The Handwriting on the wall-
Daniel 5: 17-31
Golden Text—“Bat Gad is the
Jadge: He patteth down oae, and
setteth op another,” Psalm 75: 7.
“The Gj.1 ia \vh)ie KSnl thy
breath is, an.i whose are HI! thy
ways, hast thou not glorified.”
These words may bj as true of you
a3 they were of Bilshazzir. Hive
you glorified God? Have you
yielded back to God that which is
.rightfully His? or are you acting
as though you belonged to your-
self iostead of to God? “The wick
ed, through the pride of his coun
tenance, will not seek after God:
God i3 not at all in his thoughts.”-
“The fool hath said in his heart,
there is no God.” Belshazzar was
just such a Fool, aad to prove it,
he dared to appropriate that which
belonged to God, for his own sel
fish and unholy purposes. Beloved,
“Know ye not that your body
the temple of the Holy Ghost?”
and that the members of your body
are the vessels set apart for the-
service of God in His temple? what
have you done with the temple?
what have you done with the ves
sels of that temple? hive yon used
them for God’s glory, or have you
appropriated them to your own
selfish and nnholy purposes as did
Belshazzar of old. Better cut off
yonr right hand or pluck out your
right eye than that you willingly
permit them to accomplish that
which is contrary to God’s pur
poses concerning them. Have you
permitted thfe Holy Spirit to oc
copy His rightful temple, or are
yon permitting Satan to hold his
carnal revelries within your heart?
Are the members of your body
prostituted to your own selfish
pleasures or are they set apart for
God to use for His own glory. “Ye
are not your own. For ye are
bought with a price.” Struggle
against it as you will, you are God’s
And your breath is in His bands,
jast as Belshazzar’s was. If you
will not yield to God for His Glory,
then you must yield to Him for
His judgments to be passed upon
you. May none who shall read
these lines look up as Belshazzar
did, to find the verdict already
written. May this lesson come to
you at this time to turn you from
your own selfish life, and by the
power of the Holy Ghost, to the
only Living and True God, whom
Belshazzar defied to his own de
struction. There is power enough
in John 8:16 if you will but believe
it, tosave you from Belshazzar’s
doom. Will you accept its mes
sage? If you will not, your doom
is as surely written in John 3: 18,
as was Belshazzar’s upon the wall
of his palace centuries ago.
“ ’Tis the hand of God that is
writing on the wall.
‘’Tis the band of God on the
wall.
Shall the record be, ‘found want
ing,’ Or shall it be ‘found trust
ing,
While that hand is writing on
the wall
“Which shall it be?” for God so
loved the world, that He gave His
only begotten Sod, that whosoever
believeth in Him should not perish
bat have everlasting life.” Or “he
that believeth not is condemned
already, because be hath not be
lieved iu the Name of the only bp-
gotten Son of God.”
A diseased stomach surely un
dermines health. It dulls the brain,
kills energy, destroys the nervous
system, and predisposes to insanity
and fatal diseases. All dyspeptic
troubles are quickly cured by Ko-
dol Dyspepsia Cure. It has cured
thousands of cases and is caring
them every day. Its ingredients
are such that it can’t help caring.

New York City is to have an
other sky scraper. It is to be thirty-
two stories in height. It is to have
a frontage on Broadway of 203 feet
and will cost, including the ground,
about $5,000,000. It is understood
that the ground will cost $2,000,000
aud the building $3,000,000.

The Last of a Race.
St. Louis Globe Democrat.
The death of Thomas J. Sem-
mes, of Louisiana, which has jast
taken place, removes, we think, the
last of the men who served in the
Senate branch of the Confederate
Congress, except Geo. G. Vest, of
Missouri. The Confederate Cabi
net, though necessarily a much
smaller body than its senate, has
still one survivor, John H. Reagan,
of Texas, who was Postmaster Gen
eral. All of the rest of the men
who ever sat around the council
table of Jefferson Davis when at
tbe head of tbe ; Confederacy —
Toombs, R. M. T. ’Hunter, Benja
min, Trenholm, Walker, Mallery,
Breckinridge and the others—are
dead, Benjamiu’s demise having
taken place about two years ago in
England, to which country he went
shortly after the collapse of the
Confederate Government.
Fortune has dealt more kindly
with the men who were iQ high
station under the Union during
the war of secession. A few sen
ators of that period are still alive,
and one of them is now.in service.
This is Stewart, of Nevada, who
took his seat in the Senate in Feb
ruary, 1865, a little over two months
before Appomattox. Of the other
men who were in the senate du
ring part or all of the secession
war period, ShermaD, Ohio; Har
lan, Iowa; Henderson, or Missouri;
Ramsey, of Minnesota, and
Sprague, of Rhode Island, are
alive but in private life. Judge
Reagau, however, has a distinction
which*is unique, for all of the
members of President Lincoln’s
council died years ago.
The rate of mortality among the
senators of the Confederacy has
been very much greater than it has
been among the senators of the
Union, even when allowance is
made for the fact that there were
fewer states in the Confederacy.
Only eleven states passed ordinan
ces of secession. At one time,
however, Missouri and Kentucky
were represented in each branch of
the Confederate congress, though
both of these states clung to the
Unicrn. There were regiments from
each in the Confederacy, and these
organizations sometimes went
through the form of sending mem
bers to the Confederate congress.
Technically, there were once twen
ty-six members of the Confederate
senate, all of whom, we believe,
save Mr. Vest, are dead. Jndge
Reagan is the last oE the men who
held high rank under the adminis
tration of the Confederacy, and as
he is in robust health, though 71
years of age, he is likely to bold
this distinction for years to come.
AUGUST FLOWER.
“It is a surprising fact,” says
Prof. Houton, “that in my travels
in all parts of the world, for the
last ten years, I have met more
people having used Green’s Aug
ust Flower than any other remedy,
for dyspepsia, deranged liver and
stomach, and for constipation. I
find for tourists and salesmen, or
for persons filling office positions,
where headaches and general bad
feelings from irregular habits ex
ist, that Green’s August Flower is
a grand remedy. It does not injure
the system by frequent use, and is
excellent for sour stomach and in
digestion.” Sample bottle at Holtz
claw’s Drugstore.'
Sold by dealers in all civilized
countries.
A peculiar question of. ethics
has arisen between a dry goods
store proprietor of Racine, Wis.,
and one of his clerks named Ylas-
dislar Altman. Altman took in a
dollar of 1804 in payment for some
goods, and got SI,000 for the rare
coin from a Chicago dealer. Now
the proprietor claims that the coin
should have gone into his till.
“We have sold many different
congh remedies, bnt Done has giv
en better satisfaction than Cham
berlaiD’s,” says Mr. Charles Holz
haner, Druggist, Newark, N. J. “It
is perfectly safe and can be relied
apon in all cases of croups,colds or
hoarseness.” Sold by all dealers.
Prediction is made that if the
trnsts continue as they have bega d,
ose-half of tbe 300,000 traveling
men will be out of jobs. And it
may be said that there will be jnst
that nnmber of able enemies ready
to fight trade combinations.
The Texas Disaster.
Atlanta Constitution.
The terrible disaster reported
from the Brazos valley, in Texas,
should be a warning to those enga
ged in the deforesting of the coun
try.
It has been a serious governmen
tal mistake to have permitted the
wholesale destruction of forests
which has taken place throughout
the country. Aside from the calls
of cultivation and of commerce,
there has beeu a wholesale and
wanton destruction oE forest treee,.
private individuals being permit
ted to cut down ruthlessly the
growth of centuries. While the
settlement of the country called
for the opening up of the forest in
many places, yet there should have
been some regard for the river
banks and other places where for
estry plays an important part in
irrigation and climatology. Tbe
public has its rights as well as
private individuals, and a regard
for the rights of the public should
have called for a control on scien
tific lines of the forestry of the
country.
Owing to the policy which has
been pursued, we are treated every
year to some new development of
field and flood. Disasters which
had hitherto been unknown become
common, and even the climate of
the country is said in places to be
changing. This is bat repeating
the history of older countries,
where the mistake of deforestation
was permitted to go on anchecked.
The country of which the Mediter
ranean is the center was once the
garden spot of the world, but ow
ing to the destruction of the for
ests without corresponding atten
tion having been paid to replenish
ing the tree growth, it is now large
ly sterile, and rapidly approaching
the desert condition. In order to
avoid the calamity which befell
that section of the world, we should
devise somemeans for preserving
properly scattered forest areas in
oar own country. As it is, we will
continue to be treated to fresh dis
asters in unexpected places.
There is more Catarrh in this
section of the country than all
other diseases put together, and
until the last few years was sup
posed incurable. For a great many
years doctors pronounced it a local
disease, and prescribed local rem
edies, and by constantly failing to
cure with local treatment, pronoun
ced it incurable. Science has pro
ven catarrh to be a constitutional
disease, and therefore requires con
stitutional treatment. Hall’s Ca
tarrh Cure, manufactured byF. J.
Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the
only constitutional cure on the
market. It is taken internally in
doses from 10 drops to a teaspoon-
ful. It acts directly on the blood
aud mucous surfaces of the system.
They offer one hundred dollars for
any case it fails to cure. Send for
circulars and testimonials. Address

Great wealth has its annoyances
as well as less fortunate conditions,
and when wealth and goodness of
heart are combined these annoy
ances become burdensome. To one
week recently Miss Helen Gonld
got six hundred letters asking for
donations. The aggregate amount
of the sums asked for was about
$1,000,000.
