For awhile It deflected and de generated ,-and from nil I can read for ages tho whole tendency w/»h toward barbarism, but under the over widening and deepening influence of Christianity the tendency la now In tho upward direction. Tho physical ap pearance of the human race In seventy-five per cent, more attractive than In tho six teenth. (seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. From the pictures on canvas and the facets and forms la sculpture of those who wore consid ered the grand looking men and the attrac tive women of 200 years ago I conclude the superiority of the men and women of our time. Hitch looking people of the p ist cen turies ns painting and sculpture have pre sented hs flue specimens of beauty and dig nity would be In our timeGonri'lored deform ity and rcpulalveness complete. Tho fact that many men and women in antediluvian times were night and ton foot high tended to make the human race obnoxious rather than winning. Hticn portable mountains of hu man flesh did not add to tho charms of tho world. But in no climate and In no age did (hero ever appear any one who In physical nt- Irnetlvene a could he compared to Him whom my t<-xt celebrates thousand! of years be,ore Ho put His infantile foot on the hill back of I’Utdehem. lie was and Is altogether lovely’. Tho physical appearance of Christ is, lor the most part, an artistic guess. Home writers declare Him to have boon a brunette or dark complexloned. St. John, of Damas cus, writing IKK) years ago, and so much nearer than ourselves to the time of Christ, and hence with more likelihood of accurate tradition, represents Him with beard black, and curly eyebrows joined together, anil “yellow complexion, and long Angers like His mother.” An author, writing 1500 years Jlirist as a blond : “Ills hair Is tlio color of wine and golden at tlie root, straight and without luster, but from the level of the cars, curling and glossy, and divided down the center after tho fashion of the Nar.Irenes. His forehead Is even and smooth, His face without blemish and en hanced by a tempered bloom, His counten ance Ingenuous and kind. Nose and mouth are In no way faulty. Ills beard Is full, of the same color as His hair and forked in form: Ills eyes blue uud extromoly brill iant. My opinion Is, it was a Jewish faco. His motiier was a Jewess, and Iherc Is no wo manhood on earth more beautiful than Jew ish womanhood. Alas that He lived no long before the daguerreah and photographic arts wore born, or wo might have known His oxnc! features. 1 know that sculpture and painting were born long before Christ, and they might have transferred from olden times to our times tho forehead, the nostril, the eye, the lips of our Lord. Phidias, the sculptor, put down his chisel of enchantment 500 years bofore Christ came. Why did not some one take up that chisel and give us tho side faco or full face of our Lord? Folygnotls, the painter, put down his pencil 400 years bofore Ohrlst. Why did not some one ta«o It up and give us at least tho eye of our Lord—the eye, that sovereign ol the face? Dionysius, the literary artist who saw at Heliopolis, Egypt, the strange darkening of the heavens at the time of Christ’s crucifixion near Jerusalem, and not knowing what It was, but describing It ns a peculiar eclipse of tho sun, and saying, "Kit her the Dloty suffers or sympathizes with some sufforor,’' that Dionysius might have put Ills pen to the work and drawn the portrait of our Lord. But, no ; tlio flue arts were busy perpetuating the form and ap pearance of the worl i's favorites only, and not tho form and appearance of tho peasantry, among whom (,'hirst appeared. It was not until tho fifteenth century, or r.^iil more than 1400 years after Christ, that talented painters attempted by pencil to give us tho Idea of Christ’s face. The pictured - bofore that time were so offensive that tho council at Constantinople forbade their htbitlon. But Leonardo da Vine!. In tho fif teenth century, presented Christ’s fane on two canvases, yet the one was a repulsive face and the other an olTcmlnate face. Raph ael's face of Christ Is a woak face. Albert Duror’s face of Christ was a savage face Titian’s face of Christ Is an expresslonles 4 face. The mightiest artists, either with pen ell or chisel, lmvo made signal failure in at tempting to give the forehead, the cheek, the eyes, tho nostril, tho mouth of ourblessod Lord. But about His fneo 1 can toll you something nosltlvo and beyond controversy. 1 am sure 11 was a soulful faco. The face Is ouly tho curtain of tho soul. It was impossible that a disposition like Christ’s should not have demonstrated Itself in Ills physiognomy. Kindness as an occasional Impulse may give no Illumination to tho features, but kindness as tho lifelong, dominant habit will produce attractiveness of eountenanco as certainly as the shining of the sun produces flowers. Children are afraid of a scowling or hurd- vlsugod man. They ory out if ho proposes to lake them. If be try to enross them, he evokes a slap rather than a kiss. All mothers know how hard it Is to got tholr children to go to a man or woman of forbidding appear ance. But no soonor did Christ appear in the domestic group than there was an in fantile excitement and tho youngsters began to struggle to get out of their mothers' arms. They could not hold the ohlldrou back. "Stand back with those children!” scolded some of tho disciples. Perhaps the little ones may huvoTunm playing in the dirt, an l their faces may not have been clean, or they may not have been well clad, or the disciples may have thought Christ's religion was a religion chiefly for big folks. But Christ made the Infantile excitement •dill livelier by His say ing that He liked children better than grown people, declaring, “Except ye become as a little child ye cannot enter Into the kingdom of God.” Alas for those people who do not like chil dren ! They had bettor stay out of heaven, for tho place Is full of them.

Hoinottmea Mntthow or Mark or Luke tolls a story of Christ, and only one tells it. but Matthew, Mark and Luke all join in that picture of Christ girdled by children, and l know by what occurred at that time that Christ ha l a face tull of geniality. Not only was Christ altogether lovely in rlls countenance, but lovely in His habits. I know, without being told, that the Lord who made the rivers and lakes and oceans was cleanly in His appearance. He disliked the disease ol leprosy not only because it was distressing, but because it was not clean, and HI i cui itivo wot Is were "1 will B thou clean." He declared Himself in favor ol thoroughly washing ami opposed (o super ficial washing rites lor making clean only “the outside < id Tie applauds Ills disoipl the phitte things blind He i* tasted, among other h thy face." and to a us doctoring.

I know that Irom of the world is water. Christ iu such constant water l know lie was personally although He mingled much among rough populations and took such loui,’ journeys on dusty highways. He wore Hi* hair long, according to the custom of 11 it land and time, but neither trouble nor ok ago had thinned or injured Ills looks, which were never worn shaggy or uukempt. Yea, all His habits of personal appearance were lovely. Sobriety was also an established habit ot IIts life. It: addition to the water, He drank the Juice of the grape. Wheu at a wedding narly this beverage gave out. He mads'gal lons ou gallons of grape juice, but it was us tin."k« wliat the world makes in our time as health is «\bT —*»nt from disease and as calm pulses arc different from tho paroxysms of icllrluai trouiens. There was uo strychnine In that beverage or logwood or mix vomica. The tipplers and the sots who uo.v quote the winemaking In C tua of Galilee as an ex cuse for tot* fiery and damning beverages of the nineteenth century forget that the wine at the New Testament wedding had two characteristics -the one that the Lord made If and the other that It was made out of water. Buy all you can of that kind and drink It at least three times a day and send a barrel of It round to my cellar. You cannot make me believe that the blessed Christ who went up and flown heal ing the sick would create for man that style of drink which Is the cause of disease more than all other causes combined, or that Ho who calmed the maniacs Inlo their right mind would create that style of drink which docs more than anything else to fill Insane asylums, or that He who was so helpful to the poor would make a stylo of drink that crowds the earth with pauperism, or that He Who came to savo tho nations from sin would create a liquor that Is the source of most of the crime that now stuffs the penitentiaries. A lovely sobriety was written all over His faco, from the hair lino of the forehead to the bottom of the bearded chin. Domostlolty woe also His habit. Though loo poor to have a homo of His own, He wont out to spend the night at Bethany, two or throe miles’ walk from Jerusalem, and over a rough and hilly road that made It equal to six or seven ordinary miles, every morning and night going to and fro. I would rather walk from here to Central Park, or walk from Edinburgh to Arthur’s Heat, or In London clear around Hyde Park, than to walk that road that Christ walked twice a day from Jerusalem to Bethany. But He liked the qulotude of home life, and Ho was lovely In His domesticity. How He enjoyed handing over the resur rected girl to her father, and reconstructing homesteads which disease or death was breaking up! As tho song, "Homo, Hweet Home,” was written fry a man who at that time had no homo, so I think the homeless ness of Christ added to His appreciation ol domesticity. Furthermore, He was lovely In His sym pathies. Now, dropsy is a most distressful complaint. It Inflames nn:l swells and tor tures any limb or physical organ It touches. A« soon an a case of that kind Is submitted j> Christ, H«, without any use of diaphor etics, commands Its euro. And what an eye doctor Me was for opening the long closed gates of sight to the blue of the sky, and the yellow of the flower and tho emerald of the grass! What a Christ He was for cooling fevers without so much as a spoonful of febrifuge, and straightening crooked backs without any pang of surgery, and standing whole choirs Of music along the silent gal leries of a deaf ear, and giving healthful ner vous system to cataleptic# ! Sympathy! He did not give them stoical advloo or philoso phize about the science of grief. He sat down and cried for them. It Is spoken of as the shortest verso la the Bible, but to me It Is about the longest and grandest, "Josiu wept.” Ah, runny of us know tho meaning of that! When we were In great trouble, some one came In with vol uble consolation and quoted the Scripture In n sort of heartless way and did not help ns at all. But after awhile some one else came In, and without saying a word sit down and burst Into a flood of tears at the sight of our woe, and somehow It helped us right away. "Jesus wept.” You see. It was a deeply attached household, that of Mary and Martha and Lazarus. Tho father and mother were dead, and the girls depended on their brother. Lazarus had said to them : "Now, Mary, now, Martha, stop your worrying. I Will take care of you. 1 will be to you both father and mother. My arm Is strong. Girls, you eiu depend ou m >! ’ But now Lazarus was sick -yea, Lazarus was dead. All brokon up, tho sisters sit disconsolate, and there is a knock at the door. "Come In,” says Martha. "Come In,” says Mary. Christ entered, uni He just broke down. It was too much tor Him. He had been so often and so kindly entertained In that home before sickness and death dev astated it that Ho choked up and sobbed aloud, and the tears trickle.I dowu tho sad face of tho sympathetic Christ. "Jesus wept.” Why do you not try that mode of helping. You say, "I am a man of few words,” or "I am a woman of few words.” Why, your dear soul, words are not neces sary. Imitate your Lord and go to Close af flicted homes and ory with them. John Murphy 1 Woll, you did not know him. Once, when I was in great bereave ment, bo came to my house. Kind ministers of the gospel had come and talked beauti fully and prayed with us and did all they could to console. But John Murphy, one of tho best friends I over had, a big soule I, glorious Irishman, camo In and looked Into my face, put out his broad, strong hand and said not a word, but sat down and orlodwlth us. I am not enough of a philosopher tossy how It was or why It was. but somehow from door to door and from floor to celling the room was filled with an all pervading com fort. "J0BU9 wept.” think that Is what mnkos Christ such s popular Christ. There are so many who want sympathy. Miss Fisko, tho famous Noatorian missionary, was in tho chapel one ilay talking to tho heathen, ami she was In very poor health and so weak she sat upon a mat while she talked and folt tho need of something to loan against, when she felt a woman’s form at her back and heard a woman's voice saying, "Loan on mo.” 8ho leaned a little, but did not want to be too cumbersome, when the woman’s voice said, "Lean hard ; if you love mo, loan hard.” And that makes Christ so lovely. Ho wants all the sick and troubled and weary to lean against Him, and Ho says, "Lean hard , If you lovo Me, loan hard.” Aye, He is close by with His sympathetic help. Hod- ley Vicars, the famous soldier and Christian or the Crimean war, died because when he was woundod Ids regiment was too far off from the tent of supplies. He was not mor tally woundod, and If the surgeons could only have got at tho bandages and tho medi cines he would have recovered; 8o much of human sympathy and hopefulness comes loo late. But Christ Is always close by If ve want Him. and has all the medicines ready, and has eternal life for all who ask for It. Sympathy! Aye. Ho was lovely £n His doctrines. Roll sacrifice or the relief of the suffering of others by our own suffering. Ho was tho only physician that over proposed to cure His pa tients by taking their disorders. Rolf sucrl- llco! And wlmt did Ho not give up for others! The beet climate iu the universe, the air of heaven, for the wintry weather ol Palestine, a scepter of unlimited dominion for a prisoner's box in an earthly courtroom, a flushing tiara for a crown of stinging bfamblos, a palace for a outlie non, a throne fora cross. Self sacrifice! What Is more lovely? Mothers dying for their children down with scarlet fever, railroad engineers going down through the open drawbridgoto save the train, firemen scorched to death trying to help some one down the ladder from tho fourth story of the consuming house. All these put together only faint aud Insufficient similes by which to illustrate the grander, mightier, farther reaching self sac rifice of tho "altogether lovely." Do you wonder that the story of Ills self sacrifice has led hundreds of thousands to die for Him? In one series of persecutions over 200,000 wore put to death for Chrbt’i sake. For Him Blaudinn was tied to a post and wild beasts were let out upon her, and when life eonUnuc.il after tho attack of tooth and paw she was put in a net, aud that net containing her was thrown to a wild bull that tossed her with its horns till life tmet. All for Christ ! Huguenots dying for Christ 1 Alblgensns dying for Christ! The Yuudois dying for Christ! Sralthfield fires endured for Christ ! The bones of martyrs, If distributed, would make a path of molder- Ing lifts all around the earth. The loveliness of the Saviour’# sacrifice has inspired all the heroisms and all the martyrdoms of subse quent centuries. Christ has had more men and women die for Him than all tho other In habitants of all the ages have had die foi the moth In the dotheB closet, the black wing of a raven, the snowbank of white lilies, our oxtromo botheration about the splinter of Imperfection in some one else’s character, tho swine fed on the pearls, wolves dramatizing sheep, and tho perora tion mado up of a cyclone In which you hear tho crash of a rumbling house unwisely con structed. No technicalities, no spiffing of hairs between north an l northwest side, no dogmatics, but a great Chrlstly throb of helpfulness. I do not wonder at tho record which says, "When He was come down from the mountain, groat multitudes followed Him.” They had but ono fault to find with JHh sermon. It was too short. God help all of us in Christian work to got down off our stiffs and realize thero is only one thing wo have to do-—there is the great wound of tho world’s sin and sorrow, and there is the groat healing plaster of the gos pel. What you and I want to do Is to pul the plaster on the wound. All sufficient is the gospel If It is only applied. A minister preaching to an audience of sailors conjern- ing the ruin by sin and tho roscuo by the gos pel accommodated himself to sailors’ vernac ular and said, "This plank boars.” Many years after this preacher was called to see a dying sailor ami asked him about his hope and got tho suggostivo reply, "This plank bears.” Yeo, Christ was lovely In Hts chief life’s work. Thero were a thousand things for Him to do, but His groat work was to get our shipwrecked world out of the breakers. That lie came to do, and that He did, and He did It in three years. He took thirty years to prepare for that three years’ activ ity. From twelve to thirty years of age w< hoar nothing about Him. That Intervening eighteen years I think ho was iu India. But Hu came back to Palestine and crowded everything into three years—three winters, three springs, throe summers, three aut umns. Our life Is short, but would*God wo might see liow much wo could do in three years. Concentration! Intensification! Three years of kind words I Three years of living for others l Throo years of self-sacri fice ! Let us try It. Aye, Christ was lovely in Ills demise. Ho had a right Hint last hour to deal in nnatho- mAtlzatlon. Never had any one been so meanly treated. Cradle of straw among goats and camels—that was the world’s re ception of Illm! Rocky cliff, with ham mers pounding spikes through tortured nerves—that was the world’s farewell saluta tion I The slaughter of that scone sometimes hides tho loveliness of the sufferer. Under the saturation of tears and blood wo sorno- times fall to sea tho sweetest fneo of earth and heaven. Altogether lovely! Can cold est criticism find an unkind word lie over spoke, or an unkind action that He over per formed, or an uukind thought that Hu over harbored? Wliat a marvel It Is that all tho nations of earth do not rise up In raptures of affection for Him l I must say It hero and now. I lift my right hand In solemn attestation. I love Him, and the grief of my life Ik that I do not love Him more. Is It an impertinence for me to ask, Do you, my hoarer—you, my reader, love Him? Hay Ho become a part of your nature? Have you committed your children on earth Into Ills keeping, as your children In heaven are already In His bosom? Has Ho done enough to win your confidence? dim you trust Him, living aud dying and for ever? Is your back or your face toward Him? Would you like to havn His hand to guide you, His might to protect you, Hie grnce to comfort you, Ills sufferings to atone for you. His arms to wulodmO you, His lovo to encir cle you, His heaven to crown you? OU, that wo might nil have something ot the great German reformer's love for this Christ which led him to say, "If any ono knocks at the door of my breast and says, ‘Who lives there?’ my reply is. ‘Jesus Christ lives here, pot Martin Luther.* ” Will it not bo grand If, when wo got through this short and rugged road of life, wo can go right up Into His pres'UKjo aud Jlvu with Him world without end.

Unquestionably the Seminole is a very docent Indian—save when In* has been drinking "‘eider with a lit tle .) a lindenginger in it"—(a trader told me that this was the formula)— and their squaws are models of wo manly virtue and industry. That t he race remains, pure, notwithstanding tlio inroads of "civilization." is duo to tho severity of the punishment of those of either sex who are guilty of a broach of the law, for chastity is prescribed by their religion, and the penalty is death. In late years they are pushing deeper into the glades, as the foot steps of the white man encroach upon their domain. They live upon game fruits, and the products of t heir agri culture, though many wants must b» supplied at the trading posts 01 stores in the settlements, \vithmone> or through barter. For many year: the trade In alligator skins ami plum age of birds has been a great sourer of revenue to them, but t he alligators arc almost exterminated, and tin bird laws are now so st rictly enforced that the trader no longer dares to bu\ their plumes and wings, at least ir paying quantity’. They still bring i> game, and turtles, and a few alligatoi skins, or moccasins and other rudt manufactures, but every year ii grows harder and harder for them to get money; and as if to add insult t injury, some of tholr most fertil keys have recently been homesteaded by white men, after the Indians had tilled the soil for years.

The survey makes tho length of tho proposed line 4,800 miles from the Mexican start ing place to Buenos Ayres, and the coat of the completed road is put at $50,000 per mile, including some for midable grading and bridging, or about $200,000,000 in all, for which the funds aro to be paid proportionately by the countries interested.

Old Weather Proverbs, It is a sure sign of rain if the washes her hend behind her ear. When horses aud cattle stretch their nocks aud snufl’ the air, it will rain. A lively horse tells of a cold day. When the moles throw up the earth, rain soon follows. Buts who speak flying tell of rain to morrow. Buzzards flying high indicate fair weather. When chickens crow before sundown, it is a sign of rain next day. If chickens go out in the rain it will rain all day.

American women en joy without restraint every civil, social, ethical, and intellectual right com patible with feminine delicacy and re fined Chriatian womanhood uud to in vite them into the arena of politics would prove subversive of all domes tic quietude, loosen the ties that link them to their kingdom, the homo hearth, and proves ns disastrous to harmonious social order as did tho “Wooden Horse” to the house holds of Troy. "Woman's right to vote” would involvo tho forfeiture of woman’s privilege of commanding tho revcreuce and deferential homage of mankind. Feminine opinion is a powerful political factor when express ed gently in the sacred precincts of homo, by dropping ballots uf noble aims and exalted principles aud senti ments into the open hearts and minds of brothers, husbands and sous, but wrangling and wrestling at "election polls” would inevitably resolve tho whole question of woman’s political influence into one or mere numerical valuation.

If tljo following letters had been written tyy your best known and most, esteemed neighbors thoy could be no more worthy of your confidence than they now are, coming, as they do, from woll known, intelligent, and trustworthy citizen*, who, in tholr several neighborhoods, euioy the fullest confidence ana respeot of all who know them. Tho subject of the above portrait is a well known and much respected lady, Mrs. John G. Foster, residing at No. 93 C’hapin Street, Canandaigua, N. Y. Rhe writes to Dr R. V. Fierce, Chief Consulting Physician to tho Invalids 1 Hotel and Surgical Institute at Buffalo, N. Y, as follows: “I was troubled witfj eczema, or salt rlu-uin, seven years. 1 doctored with a number of our homo physicians nnd received no benefit whatever. I also took treatment ' from physicians in Rochester, Now York, i PUi]adelphfa, Jersey City, Binghamton, ana j received no benefit from them. In fact I I have paid out hundrods of dollars to the i doctor? without benefit. My brother came to viajt us from tho West ami he told me to ' 'orce e Golden Medical Discovery, iken It- and it had cured him. ’ I taken ten bottles of the ‘Discovery,’ and am entirely cured, nnd if there should bo any ono wishing any information I would gladly correspond with them, if they enclose return stamped envelope.” Not less remarkable is the following from Mr. J. A. Buxton, a prominent merchant of Jackson. N. C., who says: "I had been troubled with skin disease all my life Ah I grew older the disease seemed to be taking a stronger hold upon mo. I tried many advertised remedies with no benefit, until 1 was led to try Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery When I began taking it my health was very poor : in fact, several persons h&v© since told me that they thought t had the consumption. T weighed only about 1 “5 pounds The eruption on my skin was accompanied by severe itching ft was first confixed to my face, but afterwards spread over the neck and head, and the itching be came simply unbearable This was my con dition wh»n I began takiug the ‘Discovery ’ When I would rub tho parts affected a kind of branny **aU» would fall off. For a while I sew no change or benefit from taking the ‘Discovery,’ but I persisted in its use, keening my bowels opon by taking Dr. Pierce’s Pleasant Pellets, nnd taking ns much outdoor exercise as was possible, until I began to gain tn flesh, and gradually the disease released its hold. I took during the year somewhere from fifteen to eighteen bot tles of the ‘ Discovery.’ It. has now been four years since I first used it, and though not using scarcely any since tho first year, my health continues' good. My average weight being 155 to 160 pounds, instead of 125, as it was when I began tho uso of tho ‘Discovery.’ Many parsons have reminded me of my improved appearance. Some say i look younger than I did six years ago when I whs married. I am now forty eight years old, and stronger, and enjoy letter health than I have over done before in my life.” Yours truly. i/C'-- Thousands bear t terms, to tho otllcai 1 * ¥ # i * fcimony, in equally strong j of this wonderful rem edy in curing the niost obstinate diseases.
