Is It Any Use?
About fifteen years ago on a cold
and rainy day, I was called into the
vestibule of my bouse, to seo a man
who certainly looked like the worst
kind of a "tramp.' His clothes were
insufficient to cover him, they were
ragged and rotten. His feet were
swollen and bleeding, and a pair of
old soles tied on with rags were their
only protection. His face was bloated
and the odor of ram was strong in his
breath. Ho asked my help, on the
ground of having once been employed
at a hotel in a distant city, where I bad
been at one time a boarder. He pro
fessed to know men whom I could not
fail to know in that place, and he as
sured me that he bad been a trusted
employe and had good Touchers in a
trank in a pawn-shop. I
did not believe
Bis story, but he was sick and full of
sores, and wet to the skin, and penni
less, and but for my help apparently
helpless. So I sent for an offijer, and
get the poor fellow into Bellevae Hos
pital, where he lay for eight weeks
notH he was sobered, healed and strong
again. Then I clothed him, and found
him a situation,' where he could, and
did ?ara a living.
I fcad forgotton all about this case,
for it was only one of many that come
te a city clergyman every month. But
afcomi a year after, one bright day, as
my children were playing croquet upon
the lawn, they suddenly stopped, and
one rushed in, crying out,
" such an* awful & !"
fise, other said 'Papa, there's a poor
man out there, can't you help him?'
Use different utterances marked chiefly
a difference in experience of this wicked
world. The older one had learned
something of the daccption and trickery
of the procession of applicants for aid
at her father's door ; the younger one
saw only the evident misery and poverty
of the individual. I went on to the
lawn, and there, as badly off ?s before,
stood the man whom I bad helped to
decency and support, a year ago. He
was ragged and bloated and sick and
sore. Of course he was sent to the hos
pital again*, and in due time started
afresh in an honest business. He was
willing to work, be wanted to be a sober
and'respectable man, but he could not
keep from drinking. There was a ?re
in his bones, and it craved more and
more fuel continually when once it be*
gan to burn.
The interval was longer, bat he came
the third time, broken down, wretched,
good for nothing, so it seemed to me.
He plead, and promised, and was so
desperate in his entreaties for one more
trial, that in spite of my experience, and
in spite of my judgment, I determined
to trust him once more. I told him
that it would be of no use to start bim
again, but be protested that it would,
and as he almost kneeled before me, I
bade him promise to
ask god's help
to keep his word, if I helped bim again.
Once more clothed and in his right
mind be started at the work which be
could do and had done successfully. He
had promised to come and report to me
sow and then how he got on.
It was with small faith that I saw
him start for the third time to lead a
sober life. His past gave no ground
for hope, his business was wit hi easy
reach of temptation, he had no family,
and no friends in the world except my
self. At the end of six months he call
ed on me, and he bad
kept iiis pkomises.
He asked my permission to go for a lit
tle vacation to a place where he could
be treated for rheumatism, the result of
his drinking. He came back and re
sumed his work. A year passed, and
at Christmas be came and reported to
me that he was still sober, had paid all
that he owed, and had a decent suit of
clothes besides those which I had given
him. Two years passed, and at Christ
mas he came again, and asked if 1
would tell him of a saviogs bank where
he could put a little momey that he had
earned aod saved. I went with him
and be made his deposit. Every year
since then, he has come to report him
self to me, and to assure rae that he has
kept his promise faithfully. Last
Christmas he came into my office, a
handsome, ruddy, white-haired Eng
lishman, whom no one could have iden
tified with the poor drunkard who first
called on me fifteen years ago for help.
He bad more than one thousand dollars
in one savings bank, and an account
with nearly as much in another ; he was
well and industrious and contented.
There was a wcddiDg in the house
not long since, and the little girl who
years ago bad come running in from the
lawn, saying: "Papa, there's a poor
roan out there, can't you help him"?
was tbe bride. About- a week before
the wedding, the "poor man" came into
my office, and, after apologizing for the
call, modestly iiMjtitred the day when
tbe young laSj ~o>!d be married, and
aleo ber name. On the wedding day,
among many gifts there came a Beautiful
PACKAGE OF SILVER,
marked with the bride's name, and
with it a letter of gratitude, which only
one could write who knew that he had
been rescued from the mouth of hell.
Ke was at the church in a new suit,
with a rose in his button-hole, and he
told me the next day that it was the
happiest day of his life. I am sure that
he spoke the truth, and am ready to be
lieve that he will be steadfast to the end.
Is it any use to persevere in the ef
fort to reform the intemperate, to re
claim the vicious, to raise the fallen
and degraded? How often this question
comes up for answer in onr experience.
Many failures depress and dishearten us,
many cases of ingratitude and deception
arc hardening in their influence upon us,
many obstacles confroot and many hin
drances keep us back ; but one success
a each a desperate case gives us heart
of hope, one grateful man wipes
oat the record of a score of ingrates,
one sioner saved gives joy in Hea
ven, and if these things be so,
we may answer the question "is
it any ose," in the affirmative always,
and do with all oar skill and power tbe
work which God throws athwart oar
path in the journey of life.?Augustus

When Is Silence Golden?
That silence is golden has been ac
cepted as axiomatic by general con
sent, yet we are convinced that there
are many cases in which it is leaden,
copper, or alloyed with something
baser etili. Who does not know and
dread the exasperating silence of an
ger, harder to endure then the fierc
est blast of speech ? Who has not
witnessed the craven silence of cow
ardice, ashamed and afraid to cham
pion the weak or defend the absent ?
Who has not been baffled by th?
silence of reticence, which maintains
a sphinx-like attitude of mystery when
a few straightforward words would be
a boon, throwing light upon darkness
and showing you what to do ?
Silence is not golden when it falls
frostily upon the little ones, ignoring
their efforts lo pleaee, and showing
them practically that they are of
email account in the eyes of their pa
rente and teachers. What a pity it is
that we are so chary of praise when
praise is so often the oil which causes
the household machinery to work
without friction ? It is so easy for
some of us to blame, so hard to utter
the generous approval.
Silence is golden when we repress
the impatient word springing readily
to the lips, perhaps because we are
weary or anxious or disturbed about
our worldly affairs. Many a time a
hasty word cuts like the sting of a
lash, and not only does it hurt its vic
tim, but the memory of it wounds
jureelves long after the forgiving
friend or child has forgotten aH about
the occasion. And as there is much
pain which in this world we must
oear, why should we put ourselves to
needless torture ?
Silence is golden when trivial, ma
licious or vulgar gossip forms the
staple of conversation. If we can do
nothing else, we at least can show
5ur disapproval by taking no part in
Lhat which is malevolent cr unchris
tian.? Christian Intelligencer.
Let the Boys Help.
Why is it that the boys arc allow
sd to sit around a house doing nothing,
while their overworked mother is |
Bttuggling against nature and fate to .
?o the work ? j
Only the other day we saw three ]
large, able-bodied boys lounging |
about the house, not knowing what to ,
3o with themselves, while their moth- j
3 , tired and pale, was trying to do t
the work for a large family and com? <
pany alone. Not a boy's work to ,
lelp about the house ? Why not ? Is (
there anything about washing dishes
hat will injure bim or which he can
lot leatn to do well, or about making i
>eds, or sweeping, or setting the table, j
>r washing, or ironing, or cooking a I
jlain meal ? On the contrary, there is ]
such to benefit him in each work, the \
nost important of which is the idea (
that it isn't manly to let the "weaker 1
rceeeY' carry all the burdens, when
t is possible for strong, young hands
to help. 1
Most boys would gladly help in the *
louse if they were asked to do so, (
ind, were taught how to do the work {
properly. Many a smart boy wants <
?o help his tired mother, but doesn't
tnow how beyond bringing in the ?
wood and the water, and shovelling <
path through the snow. This done, 1
mo tells him to go and play while ;
ihn plods wearily on.
Not a boy's work ? For shame ?
?t is a positive harm to a boy's moral
character to allow him to think it
right to be idle while his mother is ]
daggering under her burdens. Let ]
:ho boys help, and those who can i, (
;et help "for love or money," as they ]
>ften write to us, will see their
troubles disappear.-Philadelphia

The Piedmont Exposition to be ?

successful results of agriculture, man
ufacturing, mining, mechanics, art and ,
the products of all kinds of skill, as ,
displayed iu exhibits gathered from the
Piedmont belt of the Southern States
especially, though exhibits will be re- ,
scived from other States also. The city
)f Atlanta has purchased the grounds,
*nd is erecting buildings which sre j
?xpected to surpass the Cotton Expo- ?
?ition in that city some years ago. ]
The exposition is expected to bo an- ;
Qua! in the future, and it starts off with ,
the finest prospect of success. Every :
State should lake an interest in it, and
particularly Virginia, the Carolinas and
Pennesse, whose interest in common
with those of Georgia it is intended
primarily to promote. Great crowds
iro expected to attend, and wide publi
2ity has been given to its attractive
features. President Cleveland and a j
part of his cabinet will be there during i

trip can be arranged for the money it
will cost, tbau a visit to Atlanta during

Campaigning.
Our Kentucky friends are at the
dawn of a fierce political campaign.
Four candidates for Governor, repre
senting respectively, the Prohibition,
Democratic, Republican and Union
Labor patties are presenting their
claims to the people at large. The
fight betweeu the Democrats and He
publicans is waxing warm over the
bloody issues of the late war.
How will these great national par<
ties survive after the recollection of
that desperate struggle has faded out
of the memory of its leaders ? What
the result of this complication will be
can not be forecasted at this time,
but the situation is precarious for the
old parties. It is claimed that Judge
Fox the candidate of the Prohibition
party will receive more than sixty
thousand votes. The result of this
election is necessarily fraught with
much interest, as it is the establish
ment of a precedent in the South.
If the prohibition party should carry
the election it would be, doubtless,
the beginning of a triumphant career
in tbe South. At all events, the
whiskey traffic will be virtually ruin
ed by this campaign, for if the candi
dates of the prohibition party are
elected the traffic will go and if they
fail to carry off the political honors
they will create a sentiment that will
prove fatal to the whiskey business
and: practically accomplish the pri
mary object of the prohibition move
ment.
The Augusta Chronicle of the 10th
instant, says : "Tbe hanging of Gov.
Gordon in effigy at Dalton, Friday, for
commuting the sentence of Holman,
found guilty of the murder of a young
woman under the most brutal and revolt
ing circumstances, cannot injure the
character of Governor Gordon, or re
flect upon his official conduct in the
eyes of his fello -citizens in other por
tions of tbe State. The people engaged
in this shameless proceeding bave dis
graced themselves. Gov. Gordon is
clothed by tbe Constitution with tbe
power he exercised in the case of the
condemned man. After the most care
ful and anxious investigation of every
Tact connected with this case he came to
the conclusion to commute Holman's
sentence to imprisonment for life. The
people of Dalton engaged in this dis
graceful insult to Governor Gordon
?iavc shown themselves unworthy and
lawless citizens of the State. Their
conduct is a reflection upon our civiliza
tion.
The Prince of Wales is popular be
cause he cultivates his popularity. He
is a perfect pink of politeness in all his
relations with the public. There is no
public cnterpriso of any merit which
sails in vain upon him for his personal
issistance. The Prince appears to rc
ilize that royalty in England is only
popular from the social and spectacular
standpoint. I have talked with any
lumber of intelligent Englishmen on
:hia subject. England in many respects
is a wonderfully free country, but tbe
;raditions of royalty arc so strong that
there is no knowledge how long the
people of this country will consent to
aear the enormous expense of maintain
ing the establishment of a hereditary
ruler. There are none so ignorant in
England who do not know that the roy
alties, so far as actual government is
sonccrned, aro mere figure-heads. One
prominent Englishman said the other
lay :
'Royalty continues to exist in Eng
land because it has become negative and
md too wise to attempt to thwart tbe
public. If the time should come when
Eogland had a king who should be am
bitious in a political way and who
should seek to promulgate a policy con
trary to public opinion, then it would
soon be seen how weak royalty is be
coming in this country. It would go
lown in an instant, with hardly a breath
)f warning.9
A considerable fall has taken place
in the price of cotton and a panic in
prices is looked for. Accounts from
the growing crop are simply faultless,
promising an out-turn exceeding all
precedent, probably reaching 7,500,?
)00 bales, or fully 500,000 more than
the largest grown. Where the prices
will drop to under such a supply the
nost sanguine are unwilling as yet
to predict. The general feeling is,
'stand from under." The yield of j
3,500,000 bales two years ago carried
:hc price of middling uplands, now
ileven cents a pound, down to eight
md thrce-quartor cents. Notwith
standing the very great increase in
consumption since then, it is assured
;hat the lower figure will be reached
igain as soon as the dangers, which
naturally surround a maturing crop,
shall have been safely passed.
'Tbe recent low prices of tobacco in
Kentucky arc said to have caused many
planters in that State to abandon its
?ultivation. The Danville Va., Times
publishes reports from bright tobacco
region indicating not more than half to
:wo thirds of a crop planted and less
:han half the usual quantity of commer
?ai fertilizers used. In view of the
?hort crop prices have advanced at least
'wenty-fivc per cent.' The experiment
}f tobacco planting in South Carolina
was a failure, not because tobacco could
not be successfully raised, but because
the bottom had fallen out of prices.
When the market becomes Grmer, the
experiment can be repeated with every
sbanco of success.

rn??*i?:??>'tr Letter. -
From Un "Albioni ', ExpreM.
For many year.; my wife liad been
the victim of nervous dyspepsia, of the
chronic, distressing and apparently in
curable type from which so many of her
sex suffer, languish and die. It was all
the worse because the tendency to it
was inherited. She had been under the
systematic treatment of many of the
best physicians in New York andBrook
lyn and elsewhere for twenty years with
only temporary relief. In fact, there
were few, if any, kinds of food that did
not distress her, so diseased, sensitive
and torpid were all the organs of diges
tion. The usual symptoms of dyspep
sia, with its concomitant ailments, were
all present?bad taste in the mouth,
dull eyes, cold feet and hands, the sense
of a load upon the stomach, tenderness
on pressure, indigestion, giddiness,
great weakness and prostration, and fu
gitive pains in the sides, chest and back.
I have often risen in the night and ad
ministered stimulants merely for the
sake of the slight and transient relief
they gave.
Intermittent malarial fever set in,
complicating the case and making
every symptom more pronounced and
intense. By this time the pneumo
gastric nerves had become very seri
ously involved, ano she had chronic
Gastritis, and also what I may be al
lowed to call chronic intermittent ma
larial fever all at once. For the latter
the physicians prescribed the good, old
fashioned, sheet-anchor remedy, Quin
ine gradually in creasing the doses, until
-^-incredible as it may seem?she actu
ally took thirty grains a day for
days in succession. This could not
last. The effect of the quinine was,
if possible, almost as bad as the two
fold disease which was wearing away
her strength and her life. Quinine
poisoning was painfully evident, but
the fever was there still. Almost every
day there came on the characteristic
chill and racking headache, followed
by the usual weakness and collapse.
About this rime I met socially my
friend Mr. Norton, a member of the
firm of Chauncey Titus & Company,
brokers, of Albany, who, on hearing
from me these facts, said : " Why, I
have been through almost the same
thing, and have got over it." * What
cured you?" I asked eagerly. "Kas
kine, " he said, u try it for your wife. "
I had seen Kaskine advertised, but had
no more faith in it than I had in saw
dust, for such a case as hers. Mrs.
Hall had no higher opinion, yet on the
strength of my friend's recommenda
tion I got a bottle and began its use
as directed.
Now recall what I have already said
as to her then condition, and then read
what follows: Under the Kaskine
treatment all the dyspeptic symptoms
showed instant improvement, and the
daily fever grew less and soon ceased
altogether. Side by side these diseases
vanished, as side by side they had tort
ured their victim for ten years?the
dyspepsia alone having, as I have said,
existed for twenty years. Her appetite
improved from week to week until she
could eat and-tligest the average food
that any well person takes, without any
suffering or inconvenience. With re
newed assimilation of food came, of
course, a steady increase in flesh, until
she now looks like her original self.
She still takes Kaskine occasionally,
but with no real need of it, for she is
well. I consider this result a scientific
miracle, and the w New Quinine " is en
titled to the credit of it, for from the
time she began with Kaskine she used
no other medicine whatever.
If you think a recital of these facts
calculated to do good you are welcome
to make them public.
