The DANGERS OF TIPPLING-
This is time when every we'll
wisher of humanity should admonish
the young to beware o. the evils of
strong drink. | am alarmed to see
the prevalence that there is of intem-
perance. You have known cases in
which fire broke out in a building,
and engines came and poured their
streams upon it, until at last the flames
were subdued, and great clouds of
smoke rolled up, and one by one the
engines were taken away, and police
men set to watch the place; and by
and by the flames broke out again
here and there, so that it was necessa-
ry to again invoke the engines, al
though the fire had seemed to be ex-
tinguished.
Now, the human heart is SO infam-
mable, the passions are so temptable,
that Is is necessary to keep playing
upon them all the time-and for that
matter, in this particular sin, with cold
water. For there is recurring liza
bility, in every generation, to intem-
perance. And there is this about it,
that the temptation is insidious; the
appearances are specious; the risks
are terrible, and the expectations are
exactly contrary to the probable re-
suit. Men do not expect to be drunk
ards. Men do not become drunkards
suddenly. The work of their degra-
datlon is gradual. At first they take
social glass, they take a glass for
social reasons, not dreaming that the
time will come whentheir appetite for
strong drink will be irresistible; and
with more and more frequent indul-
gence, the habit increases, and at last
carries them beyond their own con-
troll. They sip and sip, always de-
;laring that they could s top well
rnOugh if they wanted to; but they
never stop. They slide down step by
step, till their life is blighted. Their
noble powers are wasted. They have
Lost the errand of life. And even if
men at late period do reform, still
their life is gone.
1t seems the most fatal thing In the
world-this fas ;ination, this infatua-
tion, that falls upon men in this re-
spect. Sound trumpet, call the roll
OF drunkards, and those that are to be
lamned-and assemble them on some
vast plain, and go through the ranks,
and find me, if you can, one that set
out to be drunkard. Find me one
that did not expect to get clear of
drunkenness. You that tamper with
The dangerous beverage are putting
your feet in the very prints that their
feet made, you are repeating the same
thing that they said, and you: are 60
ing right straight down to destruction
as they went. And say to you watch
Take carel Be vigilant! One thing
Is very certain! he that lets strong
drink alone is safe, so far as this vice
f is concerned. Who else is safe God
only knows.-Beecher.

voice quivered, while he emphasized by
vigorous blows on the table. In the
midst of all this the stove, agitated by
his iarring blows, rolled over on the
floor. Brother Lewis, very higf
man in the church, had located himsel
near the comforter of shins; he stood
irresolute when the voice Of his minis
ter cah.e to him laden with faith
"Pick up de stove, Brudder Lewis
pick up de stove, de Lord won't lie

was filed up with miracles OF faith h

to the appeal of his preacher, grabbe
the hot stove, but dropped it Instant,
and turning his reproachful eyes t
the disciple of faith, exclaimed, ID
