RELIGIOUS.
Words to the Afflicted.—Affliction the Com
mon Lot.
BY REV. TTM. S. PLUMER, D. D.
I freely confess to a growing sympathy
with my suffering fellow men. The heart of
the wise is in the house of mourning. Often
is the heart made better by the sadness of
the countenance.
On earth are always many stricken hearts.
The children of sorrow are numbered by the
million. The family of the afflicted, for mul
titude, stands next to the family of man. It
never dies out. It is constantly receiving
new accessions. We come into the world
witli a cry, we pass through it in tears, and
we leave it with a groan. At the age of one
hundred aid thirty. Jacob exclaims : “Few
and evil have been the days of the years of
my life.”
That the wicked should have many sor
rows, should surprise no one. God's Word
says it shaU be so. Their course of life na
turally brings about that result. Destruc
tion and misery are in their ways. A gav
exterior often caneeals a rankling wound.
Fven in laughter their heart is sorrowful.
How can it be otherwise ? For Jehovah curs
es their blessings. Mat. 2:2.
But the righteous are not exempt. “God
had one Son on earth without sin, but never
one without affliction.”
•* In this wide world the fondest and the best.
Are the most tried, most troubled and distressed.”
Well, be it so. Night makes the stars
shine, and sorrow gives lustre to many a char
acter. The Lord deals faithfully with his
people. He never promised them ease or
exemption from affliction. Jesussaid: “In
the world ye shall have tribulation ; but be of
good cheer : I have overcome the world.”
“ The path of sorrow, and that path alone.
Leads to the land where sorrows are unknown ;
No traveller ever reached that blest abode.
Who found not thorns and briers in the road.”
Genuine sonship with God never exists
where men are not brought under tho rod of
correction. Ileb. 12:8.
Even where gaunt poverty never knocks
at the door, nor persecution plies her imple
ments of torture, nor sickness consumetli
flesh, vet in some form affliction invades
every dwelling of the saints.
It greatly perplexes some to sec the ap
parent confusion which seems to reign on
earth. The wisest of mere men said: “All
things come alike to all ; there is one event
to the righteous and to the wicked ; to the
good and the clean, and to the unclean, to
him that sacrificeth, and to him that sacri
ficeth not; as is the good, so is the sinner;
and he that sweareth as he that feareth an
oath. This is an evil among all things that
are done under the sun, that there is one
event unto all.” Fee. 9 : 2-3.
Sometimes things are even more perplex
ing, for a had man may for a long time seem
to have uninterrupted prosperity, while his
godly neighbor experiences sad reverses.
Asaph had sore travail of soul on this very
matter. He became envious at the foolish
when he saw the prosperity of the wicked.
They were not troubled as other men, neith
er were they plagued like other men. But
when he saw the doom that awaited them, lie
ceased to envy them. Ps. 73.
Waters of bitterness have always been
given to the righteous. 11. Tim. 3: 11-12.
See how Paul fared : “When we were come
into Macedonia our flesh had no rest, but we
were troubled on every side ; without were
fightings, within were fears.” Indeed such
lias been the common lot of God's people.
; Read history.
Nor do afflictions commonly diminish with
age. In fact, some of them arc usually much
increased as we go on in life. So said the
Preacher. Ecc. 12 : 1-5. In the 90th Psalm,
Moses teaches the same thing. Onr outward
man perisheth, and so we should ifour inward
man were not renewed day by day. 11. Cor.
4 : 10. Owen says : “Ifitbe so that in the
daily decays of the outward man. in all the
approaches of its dissolution, we have inward
spiritual revivals and renovations, we shall
not faint in what we undergo. And without
such continual renovations wc shall faint in
our distresses, whatever other things we may
have, or whatever we pretend to the contra
ry.”
Blessed is the man that behaves well in
affliction. Rough seas and stress of weath
er make good seamen. Long wars and hard
battles make good soldiers. Bishop Hall
says: “Every man looks fair in a time of
prosperity, but the main trial of the Christian
is in suffering.” Let us cultivate the spirit
of those lines now so famous:
I ask not that my course be calm and still—
No. here too, Lord be done thy holy will;
1 ask but for a quiet, child-like heart;
Though thronging cares and restless toil be mine,
Yet may my heart remain for ever thine. —
Draw it from earth and fix it where thou art.
I ask the? not to finish soon the strife.
The toil, the trouble of this earthly life ;
No. he my peace amid its grief and pain.
I pray not. grant me now thy realm on high ;
No. ere I die, let me to evil die.
And through thy Cross my sins be wholly slain.
Am I to Blame. —‘Am I to blame, moth
er? asked a young lad the other day. who
had joined the temperance society. His fa
ther and mother seemed to be displeased with
him. After a long silence the boy broke
forth, ‘Am Ito blame, mother ? Sister Mary
has married a drunken husband, who abuses
her every day ; Sister Susan’s husband was
was intemperate, and has gone off and left
her and you are obliged to take her home and
take care of her children. Brother James
comes home every night drunk, and because
I have joined the cold water army, and you
are likely to have one sober person in the
family, you are scolding me, am I to blame,
mother ?
The mother, overcome by the argument of
her child, replied : ‘You are right, my boy.
May God bless you, and hell) you to keep
your good resolution.’
“Just keeping it lighted for another boy,”
is the latest juvenile invention when a moth
er suddenly comes upon her little boy with a
cigar in his month.
Frankie (aged four) —“Mamma, a lady at
school kissed me to-day.” “Did she, dear?
I hope you kissed her back.” Frank (indig
nantly)—“Kissed her back 1 No, I didn’t;
I kissed her cheek.”
The following awful warning is going the
rounds : “ A few years ago Mrs. Kate Chase
Sprague paid $2 per yard for dress material.
To-day her husband's paper sells for 2| cents
on a dollar.”
“What is your chief consolation in life ?”
asked a pastor of a young lady in his Bible
class. The young lady blushed and hesitated,
hut on the question being repeated, the in
genuous maiden said : “I don’t like to tell
you his name, but I have no objection to tell
you where lie lives.”
“When the Lord made de fust man he
made him out ob wet clay, blewcd in him de
bref ob life, and hung him on the fence ter
dry,” said a colored gospel slinger. “Who
made de fence ?” shouted a member of the
congregation. Put dat wide mouf brudder
out: all sicli excresumesas dat will ’stroy all
dethology inde world. None butaconfound
ed kuinfmstumcated Sabbuf breaker would

“ Roll on, silver Moon,” warbled a youth
beneath the window of his loved one, when
the queen of his thoughts softly raised the
sash and murmured, “ you had better roll on
something better than a ninety-two cent
moon. William, if you expect to get up to
pa; lie is hard money, he is.” The window
slid down, and the demoralized silver Bill
slid off* coining execrations in tne Bland
atmosphere.— Commercial Bulletin.
“See here. Parker, what’s the difference
between a ripe water-melon and a rotten cab
bage ?” asked one letter-carrier of another
the other day.
“You've got me there. I don't know,” he
returned, with a look more puzzled than an
illiterate man at a cross-roads guide-board.
“Then you'd be a mighty nice man to send
after a watermelon, you would,” remarked
the quizzer as he moved on.— Cincinnati
Breakfast Table.
A man in Lowell, Mass., had a house, but
no wife to care for it. In a talk with a friend
a bargain was made under which he was to
pay the friend $l5O for procuring one. The
broker introduced him to a New Hampshire
girl, a marriage was made, ami the man con
cedes that it was a lucky match for him ; but
he refused to pay the broker, because that
gentleman saw fit to talk about the matter.
Pile court has decided against him, and the
case will go to the Superior Court of Mas
sachusetts on appeal.
Down in Spartanburg, South Carolina,
they arc commenting upon the thickheaded
ness of Peter Grant, a troublesome colored
man whom Marshal Campbell, being unable
to arrest, and to save his own life, decided to
shoot. The Herald of that town says that
the Marshal made a centre shot, hitting the
negro squarely in the forehead, and being
only a few feet distant. The ball did not
enter the skull, but, imbedding itself under
the skin, flattened, producing a slight fracture
only, which is not dangerous.
[ Expectorant ]
Js the most genial balsam ever U9ed by
sufferers from pulmonary diseases.
It is composed of herbal products, which
have a specific effect on the throat and
lungs; detaches from the air cells all ir
ritating matter; causes it to he expecto
rated, and atonce checks the inflammation
which produces the cough. A single doso
relieves ihe most distressing paroxysm,
soothes nervousness, ami enables the suf
ferer to enioy quiet, rest at night. Being a
pleasant cordial, it tones the weak storu
i>: h, and is specially recommended lor
children.

Hair Vigw',
For restoring Gray Hair to
its natural Vitality and Color.
original color, with the gloss and
freshness of youth. Thin hair l*
thickened, falling hair checked, and
baldness often, though not always,
cured by its use. Nothing can re
store the hair where the follicles arc
destroyed, or the glands atrophied
and decayed. But such as remain
can be saved for usefulness by tins
applicat ion. Instead of fouling the
hair with a pasty sediment, it will
keep it clean and vigorous. Its
occasional use will prevent the hair
from turning gray or falling off,
and consequently prevent baldness.
Free from those deleterious sub
stances w hich make some prepara
tions dangerous and injurious to
the hair, the Vigor can only'benefit
but not harm it. If wanted merely
for a
HAIR DRESSING,
nothing else can be found so desir
able. Containing neither oil n° r
dye, it does not soil white cam
bric, and yet lasts long on the hair,
giving it a rich glossy lustre and a
grateful perfume.
