Tljere Is probably nothing that agitates the minds' of ordinary mortals more than religion; and thero is no condition of toclety that does not offer devotion to some material or immaterial God. Tho Chinaman vener ates the philosophy of Confucius and bows down to the Omnipotence of the Grand Lama; tha Hindoo enters his shrine and offers dsvotion to a material Image to whom he attrlbn.es supreme attributes; tho Par- sees, or followers of Zoroaster, uncover their heads and turn roverontly to the ris ing or the setting sun, nnd offer their adoration to that great luminary; the "American Indian eecs his Oud In tho sun, moon oud stars Ibat are over him, in tho rocks and clay that is under him, and in the very atmosphere that is around him.

Why all kthis devo tion? there must bo a cause for U, Is It to bo attributed to the menial frailties nnd physical Inllrmatlves of mankind that thus devote themselves to some higher Being for assistance nud redemption? Undoubtedly, to tome extent it is; but more so to tho fact that we see our Iclluw-beings daily pass nway Imm us nnd we Ijo, soon must ful low that our minds comiiiciico to ponder and to meditate, and we give ourselves to devotion and to thoughts concerning the future. Our own Immortality is upper. most in our minds, nud in what way In at tain it naturally follows. In Ihe material world there is no evidence that iinmottality awaits ur; but wo can not begin to think, when we imbed in the bowels of tho earth our fellow beings, that their shall be no resurrection uo grand re union. Also our Innate feelings prompt us to "look up" to some higher power and well it has been id Hint heaven is on the side of those who Wok up. "Look up" should be our motto and our guide, for it shows the purity ol our intentions and the determination of our hearts.

Upon landing in New York it had been Ills In tentlon to take up a tract of land which he had already paid a small sum on. He was tn have it for $2000, and had he secured it an, remained thero he would have been one of Brooklyn's millionaires, for the land is now tba yery wealthiest portion in that city. A number of his friends and country men had located at this place in the early days of Ihe canal busiueis and he was ier. suaded to join them.

JTftiVoM: Tho upper portion of Vermont Is one of the pleatantest regions in America, during the summer nud ono of tha bleakest during tho winter. It affords ample opportunity Tor lhelour!st,provlding he chooses the proper season, but the pres ent tlmo Is not tliaCtrason, Still there era mon and women hero who not only endure the rlimate, but'pralse it iinstintlugly, and that, ton, In the face of physical hardships the most Intense. The writer heard of a striking Illustration of this a few days since which Is given herewith: Mr, Joseph Jacques It connected with tho Vermont Central railroad in tho capacity of muster mason. Ho Is well advanced in years, with a ruddy complexion and halo appearance, while his general bearing is such as to Instantly Impress one with his strict honor nnd Integrity, Several years ago he became afflicted with most distress? lug troubles, which proycuted tho prosecu tion of his duties. Ho was languid, and yet resuess, wiiuo at times a uiszincas would como over him which seemed almost blinding. His will power was strong, and he determined not In give way to the mys terious influence which seemed undermin ing his ll.n. But the pain nnd annoying symptoms were stronger thsn his will, ami be kept growing gradually worse. About that time ho began to nolire a difficulty in drawing nn his hoots, and It was by the groaiosl cllort that lie wno able to rorco his feet into them. In this manner several weeks passed by, until finally one night, whit in great agony, ho discovered that his feet hud, in a short while, swollen to enormous prnmrti(.ns. The balance of tho narrative can best be described in bit own words He said; "When my wife ditcovcred tho fact that I was so bloated, she sent for the doctor im mediately. Ho made a most careful ex uminotioii nnd pronounced me in-n very serious condition. Notwithstanding his car, I grew worse, and the swellingof my teci grailnalty extended upward tn my body. The toil of my head puiuod me ter nbly; indeed, so badly that nt times it seemed almost as if it would burst. My feet wero painfully cold, anil even when surrounded with hot flannels and irons felt as if u strong wind were blowing on them. Next my right leg became paralyzed. This caye mo no piln, but it wns exceodinitly annoying. About this tlmo I began to spit blood most Ireely, nlthnogh my lungs wero ill porfeet condition, and I knew it did not come from thorn. My physicians were careiui und untiring in tneir attentions, but unable to relieve my suffering. My neigh bors und Mends thought I was dvinc and many collel to see mo, fully twenty fiye oo a singlo Sunday that I now recall. At last my agony seemed to culminate In the inot Intense, sharp pains I have ever kuown or heard of. If red hot knives sharpened to the highest degrco bad been run through my body constantly they could not have hurt me woifc. I would spring un in bed. sometimes as mucu as three lcct,cry nut in my ngmy and long for death. One night tho misery was so intense that I nroso and attempted to go into the next room, but was unable to lift my swollen leet above the little threshold that obstructed them. I fell back upon the bed nnd casned in mv agony, but felt unable eveu to breath, it seemed like death. "Several vcnis nco Rev. Dr. J. E. Ran kin, now of Washington, was stationed here as pastor of the Congregational church. Wo nil admired aud respected him, und my wne reiucmuercd seeing sotneirnere mat he spoken in the hichest terms of n nreiiar- ution which had cured some of his intiinute friends. Wo determined to try this remedy, accordingly sent for it, nnd,Io make a long story shorl.itcomplftely restored my health, orougni mo back Irom the grime, omt i owe all I have in the way of health and strength tn Wnrner's Safe Cure, better known as Warner s Safe Kidney and Liver Cure. 1 am iHisitivn that if I had taken this mcdi cine when I felt the first symptoms above described, I might hnvo avoided all the agony I afterward endured, to say, nothing ol iho narrow escape I had fro n death." jn order mat all possible lacts bearing upon the subject iniulit be known. I called on Dr. Oscar F. Fassett, who was for nine teen years United Stales Examining Sur geon, and who attended Mr. Jacques during hissickness. He stated that Mr. Jacques had n most pronounced caso of Albuminuria or Bright's disease of the kidneys. That nn analysis showed tho presence of nlbiimeu and casts iu groat ubuudanco and that ho was in n condition where few it any ever recover. His recovery was duo to Warner's Safe Cure. Mr. John W. Hobart, General Manager of the Vermont Central railroad, staled that Mr. Jacques was one of tho best mid inott faithful of his employes, that his sickness had been nn exceedingly severe one and Ihe company were not only glad tn again have his services, but grateful tn the remedy that had cured so valuable a man. Mr. James M. Fuss, assistant superintrn- ilentnml muster mechanic of the Vermont Central ruilroad.ls also able to confirm this. I dn not claim to be a great discoverer, but I do think 1 havo found in the above a most remarkable ca3C,md knowing the un usual increase of Bright'a dlaense feel that the public should have tha benefit of it. It seems to me a remedy thut can accompli! an much in the list biases ought to do even moro for the first approach of this deceptive yet lerriblo trouble. i. li. R:-7al Arcanum.
