who Can Drink Moderately.

John B. Cough asks this question,
and replies to it in the following char
acteristic way:
A moderate drinker always tells me,
81 can give it up when please" So
you can. But when you say so, you
don't ''please," and you never intend
to ''please." 1t depends more on the
temperament than on strength of mind
whether if man drinks he becomes a
drunkard. You take a cold, phlegmatic
man, and he is not likely to become a
drunkard. He may be good man, a
good father, a good husband, a good
Christian, for all 1 know; but he is
not warm-hearted, impulsive, quick and
generous. Give him little more to
drink and he feels svery comfortable. "
Give him another drink and he will go to
bed every mfur-rurrurable," and he
will get up next morning feeling 'very
confurable."
You can't get him beyond the point of
feeling "very confurable." It may eff
feet his vital organ in the end, but
there is no evidence of his intemper
9nce. The other extreme, for l am
dealing in extreme cases. Take a
young man, nervous, full of fire, full
of poetry, and full of music; a young
man who can sing song or tell sto-
ry; hearted, and always ripe for
some mischief. Give that man a glass
of drink and what is the effect? He
feels it in every fiber of his system
It weakens the power of his will
slightly. 1t warps his Judgement
slightly. 1t stimulates his mental
powers to undue activity-slightiy-
That man is changed man slightly
AS he keeps on drinking, and mingles
in the out circles of the world, every
circle becomes narrower, narrower,
narrower. He says; 81 will give it
up when it is injuring me. 1t is false
When you find it is injuring you, then
is the time you do not give it up; you
are like the soldier who called out to
his comrades within the ramparts,
''T've got a prisoner" Bring him
in,' said they. "He won't come," said
he. Then come in without him, -
said they. ''He won't let me-" said he
You think you know and can guard
against all danger. You are like the
pilot who said he knew every rock in
the channel. He steered clear of them
for awhile but finally the ship struck.
"That's one of EN- captain,'' said he.

The New Departure a Failure.

The Bucynes Forum, Democratic
organ at Crawford county, says:
After a careful survey of the vote
cast in the different counties of Ohio,
and a comparison between the majori-
ties of 1870 and 1871, we are led to
the conclusion that the ''New Depart
ure'' was political mistake. Gen
orally, those counties that expected 10
profit by it, have learned to their sor-
row that it had more of the elements
of weakness than strength while those
counties, like Crawford, Seneca, Ma
rion, Defiance, and many others we
might instance, that opposed the move
ment either openly or tacitlys have
not only held their own, but largely
increased their maiorities.
The New Departure" did not gain
us single vote in Ohio, Pennsylvania,
or California. 1t did keep many of
the old Democrats, who vote alone for
principle, at home. Many who went
so the polls did so under a stern sense
of duty, feeling that they were betray-
ed by men in whom they had formerly
reposed the largest measure of conf
dence.
In Crawford county there was not a
speech made, or a line of editorial
written which even squinted toward
this "Depar, ure" to RepubIicanism.
We fought the fight on the live prac
tical issues of the day, and let the
"-dead past bury its dead,

As everything connected with
the Chicago fire is read with interest,
we reproduce the following from the
New York Tribune as not the leastin
teresting item associated herewith:
Mr.. w. D. Bancket brought from
Chicago a curious memorial of the
great fire. Among the ruins of the
Western News Company's establish
ment, where an immense stock of e?i-
odicals and books were reduced to
ashes, there was found single leaf of
quarto bible, charred around the
edges. 1t contained the first chapter
of the Lamentations of jeremiah,
which opens with the following lines
''How doth the city sit solitary that was
full of people! how hath she become
as n widow! she that was great among
the nations. and princess among the
provinces, how is she become tributary
She weepeth sore in the night, and hel
tears are on her cheeks, among all hel
lovers she hath none to comfort her.
And that was the only fragment of lit
erature saved from the News Compa
ny's great depot.

ThOu'rt so full Of baby grace.
May no clouds obscure thy pathway,
Shadows ne'er thy future Shroud;
Thou vert formed for sunny fortunes,
Sweet, bewitching Little Maud"
Fairer than the dream of poet.
Purer than the stainless snow.
Thou hast wandered out of Heaven,
To these earthly realms below.
And the hearts that watch thee, tremble
With excess of mortal love,

Life for thee is golden yet;

BILE some such feeling should not have
taken possession of the whole heart of
us; but, do you know, it is the general
testimony throughout the city, that the
ministers had never remembered a
Sabbath for long time past, in which
the ccn. regations had so crowded
the churches, in which the wor-
ship was SO sweet and deep,
and full of grace and of the divine
favor. And l don't remember, in all
my ministry, any Sunday that passed
over my head in which my enjoyment
of the services was so deep and full,
and in which, between you and me,
thought had done better in preach
ing. Laughter. I had no idea how
it should be that I should have select

closely connected with a text in one
of the Gospels, Think you the men

Grumblers at Newspapers.

Horace Greeley hits the nail on the
head:
"It is strange how closely men read
the papers. We never say anything
that anybody don't like, but we soon
hear of it, and everybody tells us about
it. If, however, once in a while We
happen to say good thing, we never
hear of that-nobody seems to notice
that. We may pay some man hun
dred compliments and give him doz-
en- puffs, and he takes it as tribute to
his greatness, and never thinks of it.
