Slaye From Boylioofl. (Fiom the Ked Wing, Minn., Retatolioan.) "I am now twenty-four years old, Bald Edward Swanson. of "White Rock. Goodhue County. Minn., to a Republican representative, "and as you can see I m ot very large of stature. When I was eleven years old I became afflicted with a sickness which baffled the skill and knowledge of the physician. I was not taken suddenly ill but on the con trary I can hardly state the exact time when It began. The first symptoms were pains in my back and restless nights. The disease did not trouble me much, at first, but it: seemed to have settled in my body to stay and my bitter experience during the last thirteen years proved that to be the case. I was of course a child and never dreamed of the sufferings in store for me. I complained to my parents and they concluded that In time I would outgrow my trouble, but when they heard me groaning during my sleep they became thoroughly alarmed. Medical advice was sought but to no avail, I grew rapidly worse and was soon unable to move about and finally became confined continually to my bed. The best doctors that could be had were consulted, but did nothing for xne. I tried various kinds of extensively advertised patent medicines with but the same result. "For twelve long years I was thus a sufferer in .constant agony without re spite, abscesses form?ti on my body in rapid succession and the world indeed looked very dark to me. About this time when all hope was gone and noth ing seemed left but to resign myself to my most bitter fate my attention was called to Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People. Like a drowning man grasping at a straw. In sheer despera tion I concluded to make one more at tempt not to regain my health (I dare not to hope so much) but if possible to ease my pain. I bought a box of the pills and they seemed to do me good. I felt encour aged and continued their use. After taking six boxes I was up and able to walk around the house. I have not felt so well for thirteen years as during the past year. Only one year have I taken Dr. Williams' Pink Pills and I am able now to do chores and attend to light duties. "Do I hesitate to let you publish what I have said? No. Why should I? It is the truth and I am only too glad to let other sufferers know my experience. It may help those whose cup of misery is as full to-day as mine was in the past." Dr. Williams' Pink Pills contain, in a condensed form, all the elements neces sary to give new life and richness to the blood and restore shattered nerves. They build up the blood, and restore the glow of health to pale and sallow cheeks. Pink Pills are sold in boxes (never in loose bulk) at 50 cents a box or six boxes for $2.50, and may be had of all drug gists, or direct by mail from Dr. Wil liams' Medicine Company, Schenectady, N.

Taking1 advantage of a custom of the time, he invited iandy to take his meridian with him in a "change house" near the Cross. Over the wine he gave a long account of his ailments, to which Wood listened in grim silence. At last he rvt the direct question: "Doctor, whso you think I should tak'? tTak!" exclaimed Sandy, "why, if ye're as ill as ye say, I think ye should take medical udvice." The LatMt Sensation.

Psalms 4 I 8 A Wonderful Camera, EW YORK, July 28. 1895. Rev. Dr. Tal mage, who Is still absent on his sum mer preaching tour In the West and Southwest, has pre pared for to-day a vf$v CStr9 1 ermon on "The V 9 7 All-Seeing." the text VW: selected being Psalm 04:9. "He that formed the eye, shall he not see?" The Imperial organ of the human sys tem Is the eye. All up and down the Bible God honors It, extols It, Illustrates It, or arraigns it. Five hundred and thirty-four times it is mentioned in the Bible. Omnipresence "the eyes of the Lord are In every place." Divine care "as the apple of the eye." The clouds "the eyelids of the morning." Irrever ence "the eye that mocketh at its father." Pride "Oh. how lofty are their eyes!" Inattention "the fool's eye in the ends of the earth." Divine Inspec tion "wheels full of eyes." Sudden ness "in the twinkling of an eye at the last trump." Olivetic sermon "the light of the body Is the eye." This morning's text "He that formed the eye, shall he not see?" The surgeons, the doctors, the anatomists and the physiologists understand much of the glories of the two great lights of the human face; but the vast multitudes go on from cradle to grave without any appreciation of the two great master pieces of the Lord God Almighty. If God had lacked anything of infinite wisdom, he would have failed in creat ing the human eye. We wander through the earth trying to see wonderful sights, but the most wonderful sight that we ever see Is not so wonderful as the Instruments through which we see It. It has been a strange thing to me for forty years that some scientist, with enough eloquence and magnetism, did not go through the country with il lustrated lectures on canvas thirty feet square, to startle, and thrill, and over whelm Christendom with the marvels of the human e3e. We want the eye taken from all its technicalities, and some one who shall lay aside all talk about the pterygomaxlllary fissures, and the sclerotica, and the chiasma of the optic nerve, and in common par lance, which you and I and everybody can understand, present the subject. We have learned men who have been telling us what our origin is and what we were. Oh! If some one should come forth from the dissecting-table and from the class-room of the university and take the platform, and. asking the help of the Creator, demonstrate the won ders of what we are! If I refer to the physiological facts suggested by the former part of my text, It is only to bring out In a plainer way the theological lessons of the lat ter part of my text, "He that formed the eye. shall he not see?" I suppose my text referred to the human eye, 6lnce It excels all others in structure and in adaptation. The eyes of fish, and reptiles, and moles, and bats, are very simple things, because they have not much to do. There are insects with a hundred eyes, but the hundred eyes have less faculty than the human eyes. The black beetle swimming the sum mer pond has two eyes under water and two eyes above the water, but the four lnsectlle are not equal to the two human. Man, placed at the head of all living creatures, must have supreme equipment, while the blind fish in the Mammoth Cave of Kentucky have only an undeveloped organ of sight, an apology for the ej-e, which, if through some crevice of the mountain they ehould get into the sunlight, might be developed into positive eyesight. In the first chapter of Genesis we find that God, without any consultation, created the light, created the trees, created the fish, created the fowl, but when he was about to make man he called a conven tion of Divinity, as though to imply tbet all the powers of Godhead were to be enlisted in the achievement. "Let us make man." Put a whole ton of em phasis on that word "us." "Let us make man." And If God called a convention of Divinity to create man. I think the two great questions in that conference were how to create a soul and how to make an appropriate window for that emperor to look out of. See how God honored the eye before he created It. He cried, until chaos was Irradiated with the utterance, "Let there be light!" In other words, before he introduced man Into this temple of the world he illuminated it, prepared it for the eyesight. And so. after the last human eye has been destroyed in the final demolition of the world, stars are to fall, and the sun is to cease Its shin ing, and the moon is to turn into blood. In other words, after the human eyes are no more to be profited by their shin ing, the chandeliers of heaven are to be turned out. God, to educate and to bless and to help the human eye, set In the mantel of heaven two lamps a gold lamp and a silver lamp the one for the day and the other for the idght. To show how God honors the eye, look at the two halls built for the residence of the eyes, seven bones making the wall for each eye, the seven bones curi ously wrought together. Kingly pclace of ivory Is considered rich, but the halls for the residence of the hunan eye are richer by a much as hujnan bone Is more sacred than elephantine tusk. See how God honored the rfyes when he made a roof for them, so what the sweat of toil should not smart them; and the rain dashing against the forehead should not drip into them; the eyebrows not bending over the eye, but reaching to the right and to the left, so that the rain and the sweat should he compelled to drop upon the cheek, instead of falling into this divinely protected human eyesight. See how God honored the eye in the fact , presented by anatomists and physiolo-! gists that there are eight hundred con trivances in every eye. For window shutters, the eyelids opening and clos ing thirty thousand times a day. The eyelashes so constructed that they have their selection as to what shall be ad mitted, ttaylng to the dust, "Stay out," , and saying to the light. "Come in." ! For inside curtains the iris, or pupil of the eye, (according as the light Is greater ' or less, contracting or dilating. The eye of the owl Is blind In the daytime, the eyes of some creatures are blind at night, but the human eye so marvel ously constructed can see both by day and by night. Many of the other crea tures of God can move the eye only from side to side, but the human eye so marvelously constructed has one mus cle to lift the eye, and another muscle to lower the eye, and another muscle to roll It to the right, and another mus cle to roll It to the left, and another muscle passing through a pulley to turn It round and round an elaborate gear ing of six muscles as perfect as God could make them. There also Is the retina, gathering the rays of light and passing the visual Impression along the optic nerve, about the thickness of the lampwlck passing the visual im pression on to the sensorium, and on Into the soul. What a delicate lens, what an exquisite screen, what soft cushions, what wonderful chemistry of the human eye! The eye washed by a slow stream of moisture whether we sleep or wake, rolling imperceptibly over the pebble of the eye and emptying Into a bone of the nostril. A contrivance so wonderful that it can see the sun, ninety-five million miles away, and the point of a pin. Telescope and micro scope In the same contrivance. The as tronomer swings and moves this was and that, and adjusts and readjusts the telescope until he gets it to the right focus; the mlcroscopist moves this way and that, and adjusts and readjusts the magnifying glass until It is prepared to do its work; but the human eye, without a touch, beholds the star and the smallest Insect. The traveler among the Alps, with one glance taking in Mont Blanc and the face of his watch to see whether he has time to climb it. Oh! this wonderful camera obscura which you and I carry about with us, so to-day we can take in our friends, so from the top of Mount Washington we can take in New England, so at night we can sweep into our vision the con stellations from horizon to horizon. So delicate, so semi-infinite, and yet the light coming ninety-five millions of miles at the rate of two hundred thou sand miles a second is obliged to halt at the gate of the eye. waiting for ad mission until the portcullis be lifted. Something hurled ninety-five millions of miles and striking an instrument which has not the agitation of even winking under the power of the stroke. There, also, is the merciful arrangement of the tear gland, by which the eye is washed and from which rolls cne tide which brings the relief which comes in tears when some bereavement or great loss strikes us. The tear not an augmenta tion of sorrow, but the breaking up of the Arctic of frozen grief in the warm gulf stream of consolation. Incapacity to weep is madness or death. Thank God for the tear glands, and that the crystal gates are so easily opened. Oh! the wonderful hydraulic apparatus of the human eye! Divinely constructed vision! Two light-houses at the harbor of the immortal soul, under the shining of which the world sails In and drops anchor. What an anthem of praise to God is the human eye. The tongue is speechless and a clumsy instrument of expression as compared with It. Have you not seen It flash with indignation or kindle with enthusiasm, or expand with devotion, or melt with sympathy, or stare with fright, or leer with vil lainy, or droop with sadness, or pale with envy, or fire with revenge, or twin kle with mirth, or beam witn love? It is tragedy and comedy, pastoral and lyric In turn. Have you not seen Its up lifted brow of surprise, or its frown of wrath, or its contraction of pain? If the eye say one thing and the lips say another thing, you believe the eye rather than the lips. The eyes of Archibald Alexander and Charles G. Finney were the mightiest part of their sermons. George Whitefield enthralled great as semblages with his eyes, though they were crippled with strabismus. Many a military chieftain has with a look hurled a regiment to victory or to death. Mar tin Luther turned his great eye on an as sassin who came to take his life, and the villain fled. Under the glance of the human eye, the tiger, with five times a man's strength, snarls back into the African Jungle. But those best appreci ate the value of the eye who have lost It. The Emperor Adrian by accident put out the eye of his servant, and he said to his servant: "What shall I pay you in. money or in lands? Anything you ask me. I am sorry I put your eye out." But the servant refused to put any financial estimate on the value of the eye, and when the Emperor urged and urged again the matter, he said: "Oh, Emperor, I want nothing but my lost eye." Alas for those for whom a thick and impenetrable vail Is drawn across the face of the heavens and the faces of one's own kindred. That was a pathetic scene when a blind man lighted a torch at night and was found passing along the highway, and some one said: "Why do you carry that torch, when you can't see?" "Ah." said he. "I can't 6ee, but I carry this torch that others may see me and pity my helplessness and not run me down." Samson, the giant, with his eyes put out by the Philistines, is more helplesa than the imallest dwarf with vision undamaged. All the sympath ies of Christ were stir red when he saw Bartimeus with dark ened retina, and the only salve he ever made that we read of was a mixture o! dust and saliva and a prayer, with which he cured the eyes of a man blind from his nativity. The value of the eye is shown as much by Its catastrophe as by its healthful action. Ask the man who for twenty years has not seen the sun rise. Ask the man who for half a century has not seen the face of a friend. As in the hospital the victim of ophthalmia. Ask the man whose eye sight perished in a powderblast. Ask the Bartimeus who never met a Christ, or the man born blind who is to die blind. Ask him. This morning, In my imper fect way, I have only hinted at the splendors, the glories, the wonders, the divine revelations, the apocalypses of the human eye, and I stagger back from the awful portals of the physiological miracle which must have taxed the in genuity of God, to cry out in your ears the words of my text, "He that formeth the eye, shall he not see?" Shall Her scope? Shall Fraunhofer not know as much as his spectroscope? Shall Swam merdan not know as much as his mi croscope? Shall Dr. HooKe not know as much as his micrometer? Shall the thing formed know more than Its mas ter? "He that formeth the eye, shall he not see?" e e e e e e It passes out from the guess into the positive when we are told in the Bible that the Inhabitants of other worlds do come as convoy to this. Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minis ter to those who shall be heirs of salva tion? But human inspection and angelio inspection and stellar Inspection and lunar Inspection and solar Inspection are tame compared with the thought of divine inspection. "You converted me twenty years ago," said a black man to my father. "How so?" said my father. "Twenty years ago," said the other, "in the old school-house prayer meeting at Bound Brook you said in your prayer, 'Thou, God, seest me,' and I had no peace under the eye of God until I be came a Christian." Hear it: "The eyes of the Lord are in every place." "His eyelids try the children of men." "His eyes were as a flame of fire." "I will guide thee with mine eye." Oh! the eye of God, so full of pity, so full of power, so full of love, so full of indignation, so full of compassion, so full of mercy! How it peers through the dark" ss! How it outshines the day! How it fe-ires upon the offender! How it beams upon the penitent soul! Talk about the hu man eye being indescribably wonderful how much more wonderful the great, searching, overwhelming eye of God? All eternity past and all eternity to come on that retina! But you say, "God Is In one world and I am In another world; he seems so far off from me; I don't really think he sees what Is going on In my life." Can you see the sun ninety-five millions of miles away, and do you not think God has as prolonged vision? But you say, "There are phases of my life, and there are colors, shades of color, in my annoy ances and my vexations that I don't think God can understand." Does not God gather up all the colors and all the shades of color in the rainbow? And do you suppose there is any phase or any shade In your life that he has not gath ered up in his own heart? Besides that, I want to tell you that it will all soon be over, this struggle. That eye of yours, so exquisitely fashioned and strung, and hinged and roofed, will be fore long be closed in the last slumber. Loving hands will smooth down the silken fringes. So he giveth his beloved sleep. A legend of St. Frotobert Is that his mother was blind, and he was so sorely pitiful for the misfortune that one day in sympathy he kissed her eyes, and by miracle she saw everything. But it is not a legend when I tell you that all the blind eyes of the Christian dad under the kiss of the resurrection morn shall gloriously open. Oh! what a day that will be for those who went groping through this world under perpetual ob scuration, or were dependent on the hand of a friend, or with an uncertain staff felt their way; and for the aged, of dim sight, about whom it may be said L that "they which look out of the win dows are darkened," when eternal day break comes In. What a beautiful epi taph that was for a tombstone in a Eu ropean cemetery: "Here reposes in Cod, Katrina, a saint, eighty-five years of age and blind. The light was restored to her Hay 10th, 1840."
