uW1LL You TAKEA DRAM" said kind,
matronly woman once, to Minister of the
Gospel. "No madam" said he, "ministers
do not drink drams" She turned towards
him, looking very quizzically and with a
nod of the head said, "Some of them do"
The minister said, Very unworthy ones
may, Madam 'Well,' said she, Il don't
know, sir, but Mr.. does so [ thought,
said the Minister. The fact was the old la
dy was kind hearted woman, and some of
that sort had been to her house, and asked
for dram, she thought she would offer it to
others.
But do Ministers of the Gospel take drains
now.a-d days? Can it be that man calling
himself an ambassador for Christ, can pol-
lutte his lips with intoxicating liquors? Yer
ily, such men must be unnonhy, who prac-
tice it. Some, however, think otherwise

boastingly, "Bro. -- is a good preacher

will preach three hours"

A STRONG ARGUMENT.

M, Editor:-I know not when my feel
incs were more intensely aroused upon the
subject of temperance, than they were few
days since, in listening to the simple nara
tive of good man, related by the minister
upon our circuit. He said, he had recently
called upon a good brother, in the last stages
of consumption sitting by the fire and spit
ting his life away with that troublesome dis
ease. Said he, "Brother L., you are very
low and suppose the good Lord calls you
home, what are your prospects of future
happiness?" "Ah!" said he, "brother p,
I am expecting to die soon. l know not
what hour I may have to 50. l have 40
fears as to the future. All seems bright,
and I am sure I shall go home to Heaven.
1 am sorry to leave my poor little ones with.
out a father to watch over them, but God
our heavenly Father, will take care of them :
81 have" said the dying man, "been re-
viewing my past life; and there is but one
thing that is connected with the past, which
now troubles me- once dealt an liquor;
and though I was then ignorant of its evil,
and abandoned it as soon as / found it was
wrong to deal in it, yet when [ think that L
may meet some poor widow or orphan at the
Judgment seat, made so by the liquor l
made and sold, my heart is troubled within
me"
What an evidence this, of the great wrong
in dealing in the article Well was it for
our good brother, (fOr we know him WE'LL
and know him only to love him) that he saw
the wrong and repeated. Manya dealer on
" sees his wrong when he is entering the
gates of death, and then it is TOO late te REM
edy the evil. =,
I would to God all dealers in the accursed
traffic, would see its evils.-lbid.

PLAINLY BUT TRUTHFULLY SPOKEN
The Salisbury IFa!chman culbodies in nut
shell the certain consequences 10 young men
who indulge in the use of strong drinks, IN
the following brief paragraph:
GAS fast as one crop of swt2lers die off, an
other crop takes their vacant places. There
are number of young men in our town
now, frequenting the liquor shops, who look
down with contempt on few debascd wrecks
of humanity they meet there; but the time
is not far off whea there will be those who
will look down on them. by the time the
present crop of "hard cases" will all have
gone to their graves, these nice young meu
will have become confirmed sots, and will
imperceptibly fill the blank around the doors
of the doggeries And so it goes on, from
generation to generation"

From the Spirit of the Age.
RETAILING LIQUORS.


It seems to me, that while We are so earn
estly appealing to the sympathics of the good
and benevolent, the affections of Parents and
the common sense of all, to discontinue the
use and abuse of "Alcohol," that we entire
" neglect or overlook class who contribute
greatly to the convenience of the "dram-
drinking community" I mean the retailer
of "Spirits." A man is in great measure
governed by public opinion in the selection
of his daily occupation, and could we bus
impress it on the minds of large number
of this class, that dealing in liquor is not a
respectable business, at once you would see
numbers of them doing something else by
which to make living Now who is to do
this? The answer is plain enough for child
to see and tell. Let the highminded. hon.
rable citizens in each community not coun-
teuance the man. But another question IS
then asked us: DO you not believe Sir, that
there are honest, honorable men engaged in
selling liquor? We do; but establish the
plan of making it general rule of not asso-
ciating with them, and you will find these
good men will quit the business and leave 1t
entirely to those in whom the community
will have no confidence, and soon "dogge-
ry" will be thing unknown in civilized
community. This will not only stop the sale
of it-but many who now only indulge in a
social glass, will be ashamed Of the company
of those who sell, and quit the use entirely
1t is not the example the drunkards sets
that is running so many Of the young men
of the present day, but on the contrary it is
the moderate drinker. Show drunken
staggering the streets or perhaps lying in the
gutter all covered with filth and dirt, to your
little boy, and he will turn away with horror
and disgust; but let him mingle in polite SO
ciety, where the wine.cup is freely used and
all grow merry, where laughter is excited
and jokess pass freely from one to another
and you will find him soon leaving his toys
his young companions, his play, his all, in
a word, to take his place among those who
have become Hvely and friendly by indul-
ging in social glass.
Then strike at the root of the evil, and
soon we will have the pleasure Of seeing
good men leaving this business and engaging
in one that will be honorable to any man.
May God speed the time. W.

A CHARITABLE GAME OF BRAd.-The

pleasant Chr stmas incident:
A poor woman, seemingly a worthy object
of charity, applied to a party of gentlemen
on Third street, as they came out of drink
ing saloon, for aid for her sick and starving
family, and offering to introduce all of them
into her poverty-strickeu home, if they
would accompany her. Eyeing her for an
instant, one of them, whom We shall call
Bob, turned to his companions and said, with
more emphasis than grace
sShe is poor, boys, and I pity her two
dollars and a half-drawing out gold
piece of that denomination, and presenting
it. 'How much do you pity her, DickT
I'll see your $3.50, and go half dollar
BETTER quoth Dick,
by h-n,' says Jim, I'll see your three
dollars, and go two dollars better
My eall,' rejoined Bob; show your hand,
at the same time planking down two dollars
and half more to make good the bluff.
The poor woman, overwhelmed with graft
tude, tearfully endeavored to express her
thanks; but the trio, evidently not accus-
toned to female tears, beat a hasty retreat
