For Value Received"

This is the condition affixed to Promissory
Notes when given Zone day after date, for
value received, I promise to pay" &c. Now,
can a man c~oncientiously give or receive such
a note for a debt contracted for intoxicating
drinks? Does it not bear a falsehood upon
its very face ? Does not the buyer know,
when he afixes his signature to such a note,
that he is certifying to an untruth Yes !;
he must feel and know, that he has not only
not got the value Of his money, but he does
worse ;-he knows he has received that which
has ~squandered his property, impoverished
his family, and sent a curse to the bosom of
his home. q
But the seller-how can he c~onscientiously
receive such a note? He must know that he
has furnished any thing else but ~''value" for
the mans money. He knows, and knew at
the time he was furnishing the liquors, that
they. were not only useless to the buyer, but
a direful injury. And he knew that the stuff
that he was selling was not even what it pre-
tended to be-that it was a fraud-that his
liquors were adulterated and drugged, their
poison intensified by the addition of the vi
lest and most destructive articles
A "Promissory Note" given for ea1ue re-
eeiced," for a liquor bill, is q eheat-a lie
and if judgment were put to the line, and
justice to the plummet," no such note would
be collectable by law

THE D~RUNKARD's AsYbUM.-It is stated in
a New York paper that no less than three
thousand ~drunkards -haye already applied for
admission into the sa1nebriate Asylum" of
that State, where It is proposed to treat
drunkenness as any other constitutional or
hereditary disease, s'producing in its progress
a peculiar insanity, which places its victim
beyond his control. "sa $$70, 900 are wanted, in
addition to the sum already subscribed, to put
the institution into complete and successful
operations, ssfF
What 2 commentary this, upon the law
that authorizes the erection of houses to ex-
tend this hereditary disease to all the peo-
pie OF the State. Suppose the smallpox was
prevailing to such an extent ia the commune
ty, as to require the erection of a hospital es-
pecially adapted to this peculiar disease
What would be thought of a proposition to
grant licenses to persons to open houses for
the purpose of spreading the infection so that
the smallpox hospital might be filled with
victims The idea would be denounced as
monstrous-deyilish. And soft would be-
But is not the licensing of grog shops to
make drunkards, an equalenormity. YesE
only more so. For the smallpox victim, if
he RECEIVERS, does not entail the disease upon
his offspring while the drunkard does.

The Temperance Cause.

The cause of temperance is certainly one
OF the great causes of the day, says the Tenn
perance Visitor. 1t is making a substantial
progress in the sentiments of the people
discussion is ventillating public opinion-and
mistakes in legislation which is intended for
the advancement of the cause, all give that
experience which makes apeople wise for the
accomplishment of their purposes. Since
1926, the first organization of the movement.
it has had many and able men it has enlis-
ted phllanthropists, and statesmen, and con-
tlnued in accommodating advocates, until it now
has the majority of the people as its advocates.
One great assistance has been found in tenn
perance organizations. In 1912 the order of
the Sons OF Temperance was organized in the
city of New York, and soon Grand Divisions
were organized in all the states and terrific
rIes OF the Union, and also in the British
Provinces. The benefit of these organiza-
tons may be seen in the fact that they will
influence many that could not be reached 9th
erwise; and it will also give them assistance
and stimulant to sustain them in their good
resolves. Man is social in his moral resolves:
ne wants his virtues noticed; his pride will
hedge him around with barriers to keep away
the approach Of the destroyer.

VERY SELFIsH.-One of our exchanges ad,

This fellow is but carrying out the oft-re-
peated declaration of temperance men, that
we care not how great a drunkard q fnAn is,
he always wants sober men to attend 10 his
business because he knows from experience,
that a drunkard is incompetent to the faith

BE SoMETHING.-Young man--takc to
yourself this comprehensive word of advice,
Be something! What foundation for your
own future can you lay in the next five years.
If you are to-day twenty--see what you can
be at twenty-five. IF you are a lad of ff-
teen then begin from your present standpoint;
SO much the better, and be something. And
if another young man Of our readers is al
ready twenty-five, and if even few precious
years have been lost in respect of mental inns
provement, yet it is not TOO late to arise in
your strength, and resolve on being some
thing 10 our worlds true history, and doing
something to bless Others. "a

powers of which they scarcely dream. I'VE
must scale the heights a vigorous writer
has said, and go down into the depths Of
ourselves. We must feel, if we cannot meas
ure, the strength and scope Of our own souls.
: What is wanted, in many young man, is
simply MISREPRESENTATION of the men
tai powers that are lying dormant within him.
Let work, toll, study, bring these latent ell
orgies forth in their power, and the world
shall yet hear from you, young man!
What fields of research and knowledge lie
out before every young man, who in his might

Always remember that yon must be before

USEFUL HINTS TO YOUNG MEN-How many
young men ignoranty deny themselves for

good sense in this city who cannot save $lOC
easily from his annual earnings, and, if he
will forego cigars, billiards and juleps, he car
save double that amount. Figures some
times produce almost incredible results
Thus for instance, if young man upon his
twentieth Bftth day will invest 500 in any
stock paying 10 per cent. and annually there
after will invest the same amount and the &C.
emulation of interest, he will be worth when
he is thirty years DID, S1753; when forty
years old, $4,000; when fifty years old, SIS.
$50; when sixty years old, S4S,7OO.
How simple, then, is the plan by which a
youth of the present day can pass his old age
in comfort and luxury. lie has only to reg.
ulate his expenses so as to save one hundred
dollars each year from his income. If the
amount saved be larger, then the sum tota
will be increased in the same proportion. On

invested in ten per cent. stock will amoun

My Cottage Home.

In little fairy valley,
Where the oak and maple Irvine,
Where Silver streamlet wanders,
Is this prety home of mine.
Where the wild flowers bloom the sweetest,
And the robins love to come,
And the brightest sunbeams linger,
Ismy little cottage home.
haveslicard Of fairer countries,
And Of skies that brighter seem,
Where the flowers are ever b blooming,
And the trees are ever green
And Of cities with their splendor,
Far beyond the oceans foam,
Yet am well contcnted
With my pretty cottage home.
To be sure, no terraced gardens
Are around my simple cot,
No choice cxotics, yet as sweet
The wild forget-me-not;
No park except the forest,
Where the red deer loves to roam,
Yet nature seems to bless me
In my quiet cottage home.
Some boast OF fame and glory,
And others sordd wealth,
Yet care not for their glitter,
With the blessed boon of health.
The king may claim his palace,
And the titled lord his DOME
They know not the enjoyment
OF simple cottage home.
