EVIL EFFECTS OF DRAM DRINKING.

In familiar epistle from Lutte y. Tay--
ior, OF Wisconsin, to Joe Elwell, publish
ed In the La Crosse Republican, We find
touching and powerful exposition of the
result Of an Incorporate use of ardent
spirits, and the danger of acquiring q
morbid taste for liquor:
My pen is arrested, Joe, and my thought
involuntarily turns to another theme. A
friend Of other days, but for whom friend
ship is now shOrn of respect, and has only
pity left, just came to me and asked for
small sum to buy strong drink "Oh it.

noble, mind active and strong, a gen.
tieman, ready writer. a pleasant friend,
he has gone to disgrace with fearful rapid
ity; and wrecked, broken, desolate, and
damned, he pleae for rittance with
which TO buy another draught of forget
tulness, delirium and death. | read too,
to-day, of the miserable death of ex-Sen-
ator MeDougal-the quenching of that
splendid intellect in which his life was
strong enough to strike through the fog

ars to blush. ., the fatal mastery f'hab-

feet and binds him with chains softer than
silk and stronger than steel. Once in the

lap Of Delilah. lie sleeps in fancied Sc
curity in the lap of Indulgence, until hab-
1t has stolen resolution from his soul, and
then awakes to terrible consciousness Of
his degradation, but powerless to retrieve
his lost estate. No position or sttaiumehts
are safeguard against the wiles of habit,
and intellect of 4 lofty order seems rather
to invite than to repel its destructive mas
terry. If there is sight on earth, sad
der and more terrible than al, else, it is
to see liquor-charred remnant of a ouce
great man, cropping in delirium at deaths
dark doors, with hell-b0rn horrors people
ing the brain where once dwelt pure af-

LEARNING A TRADE.

Stephen Girard had favorite clerk,
and he always said he "intended to do
well by Ben Lippencott." So when Ben
got to be twenty-one, he expected 70 hear
the G0rernor say something of his future
prospects, and perhaps lend helping
hand in starting him in the world. But
the old fox carefully avoided the subject
Ben mustered courage. | suppose | am
now free, sir, said he, "and l thought [
would say something to you as to my
eourse. What Go you think Lad better
do:' YES, yes, 1 know you are" said
the miilinionare; "and my advice is that
you 60 and lear the eooper's trade"
This application of ice nearly froze
Ben out; but, recovering his equilibrium,
he said, if Mr. Girard was in earnest, he
would do it. ''I am in earnest ;" aud Ben
forthwith sought the bes. cooper III Spring
Garden, became an apprentice, and in due
time could make as good barrel as tho
best. He nounced TO old Stephen that
he had graduated, and was ready to set
up In business The old man seemed
gratiied, and Immediately ordered three
% the best barrels he could urn out. B>
did his prerties, and wheeled them up to
his counting room. Mr.. Girard pro-
nounced them frst-rate. and demanded
the price. "One dollar, said Ben, "is as
low as l can live by "Cheap enough.
Make ont your bill"
The bill was made out, aud old Stephen
settled it with check for $50, 900 which
he accompanied with this little moral to
The story: There, take that, and invest
it in the best possible manner and if you
are unfortunate and lose it, you have a
good trade to fall back upon, which will
afford you good living"

I'VE BEEN THINKING.


I've been thinking, I've been thinking,
What glorious world were this,
Did folks mind their business more,
And mind their neighbor's less.
For instance, you and |, my friend,
Are sadly prone to talk
OF matters that concern us not,
And others follies mock.
I've been thinking, I've been thinking,
To mend our own affairs
That positively our neighbors might
Contrive to manage theirs.
We've faults enough at home to mend
1t may be SO with others;
1t would seem strange, if it were not,
Since all mankind were brothers.
Oh would that we had charity,
For every man and woman,
Forgiveness is the mark of those
Who know "to err is human"
Then let us Danish jealousy
Let's lift our fallen brother,
And as We journey down life's road,
"Do good to one another"
