Brother Sankey's voice, says the New York Sun, had almost given out in tho last days of the revival. It had grown very husky, had lost quality and volume, and frequently refused to obey his will. It lias been painful at times to witness his straining; and on Tuesday night, when ho tried to fill the vast build ing with tho solo sound of that emo tional hymn, "Almost Persuaded," it seemed as though he would break down long before he reached the last line which thrilled the seven thous and silent listeners. His voice has certainly, during the last six months, been put to a test which wo do not think any other man's ever endured. It was at its best and freshest dur ing the open meetings in Brooklyn. Since theu, last October, he has sung almost daily before huge audiences, and ofteu as many as six or seven times a day, at all hours of the day and evening. Brother Sankey is en titled to a long rest, by which his voice can regain its native qualities powers. It lias given pleasure to manv millions of people during the nast five vears. Sending Frayeus ix a Cakt. Mr. Spurgeon tells tho following story: 'A poor man who had a large tarm- a 1 1 y gave tuem a very comtortaDie sup port while, ho was m health. lie broke his leg, and was laid up for some weeKs. as lie wouiu uo ior some time destitute of the means of grace, it was proposed to iiom a rayer meeting at Ins house. I he meeting was led by Deacon Brown. A. loud knock at tho door interrupted the service. A tall, lank, blue frocked youngter stood at tho door with an ox-goad in hand, and asked o see Deacon Brown. 'Father could not attend this meeting,' he said, but he sent his prayers, and they are out in the cart. lliey were rought in, in tho shape of potatoes, eef, pork and corn. I lie meeting roke up without the benediction. Ant the poor sufferer during his whole confinement was provided for. The substantial prayers of the donors became means of grace. Health Notes. For croup, take a knife or grater, and grate or shave in small particles about a teaspoon- ul of alum; mix it with about twice its quantity of sugar, to make it palatable, and administer it as quick ly as possible. Almost instantaneous relief will he afforded. An eminent physician of Chicago says he cures ninety-nine out of every hundred cases of scarlet fever by giving the patient warm lemonade with gum arabic dissolved in it. A cloth rung out in hot water and laid upon the stomach should be removed as rapid ly as it becomes cool. Dyspepsia is cured by muscular exercise, volun tary or involuntary, and cannot be cured in any other way, because nothing can create or collect gastric juice except exertion; it is a product of the human machine. Nature only can make it. m JvEErixo the Hands Smooth. A writer in the American Grocer says that glycerine is not used in the right way. She asserts that to pre serve tho smoothness and softness of the hands, keep a small bottle of glycerine near the place whero you habitually wash them, and whenever you have finished washing, and be fore wiping them, put one or tivo drops of glycerine on the wet palm and rub the hands thoroughly with it as if it were soap, then dry lightly with a towel. Household work and bad weather will not prevent your skin faom being smooth and soft, if this plan of using glycerine is fol lowed. Girls, let us tell you a stubborn truth. No young woman ever look ed so well to a sensible man as when dressed in neat, plain, modest attire j without a single ornament about her i person. She looks then as though sue possessed worth m herself, and needed no artificial rigging to en hauce her value. If a young woman spends as much time in cultivating as j her temper, and cherishing kindness, j meekness, gentleness, mercy, and j other qualities, as most of them do j in extra dress ornaments to increase j their personal charms, she would, at a glance, be known among a thou sand. Tier character would be read i in her countenance. GEORGE A. HARDING.
