Then tin' way of hope and life and labor he js guiltless in the eye ot the law,:, iml happiness to the sinner, who aud he is as though he I ad uoiie no wrong thing. J lis retention in prt n has expiated his I'rime : he is a pure member of society. Hut what Hays soeiuty through you '.' The answer by deeds is this : "Tin? stain ot that wrong shall; stay on him for ever; he shall lie haiiipcivd in every way ; he shall lie prevented from getting an hoiiorabli position by modJlesoine tongues reviving the story of the past; he shall helioiiud ed by the voices of those who say, I am holier than thou' ; he shall be made to fuel that the world is too email to hide himself, and the grave too shallow to purify him; tor the stigma of crime shall fasten even on liis children after him." If a man commit a sin and no one knows it, he is as pure as the luxsullied snow in the eyes of the world ; but if it lie known, though lie weep over it until its very sub tanoe is washed away by the flood of grief, though he agonize with re gret, though he spend his last effort to right a wrong, yet in every neighborhood are those whose niein oraes are long ns death or whose liearts are hard as adament, whose -cool, calculating ways save them from sin or whose clever conceal ments save them from discovery, these Pharisees, 1 say, will summon the ghosts of a man's past from the grave, though it lie buried deep be neath accumulated years of remorse And tinliappiness. Like mythical gools and real hyenas, these lovers of carrion will dig till they tiiuWlie treasure they ask, the sin spot ; and they rejoice with bowlings that all .ihe world can hear. ' If a life of probity be lived for 25 years or more, and the deeds of good lie plentiful a grain in harvest-time; if the citadel of character bo hold by keen conflict with evil, until Millie weary moment of sloth, and J'vil then rush in through some unguarded spot, though only lor a Jew .moments, the world through .1.1 te deeds of the world, fays that .tlieycars of probity count for naught. Thereafter the spot shall lie larger than the whole, the live minutes of evil blot out the the whole memory of a (piartcr of a century of good. .An earthquake rends in a moment iJm; works put up by a patient pro cess ot accretion, and there is noth ing then but dust and disaster where Ixsanty stood before ; and so is it with the dazed man who is the suf ferer from the moral upheaval of bitterness and uneharity in a com munity. One moment he rightly stands In-fore them all, worthy of iTinfidenee and recognized as a pow er for good, the next moment his clmracter lies. bruised and mangled, never to be well again so far as the Invites and Pharisees are, never to live mid move and have lull lioing again unless some barred-out Sa ri laritan with goodness, far excelling Ik t of these aloof ones, comes to the rtwv Wl1'1 sympathy and love. jj ft e;irl kept intentionally ig uorantV herself, tll(,se who train her .

The doctors soon pronounced her incurable. A celebrated New York specialist then treat ed her, but she con tinued to grow worse and when informed that both her aunt and grandmother had died from cancer he gave the case np as hopeless. Someone then re commended S.S.S. and thongh little hope remained, she begun it, and an improvement was no ticed. The cancer commenced to heal and when she had taken several bottles it disappeared entirely, and although sev eral years have elapsed, not a sign of the disease has ever returned.

This is on account of the way in which it is made. Nearly every rider haa heard of tlrea that "leak like a sieve." Many tirea rot, because water gets into the fabric between the two layers of rubber. The Morgan & Wright fabric is proof against moisture. Everybody knows how comfortable Morgan & Wright tires are, and yet how seldom they puncture. This is due to the fabric. Ask any bicycle dealer whether other tirea last as long as Morgan & Wright tires. Ask, also, what the Morgan & Wright guarantee means. Morgan & Wright tirea are repaired free of charge, at the factory in Chicago or at any of the Morgan & Wright free repair shops, located in the principal cities. , N. B. When you have a puncture, get right off. Riding a tire flat, when it has a tack or nail in it, may amage it considerably. llcldlebarfftlltirket Corrected weekly by our merchants.
