Some of our greatest and most famous
men have been addicted to Incorporate
habits. Our national roll of kings, 20.

drunkard But this is an argument for
total abstinence. If the strong thus
fall, why should the weak touch the en-.

Let us look at some of our remarka.
bio wine drinkers There was Lord
Byron. His life was one of misery and
despair. None can read of his conviv-
iai parties, his midnight levels, and his
vile associates, without feeling repelled
and shocked, lie was splendid poet
and n great profigate TO him the cup
of pleasure was familiar lie ran the
round of sensual joys. He withheld not
himself from any qualification. Music,
wine, boating, the composition Of poet
ry, licensed and unlicensed love. fame.
and gold all, all were his What then !
Was he best Was his horizon bright {?
Did the golden sunshine fall upon his
path Let his own lines answer
Though gay companions DER the bowl,
Dispel awhile the sense of i'll
Though pleasure fills his maddcning soul -
The heart--the heart is lonely still''
A lonely heart is weary load, and
bows down the mightiest 1t is easy for
young men TO speak of short life and
merry one" but such career soon
brings the lonely heart, the blighted
reputation, and the deep, dark grave.

CuElous CASE OF ATrEmPrED PoIsoN-
ING.-Thc Leeds (Englnnd) MtelHgencer
narratcs an occurrence which took place
at village near Halifax
A wife having become tired of her
husband went to a druggists shop for
arsenic, and refused to say for what she
required it; the druggist refused to let
her have the poison, and having his curl.
oslty little excited, sent for the wo-
mans husband, and informed him of the
fact. 1t was agreed that if she went n
second time something harmless should
be sold to her, and the man informed of
the fact This was done, aud a small
portion of magncsia was exchanged for
sixpehce. When the husband went home
to dinner, he pretended at first to have
no appetite. and his wife was in the same
condition. At last, however, hc set to
work, made hearty meal, and pretend
ed to be thirsty and sick aud eventually,
to all appearance, died the woman during
the time putting on an appearance Of
great alarm. The woman's cares and
fears, now that he was dead, all left her,
aud she went up stairs to put strong
cord through hole in the floor going
down again to adjust it nicely around the
dead mans neck after which she again
went up stairs and began to pull away
at the rope, In the meantime the cord
was put round tho table leg, and that
useful domestic article was suspended in
