troops w- ,:tV, ad how ntnr rounds of
shot, and w"-'ther we will come with arti!
iery, infaotry of "avairy, and of cours
we are al*eateA. There are thousawls
men who might be surorised into thA ki'

Uit' in Chritiai work. Ii is in siirituai
affair. a; in military, that sneess depen Ia
in attacking th:it part of the castle which ls
not arme.l wid intrenehed.
For instance, here is a man all arme I on
the doctrine cof election. All his troops oj
argument anl prejuliee are at that paticu
lr :gate. You may batter away at that s ide
of the castle for flafy years, ad ou wll aot
take it. but just wheel your troops to theside
gate of the heart's affections. and in five
minut's you capture him. I never krnewx
a mna'i to be save I through a brilliant ar
umret. You caun't hook mn into the
kingdom of Gal byx the horns of a dilemma.
Tere is no grace in syllo:gisms. Here is a
man arm-:l on the cuibjeet of perseverance
of the :auis. He dons not believe in it,.
Attack hl.n at that point, an] he will pere
vere to the very last in notb
ieving it. He-re is a man arined
n the subjet of' bapitisra. He believes
in sprinkling or immersion. All your deis
ussion of ecclesiastical hy'Irapathy will no'
:hange him. I remember when I was a boy
that with other boy's I went into the river on
summer day to bathe, ani we use Ito dash

all thissplashing of water between Bart

0 thou father cf all iniquity! If thou
canst hear my voice above the crn,kling Of
the flames; drive on thy projects; dispatchi
thy emissaries.. build thv te:npl-s andl forge
thy chains, but know that thy fall froni
hea.ven was not areater than thy final over
throw shall be whern thou shalt be driven
disarmed into thy fiery den, and for every
lie thou hast framed upon earth thou shalt
have an additional hell of fury poured into
thine anguish by the vengeance of
our God, and all heaven shall shout at the
overthrow, as fron the ransomedt earth the
song breaks through the skies: "Halleluia,
for theLord God o:nnipot"nt reigneth! Hie.l
lelujah, for the kin;:doms of this world hav~e
become the kingdoms of our Lord Jes'.s
Christ!" God's way in the composition of
the Bible, God's way in the Christian's life,
God's way in the redemption of the world,
God's way it. everything--different from
man's way, but the best.
I learn from this subject that the overthrow
of God's enem:.es will be sudden and terrifle.
There is the ar-my of the Midianites down in
the valley of JezreeL. f suppose their
mighty men are dreaming of victory. Mount
Gilboa never stool sentinel for so large a
host. The spears and the shields of tihe
Midianites gl-eam in the moonlight and
glance on the eye of the Israelites, who
hover like a battle of eagles, r ady to swoop
from the cliff. Sleep on. O) army or the
Midianites! With the night to hide them
and the mountain to guard them and strong
arms to defend them, let no slumbering foe
man dream of disaster. Peace to the cap
tains and the spearmen.
Crash go the pitchers! Up flare the lamcs!
To the mountains! Fly, fly! Troop running
a:ganst troop, thousands trampling upon
thousands. Hark to the scream and groan
of the routedl foe, with the Lord G:)d Al
mighty after them!' How sudden the ons;t!I
How wild the consternation! How utter the
defeat! I do) not care so much what i
against me if God is not. iou want a l:.- tir
sword or carbine than I have ever seen I o
out and fight against the Lord Omnip.er.
Give me God for my ally, and you may have
all the battleraents an't battalion's.

The Greatest Medical Discovery
of the Age.
KENNEDY'S
Medical Discovery.
DONALD KENNEDY, OF ROXBURY, MASS.,
Has discovered in one of our common
pasture weeds a remedy that cures every
kind of Humor, from the worst Scrofula
down to a common pimple.
He has tried it in over eleven bundred
eases, and never failed except in two cases
(both thunder humor). He has now in
his possession over two hundred certifi
cates of its value, all within twenty miles
of Boston. Send postal card for book.
A benefit is always experienced from the
fIrst bottle,and a perfect cure is warranted
when the right quantity is taken.
When the lungs are affected it can-(!s
shooting pains, like needles passin:t
through them: the same with the .iver
or Bowels. This is caused by the ducts
being stopped. and always disappears in a
weck after taking it. Read the label.
.I the storrach is foul or bilious it will
cause squears ish leelings at first.
No change of die ever necessary. .at
the bo,. you can ;rt and enough or it.
Dose, os tal,ke:onful in water at bo1
time. Sold by all Druggists.
"Liz," tai' Miss Riljordan's young

WISE WORDS,
What man has done, woman thinks
she can do.
Melody is the soul of music, while
harmony is its mind.
A pretty woman is the prettiest
thing on earth-to the eye.
The more a bachelor thinks of matri
mony the less of it he does.
A pair of soft brown eyes in a man's
heart makes him blind all over.
Faith in men and things is one of
mankind's slipperiest possessions.
A wife may easily love hErself
enough to make her husband unhappy.
Love is the great inexplicable, ard
marriage sometimes makes it mor3 so.
Strong action can issue only from
strong faith. Only out of certainty
comes power.
Sorrow herself will reveal one day
that she was only the beneficient
shadow of joy.
When a-man is no longer able to do
harm, he becomes possessed of an am
bition to do good.
Yon will not learn anything if you

The honeymoon has waned when
the bride stops telling thinps, and be

It is harder work hold ing back when

is to get up when one starts going up.
Women are safer in perilous situa

chivalry of manhood.
It is good to know that he who
makes nobier life possible by ayf con
scious work of his, for other peop!u
therein lives nobly himself, not merely
in their lives, but in his own.
It Is not our fortune in life, our sor
row, or our joy; it is the explanation
which we give of it ourselves, th
depth to which we can sea down into
it that make. our lives significaut or
insignificant to us.
To do what we ought to do i- an a!
together higher, diviner, more p3tent,
more creative thing than to write tie
grandest poem, paint the most beauti

or dream out the most enchanting
commotion of melo:y and harmony.
Res,oed "Old PLItl" Plow.
When the news came into Connecti
ut that the British soldiers had fireI
the shot heard "arouna the world"
Israel Patnain was plowing in a stony
field in his farm in Pomfret. The
plow vanished from the unfinished
furrow and from history, then and
there, when "Old Pat" took up arms
for his country.
It was rescued from a Windham
County barn loft a short time ago and
bought for a song by E. A. Brooks, an
enthusiastic relic hunter of Hartford,
Conn. It now occupies an honored
osition among his collection of cu
-iosities. The Patnam plow is~ a
pretty tough looking relic, but it is in
tact in all its p-rts. It is interesting
and valuable, aside from its associa
tions, in that it is a capital type of the
plow used in New Englan-1 during t'e
colonial period.
Mr. Brooks has also secured a wrin
kle.1 old image of Bacchus, the oldest
in the country, under whose benign
countenance travelers found enter
tainment in the o'.d Stanirord Tavern,
in Win.lhamn town, Conn., in the sev
enteenth century. The figure was
carved from a log of pine by British
prisoners in Windham yail in 178g. -
