In these days of enforced economy 1! should be a pleasure to any woman to learn how she can save the cost of

new gown for herseif and suit for the lictle ove. or caa make her busband’s led clothing jook like new. Diamond Dyes, which are prepared especially for howe use, will do all this. They are so simple and easy to use that even a ebild can get bright and beautiful colors by following the directions Ou eacd ~pavn- age.

There is no need of soiling the hands with Diamond Dyes; {just lift and stir the goods with two sticks iu the dye bath, and one will not get any stains or spots.

In coloring dresses, ccats, and all large articles, to get a full and satisfac- tory color, it is absolutely necessary to have a special dye for cotton goods and a different dye for wollen goods. This is done in Diamond Dyes, and before buying dyes one suould know whether the article to be colored is cotton or wool, and get the prover dye. Do not buy dyes that claim t color everything, for their use will result in failure.

THE DEACON'S PIETY,

(T ees ees=4 ET ALL OCCASIONS AND 44685 GMSS EIGHTY YEARS.

Sucpended Religious Services Indofinitely to Nurse the Victims of a Sma!ipox Epl- demic—An Example In This as He Wasa In Devotion to the Flag.

Deacon William Trowbridge was a small farmer living near Sheboygan Falls. He went there over 50 years ago. Resd-- iStag.a lhtie patch of ground the deacon, who was indeed the very goul of honor and ever had the respect and confidence of all in that commu- nity, was in the habit, before regular preachers were sent there, of reading a sermon or exhorting. There was no sham about Deacon Trowbridgo’s piety. He was sincerity itself.

Fifty years ago the little village was visited by a smallpox epidemic—an old fashioned, widespread and spreading

epidemic—and they didn’t know how |

to scotch it a®well as they do now.

The first Sunday after the dreaded disease made its appearance the deacon’s congregation was quite large. At the end of the services he made an announce- ment in about these words:

. : } ‘* These services will be postponed un- | til after the smallpox disappears from |

the community. From this on I shall give my services to the stricken fam- ilies. I shall minister to their wants, help to nurse them, and when they die follow them to the grave. It may bea long term or it may bea short term, but, however long or however short, it is my plain duty to help my distressed neighbors. ’’

The word was weil suited to the ac- tion which followed. The good old dea- con hurried to his home, changed his clothes, bade his family goodby and at once began his work of mercy. Whata work it was! The epidemic lasted near- ly all winter. Large numbers died. Few in the village escaped the disease. The deacon’s example was followed by oth- ers. Men went to their homes, told their wives and children what the deacon had said and was doing, arranged their busi- ness, provided fuel and provisions, kissed their dear ones and went to the aid of the unfortunate. Like the deacon they went without reward or hope of reward. Like him they spent weeks and some of them months in that service without daring to go home lest their dear ones catch the disease.

The strangest of all this strange ex- perience is the fact that neither the dea- con, the good souls who imitated his ex- ample nor their families were overtaken by the malady, notwithstanding the fact that the watchers, helpers and nurses were almost constantly in the presence of the suffering patients and notwith- standing the fact that they laid out and helped to bury the dead.

Nearly half of the deacon’s congrega- tion had disappeared when, the next spring, he resumed services in the schoolhouse. It wasa sorrowful Sun- day. Those inthe audience who bad not lost members of their family had lost neighbors and dear friends. When the good old Christian had read a chapter, prayed and talked a practical sermon, he referred feelingly to the scenes through which the community had passed. I think every man, woman and child in the room, including the deacon, wept. At the close of the talk he asked all present to join bim on their knees in asking that the community might escape such visitations for all time to come. It was a most earnest appeal. I believe that that prayer has been an- swered. There may have been a few cases of smallpox there since then, but there has never been an epidemic.

The Sunday after Sumter was fired upon, and while Deacon Trowbridge was conducting services in the Baptist church, the denomination to which he belonged for over 80 years, he and his congregation were disturbed by a great commotion in the street right in front of the church. There were beating of drums and sounds of fife much out of tune. It was so uncommon a thing that most of the congregation walked or ran out of the church. Finally the dea- con closed the Bible and slowly follow- ed his fleeing flock. When outside, he asked the cause of ‘‘this unseemly dis- turbance on the Lord’s day.’’ Some one told him that the president had called for soldiers to uphold the honor and the flag of the nation and that they were going to raisea company right then and there.

The old deacon’s eyes flashed as he walked ont into the street, where a young fellow was irregularly pounding a bass drum, and said: ‘‘Nathan, I know itis Sunday and that all but the Lord's work should be abandoned, but the saving of our country and the shielding of its flag from dishonor is the Lord’s work. Give me that drum.’’ And that model of piety strapped on the big drum and went to pounding, greatly outdoing Nathan in two re- spects—he made more noise and kept perfect time. He drummed as no one before had never drummed in the little village. As if it had gone on lightning wings, word flew through the commau- nity that Deacon Trowbridge had left his pulpit to beat a drum, and on Sunday too.

Within half an hour nearly every one in town and many from the outskirts had gathered around the old drummer, all cheering him, and on Sunday too. That night Nathan Cole, who had been relieved as drummer by the deacon, went to Sheboygan with enough men to make up what became Company C of the Fourth Wisconsin.—~J. A. Watrous in Chicago Times-Herald.
