for illuhtrntfon. Tbe UJt is H<>l ws lx,
22, “Without rhcddlng of blood is no re
tniw-ion. ”
.John G. Whittier, the last of the gnat
school of Amcricnn poeta that made the
hist quarter of this < '-nttiry brilliant, linked
nio in the White mountains one morning
after prayers, in whi li I had given out
Cow famous hyn.n al»out “the foun
tain filled with blood,” “D" you really
believe the re is a literal application of the
blood of Christ to the soul?'' My ncgntKe
reply then is my negative reply now. The
Bible statement ngr ■ - with all ] liy-iO.-ms
and all physiologist' and till sen-lit iff- in
raying that the blood i- tin life. and. in
the Christian r< i -ion it means simply
that Christ's life win given fi r our life,
lienee all this talk of men who say the
Bible story of blood is di.-;:i. Xing, and ,
that they don’t wai.t what they cal! a |
“slaughter house religion,” only k|>ows i
their incapacity or unwillingness to look |
through the figure of speech toward the .
thing signified. The blood that on the
darkest Friday the world ever saw oozed
<>r trickled or pound from lhe brow, and
the side,and the luinds, and the feet of the ;
illustrious sufferer back of .ferusalom in
a few hours coagulated and dried up and
forever disappeared, and if man had de
pended on the application of the literal
blood of Christ there would not have been !
it soul saved for the last IK centuries.
The Red Word.
In order to understand this red word of j
my text wo only have to exi rci-e as inii'-h |
common sense in religion as we do in I
everything <-!-:«•. Pang for pang, hunger |
for hunger, fatigue for fatigue, tear for I
t< ar, blood for blood, life for life, we see ■
everyday illustrated. The act of subst.it u- |
tion is no novelty, although 1 hear men j
talk as though the idea of Christ’s suffer
ing nil -tltuted for our suffering were ■
something ahnormid, sonmihing distress- I
ingly odd, something wildly eccentric, a
solitary episode in the world’s history,
when 1 couM take you out into this city
and be'ore sundown point you to 600 cases
of substitution and voluntary suffering of
one in behalf of another.*
At 2 o’clock tomorrow afternoon go
among the places of business or toil. It
will be no difficult thing for you to find
men who by thejr looks show you that
they arqoverworked. They are premature
ly old. They are hastening rapidly toward
their decease. They have gone through
crises in business that, shuttered their
nervous system and pulled on the brain
'lljoy hiivo a shon ness ot breath and a pein
in the back of the bend and nt night an 1
insomnia that alarms them. Why are they i
drudging nt business early nnd late? For >
fun!- No. It would l,e difficult to extract ;
any amusement out of that exhaustion ■
Because they are avaricious! 1 In many ’
<nses no. Because their ow n personal ex- '
peases are lavish? No. A‘fevv hundred dol- ■
Ini'H would meet, all tin ir wants. ') he sim- ■
pin fuel is the num is enduring nil that fa- ■

to keep liis home prosperous. There is an j
invisible lino reaching from that store, '
from that, bank, from that, shop, from that
senfl'oldiug, to a quiet scene a few blocks,
a few miles away, nnd there is the secret
Os that business endurance, lie is simply ■
the champion of a homestead, for which
he wins bread and wardrobe and education
nnd prosperity, and in meh battle 10,000

A Dim Eight In the House.
At 1 o’clock tomorrow morning, the hour i
when slumber is most, uninterrupted and i
profound. walk amid the dwelling houses !
of the city. Here and there you will find .
a dim light, because it. is the household
custom to keep a sul dtied light burning,
but most.of the houses from base to toptiru ;
as dark ns though uninhabited. A merci
ful tied has sent forth the archangel of
sleep, ami be puts his wings over the city.
But yonder is a clear light fuming, and
outside on n window casement a glass or
pltehcr eontuining* food for a sick child.
The food is sot, in the. fresh air. This is
the sixth night that mother has sat up
with that sufferer. t-'ln> has to the last
pi'int. obeyed the physician’s prescription,
not. giving a drop tifto much or too little or
n moment too soon or too late. She is
very anxious, for she has buried three
children with the same disease, and she
prays and weeps, ouch prayer and sob end
ing with a kiss of the pule cheek. By dint
of kindness she gets the little one through
the ordeal. After it is all over the mother
is taken down. Brdin or nervous fever
sets in, and one day she leaves the eonval- i
eseent child with a mother’s blessing and I
goes up to join the three departed ones in ;
the kingdom of heaven. Life for life! !
Substitution! The fai t is that there are
an uncounted number ot mothers who ott
er they have navigated a large family of
children through ail t he diseases of infancy
and got them fairly started up the Hower-.
Ing slope of boyhood and girlhood have
only strength enough left to die. They
fade away. Some call it consumption,
some call it nervous prostration, some call
it Intermittent or malavlal indisposition,
but 1 call it martyrdom of the domestic
circle. Life for life! Blood for blood 1 Sub

Or perhaps a mot her lingers long enough
to st;© u son get on the wrong road, and

her it she has any message to leave, anu
She makes great effort to say something,
but. out of. three or tour minutes of indis

words, “My "poor !»oy!” The simple fact
is she died for 1 ini. Life for life! Substi

Blood For Blood.
About "S years ago there went forth
from our ibrtliern and southern homes
hundreds <>! thousands of men to do bat
tle. All the poetry . 1 war soon vanished and
left them Hothi, g but the terrible prose.
They waded Free i\ vp in mud. They slept
in sr.ew !.i>i:l;s 'i hey marched till their
cut feet tiacKvii this earth They were
swindled <ut of their honest, rations and
llvisl on meat ue.t tit .. r a dog. They had
jaws fractured , nd eyes extinguished and
limbs shot away. Thousands of them cried
for wutir ns they lay on the field the night
after ths battle anil got it not. They were
honusii k and received no message from
their loved ones They died in barns, in
bushes, in ditches, the buzzards of the
summer beat the only attendants on their
obsequies. No one but the infinite God,
who knows everything, knows the ten
thousandth part of the length nnd breadth
and depth and height of anguish of the
northern and southern battlefields. Why
did these lathers leave their children and
go to the front, and why did these young
men, p«*stponing the n iirriagc day. start
out into the probabilities of never coming
back? For a princi[ le they died. Life for
life! Blood fur blood! Substitution!
But we need not go so fur. What is that
n.onuuient in the cemetery? It is to the
doctors who fell in the southern epidemics.
Why go? Were there not enough sick to be
attended'in these northern latitudes! Ph,
yes; but tho doctor puts a few medical
Imoks in his valise, and some vials of med
icine, and leaves liis patients here in the
hands of other physicians ami takes the
rail train. Before im gets to the Infected
regions he passes crowded rail trains, reg
ular and extra, taking tho-Ilyiiig and af
frighted populations. Be arrives in a cit„
over which a great horror is brooding. He
goes from couch to couch, feeling the
pulse and studying symptoms and pre-
scribing day after day, night- after night,
until a fellow physician says: “Doctor,
you had Is ttur go hotne and rest. You
look miserable ” But he cannot rest w bile
so many are suffering On nnd on, until
some morning finds L-im in a delirium, in
which Le talks of Ixime and then rites
and says he must go and lock after those
patients lie is told to ilo down, but ho
fights his attendants until he falls back
and is weaker and weaker and dies for
people with whom Be had no kinship and
far away from his own family and is has
tily put away In n stringer’s tomb, and
only the fifth part of a newspaper line tells
ns of his s«icrltire—bis name just men
tioned among five Y< the has touched the ;
farthest height of sublin ity in that tbreo
weeks of hu nar.itaricn serv ico. He goes
straight ns an arrow to the bosom of him
who said. ” I was sir k. and ye vlsitcd me.”

A Story of Seward.
Tn the legal proft sicn I see tho same ,
principle of self sacrifice. In 1k46 William ■
Freeman, a pauperized and idiotic negro, j
wire nt Auburn,. N ¥.. on trial for mur
der. He bn! Main tho entire Van Nest
family. The foaming wrath ot the com-j
tnunity could Le kept eff him only by !
armed constables. Who would volunteer i
to be his counsel? No attorney wanted to i
sacrifice his popularity by such an un
grateful task Ail were silent save one, a
young lawyer with fei i>le voice, that could
hardly Le beard outside the Lar. pale and
thin and awkward It was William 11.
Seward, who saw that the prisoner was
idiotic nnd Irresponsible and ought to Be
put in an nsylum rather than put to death,
the heroic counsel uttering these beautiful
words:
“I speak now in the hearing of a people
who have prejudged prisoner and con
demned me for pleading in his behalf. He
is a convii t, a pauper, a negro, without
inteliecl, sense or emoticn. My child with
an aff< ciionate smile disarms my careworn
l;»en of its frown v.never I cross my
threshold. The beggar in the street obliges
me to give because Le says, ‘God bless
you !' as I pass. My dog caresses mo with
fondness if I w ill but smile on him. My
horse recognizes me when I fill bis manger.
What reward, what gratitude, what sym
pathy and affection can I expect here?
There the prisoner sits. Look at him.
jtjook id the asseii blage around you. Lis
ten to their ill suppressed censures and ex
cited fears, and tell mo where among my
neighbors or my feliow men, where even
in his heart I can expect to find a .senti
ment, a tbo ught, not to say of reward or
of acktiov. lidginent, or even of recogni
tion. Gentlemen, you may think of this
evidence what you please, bring in what
verdict you can, but I asseverate before
heaven ami you that, to tho best of my
know ledge and belief, the prisoner at the
bar di.es not at this moment know why it
is that, my shadow falls on you instead of
ills own. ”
The Hero Buskin.
The gallows got its victim, but tho post
mortem examination of tho poor creature
showed to all the surgeons and to ail the
world that tho public were wrong and
William 11. Seward was right and that
hard, stony step of obloquy in the Auburn
courtroom was the first step of the stairs
of fame up which ho went to the top, or to
within one step of the top, that last denied
him through tho treachery of American
polities. Nothing subiimer was ever seen
in an American courtroom than William
11 Seward, without reward, standing be
tween the furious populace and the loath
some imbecile. Substitution!
In the realm of tho line arts there was
as ren arkable an instance. A brilliant
but hypereriticised painter, Joseph William
Turner, was met by a volley of abuse from
al! tho rut galleries of Europe. His paint
ings, which have since won the applause
of all civilized nations, “The Fifth Flague
ot Egypt,’’ “I iiihirmen on a Leo Shore In
Squally Weather,” “Calais Pier,” “The
Sun Hieing Through Mist’’ and ‘Dido
Building Carthage,” were then targets for
critics to shoot at. in defense of this out
rageously abuseii man a young author - of
24 j eats, just one year out of college, came
forth with his pen and wrote the ablest
anil most famous essay on art thatJftbe
world ever saw or ever will see—John
Ruskin's “Modern Painters.” For 17
yours this author fought the battles of the
niaitri-iiU d artist, and after in poverty
and broken heartedness the painter had
died and tho public tried to undo their
cruelties toward him by giving him a big
funeral and burial in St. Paul’s cathedral
his old time friend took.out. of a tin box
Ht.Ot.u pieces cf paper containing drawings
by the old painter and through many
weary and uncompensated months assort
ed and arranged them for public observa
tion. People reiy John Ruskin in his old
days is cross, niisiintiipouic and morbid
Whatever he may do that lie ought not to
do and whatever he may say that he ought
not to say between "now and his death iiu
will It avo this world insolvent as far as it
l.as any capacity to pay this author’s pen
for its chivalric and Christian defense of a
loor painter’s pencil. John Ruskin for

An Exalting Principle.
What an exalting principle this which
lends one to suffer for another! Nothing
so kindles enthusiasm or awakens elo
quenco, or chimes poetic canto, or moves
nations. The principle is the dominant
one in our religion—Christ the martyr,
Christ the celestial hero, Christ the de
fender, Christ, the substitute. No new
principle, for it was old as human nature,
but now on s grander, wider, higher,
deeper and m<w world resounding scale,
Tho shepherd boy as a champion for Israel
with a sling toppled the giant of Philis
tine braggadocio in tho dust, but hero is
another David who, for nil tho armies of
churches militant and triumphant, hurls
the Goliath of perdition into defeat, the
crash of his brazen armor like an explosion
at Hell Gate. Abraham had nt God’s com
mand agreed to sacrifice his son Isaac, and
the same God just in time had provided a
ram of the thicket as a substitute, but
there is anotlu r Isaac bound to the altar,
and no hand arrests the sharp edges of
laceration and death, and tho universe
shivers ami quakes and recoils and groans
at the horror
Allgood men have for centuries been
trying to tell whom this substitute was
like, nnd every comparison, inspired and
uninspired, evangelistic, propjietie, apos
■ tolic and human, lulls short, for Christ
was the Great Unlike. Adam a type of
Christ, because he came directly fronaCmd;
Noah a typeof Christ, because he delivered
his own family from delug? - , Melchisedec
a type of Christ, because he had no prede
cessor orsuccessor; Joseph a type of Christ,
because he was cast out by his brethren;
Moses a type of Chrigt, because be was a
deliverer from bondage; Joshua a type of
Christ. bo - ause he was a conqueror; Sam
son a type of Christ, because of his strength
to slay the lions - and carry off the iron
gates of impossibility; Soloir.cn a type of
Christ in the nfffnenco of his dominion;
Jonah a type of Christ, because of tbe
stormy sea in which he threw himself for
the rescue of others, but put together
Adam and Noah and Melchisedec and Jo
seph and Moses and Joshua and Samson
and Solomon and Jonah, and they would
not make a fragment cf a Christ, a quar
ter of a Christ, the half of a Christ or the
millionth part of a Christ.
From the Top of Glory.
He forsook a throne and sat down on his
own footstool, lie cam© from the top of
glory the bottom of humiliation and
changed a circumference seraphic for a
circumference diabolic. Once waited on by
angels, now hi.-sed at by brigands. From
afar and high up he came down, past me
teors, swifter than they; by starry thrones,
himself n.ore lust reais, past larger wc.rlds
to smaller v'e.rlds. down stairs of firma
ments and from cloud to cloud and through
treetops and into the camel’s stall, to
thrust his shoulder under our burdensand
; take the lances of pain through his vitals,
and wrapped himself in all the agonies
which we deserve for our misdoings and
stood on tho splitting decks of a founder

sea usd passed midnights cn the moun
tains amid wild heast-s of prey and stood
at the point wberq all earthly and infernal

their keen sabers—our substitute!
V» hen did attorney ever endure so much

and sold: "I will atone fur these under

It was.a most exciting day I spent on
tho battlefield of Waterloo. Starting cut
with tiie morning train from Brussels,
Belgium, we arrived in about- an hour on
that’famous spot. A son of one who was
m the battle, and who hud heard from his
father a thou.-and times the whole scene
recited, accompanied us over the field.
There stood tho old Hougomont chateau,
t he walks dented and ser.it •■’icd and broken
ami shattered by grapes Lot and cannon
ball, rhoro is tho well in which 300 dying
and dead were pitched. There is tho chapel
with tho head of-the infant Christ shutoff.
There are the gates at which for many
hours English and French armies wrestled.
Yonder were the 160 guns of the English
and the 250 guns of tho French. Yonder
the Hanoverian hussars fied for tho woods.
The Fate of Centuries.
Yonder was tho ravine of Ohain, where
tho French cavalry, not knowing there
was a hollow in tho ground, rolled over
and down, troop after troop, tumbling
into one awful mass cf suffering, hoof of
kicking homes against brow and breast Os
captains ami colonels and private soldiers,
♦be human and the beastly groan kept up
until the day alter alb was shoveled under
because of the malodor arising in that hot
mojit’n of Juijo.
“There,” said our guide, “the highland
regiments lay down on their faces waiting
for the moment to spring upon the foe. in
that ’orchard 2,5(.'0 men were cut to pieces.
Here stood Wellington with white lips,
and up that knoil rode Marshal Noy on
his sixth Irnrse, five having been shot un
der him. Here tbe ranks of tho French
broke, and Marshal Ney, with his boot
slashed of a sword, and his hat off and his
■•:©•? cavi-fed with powder and blood, tried
o rally hie troops as b.e cried, ‘Come und
• - <»o how a marshal of French dies on the
Battlefield.’ 1 torn yonder direction Grou
liy was expected for the French re-enforce
aient. but he catne not. Around those
woods Blither was looked for to re-en
force the English, find just in time be
rime up. Yi<n<iei - is the field tvhero Nnpo
.. . :i stood, b.is arms through the reins of
he horse's bridle, dsized and insane, try
e.g to go back. ” Fcene of a battle ibat
went on from 25 minutes to 12 o’clock on
t: e 18th c( June until 1 o’clock, wfi.cn the
l .eglisii sei n:ed dei'eatod, a'ml their com
mantier cried nut: “Boys, yon can’t think
.1 git in;;’ tv at ? Femt ruber old Englund !”
And the tides turned, and at 8 o’clock in
.ho evening tho man of de-tiny, who was
ailed by his troops Old Two Hundred
i'hcusand, tinned away with lirckt n
h. art, and the fate of centuries was decici
Ulte Eton and tbe Lamb.
No wonder a great- n ound has been
reared there, hundreds of feet high-—a
mound at tho expense of millions of dol
lars and many years in rising, and on the
topis the great Belgian lion of bronze,
and a grand old lion it is. But our great
Waterloo was in I’aktstine. There came a
day when all hell rode up, led by Apollyon,
and tho captain of our salvation confront
ed them alone. Tbe rider on tho white
horse of the Apocalypso going out against
the black horso cavalry of death, and the
battalions of the demoniac and the myr
midons of darkness. From 12 o’clock at
noon to 3 o’clock in the afternoon tho
greatest battle of the universe went on.
Eternal destinies were being decided. All
the arrows of heli pierced our Chieftain,
andjbo battleaxes struck him, until brow
and cheek ami shoulder and hand ami foot
were incarnadined with oozing life, but lie
fought on until be gave a final Stroke with
swe.rd from Jehovah's buckler, and tho
commander in chief of hell and all his
forces tell back in everlasting ruin, and
tiie victory is ours. And on the mound
that celebrates the triumph we plant this
day two figures, not in bronze er iron or
sculptured marble, but two figures of liv
ing light, the Lion of Judah’s tribe and
th© Lamb that was slain.

SUICIDE
Is Now Hinted »t in the Death of Margaret
Mather.
Charleston, W. Ya.. April 11—All day
Friday the body of Margaret Mather lay iu
the room at Hotel Ruffner, where she died.
It was clad in the first costume made for
her when she played Juliet. Many ac
quaintances and morbidly curimis sought
to view the 'body.
A few were allowed to see her. Ms- ®-
Lawrence, treasurer for Manager Wh-itnty.
came cn from Detroit and took charge of
the remains, which were shipped to -New
York for ourial yesterday. Some believe
Miss Mather might have taken poison be
fore going on lhe stage in the third act,
although physicians positively deny it.
She was known to be in great distress
on account of trouble with her manager
and another member of the company. She
visited a clairvoyant three times the day of
her death and urged to be given a read
ing. The clairvoyant declined each time,
saying it was impossible to give a reading
because of the clouds overhanging Miss
Mather.

Britain respecting Canadian matters. The
I’aris reward provides that sealing regula
tions shall be submitted at tbe expiration
of five y. ars io a new examination, with a
view to revision, and as that period ex
pires during the current year, the United
States has proposed that the subject of
revision be taken up.
Lord Salisbury assents to the proposal,
but the British ambassador, under his in
structions, has suggested that other un
settled questions between the United
States and Canada be made the subject of
examination, with a view to determining
Jwhether it is feasible to create a joint
commission for their adjustment by treaty
or legislation. It is stated That the presi
dent concurred in this suggestion, and that
a preliminary conference with these ob
jects in view will be held in Washington
at an early date.

Swift's
Specific
Is a vegetable remedy that, drives the
destroying demons of-disease out of the
blood. It is so powerful in this direc
tion that it. cures Cancer. It is the only
medicine and the only agency that heals
up cancerous sores, and permanently
destroys the cause. Its use means to
escape the surgeon’s knife. It means
.new life and bright prospects. It means
the turning of suspense and misery into
days and nights’of happiness and
health.
Swiss ’s Specific (S. S.S.) is good only
for the blood, and for every disease that
has lodgment there. It 'is for Cancer,
Scrofula,Rl eumatism,Catarrh. It cures
them all.
