That ia what our readers want, and nothing but that. It is the same old friend to which the old folks pinned their faith and were never dis appointed. But another good recom mendation for it is, that it is better than ijills, never gripes, never weak ens, but works in such an easy and natural way, just like nature itself, that relief comes quick and sure, and one ieeis new all over. It never fails. Everybody needs take a liver remedy, and everyone should take only Sim mons Liver Regulator. Be sure you set it. The Red Z is on the wrapper. J. II. Zeilin &, to., l'hiladelphia. SUSPENSE. Ifai-per's Bazaar. Waiting, watching, the long hours through, The slow-paced hours of dark and dew, While just at the threshold, chill and white, Hovers the angel, irom dark to light. Who leads the way when, the day's work done, Homeward the Master calls each one. Xothing for tenderest love to do, Watching, waiting, the long hours through. Gentlest ministries over now, Death-damp cold on the sleeping brow, Tenderest words have all been spoken. Last of the earthly loaf has been broken ; If there was) anger, nevermore Shall its shadow leave the sad heart's door ; If there were wrongs, 'tis all too late To right them now at this outer gate. Where stern and steady the angel stands Who guides God 's own to the best of lands. Watching, waiting, through dusk and dew, The. tremulous silence a bird breaks through. Soft iii the shore the tide creeps in ! She siulis. she is livintr, to toil and spin, To lift'the burden, to feel the rod. To longer pray for the vision of God.. The night is over, the great sun wakes. Thank God that His heaven no loved one takes To-day from our arms, that could not spare This precious thing from our anxious care. Check Heins and Elinders. Journal. These are two twin relics of barbarism that still hold their own against all feelim: of humanity, in many parts of our country. The blinder was invented probably to keep the horse from seeing anything that might be coming up behind him. Whoever invented it did not understand the functions of the eye of a horse at all. The eye of a horse is made so that he can see through a very wide range, from the front to rear, and the blinder hides from him three-quarters of what he t(v without them. It is entered is an excuse that it keeps him from shying at the whip or anything that comes up suddenly behind. Tins plea is not good, for a horse with blinders once held learns that whip is behind him does not forget it and is in constant dread of being struck. He is more easily startled by a noise, the source of which he can not see, than he would be it the blinders were off. The check rein is worse than the blinder, and not a dav passes but that we .-ee ladies rid ing at ease m comfortable carriages while their horses are suffering torture because their heads are pulled up in an unnatural position and held there in a most cruel manner. These spirited norses are not tossing their heads as they go down the street, because they are pioud and high lived. It is be--iiin thev are in pain as cruel as ever possessed the victim of the rack, and it i downright savagery to drive a team reined up m that manner. We have een ladies cry out when a horse was . - . . T 1 struck with a whip as if it nad oeen themselves wno received the blow, and at the same trine the team m their car riage was in agony constantly because ot The check reins. A cruel blow with a whip is a small affair beside the tor ture of a team with their heads checked up according to the ignorant ideals ot the correct position. The life of a good woman full of the Christian graces, is worth more in a home than ail the learning and all the wealth and all the position of the world Children raised in the fear of God and with love for man make home the citadel of the country. Mothers, guard it well. SCOTLAND NECK, CLOSE STUDY. ITS 0EJE3T AKL P.SVTAP.D. Every One Has Time to Study. What .-hould be the object of study? The answer to this question of some would be to figure in sor-iety ; ot oth eis. t ) excel. Was this question asked generally, it would be answered, no doubt, in various ways, but the true o')ject of study should be to improve a id enrich the mind, to elevate society as well as to enable the student to figure in good society. Everyone has time to study. There are intervals daily and in addition to these, the one day in seven in which the most closely occupied can improve t ieir mind. 11 man applied himself as diligently and earnestly to study as to other less important duties, he would be exceed ingly happier and accomplish vastly more for himself and others. He should be conscious always of the fact that he is somewhat responsible for the conduct oi his associates and strive to cultivate his mind and study with this important object m view, viz : to im prove when possible the society in which he is thrown. It requires tact and intellect to adapt himself to cir cumstances and to enable those of less intelligence to feel free in his society. When God created man He made him an intelligent and an immortal lieing, hence it is the necessary duty and the interest of every person to improve his understanding and to store up knowledge. And the student should b3 careful when acquiring knowledge that it is useful knowledge. Knowl- e Ige that does not have a tendency to refine, elevate or inform the judgment is far more injurious than beneficial. It may improve the memory some, but it is almost absolutely unnecessary and, ior this reason, the judicious student never indulges in acquiring such knowledge. Every one should acquire the skill of j good reasoning as far as his position in life, capacity and understanding lurnisn him with proper means. Every Hying heing has a vocation in life, and man has a comparatively high one. What i world ours would be if every one did rhe best that his circumstances allows ! More would Improve their opportuni ties anc? study with their entire capac ity ir they thoroughly realized that 'Who does the best his circumstances allow, does well, acts nobly, angels could do no more." When studying, then, the student should use all his asonmg factulties. in tins world of ours there is much to learn ; the amount s so great that Ave can not afford to hop any of our reasoning faculties or waste our time. The person who stud 's for the sake of acquiring useful knowledge and realizes that, with all his efforts, he knows comparatively nothing, debars himself from base con ceit wiiich is so disgusting in some who have acquired some knowledge, but not altogether the useful kind. Those who are somewhat well informed, but are almost void of practical common sense and are inflated over their knowledge, are to be pitied rather than admired. Nevertheless, those who are unfortu nately possessed of this weakness cau, by earnest effort, emancipate them selves of it, which would fully reward them for the most earnest effort. Con ceit, to the refined, intelligent, mind makes merit contemptible. Xo one can guard his thoughts too well. Ev ery one should strive as nearly as pos sible to crush every sinful thought and whatever vocation he may be striving to attain in life, let him make his call ing and election sure, that his work may stand approved in the sight of God. If he lack wisdom, "Let him ask of God who giveth to all men liberally and upbraideth not." There is no bet ter advice concerning our thoughts than that which Young has given us. He says : Guard Avell thy thoughts. Our thoughts are heard in heaven. The greatest reward of him who studies with the true object is, that he has a greater capacity for the joys, beauty, grandeur, and the unspeakable riches which await him in an immortal world '." We have the assurance that ''When He shall appear, we shall be lise Him, for we shall see Him as lie is." Al though our knowledge is limited here, in that day ''We shall know as we are known." Bex Inverary. A Lofty Purpose. Selected. Set yourself earnestly to see what you were made to do, then set yourself earnestly to do it, and the loftier your purpose is, the more sure you will be to maKe the world richer with every enrichment of vourself.

How much svmnathv do we lestow noon thp l!tt!f , 1 - ones9 Their need for it greater than we think, for the old ar-e just as apt to forget they were or.ee young a the young are apt to forget that they will one day be old. To us their sorrows over "dead" dolliee and broken carts seem very trivial, yet they agitate them just as much as a fall in ptocks and a sick baby disturb us children of a lar ger growth. Their leeb!e power and lack of experience place them in a try ing position. Every accident Hpears an irremdeiable dieter ; each little failure an abiding ruin. A distinguished clergyman was asked what was the most po'gnant grief of his checkered life. "An unhappy childhood," was the unhesitating re sponse. Dickens was seared by the tires of his younger aillictions. Byron was wrecked by his mother's lack of sympathy. Oh, let us be caret al how wo treat these tender blossoms of heaven, so shrinkingly sensitive, so quick to accept the loving glance, the kindly word, and so are parched, many of them, for want of the dews ot affectionate sympathy and tender interest ! Many a man and woman afflicted with a melancholy temperament which distorts and discolors all his or her view ot life, owes that terrible Nemesis to an uncared for childhood. Every touch uKn puch phytic character leaves its impress ; every stain defiles. Don't keep your hearts wealth and best bon mots for the drawing room. Take them up to the nursery. Beats the KeeleyCure. Drover's Journal. A young wife had just settled in her new home. All seemed fair and prom ising, but one night her husband came home very late and staggered into the house. His wife was greatly shocked and told him he was ill and to lie down at once. He did so and in a moment or two was comfortably asleep on the sofa. His face was a reddish purple, his breathing heayy and altogether he was a pitiable looking object. The doctor was sent for in haste and mus tard plasters applied to his hands and feet. When the doctor came, ielt his pulse, examined him and found that he was drunk, he said he would be all right in the morning. But the wife insisted that he was very ill and severe remedies must be used. "You must shave his head and apply blisters," she urged, "or I shall send tor some one who will." His head was accordingly shaved closely and blisters applied. All night he lay in a drunken sleeo, notwith standing the blisters were eating into the flesh. It was not till near morning that he began to beat about, disturbed by pain. About daylight he awoke to a most uncomfortable consciousness of blister ed agonies. "What does this mean 1" he said, putting his hand to his bandaged head "Lie still you musn't stir," said the wife ; "You have been very ill." . "I'm not ill" "Oh, yes you are ; you have brain fever. We have worked hard with you all night." "I should think you had," groaned the poor victim. ' What's the matter with my fcex?" "They are blistered." "But I'm better now; take off the blisters, do," he pleaded piteously. l.Te was in a most uncomfortable st;ue his head covered with sores and his hands and feet still worse. "My dear," he said groaning, "if I should ever get sicic in this way again do not be alarmed or send for the doc tor and, above all, do not blister me again." "Oh, indeed I will 1 all that saved you was the blisters, and if you should have another spell, I should be more frightened than ever, tor the tendency, I am sure, is to apoplexy and from the next attack you would be likelv to die unless there were the severest measures used." He made no further defense ; and from that day to this he has not had another attack of drunk.

SEPTEMBER 19. 1895. ALL DIITKUKNT. j - i l'h ili il 'jJi i't I.' 1 r. !: of the ino-t -trikm j all nature i- the difference th;U eit b-tuf ot) the various ! ndr idu.d- ! il same clas-. It is, - t i. i that if ."ir er of u-ion were i;th--ieiith aru'e. wt- I ."hould i-erceivo that im tun !':.,!,.,,' grass, no two grains of sand, no tw.. drops of wafer were precisely -uiiilar. Wo know this p, ,t. true of orj thing w hich comes within the scpe ot ur observation; 1m, (h in the organic and inorganic world, and it isoniv reason able to !diee that the same law roiim- tluough the entire universe. The-e differences Iecoine more obious to us as we become more famiii-ir with the type. We easily recognize the variation- in the trees of the forest, in the birds of air, in the leasts of the fields, in the features and forms of the men and women who surround us, and the of tener we observe them, and t lie more closely we scrutinize them, the greater is the diversity that we discover l-e-tween them. When we know a jxmsoii well it is impossible that we can mis take him for any one else ; his peculiar expressions of lace and form and man ner are stamped upon our memory and excite our instant recognition. Xo two minds run in the same chan nels, or think exactly each other's thoughts. Truth is many-sided, and multitudes of men and women stand still, viewing continually but one of her phases. Did they but move around her, changing their respective attitudes, they would appreciate one another far better. Excellent people sometime. regret that there are so many differen ces of opinion upon a single subject. If all were agreed, they say, how smoothly and harmoniously might all work together for the general good ! They forget that, were it possible, (here would le no consensus of truth, no gathering together ot its many features, no camparison of its many aspects. It is just this mingling oi sincere convic tions that enables men to correct their fallacies, to retrieve their blunders, to arriye at something like wise judgment and correct conclusions. Yet we chafe and fret at these very differences, and attribute to them many of the evils wiiich really belong to our unwilling ness to recognize and accept them. Too often irritation, ill feeling and even anger arise from this innocent cause. Interchange of opinion, wheth er in ordinary conversation or in dis cussions and debate, is among the most instructive and valuable means ot forming true opinions, yet often it is poisoned by a dogmatism that will brook no contraction and a temper w hich regards all dissent as a personal affront. Irish Mud Cabins Cornhill Magazine. The mud cabin in Ireland consists of two rooms and possibly a small semide tached on those which isu-ed as a store room for ierisbable articles. There is not a chink in the walls or thatch save a narrow chimney, wiiich .seldom if ever answers its purpose. The doorway faces the east and emits the smoke. What little light penetrates inside through the tiny window discloses the deep chocolate stain from the eternal turf reek which pervades the atmo-phere of the interior, and literally paints wall-, roof and furniture a uniform color. The furniture is rough and also scanty, a few stools atouing for the occasional complete absence of chairs. The mud floor is always more or less wet from the patter of the children's bare feet or from the animals which have free access to the house. At night there is a goodly company within the walls of this spa ions mansion. In the inside room there are two or three box beds or berths where'he children sleep, according to their age and sex. From to 12 is not an uncommon r.nmler in a family. In the state Urth in the calliogh, or recess at the side of the hearth, the father and mother repose unscreened from the live stock of the farm and breathe the same atmosphere as some eight quadrujieds Ie-;des the poultry. Pigs, cattle, dogs, cats, and probably a hor.-e or donkey, huve their bed space respectively, and jealously resent any encroachment by a bedfel low. Astonishing as it may appear, there are hardly any disagreeable odorr. The overpowering smell ot the peat smoke evidently acts a complete disinfectant, and fortunately it is innoxious to the inhabitants of the hovel. Equally as tonishing is the fact that the whole community is in comparative harmony, and even the babies rarely cry. There is plenty of occupation for all the fam ily who are able and willing to work, the mother doing little else but nurse the youngest infant. t NO. 41 V ENLIGHTENMENT I nnu.t all .
