The tear -drop fell on each wrinkled

HUMBUG e ALL
To the Editor ol'the Clinton .New Era.
DEAR SIR —A letter appeared in
the Toronto Weekly Globe, some time
ago, signed by a minister, condemn-
ing the methods used in the churches
for raising money, and wondering
whether the ministers or people are
to blame. One strong evidence that
these worldly entertainments is wrong
is that the devil puts;no hindrance in
their way. The revival and prayer
meeting he opposes with all his
(night. If he can get himself honor
in the house of God, it pleases him
better than the old time dance, or
the whiskey renown revelry of the
early days of thesetttlement. Money
raised in such a way has got too
much of the ring of 'fiddler's change
about it to be of much use, either to
God or titan. If continued in, it will
soon be impossible to raise money in
the old way, even for the use of a
Sunday School. Ministers, to a great
extent, are to blame for this state of
affairs. The call for Sampson, by the
Philistines, to make them sport, is
reechoed to -day, and responded to
Seldom indeed does the spiritual life
rise higher than that of the minister.
Like priest like people. The whole
of the 23rd chapter of Jeremiah shows
the influence ministers have; the
22nd verse reads " Ifthey had stood
in my counsel, and caused my people
to hear my words, then they should
have turned from their evil ways and
from the evil of their doings." In
the 32nd verse, we see how God is
against the prophets that causeth the
people to err by their lies, and light-
ness with regard to the people. Bar-
num, the great showman, has said
people liked to be humbugged,,and
the people say that Barnum is a hum-
bug. One horse 'and waggon, I sup-
pose, would have served him on the
start, but his business grew to a great
street procession, which (filled quite a
number of cars; the result of dili-
gence. Barnum, in his younger days,
must have belonged to some of our
denominational churches, where be
]earned the plan of managing bis
show to draw the biggest crowd. It
is said that he tried to engage a cele-
brated preacher to lecture for him, to
draw the religious people who did not
care about jumbo or the circus. There
was this' about Barnum, if men did
not go to his show, he did not fret
and scold about it year in and year
out.^ He' kept.on getting something
new. His frauds and humbugs he
generally got in his own town or next
village. That gorilla that }soared so
hideously as. to scare the people with
his roaring, was only a human being
after all, and was drawing a nice
round salary for the way in which he
roared. The red savage of the forest.
which ,seemed so brave, was only a
white man, and if put to the test
would be as big a coward as any other
man. The bear, at sight of which
the little folk used -to cling to their
mothers, for fear he would come out
of his cage and drag them to his den,
was a tame bear. ANTI-IIuMnca.
1 fO1•'ITABLI? ('ARMING.
Galen Wilson gives the New
York Tribune the following ac,
count of seventeen years of labor
ny a farmer on a 160 -acre farm
and the result :— When we took
possession, buildings and fences
were dilapitaded, and as a matter
of course weeds had almost full
control. His first step was to
prevent any further seeding by
weeds. Foncerows were cleared
of bushes and briars, and these,
together with the roadsides, mar-
gins, fruit yard, orchard and pas-
tures, were mowed three times
each season; dodos, burdocks,
daisies and some other foul wends
growing in grain were dug up and
destroyed; corn, and potatoes were
hoed by hand three times. All
was done so thoroughly that no
weeds were allowed to mature.
Manure was not applied to the
(tod until it had been well com-
posted and the weed seeds decom-
posed. The second :•ea,on the
roatl,idcs, ii'n('e c'Orllers anti i)are
spots in meadow and N181111'e were
sceded with grass and elovof'.
This funnier was so persistent in
his ('rnsade against weeds that one

terminated by plowing; several
times and raking out the roots
each timo. Leaves'aro the lungs
of plants and if these are not al.
lowed to grow the roots will de-•
cay; hence, a constant onslaught
was kept up as they showed above
ground. low did it 'pay?' He
raised largely-incroased crops and
sold all he raised for seed, because
clean, at an average advance of 10
per tent. lie paid $5,600 for the
farm, running in debt for half' the
amount, newly fenced it, made
over a mile of open and covered
ditches, repaired the house equal
to building anew, built a large
barn, a carriage house and other
outhouses,raisod a family of eight
children, paid the balance of the
purchase price, and at the end of
seventeen years sold out for 118,-
000. This never could have boon
done by 'slip -;hod' farming. Ho
had no high prices for produce to
aid him, for all this happened just
before the war. Tho farm was
three miles from town, and sold
for farm purposes only.
No woman can be contented and hap.
py if her skin is covered with pimples
and blotches. These disfiguring erup-
tions are easily removed by the use of
Ayer's Sarsaparilla. This medicine is
perfectly safe to take, and is a thorough-
ly reliable blood purifier.

Pullman fest Train
It is universally conceded that, not•
withstanding the advent of old and new 1
lines into the field of competition for
passenger traffic between Chicago, Mil-
etaukee, St. Pani and Minneapolis, the
Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul railway I
maintains its pre-eminent position as
the leading line, and carries the greater
portion of the business between these
points. It is not hard to account. for
this, when we consider that it was the
first in the field, and gained its popular-
ity by long years of first-class service.
It has kept up to the tithes by adopting
all modern improvements in equipment
and methods, the latest being comnlete
PullmanVestibuledtrains running d tidy
between Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Pall
and Minneapolis, and its route leis;
along the banks of the Mississippi,
through the finest farming country, the
most populous and prosperous towns
and villages, it offers to its patrons the
very best service their money can buy.
Its dining cars are celebrated through•
out the length and breadth of the land
as being the finest in the world. Its
sleeping cars are the best belonging to
the Pullman company, being marvels of
elegance, comfort and luxury; its day
coaches are the best made, and its em•
ployees, by long -continued service in
their respective capacities, are experts,
courteous and accommodating to all.
It is not at all strange, therefore, that
an intelligent and discriminating tra-
velling public should almost exclusively
patronize this great railway, with its
separate through lines running between
Chicago, Milwaukee, 5t, Paul and Min-
neapolis; Chicago, Council Bluffs and
Omaha; Chicago, Kansas City, and St.

be disputed. The regular method of treat-

keeping the delicate membrane in a con-
stant state of rratien, allowing it no than-

and formulated his new treaty ant, and
since then his remedy has become a house-

up everywhere, pretending to destroy a
parasite, of which they know nothing, by
remedies, the results of the application of
which they are equally ignorant. Mr. Dix-
on's remedy is applied only once in two
weeks and from one to three applications
effect a permanent cure in the moat aggra-

wear ago when she began to complain of
fatigue, headache, debility, dizziness,
