A BRAVE BIRO.
True Csumae Not lnc-onipatlll itllkt
Nenrnnen,
I suppose a bird Is the bravest crea
ture that lives, in aplte of lis naturnl
timidity. From which we may learn
that true courage Is not Incompatible
with nervousness, and that heroism
does not mean the absence of fear, but
the conquest of It. Who does not. re
member the Hist time he ever ran
across a hen partridge with her
brood, as he was strolling through the
woods In June? How splendidly the
old bird forgets herself in her efforts
to defend and side her young! Small
er birds are no less daring. One even
ing last summer 1 wus walking up the
KlBtlgouche fioin Cuiup Harmony to
Mowett's Rock, where my canoe was
waiting for me, to fish for salmon. As
I stepped out from a thicket on to
the shlugly bank of the river a spotted
sandpiper teetered along before me,
followed by three young ones.
Frightened at first, the mother flew
out a few feet over the water. But
the plperllngs could not fly, having
no feathers, and they crept onder a
crooked log. I rolled the log over
very gently and took one of the cow
ering creatures Into my hand a tiny,
palpitating scrap of life, covered with
soft gray down, and peeping shrilly,
like a Lilliputian chicken. And now
the mother wan transformed. Her fear
waa changed Into fury. She was a
bully, a fighter, an Amazon In
feathers. She flew at me with loud
cries, dushing herself almost into my
face. 1 was a tyrant, a robber, a kid
naper, and she called heaven to wit
ness that she would never give up her
offspring without a struggle. Then
she chnnged her tactics and appealed
to my baser passions. Hhe fell to
the ground and fluttered around me
as If her wing were broken. "Ixok!"
she soemed to say. "I am bigger than
that poor little baby. If you must eat
something, eat me! My wing Is lame.'
I can't fly. You can easily catch me.
Let that little bird go!" And so 1
did, and the whole family disappeared
in the bushes as if by magic. 1 won
dered whether the mother was saying
to herself, after the manner of her
sex, that men are stupid things, after
all, and no match for the cleverness of
a female who stoops to deception In a
righteous cause. Dr. Henry Van
Dyke.
AWFUL FAMINE
That Is No Mukl.iit of Inilla One Van
Cliarnel l'en.
The famine area In India is about
350,000 square miles, and extends over
the central, south and northwestern
provinces, says Leslie's Weekly. No
pen could describe Its awful horrors.
Bome of the things proved by pho
tography are too realistically horrible
to be reproduced in any publication,
and we print only a few of
the leas frightful photographs
taken by the missionaries, because
many have not believed that such an
awful condition could exist In this cen
tury of plenty and prosperity. Ema
ciated beyond belief, the starving na
tives crawl to the house of the nearest
sahib, usually a missionary, to cravs
food; but 60,000 mouths have to be fed.
Fifteen dollars a year will feed a Hin
du, yet even this pitiable allowance
is not to be had. The causes of the
famine are the failure of the crops, the
refusal of the native princes to allow
their hunting Jungles to be converted
Into fertile agricultural regions, and
the mysterious disappearance of a spe
cial famine fund of (100,000,000, col
lected by the government after the fa
mine of 1877. The Hindu Is a strict
Vegetarian. The low-caste Hindu is a
fatalist. So, when famine stalks abroad
the Hindu submits uncomplainingly.
Day by day be will subsist on leas food,
until at last, when a mere shadow, he
will drag his bony self to a relief sta
tion. There he may get food or he
may not. If not, he crouches In some
corner, or out in the fields, under God'B
trees, and awaits tbo coming of death.
The majority of the victims are women
and children.
They led nlnl.
"Spare me!" cried the captive, "and
I will be your slave for lire. I am a
cook by trade, and can make any dish
you desire." "Well." replied the can
nibal king, "you do look- as If you
would make a good hash. 1 think wo
.can use you." This reply, somewhat
ambiguous, left the captive In doubt,
but alas! not for long. Philadelphia

ix, .10, "And nil the widow stood by him
urrpiiiK nnd showing hi in the conls and
KiirmciitM which Don us iiinde w hile she
ivns with them."
lappa is a most nbmnliing city of the
Orient. Into her hnrhor once rlouted the
Hilts of liclmtinn cedar trom which the
tempi of ilerusnlem were builded, Solo
mon's oxen drawing the logs through the
town, llnre Napoleon hud fluo prisoner
massacred. One of the most magnificent
charities of the centuries was started in
this seaport by Dorcas, a woman with her
needle embroidering her iismc inefl'accahly
into tlie iM'neticence of the world. 1 see
her sitting in yonder home. In the door
way and uroiiml about the building and in
the room where she sits are the pale laces
ol the poor. She listens to their pliant,
she pities their woe. she makes garment
for them, she adjusts the msnufactiiied
articles to suit the lient. form of this inva
lid woman and to the cripple that comes
crawling on his hands and knees. She
gives a coat to this one; she gives sandals
lo thai one. With the gifts she mingle
prayers and tears and Christian encourage
ment. Then she goes out to be greeted on
the street cornein by those whom she ha
blessed, and all through the street the cry
is heurd, "Dorcas is coming!'' The sick
look up urntciully in her lure as she puts
her hand on the burning brow, and the
lost and the abandoned start up with hope
as they bear her gentle voice, as though
an angel had nddiesad them, and as she
goes out the lane eyes half put. out with
sin think they see a halo of light about
her brow and a trail of glory in her path,-,
way. That night a halt' paid shipwright
climbs the hil! und reaches home and sees
hi little boy well clad and snys, "Where
did these clotlicVc'o'rne from?" And they
tejihiin, "Dorcas has lieen here." In an
other place a woman is trimming a lnuip;
Dorcas bought the oil. In another place
a family that had not been nt table for
many a week are gathered now, for Dorcas
has brought brcad.-
Hut there is a'sudilcn pause in that wom
an's ministry. They say: "Where is Dor
cas? Why, wc haven't seen her for many
a day. Where is Dorcas?" And one ol
these poor tieoplc goes up nnd knocks at
the door ano finds the mystery solved. All
through the haunts ot wreti.iedness the
news comics, "Dorcas is sick!" No bulletin
flushing irom the pnlaee gate telling the
stages of a king's disease is more anxiously
waited for than the new from this liene
inetresi'. Alas, for doppa there is wailing,
wailing! That voice which has littered so
many cheerful words is hushed; that hand
which hns made so many garments for tlie
poor is cold ami still; the star which had
poured light into the midnight of wretch
edness is dimmed by the blinding mists
thut go up from the river of death. In
every forsaken place in that town, wher
ever there is a sick child and no balm
wherever there is hunger and no bread,
wherever there is guilt und no commisera
tion, wherever there is a broken heart ano
no Comfort, there ure despairing looks
and streaming eyes and frantic gesticula
tions an they cry, "Dorcas is dead!"
Ttiey send for the apostle I'ctcr, win
happens to be iu the suburbs ot the place
stopping with a tanner of tlie name of Si
mon. I'eter urges his way through tin
crowd around the door ami stands in tin
presence of the dead. What demonstra
tion of grief all about him! Here stand
some of the poor neople. who show tin
garments which this poor woman hac'
made for them. I heir grief cannot be up-
leased. The upwtle Peter wants to sr
orni a miracle. He will not do it amid tht
excited crowd, so he orders that the whole
room lie cleared. The apostle stunds now
with the dead. Oh, it is a serious mo
ment, you know, when you nre alone with
a lifeless bodv! The apostle gets down on
his knees ami plays, and then he comes to
the lifeless form oi this one ull ready foi
the sepulcher, and in tlie strength of Him
who is the resurrection he cries: "Tabitha,
urine!" There is u stir in the fountain!
of life, the heart flutters, the nerves thrill,
the cheek flushes, the eye opens, she siti
up.
We see in this subject Dorcas, the disci
lile, Dorcas the benefactress, Dorcas the
lamented, Dorcas the resurrected.
If I had not seen thut word disciple in
my text, 1 would huve known this woman
was a Christian. Such music as that nevet
came from a heart which is not chorded'
and strung bv divine grace, ltcfore I show
you tlie needlework of this woman I want
to show you her regenerated heart, the
source of a pure life and ot all Christian
charities. I wish thut the wives and moth
er and daughters and sisters of all the
earth would imitate Dorcas iu her disciple
ship. Jleiore you cross the threshold oi
the hospital, liefore you enter upon the
temptations and trials of to-morrow, 1
charge you in tlie name ot God and by the
turmoil and tumult of the judgment day,
O woman, that you attend to the iirst, last
rind greatest duty of your life the seeking
for (iod and being at peace with Him!
When the trumpet shall sound there will
he an uproar und a wreck of mountain
and continent, and no human arm can help
you. Amid the rising of the dead and
amid the boiling of yonder sea and amid
the live, 'raping thunders of the flying
heavens calm and placid will be every
woman's heart who hath put her trust in
Christ calm notwithstanding all the tu
mult, as though the lire in the heavens
were only the gildings of an autumnal sun
set, us though the awful voices of the sky
were but a group of friends bursting
through a gatewuy nt even time with
laughter ami shouting, "Dorcas the disci
ple!" Would tlod tliiit every Mary and
every Martha would this day sit down ut
the feet of Jesus!
Further, we see Dorcas, the benefactress.
History has told the story of the crown;
epic poet has sung of the sword; the pas
toral poet, with his verses full of the redo
lence ot clover tops uud a-rustle with tin
silk of the corn, has sung tlie praises o!
the iilow. 1 tell you the praises of tin
needle. From the tig leaf robe prepared
in the garden oi F.deu to the lust stitcli
taken on the garment for the poor the
needle has wrought wonders of kindness,
generosity and benefnetiou. It adorne.l
the girdle of the high priest, it fashioned
the curtains in the uucient tabernacle, it
cushioned the chariots of King Solomon,
It provided tlie robes of Queen Klizubeth
ami in high places und in low places, by
tlie lire of the pioneer's back log und im
iler the flash of the chandelier every
where it bus clothed nakedness, it has
preached the go-pel, it has overcome hosts
of eiiury and want with the war cry of
"Stitch, stitch, stitch!" The operatives
huve found a livelihood by it, una through
it the mansions of the employer ure con
st meted.
Amid the greatest triumphs in all ages
ami lands 1 set down the couipiests of the
needle. 1 admit its crimes; 1 admit its
nuclties. It bus had more martyrs than
Die lire; it bus punctured the eye; it 1ms
pierced the side; it has struck weiiknrss
Into the lungs; it has sent mildness into
the brain; it has filled the potter's field;,
it has pitched whole armies of the suffer
ing into crime and wretchedness und woe.
Hut now that 1 am talking of Dorcas ami
her ministries to the poor X shall speak
Duly of the charities of tlie needle. This
woman was a representative ot all those
who make garments for the destitute, who
knit socks for the barefooted, who prepare
bandages for the lacerated, who iix up
boxes of clothing for missionaries, who go
Into the asylums of the siiucrinir, and desti
tute bearing that gospel winch is sight for
the blind and hearing lor the deaf, and
w hich makes the lainti uiau leap like a hart
and brings the dead to lile, immortal
health bounding iu their pulses.
Whut a contrast between the practical
benevolence of this woman und u great
ileal ol the chanty ol tins day! Una
woman did not spend her limu idly plan
ning how tlie poor of the city of lopna
were to be relieved. She took her needle
and relieved them. She was not like those
persons who sympathize witli imaginary
sorrows and go out in tlie street nnd laugh
at llu:. boy., wbg hiw ilpt-it lit, buskct, . of
coin victuals, or like that cnarity wnien
nakes n T.i.i-0 ig speech on the benevolent:
pint form i ml (.e out to kick the beggar
from 'he step, (lying, "llnh Jour miser
able howling!" SuiVcrer oi the world
wnnl not so much llieorv sic practice; not
to much tears as dollars; not so much Kind
wishes us loaviM of hr.ad: not so much
smiles us shoes; not so much "God blc.s
von," as jackets nnd nocks. 1 will put
one eiirne-t Chris'inn man, hard-working.
SRiiinst "SI'S) mere theorist on the subject
of 1 luirity. There arc a great many who
have fine ulcus about church architecture
who never iu their lives helped to build a
-hnreh. There ure rm u who can give you
the history of Jluddliisni and Mohamme
danism who never sent a tarthing tot
nangeliation. There ure women who talk
Tcautifully about the suffering of the world
alio never had the courage, like Dorcas,
to take the needle and assault it.
1 am ghid that there i not a page of the
world's history which is not a record of
female benevolence. God any to all lands
m iK-ople. "Come, now. anil bear the
widow's mite rattle down into the poor
box." The Princess of Conti sold nil her
jewels that she inieht help the famine
stricken. Queen lilunrhe, the ' wife oi
Ixiuis VIII. of Krnnre, hearing that theif
were some persons unjustly incarcerated
in the prisons, went out niiiid the rabble
nnd took a slick and struck the door ns n
signal that, they might all strike it, and
down went the prison door, and out ciiun
the piisoncrs. Queen Maud, the wife ol
Henry 1., went down ninid the poor anc
washed their sores nnd administered tr.
them cordials. Mrs. Kctson, nt Matagor
da, npptnred on the battlefield while the
missile of death were flying arnuiid anil
enrol for the wounded. Is there a man
or woman who has ever heard of the civi'
war in America who has not heard of thi
women of the sanitary anil Christian com
mission or tlie fact that liefore the smoke
liail gone up from Gettysburg and South
Mountain the women of the north met the
women of the south on the battlefield, for
getting nil their animosities, while they
hound up tiie wounded and closed the eyet
of the slain? Dorcas the benefactress.
I come now to speak of Dorcas the fa
tnrnted. When death struck down that
good woman, oh, how much sorrow there
was in the town of Ioppn! I suppose there
were women there with larger fortunes
women perhaps with handsomer faces, but
there Mipj iii Jiicf.jt, Iheir departure like
tins at the dtatii of Dorcas. There weit
not more turmoil and upturning iji til
Mediterranean Sea dashin'iir ntTSifist the
wharves t.t that seaport than there were
surging lo and fro of grief because Dorcas
wu dead. There are a greut many who
go out of life nnd are unmissed. There
may lie a very large funeral, there may lie
a great many carriages and a plumed
heals.', there may be high sounding culo
giimin. tlie lie I may toll nt the cemeterv
gate, there piny be a very tine marble
shaft reared over the testing place, but
the whole thing may be a falsehood and a
sham
The hi, id of God hns lost nothing,
tlie world has lost nothing. It is only a
nuisance abated. It is only a grumhlet
censing to lux fault. If is only an idlei
stopped yawning It is only a dissipated
fashionable parted from his wine cellar,
w-hile on the other hand no useful Chris
tian leaves this world without lieing
missed.
The church of God cries out, like tbr
prophet, "Howl, fir tree, for the cedar has
fallen!" Widowhood come and show
the garments which the departed had
made. Orphans are lilted up to look into
the calm face of the sleeping benefactress
Keclnimed vagrancy comes and kisses the
coltl blow- of her who charmed it away
from sin, u-id rll through the streets of
loppn there is mourning mourning be
cause Dorcici is dead.
Has that Christian yyonian who went
away fifteen years ugo nothing to do with
these things? I see the (lowering out. ot
her noble heart. 1 hear the echo of het
footsteps in all the songs over sins for
jriven, in nil the prosperity of the church.
I'he good that seemed to lie buried lias
come up again. Dorcas is resurrected!
After awhile all these womanly friends
of Christ will put. down their needle for
ever. Alter muking garments tor others
some one will make a garment, for them;
the last robe we ever wear--the robe foi
the grave. You will have heard the last
cry of pain. You will have witnessed the
last orphanage. You will have come iu
worn out from your last round of mercy.
1 do not know where you will sleep not
what vour epitaph will be, but there will
be a lump hurtling nt thut tomh and mi
angel of God guarding it, and through all
the long night no rude foot will disturb
the dust. Sleep on, sleep on! Soft bed.
pleasant shadows, undisturbed ivpo.se!
Sleep on!
Asleep in ,lcsus! lllessed sleep
From w hich none ever wake to weep!
Then one day there will be a sky rend
ing uud a whirl ot wheels and the flush of
a pugeunt, armies marching, chains clunk
ing, banners waving, thunders booming,
and that Christian woman will arise from
the dust, and she will be suddenly sur
rounded surrounded by the wundercrs of
the street whom she reclaimed, surrouud
ed by the wounded souls to whom she had
administered!
Daughter of (iod, so strangely surround
ed, what means this? It means that re
ward has come; that the victory is won;
thut the crown is ready; that the banquet
is sprend. Shout it through ull the crumb
ling earth! Sing it through all the flying
heavens! Dorcas is resurrected!
In 1K.V), when some of the soldiers cume
back from the Crimean war to London,
the Queen of F.ugland distributed among
them beautiful medals, railed Crimean
medals. Galleries were erected for the two
houses of Puiiiiimeiit and the royal family
to sit in. There was a great audience to
witness the distribution of the medals. A
colonel who had lost, both feet in the bat
tle of Inkernuinn was pulled in on a wheel
chair; others came in limping on their
crutches. 'I hen the Queen of Kngland arose
before them in the name of her Govern
ment nnd uttered words of commendation
to the otlicer und men and distributed
those medals, inscribed with the four great
battlefields Alma, llahtklava, liikerinanu
mid Sevustosd. As the Queen gnve these
to the wounded men and the wounded offi
cer the bands of music struck up the na
tional air., and the people, with streaming
eyes, joined iu the song:
God save our gracious queen!
Long live our noble queen!
God save the queen! 1
Anil then they shouted "Huxzn! Huzza!"
Oh, it wui a proud day for those returned
warriors! Hut a brighter, U'tter and glad
der day will come when Christ shall guth
er those who have toiled iu His service
uood soldiers ot Jesus Christ. He hIiu'j rise
liefore them, nnd in the presence of nil lh"
glorified of heaven lie will say, "Well
done, uuod and faithful servant!" And
then He will distribute the medals of eter
nal victory, not inscribed with works of
righteousness which we huve done, but
with those four greut battlefields, dear to
earth und dear to heaven Bethlehem,
Nuru 1-etli, Gethsemuiie and Culvurj !

The Ae of Kims.
Mr. J. H. Gurney, In an article In
the Ibis, discusses a number of facts,
collected from various books and pa
pers, regarding the age to which birds
live. Mr. Dresser, In his "Birds ol
Europe," gives an Instance of a raven
having lived slxity-nine years. Mr
Meade-Waldo has In captivity a pair of
eagle owls, one of which 1b sixty-eight
and the other fifty-three years old.
Since 1864 these birds have bred regu
larly, and have now reared ninety
three young ones. A Batelur eagle and
a condor In the .Zoological gardens at
Amsterdam are still alive at the re
spective ages of fifty-five and fifty-two.
An Imperial eagle of the age of fifty
six, a gelden eagle of forty-six and a

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
