the heroes of the sick room. W hen Satan

that which we have all louiid out that
sickness is the ureatest lest of one's char
acter. A man who can stand that can
stand anvlhiiiK. To lie lmt in n room uf
last as though il, were a liastile, to lie so
nervous yon cannot emliire the tap of a
child's loot, to Imve luscious fruit, whieli

when it first appears on the platter; 10
have the rapier of pain strike tiironuh the
side or across the temple like n razor or
to put the loot into a vise or throw the
whole limly into a blaze of lever. Yet
there have been men anil women, but
inore women than men, who have cheer

years of exhaustiiiK rheumatisms and ex
crucial itif neuralgias they have (tone ami
through bodily distress that rasped I lie
nerves ami tore the nm-clcs and oalcd the
cheeks and stooped the shoulders. liy
the du'l light of the sick looni taper they
saw on their wall the picture of tliat land
where the inhabitants are never sick.
Through the dead silence of the night they
hei.rd the chorus of the angels.
The cancer ale awav her life from week
to week and day to day. ami she became
weaker and weaker and every "good
night"' was feebler than the "good night''
beloro, yet never sad. The children looked
up into her face and saw suffering trans
formed into a heavenly smile. Those who
suli'ered on the battlclield amid shot and
shell were not more heroes and heroines
than those who, in e field hospital ami
in the asylum, had levers which no ice
could cool and no surgery cure. Xo shout
ot a comrade to cheer tlieui, but uiiinlmess
and lu lling ami homesickness, yet willing
to sutler, confident in tiod, hopeful oi
heaven. Heroes of rheumatism, heroes ol
neuralgia, heroes of spinal complaint, he
roes of sick headache, heroes of lifelong
invalidism, heroes and heroines! Thev
shall reign for ever and ever. Hark! 1
catch just, one note of the etcrnnl anthem,
"There shall be no more pain!" Ulcss
tiod for that!
In this roll 1 also find the heroes of toil,
who do their work uncomplainingly. It
is comparatively easy to lead u regiment
into batte when you know thai, the whole
nation will applaud the victory, it is com
paratively easy to doctor the sick when
you know that your skill will lie appre
ciated by a large company of ll lends ami
relatives, it is comparatively easy to ail
dress mi audience when in the gleaming
eyes and Hushed cheeks you know that
your sentiments are adopted, but to do
sewing when you expect the employer will
come ami thrust his thumb through the
work to show how imperfect it is or to
have the whole garment i.towii back on
you to be done over auaiu: to build a
wall and know there will be no one to
say voil did it well, but only n swearing
employer howling across the scaffold ; to
work until your eyes are dim and your
back aches and yoiir heart faints, and to
know that if you stop before night, your
children will starve! Ah. the sword has
not slain so many as the needle! The
great battlefields of our civil war were not
(ictlvsbiirg and Shiloh and South Mount
ain. ' I lie great battlefields were in the
arsenals ami in the shops and in the at
tics, where women made army jackets for
a sixpence. I liey toiled on until tiny
died. They had no funeral eiilogiuni. but.
in the name of my tiod. this day I enroll
their names aiming those of whom the
world was not worthy. Heroes of the
needle! Heroes of the sewing machine!
Heroes of the attic! Heroes of the cel
lar! Heroes and heroines! Mess Hod
for them!
In this roll I also find tlio heroes who
have uncomplainingly endineii domestic
injustices. They are men who for their
toil and anxiety have no sympathy iu
their homes. Exhausting application to
business gets them a livelihood, but an
unlrugal wife scatters it. He is fretted at
from the moment he enters the door until
lie comes out of it. The exasperations of
business life, augmented by the exaspera
tions of domestic life. Such men are
laughed nt, but they have a heartbreaking
trouble, and they would have long ago
gone into appalling dissipation but ior the
grace of (iod.
Society to-day is strewn with the
wrecks of men who, under the northeast
storms of domestic lelicity. have been
driven on the rocks. There are tens of
thousands of drunkards to-day, made such
by their wives. That is not poetry: that
Is prose. Hut the wrong is generally in
the opposite direction. on would not
have to go far to liud n wife whose lile
is a perpetual martyrdom -something
heavier than a stroke of the list, unkind
words, staggering home at midnight and
constant maltreatment, which have lelt
tier only a wreck of what she was on that
day wlieu in the luiilst of a brilliant as
semblage the vows were taken and lull
organ pluved the wedding march and the
carriage rolled away with the benediction
of the people. What was the burning ol
Latimer and Hidlcy at the stake coin
pared with this? 'lhose men soon became
unconscious in the tire, but tncre is a
thirty years' martyrdom, a filty years
putting to death, yet uncomplaining, no
(litter words when the rollicking compan
ions at '! o'clock iu the morning pitch the
husband deail drunk into tlie Irout entry,
no bitter words when willing from the
swollen brow the blood struck out in a
midnight carousal, bending over the bat
tered and bruised form of him who when
he took her from her father's home prom
ised love and kindness und protection, yet
nothing but sympathy and prayers and
forgiveness before they are asked for;
no bitter words when the family Hi hie
goes for rum anil the pawnbroker's shop
gets the last decent dress. Koine day,
desiring to evoke the story of her sol
rows, voil say, "Well, how are you get
ting along now?" and. rallying her
trembling voice and quieting her quivering
lip. she hiivs, "I'retty well. 1 thank you;
prettv well." She never will toll you. In
the delirium of her last sickness she may
tell all the other secrets of her lifetime,
but she will not tell that. Not until the
books of eternity ure opened on the
throne of judgment will ever bo known
what she has suffered.
I find also in this roll the heroes oi
Christian charity. We all admire tbs
George Pen body and the James 1-enoxea
of the earth, who give tens and hundreds
of thousands of dollars to good objects.
Hut 1 am speaking now of those who, out
of their pinched poverty, help others of
such men us those Christian inissiouuricH
at the west, who proclaim Christ to i iw
people, one of them, writing to the secre
tary in New York, saying: "I thank you
for that $25. Until yesterday we have

Ins armed men and shouted in Irout. ol

out. He said to her. "Well. miss, is Mr.

she could not betray the minister of the
gospel. "Ha!" Clavrhoiise said, "Then
voil are a chip of the old block, are you?
I have something in my pocket lor you.
It is n nosegay. Some people call it n
thumbscrew, lint 1 call it a nosegay."
And he got oil his horse, and l.e put il
on the little girl's hand and began to turn
it until the bones clacked and she cried.
Me said: "Don't cry, don't cry. This
isn't a thumbscrew; this is a nosegay."
And they heard the child's civ, nml the
lather and mother came out, and Claver
house said: "It seems that you three
have laid your holy heads together, lie
termined to die like all the rest if your
hypocritical, canting, sniveling crew,
liatlier than give up good Mr. Atkins,
pious Mr. Atkins, von would die, 1 have

tol. "Now." he said, "you old pragmatic,
lest you should entch cold in this cold
morning of Scotland, and for the honor
and safety ol the king, to say nothing
of the rlory ol (iod ami the good of our
souls, I will proceed simplv and in the
neatest and most expediliois style t
hlotv your brains out.'
John llrown tell upon bis knees and
began to pray. "Ah! ' said Claverhouse,
"look out if you are going to pray. Steer
clear of the king, the council and ltichard
Cameron." "O Lord." said .lohn llrown,
"since it seems to be Thy will that 1 should
leave this world for a world where I
can love Thee better and serve Thee more,
I put this poor widow woman and these
helpless, fatherless children into Thy
bunds. We have been together ill peace
a good while, but now we must look forth
to a better meeting in heaven, and ns for
these poor creatures, blindfolded and in
fatuated, that stand before ine, convert
them before it be too late, und may they

place on this blessed morning upon inc.
a poor, dctcnselcss fellow creature, may
they in the last judgment Iind that mercy
which they have refused to me. Thy most

He rose anil said, "Isabel, the hour has
come of which I spoke to you on the

have had enough oi it. Soldiers, do your

of John Hrown was scattered on the
ground. While the wile was gathering

said: "Now, my good woman, how do ton

Who are they? The Lord Claverhous.-s
and Herods and those who had c;'itc-is
and crowns und thrones, but they lived
for their own aggrandizement, and they
broke the heart of nations. Heroes of

drums of their eternal despair. Woe,
woe, woe!
What harm can the world do you when
the Lord Almighty with unshcathed sword
tights for you? 1 preach this sermon for

where God has put you to pluy the hero

tion of the ilend was commonly nceepted
anionic the Jews; and thnt, bad as Herod
was, hit Imlieved In the Immortality of tho
soul and the resurrection of the dead.
17. "In prison." The pluye of his Im
prisonment and death wus Maehorus, nine
miles northesst of tho Dead Ke.i See
dictionary. "For Hrodlns' snko." This
woman was n granddaughter of Herod the
Oreat, Nho llrst married Horod Philip, her

Herod hnd put awny bis legal wife, tho
daughter of Arotns, king of Arabia rotreii.
nint hnd taken Herodius, though ThlMp,
Herodins' husband, was still living.
IH. "John had said unto Herod." Tho
Oreek verb Is iu tho imperfect tense and
means that "he repeatedly reproved bltn."
John was bold and fearless, Puulio nius
need to be severely rebuked,
1!. "Hilda quarrel." "Sot horsolt against
him." It. V. Hho hutod John ns an eniuny
because he hnd rebuked her sins. "Would
have killed him." Desired to kill him.
Ono form of sin loads to another. "She
could not." Horod would not yield to her
purposes at first, but maroly threw John In
prison.
'JO. "For Herod feared John." He Iind
respoot for him nnd feared bis words. The
truth at first took hold of his conscience.
"Knowing thnt," etc. This makes Herod's
sin all tho more glaring and heinous. From
this we see thnt holiness and Justice com
mand the respect even of sinners. "And
observed him." "Kept him stfe." It. V,
Herod did not allow Herodius to accom
plish her desires. "When ho heurd him.'
Herod went rupentedly to John's prouoh
Iuk. "He did ranny things." Ho wus not
only a hearer of the word, but wns In part
n door of the work. Homenlus which John
reproved he forsook, and some duties he
performed; but "he was much perplexed"
(H. V.), not knowing whether to give up
his sins fully or to continue In them. He
was "almost persuaded." "Heard him
glndly." 8o near wns he to the point of
ncoeptlng the truth. It is dnngurous to
be near. If Herod bad been told that In a
year or two from the time he was thus ad
miring John be would take off his head, he
would not have believed It; yet such Is the
hnrdenlng and demoralizing effects ot sin.
31. "Wtien a convenient day." For
Herodlas. She was watching her oppor
tunity to kill John. This convenient day
came for her when Herod made a birthday
feast In the nalnes at Macherus.
aa. "The daughter dauced." Hnlome,

pleased Herod." They were probably half
Intoxicated, reclining at the tables, ns their
custom wns. The Infamous saloon system
ot to-day ls only a remnant ot the ancient
revels, that were so vile nnd corrupting lu
their effects. And yet the million Is licensed,
and thus permitted nnd protected bylaw!
23, "He sware under her." It Is always
wrong to foreswear ourselves, by promis
ing to do, or to keep secret, what has not,
as yet, been disclosed to us. "Unto the
half of my kingdom." A kingdom for a
dnnoel The promise of a drunken mat!.
Hut bow many In our day give away the
whole kingdom of their souls, with health
nnd hope, prosperity, peaoe and goodueis
yen, the whole kingdom ot heaven for
the paltry price ot a glass of wine; the
pleasure ot the table; the gratification ot
passlou or pride; the acquisition of a little
money.
24. "What shall I ask?" The mother was
not long In telling her; she was waiting for
this question.
28. "With baste." There Is no time to
lose If their murderous Intont Is carried
out. Herod drunk will do whut Herod
sober has refused to do. "Give mo by nnd

He cared more for his oath than for his
conscience, or John, or his God, He could

oath thnt he never should have taken,
There are many to-day who, for thesuko

A Lstla (T) BenUnce.
It is the custom ol a teacher In tin
Central High school to have bei
scholars write their Latin translations
on the blackboard, each pupil writing
one. The space for such work Is small,
consequently the sentences are often
so crowded that it is difficult to find
the one being read by the pupil whoso
turn It is to recite. It greatly facili
tates matters if he designates the part
of the board on which tils sentence,
may be found by a few words, as
"front board," or "by the window."
Mot long ago a boy was the iunoconl
cause of a great deal of laughter by
interposing the words "on the elds
board," after be bad read the first few
words of bis sentence, wblcb were:
"The Helvetians were fighting fierce
ly," making it appear, "The Helve
tians were fighting fierce! on tho
fide board." filwysilwnrl

enlisted In 1863 in the Seventh Connecticut,

Particularly polite and gallant was
the young man who was tntinterlnp
down W'ltherell street one day not long
ago, when the sidewalks were covered
with slush nnd the ditches were flood
ed to the top of the curb. He wore e
pink carnation In his coat lapel; hlf
trousers were definitely creased; nil
shoes had lately been polished, al
though the wealth of slush on th
walks had dimmed their brilliancy, lit
was approaching a crossing. Jus)
ahead of him a young woman waf
wheeling a baby carriage In the same
direction. The gutter was more than
ankle deep with ice cold water. The
young woman hesitated. To the res
rue enme the young man. "Can't I as
sist you?" he asked. "Thank you so
much," was the reply, so appreciative
In Its tone that the young man boldly
stepped into the watery ditch and fer
ried the lady across. Then he picked
up the carriage and carried It over.
"There," he said, as he sat It down,
"I guess I haven't wakened it." He
said "it" because he didn't know
whether there was a girl or boy under
tho shawl. "Oh, It lan't a baby," vol
unteered the young lady. "I was down

to get the groceries home, you know."

The Best Prescription Is Grove's
Tasteless Chill Tonic.
The Formula Is Plainly Printed on Every Bottle.
So That the People May Know Just
What They Are Taking.
Imitators do not advertise their formula
knowing that you would not buy their medi
cine if you knew what it contained. Grove's
contains Iron and Quinine put up in correct
proportions and is in a Tasteless form. The
Iron acts as a tonic while the Quinine drives
the malaria out of the system. Any reliable
druggist will tell you that Grove's is the
Original and that all other so-called "Taste
less" chill tonics are imitations. An analysis
of other chill tonics shows that Grove's is
superior to all others in every respect. You are
not experimenting when you take Grove's its
superiority and excellence having long been
established. Grove's is the only Chill Cure sold
throughout the entire malarial sections of the
United States. No Cure, No Pay. Price, 500
A Foreign Tonini,
On the strength of a story printed
In the Washington Star, It may be said
that It is a wise person that knows
his own vernacular after the dialect

Puffs under the eyes; red nose; pimple

BILE IN THE BLOOD. It is true, drink

but failure to assist nature in .regularly dis

to rot there, is what causes all the trouble.
