Are the boy and girl who in childhood died. Devotion. The measure of our attach ment to any. cass? or to any indi? id hal, is the rapine which wegwill voluntarily and wnhnssed "by" surrotrat?ings make for &ai cause or individual. The devotion of a parent for a.child ts demonstrated i by thewilHogsacri?ces which the pa? .ent is ready to make for the child. Io this way we softy test our devotion to t?? cause of Jesus Christ. We hare only to ask ourselves the question, NWbat sacrifi?e am I willing to make | ipr the spread of the gospel V iu- order that we may learn our devotion to Jesus Christ. ^^Our devotion to some things* ia often so great that it cannot he esti ssaSeC : We have no standard by which totoeasure it. For that thing upon m which we centre our affections we are* ready and willing to make very great -aacrifices ; but lor that thing upon wjbicb our affections are not set we are ;no willing to make an j sacrifices or uo K wa really desire to know whether or Bot we love the Lord Jesus Christ toe knowledge is certainly attainable, j*t least to a satisfactory degree. What direct sacrifice are we willing to make lor ?heeauae which is Christ's? How much money will wc give to support th? war which Jesus Christ is waging against the Prince of Darkness ? If (?o?h?t not given ns the money, are lg to. take the place,of a private ia, the rank? of the army of the king, endure trials and afflictions ? We ask ourselves the question which ts asked Peter. We may say to soul, 'Lovest thoa Jesus more than v e vidence of our devotion to Jesus Qtriat is painfully little, even in the j of those whose devotion is greatest ; and in the multitude it is not discern?- j We by mortal eyes. Had Jesus Christ j not known alf things, be could not j have known that Peter loved him. On j the contrary, there was much and !1 strong evidence that he did not love j bim. It is to he hoped that the devo- j tion of the many to Jesus Christ is real? ly greater than it appears to be. If it | ia not, certainly only a few will be saved. When Noah and his family, together wuh all the animals "which God deter? mined to save, bad entered the Ark, we are.told 'the Lord shut him io.' Our Lord and Saviour, in describing, by ^ . the parable, usually called 'the parable - of the ten virgins/ the consommation of ail things, say s that so soon as the bridegroom and his attendants had en? tered the house4the door was shut. The door-bolt that secured Noah and bis household from tue overwhelming waves* sf the flood shut the rest of the human family out aod made their ruin certain. The latch, thai shut the wise virgins in shut the foolish virgins ont. What an important lesson we may learn from this : The ordinary means of grace will be the savor of life unto j some, and tho savor of death uoto j others. The sermon that . savingly j converts one soul is the innocent occa- j ?on of hardening some other soul inj Sin. Neglect of duty terminates io ba- j tred for God and all that is good. ! Mercies despised are kindled into born- j ing coals which torment but do not - consume the soul. There is something j dreadful in the thought of being bau- j 4 isbe? tfrom nor homes, from our friends, : from our family, and from our country, j bot words do notesist nor cnn they be ! framed'which will fully express all that ! . is meant by the words, 'shut out from God's mercy.' The language o? the shut out is'not articulate words, but .weeping and wailing and gnashing of Let it never be forgotten that the door that shots the righteous np safely in God's favor and friendship, and finally in Heave?, where there are plea ?WS forever inore, shots, the wicked S^?& to wander io darkness and de Shut Oat. Deat?t It is remarkable that the h tim SD fam? ily generally think so little about that which' most concerts them. We all treat ourselves as a nurse is accustomed to treat a child. We direct our atten? tion from those subjects which are like? ly to disturb us. There is no subject about which we think so carelessly as death. This is strange. Seldom does a week pass but the fact that the human fatuity are rapidly passing off this stage of existence aud entering upon another is demonstrated before our eyes. We admit the truth of the statement that all naen must die, but the fact produces only a slight effect upon us, and that effect is only for a moment. We see the lifeless body of a fellow-being laid in the grave; we watch while that body is being covered np with the sod, and then tam away with a smile, as if the whole performance had been a precon? certed farce. Why is this? Is death a thing un? worthy of our thoughts? Such cannot be the case. Ko one can dwell long upon the thought that his body must, in a few years, grow old, and by a pro? cess of decay which he cannot arrest, become a stinking mass and not feel sad. Separations are painful, but no separations aro so great as those made by death. Families are broken up and no breach^ caused by death will ever in this world, be repaired. A painful sadness possesses the soul of him who gates upon the dilapidated walis of the house w which he was born, but very few are even serious al? though conscious that the tenement in which their immortal soul resides is fast .?rumbling to fuio. In some respects this is well enough, Gol in bis goodness causes us to for? got those sore griefs through which we are sometimes called to pass. Hope springs immortal io the human breast, although it frequently has no real foun? dation on which to rest. But for this fact life would not be endurable, and this world be a valley of tears. That which gives death its impor? tance is not .the accident that it tempo? rarily separates the soul from the body, but the fact that it fixes the final desti? ny ofboth soul and body. Life is not a period of probation, but of merciful visitation. Death puts an end to this. At death God ceases to make offers of peace and pardon. In the bosom of the right eon s hope ceases, because faith becomes fruition ; in the bosom of the wicked hope dies anc^; despair takes its place. .What does Satan pay you for swear? ing ?' asked one gentleman of another. 'Be don't pay me anything,' was the reply. 'Well, you work cheap, to lay aside the character of a gentleman to inflict so mncb on your friends and civil people to suffer, and lastly to risk losing you ow? precious soul, and all for nothing. ?RH^oertain?y work cheap -very cheap jpdeed.'. Most of the beatitudes which infi? nite compassion pronounced have the sorrow of earth for their subject, but the joys of heaven for their comple? tion. If yon have any experience that is too precious to be shared with your fel? low believers," you have gone beyond your Lord. Freely receive, freely Polishing the Wrong End. Many men daily polish their boots who never give a thought to the condition of their bair, except to harrow it casually with brash and comb, or submit it to the paraly? zing attentions of the average barber. What happens? Why, trna: Fre?a neglect, mental anxiety, or any of a score of causes, the bair turns prematurely gray and begins to fall out. Parker's Hair Balsam will at once stop the tatter process and restore the original euler. ? An elegant dressing, free from grease. Pnt a Brand on Him. "Women are a necessary evil," he said, bringing down his Sst hard on the counter to emphasize the heartless remark, lt was in the village store at West Milton, Saratoga Couuty, and the speaker was the central figure of a pro up of bucholic philosophers. He waa homely, slovenly and sixty. "There's where I differ from you altogeth? er," said Mr. George T. Graham, of the same place. "Women are mostly "what men make 'em. When husbands are brotes wives will fall into submission or make heme hot for the men ; and they're unnatural in either charac? ter. Lore them, and especially lie good to them when they're sick, and you'll have no trouble. There's my own wife, now. She's suffered a good deal with dyspepsia, nervous prostration and other ailments that took the bloom off her cheeks and the spring out of ber steps. Well, she saw an advertisement of Parker's Tonic, and thought it would be just j the thing for her case. Gentlemen, I seat j five miles after a bottle. She took it. 1 sent ! again after more So several times. Trou We? Why, if yon could see how much good il has done her you would say that women ! are the greatest of God's blessings, and ! Parker's Tonic is the next.' This preparation, which bas been known as J Parker's Ginger Tonic, will hereafter be j called simply Parker's Tonic. This change bas been rendered necessary by substitutes j imposed upon their customers by unprinci- j pied dealers under the name of gintrer ; and J as ginger is really an unimportant flavoring ingredient, we drop the misleading word. There is no change, however, in the pre? paration itself, and al! bottles remaining in the bands of dealers, wrapped under the name of Parker's Ginger Tonic contain the genuine medicine if the facsimile signature of Hiscox ?

Hence, to core tho the disense the cause must be re? moved, and in no other way can a cure ever be effected. WARNER'S SAFE KIDNEY AND LIVER CURE is established on just this principle. It realizes ?bat . 95 Per Cent. of all diseases aris? from deranged kidneys and liver, and it strikes at once 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 aad Urinary Organ?; for the distressing Disorders of Women ; for Malaria, and for physical derangements gen? erally, this great remedy has no equal.
