being in Earnest.

No country or system was ever
regenerated or reformed by hall
measures, but by men whose mind:
had been thoroughly imbued with
the gigantic proportions ofthe evil
intended TO be removed-who fully
realized the fact that
Life is real, life is earnest,
Andth grave is not its goal.
In this country there has grown
up a giant evil, more to be dreaded
than all external or foreign foes,
and which requires the same lndo-
mltable spirit and iron will as oil
yore TO crush it. We mean that pa
rent evil, from which thore are SO
many noxlous offshoots-the drum
kenness and drinking practices Of
our times, This is an evil which
the pseGdo-beneYolence and patr1-
otism of our day, of which We have
a superabundance, will never check,
AItmere professions will not overs
throw this evil, Resolutions decIae
ring its enormlty, and protestations
against the lniquity, will not move
the observation-disclosures an inch from
their position. Something more
than these is iDperatiyeIy demand
ed.
The temperance cause ct this
time demands earnest men, not on
ly in words bat deeds The ques-
ton has been regarded as a mere
sentimeLtaiIty-not as a vital sub
'ject. We're all those who are usu-
ally classed as the sober members
of society disposed to SUPPRESS tho
liquor traffic, a single year would
nearly effect the work. Were the
churches of The land to determine
on vigorously insisting on total abs
stInenee for membership. wine bib

fessed Christians. Were the good

WoRKINoMEN, THINK There Is
no greater enemy to Jon than the
liquor traffic. In order to make
strong drink: good grain is wasted,
and your loaf is the dearer for it,
The trafi c leads to all kinds OF
crime, for Furnishing and depressing
which YOU are made to pay. 1t
renders your own position less res
pectab!e and respected; because the
intemperancs of 80 many hard
working men adds to burdens of the
sober individuals of that class. But
for strong drink, you might secure
better dwellings,. a wider culture,
and an improved condition.
Who can doubt what the warm.
hearted, strong-headed mechanics
and artisans would become rs u
class, If they would but strike aga
inst the manufacture, sale, and use
of alcoholic beverage? They would
compel a reformation in state and
society, and redeem industry and

PUBLIC Loss.-The Cincinnati
Times enumerates three great sour
ces of loss, to wit: The Tariff
monopoly, the Land monopoly, the
Credit monopoly, estimating the en-
tier loss at 81, SOC, 600. The Times
could truly have added, which it
did hot, that the manufacture and
sale of alcoholic beverages is the
cause of a greater public loss than
all three. cf the sources it mentions
combined. We can add to our state
menf, based on positive statistics,
the language with which the Times
closes ITS article: sThe little losses
talked Of by the politicians are as
pennies 10 dollars in The COMPARES

be stopped; but to stop only the
small leaks while leaving the bung

ABUSE OF POULTRY.

g A writer in the Working Farmer ex
claims: Eggs forty cents dozen! And
the hens have no place open to them where
they can lay an egg that will not be fro
zen in thirty minutes. The horse has
stall, the hog pen. the dog kennel,
all of them as warm as they should be for
their occupants comfort; but there is no
apartment about the premises for hens,
whose eggs are worth over three cents
apiece. They are treated like feathered
Ishmaelites by both man and beast. The
horses snap at them, if they venture near
them to find roost the boys attack them
with pitch-forks, if they try to keep them
selves from freezing by burying them
selves in the hay on the NOW; the very
dogs bark at them," and bite them too, if
they take refuge under the barn or corn
crib. Of all the living things about
farm, there are none. if we except the
rats. that have so little attention paid to
them as the hens.

DISEASED MEATS.


Coed meat is neither of pale pinksh
color nor of a deep purple tint. The for
mer is indicative OF disease, and the latter
Is sign that the animal died from natural
causes. Good meat has also marbled
appearance, and the fat, especially of the
internal organs, is hard and suety, and is
never wet; whereas that of diseased meat
is soft and watery, often like jelly OF. sod
dened parchment. Again the touch or
feel of healthy meat is firm and elastic,
and it hardly moistens the fingers where
as that of diseased meat is soft and wet
in fact, it is often so wet that scum (the
watery part of the blood runs from it,
and then it is technically called wet.
Good meat has but little oder, and this is
not disagreeable; whereas diseased meat
smells faint and corpse-like, and it often
has the oder of medicine. This is best
observed by cutting it and smelling the
knife, or by pouring little warm water
upon it. Good meat will bear cooking
without shrinking, and without losing very
much in weight; but bad meat shrivels
up,r-aud it often boils to pieces Good
