A Warning to Drinkers.

Jinks drank too much, as all his friends
knew, but like many another good fellow who

ought to let up on it. lie boarded at one Of
the hotels, and night after night he would re-
main until past midnight at the saloon bar
"histing it in, rendering it necessary morning
after morning to have cocktail brought up
from the saloon before he could get out of bed,
and then another to brace him up for break
fast.
Finally, the bar tender, who brought up the
drinks, demonstrated with him, telling him
that if he continued his course much longer, be
would certainly have the +" Jim-Jams." The

Z" Oh, nonsense" said Jinks, you can't scare

never hurt me. A cocktail or two in the morn
ing and I'm all right, always"
The bar-man had more sympathy for a man
on the downward road Of intempcrance than
most bar-men have, and he determined to give
Jinks fright Accordingly, the next morn
ing. when the well-known ring from Jinks
room was heard, the bartender prepared very
entcing gin coctail, and placing it on waiter,
surrounded it with sundry toads, lizards, small
snakes etc. This he conveyed to Jinks' room,
that individual, who had loaded himself with

" than usual, nervously awaiting il.
"Morning," said Jinks, stretching out q
hand that trembled some, "glad to see you

"Why the toads, snakes, and things around

back of the bed, and viewing the loathsome
reptiles with aversion and dismay. Why,

Jinks raised himself up in bed. ."Do you

mild repellent wave of the hand, "Take away

Episode.

There was funny little episode on the car
that helped TO arouseus. At Montana, young
man and young woman came on board Of tho
slecping-car, and the former said; " See here.
Mr. Conductor, want one Of your best hunks
for this young woman, and one FOR myself in
dividually. One will do for us when we gitto
the Bluffs. Hey, Marisr?" ?" (Aplayful and af-
fectionate poke at Mariar with his elbow; to
which she replies, Now, John, quit ~
"For you see, we're goin' to get married at
Mariar's uncles, when we gitthere. Wemight
have been married at Montanny; but we took
habit to wait till we got TO the Bluffs, aud
being as Mariars uncle is a minister, and they
charged gol'fred price for hitchin' folks at
Montany." Maria was assigned to one Of tho
best bunks and John was given one not far
away. After a time, tho inmates Of the car
were slowed away in their berth, to gothrough
the inevitable alterations OF swelling and freez-
ing. During the stoppagc Of tho train at one
station the voice Of John was heard, raised in
pleading accents, all unconscious that the train
had stopped, and that the tones which the rat
Ting wheels had drowned while the cars were
moving could be distinctly heard when they
had stopped. "Now, Marian, you mightgivo
feiler les one kiss2" John, you quit, or
I'll git right out here, and hoof it back to Mon
fanny in the snow Storm" Only one little
kiss. Mariar, and I'll go. Hope to die Z
don'tp "John-" Just at that interesting
moment a gray head protruded from berth
at the other end Of the car, and an old man
cried out SO that all could hear, Mariar, for
Gods sake give John one kiss so that we can
90 to sleep some time tonight y IL is need
less 10 remark that peal Of laughter rang
from one end Of the car to the other, under
cover of which John slunk back TO the solitary
seclusion of his bunk, leaving Maria to the un-
disturbed possession Of her marriage-liccnsc,
which she interpreted to permit no license TO
John until accompanied by the proper certii-
cate. And Maria was right.

Rather Oblivious.

At revival excitement in Connecticut, a
respectable old lady was struck with convic-
ton, became convert, and was proposed for
membership of the church. There was meet
ing held for examination of the candidates, OF
whom there were several in attendance.
"Well, my dear sister Rogers, said the VEN
cradle examiner, addressing our venerable
friend, "please relate your experience"
The old lady being thus addressed, lifted up
her voice:
"well," said she, 81 don't know whatto say,

and have it burning agin the bridegroom

he didn't make no objection. Then told Mr

The Power of a Word.

A mother on the green bills Of Vermont,
was holding by tue right hand son, sixteen
years old, mad with the love of the sea. And
as she stood by the garden gate one morning,
she said Edward, they tell me, for never
saw the ocean, that the great temptation Of .
seaman's life is drink" Promise me, before
you quit your mothers hand, that you viii
never drink" "And, said he lfor he told me
the story,) al gave her the promise, and |
went the globe over, Calcutta and the Mediter-
ranean, San Francisco, the Cape Of Good Hope,
the North and South Poles. ! saw them all
in forty years, and never saw glass filled
with sparkling liquor that my mothers form
by the gate did not rise before me; and to-day
| am innocent Of the taste Of liquor" Was
not that sweet evidence Of the power Of a sin
Gle word [? Yet that was not half. For"
said he, yesterday there came into my coun-
ting-room man Of forty years and asked me,
Z" Do you know me ?" Nc" We'll" said
he, al was once brought into your presence
on ship-board drunk you were passenger,
the captain kicked me aside, you took me to
your berth and kept me there till had slept
off the intoxication: you then asked me if !
had mother. | said had never known a
word from her lips. You told me of yours at
the garden gate and to-day am master of one
of the finest packets in New York and camo
to ask you to come and see me" How far
that little candle throws its beamsl That
mothers word on the green hills Of Vermont
Oh, God be thanked for the mighty power Of
a single word
