TALLY reformed from drinking habits came
home to his fathers house, rejoicing in his
emancipation. His gay, light-hearted sis
ter thoughtlessly proposed glass of wine
ito drink his safe return He was excit-
ed and off his guard he yielded, and the
single glass rekindled thirst that carried
him back again into drunkedness. The
hand that should have sustained him laid
him low. If all the ruined men who have
first received the fatal glass from woman's
hand could utter their testimony, how ma
ny drunkard's grave would tscome vo-
cal with terrible upbraidings? Surely one
would think that woman had already suf-
fered enough from the poison ofthis adder
to mrke her refuse to touch the cup that
conceals his serpent fang.
Mothers fathers 1t is not only some
body's son who is in danger There is a
boy nearer home who is watching your ex-
ample. The darling who nestled in your
own arms may be the victim of the glass
you offer to others. And how dare YOU
warn your own children against dissipation
when they see the decanter on your own
side-board, and are confronted by the tenn
pter on your own tables? You may re-
member the anecdote which DIR. Lyman
Beecher loved to tell of the London cler-
gyman, who, while walking the street, saw
loaded dray coming on rapidly toward a
schoolgirl who was just crossing the way.
The foremost horse was almost upon her.
Forgetting self he rushed into the street
cought the child in his arms-bore her
safely to the sidewalk, and, as her bonnet
fell aside and she looked up with per pale
face too see her deliver, the good man look

SHoEMAKING BY MACHINERY.-A
shoemaking machine is now in successful
operation, says the Patterson, New Jer.
sey, Guardian, which is one of the great
est wonders of industry, mechanism and
genius. This is in reality se'ojag
machine, but altogether different in prin-
ciple from all the ordinary kinds of those
implements 1t is small affair, costing
perhaps not more than $50 or $50 to build

thickest sole wth.a wax end of any thick.
ness. This little machine or traveller goes
all around the edge and way down into the
toes, like thing of magic, and does the
hardest work of the shoemaker with the
greatest ease andrapidity. 1t will sew 800
pair per day, and keep fifty men employ
cd in finishing up the work, all the sewing
of which has been done by machinery
from the finest stitching to the heaviest
waxed ending of the thickest boot soles
The work is better than hand work, will
out-wear anything ever before put togeth-
er and is destined to supercede all other
kinds of shoemaker's work. In fact all
the shoemakers will be needed on the ma
chimes to do the more agreeable finishing

sell readily to manufacturers for $500

manufacturers will be driven into the pur.
chase ofthese shoemaking machines, which
are creating perfect revolution in the
shoe business in our large towns, and which
will in year or two drive all nailed, peg
ged, or hand-sewed shoes and boots out oi
the market. We have seen manufactur.
ers who have the instruments in use, and
who say they are worth $1,000 to all who
use them.

THE FORCE or IMAGIYATIoY.-Peo

THE FORCE OF IMAGINATIoN.-Peo
pie ofstrong nervous temperament are
great slaves to the whims and capri
ces of their imagination, and hence
people of good metal, but of very or
dinary physical requirements, are the
most subject to this tyranny of mind
over matter. Occaionally, a very or
dinary sort of person--that is, an in
dividual of considerable mind, but
whose mental capacities are unsustain-
ed, and V partially undeveloped-
suffers from this peculiar fact in q
most distressing degree. No doubt
(says the best physical authority one
half the ills that flesh is heir to are
superinduced by the fancy of the
sufferer alone. Hundreds have died
by mere SYMPTOMS of cholera, yellow
fever, and plague, induced by sheer
dread and fear of those fearful mala-
dies.
A case is recorded, wherein a felon
condemned to death by phlebotomy
had his arm laid bare to the shoulder,
and thrust through hole in parti-
ton, while he was fast bound to the
opposite side; the hidden executioner,
upon the other side applied the lancet
to his arm with click: the poor cul-
prit heard the muddy stream outpour-
ing, and soon growing weaker and
fainter, he fell into swoon, he died;
when the fact was, not adrop ofblood
had been shed-a surgeon having
merely snapped his lancet upon the
arm, and continued to pour a small
stream of water over the limb and into
basin.
Another case in "pint' was that of
Philapelphia amateur butcher, who,
in placing his meat upon hook, slip
ped, and hung himself, instead of the
beef, upon the barbed point. Hisag
ony was intense; he was quickly taken
down and carried to a physicians of
fee, and SO great was his pain Gn
imagination) that he cried piteously
upon every motion made by the doc>
torin cutting the coat and shirt-sleeve
from aboutthe wounded arm. When
at last, the arm was barred, not
scratch was therel. The hook point
had merely grazed along the skin;
and torn the shirt-sleeve.

HoG-O OGRAPHY.-The following article
went the rounds of the papers few years
ago, but we reprint it for the information
of those who never read it:
Francis Pigg has strayed off from In
dianapolis, leaving Mrs. Pigg and the
little ptggs to hunt their own feed hereaf-
ter. Well do our share towards pen-ning
them
Since reading the above, we are happy
to learn that Pigg left a small sti-penned
for his interesting family. By the last
advises we are informed that this young
boy Barkis, pas soiHin'.
Mrs. Pigg, though she always profess
ed to consider her husband great bore, has
consented to accept this stipend as sus-
pension of hostilities, though she is ap-
prehensive that he has another stye in his
eye We can comfort her with the as
surance that he will be cured one of these
days as many rasher one has been. He
is at present probably hanging about some
of the slop-shops of the city.
We believe that Mr. p is resolved to go
to the root of this matter or die; but it
must be remembered that there are two
sides to a quarrel like this, and however
brisk 1t may be kept up, each one must
shoulder part of the responsibility. We
anticipate prime mess as the consequence.
