Rum is Not a Gift of G0d.

From the hands of the benevolent Be
ing who sitteth upon the "circle of the
universe" directing the destiny Of the hu-
man family, we receive naught to injure
or modest us-all his dispensations are for
our good, and that only-and all his gifts
are for our happiness while upon the
earth Those mighty engines Of human
destruction, which damn our earth and
obscure heaven, are Of human origin and
human invention. Rum, the great sire
Of them all, was conceived, concocted, and
created by man, for nowhere In creation
can it be fuond among the gifts of our
Heavenly Father. We affirm that in all
the world-nay in all the universe of God,
there is not lake, river, strcamlet, or
a fountain of Intoxicating drinks. There
is no such thing in nature. Water,
God has everywhere given, spread it all
over the world, sent it down from the
clouds, sent bubbling up from the earth,
made 1t journey in ceaseless activity In
rills aud great rivers towards the ocean
He has, wherever man can live, given it
to him at his very door, but Intoxicating
drinks he has provided nowhere on the
face of the whole earth That 'Egift, -
whether good or evil, is not the gift of
God, but the invention of man-an inven-
ton that has destroyed more sorrow and
anguish, than war, pestilence and famine
combined. 1t may, by many, be thought
a questionable policy to deprive men OF
the use Of it by legitimate enactment, but
to call Intoxicating drinks the ''Good gift
of Goo" is an abuse Of terms, and a burn
ing reproach upon the benevolence and
| holy attributes of the Deity.

SELECT MISCELLAHY.
4 Esf1t in the Clouds.
BY T. S. ARTHUR.

Andrew Lee came home at evening from
the shop where he had worked all day,
tired and out Of spirits came home TO his
wife, who was also tired, and out Of
spirits.
"a smiling wife, and cheerful home
what a paradise it would be p said An
drew to himself, as he turned his eyes
frcm the clouded face of Mrs. Lee, and
sat down, with knitted brows and moody
aspect.
Not a word was spoken by either. Mrs.
Lee was getting supper, and she moved
about with a weary step.
Come" she said at last, with side
glance at her husband.
There was invitation in the word only,
none in the voice Of Mrs. Lee.
Andrew arose and went to the table,
He was tempted to speak an angry word,
but controlled himself, and kept silence.
He could find no fault with the chop, nor
the sweet homemade bread, nor the fra
grant tea. They would have cheered his
inward man, if there had only been a
CLEAN of sunshine on the face of his wife.
He noticed that she did not eat.
care you not we'll, Mary 70 The words
were on his lips, but he did not utter
them, for the face of his wife looked SO
repellant that he feared an irritating re-
ply. And so, in moody silence, the twain
sat together until Andrew had finished his
supper. AS he pushed his chair back,
his wife arose and commenced clearing OF
the table.
"This is purgatory said Lee to him
self. as he commenced walking the floor oi
their little breakfast room, with his hands
thrust desperately away down IN his trous-
ers' pockets. and his chin almost touching
his breast.
After removing all the dishes, and ta-
king them into the kitchen, Mrs. Lee
spread a green cover on the table, and
placing freshly trimmed lamp thereon
went out, and shut the door after her
leaving her husband alone with his un
pleasant feelings. He took long, deeI
breath as she did so, paused in his walk
stood still for few moments, and then
drawing paper from his pocket, sat down
and commenced reading. Slngularly
enough, the words ON which his eyes res
ted were, "Praise your wife" They rather
tended to increase the disturbance OF mlnc
from which he was suffering.
sI should like to find some occasion FOL
praising mine" How quickly his thoughts
expressed that ill-natured sentiment Bu
his eyes were ON the page before him, anc
he read on. y
''Praise your wife, man for PHYS SAKE
give her little encouragement; 1t won
| hurt her"
Andrew Lee raised his eyes from th'
paper, and muttered, ooh, yes! that's al
very well. Praise is cheap enough. Blu
praise her for what ? For being sullen
} and making your home the most disagree

a SISTERS LOVE.-There are no purer
feelings klndled upon the altar of human
affections than sisters pure, uncontami-
mated love for her brother, It is unlike
all other ahections-so disconnected with
selfish sensuality-so feminine in its de-
elopment-dignifed and yet, withal, so
fond and devoted. Nothing can alter it
nothing can suppress it. The world
may revolve, and its revolutions effect
changes in the fortune, in the character,
and IN the disposition of the brother-yet
If he wants, whose hand will so speedily
stretch out as that of his sister? And if
his character is maligned, whose voice will
so readily swell in his advocacy? Next
to mothers unquenchable love, q sisters
Is pre-eminent. 1t rests SO exclusively on
the ties of consanguinity for its sustenance,
it is so wholly divested of passion, and
springs from such a deep recess in the
human bosom, that when a sister once
tondiy.a and deeply regards her brother, that
affection is blended with her existence
In the annals of crime, it is considered
something anomalous to find the hand of
sister raised in anger against her broth
er, or her heart nurturing the seeds of
envy, hatred or revenge, in regard to that
brother. In all affections Of woman there
is devotedness which cannot be properly
appreciated by man. In these regards
where the passions are not at all necessa-
ry in increasing the strength of the afIec-
tiOns, more sincere truth and pure feelings
may be expected than in such as are de-
pendent upon each other for their dura-
ton as we'll as their felicities. A sisters
love, in this respect, is peculiarly remark
able. There is no selfish qualification in
its out-pourings; it lives from the natural
impulse, and personal charms are not in
the slightest degree necessary to its birth
or duration.

LET ME KISS HIN FOR HIS MoTHERv
Let me kiss him for his mother,
Ere ye lay him with the dead.
Far away from home, another
Sure may kiss him in her stead.
How that mothers lip would kiss him,
Till her heart should nearly break!
How in days to come she'll miss hjrnl
Let me kiss him for her sake.
Let me kiss him for his mother!
Let me kiss the wandering boy:
1t may be there is no other
Left behind to give her Joy.
When the news of woe the morrow
Burns her bosom like coal.
She may feel this kiss of sorrow
Fall as balm upon her soul
Let me kiss him for his motherE
Heroes ye, who by his side
Waited on him as brother
Till the Northern stranger died.
Heeding not the foul infection,
Breathing in the feyer-breath,-
Let me, of my own election,
Give the mothers kiss in death,
Let me kiss him for his mother
Loving thought and loving deedl
Seek no tear nor sigh to smoother,
Gentle matrons, while We read,
Thank the God who made you human,
Gave ye pitying tears TO sheed;
Honor ye the Christian woman

SACRED WoRDs.-Words are often as
unforgetable as voiceless thoughts; they
become very thoughts themselves, and are
what they represent. How many simple,
rudely, but fervently and beautifully rhy-
med psalms of David, are very part and
parcel of the most spiritual treasures of
the Scottish peasants being:
''The Lords my SHEPPARD, I'll not want,
He makes me down to lie
In pastures green: He leadeth me
The quiet waters by"
These few lines sanctify to the thought
full shepherd the braos of every stream
that glides through the solitary places
they have often given colors to the green
sward beyond the brightness of all herbage
and of all flowers. Thrice hallowed is all

lures feel the union which subsists be-
tween the book of Nature and the book
of life.-Irof. HhSon.
