Spurgeon says tho river of death
Is n misnomer. Wo shall not pass
through. Tho spirit of the Lord
hath rebuked It aud dried 11 up, ho
says. But we are to go through tno
valley of the shadow of death. That
Is all. Aud thus, lu tho words of
that beautiful teacher and preacher,
"we shall reach a higher stago ot
being in which we shall bo forever
with the Lord." That Is tho ulti
matum as to death in the thought of
a man who has devoted his life to
the moral and spiritual uplifting and
development of the masses. His
voice has reached tho uttermost
parts of the earth. Ho is heard and
read and thought about In all lauds
and tongues. His flual judgment,
is modest aud humane. It is not
dogmatio and terrible. In the hands
of most theologians death is a kind
of club to drive people Into their way
of thinking. Not so with greater
men like Spurgeon. In his expres
slon it Is a beautiful passing over
into a higher being with tho Lord
of Life.
To our mind what is death? What
do wo all conceive of death, each for
himself? Header, havo you ever
boiled down your bolluf on this sub
ject? Tho mind shrinks from It,
mostly because of tho superstitions
of centuries that aro clustered about
it like a horrid nightmare. To many
the thought of death Is a dark cloud
lined with uuknown terrors. To
others each case of death is a special
dispensation of providence Bent on a
mission of vengeance, to destroy Its
victim aud punish those near and
dear. These aro all tho fallacies of
fear. The ancients who believed In
astrology thought their time to
meet death was fixed by tho con
Junction of a star. Tho average
modern meets his fate thinking it a
blow from on high, when it more
than likely Is from a guillotine
nreatod out of tho imaginings of
sneculators In thlncs snlritual. To

Ufa's insubstantial nuzeant to a
more solid dream, a step nearer tho
fountain of all Life aud Light.
But why do peoplo die, comes the
plaintive wail of human kind? That
is not easy answered. Hut It can be
analysed In part. Tako tho ques
tion to pieces and reverso it and
nut It through the methods known
to logic. Why do some people die?
tho way of lue world; cut down
with barely three days of graco to
closo his career aud ninko his peace,
whence Is he gone? Why called
away? A sturdy pioneer who
fought his way through hardship in
tho early days; literally fought with
wild beasts not at Ephesus but
with tho cougar In tho mountains
and with the panther lu tho forest,
to redeem the wilderness and rnako
it a habitable state. He Is taken In
tho midst of robust life, warm from
the bosom of wife and children to
whom he was an ideal father aud
noble supporter, aye, n king every

ADULTKRATICD MILK.
Few people havo auy Idea how
much adulterated milk is sold.
Cows aro bought, closed up lu a
barn or small lot, fed cheap products,
aud glyon a great deal of water, to
produce the largest quantity of
milk, which is nil sold at the same
price regardless of quality, or the
food it was produced on. Tho Ore

cows.
"In regard to tho feed of cows,"
said ho, "I find that many milk

ated to live as other aulmals, a good
share of his life out of doorsj uot
only to live out of doors, but toltako
exercises out of doors, and thtro is no
way to do that so well as to preform
some kind lof labor-
ambitions and excitements aud un
fulfilled desires kill as many as dis
eases; the deaths from broken hearts
are more uumerous than from bro
ken bones, because tho heart is a
moro fragile thing; and moro peoplo
suffer heart-breaks for other tilings
than for love, aud so ou by tho
column.
We may say that tho old dlo
naturally In many coses, tho' It Is
not often tho machlno wears out lu
an entirely normal fashion. It stop?
from a break hero or a break there
At somo tlmo lew: ago, perhaps, the
human machine got a jar or wrench
that was passed over. But tlmo had
kept the account and now tho strain
proves fatal. Probably tho majori
ty of old men who aro to-day living,
walk this earth carrying wounds re
ceived In their younger years, In
juries obtained in tho battle of life,
from which thoy will one day fall.
Many a veteran of tho wars of the
Republic, who believes ho Is as
sound as a dollar, carries on his per
son, unknown and unseen,HCurs from
exposure und hardship, which lu
the excitement of the tlrno or the
lapse of years he has forgotten, uud
which he will only recall In those
lost momenta wheu In wift fiuul
review nre passed before the oyes of
memory all tho deeds of Ids life.
Ah age explulnea death In many
cases, so death in youth deepens tho
mystery. Why tho beautiful blos
soms of love should be called by tho
cold hand of death before they have
begun to fairly uttfold, Is an Inscru
table secret. A pretty child that
contained all tho hopes uud best
thoughts of parents, that attracted
the attention of strangers by lta
bright face and playful spirits, that
was the ideal of sweetness even
among its sweet playmates at school
why, oh why had it to bo striped
of its earthly beauty by the rude
hand of disease, ntid after suffering

There is no raco of young people
vet born with old heads upon their
shoulders, nor should it be desired.
The uureasonabieneRH, tho extrava
gances and illusions of youth are
part of its charming conditions.
But a husband Is to be chosen not
aiono for the quickly Heeling hours
ot youth; he is to bo a friend und
supporter through tho burden aud
heut of tho day and u companion for
the long shadows ot the evening of
life. Therefore no girl should bo al
lowed to chooso a husband au she
would ohoosoa partner In a dance,
and yet this is what many girls are
inclluod to do.
Mothers ought to supplement by
their own experience tho Inexperi
ence und emotions of their daugh

THK ETATA.
Wabiiinqton, May 0. Tho poli
cy of tho government with respect to
tho escape of tho Chilian vessel
Etata la still an olllcml secret. Sec
retary Tracy and other officials this
morning refused to discuss the mai
ler. There can be no doubt of the
fact that tho government Is extreme
ly anxious to exhibit all possible
zeal In an effort to recapture the
vessol, In order to avoid auy un
pleasant consequences that might
ariso through tho presentation of a
claim for damages lu behalf of the
Chilian government, but naval of
ficers nro very skeptical of tho ability
of our ships to recapture tho Etata
under tho circumstances attending
herlllght. It Is not possible to get
nu authoritative answer to tho ques
tion as to whether tho Charleston
will bo sent ufter her. Tho Informa
tion vouchsafed Is that the Charles
ton was ordered two weeks ago to
coal up and get ready for sea at tho
earliest moment. Tho formalities
attending the president's reception
at San Francisco necessarily do- '
layed theBo preparations, but It is un
derstood they are uow actively un
der way. Single-handed, oven tho
Charleston would havo great diffi
culty In catching tho Etata. Tbe
latter vessel may be 500 miles ahead
of tho Charleston wneii tho latter
startcs ou tho chase, and a variation
of n point or two of tho compass in
steering tho course would soon sep
nrato two vessols by many leacjuos,
so tho Charleston might P tho
Etata without knowing it. On this
account it is probable that If tho Ma
val dopartmout Is really satisfied to I
solzo the Chilian ship ou the high
seas It must rely largely on Its vessels
lu tho south. So fur as heard no
move has been mado in that direc
tion, but tho department may utuny
moment cable Adm'l McCuuu, who
Is on the Chilian coast with thoPen-
sacola and Baltimore, aud to Brown,
who Is on tho Sau Francisco some
where oft Poru, to endeavor to head
offtho runaway. Tho San Francis
co story that Balmaceda's armed
trausport, tho Imperial, Is hovering
offtho coast of California to capture
thoEtata, laxaldut tho navy depart
ment to be without foundation, lor
Admiral McCaun's last report
showed that n month ago the Imper
ial was shut up in Valparaiso harbor

bo manifestly impossible for her to
