For Tim Wkkki.v..
Learn to Forgive.
Learn to forgive. Try to imbosom
a placable heart. Harbor no inimical
feelings or resentment toward any one.
Do not burden yourself during your
few days here below with an unforgiv
ing spirit, for it will do you more hurt
than anything else. Carry not ani
mosity against any one, but forgive and
you will receive great exaltation. If
you forgive not, how can you expect
to be forgiven ? Not Id forgive will
blight the felicity of many around you,
yet its principal feeding ground w'll
find lodgment in your own heart.
Let us mate the supposition that
you hate your neighbor: 'Yonder is his
dwelling only tv>o hundred paces dis
tant. Just imagine that you are pass
ing by a wood lire, anil aKLvou go by

which is flaming amly, fjning, con

will find your clothing in Hatties, and
your own flesh burned, yea, eveu be
fore you molest or barm your neigh
bor. Just so with a person who carries
an inexorable breath in his bosom.
Let your heart be not indomitable for
your conscience’s relief. If you carry
an unforgiving spirit, it will sting your
own soul like an adder ere you are
aware.
There are people who honor them
selves as Cluistians, who are miserable
because of their animosity and revenge
fulness. To be submissive is a thous
and times sweeter than to be obdurate.
If you have hard feelings toward any
one—to please God, you must not have
an implacable heart. Forgive your
enemies, humble and supplicate your
selves on your knees, and pray to God
in their beba! f . The orison of the
righteous availeth much. If you only
exercise faith sufficiently, salvation
will surely come into your soul like a
deluge. Father forgive them. If ad
monition will not suffice, berate them
in thy gentleness. Sweet prayei and
bleßsed example. J. T. W.

Scrofula is Hud.
For ail forms and variations of sreof
ula, which stands next to contagious
blood poison in the problems that it
presents, S. S. S. is a specific. As a
remedy for this disease, it stands pre
eminent and incomparable. Where
the ordinary treatment fails —and it
does fail in nine cases out of ten—S. S.
S. will effect a cure. Somo of the tes
timonials that the proprietors have on
file, and others which they include in
their phamphlets, describe cures that
are almost miraculous. No higher trib
utes could he paid to the singular effi
cacy of this inediciue than those which
are embodied in these unsolicited let
ters. The suffering that has been saved
by S. fs. S. in these cases alone would
place it at the head of all blood medi
cines.

Cowardly White Caps.
Hiudskyk, lnd., September 2G.—
This country is once more disgraced
by mob work, which is doubly dis
graceful, in tlmi it is perpetrated upon
a defenseless woman. Mrs. Harmon,
a woman of rather loose character, liv
ed at Mentor, one mile west of here.
Last night she was visited by a body
of thirty men who tied her to a post
near her house and applied fifty lashes
to her bare body.
After performing their,work they
called upon another woman named
Mrs. Freeman, of like character, and
warned her to leave the place within
twenty four hours, or they would treat
her to the same dose. She immedi
ately departed. Then the white caps
called Jacob SapenfielJ and ordered
him to visit Mrs. Harmon, untie her
and pub'ish to the neighbors, on pen
alty of twenty live lashes, what they
had done, and that they had whipped
the Harmon woman because of her
bad name.
A IIOIIRIKI.I. SPECTACI.K.
When Sapenfield reached the hap
less woman lie found her tied to the
post naLed, with the exception of one
undergarment, which was turned over
her head. Her body was torn from
head to foot as if by a kuife, one terri
ble wound, bleeding from every pore,
while across her abdomen was a deep
gash, twelve inches long and sodoep as
to leave the bowels exposed, and scat
tered around were great hickory switch
es with which the woman had been
Hayed.
No one knows who composed the
gang, nor whence they came, though
nearly every citizen in town saw them
by the light of the moon. The com
munity is enraged that stich an awful
thing should have happeucd in their
midst. Mrs. Harmon and her daugh
ter were whipped in Birdseye two years
ago, just before they moved to Mentor.
A Remarkable Dream.
The Washington JLikj'onide,tells of a
remarkable dream, which was recalled
by the recent disastrous lire at that
place. The Chronicle says that Mrs.
Lewis Brown, an old lady, was living
with her husband about forty miles
from Washington. While there, one
night, August 25, 1837, Mrs. Brown
woke her husband up in much excite
ment and said she hud a very vivid
dream that Washington was burned.
It made a great impression on her, and
she described in detail where the fire
began and where it ended. On going
to sleep the dream was repeated.
What she said finally made a great
impression on Captain Brown. Next
day he sat out in front of the house
and made inquiries of passers. In
those days there was uot a railroad in
Georgia and news came slowly a dis
tance of forty miles. Toward evening
a somewhat tired traveler rode up, and
to the inquiry, “What news do you
bring?” said C’apt. Brown.
“Nothing hut that Washington was
burned up last night.”
Captain Brown took his horse next
day and went to AVashington. He
found that his wife’s account of where
the fire begun and where it ended was
litterall/ correct.

Powder
ABSOLUTELY PURE
A Physician's Tull Yarn.
On one occasion, when several phy
sicians had met, the conversation ran
to the extraordinary tilings winch aim
man being might swallow and still
live, says the Youth’s Companion.
The familiar stories about swallo wing
silver dollars, sets of false teeth, and so
on had been related, when Dr. Long
bow began to speak.
“Two years ago,” he said, “I was
called in great haste to attend a ear
politer in my town, though the message
said that beyond doubt the man was
already dead, for he had, while holding
a large gimlet in his mouth at his work,
suddenly been taken with a fit of hic
coughs iiul swallowed the gimlet.
“But when I arrived at the man's
house I found him ‘very comfortable.’
The gimlet, gentlemen, gave him no
trouble at all to digest.”
There was silence for a moment.
Presently one of the other doctors re
marked :
“With you for his physician, Long
bow. the man was lucky that it was
only a gimlet that I e undertook to
swallow.”
“What do you mean ?”
“Why, if lie bad tried to swallow one
of your stories it would have choked
him ,0 death.”
The Kvhlence was Conclusive.
A statesman who had been indicted
by an unfeeling grand ynrjr was arrest
ed % a slierll and klujown into jail.. .\
this was abhorrent to bis fine spiritual
nature he sent for (lie district attorney
and asked that the case he dismissed.
“Upon what ground ?” asked the dis
trict attorney.
“Lack of evidence to convict,” re
plied the accused.
“Do you happen to have the lack
with you?” the official asked. “I
should like to see it.”
"With pleasure,” said the othor. j
“Here it ts.”
So saying he handed the other a
check, which the district attorney care
fully examined, and then pronounced
it the most complete absence of both
proof and presumption that be had ever
seen, lie said that it would acquit the
oldest man in the.world.—San Francis
co Examiner.
What the Trouble Was.
“What is the matter?” asked the
Boston girl, addressing a little hoy.
“They’re raising the devil in a sa
loon down the street,” replied the ur
chin as he dashed away in the direction
of the disturbance.
“What is the matter, Priscilla ?” j
asked the mother of the Boston girl.
The maiden hesitated a moment; her
conscientiousness, her regard for the
truth overcame the impulse to give her
parents an evasive answer, and she re
plied :
“They are elevating Satan in an ts
tabiishment devoted to the sale of al
coholic beverages somewhere in the vi
cinity, but of the exact location of it I
am yet unapprised.”—New York Press.
lie Needed Kicking.
It was on the train and he was trying
to read. There was the usual variety
of passengers, among them a lady with
a very sprightly little girl that had blue
eyes, a head of glistening gold and an
inquisitorial tongue. She plied him
with questions and toyed with his watch
chain. The mother, who was a widow,
fairly beamed upon him. He was Ire
coming nervous, and turning to the
mother said :
“Madame, what do you call this sweet
little darling ?”
The widow smiled etichautingly and
replied with a sigh, “Ethel.”
“Please call her, then.”
