Golden Words for the Young.

1t is safer for me to abstain than Ia
to drink. If | should indulge i'm
drink, l am afraid should not stop
at the line which many call temper.
.ance, but should become slave to
the habit, and with Others of strong
er nerve and iirmer purposes go down
to drunkard's grave. II | indulge,
L am not safe. If | abstain, my
children will not be cursed with u
drunken father. We talk of the dig
nifty OF human nature, and of relying
upon our self-respect for security but
there is no degradation 50 low that n
man will not sink into, and 10 crime
so hellish that he will not commit
when he is drunk. There is nothing
so base, so impure, so mean, so dis
honest, So corrupt that u man will not
do when under the law of sin-ofap-
petite. Safety Is to be found in not
yielding ourselves to that law.
But ii it could be proved cDnclu-
Sively to my own mind that | could
drink and never be injured, yet with
my views on the subject, it would be
my duty to abstain. could not be
certain, but Others seeing me drink,
might beintiuenced todrink, also; and
being unable to stop, pass on in the
path of the drunkard. My example
would, in that case, he evil; but |
ask, am / my brothers keeper? Yes,
| am responsible for my influence,
and lest it shall he evil, l am under Il
high moral and religious obligation
to deny myself that which may not
injure me, but will injure him. If |
neither taste nor touch, nor handle,
nor countenance, then my example
will not lead others to become drunk

ing very handsome this afternoon
with your red cheeks, Lily; yon have
just enough to do for health. ! don't
do in this neat house, ~ and as lie
chucked her under her chin, he ad-
ded, An old friend of mine will be
here to dinner and spend a few days
with us. You must be careful and
not work too hard"
This was drop too much upon her
Overburdened heart and hands,
and she longed for n place and
time to weep; but there was neither,
and bravely choking down her grief,
and squirting up her energies, she
brought her husbands's slippers and
evening paper, and while he lay
upon the lounge resting, she dished
up and brought In the dinner.
a noted lecturer was to speak upon
an interesting topic that evening,
and UNCLE Toby and his friend deter
mined to 90. The children could not
he left alone, and of course Lily must
remain with them; but though Uncle
Toby declared it was too bad, and
he regretted it very much, vet il
never seemed to enter his mind that
he could change places with her, and
let her have breath of the outside
world she so much needed.
AT the table the next morning, the
lecture, politics and the common
events OF the day were discussed, when
Lily, not wishing to be silent, and
anxious to do credit to her well-in-
formed husband, unfortunately made
remark which exposed her ignor-
ance of what she was supposed to
know, and greatly mortified Uncle
Toby. He raised his head, stroked
his long black beard, and said: Lilly,
You must read more; you have two
daily papers supplied YOU"
The tension upon her spirit was
Tightening; an overstrain was upon
the strings of life; and after year or
two more of constantly increasing
cares, they snapped. Delirium came
on, weeks of suffering followed, the
spirit was released, and the attenuat-
ed body was at rest.
Uncle Toby was greatly distressed,
and talked of the mysterious visita-
tion Of God in thus cutting short the
life Of one who had not lived out half
her days, and who was so essential to
him and the children. But he ac-
knowledged the duty of submission
as urged upon him, and bowed to the
divine decree!
Are there no other thoughtless
Uncle Tobys in our land, who are
wearing out human lives? 1t is poor
economy to over tax mothers with
mental service. Save them for the
nobler work which God has put in
their hands.

An association of Congregational

last week, and the points of one un-
official report made at the gatherings

Republican
a few days ago, one Of the clergy
men said, u young man called upon
him and asked him to ofliciate at his
wedding, saying that the young wo-
man whom he intended t. marry
lived twelve miles away, but the mar
riage was to be at the house of her
uncle, only four miles from the mip-
ister's house. The lrevet groom gave
a moderate fee In advance, borrowed
the good mans buggy to bring the
intended bride to the rendevouZ-
and at the appointed time the clergy
man reached there, rs he could, and
found all ready. But just then the
young lady concluded she would not

retract again before he could take her

he had called in u clergyman right
there, and made all fast. "And now,
Elder" said he, show about that fee

The Elder intima ted that he had
loaned him his carriage gratuitoEly,
and had put In an appearance Mt the

that he did not do the job. "Wall,

umphant tone, "and 80 was there,

did not do the job, and | want my

Immediately To this Sumner objected, /,
and gave his reasons therefor. He said
the committee had now Misunderstanding
Cramers record fortwo months, and In
the light ofpresent revelations were Ger
tainly not prepared 10 act favorably.
They found that while Cramer had no
special qualifications for the office which
Il wAs proposed TO give him, there were
some things which took place while he
was consulate which needed clearing mp.
1t was charged, among other things
against Cramer, that he was slapped in
the face by an American while holding
the latter position, and that he neither re-.
sented the insult nor attempted to do so;
that he was broughtinto disgrace by this
conduct, and that the only way he ever
undertook to redeem himself was to In
form the President; that this was not the
man to.promote 10 office abroad, espeCi-
ally as public opinion had such low es.

that this nomination should be acted upon

The speech made BY the new Senator
elect Of West Virginia 10 O party Of ser.
enaders, is . cheerful indication Of intel.
lectual and moral progress in the future.
The new Senator prefers to work rather
than talk. GOodi and he Is Tor the people,
for liberty and the Constitutlon-better
but indefinite; and hO hopes often to meet
his constituents In social talks and, he had
almost said, In social drinks. What more
could constituency ask than rrprcscn
tatlvC who.is ready to work for them and
drink with them; 10 be their servant and
their companion; 70 practice at the bar Of
the SCuate or at the bar out of the Senate;
to be ut once guide, philosopher and
friend. The movement TO apply the
Maine law to tho District Of Columbia
will evidently have neither the moral nor
the official support Of Senator Davis.
