Inconveniences of Child Marriage.
A marriage took place the other
day, the parties being a Bhattia
widower of about forty and a Bhattia
girl of about nine. The disparity in
ego is rather startling and it is aggra-
vuted by other circumstances; for in¬
stance, the widower lias a daughter
of about eighteen engaged as a teach¬
er at a school at which her father is
honorary manager, or something like
it. And his girl wife of nine is a pu¬
pil at the school tinder his daughter
of eighteen. The first tiling the girl
wife of nine did on marrying was to
remonstrate with her daughter of
eighteen as to how she, the mother,
could possibly sit at school on a bench
while the daughter taught her from
a chart! What is the poor daughter to
do? She must give up her appoint¬
ment as schoolmistress or her dear
mother of nine must give up attend¬
ing school. It is for the father and
husband to decide.—Indian Spectator.

Text: "I will open my dark saying upon
the harp.”—Psalm xlix.j 4.
The world is full of the inexplicable, the
impassable, the unfathomable, the insur¬
mountable. We cannot go three steps in
any direction without coming up against a
hard wall of mystery, riddles, paradoxes,
profundities, labyrinths; problems that we
cannot solve, hieroglyphics tha" we cennot
decipher, anagrams we cannot spell out.
sphinxes that will not speak. For that
reason David in my text proposed to take
up some of these somber and dark things
and try to set them to sweet music. “I
will open my dark sayings on a harp.”
So I look off upon society and find people
in unhappy conjunction of circumstances.
and they do not know what it means, and
they have a right to ask, Why is this? Why
is work that? by and I think I will be’doing a good
trying to explain some of these
flt r » n « e thi n p and make yon more content
, , SaVdlfot.t KTSSS
me. or that we have all asked ourselves,
while I try to set these mysteries to music
aU(1 °P en mv dark savings on a harp.
Interrogation the first: Why does God
take out of this world those who are use-
ful and whom we cannot spare and leave
alive and in good health so many who are
only a nuisance to the world? I thought I
7XZ 2^H2T'SWtE
most useful men and women die at thirty
or forty yeara of age, white you often find
useless people alive at sixty and seventy
and eighty. John Careless wrote to Brad-
,or< *- wl ]° was soon to be put to death
saying: ‘Why doth God suffer me and sueh
other caterpilllars to live, that can do
^^thy’ nothing but consume the alms of the
and take away so many
workmen in the Lord’s vine-
yard?” Similar questions are often
asked. Here are two men. The one is a
noble character and a Christian man.
He chooses for a lifetime companion one
who has been tenderly reared, and she
is worthy of him and he is worthy of her.
As merchant or farmer or professional man
or mechanic or artist he toils to educate
and rear his children. He is succeeding,
but he has not yet established for his family
a full competency. Heseems indispensable
to that household; but one day, before he
has paid off the mortgage on his house, he
is coming home through a strong north¬
east wind and a chill strikes through
him, and four days of pneumonia end
his earthly career, and the wife and
children go into a struggle for shelter
and food. His next door neighbor is a
man who though strong and well, L ts his
W'fe support him. He is around at the
groeory store or some general loafing place
in the evenings while his wife sews. His
boys are imitating his example, and lounge
and swagger and swear. All the use that
man is in that house is to rave because the
coffee is cold when he comes to a late
breakfast, or to say cutting things about
his wife’s looks, when he furnishes nothing
for her wardrobe. The best thing that
could happen to that family would be that
man’s lives funeral, but he declines to die. He
on and on and on. So we have all
noticed that many of the useful are early
cut off, while the parasites have great vital
tenacity.
I take up this dark saying on my harp
and give three or four tnrumson the string
in the way of surmising and hopeful guess.
Perhaps the useful man was taken out of
the world because he and his family were
so constructed that they could not have
endured some great prosperity that might
have been just ahead, and they altogether
might have gone down in the vortex of
worldliness which every year swallows up
10,000 households. And so lie went while
he was humble and consecrated, and they
were by the severities of life kept close to
Christ and fitted for usefulness here and
high seats in heaven, and when they meet
at last before the throne they will ue-
knowledge that, though the furnace
was hot, it purified them and pre¬
pared them for an eternal career of
glory and reward for which no other kind
of life could have fitted them. On the
other hand, the useless man lived on to
fifty or sixty or seventy years because all
the ease he ever can have he must have in
this world, and you ought not, therefore,
begrudge him his earthly longevity. In
all the ages there has not a single loafer
ever entered heaVen. There is no place for
him there to hang around; not even in the
temples, for they are full of vigorous,
alert and rapturous worship. If the good
and useful go eaily, rejoice for them that
they have so soon got through with human
life, which at best is a struggle. And if
the useless and the bad stay, rejoice that
they may be out in the world’s fresh air a
good many years before their final incar¬
ceration.
Interrogation the second: Why do good
people have so much trouble, sickness,
bankruptcy, persecution, the three black
vultures sometimes putting their fierce
beaks into one set of jangled nerves? I
think now of a good friend I once had. He
was a consecrated Christian man, an elder
in the church, and as polished a Christian
gentleman as ever walked Broadway. First
his general health gave out and he hobbled
around on a cane, an old man at forty.
After awhile paralysis struck him. Having
by poor healthTjeen compelled suddenly to
quit business, he lost what property be
had. Then his beautiful daughter died;
then a son became hopelessly demented.
Another son, splendid of nind and com¬
manding of presence, resolved that he
would take care of his father’s household,
but under the swoop of yellow fever at
Fernandiua, Fla., he suddenly expired. So
you know good men and women who have
had enough troubles, you think, to crush
fifty people. No worldly philosophy could
take such a trouble and set it to music, or
play it on violin or flute, but I dare to open
that dark saying on a gospel harp.
You wonder that very consecrated people
have trouble? Did you ever know any
very consecrated man or woman who had
not.’ had great trouble? Never! It was
through their troubles sanctified that they
were made very good. If you find any¬
where in this city a man who has now, and
always has had, perfect health, and never
lost a child, and has always been popular
and never had business struggle or misfor¬
tune, who is distinguished for goodness,
pull bov your send wire for word, a telegraph messenger
and me and I will drop
everything and go right away to look at
him." There never has been a man like that
and never will be. Who are those arro¬
gant, self conceited ereatnres who move
about without sympathy for others and
who think more of a St. Bernard dog
or an Alderney cow or a Southdown
s heep or a Berkshire pig than of a man?
They never sanctified. had any trouble, or the trouble
was never Who are those men
^gSt^rwh.T.,?
their voice and a kindness in their manner
and an excuse or an alleviation for those
gone astray? They are the men who have
graduated at the Royal Academy of Trou¬
ble. and they have the diploma written in
wrinkles on their own countenances. My,
my! What heartaches they had! What
tears have"suffered! they have wept! What injustice
they The rcigh iest influ¬
ence for purification and salvation is
trouble.
There are only three things that can
break off a chain—a hammer, a file or a fire
—and trouble is all three of them. The
greatest writers, orators and reformers get
much of their force from trouble. What
gave to Washington Irving that exquisite
tenderness and pathos which will maxe his
books favorites whilethe English language
continues to be written and spoken? A»
eRriy heartbreak, tlftxt he never once
mentioned, and when thirty years after
the deatu of Matilda Hoffnaan. who was
to have been his bride, her father picked
ho a piece of embroidery and said,
“That is a piece of poor Matilda’s
workmanship.” Washington Irving sank
from hilarity into silence and walked
away. Out of that lifetime grief the
great author dinped his oen’s mightiest re¬
enforcement. Calvin’s “Institutes of Re¬
ligion,” than which a more wonderful
book was never written by human hand,
was becun by the author at twentv-flve
years of age, because of the persecution
by Francis, king of France. Faraday
toiled for ail time on a salarv of £80 a vea’r
and candles. A« every brick of the wall of
Babylon was stamped with the letter N,
standing for Nebuchadnezzar, so every
part of the temple of Christian achieve¬
ment Is stamped with the letter T, stand¬
ing for trouble.
'N hen in England a man Is honored with
the knighthood, he is struck with the flat of
sword. But those who have come to
knighthood in the kingdom of God were
first struck, not with the flat of the sword,
but with the keen edge of the seimeter. To
build his magnificence of character Taul
could not have spared one lash, one prison,
one stoning, one anathema, one poisonous
viper from the hand, one shipwreck. What
is true of individuals is true of nations.
The horrors of the American Revolution
gave this country this side of the Mississ-
ippj River to independence and France gave
the most of this country we3t of the Miss¬
issippi ownei to the United States. France
England it, but Napoleon, fearing that
would take it, practically
made a present to the United States—for
he received only $15,000,000 for Louisiana,
Missouri, Arkansas, Kansas, Nebraska,
Iowa, Wyoming Minnesota, Colorado, Dakota, Mon¬
tana, and the Indian Territory.
Out of the fire of the American Revolution
came this country east of the Mississippi,
out of the European war came that west
pire of the Mississippi River. The British em¬
rose to its present overtowering
grandeur through gunpowder plot and Guy
Fawkes’ conspiracy and Northampton in¬
surrection and Walter Raleigh’s beheading
and Bacon’s bribery and Cromwell’s disso¬
lution of parliament and the battles of
Edge Hill and the vicissitudes of centuries.
So the earth itself, before it could become
an appropriate aud beautiful residence for
the human family, had, according to geol¬
ogy, to be washed by universal deluge and
scorched and made incandescent by uni¬
versal fires, and pounded by sledge hammer
of icebergs and wrenched by earthquakes
that split continents, and shaken by vol¬
canoes that tossed mountains and passed
through the catastrophes of thousands of
years before paradise became possible and
the groves could shake out their green ban¬
ners and the first garden pour its carnage
of color between theGihon aud the Hidde¬
kel. Trouble—a good thing for the rocks,
a good thing for nations, as well as a good
thing for individuals. So when you push
against me with a sharp interrogation
point, Why do the good suffer? I opeu the
dark saying on a harp, and, though I can
neither play an organ or cornet or hautboy
or bugle or clarinet, I have taken some
lessons on the gospel harp, and if you would
like to hear me I will play you these: “All
things work together for good to those who
love God.”
Interrogation thirds Why did the good
God let sin or trouble come into the world
when He might have kept them out? My
reply is, He bad a good reason. He had
reasons that He has never given us. He
had reasons which He could no more make
us understand in our finite state than the
father, starting out on some great and
elaborate enterprise, could make the two-
year-old child in its armed chair compre¬
hend it. One wa3to demonstrate what gran¬
deur of character may be achieved on earth
by conquering evil, Had there been no
evil to conquer and no trouble to console,
then this universe would never have
known an Abraham or a Moses or a Joshua
or an Ezekiel or a Paul or a Christ or a
Washington or a John Milton or a John
Howard, and a million victories which hava
been gained by the consecrated spirits of
all ages would never have been gained.
Had there been no battle, there would have
been no victory, Nine-tenths of the an-
thems of heaven would never have been
sung. Heaven could never have been a
thousandth part of the heaven that it is. 1
will not say that I am glad that sin an
sorrow did enter, but I do say that I am
glad that after God has given all His
reasons to an assembled universe He will
be more honored than if sin aud sorrow had
never entered and that the unfallen
celestials will be outdone and will put
down their trumpets to listen and it will
be in heaven when those who have con¬
quered sin and sorrow shall enter as it
would be in a small singing school on earth
if Thalberg and Gottschalk aud Wagner and
Beethoven and Rheinberger and Schumann
should all at once enter. The immortals
that have been chanting 10,000 years before
the throne will say, as they close their
librettos, “Oh, if we could only sing like
that!” But God will say to those who have
never fallen and consequently have not
been redeemed, “You must be silent now;
you have not the qualification for this an¬
them.” So they sit with closed lips and
folded hands, and sinners saved by grace
take up the harmony, for the Bible says
“no man could learn that song but the bun¬
dled and forty and four thousand which
were redeemed from the earth.”
A great prima donna, who can now do
anything with her voice, told me that when
she first started in music her teacher in
Berlin told her she could be a good singer,
but a certain note she could never reach.
“And then,” she said, “ I went to work and
studied and practiced for years until I did
reach it.” But the song of the singer re¬
deemed, the Bible says, the exalted har¬
monists who have never sinned could not
reach and never will reach. Would you
like to hear me in a very poor way play a
snatch of that tune? I ean give you
only one bar of the music on this gospel
harp, “Unto Him that hath loved us
and washed us from our sins in His own
blood and hath made us kings and priests
unto God and the Lamb, to Him be glory
and dominion forever and ever, amen.”
But before leaving this interrogatory, why
God let sin come into the world, let me say
that great battles seem to be nothing but
suffering and outrage at the time of their
occurrence, yec after they have been a long
while past we can see that it was better for
them to have been fought, namely, Sal-
amis, Inkermau, Toulouse, Arbela. Agin-
court, Sedan. Trafalgar, Blenheim, Lexington,
But here I must slow up lest in trying to
solve mysteries I add to the mystery that
we have already wondered at—namely,
why preachers should keep on after all the
hearers are tired. Sol gather up into one
great armful all the whys aud hows and
wherefores of your life and mine, which
we have not had time or the ability to an¬
swer, and write on them the words. “Ad¬
journed to eternity.” I rejoice that we do not
understand all things now. for if we did
what would we learn in heaven? If we
knew it all down here in the freshman and
sophomore class, what would bo the use of
our going up to stand amid the juniors and
the seniors? If we could put down one leg
of the compass and with the other sweep a
circle clear around all the inscrutables, if
we could lift our little steelyards aud
weigh the throne of the Omnipotent, if we
could with our seven-day clock measure
eternity, what would be left for heavenly
revelation? So I move that we cheer¬
fully adjourn what is now beyond our
comprehension, and as, according to Rol-
lin, the historian, Alexander the Great,
having obtained the gold casket in which
Darius had kept his rare perfume, used
that aromatic casket thereafter to keep his
favorite copy of Homer in and called the
book, therefore, the “edition of the casket,”
and at night put the casket and his sword
under his pillow, so I put this day into the
perfumed casket of your richest affections
and hopes, this promise worth more than
Homer ever wrote or sword ever con¬
quered, “What I do thou knowest not
now, but thou shait know hereafter,” and
that I call the “edition-celestial.”

If you have a carpet that looks dingy and
you wish to restore it to its original freshness,
make a stiff lather of Ivory Soap and warm
water and scrub it, width by width, with the
lather. Wipe with a clean damp sponge. Do
not apply more water than necessary.
The vegetable oils of which Ivory Soap is made, and its purity,
fit it for many special uses for which other soaps are unsafe and
unsatisfactory

A SPLENDID WORK.
Report of Industrial Bureau of the
Seaboard Air Line.
Capt. John T. Patrick, chief indus¬
trial agent of the Seaboard Air Line,
r eports that for the fiscal year ending
June 30, 1898, 94 enterprises have
been established on the line of the
various roads comprising the Seaboard
Air Line syetem, consisting of eight
cotton factories, thirteen canning fac¬
tories, five clothing factories, nine
flouring mills, three spoke and handle
factories, three furniture factories,
one broom factory, one rope and twine
factory, one shirt factory, one agri¬
cultural implement factory, one bicy¬
cle, two buggy and wagon and one
baking powder factory and forty-six
miscellaneous factories.
He further reports that 443 families
have settled upon the line during the
past year, bringing with them nearly
$1,000,000, and aggregating in number
of persons over 2,000; also that there
have been set out 224,000 fruit and
shade trees at stations on the line
during the past year.
Twenty-two experiment farms have
been started during the year, and
three agricultural libraries, in the di¬
rect interest of farmers, are being
maintained through his department,
and books from catalogues are being
drawn and forwarded to farmers living
upon the line on request.—Wilming¬
ton Dispatch.
Philadelphia’s Dog Ambulance.
The ambulance built especially for
flogs and small animals, and the only
one of its kind in the world, has been
put in use in the veterinary department
of the University of Pennsylvania. The
exterior of the palace car dog wrsgon
is decorated on each side with a vig¬
nette of a grand-looking St. Bernard,
and the inside is covered with remov¬
able antiseptic pads to guard against
contagious diseases. In order to avoid
belligerent encounters between the in¬
jured four-footed patients of this trav¬
eling hospital, it has been provided
with movable slides, so that the in¬
terior can be divided into various sized
compartments. It contains also cages
attached to the top and sides for pet
bKd3 and poultry.

OYEK-WROUGHT NERVES OF WOMEN.
Extracts From Letters Received by Mrs. Pinkham.
« *• I am so nervous and wretched.” ‘T feel as if I should fly.” How familiar
these expressions are. Little things annoy you and make you irritable. You
can t sleep, you are unable to lift ordinary burdens, and
are subject to dizziness.
That bearing-down sensation helps to make you

A You have backache and pains low down
the side, pain in top of head, later on

Such a condition points unerringly to
serious uterine trouble.

The Lutheran Orphan Home,

therans, is located at Salem. Va. The Insti¬
tution is In its infancy, having been in oper¬
ation only a few years. The buildings are
not imposing, but are substantial and com¬
fortable. With limited means the institution
is conducted in the most economical and
spnring way. It is unpretentious in its work.
Its object is to give the children a common
school education, an industrial training, and
a moral and religious culture, and thus pre¬
pare living them to make a respectable and honest
for themselves, and flt them for living
in Christian society. During the few years
of its existence the Home has been caring for
and rearing children who would otherwise
have been neglected. The Homo is now sore¬
ly in need of money nnd supplies. If during
the Xmas seasou, when all hearts aioopen to
this generous noble deeds, any one is moved to help on
work, it will be gratefully received
and God will bless the cheertui giver. All
money and gifts may be sent to the Superin¬
tendent, Rev. B. W. Cronk. Salem, Va.
