OU'TLINg OF SERVICES The following serrriepi 'was preapiicd at th,e`funeral services of Mrs LidaGib- son, (daughter of 1)r Worthington, .Clin- ton,) held at the Congregational church Alma, Mich., Feb. 21, 1888, conducted by the pastor, Rev.

There is but one of two sources to whia•h we must trace the events of this life, and which- must throw light upon the great problem of existence. The one, the of blind grace, the other that of intelligent cause. If we accept the first our existence must remain a ,icklle. As everything is left to unintelligent force there can be no benevolent design, for blind force knows nothing of virtue or vice, of right or wrong, or of good or ill. Indeed, this supposed cause sends us all adrift upon a wide turbulent sea, without chart or compass, with no ob- jective continent or haven. This view, instead of solving the mystery, only complicates it, instead of removing the darkness, only deepens it. Taking this view 9f existence life becomes simply a , tantalizing dream, froni which we wake to sleep and dream again. With all our hopes and fears, with all our joys and sorrows, with all our smiles and tears, would life be worth living, with nothing to interpret our experiences or answer to the higher instincts of the soul ? From such a view we turn away. ' Conscience,, reason and every nqble sen- timent rebels against it. In every soul there is a crying out for something that shall answer its profoundest thoughts and supply its deepest needs,. which this scheme, so cold and aesthetic, can- not answer to. There remains only cause, and that is intelligent and be- nevolent. We experience a wonderful relief, as wo turn away from the work-" ings of mere force, from the sad and ever disappointing dream of a meaning- less world, with its painful mysteries and its hopeless termination, to a be- nevolent cause. Here we have revealed, 1, An intelligent Creator and Father. This is the great central truth. It is that around which all else gathers. It is the sea towards which all streams flow, and that from which all streams are supplied. An ocean that laves every continent, a central sun that has ' its grasp upon all the spheres. Go where you will, find any path with its foot prints, and it leads to this fixed eternal centre. There is not a spot where his light does not fall, not.a heart where his presence is not felt, and as the light of the sun reaches the most distant object, and is reflected from every orb, so this central truth is reflect- ed in every soul in the universe. 2nd. This truth reveals the rectitude of all that transpires under the divine guid- ance. In it we read that what he does must be just and good. What if we .do not understand them? What if, when viewed by themselves, they are enigmas the most painful and trying ? To Him they are not strange nor unkind. Can God, our Infinite 'Father, be unkind? Is there any hate or revenge. in Him ? Such . a thought cannot for a moment be indulged. All his ways toward us stand 'connected with that end, toward which all are moving—the highest good. • I know we dread the storm that twists the oak, or bows the pine, and scatters many. of our blessings, but the air is • purer, and the fields are •richer for its coming. The discipline. of our early years was not to our liking. The re- straints and denials, the blighting of our childishdreams and fancies, and opposition to our plans, all seemed strange, and even unkind and cruel, but as we grew up to years, and came to have .a broader horizon, we saw ,and felt that all these strange dealings with us were wise and good. And we won• . der why we did not see these things before, and were ready to confess that love had been in them all. And• thus, it will be as we grow up into that di., vine, manhood, and see more clearly the end of. all our sad and painful experi- ences. David was able to say, " It was good for me,that I was afflicted.!' The Divine ,Matter has left the comforting words, "What I do thou knoweet, not now,• but thou shalt know hereafter." iso ow as 'this assurance as good: n And g . . • when it was first given.,The dark mists will roll away, the sallows will disappear, and all will be made plain. But light is not far from any one of us, even now, nor heaven, nor the angels, • nor the spirits of the just made perfect. There is a photosphere invoicing us, in which the unseen li is. God can inter- pret these things to us even now, in so far as is for our comfort and faith. We need to keep in thought the immilience of spiritual realities and joys. We should, connect the unseen with our- selves. We should feel that we are in- timately associated with the heavenly world, and not view it as far away. We speak of the spirit world as farther on and beyond. Let us remember that we are in the spirit world now, and that only a thin mist or unit separates us from those who have passed on before. You look away to that highway of stars that stretches like a luminous belt across the heavens, and think how glo- rious it would be to move among those clustering orbs. • You do not realize you are moving among them, and form part of them. And so is the heavOnly world all about you, while you may be think- ing of it as far away. It will give new interest, and afford a new occasion for joy to recognize this truth. 8rd. It is from these sources our comforts must be drawn. • God's love and imminence, the considerateness of his sympathy, and the assurance of his sanctifying hand aro with us. To feel ever that his band of disciplineis guided by love, that of all this world sorrows and. heawrtf aches there is to come, the everlasting joy is burs.

Y., was astonished at a most singular sight in the street in front of the store. A large wagon drawn by a horse and an ox had halt- ed there, and clustered about the ve- hicle were twenty-four children—all boys. In the wagonwas the mother, who explained to the astonished storekeeper that --the. ittere._uu._.their- way from Connecticut to Indiana,and were having a family moving. "Is this your family?" asked the merchant. "Yes," answered the man; twenty- four boys, twelve sets of twins, and we have no children dead. At night what can't get into the wagon bunk under it on the ground. ' We are all here, stranger." The merchant was so pleased at the sight that he formed the boys into line and ,presented each one with a straw hat.—Harrisburg Telegraph. NEWS N .

GIFTS OF POISON. It is time that respectable merchants combined with consumers forthe suppression of all gift, prize and lottery schemes in connection with the sale of articles of merchandise. These schemes are not only demoral- izing to legitimate business and to the morals of the community, but in the extent in which they are being car- ried in the sale -of articles of food have become a source of great danger to the public health. They are, no matter in;' what form they .appear, nothing more or less than devices to swindle honest and unsuspecting. people. It is gratifying to learn th'at in some instances the officers of the law have taken hold cf the matter. In New York, and also in Chicago, parties who in this way offered gifts to pur- chasers of their packages have recent- ly been arrested upon indictments for lottery swindling. The latest candi- dates, both for public . execration and criminal prosecution. are the manu- facturers of the alum baking powders, who are both, by means of gifts and lottery tickets, disposing of • large quantities of their corrosively poison- ous compounds, which. are so well known to be detrimental to health that no housekeeper will admit them to her kitchen knowingly: This form of swindle is not only being peddled from house to house, but under the promise of large profits to be realized, the manufacturers are entrenching themselves behind the counters of many grocers by getting them to of- fer the alum goods with the gifts or lottery tickets attacbed,thereby shift- ing the liability to prosecution, in part, upon other, and perhaps inno- cent parties. Every grocer or dealer, for instance, who seles or offers for sale any of the prize or lottery baking powders is a criminal in the eye of the law, and liable, upon Conviction, to fine and imprisonment, while those who sell the gift goods are,morally,as responsible, for they are offering an inducement,prize,to housekeepers to use a fooor that containsP a corrosive poison. This is a predicament in which it is not possible our grocers will. care to -place themselves when they come to think seriously of the matter. It must be borne in mind that every one of these gifts of prize baking powders are alum baking powders. These powders cost less than tour cents a pound to produce; the gift or prize costs but a few cents more, They are sold at the price of a first- class baking i eider, so that the swindle, in a Commercial sense, is enormous. But the chief iniquity of the business consists in selling,as pre- sumably wholesome, an article of a positively injurious character, and by means of gilts or bribes inducing ser- vants or unsuspecting housekeepers to purchase and use it. in our daily food. There should be some prompt :method of reaching these dangerous practices and punishil)g the parties engaged in their promotion. i'l'the , present laws are not ample, we com- mend the matter to the consideration of our State Board of Health for re- comnfendatirinof such additional legitl>ttioif as !Mill be effective for the protection of'the public.

Only a small amount of mo- ney was on hand and two or three registered letters. Two suspicious looking stranger., were noticed around the day before. Some one has been collecting facts about the fathers of United States Presidents, with this result: Grover Cleaveland is the only clergyman's son who has ever been elected Presi- dent, though Arthur's father was a clergyman. He was not, however, elected President. The fathers of the Virginia Presidents—Washing- ton, Jefferson, Madison and Monroe —were planters, John Tyler's father was a lawyer and a statesman, and John:Adams,the father of Jhon Quin- cy Adams, was by profession a law- yer. Grant's father was a tanner, Hayes' father a merchant, and the fathers of Garfield, Lincoln, Pierce, Fillmore, Polk, Van Buren and Jack- son were farmers. When the present government in- troduced their high taxation policy they declared that it would increase trade with the England and cut off trade with the United States. It has had a directly contrary effect. Not- withstanding artificial tariff obstruc- tions Canada's commerce with the. United States has been steadily ex• pending, while our trade with Eng - tend is now smaller than it was many years ago. And the decline in our trade with the mother country contin- ues, although Great Britain admits all our products free. The British board of trade returns for March show a decrease of 21 per cent in value of exports from the United Kingdom to Canada, as compared with .the same month of 1887. The importslrom Ca- nada into the United Kingdom for the first three months of 1888 show a de- crease of 37 per cent compared with the same months of last year. This heavy decline in our trade with Eng- land must have a serious effects upon the Dominion revenue. • Some months ago Sylvester Dob- byn, a farmer living near Shetland, accepted the agency for iron pumps from a srnootbe-tongued agent, who in a few days brought a dozen—one to be used in the farmer's well as an advertisement, and the rest to . be ready for any sale he might make. Next came the "agreement," which was signed by Dobbyn, binding him- self to purchase all the pumps from this firm. About two weeks ago the farmer received notice that the note of $550 against him was about due, and for him to make arrangements —this being the agreement he thought he signed. The result is that the farm has been sold at a con- siderable sacrifice, the husband and family separated, while just creditors wait be compelled to wa t a consider- able time for their money, if they ever get it, as Dobbyn has fled to Uncle Sam's domain.

Dr. Mayhew, of New Bedford, Mass., says : " Having prescribed many thou- sands of 'Ayer's Pills, in my practice, I can unhesitatingly pronounce them the best cathartic in use." The Massachusetts State Assayer, Dr, A. A. Hayes, certifies : " I have made a careful analysis of Ayer's Pills, They contain the active principles of well- known drugs, isolated from inert mat- ter, which ti,lan is, chemically speaking, of great importance to their usefulness.
