We carried the body up stairs and laid
II upon a bed, and after having washed
and dressed the corpse, the mother was
called. Reader, you may have seen a
mother stand by the bedside of a de-
parted loved one. You may have heard
the cries of that weeping mother and
listened to her prayers as they ascended
on high to the God Of Mercy. Yes, YOU
may have heard and seen all this, and
yet you cannot imagine the anguish, the
piercing cries, the heart-brOken sobs, the
prayers'Of this mother for pardon and
mercy as she stood by the bedside o.
her dead child.
She prayed that God would forgive
her for putting the first drop to the lips
OF her sou, and by that bedside, in the
still hour OF night, when angels keel
watch over us, those parents, father anC
mother, knelt and promised their Heav'
enly Father that thenceforward and for
ever, wine and all other intoxicating
drinks as beverage, should be banisheC
from their home. l think an ange
came and sealed that vow so that i
might never be broken.
Mothers, are your sons in danger
Do you have intoxicating drinks in thu
house? Yes, your sons are in danger
The destroyer has his nets set on ever,

caught in the snare-watch him.
Ifyou have intoxicating drinks in tn
house, take them out.
If you do not, the end of Willi

men are better than women they need

they do not deserve it. Women have
as much right to be employed in the
public service as men, and the Govern
ment has perfect right to select its
servants from either sex. Seeing that
one sex monopolizes all the highest
posts aud the best paid employments, 1t
is lamentable that il should exhibit
such selfishness as has just been mani
tested by the post Office clerks.n In
numerous instances women are princl-
pals, in post offices, in hotels, in farms,
and also in banks; and these establish
ments will bear favorable comparison
with any that are managed by men; we
think that the people Of this country
will protest against the exclusion OF
able women from q branch OF the public
service, in consequence OF the invidiOus
assumption OF such men.
