What a beautiful bridge between old age and childhood is religion. How intutively the child begins with prayer and worship on entering life, and how intutively, on quitting life, the old man turns back to pray er and worship, putting himself again side by side with the infant," remarks Sir E. Bulwer Lytton, in his "Strange Story." "Yes, but between its distant abutments the bridge of life has many high and awful arches, through which the wild waters dash and roar in wrath and desolation. Prayer and worship alone do not sustain these. Nature's solid rocks must lie unshaken beneath, and hu man art and skill must rear and solidify the structure overhead. God's will is best exemplified in the laws He has made for the creatures whom He has placed under their control. Neither the child's trust ful "Our Father," nor the old man's "Forget me not in the midst of mine infirmities," will alter this by the weight of a single grain. Science and art first-then faith and prayer-is the order of Heaven itself. Divinity heals through its agents, and those agents are the discoveries of man; not the vague announcements of prophets or seers. Is life a burden to you ? Does time drag ? Is your power to cope with life's problem and duties weakenedt You are not well. Your blood is sluggish and tainted, perhaps; or some important organ is torpid or overworked. This fact may have taken the form of dyspepsia, rhen matism, gout, malaria, pains in the stoamch, chronic headache, or any of a dozen other ills. Parker's Tonic will invigorate you, as fresh air invigorates those who have been shut up in damp, fetid cells. It is powerful, pure, delicious, scientifi'c safe-the keystone of the central arch of the bridge of life. --THE Tines-Democrat thus clo ses an article on the Republican, nominations: As for the force of State ticket placed in the field yes terday by the Republicans, it was freely admitted by Kellogg and others that there was no chance whatever for success, and the best thing that could be done would be to capture some more seats in the Legislature, and another Congres sional District or two. In view of the fact that the Republicans have placed a ticket in the field and have decided on a canvass, all Democrats and all good citizens, should cast their votes at the com ing State election, in order to prove to the Union that Louisiana is sol idly Democratic, and will so de clare at the Presidential election.
