y WESTERN TEMPERANCE LECTU.
EER-Billy Ross, temperance lecture,
at Rushville, H., was preaching to the
young on his favorite theme. He said
"Now, boys, when l ask you a ques
ton you mustn't be afraid to speak right
out and answer Inc. When you look
around and see all these fine houses
farms and cattle, do you ever think who
owns them all now? Your fathers own
them, do they not ?"
Yes, sir y shouted hundred voices
"WcIl, where will your fathers be
twenty years from now 2"
Dead !" shouted the boys.
That's right. And who will own
this property then 2"
"Us boys !" shouted the urchins.

drunkar1s lounging around the saloon
door, waiting for somebody to treat

ayes, sir, lots of them 2"
"Wsll, where will they be in twenty
years from now ~
Dead !" exclaimed the boys.
And who will be the drunkards
then ?"

Billy was thuuderstruck for moment,
but recovering himself, tried to tell the
boys how to escape such fate

were never displayed openly until aft

Keys to Success,

Man is like snow ball. Leave him
lying in idleness against the sunny fence
of prosperity, and all the good that is in
him melts like butter; but kick him
round and he gathers strength with every
successive revolution, until he grows into
an avalanche. TO succeed, you must
keep moving.
The worldrenowned Rothschilds as
cribe their success to the following rules
BE on hand; make bargain at once.
Never have anything to do with an un-
lucky man or plan. Be cautious aud
bold.
David Ricardo, the celebrated politi-
Cal economist, had what he called his
own three golden rules the observance
of which he used to press on his friends.
They were: Never refuse an opinion
when you can get it. Cut short your
losses. Let :"ur profits run ON.
John Jacob Astor, when requested to
furnish incidents of his life, replied,
my actions must make my life"
Stephen Girard's fundamental maxim
was, "take care of the cents, the dollars
will take care of themselves"
Robert Bonner, who made a fortune in
four years out of the New York Ledger,
attributes his success entirely to his
persistent: repeated and gener.us adver-
tising"
Amos Lawrence said, when asked for
advice: Young man, base all your ac-
tions upon principle Of right preserve
your integrity of character, aud in doing
this never reckon the cost"
MANY man has lost being u great
man by splitting into two middling
ones. s."-FhiUips.
John Frecdley's nevcr-varying motto
was: "Self-dcpendence and selfreli-
ance." He says: "My observations
through life satisfy me that at least nine
tenths of those most successful in busi-
ness, start in life without any reliance
except upon their own heads and hands
hoe their own row from the jump"
Nicholas Longworth, the Cincinnati
millionaire, says: Il have always had
two things before me; do what you un-
dcrtake thoroughly. BE faithful in all
accepted trusts"
l.. L. Barnum, the noted exhibitor,
ascrbed his success in accommodating n
million dollars in ten years, to the un-
limited use of-printer's ink.
John Randolph sAid: Mr.. Speaker,
| have found the philosophers stone; it
is, Pay as you go"
y. 1. Stewart, merchant prince of
New York, says: Ne abilities, however
splendid, can command success without
intense labor aud pcrscvcring applca-
ton
Half the failures in life arise from
the pulling IN of ones horse as he is
ieaPihS. -ChdPM
"The world estimates men by their
success in life; and, bySgcneral consent,
success is evidence of superiority

Hoes WANT SuLru Whether
hogs require sulphur as essential to their
health, or whether it is sought By them
as condlmcnt may not he known for
certainty. But one thin. is sure, thev
devour it with greed Whenever it is To be
found, 1t is for this purpose, probably,
that they eat large quantities of soft
coal, which contain large amount of
sulphur. Perhaps this is the most
economical method Of supplying hogs
with sulphur during the winter, when
they require good deal of carbon. But
lii The summer. it is better to feed it to
them i'll substances which contain less
carbon, on account of their producing
less heart. Mustard is one of the best
things tor this purpose, and on that
account some of it should be sown in
every pasture into which hogs ale turned.
If hogs are kept in pens, or are in small
yards, it is well to supply them with the
wild mustard that grows in the fields or
highways, or to cultivate some of the bet
ter varieties for them They will eats its
leaves, flowers, seeds and stalks

LIFE UP NORTH.

The Captain gave vivid description
of his experience within the Arctic cir
Gle, and his li!e among the Esquimaux
The largest body of the latter he ever
saw collected together was only 125.
This was at little village near Repulse
Bay, and was rather UNUSUAL circum-
stance. The solitary nature of the life
led by the explorers may therefore be
imagined. All alone in the frozen waste,
with hardly living thing to be met
with; living like molcs, 10 underground
houses, with dogs and Esquimaux, so
huddled together that the human could
scarcely be distinguished from the brute;
shut out from all intercourse with the
outer world, excepting the scraps of news
brought by passing whale ships; such an
existence only varied by occasional expe-
ditions into the interior on sledges draw o
by dogs, can hardly be called endurable,
let alone pleasant Yet Captain Hall
did not complain Of the life.

HOW HE LIKED 1T.

After his arrival there he found, as
did also his Esquimaux companions who
had visited this country with him, that
it was rather hard at first to return to
their old habits, but in time he got ac-
customed to it.
did you eat raw meat, Captain ?"
ooh, yes, most of the time. We
sometimes had it cooked, but usually
liked it better raw. You've no idea how
good it is that way La Fact, Tor that
country raw meat is almost indispensable,
though. don't think il would do in this
climate"
lis it true tia, the Esquinaux like it
bcst when it is tainted 2"
Yes, and the more so the better.
W irn nreat has just been killed, aud Is
lrrsh, it isn't near as good. but when it
,as got to smell quite bad, and especla-
ly alter II has beca frozen, then it tastes
a great d.a. better"

EDUCATE loun SouL.--li you would
educate yow Soul, you must be active.
No man grows to be a perfect Christian
by lying on the bed Of sloth Our man
hood is developed by exercise. The
soldier grows into the veteran amidst the
smoke OF battle Sailors learn not their
craft on dry land, and Christian men
can never be educated so ,hat the whole
of their spiritual manhood can be
developed by merely listening to sermons,
or witnessing the holy cxumple of others.
That strength which Is 20 be multiplied

From the New York World
From the Frozen Seas.

Captain G. F. Hall, the returned Arc
tic Explorer, last night, at late hour,
paid visit, with friend, to the edito-
rial rooms of the World. The following
particulars Of the. conversation which
took place at the time cannot but inte-
rest our readers, and will supplement the
report Of his explorations which Captain
Hall has made to Mr.. Henry Grinnell,
of this city, and will soon be ready for
publication.
Captain Hall is good specimen of a
manly, hardy and unpretentious sailor,
who talks in a simple, straightforward
manner of his experience, aud makes
light of having spent about five years
within the frozen circle of the arctic
zone. He looks stout and hearty, and
apparently none the worse for his rough
experience. 1t may seem strange, after
such u long absence, that he is eager to
return to the scene of his adventures |;
yet he expresses strong hopes to start
next year on an expedition in search of
the North Pole.

people"
"Well, yes, it must be admitted they
are-but their mode Of life has much to
do with this. They have great trouble
to get water enough to drink except by
the sea shore, and the means of preserv-
ing cleanliness are limited"
"How do you find the change in this
country affects you?"
ooh very much I'm all upset and
can scarcely do anything steadily. The
food is SO different, and there is SO much
noise everywhere, and 1 feel the change
in the air greatly. 1t is very close and
hot here. Why, when / first got on
ship-board to come home. after being so
much in the open air, could hardly
sleep at night, and find it hard to do so
now"
"What do you think caused the loss of
Sir John Franklin's company ?"
"Treachery, sir. They were deserted
by the natives, and left without fresh
PROVISIONS or means of getting them But
for this some of them might have been
saved"
"What is the result of your researches
IN relation to Franklin ?"
"Br;eay this: We have settled beyond
doubt that Franklin actually discovered
the Northwestern passage. On his pre-
vlous voyages he had sailed eastward as
far as Cape Hcrschell, and now we have
shown that he reached the same point
going westward aud thus completed the
chain of communication. To him, there
fore, belongs the honor of having made
the discovery, though Captain Mcclure
has received the reward offered by the
British government to the person who
should succeed in the effort"
care you satisfied with the result ?"
"Well, yes considering how much We
did, it is useless to think of how much
more might have been accomplished If
the Esquimaux, who went with me, had
not been so timid, or if | had had BODY
of resolute white men to back me,
think | might have gone on. We were
lucky enough to meet with aud capture
herd of seventy nine musk oxen and
seventeen reindeer, which would have
been provision for mouth, and would
have allowed us to explore much further,
but the Esquimaux were afraid of some
hostile tribes of natives in the vicinity.
aud absolutely refused to go on"
"Did you have any great obstacle to
contend with ?"
Yes; during the first three years we
suffered good deal, but afterwards had
not so much trouble"
"Were your compasscs at all affected
by your proximity to the North Pole ?'
Yes, SO much 50 that at one time
they were useless; at one place the vari
alton was over ninety degrees"
