TT RUINED MY FATHER.

in search of employment. He found none !;

his home, he came across number OF work.
men demolishing house. As he could OBJ
tain no employment, aud take no money home,
the thought struck him that he might gather
fuel from the ruins, and take load of it
home, to save expenditure frem the scanty
family treasures. He gathered heavy load
of shingles, and securing them in bundle,
threw them across bis back, and started
homeward. The load was very heavy, the
weather was hot, but he persevered.
While passing along the street, he was
overcome by the heat, and fell PROSTATE on
the sidewalk. A crowd instantly gathered
around him, some crying out to do this,
and some that, and all doing nothing. No,
not all. There was one, an elderly gentle

for his cleverness and popular verse, who si-
lently proceeded to the relief Of the lad
Getting down upon the pavement, he laid
the boys head in his lap, poured cold water
slowly upon his forehead, and bathed the
limbs. He continued this process until
signs of returning life were exhibited in deep
means. The Samaritan, still holding the
boys head on his lap, bathed the forehead
and famed the tortured features. Gradually
the boys eyes resumed their natural appear
auce, and he became conscious.
"Get little brandy" said the samarl-
tan. "All he wants now is little stimu-
lant"
The liquor was produced, and the glass
put to the lips of the poor boy. He gently
pushed it aside.

Temperance Watter,
TEMPERANCE AND THE CLERGY

The Editors of the american Presbyte-
,ian, Philadelphia, with whom are associated
Rev. Albert Barnes, Rev. Thos. Bralnard,
Rev. George Dufield and others, thus ex-
press themselves on the subjectof Temperance
in that great city. We are glad to hear
such expressions from such able and inauen.
tial gentlemen.
nTEMrERANcE.-Arew we going to awake
or slumber over drunkenness this fall and
winter? The questions about moral suasion
and legal methods are settled by the under
standing that we are to try both d; make the
utmost private effort we can, and the best
laws we can, and try to execute them. But
the question we are just now concerned with
is, are the ministry and the temperance men
going to do something effective this season
or not? Are we to have lively, active, ener-
getic temperance meetings, or is the cause to
be considered dead?
There is an aspect Of it which ought to be
made to ring through the heads and hearts
of the entire community. Men are not
drinktng pure ci,s, brandy and 'ohiskey
no,o. The thing they drink at tavern bars,
is drugged because it is cheaper to put IN
poisonous stuff than to make pure liquor
Men cannot drink and tipple every day for
twenty, thirty, or forty years, as some used to
do. They kill themselves, soon, going OF
into successive attacks of man'u.o potu and
similar horrible diseases in third or QUAR-
ter of the time. Drinking is becoming a
quick instead of q slow suicide. One of the
marvels of this remarkable country is that
men bear this. If a man murder his fellow.
the country resounds with it. But if the
DRAWINGS of distillery kill bat drove OF
hogs, or wagon load Of fish, nobody notices
it, although the liquor impreguated with
such Ingredients, is drawn off into barrels to
be drank at tavern bars by thousands of hu,
man beings! This is asserted. Can it be
contradicted? fit can for the sake of our
country, Of humanity, we hope it will be.
The friends of temperance need to awake
1t is all mistake that it does no good to
lecture upon temperance. 1t does great good
It sets men to thinking. 1t calls their at
tention to o fearful danger. 1t saves many
young man from ruin. 1t disgu'ts women
with drunkenness. It is hardly respectable
in America for woman to drink spirits at
all. Drinking customs keep their place with
considerable difficulty aud conscience hardly
goes with them. We know there has been
extravaganza and reaction. No wonder. The
evil has been enough to make any man ex-
travagant, and there is always enough love
of unhallowed excitement to make "reao-
ton" We do not give up the Gospel, be.
cause there are multitudes of unconverted
men, and because an immense mass OF wick
edness is unreached. So let our temperance
friends not give up; let them hold meetings ;
let them invite the ministry to preach and
to speak on this subject. Let there be tenn
perance sermons in the churches; grand
temperance meetings. Let there be ward
meetings and district meetings; in Court
houses aud School houses and let us do our
utmost to drive out the foul icnd.

D~ We have often wondered achy it is,
that persons who use the adulterated com.
pounds called liquors nowadays, and who
are so we'll aware of their destructively poi
sonous characters, that they will continue to
drink them even unto death. A remark we
meet with in the Danville Transcript, per-
haps explains the mystery. 1t says" not
only do those poisonous adulteration produce
more deleterious effects on the constitution
than pure liquors, but they also create in
great degree al Unsuitable thirst for more. "
What hellish propensity must have insti.
gated the compounding of such drinks !

How mGEoRGE" BECAME A TEToTAL-
LER.-A short time since, young man hV-
ing in o Ogdensburg, New York, whose name
We shall call George, took to drinking rather
more than usual, and some of his friends en-
deavored to cure him. One day when he
was in rather loose condition, they got him
into room, and commenced conversing a.
bout delirium tremens, directing all their re-
marks to him, and telling him what fearful
objects, such as snakes and rats, were always
seen BY the victims of this horrible disease
When the conversation had waxed high on
this theme, one of the number stepped out OF
the room, and from trap which was at
hand let large rat into the room. None of
his friends appeared to see it, but the young
man who was to be the victim seized chair
and hurled it at the rat, completely using
up the piece of furniture in the operation.
Another chair shared the same fate, when
his friends seized him, and with terror de-
picted in their faces, demanded to know what
was the matter.
"Why, don't you see that cursed big rat?'
said he, pointing to the animal, which, after
the manner of rats, was making its way a.
round the room, close to the walls.
They all saw it, but all replied that they
didn't see it-"there oos no rat"
"But there isl" said he, as another chair
went to pieces, in an iufectual attempt to
crash. the obnoxious vermin.
AT this moment they again seized him,
and after terrific scufae threw him down
ION the floor, and, with terror in their faces,
screamed.
"Charley, run for DOCTOR"
Charley started for the door, when George
desired to be Informed "what the devil was
up"
Cup" said they, "why, you've got the
delirium tremens"
Charley opened the door to 60 out, when
George raised himself on his elbow and said,
"Charley, where are you going?"
"Going for doctor :" rejoined George ;
'for what?'
"For what?' repeated Charley, "why,
you've got the the delirium tremens!'
"The delirium tremens, have I? have | ?"
repeated George. "How do you know I've
got the delirium tremens ?"
"Easy enough" says Charley: "you've
commenced seeing rats"
"Seing rats" said George, in sort of
musiug way; "seeing rats. Think you must
be mistaken, Charley"
"Mistaken?"
eyes, mistaken" rejoined George. "l
aiu't the man-Ihapen't seen no rat"
The boys let George up after that, and
from that day to this he hasn't drank so
much liquor, and "hasn't seen no rats"-
not the first rat.-Boston Courier.

LET Her R1P.

S@&S
One sunny afternoon last week
thought I'd take ride,
And hired nag they said was fast,
I'm sure she was when "tied."
Ny friend. Bill Spriggins, drove the mare,
While laid on the whip,
And shouted till was quite hoarse-
"Billy, put that animated female projectile power
through-ge'lang-
Let her rip
We stopped at Bensel's on the road
Of course we had to "smile,"
And give the expeditions nag
A drink and rest while;
We tagged" then calling for the mare,
tossed the man a ftp;
Jumped into the wagon, and seizng the reins, re-
quested he Ethiopian individual who held the
double distilled essence Of lightning in emphatic
tones, to
al Let her rip"
A chap drove q large bay nag,
Seemed anxious for "brush,'
So, whipping up our own fast crab,
We went in with rush.
Twas neck and neck mile or more,
When his mare made trip,
We glided by like lightning creased;
For, having hired the extraordinary animal, we
considered that we had perfect right to get the
worth of our money, and therefore
Let her rip!
We drove along without mishap,
At least dozen miles,
Stopping now and then, Of course,
To take several smiles
At last we ran into chap,
Who gave us too much lip,
The horse broke-the wagon too-pitching Bill and
go. ~ 10 he ,no1 oi6o ttRJ1I "

under the combined effects Of "lager" and
mouthful of mud, exclaimed
