In opening IA letter at the Post
Office the other day, we found one
dollar bill, OH the back of which, in
Il neat business hand, was written
the following inscription -
"T'his is the last dollar OF a for.
tune of 500, 0,000-all of which has
gone for rum. What a miserable
fool have been.
JAMES T. COPP.1
Fool, indeed, thought we. And
such is the power OF rum. And
such are the sad effects OF all strong
drink upon those who use it. It
steals away the brain, and makes q
man a fool, until bewildered and Sc
duced hy its destinations, he throws
himself away. willing victim, and
becomes a sot and q brute, and des-
troys his health and peace, and
squanders his fortune. ruins his bu-
siness and good name, brings his
family to poverty and misery, and
dies, Mt last a death of horrors, and
is shut out from the Kingdom Of
God forever. Verify, " wine is a
mocker, and strong drink is raging ;
and whosocver is deceived thereby
isnot wise.'

A HOSPITAL INcIDENT.-One day well
dressed, intelligent woman, called at the
door of the diet kitchen, and asked to see
one OF the Christian Commission " ladies',
The surgeon had sent her to me to help find
her husband, and the directions were, "Bed
one hundred and six, ward two. AS we
went up the steps l noticed she trembled
with excitement. l inquired if she was
tired, and she said NO." though she had
slept none since leaving her home. We
entered the ward and the nurse pointed out
the bed, but it was empty. looked at her
and saw she was deadly pale, and fastened
to assure her there was some mistake, as
she would not have been sent from the office
to look for her husband if he had been dead.
While had been talking with her the ward
master had referred to his book, and told US
her husbands leg had been amputated few
hours before, and he was then moved to
ward four Again her face was in glow,
and could hardly keep her from running
In unannounced. We could see his face
from the door, and thought him asleep,
AS / was holding her by the arm, and beck
oning to one of the men to come to us, he
