“LIP SERVICE ONLY.” Alexander, the White Czar of all the Russias, after a short life spent in fear and trembling of Nihilism—after over a decade of domination of the most ignorant and superstitious, and the poorest mass on the face of the earth—died the other day, or, as he used to put it, “ left his Russian prison.” While alive, from his very position as Czar, and not because of any bad qualities of his own, he was the best hated man in the world, and now the cable tells us that his remains have been taken around the towns, and the peasantry have trampled each other underfoot in the attempt to kiss the dead, and which hurt them so much when it was animate. The pathos of all this is not the pathos of such a scene—but the falsehood of it. The Czar might well have said with Macbeth:— friends, I must not look to have, but in their stead Curses not loud but deep—month-honor, breath, Which the poor heart w’d fain deny, but dare not.” Thus is the just reward of all successes, if they be gotten falsely at the cost of other men. But the success of the great book, of the fine opera, the heaven-born statue, the picture with the light of genius in it, or the scientific medicine which works honestly for its ends —these are enduring. Such medicine is Warner’s Safb Care. It cures all forma of Kidney trouble, which is responsible for 90 per cent of known diseases. To the name of Warner’s Safb Cure, which for 16 years past has gained the increasing confidence of nearly every large community of the civilized world, can j truly be applied the converse of Macbeth’s bitter complaint, and affirm that it enjoys ail age, As honor, love, obedience, troops of friends.”
