Thar ONE DRoP.-For two years
past have been laboring to save an in
ebriate. After several relapses he be-
came perfectly sober and gave hope of
permanent reform. His wife remarked,
IF he falls again, it will kill me"
Things went on smoothly for several
months. That once darkened home
had become once more sunny spot.
But one day the reformed man met an
old friend, who invited him to dinner
At the table wine was furnished, and
the entertainer pressed the reformed in
ebriate to take a glass with him. He
knew the mans former habits. Tle
unhappy man swallowed one glass, and
1t unclaimed the demon in q moment.
From that hour TO this my poor friend
has hardly seen sober day, and moth
ing but a miracle of Gods grace will
ever lift him from the bottomless pit
into which one treacherous glass of
champagne hurled him in an instant.
In this case il is not difficult to decide
who was the greatest sinner. The man
who urges n reformed inebriate to
touch drop of Intoxicating liquor de-
serves to be imprisoned for ten years at
hard labor. He is not a safe person TO
run at large, for where is the moral
difference of assassination with knife,
and assassination with n social glass"
of poison ?-Dr. Cuyler.

PUSH.

When cousin Will was at home for
vacation, the boys always expected
plenty of fun. The last frOlic before he
went back to his studies was n long
tramp after hazel-nuts.
AS they were hurrying along in high
glee, they came upon q discouraged
looking man and discouraged-looking
cart.
The cart was standing full of apples
before an orchard. The man was trying
10 pull it up the hill to his own house.
The boys did not wait to be invited,
but ran to help with good will. 'Push,
ptshW was the cry.
The man frightened up; the cart
trundled along rs fast as rheumatism
would let it and, in five minutes, they
al! stood painting at the top of the
hill.
"Obliged 10 ye,", said the man; eye
Just wait minute" and hurried into
the house, while two or three pink
aproned children peeped out of the
door.
"Now, boys" said cousin VIII, "this
is small thing; but l wish we could
for life. "Push PIT is just the word
for a grand, clear morning like this; IL
is just the word for strong arms and
young hearts /; 1t is just the word for a
world that's full of work as this.
"If anybody is in trouble, and you
see II, don't stand back push!
"If there's anything good doing in
any place where you happen to be,
push!
"If there's any work going on in the
Sunday school, push Don't drag back,
Ibeg of you. You'll do one or the
other.
tWhencver there's a kind thing n
Christian thing, a happy thing, pleas
ant thing, whether it's your own or
not, whether it's at home or in the town,
at church or at school, just help with
all your might push"
AT that minute the farmer came out
again with a dish of his wife's best
doughnuts and q dish of his own APP
pies; and that was the end of his little
sermon.
