arid How to Combat Them
A despatch front Washington says;
—Rev. Dr. Talmage pseached front
the following text; --Proverbs
35: "When shall I awake? I will seek
it yet again.''
With an insight into human nature
such, as no other man ever liad, Sol-
omon in sliese words is sketching the
moutat processes Of a man who has
Stepped aside froni the path of recti-
tude and would like to return. Wish-
ing for something better he says:
"When shall X awake? When shall
• get over this horrible, nightmare of
iniquity?" But seized upon by une-
radicated appetite and pushed down
hill by his passions he cries out:
"1 will seek it yet again. I will try
it yet once more."
About a mile from Prioceton, N.
J., there is a skating pond. One
Winter day, when the ice was very
thin, .a farmer living near by warned
the young men of the danger of skat-
ing at that time. They all took the
noir/ling except one young man. He
in the spirit of bravado said, "Boys,
one round more." He struck out on
his skates, the ice broke, and his
lifeless body was brought up. And
in all matters of temptation and al-
lurement it is not a prolongation 1
that is proposed, but only just one
more indulgence.. just one more sin.
Then comes the fatality. Alas for the
one round more! "I" will seek it yet
ugain."
OUR LIBRARIES
Are adorned with elegant literature
addressed to young- men, pointing out
to them all the dangers and perils of
dife. Complete map of the voyage of
life—the shoals, the rocks, the quick-
sands. But suppose a young man is
already shipwrecked, suppose he is al-
ready off the track, suppose he has
already gone astray—how can he be
got back? That is a guestion that
remains unanswered, and amid all
the books of the libraries I find not
one word on that subject. To that
class of pet -sous 1 this day address
myself. •

Whon Signor Crispi, an. old man of

whole world by his extraordinary, re-

were put. forth to account for the
phenomenon which, after all, accord-

simple .one. To great natural vigor
of body was added a We of absolute
sobriety and regul arity. Whether
this obstioence was natural to him
is not known., but it is certain that
through years of great poverty it
became second nature.

THEY ARE KING EDWARD'S'
CHIEF ANERsioN.
,The Crowli'Phince of Norway and
Sweden. a Martyr to
Toothache, •
Old world royalty is decidedly
weak in the matter of teeth. 'Ilia
moment thatthe -Duke of Cornwall
and York landed. in Australia he Was
obliged bo place,himself-in.the hands
of the dentist, 11114 was afflieted
such an extent With the agonies of
the toothache that , lie was unable
to appear at sevel'al "reeeptions or-
ganized in his holiOr',, ....Ind at which
the Duchess was -obliged' ,to figure
alone. On the Opliir .arriving in the
St. Lawrence 'almost the first per-
son to be summoned on board was ,a
Quebec dentist, for the purpose of
affording relief to the Duchoss, whose
entire, trip across the Atlantio,' had
been spoiled by -a - torturing tooth.
We all remember how King Ed-
ward, when asked to describe, his '
-chief aversion, declared that it was
the obligation to look pleasant and
to make civil speeches -to people
when suffering from a' raging tooth-
ache, and the late Dr. Thomas Ev-
ans, of Paris, was frequently sum-
moned across the Channel to Sand-
ringhain to attend to the •teeth • of
the Ring and Queen and of their
children, who would never pass
through Paris without submitting
their molars to •011 inspection by
THE FAMOUS DENTIST.
• Both Napoleon III. and Empress.
Eugenie had constant recourse to the
medical services of Dr. Evans, and
notoriously- took .advantage of the
fact that he was continually being
called, away to attend this or that
foreign sovereign to intrust him with .
the. delicate duty ,of repeating to his
illustrious patient matters which
could not well be communicated , ei-
tiler in writing or verbally through
official channels.
There 'is no royal persouage -in all
Europe who -is' a greater martyr to
toothache than the Crown Prince of
Norway and, Sweden, whose teeth
are barred, .owing to 'which none of
them cart be removed without having
been previously crushed'," so as to
'admit of their being taken away
piecemeal. That the queen of Rau-,
mania, ha.s frequently stood 10 need
of medical attendance to her teeth is'
shown by the fact that when, after
the failure of her Majesty to carry
through .her net project of a mar-
riage between herr nephew, the Crown
Prince; and her favorite maid of
honor, Helene Vacarescu. she with-
drew to Venice and established a
sort. of court of hen own there, her
American dentist figured along with
her preach private secretary, Robert
Schaeffer, and Mlle. Vacarescu among
shose of her familiars whom her -hus-
band, the King, summarily dismissed"
from his wife's service at the time
when he confided her to the care of
her mother and brother in Germany,
where she was virtually under
RESTRAINT FOR A TIME.
Among .the persons distinguished
by Queen Isabella of Spain with hei•
favor was an American dentist, who,
in the latter part of the '50s, 0114 10
