board was placed over the grave, on which the aame of the child was inscribed. Time Must be Found He who cannot find time to consult ais Bible will one day find he has time to be sick; he who has no time to pray nusfc find time to die; he who can find 30 time to reflect is most likely to find :ime to sin; he who cannot find ;ime for repentance will find an eterni :y in which repentance will be of no ivail; he who cannot find time to work or others may find an eternity in arhich to suffer for himself.?Hannah Moore. We must be earnest in the pulpit, )ecause we are earnest everywhere; we nust blaze in our discourse because we ire continually on fire. Zeal which is itored up to be let off only on grand oc casions is a gas which will one day de stroy its proprietor. Nothing but ruth may appear in the house of the !iOrd ;*all affectation is strange fire and 'zcites the indignation of the God of ruth. Be earnest, and you will seem o be earnest. A burning heart will oon find for itself a flaming tongue. >ham earnestness is one of the most onteroptible of dodges for courting pop ilarity; let us abhor the very thought. ?G. B. Spurgeon. The clergy of the Church of England tave very numerously signed a memo ial to the Prime Minister, in which hey protest against 'the deliberate emoval of the name of the Supreme be ng from the proposed form of affirma ion, for the purpose of admitting as a aember of Parliament an open and vowed atheist, who has admitted that e has no religious scruples, as being 'dishonoring to Almighty God, and ontrary to the spirit of our laws and on8titution " Why they Call Him "Old Man." ~ "Yes, that's sadly so," said Jenkins, "my air is turning gray and felling out before its tme. Use something ? I would, but most air restorers are dangerous," "True," an gered his friend, "but Parker's Hair Dalsam \ as harmless as it is effective. I've tried it, nd know. Give the Balsom a show and the oys will soon stop calling you "Old Man enkins." It never fails to restore the ord inal color to gray or faded hair. Richly erfumed, an elegant dressing. Now that tbey have gone to making steam oats of paper, isn't there a possibility that ie steamboat builders will get hold of so! mob that the shoemakers will be obliged to se all leather in their boots and shoes ? Let s pause befere we bring fresh calamity upon lis country. Songs Never Sung. "How does that vers# run ? Something ke this, isn't it? "There are who touch the magic string, And noisy fame is proud to win them: Alas ! for those who never sing, But die with all their music in them." "Yes, that's beautiful, pathetic and true," tid your representative. "The poet alludes > people who are somehow suppressed, aud iver get their full allowance of joy and air. rbich reminds me of a letter shown me the :her day by Hi3Cox & Co., of New York, gned by Mr. E. C. Williams, of Chapman, nyder Co., Pa., a prominent business man 'that place. He writes ; "I have suffered with Asthma for over forty jars, and b.id a terrible attack in December id January. 1882. I hardly know what rompted me to take Parkers Tonic. I did >, and the first day I took four doses. The feet astonished me. That night J slept as if olhing was the matter with me, and have rer since. I have had colds since, but no sthraa. My breathing is now as perfect as if I ad never known that disease. If you know "any one who has asthma tell him in my une that Parker's Tonic will cure it?even fter forty years.' There was a . man who ;caped the fate of those whom the poet la lents. This preparation, which has heretofore been nown as Parker's Ginger Tonic, will here "ter be advertised and sold under the name F Parker's Tonic. Inasmuch as ginger is sally an unimportant ingredient, and un rincipled dealers are constantly deceiving ?eir customers by substituting inferior pre- j arations under the name of ginger, we drop ! ie misleading word. There is no change, however, in the prepa ition itself, and all bottles remaining in the ands of dealers, wrapped under the name of arker'i Ginger Tonic contain the genuine ie-rcioe if the fac-simile signature of Hiscox ! Co. is at the bottom of the outside wrap sr. 1 1 Can Tell Yon How to Bs I Own Doctor!

Oct'n M CURS Disease is an effect, not a cause. Its origin is within ; its manifestations without. Hence, to cure the the disease the cause must be re mover* ^nd in no other way can a cure ever be effaced. WARNER'S SAFE KIDNEY AND LIVER CURE is established on just this principle. It realizes that 95 Per Cent. of all diseases arise from deranged kidneys and liver, and it strikes at o*nce at the root of the difficulty. The elements of which it is composed act directly upon these great organs, both as a food and restorer, and, by placing them in a healthy condition, drive disease and pain from the system. For the innumerable troubles caused by un healthy Kidneys, Liver and Urinary Organs; for the distiessing Disorders of Women ; for Malaria, and for physical derangements gen erally, this great remedy has no equal.
