I "AYER'S^PILLS"Ayer's Cathartic Pills for over thirty

years have kept mo in good health,never having had a sick day in all that

I that nine-tenths of my troubles were

v caused by constipation, I began the useof Ayer's Pills, with the most satisfactoryresults, never having a singleattack that did not readily yield to thisremedy. My wife, who had been an

invalid for years, also began to use

Ayer's Pills, and her health was quicklyrestored. With iny children I had noticedthat nearly all their ailments were

k j preceded by constipation, and I soon

had the pleasure of knowing that withchildren as with parents, Ayer's Pills,if taken in season, avert all danger ofsickness.".H. "Wettstein, Byron, 111.

I' CAUSES OF FAILURE.fREV. DR. TALMAGE'S 5ERMUN UIN

THE DRAMA OF LIFE.

It Appears That People Used to Go to

the Theater In the Days of Job.A

Unique Peroration Vindicating Shakespearoof Infidelity.

Washington, May 24..Rev. Dr. Talmagein this discourse sets forth thecauses of failure in life, drawing on a

Biblical reference to the theater for startlingillustration. His text was Jobxxvii, 23, "Men shall clap their handsat him and shall hiss him out of hisplace."

This allusion seems to be dramatic.The Bible more than once makes suchallusions. Paul says, "Wo are made a

theater or spectacle to angels and tomen." It is evident from the text thatSome of the habits of theater goers were

I known in Job's time, because he defY scribes an actor hissed off the stage.The impersonator comes on the boardsand, either through lack of study of thepart he is to takeror inaptness or other

. incapacity, the audience is offended andexpresses its disapprobation and disgust.v» "Mon cV-r.ll ^>lnn their hands

at him and shall hiss him out of hisplace."

The Actors of Life.

My text suggests that each one of us

is put on the stage of this world to takessome part. What hardship and sufferingand discipline great actors have undergoneyear after year that they might beperfected in their parts you have oftenread. But we, put on the stage of thislife to represent charity and faith andhumility and helpfulness.what littlepreparation we have made, although we

^have three galleries of spectators, earthand heaven and hell! Have we not beenmore attentive to the part taken by othersthan to the part taken by ourselves,and, while vfe needed to bo looking athome and concentrating .on our own

duty, we have been criticising the otherperformers, and saying, "that was too

high," or "too low," or "too feeble,"or "too extravagant," or "too tame," or

"too demonstrative," while we ourselveswere making a dead failure and

preparing to be ignominicusly hissed offthe stage? Each one is assigned a place,no supernumeraries hanging around thedrama of life to take this or that or the

t- «

other part, as they may be called upon.No one can take our place. We can takeno other place. Neither can we put offour character; no change of apparel can

make us any one else than that which1we eternally are.

Many make a failure of their part in

f the drama of lifo through dissipation.> They have enough intellectual equipmentand good address and genialityunbounded. But they have a wine closetthatcontains all the forces for their socialand business and moral overthrow.So far back as the year 959, King Edgarof England made a law that the drinkingcups should have pins fastened at a

r V certain point in the side, po that the indulgermight be reminded to stop beforehe got to the bottom. But there are no

pins projecting from the sides of tkomodern wine cup or beer mug, and thefirst point at which millions step is at

J the gravity bottom of their own grave.Dr. Sax of France has discovered some

- * *

thing whicn ail arniKeraougm,He has found out that alcohol in every

f - shape, whether of wine or brandy or

beer, contains parasitic life called bacilluspoturnanise. By a powerful microscopethese living things are discovered,

and when you taku strong drink youtake them into the stomach and then

i into your blood, and, getting into thecrimson canals of life, they go into everytissue of your body, and your entire

organism is taken possession of by thesenoxious infinitesimals. When in deliriumtremens, a man sees every form ofreptilian life, it seems it is only these

parasites of the brain in exaggeratedsize. It is not a hallucination that thevictim is suffering from. He only sees

in the room what is actually crawling£ and rioting in his own brain. Every

t time you take strong drink you swallow

| these maggots, and every time the imbiberof alcohol in any shape feels vertigoor rheumatism or nausea it is onlythe jubilee of these maggots. Efforts are

being made for the discovery of some

germicide that can kill the parasites ofalcoholism, but the only thing that willever extirpate them is abstinence from

i alcohol and teetotal abstinence, to

!Dangers of Strong Drink.

America is a fruitful country, andwe raise large crops of wheat and corn

and oats, but the largest crop we raisein this country is the crop of drunkards.With sickle made out of the sharp edgesof the broken glass of bottle and demijohnthey are cut down, and there are

whole swathes of them, whole windrowsof them, and it takes all the hospitalsand penitentiaries and graveyards andcemeteries to hold this harvest of hell.Some of you are going down under thisevil, and the never dying worm of alcoholismhas wound around you one of itscoils, and by next New Year's day itwill have another coil around you, andit will after awhile put a coil aroundyour tongue, and a ooil around yourbrain, and a coil around your lung, anda coil around your foot, and a coilaround your heart, and some day thisnever dying worm will with one springtighten all the coils at once, and in thelast twist of that awful convolution youwill cry out, "Oh, my God!" and begone. The greatest of dramatists in thetragedy of "The Tempest" sends staggeringacross the stage Stephano, the

, drunken butler; but across the stage oi

human life strong drink sends kinglyand queenly and princely natures staggeringforward against the footlights ofconspicuity and then staggering backinto failure till the world is impatientfor their disappearance, and human anddiabolic voices join in hissing them offthe stage.Many also make a failure in the

drama of life through indolence. Theyare always making calculations how

little they can do for the compensationsthey get There are more lazy ministers,lawyers, doctors, merchants, artists andfarmers than have ever been countedupon. The community is full of laggardsand shirkers. I can tell it fromthe way they crawl along the street,from their tardiness in meeting engagements,from the lethargies that 6eem to

hang to the foot when they lift it, tothe hand when they put it out, to thewords when they speak.

Out of Place.> Two young men in a store. In themorning the one goes to his post the lastminute or one minute behind. The otheris ten minutes before the time andhas his hat and coat hung up and is athis post waiting for duty. The one isever and anon in the afternoon lookingat his watch to see if it is not most timeto shut up. The other stays half an

hour after he might go. and when askedwhy, says he wanted to look over some

entries he had made to be sure ho was

right, or to put up some goods that hadbeen left out of place. The one is verytouchy about doing work not exactlybelonging to iiira. ine otner is giau iu

help^the other clerks in their work. Thefirst will be a prolonged nothing, andhe will be poorer at 60 years of age thanat 20. The other will be a merchantprince. Indolence is the cause of morefailures in all occupations than youhave ever suspected. People are too lazyto do what they can do, and want toundertake that which they cannot do.In the drama of life they don't want tobe a oommon soldier, carrying a halberdacross the stage, or a falconer, or a mere

attendant, and so they lounge about thescenes till they shall be called to besomething great. After awhile, by someaccident of prosperity or circumstances,they get into the place for which theyhave no qualification. And very soon,if the man be a merchant, he is goingaround asking his creditors to compromisefor 10 cents on the dollar. Or,if a clergyman, he is making tiradesagainst the ingratitude of churches. Or.if an attorney, by unskillful managementhe loses a case by which widowsand orphans are robbed of their portion.Or, if a physician, he by malpracticegives his patient rapid transit from this

j world to the next. Our incompetentfriend would have made a passablehorse doctor, but he wanted to be proifessor of anatomy in a university. Hecould have sold enough confectionery tohave supported his family, but he wantedto have a sugar refinery like theHavemeyers. He could have mendedshoes, but he wanted to amend the constitutionof the United States. Towardthe end of life these people are out ofpatience, out of money, out of friends,out of everything. They go to the poor-house, or keep out of it by running indebt to all the grocery and dry goodsstores that will trust them. People bejgin to wonder when the curtain willdrop on the scone. After awhile, leav!ing nothing but their compliments to

pay doctor, undertaker, and GabrielGrnbb, the gravedigger, they disapjpear. Exeunt! Hissed off the stage.

A Moral Nuisance.

Others fail in the drama of lifethrough demonstrated selfishness. Theymake all the rivers empty into theirsea, all the roads cf emolument end at

their door, and they gather all theplumes of honor for their brow. Theyhelp no one, encourage on one, rescueno one. "How big a pile of money can

I get?" and "How much of the worldcan I absorb?" are the chief questions.They feel about the common people as

the Turks felt toward the Asapi, or

common soldiers, considering them of?:o use except to fill up the ditches withtheir dead bodies while the other troopswalked over them to take the fort. Afterawhile this prince of worldly successis sick. The only interest society has inhis iJluess is the effect that his possibledecease may have on the money markets.After awhile he dies. Great newsuanercanitals announce how he startedwith nothing and ended with everything.Although for sake of appearancesome people put handkerchiefs to theeye, there is not one genuine tear shed.The heirs sit up all night when he liesin state, discussing what the old fellowhas probably done with his money. Ittakes all the livery stables within twomiles to furnish funeral equipages, and

Condensed Testimony.Chas. B. Hood, Broker and Manufacturer'sAgent, Columbus, Ohio,

certifies that Dr. King's New Discoveryhas no equal as a Coughremedy. J. D. Brown, Prop. St.James Hotel, Ft. Wayne, Ind., testifiesthat he was cured of a Cough

| of two years standing, caused by LaGrippe, by Dr. King's New Discovery.B. F. Merrill, Baldwinsville, Mass.,says that he has'used and recommendedit and never knew it to fail andwould rather have it than any doctor,because it always cures. Mrs. Hemming,222 E. 25th St., Chicago,always keeps it at hand and has no

fear of Croup, because it instantlyrelieves. Free Trials Bottles at J.E. Kauffman's Drug Store.

Deafness Cannot be Cured.

By local applications, as they cannotreach the diseased portion of theear. There is only one way to cure

Deafness, and that is by constitutionalremedies. Deafness is causedby an inflamed condition of the mucouslining of the Eustachian Tube.When this tube gets inflamed youfcotra a rnmhlinnr fiOUTld or imperfecthearing, and when it is entirelyclosed Deafness is the result, andunless the inflammation can be takenout and this tube restored to its normalcondition, hearing will be destroyedforever; nine cases out of tenare caused by catarrh, which isnothing but an inflamed condition ofthe mucous surfaces.We will give One Hundred Dollarsfor any case of Deafness (caused

by catarrh) that cannot be cured byHall's Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars,free.

all the mourning stores are kept busy inselling weeds of grief. The stone cutterssend in proposals for a monument. Theminister at the obsequies reads of theresurrection, which makes the hearersfear that if the unscrupulous financierdoes come up in the general rising, hewill try to get a "corner" on tombstonesand graveyard fences. All good men are

glad that the moral nuisance has beenremoved. Tho Wall street speculatorsare glad because there is more room forthemselves. The heirs are glad becausethey get possession of the long delayedinheritance. Dropping every feather ofall his plumes, every certificate of allhis stock, every bond of all his investments,every dollar of all his fortune,he departs, and all the rolling of "DeadMarch" in " Saul," and all the pageantryof his interment, and all the exquisitenessof sarcophagus, and all the extravaganceof epitaphology, cannot hide thofact that my text has come again to tremendousfulfillment, "Men shall claptheir hands at him and shall hiss himout of his place."You see the clapping comes before

the hiss. The world cheers before itdamns. So it is said the deadly asptickles before it stings. Going up, is he?Hurrah! Stand back and let his gallopinghorses dash by, a whirlwind ofplated harness and tinkling headgearand arched neck. Drink deep of hismadeira and cognac. Boast of how wellyou know him. All hats off as he passes.Bask for days and years in the sunlightof his prosperity. Going down, is he?Pretend to be nearsighted so that youcannot see him as he walks past. Whenmen ask vcu if you know him, halt andhesitate . as though you were trying tocall up a dim memory and say, "Well,y-e-s, yes, I believe I once did knowhim, but have not seen him for a longwhile." Cross a different ferry from theone where you used to meet him lest he

ask for financial help. When yon startedlife, he spoke a good word for you.at thebank. Talk down his credit now thathis fortunes are collapsing. He put hisname on two of your notes. Tell himthat you have changed your mind aboutsuch things, and that you never indorse.After awhile his matters come to a deadhalt, and an assignment or suspensionor sheriff's sale takes place. You say:"He ought to have stopped sooner. Justas I expected. He made too big a splashin the world. Glad the balloon hasburst. Ha, ha!" Applause when hewent up, sibilant derision when he camedown. 4 'Men shall clap their hands athim and hiss him out of his place." So,high up amid the crags, the eagle fluttersdust into the eyes of the roebuck,which then, with eyes blinded, goestumbling over the precipice, the greatantlers crashing on the rocks.

Consecrated to God.Now, compare some of these goings

out of life with the departure of men

and women who in the drama of lifetake the part that God assigned themand then went away honored of men

and applauded of the Lord Almighty.It is about 60 years ago that in a comparativelysmall apartment of the citya newly married pair set up a home.The first guest invited to that residencewas the Lord Jesus Christ, and the Bi.ble given the bride on the day of herespousal was the guide of that household.Days of sunshine were followedby days of shadow. Did you ever knowa home that for oO years had no vicisIsitude? The young woman who left herfather's house for her young husband'shome started out with a parental benedictionand good advice she will never

forget. Her mother said to her the daybefore the marriage: "Now, my child,you are going away from us. Of course,as Ion# as your father and I live youwill feel that you can come to us at anytime. But your home will be elsewhere.From long experience I find it is best toserve God. It is very bright with younow, my child, and you may think youcan get- along without religion, but theday will come when you will wantGod, and my advice is, establish a familyaltar, and, if need be, conduct theworship yourself." The counsel was

taken, and that young wife consecratedevery room m tne nouse to uoa.

Years passed on and there were inthat home hilarities, but they were goodand healthful, and sorrows, but theywere comforted. Marriages as bright as

orange blossoms could make them, andburials in which all hearts were riven.They have a family lot in the cemetery,but all the place is illuminated withstories of resurrection and reunion. Thechildren of the household that livedhave grown up, and they are all Christians,the father and mother leading theway and the children following. Whatcare the mother took of wardrobe andeducation, character and manners! Howhard she sometimes worked! When thehead of the household was unfortunatein business, she sewed until her fingerswere numb and bleeding at the tips.And what close calculation of economiesand what ingenuity in refitting the garmentsof the elder children for theyounger, and only God kept account ofthat mother's sideaches and headachesand heartaches and the tremulous prayersby the side of the sick child's cradleand by the couch of this one fullygrown. The neighbors often noticedhow tired she looked, and old acquaintanceshardlv knew her in the street. Butwithout complaint she waited and toiledand endured and accomplished allthese years. The children are out in theworld.an honor to themselves and theirparents. After awhile the mother's lastsickness comes. Children and grandchildren,summoned from afar, come softlyinto the room one by one, for she if tooweak to see more than one at a time.She runs her, dying _fisgera lovingly

through their hair and tolls them not" tocry, and that she is going now, hut theywill meet again in a little while in a

better world, and then kisses themgoodby and says to each, "God blessand keep you, my dear child. " The dayof the obsequies comes, and the officiatingclergyman tells the story of wifelyiuid motherly endurance, and manyhearts on earth and in heaven echo thesentiment, and as she is carried off thestage of this mortal life there are criesof "Faithful unto death," "Sho hathdone-what she could," while overpow-ering all the voices of earth and heavenis the plaudit of the God who watchedher from first to last, saying, "Welldone, good and faithful servant; thouhast been faithful over a few things, Iwill make thee ruler over many things;enter thou into the joy of thy Lord!"

The Choice.But what became of the father of that

household? He started as a young man

in business and had a small incomo, andhaving got a little ahead sickness in4-1%/% etr'Orvf 4 f oil fttrflXT Ro TVAD t.tiiV onv^i JV (MA i«i> i«j . AAV ff v.**

through all the business panics of 40years, met many losses, and sufferedmany betrayals, but kept right on trust-ing in God, whether .business was goodor poor, setting his children a good ex-

ample, and giving them the best ofcounsel, and never a prayer did he offerfor all those years but they were men-

tioned in it. He is old now and realizesit cannot be long before he must quitall these scenes. But he is going toleave his children an inheritance ofprayer and Christian principles whichall the defalcations of earth can never

touch,.and as he goes out of the worldthe church of God blesses him and thepoor ring his doorbell to see if he is anybetter, and his grave is surrounded bya multitude who went on foot and stoodthere before the procession of carriagescame up, and some say, "There will beno one to take his place," and otherssay, "Who will pity me now?" and othersremark, "He shall be held in everlastingTcmeinbrance.'' And as thedrama of his life closes, all the vociferationand bravos and encores that ever

shook the amphitheaters of earthly spectaclewere tame and feeble comparedwith the long, loud thunders of approvalthat shall break from the cloud of wit-nesses in the piled up gallery of theheavens. Choose ye between the life that

shall close by being hissed off the stageand the life that shall close amid ac-

clamations supernal and archangel ic.Oh, men and women on the stage of

life, many of you in the first act of thedrama, and others in tho second, andsome of you in tho third, and a few intho fourth, and here and there one inthe fifth, but all of you between entranceand exit, I quote to you as theperoration of this sermon the most suggestivepassage that Shakespeare ever

wrote, although you never heard it recited.The author has often beenclaimed as infidel and atheistic, so thequotation shall be not only religiouslyhelDful to ourselves, but grandly vindi-catory of the great dramatist. I quotefrom his last will arid testament:

"In the name of God, Amen. I, WilliamShakespeare of Stratford-uponAvon,in the county of Warwick, gentleman,in perfect health and memory(God be praised), do make this my lastwill and testament, in manner and formfollowing: First, I commend my soulinto the hands of God, my Creator, hopingand assuredly believing through thoonly merits of Jesus Christ, my Saviour,to be made partaker of life everlast-ing."

Forced the Artist to Work.

The famous Japanese painter, Kyosai,worked only when he was in the mood,and the most munificent offers failed toinduce hhn to accept a commission unlessthe spirit moved him. One of hisadmirers, Mr. Kato Shoyo of Hongo,had vainly attempted to induce the waywardartist to begin a painting for him.Kyosai would not budge. Kato there- jupon devised and put into execution anovel plan. He bought a spurious Kake-mono, or "hanging picture." Whennext tho artist paid him a visit, thiswas produced and lauded to the skies,Kato declared that the daub was thegreatest masterpiece of Kyosai's skillfulhands. In vain the indignant painterprotested that it was a worthless coun-

terfeifc. Finally he rushed away in a

rage, while Kato rubbed his hands atthe success of his ruse.

Confident of the result, Kato invitedcrvmp friomls for thfi follmvins? evenint?and related to them the device he was

employing. They waited for the adventof Kyosai, and at last, hut not until thesmall hours of the morning, he appeared.He held a roll in his hand, a Kakemono,on which was depicted a falconin the act of clutching a monkey. Thishe threw toward the host, at the sametime asking in an angry voice whetherKato still persisted in attributing theother picture to him. The collector, delightedwith the success of his plan andwith the vigor and beauty of the drawinghe had now obtained, apologized to

Kyosai and explained the trick. Thepainter's brow was quickly cleared ofits dark clouds, and in turn he confessedthat he had been working day and nightin order to produce a picture that shouldvindicate his talents. . ManchesterGuardian.
