"MY Boy DRUNK !"-"Drunk

"MY Boy DRUNK !"-"Drunk -
my boy drunk !'' and tears started
to the mothers eyes, and she bent
her head in unutterable sorrow.
In that moment the vision Of a
useful and honorable career was
destroyed; and one of worthless
ness, if not absolute dishonor, pre-
sented itself. Well did she know
that intemperance walks hand in
hand with poverty, shame and
death; and her mother heart was
pierced as with a sharp-pointed
steel. All, young man! if the
holy feeling Of love for her who
bore you is not dead within you,
shun that which gives her pain;
adhere to that which gives her
joy. If she is with You on earth:
she does not, cannot desire to see
her son a drunkard if she is with
her Father in heaven, she knows
that your conduct shuts heaven
against you, and dcbars you from
her society forever. The drunk
ard cannot inherit the kingdom Of
God.

tion, and Haman was hanged On
the very gallows which he had
erected for Mordecai. A single
turn in the wheel Of Providence
completely reversed the machina-
tions Of enmity.
Let US learn from this as we'll as
from innumerable other instances
of the kind interventions Of ProVi-
dence that the very darkness and
mystery that conceals His designs
are the prelude to a most glorious
deliverance. While our enemies
are plotting our ruin, God may de-
sign in some glorious manner so
to make "the wrath of men to
praise him." as will cause every
heart to exclaim, "The Lord hath
done this !"
Behind frowning providence
He hides smiling face"

"The time Of greatest need
Gods chosen time has been. "

Such has been the history both
of Providence and Grace. Haman
could not be satisfied with all the
honor the king had done him, so
long as "Mordecai; the Jew, sat at
the kings gate" His -mplacabIe
spirit, still burning with revenge
toward the down-trodden Israe-
lites, could not bear to see one oc-
cupying the humblest seat in the
kingdom. His malignant spirit,
therefore, contrived an expedient
to which he adroitly procured the
kings signature, booming the
whole race to a merciless slaugh-
ter. This brought Mordecai to
exercise his wits to avert the
threatened calamity. He sought
an interview with the queen, who
was herself a Jewess, and revealed
to her the plot Of wholesale MUIR
der. With sagacity and prudence
that has never been surpassed, she
acted her part in the trying crisis.
A counter proclamation, with the
roval signature, went forth from
the palace; the result Of which was

HMore Than Conquerors."

every battle Of the warrior,
says the prophet, ''is with confus-
ed noise, and garments rolled in
blood" The most triumphant
victory ever achieved in the field
Of strife, cost the victor more or
less Of loss in blood and treasure.
The wall Of distress over fallen
and disabled comrades mingled
with the shouts Of victory. But
in the great battles between sin
and righteousness, there are no
"lists Of casualties" properly so
called. Every contest is victory
without loss and with infinite
gain. If the Christian hero sur
wives the struggle, he knows that
''to live is Christ y if he falls, he
realizes that "to die is gain" SO
that, whether living or dying, he
he can still sing the conqucror's
song-''Now thanks be to God
who always causes us to triumph" D."
If he saves his goods in the strife
he can use them for the glory of
God; if he loses them, he "knows
in himself that he has in heaven
a better and enduring substance. "
Each contest with his passions and
lusts weakens their power; and
strengthens the habits ofresistance
for the next conflict. Every en-
counter with external vice de-
velops his Christian manhood.
Every earnest prayer offered, sends
the pulsatio:.s Of spiritual life and
power into the whole "sisterhood
of graces" in his soul. And then
he is to remember that he is not
left to struggle alone, either with
bis personal infrmities or with
the corruptions that arc in the
world. '"The Spirit also helphth
our infrmities." This resource
never fails in the day Of trial when
earnestly and faithfully sought.
In the darkest hour, when "the
enemy comes in like food" then
''the Spirit Of the Lord lifts up a
standard" Yes, when his enemies,
like a vast invading army, spread
out their formidable forces before
him, threatening to overwhclm
him in disaster and defeat, when
the counter-blast of another war
trumpet salutes his ears, and 10!
the forces Of Emmanuel are at his
side before whose well-dealt blows
the enemy flies in discontinue.
And thus, using his armor wisely
and zealously, his life is a success
sion of triumphs, until he comes
to the last stern conflict, where he
achieves the most glorious victory
that ever rewarded his efforts ; as
the song from his quivering lips
attests-"O death, where is thy
sting? O grave, where is thy
victory ?" Thus is he through
life and in death, and especially
in his mansion house in heaven,
"more than conqueror through
Him that hath loved him." Read
er, does this holy triumph await
you after the life battle? Have
YOU the faith that overcomes the
world? If not, and if doomed to
final overthrow, better that you

PARENTS, BEwARE!-The suicide
of two young lovers at Santi-Spir-
itos, in Cuba has caused great
sensation there. A young man,
says a correspondent, rendered
desperate at being refused the hand
Of his adored one on account OF his
poverty, proposed to her the fatal
alternative from which Hamlet
shrunk back appalled,. She consen-
ted, and, leaning her head on the
shoulder of her lover, received
from him that death which was
welcome in his company: a second
shot from his revolver, and the
pair were united in death.

quence ?-While the tax falls op-
pressively on the proprietors OF
newspapers, it's influence is no less
felt by every subscriber and reader.
We do not refer to an increase in
the price of subscription, for this
is not always practicable, and is
only done as a dernier resort. The
proprietor, however, must protect
himself against positive loss, and
the subscriber receives a less
amount of reading matter. 1t is,
therefore, clearly tax on know
ledge.

unfortunate on the field. The rules

playing on one side and twelve on the
other, with one OF two changes during
