A Hymn for Children.
The morning bright,
With rosy light,
Has waked me from my sleep :
Father, I own
Thy love alone
Thy little one doth keep.
All through the day,
I humbly pray,
Be Thou my guard and guide;
My sins forgive,
And let me live,
Blest Jesus, near Thy side.
0, make Thy rest
Within mv breast,
Great Spirit of all grace 1
Make me like Thee,
Then shall I be
Preserved to see Thy face.
God is in the Shadow.
“Tell me, little Harebell,
Are you lonely here,
Blooming in the shadow,
On this rock so drear,
Clinging to this bit of earth,
As if in mid-air,
With your sweet face turned to me,
Looking strangely fair?
“Are you never weary
Os this darksome mold,
Where no sunlight fulletb,
Where ’tis bleak and cold ?
Why you look so happy,
Sure I cannot tell:
I-would learn thy seciet,
Pretty, bright Harebell.”
“ Lady,” said the wild flower,
Nodding low its head,
“Though this spot seems dreary,
Though the sunlight ’a fled,
Know that I’m not lonely.
That I ne’er despair:
God is in the shadow—
God is everywhere!”
—The Sabbath at Home.
Cheerful Texts.
“ Papa,” said Annie Clifford, as she stood
tapping the window pane, after tea, “1 think
1 have heard you preach from that text, ‘ Take
no thought for the morrow yet here you are
actually worrying yourself sick over future
troubles, which after all may be of the imag
ination.”
“ I wish I could think so, Annie,” answered
the minister wearily, “ but troubles seem to
thicken around us. There is no flour in the
barrel, and no money in the purse. Only this
morning I gave drunken Jem Manning,s aged
mother the last dime I had, and now I have
not money enough to buy a quire of paper
for my next sermon.”
“ But the money is owing you, papa,” said
Annie, “and 1 have plenty of foolscap, and I
think we will worry through, if only mother
gets well.”
“ Worry through,” echoed her father ; “yes,
that’s just it; it has been nothing but ‘ worry
through* the world ever since I came into it,
and now that hope fails, here’s another mouth
to feed, the nurse to pay, doctor’s bills, com
pany, the school you depend-on getting set
aside, and the rent of this leaky old parsonage
raised ten per cent., and poor Eleanor going
without the comforts ol life. llow often have
I preached to my people about the goodness
of God, and here at the darkest chapter of
my life I sit dowu and despair. 1 can at least
put some heart in my sermon and comfort
others who need it, if not myself.”
All this time Annie stood at the window,
rapping out an idle tune on the glass. In his
present mood it irritated her father, who
asked, sharply :
“ What are you studying, Annie?”
“ Not the clouds, certainly,” answered the
girl, quietly, “I am looking beyond them to
the bright blue sky, and thinking how calm
and peaceful it is—not like earth with its
cares and vexations, but like heaven, full of
rest and peace, only we must go through
earth to get to it.” A weak voice called her
and she left the room and went up stairs to
her mother. The minister thought of these
two patient, gentle women, how they saved
and denied themselves and never complained,
how toil and suffering had weakened the per
ceptions of one, and preternaturally sharpened
those of the other. He thought of the row
of little graves between Annie, the eldest,
and this new last baby that was scarcely
needed, and somehow heaven seemed a long
way off, and earth very, very near and real.
How was help to come ? He did not know.
He took down his old worn out dressing
gown, and put it on, settled himself in his
study, and prepared to write his Sunday
morning sermon.
There were other people in the world who
had their troubles as well as the reverend
Mr. Clifford. Just across the town from the
dim old parsonage was a beautiful residence,
owned by a wealthy widow' lady, who was
sadly out of health. The doctors had just
held a discussion, and declared she must go
to Europe. Total change of air and scene
might restore her health, but that was her
only chance.
“.The thing is impossible,” she was saying
on the same evening to her niece who lived
with her, and was comfortably on in her
thirties, “ how „an I leave those two great
boys, just at the age they need so much care,
to be absent a year? It would be the ruin
of them.”
“Better to do that than to leave them for
ever,” replied her niece.
“ That would be of God’s ordaining,” said
the widow. “ While I can do my work, I
may not lay it aside; those boys need a re
straining hand. The powers they possess
may easily be turned to evil; no servant
could take proper care of them. Horace,
too, will be home from college during the
nine weeks’ vacation, and will need a home.
No! much as I desire to go, I cannot see my
way clear. I believe if God thinks it best
that I should recover my health, he will raise
up the means.”
Mrs. Lyman was more disappointed than
she cared to acknowledge, but she was a re
ligious woman, and tried to resign herself to
inevitable circumstances. She had no rela
tion near her than the niece, who would ac
company her abroad if she went, and she felt
that the welfare of her two boys, aged ten
and twelve, was of the highest importance.
They had strong, resolute natures, which
might be trained to the greatest usefulness,
or, perverted into channels of wrong, be pro
ductive of the greatest misery. Her eldest
boy, too, a young man of great promise, must
not be left without the shield of a home. She
had old and faithful servants who would at
tend to their physical wants, but there their
capabilities ended.
On Sunday, Mrs. Lyman went to hear Mr.
Clifford preach. It was not the church she
was in the habit of going to. That was six
miles off, just a pleasant ride, and the old
minister had been a lifelong friend ; but she
had heard of Mr. Clifford, and liked him, and
not feeling as strong as usual, went to his
church, which was near.
His text was that beautiful adjuration
“Let not your heart he troubled, ye believe
in God, believe also in me and, putting self
out of the way altogether, he preached such
a grand, impassioned view of God’s word, as
only a man could who has walked through
the gospel by ways and brushed iff its dew
on his ow n soul; and his hearers, lifted up on
the waves of heavenly consolation, looked
right, down into the depths, out of which he
bad just cdme, and saw, for the first time,
that their pastor was a man of equal needs
with themselves.
The nr-xt night Mr. Clifford received
note from Mrs. Lhyman, inviting him to call
immediately.
“Another sin sick soul,” he thought, and
went.
but the consolation came to him. She had
thought her way out of all difficulties, and
now offered her house and servants for a year

rent free, and a good salary to Mr. Clifford
as teacher of her boys. This offer included
a great deal, fresh pure air, cows and clover, a
great orchard, and a luxurious house, stocked
with all the necessaries of living, besides a
carriage to ride to and fro—just the thing
Eleanor needed to get her strength back. It
was a very broad streak of sunshine that now
lit up the minister’s sky.
When it was setlted, that he should take
the house and become tutor to the boys—
whose bright, jubilant natures held enough
electrical force to clear any household atmos
phere—Mr. Clifford talked the matter over
with his pale, thankful wife, noticed the wee
baby the first time without a sigh, and then
turned to Annie, quiet, reticent, patience
crowned Annie.
“ What shall I have for my text on next
Sunday, daughter, ‘Joy eometh with the
morning!”
“No,” said Annie, gently, “let it be, ‘Who
by taking thought can add one cubit to his
stature?’and expound it for the benefit of that
class -who are always worrying.”
“ Annie,” said her father,'tenderly, “ who
gave you such perfect trust in everything,
and taught you always to look on the bright
side ?”
“ You, papa,” answered his daughter, “but
I taught -myself to separate precept from
practice.”
“ Some day,” said Mr. Clifford to his wife,
“ Annie must be a minister’s wife ; she would
be invaluable.”
It was only the other day that Horace
Lyman told her that same thing.
They are happy people who can always
look on the bright side, who grasp their sting
ing nettles so closely as to disarm them, and
plunging with brave perseverance into their
dark cloud, find its centre a globe of silver
brightness. I don’t believe in mock heroics,
but do think a happy, hopeful, consistent
spirit is the truest and best leaven in the
world.

Grace Without Conditions.
On one of the gala days at the court of Queen
Elizabeth, soon after the . xecution of Mary,
Queen of Scots, the geri ral gaiety was ar
rested by the sudden s zure of a courtly
stranger by the guard. His singular appear
ance had created suspicion, and being watched,
he was found to be armed, and bent on mis
chief. The Queen, having ordered the guard
to bring the prisoner before her, asked him:
“ Who are you ?”
“ Marguerite Lebrun,” was the reply.
“ Marguerite ! Marguerite !” cried her Ma
jesty, in wonder.
“ Madam, I wear a beard, (tearing it from
her face,) and also a man’s apparel; but lam
a woman.”
“ Loose your hands,” said Elizabeth to the
guard.
“ Nay, madam,” replied the prisoner, “ 1
mind not a rough hand; what is the pinching
of an arm to one who carries a broken heart?”
“ Who hath broken your heart?”
“ Elizabeth of England ! Madam, you have
rest all that my heart did love—how could it
help breaking? My mistress—my Queen —
my chief beloved, Mary of Scotland—my
husband, too —my all. Yes, lady—beggared
and broken-hearted, you bid me speak—you
bid me tell my errand. I obey. For years
my husband and myself had been honored in
her service? We were with her when—mad
am, the horror of that scene was a dagger to
my husband. I tried, I prayed, that the
wound might staunch ; but—but, lady, I am a
widow'. I lost a loving husband at Fotherin
gay. I felt my heart-strings yield; but I
vowed over both their coffins -that I would
live to revenge both, and I came here to ful
fill my vow. A few steps more, and I had
succeeded. I have struggled hard to gain my
purpose, but in vain.”
It cost the Queen a stern effort to retain
her composure under such a speech; but she
calmly asked :
“ What, think you, is my duty upon the
hearing of such a case?”
“ Do you put the question to me as a queen
or as a judge ?”
“Asa queen.”
“ Then you should grant me a pardon.”
“ But what assurance can you give me that
you will not abuse my mercy, and attempt
my life again ? Should I pardon, it should
be based upon conditions to be safe from
your murderous revenge in future.”
“ Grace fettered by precautions—grace that
hath conditions—is no grace. /”
“ By my faith, my lords,” said the Queen,
“ thirty years have I now reigned, and never
before have 1 found a person to read me so
noble a lesson. My good lords, shall I not
bid her go ?”
Some of her most trusted courtiers remon
strated against the act, but the Queen listened
impatiently. Turning to the prisoner, she
said:
“Are you not a Frenchwoman ?”
“ I am.”
“ Whither would you go, should 1 set you
free?”
“To my country and my kindred.”
“ Marguerite Lebrun, I will pardon thee ;
and l do it without conditions. You shall
have safe and honorable conveyance to your
own country. My loyal guards, see that she
is cared for.”
The pardoned woman looked with wonder,
and gratitude, and admiration. For the first
time during the interview she made an obei
sance ; and carried to her grave a reverence
for the Queen that £ould freely forgive a great
crime.
So far as the writer knows, the foregoing
is historically true; but, at the same time, it
is a parable, and teaches unconditional salva
tion.
There is a sense in which the salvation of
the gospel is conditional. Man is a sinner—
sinful in action, and depraved in life, because
he is sinful and depraved in heart; as such
he cannot enter heaven. God L being holy in
character, and righteous as the upholder of
law, is bound, because of his holiness, to put
away sin from Him; and because of His
justice or righteousness, to punish sin with an
infinite punishment. The salvation of man,
as a sinner, then, can only be when these
conditions are fulfilled.
The question, then, comes to be, How can
I, a sinner, deserving to be put aw r ay and
damned forever, be brought nigh and justi
fied, and the hokuess and righteousness of
God be glorifiM? We find the wondrous
answer in the cross and the Crucified. Does
the holiness of Jehovah demand that sin be
put away? Behold, Jesus comes “to put
away sin bv the sacrifice of himself.” Yea,
He HimsCTf was put away because He was
made sin; and from the depths of distance
and loneliness cried out, “ My God, my God,
why hast thou forsaken me?”
Does the righteqtisness of God demand
that sin be punished ? Lo, Jesus, when bear
ing our guilt-and sin on the tree, makes His
soul an offering for sin. All the wrath due
to His people for their iniquities was wrung i
into one dreadful cup of suffering, and Jesus |
drank it to the dregs, crying, “ It is finished,”
bowing His'head, and giving up the ghost..
Thus all the conditions are met and ful
filled ; all that needed to be done or suffered,
ere grace could reigu through righteousness
unto eternal life, has been done and suffered.
In token of this, the third morning, He who
was delivered for our offences, is raised again
for our justification; and now, through.
Christ, and on the grounds of what He has
done and suffered, God, in holiness and right
eousness, proclaims an unfettered, uncondi
tional gospel to the hell-deserving, hell
doomed, and hell-bound sinner.
Through this Man is preached unto you the
forgiveness of sins; and by Him all that be
lieve are justified from all things. The mes
sage, then, is this—“ Believe on the Lord
Jesus Christ, and you are saved ; for he that
believeth in the Son hath everlasting life.”
No conditions, no precautions. Jesus is set
forth ; receive Him to yourself as God’s un
speakable gift to you. And to as many as
receive Him, to them gives He power to
become the sons of Go.J, even to them that
believe on His name.
The grace of the gospel hath no conditions.
“ Grace that hath conditions—grace fettered
by precautions—is no yrace /”
The Lent Half-Dollar.
When Charles Gleason was about ten years
old, a bright half dollar was given him by his
grandfather, to buy any thing he pleased for
a New-Year,s present. The boy’s 'mother
that morning taught him the verse: “He that
hath pity on the poor lendeth to the Lord,
and that which he hath given will He repay
him again.” The words were running in the
boy’s mind on his way to the store, to pur
chase a toy which he had seen in the window
of the shop on the previous day.
Just before Charlie reached the store he
met a po«»r woman, who had sometimes done
washing for his mother, and she seemed to
be in great distress.
“What is the matter, Hannah?” said this
kindhearted child.
“O. Master Charlie, I’ve got to be- turned
into the street this cold morning ; and my little
Bill, so sick, too !”
“Turned into the street—you and Bill—
what for?”
“Because I can’t raise my weekly rent.
I’ve just been to see my landlord, and he says
it’s three days overdue, and he’ll not wait an
other day. There go the men to put my bed
and stove, and a few other things, on the side
walk. O, what, shall 1 do?”
“ How much is your rent, Hannah ?” asked
the boy, with a choking voice.
“It’s half a dollar,” said the woman: “It
will kill Bill to put him out in this cold—
and sure I will die with him.”
No, you won’t! No, you sha’n’t!’’ said
the tender-hearted child ; and feeling in his
pocket brought forth his treasured half-dollar,
and placed it quickly in her hands. Seeing
she hesitated to keep it, notwithstanding her
great need, Charlie told her it was all his own
to spend as he pleased, and that he would
rather give it to her than have the nicest toy in
the store. Then walking away swiftly from
the shop windows, which were full of tempt
ing New-Year’s presents, he went bravely
home to his mother, sure of her approbation.
The first person he met was his grandfather.
He had observed Charlie go dowu the street,
and waiting for his return, that he might see
what he had bought. So his first salutation
was : “ Well, child, what have you done with
your money ?”
Now Charlie’s grandfather was not a religi
ous man; and the biy knew, that though he
sometimes gave his money to his relations,
he seldom or never bestowed it. upon the poor,
so he rather disliked to tell him what he had
done with his money : but while he hesitated,
the verse which he had that morning learned
came into his mind and helped him to answer.
Looking pleasantly into his grandfather’s face,
he said :
“I’ve lent it, sir.”
“ Lent your half-dollar, foolish boy ? You’ll
never get it again, I know.”
“ O, yes, I shall, grandpa; for I’ve got a
promise to pay.”
“ You mean a note, I suppose; but it is n’t
worth a cent,”
“O yes, grandpa, it is perfectly good.
Pm sure about it, for it’s in the Bible.”
“You mean you have put it there for safe
keeping, eh ? Let me see it.”
Charlie brought the book and showed him
the verse: “ He that hath pity on the poor
lendeth to the Lord, and that which he hath
given will He repay him again.”
“ So you gave your money to some scamp ?
Well, you’ll never see it again. Who has got
it, pray ? ”
“I gave it to Hannah Green, sir;” and
Charlie told him the sad story.
“O, fudge! ” said his grandfather; “ you
can’t pay poor folks’ rent. It’s all nonsense.
And now you’ve lost your New-Year’s present
—or will, if I don’t make it up to you. Here,”
he added, as he threw him another half-dollar,
“ seeing your money is gone where you never
will see it again, 1 must give you some more
I suppose.”
“ O, thank you !” said Charlie, heartily.
“ I knew the Lord would pay me again, grand
pa, because the Bible says so ; but I did n’t
expect to get it so quick.”
“That boy’s too much for me,” said the
old gentleman as he walked quickly away.
Mouth Music and Heart Music.
A writer in the Advocate and Guardian
says that on one of the summer days in New
York, a ragged, dirty little boy was trudging
along the scorching pavements, carrying a
heavy basket of drift-wood, which he had pick
ed up on the river-shore. Poor child, what
a load it was for his infant strength. The
great pearly drops of perspiration rolled down
his face, and he panted as if every breath he
drew would be his last. Just behind him
came tripping along, a nice trim little fellow
dressed so neatly, with such a jaunty straw
hat perched on his curly head, and above all
playing such a wonderful mouth organ !
What boy does not think that a “ bran
new” mouth organ makes the finest music in
the world? Why a p'ano isn’t any thing to
it I O ! what a longing look that miserable
child did give that mouth organ ! It seemed
as if his basket wouldn’t be half as heavy, if
he could only try it for a few minutes. The
other boy saw that look, aod that basket too,
and instead of turning up his nose and passing
on, as many would have done, he called out,
“ 1 say, boy, suppose you just try how this
thing goes. I tell you it’s grand; my uncle
bought it for me this morning. I’ll take your
basket.” And he did take it, and was more
than rewarded for his kindness, by seeing
the change that came over that dirty, brown
face, for it almost seemed as if that child had
caught a glimpse of heaven that warm after
noon.
To be sure it was a queer sight for the peo
ple they met, to see that nicely dressed boy,
carrying a basket of wet wood, and by his
side the rag-a-muffin playing a mouth organ,
with such a pleased look beaming from his
eyes; but the boy with the basket • could
hardly eat his supper that night, for thinking
how he had brought smiles to the tired face,
and joy to that poor little heart.
A Choir of Children.— The Tabernacle
Baptist church, Philadelphia, Rev. George A.
Peltz, pastor, has a Children’s Choir, Mr.
Evans, the competent leader, has succeeded
in training the children to perform music with
a tone and taste delightful to all who hear
them sing. The selections consistjof old tunes
and new tunes, and often congrega
tion unites with the children, and the effect
is sublime.
Two Testimonies.
“ Oh dear, it’s a long time till Sunday comes
again,” said a young friend of mine, with a
sigh as she prepared to go to the house of bu
siness where she was apprenticed. “ Well,
it is six days certainly, yet you must be
tired to night. Twice at Sunday School, and
then at morning and evening service,”
“ Yes ! but it’s so sweet and and pleasant,
and the day. goes so fast.”
“ My dear, I rejoice that you are so happy.
May you ever feel that the Lord’s day is your
happiest day.”
That evening, sitting at my bedroom win
dow in the moonlight, I heard the sound of
crying in the street below, and a woman
sobbed out, “ I wish Sunday never came, what
with the mornings when you can’t get drink
you are so cross—and the nights when you’re
disputing over your beer, it’s a dreadful day.
I stepped on to the balcony, and saw a tat
tered woman following a man in a jacket, with
a battered hat, who was muttering and grum
bling as he walked. The words of my young
friend came to my mind, and my thought was
—Sunday is either our best, or worst day!
Reader, it is a seventh of our time. Will you
be happy now and forever in the service of
God, or miserable here and hereafter in the
the service of Satan.
Father Kuows.
A gentleman was one day opening a box of
dry goods. His little son was standing near,
aud as his hither took the packages from the
box, he laid some of them upon the arm of
the boy. A little friend and play-mate of the
merchant’s son was. standing, by looking on.
As package after package was laid upon the
arm of the boy, his *!ittle friend began to fear
his load was becoming too heavy, and said :
“Johnny, don’t you think yon’ve got as
much as you can carry ?”
“ Never mind,” dear little Johnny answered
in a sweet, happy tone, “ father knows how
much I can carry.”
Brave, trusting little fellow ! He did not
grow restless or impatient under the burden,
heavy though it doubtless seemed. There
was no danger, he felt, that his father .would
lay a load on him too heavy for him. His
father knew-the’strength, or rather the weak
ness of that little arm, and would not overtask
it. More than all, his father loved him, and
therefore could not harm him.
It is such a spirit of loving trust in him
that God desires all his children t<> possess.
He says; “Except ye be converted, and be
come as little children, ye shall not enter the
kingdom of heaven.”

To S. S. Superintendents and Teachers. g|
As the new' year opens, many If our Sunday,
schools will have to decide upon the
of study to be pursued during thenar. The:
majority of our superintendents aqd teaehers
have very naturally and justly
with the old system of catechisms
tion bocks. For a long time their deflcfPT
cies have been seen and felt, but they are
still used for the want of some better system.
This need not be the case any longer. The
wonderfully increased interest in the cause oji
Sunday schools, has resulted in the introdu*
tion o*’ several systems of instruction isl
finitely superior to the old plan. That whierr
now commends itself in an eminent degree,
and is being more and more adopted, and
with wonderful success, is the Uniform Les
son plan—that is, the same lesson for the
whole school. Those who have once adopted
this plan, never feel disposed to return to
catechisms and question books. It stimulates
the teachers, interests the scholars, makes in
struction more attractive and thorough, and
aids the superintendent in impressing and
fastening upon the minds of the scholars Bi
ble truths. The oiject of this communica
tion is not so much to offer arguments in
favor of this system, as to call attention to
the series of lessons to be published by the
American Baptist Publication Society, for
this year. The course embraces the Life of
Christ, commencing with John’s account of
The Word, and ending with the Ascension.
The lesson papers, for scholars, are pub
lished monthly, and contain questions on each
lesson during the month. Besides the ques
tions, there js a motto, or Scripture theme,
at the beginning, and a summary of the les
son at the end, and references to Scripture,
which are to be read at home. Then title,
Scripture theme or motto, and summary, are
to be committed to memory. Last year
there were separate papers for superinten
dents and teachers,.containing notes, instruc
structions and blackboard exercises, hints as
to the manner of teaching, etc., etc.
These are now transferred to the col
umns of the Baptist Teacher, published by
the Society, of which Rev. G. A. Peltz, of
Philadelphia, and Rev. A. E. Dickinson, of
Richmond, are Editors. Most of our breth
ren know that this periodical is the offspring
of the recent National Baptist Sunday School
Convention, held at St. Loui-. I have not
yet seen a copy, but am assured that it will
be, every way, worthy of the patronage of
the Baptists of the whole country. The sub
scription price is 50 cents a year, when ten
or more copies are taken. The price of the
Lesson Papers is 75 cents per hundred. It
will thus be seen that the Lesson Papers, and
Teachers’ Notes, etc., including the Sunday
School Periodical, will be cheaper than the
old Question Books, to say nothing of the
many other advantages.
The scheme of Lessons or Topics is the
same as that of the National S. S. Teacher,
published at Chicago; but, of course, the former
will be Baptist, while the latter is non de
nominational. I will also state, that at least
two other prominent Sunday school publica
tions will bring out Lessons on the Life of
Christ—the S. S. Times, of Philadelphia, and
the Chronicle <t Examiner, (Baptist,) of New
York.
Now, I want to ask < ur Sunday school
brethren—pastors and superintendents—to
examine this series, if found worthy, in
troduce it, itnmediatflHguti)sir schools. Semi

beg brethren Heafn, Lloyd, Cloud, Gwin, ;

A Good Example.
A Sunday school was recently started in
Green county, Ky., which embraces not only
all the children, but nearly all the adults in
the neighborhood. It is a serious blunder
grown people commit who take up the idea
that they are too old to learn. When any
are so far advanced that the revelations
God has made to this world will not make
them wiser, it is high time they were trans
lated to a higher sphere. They have no more
to learn, and, if they will not impart wisdom
to others, are losing time as long as they stay
here. We have never met such an instance
in our life, but have found .many who acted
as if this were their condition. Many a
group will be assembled in the mansions
above, anxiously' seeking to know more of
the will of God, and surely those who are
ab : ding under the clouds of time might add
something, if they would, to their stock of
religious knowledge. An hour spent every
Sunday morning in the careful study of the
Bible, will benefit any Doctor of Divinity in
the land. We commend it to all.
Another benefit will follow : You go with
your children, or younger brothers and sis
ter&j*.nd by your presence, countenance the
effort to instruct them; and it inspires the
children with a deep sense of the importance
of the work in hand.. If you never enter
within the walls of the school-room, will they
not naturally conclude that the whole affair
is of minor importance? If not, both you
and your children have to thank the teacher
whose faithful instructions counteract your
bad example.— Tex. Chris. Adv.
The Superintendent. — Rev. H. E. Butler
describes his ideal of the superintendent, as
follows: A man of good repute,good com
mon sense, executive ability, power to con
trol, independent, with a love for Christian
work, and a capacity for growth.
The Teacher Teaching. —Often think,
dear teacher, that you hear the voice of Jesus,
as He comes to your class, inquiring of the
little ones, “ Children , have you here any
meat?”

MEDICINE, for Dyspepsia,
Headache, Jaundice, Costiveness, Camp Dysentery,
Sick Headache, Chronic Diarrhoea, Affections of the
Bladder and Kidneys, Fever, Nervousness, Chills,
Diseases of the skin, Impurity of the Blood, Melan
choly or depression of Spirits.
Most of the ailments here enumerated have their
origin in a diseased liver, which is the most prevalent
affection in this country, and as in many cases the
patient is not within the reach of a physician, it re
quires that some remedy should be provided that
would not in the least impair the constitution, and yet
be active and safe. That such is the character of the
SIMMONS REGULATOR there can be no doubt,
which the testimony of hundreds will establish.
SYMPTOMS OF A DISEASED
in the side. Sometimes the
TTTTTTI |P a an* n is felt under the shoulder blade;
I lulllj lis sometimes mistaken for rheuma
-111 lUU liism in the arm. The stomach is a(-
with loss of appetite and sick
ness, bowels in general are costive, sometimes alter
nating with lax; the head is troubled with pain, ac
companied with a dull, heavy sensation. There is
generally a considerable loss of memory, accompa
nied with a painful sensation of having left undone
something which ought to have been done. A slight,
dry cough is sometimes an attendant. The patient
complains of weariness and debility ; he is easily
startled, bis feet are cold or burning, and he com
plains of a prickly sensation of the skin; his spirits
are low ; and although sat-isfied that exercise would
be beneficial to him, yet he can scarcely summon up
fortitude enough to try it. In fact, he distrusts every
remedy. Several of the above symptoms attend the
disease, but cases have occurred when few ot them
existed, yet examination of the body after death has
shown the Liver to have been extensively deranged.
It should be used by all persons, old and young,
whenever any of the foregoing symptoms appear; It
is a purely vegetable compound, is not injurious to the
most delicate constitutions, and will keep the liver in
healthy action if used properly.
Persons living in unhealthy localities may avoid all
billious attacks by taking a dose occasionally to keep
the liver in healthy action.
For children complaining of colic,
n II Iheadache, or sick stomach, a tea
nPO'llMinilspoonfrl or more will give relief.
• *wc«l«*lUl|(;hild ren , as well as adults, eat some-
Jtimes too much supper, or eat some-
not digest well, producing sour
stomach, heart-burn, or restlessness; a good dose
will give relief. This applies to persons of all ages.
Many persons, from eating too much,’are restless
at night, or in day time are fidgety, wool-gathering,
can’t understand what they read, can’t keep their
thoughts on any one subject so as to reason well, or
become fretful. One or two tablespoonsful will give
relief.
Jaundice. —Tako enough Regulator after eating
each meal to produce one full action from the bowels
every day.
Pregnant ladies will find sure relief’from their head
ache, costiveness, swimming in the head, colic, sour
stomach, restlessness, etc,, etc.

RUPTURES CURED.
DR. J. A. SHERMAN,
Artistic Surgeon, respectfully offers his services in
the application of his Rupture Curative Appliances,
at his office,
No. 697 Broadway, New York.
The great experience of Dr. SHERMAN, resulting
from his long and constant devotion to the treatment
and cure of this disease, assures him of his ability to
relieve all, without regard to the age of the patient
or duration of the infirmity, or the difficulties which
they may have heretofore encountered in seeking
relief. Dr. SHERMAN, as Principal of the Rupture
Curative Institute, New Orleans, for a period of
more than fifteen years, had under his care the worst
cases in the country, all of which were eifectually
relieved, and many, to their great joy, restored to a
sound body.
None of the pains and injuries resulting from the
use of other Trusses, are found in Dr. Sherman’s Ap
pliances ; and, with a full knowledge of the assertion,
he promises greater security and comfort, with a daily
improvement in the disease, than can be obtained of
any other person, or the invention, of any other per
•on, in the United States.
Prices to suit all classes. It is the only, as well ns
the cheapest, remedy ever offered the afflicted. Pho
