you can commit in the estimation of others
is to get on • etter than they do. They

Five hundred persons start for a certain
goal of success; one reaches it and the other
499 are mad. It would take volumes to
hold the story of the wrongs, outrages and
defamations that have oome upon you as a
result of your success. The warm sun of
prosperity brings into life a swamp full of
annoving insects. On the other band, the un
fortunate classes have their struggles for
maintenance. To achieve a livelihood bv one
who l.ad nothing to start with, and after a
while for a family as well, and carry this
on until children are reared and educated
and fairly started in the world, and to do
this amid all the rivalries of business ani
the uncertainty of crops and the fickleness
of tariff legislation, with an occasional
labor strike and here and there a financial
panic thrown in, is a mighty thing to do,
and there are hundreds and thousands such
heroes and heroines who live unsung
and die nnhouored. What we all
need, whther up or down in
life or half way between, is the
infinite solace of the Christian religion.

Deed be left in the lurch.
I like the faith displayed years ago in
Drury iAne, London, in an humble home
where every particle of food had given out,
and a kindly soul entered with tea and
other table supplies, aDd found a kettle on
the fire ready for the tea. The benevolent
lady said: “How is it that you have tbs
kettle re dy for the tea when you had no
tea in the bouse?” And the daughter In the
borne said: “Mother would have me put
the kettle on the Are, and when I said ‘what
Is the use of doing so, when
we haye nothing in the house P
she said ‘my child, God will pro
vide; thirty years he has already provided
for me through all my pain and helpless
ness, and he will not leave me to starve at
last. He will send us help, though we do
not yet see how.’ We ha>e been waiting
all the day for something to come, but until
we saw you we knew not how it was to
come.” Such things the world may call
coincidences, but I call them almighty de
liverances, and. though you do not hear of
thwui, they are occurring every hour of
every day and in all parts of Chirstsndom.
But the word ‘ Come” applied to those
who need solace will amount to nothing un
less it be uttered by someone who ha. ex
perienced that solace. That spreads the
(asp mobility of giving this gospel call
among a great many. Those who have lost
property and been consoled by religion in
that trial are the ones to invite those who
have failed in bu-loess. Those who have
lost their health and been consoled by relig
ion are the ones to invite those who are in
poor health. Those who have had bereave
ments and been consoled in those iiereavo
jnents are the ones to sympathize with
those who have lost father or
mother or companion or child or
friend. What multitudes of us are alive
to-duy and m g >od health and buoyant in
this journey of life, who would have been
broken down or dead long ago but for tho
sustaining and cbe ring help of our holy
religion! So we say—“ Come!” The well
is not dry. The buckets are not empty.
The supply is not exhausted. There is just
ns much mercy and condolence and suo.n
ing power in God as before the first grave
vas dug, or the first tear started, or the
first heart broken, or the first accident
happened, or the first fortune vanished.
Those of us who have felt the consolatory
power of religion have a right to speik out
of our own experiences, and say—“ Come!”
What dismal work of condolence the
■world make- when it attempts to condole!
The broken bones under tbeir bandage do
not knit. A farmer was lost in the snow
storm on a prairie of the far west. Night
coming on, and becoming almost frantio
from not knowing which way to go, his
Heigh struck the rut of another sleigh, and
he said, "I will follow this rut and it will
take me out to safety.” He has enod on
until he beard the bells of the preceding
horses, but, coming up, he found
that that man was also lost and, as
is the tendency of those who are
confused in the forest or on the
moors, they were both moving in a circle
and the runner of the one Inst sleigh was
following the runner of the other lost sleigh
round and round. At las: it oocurred to
them to look at the north star, which was
peering through the nigut, and by the dU
rection of that star they got home again.
Those who follow the advice of this world
in time of perplexity are in a fearful round,
for it is one bewildered soul following an
other bewildered soul, and ouly those who
have in such tune got their eye on the
morning star of our Christian faith can
find their way out, or be strong enough to
lead others with an all-pereuaslve invita
tion.
‘•But,” says someone, “you Christian
people keep telling us to *oome.’ yet you do
not tell us how to come." That charge
shall not be true on this occasion. Come
believing! Come repenting! Come pray
ing! After all that God has been doing for
6,000 years, sometimes through patriarchs
and sometimes through prophets, and at
hast through the culmination of all trage
dies on. Golgotha, cau any one think that
God will not welcome your coming? Will
a father at vast outlay construct a man
sion for his son, and fay out parks white
with statues, and green with foliage, and all
a-soai'kle with fountains, and then not al
low his son to live in the house, or walk in
the parks? Has God built this house of
gospel mercy and will he then refuse en
trance to his children? Will a goveru
meut at great expense build life-saving
stations all along the coasts and boats that
can hover unhurt like a pstrel over the
■wildest surge, and then when the life-boat
has reached the wreck of a ship iu the offing
not allow the drowning to seise the life-liue
or take the boat for the shore in safety?
Shall God provide at the cost of his only
Son’s as assination escape for a sinking
world, and then turn a deaf ear to the cry
that comes up fro.u the breakers?
“But,” you say, “theie are so many

When Russia was in one of her great
wars, the suffering of t' e soldiers had been
long and bitter and they were waiting for
the end of the strife. One day a messenger
in great excitement rang aiming the tents of
the army shouting, “Peace! Peace!” The
sentinel on guard asked, "Who says
‘Peace?” And the sick soldier turned on
his hospital mattress and asked, “Who says
‘Peace?’ ” and .11 up and down the encamp

question, “Who says Peieel” Then the
mengr responded: “The Czar says,
‘Peace’” That was enough. That meant
going home. That meant the war was over.
No more wounds and no more long marches.
So to-day, as one of the Lord’s messengers,
I move through these great encampments of
souls and cry, “Peace between earth and
heaven! Peace between God and man!
Peace between your repenting soul a da

A GIRL KILLED BY A SNAKE.
Bitten In the Dark In Her Father’s
Office and Dying in a Few Hours.
Miss Kate Wilkins, daughter of Dr. J. B.
Wilkins of Freedom, Pa., says a special to
the Sun, is dead from a bite of one of two
pet snakes. Late in the fail a tramp who
had captured two large copperhead snakes
sold them to Dr. Wilkins, who intended to
send them to the zoological gardens at
Philadelphia. The snakes were put in a
large glass jar, the top being secured by a
covering of wire gauze, aud the jar wag
placed ou a bracket in the oorner of the
the doctor’s ofiice iu the village.
Last evening tue doctor and bis daughter
were returning from a visit to the country
and the doctor had occasion to make up a
prescription. They both entered the office,
and, the doctor lighting a lamp, a Urge
owl was attracted by the light and flew in
over the transom of the door. It struck
against the lamp, scattering the oil and
broken glass in every direction. The bird
seemed irantic, flying and dashing about,
and a crash of bolt ea was heard.
Meantime the dootor struck a match, and
just thou his daughter, with a loud cry,
sprang into his arms. The owl had upset
the jar from the bracket and the snakes
were at large. He called loudly for help.
It seemed hours, but scarcely live minutes
elapsed before several ladies and gentlemen
rushed iu. Miss Wilkins was insensible,
and was being cared for by the ladies, who
were terrified to lind one of the snakes
wound around one of the girl’s legs. All
drew back with horror, except a farmer
named Thomas, who seize ! the snake and
choked it lo death. It had bitten the girl
between the aukie and knee. She was taken
home immediately, and every known anti
dote for the poison was administered by her
father. It was without avail, for at 7
o’clock this morning she died.
Katie Wilkins.was almost 18 years of age,
and a favorite of all the people in the vil
lage. After taking the girl home, some of the
men, knowing there had been two snakes,
returned to the office and killed the other.
The body of the vouug woman was swollen
and spotted. The owl that caused the
trouble is a large aud beautiful specimen of
the snowy tribe. It is now in the possession
of Farmer Thomas. The dead girl had be
come quite attached to the snakes, and had
been lo the habit of feeding them. They
knew her voice, and her presence seemed
always to be known to them. She would
sometimes handle them, and seemed to have
no tear of them.

BREEZY TABLE TALK ABOUT MAR
RIAGE, BY WOMEN.
How Young People Courted and Mar
ried in Ante-Bellum Days Argu
ment Against Preparing beforehand.
Love Should Be the Tie That
Binds - Marriages Based on Any
thing Else a Failure - Begin at the
Beginning and Climb Upward.
Butler, Ga., Jan. 17.— The ideas of the
ante-bellum time upon almost any subject
are strong and substantial. They are inter
esting to the rest of os, and are Ukew.se
encouraging and instructive. It was a
time, during their bringing up, when the
fittest survived. Every tub stood on iu
own bottom and persons rose and fell as
they were worthy or worthless.
There were no iuxnries to make men
effeminate. They bad to inure to hard
ships and strike out from the shoulder.
Thera was mighty little “playing off.”
Around a neighbor’s fire the other day, a
party of elderly women were discussing
various subjects when the subject of kissing
came np. Tne question was aked, “Do all
men kiss their wives before they marry
them?”
A lady, who should have known, because
she is a long lime married, raid that she
kuew she was as good as any other woman,
and she kissed her sweetheart often before
marrying him.
A KISS IS SACRED.
‘‘lt was sacred, though,” she added. “I
knew we were to be married, and I loved
him as well then, I knew, as I should ever
love him after. The engagement
was on in fact the wed
ding day was announced. I
knew him. X trusted, aid believed in him.
I was a girl of 17 years, but I knew what I
was doing. I kuew just as well that 1 loved
him, ana that he loved me, as I knew I
lived. We were too young to lay plans to
catch each other, even if we bad been dis
pose i.” The conversation drifted on, and
was discussed pro and con. It was admitted
that there may he instances where men and
women marry without k Using. Such
couples do not kiss afier marriage. Some
times they marry for money, s metimes for
position a dron etimes a match is mode by
pareoU; rarely, in either cage, is there one
bit of making love; consequently there is
no affectin, and ordinarily thee will be
no'kissing. Those are exceptions, however.
They are not the rule by any means.
The conversation was given a turn again
by a stanch old lady, who lived when
“everybody married for love,” as she ex
pressed it.
“if I had to marry in this day and time,
I might be more careful,” she said, “and
especially ir I was in love with a full-fledged
society man. Not that I would act differ
ently, if 1 were young again and married
my husband, but people Team more as they
grow older, and, as far as love it concerned,
they harden to it. They love less, after the
first sweet love-time is over. People used
to marry, you know, when they were
young—in the bloom of youth, so to speak."
The motherly old soul raised her cap and
cast her eyes around the room.
TOO MUCH TIME FOR FIXING.
“We don’t see it now. Everybody waits,”
she continued, “until they gel 'better fixed,’
as they say. Everybody trios to have a gay
time with everybody else, and this way of
having a sweetheart, whom you regard
above everybody, is a thing of the past,”
she said, with a curl of the lip. “It is vul
gar In this enlightened age. If anvbody is
ui love now the thing to do is to hide it. If
a young man has a sweetheart he must not
own her, and if a young lady loves, she
must learn early to deceive society. No
body will have a groat deal to do with her
if society finds it out, and her ‘cake is
dough.’ She's laid on the shelf. Then the
poor thing must pine away, os if she
cared for anybody but her sweetheart.
This way of mating off is out of
fashion. It will not do any more.
Little innocent birds do that—people mu it
practice something else. They must love,
and nobody must know it, until the en
gagement is announced. That is, when the
bride Is too busy to receive, and the young
man too closely applied to go among his
fi tends. ”
She shook her head again, and pushed her
eye glasses up. "0, times are nothing like
they once we; e. They areterribly changed.”
Then,” she oontinueii “we married
because we loved. The man would say,
•We will marry and be happy together.’
He didn’t say wait until I get ‘fixed up,’
unt 11 make a fortune on cotton, or make
on stocks, or until I own a farm. He said,
‘We will endure hardships if they come.
We will together make our fortune.’ Now
let us look around us,” she said, "and half
of the old people we see made this sort of a
contract. They are the happiest people in
this world, too. They may sit down and
tell how they braved the tem
pest of hardship, aud how
they rode out the storm of fear. For my
part,” she said, looking into the fire, “for
my part I should feel very small if I was
sensible that I contributed nothing to my
husband’s prosperity. I should always wish
I might have an opportunity to show him
that I was strong and wanted to help.
can’t fall from the bottom.
"Again, when people start out just ‘dry
so,’ that cau’t have a fall. They are al
ready at the bottom. How many nice
young men do we see who h ive made some
sort of preparation, as they call it, before
marrying, fall back lower than they began.
A lot of things contribute to this. It may
be too much reserved! ess. caused by not
having to stir about iu the beginning; it
may have been that the prepai atio i of the
young man appeared greater than it was, or
it was that the wife believed she had ‘mir
ried more’than, in truth, she l ad. When
this is the case, there is remorse some where.
Either the young man is sorry be deceived
the girl, or she regrets that she married
him. Then the world turus its eyes
upon them. They are commonly discussed,
and bandied about in a plain muuner. And
whether there is a real reason for it, or not,
people say, they were too foolish to marry.
Every ody says ‘right straight,’ ‘two fools
met and married.’
"The young man is oftener discouraged,or
cowed by such misfortunes, and it’s ten to
one, he never rises.
“What would have been the result.lf love
and courage had been the sole prompters of
the union? If the youug folks hadn’t cared
a ‘thrip’ for the opinion of others, since
thoy got married. If they had respected
their vows, before they gave thought to
their preparation. I tell you there would
have ben no disappointment, no regrets,
no i emorse.
“There would have been a preparation,
but it would have come later. It will not
be the man alone whose hands will be busy
around home. Tbo woman, the wife, will
have a ha:d in the ‘fixing up.’ That’s
what she wants, if she is true. She will
say, ‘This is the way we make our start;’
not ‘The way you started for us.’
“Why, bless you, the woman loves todo
about as well as the mau. Do people think
they were put here to t ang superfluously
on as clogs to men’s feet? Why, I’d die
‘stark dead’ if I had to stand by and hold
my hands.
NO LOVg IN IT.
“These girls who marry and content
themselves with letting their husbands do
all are not very deeply in love. They mar
ried for position - r ease.
“.There is no living, to mv notion of
thinking, in such business as that. Poor
woman has fallen when she doer so. She
is not then the grandest creature of God’s
hand. A toad frog is more sincere. What
a noble, inspiring feeling thrills us as we
watch brave y>utigmen, aud courageous
youug women, forging their way tbr ugh
tho ranks, a< they clijnb, climb, climb.
Brave hearts, true hearts; meeting Ife
fearlessly, and fighting it bravely.
They stayed at the bottom long enough to
know that they did not always wish to be
ther , and they made a resolve. The eves
of the people then are turned upon them.
VI hat do people say of them? They say,
•They are the kind to marry.’
•Ah! there’s a hero.’ ‘He will lead us.’
‘We mav follow such a conquer r.’ The
old look fondly on, and point them out as
examples to the young.
“ Whenever we see those youngsters b >
are of the opinion that they must prepare
to sup: art a wife, y u may set it down that
tne wife will have to mpp rt him. There
is a lacs of ma liness about him—a want of
real independence.
“Those fellows who imagine that happi

“If you can’t do this, hire out. Don’t mar

"A young man’s fancy should not lightly
turn to thoughts of love. It ought to be
a weighty subject with him. It is sacred
with the honest and the brave.
God is lore 1 lie made us to lore. It is

Here the old wo nan looked around, and
finding still an audie ce, she sank rack into
her nker and warbled this refrain:
But those who wait for gold or gear,

GARNETS BY TH 1 ? WAGON LOAD.
Discovery of a New Field at Grayson*
Kentucky.
Portsmouth, 0., Jan. 18.— There Is eon*
siderable excitement a few miles from Gray
son, Ky., over discoveries of garnets in
large quantities on several of the large
tributaries of Guyon river. It appears that
the presence of the garnets was a certained
a year ago by several Cincinnati gentlemen,
who were looking for timber lauds. They
secured nearly a gallon of the gems, aud
sent a number of them to lapidaries in Lon
don, England, for examination. The report
has juit been received. It declares the stones
of first quality, though not very large. The
discoverers say thev can ga.u.r a wagon
load of the stouos with little trouble, and
announce that t ,e abundance of the garnets
point to the presence of a heavy tin deposit.
A 6ure Cure for Diphtheria.
Dr. E. Quin Thornton, a recent graduate
of the Jefferson Medical College of this city,
says a Philadelphia special to the Herald,
has discovered what he considers an abso
lute cure for the diphtheria. While treat
ing a severe case of this terrible disease
some days ago, it occurred to him that a
solution of hydrogen peroxide would dis
solve the diphtheritic membranes and save
his patient’s life. Accordingly he sprayed
the throat and nares with the solution by
means of an automizer, and was over
joyed at the instantaneous result.
In a few moments after the painless
operation, the membranous growth, which
produces death by septic infectiou, was re
moved from the diseased parts with ease,
and the patient rallied at once, and is now’
on the road to rapid recovery. Dr. Thorn
ton will report the result of his experience
at the meeting of the J. M. De Costa So
ciety of the College of Physicians and Sur
geons.

If you have made up your mind to buy
Hood’s Sarsaparilla do not be induced to take
any other. A Boston lady, whose example is
worthy imitation, tells her experience below:
“ In one store where I went to buy Hood’s
Sarsaparilla the clerk tried to Induce me buy
their own instead of Hood's; he told me thelr’s
would last longer; that I might take it on ten
To Get
days’ trial; that If I did not like it I need not
pay anything, etc. But he could not prevail
on me to change. I told him I had taken
Hood’s Sarsaparilla, knew what it was, was
satisfied with it, and did not want any other.
When I began taking Hood’s Sarsaparilla
I was feeling real miserable with dyspepsia,
and so weak that at times I could hardly
Hood’s
stand. I looked like a person in consump
tion. Hood’s Sarsaparilla did me so much
good that I wonder at myself sometimes,
and my friends frequently speak of it.” Mas.
