REFLECTION OF A REFORMED MAN.
The following is written by Mr.. Edward
Tiyey, reformed drunkard, and val
liant worker in the cause Of Temperance
No one can measure the depth OF deg
radiation to which drunkard VIII de-
scend in order to satisfy his diseased
craving for drink. No family affections,
no feelings of honor or decency can re-
strain him. He grows heartless and
brutal to his wife and children, noglects,
starves, them and in too many cases,
ends by deserving those who should be
his chief care, and leaving them paupers
upon the town. He is sure to lose his
work, and when dismissed by his boss,
he will try and run in debt everywhere
until credit he has none, and then sell
the very clothes off his back to procure
the demon, drink. He will spend his
time in drinking and backbiting, and
running down temperance men general
ly. God help such What miserable
way to live! 1t is sad to see men fool
ing themselves away and dying ike
weeds in the gutter, when they might be
upright, healthy, loved and useful men,
a benefit to themselves and others.
Health is too precious and manhood too
noble to throw away like this, and life
is too sweet and valuable to be drugged
by the poisons compounded and now
sold as liquors 1t is horrible thought
that more than thousand of our coun-
trymen and women are slain by intoxi-
eating drink every week. Before using
such poison, every man should 60 in for
driving King Alcohol into eternal pun
ishment.

To Young MEN.-The true girl has
to be sought for She does not parade
herself as show goods. She is not fash
ionabIe. Generally, she is not rich. But
OF what heart she has when you find
her so large, SO pure and so womanly !
When you see her, you wonder if those
snowy things outside were really wo'
men! If you gain her love, your two
thousand are million. She will not
ask you for carriage or a frst-class
house. She will wear simple dresses and
turn them when necessary, with vulgar
magnifcence to frown on her economy.
She will keep every thing neat and nice
in your sky parlor, and give you such a
welcome when you come home, that you
will think your parlor higher than ever.
She'll entertain true friends on dollar,
and astonish you with the new thought,
however little happiness depends on
money. She will make you love home

HOME INFLUENCE.-Rev DR.. Cuyler
talks in this wise: If the father generally
talks money, money at home he gener-
ally rears family in worship of the al
mighty dollar. If he talks mainly
horses, games and races, he breeds a
batch of sportsmen. If fashion is the
family altar, then the children are offer
ed up as victims upon the altar If a
man makes his own freside attractive,
he may reasonably hope to anchor his
own children around it. My neighbor
G. makes himself the constant
evening companion of his boys.
The result is that his boys are never
found in bad places. But if the father
hears the clock strike eleven in his club
house or the playhouse, he need not be
surprised if his boys hear il also at twelve
in the gaming room or the drinking sa-
loon. If he puts the bottle on his own
table he need not wonder if drunken
son staggers in, by-and-by, at his front
door. When the best friend that child.
hood and youth ought to have become:
their foe, the homes become the starting
post for moral ruin.

Of @. T. Morrison, registrar Of the Sec
ond ward, on charge Of committing a
misdemeanor. and was let out on for
felt Of twenty-five dollars, as provided by
ordinance as TO misdemeanors. Next
day the case was called, and the proof
was that Atcheson obtained registration
papers for person who did not reside
in the ward. The Recorder said that
the registrar had no power 20 administer
an oath TO an applicant for registration
papers. and that while the false state
ments were morally wrong. yet he did
not think it was any offense against the
law, as the registrar must use his best
judgment as to such statements. and in
issuing certificates, Recorder Winters
added that he would continue the case
until such time as be could get the legal
opinion Of the City Attorney on the
novel question. This morning Atcheson
was brought before the Recorder and
was discharged from custody under the
following opinion Of the City Attorney;

There is no law or ordinance making
