As manners make laws, manners likewise

plies now to voting.
Besides, the objection proves too much.
1t appears by the published record OF NIL,

less than the fighting women OF Dahomey.

We should do that to be consistent
In the Prussian army, the most power

that all men are enrolled, and those unit
for field service are employed as military
tailors or nurses. Once apply this prlncl
pie to women and you may draft them tor
military duty as much as you please
The amount of it all is, that woman
must be enfranchised. 1t is a mere ques-
ton Of time. She must be a slave or an
equal there is no middle ground. Admit,
ia the slightest degree, her right to proper
" or education, and she must have the
ballot to protect the one and use the other.
And there are no objections to this, except
such as would equally hold against the

True Religion.

The London Methodist has sound
paragraph which is adapted to any eli
mate:
"True religion is not matter of gas
light and heated chapels. Progress in
piety is not dependent upon protractef
prayer-meetings. Let me turn to the
great Master and the record of His
teachings. 1t abouuds in the stir and
movement of out door life. He had
His teaching ia the house, when there
WAS rot room round the door fOrs His
hearers; but His gre test sermon, which
laid the foundation of practical Chris
tiauity on rock, was delivered on the
Mount. His parallels Of the Kingdom
are filled with the activities of sewers
and reapers, fishers Bnd delivers in the
feeds. The emotions which Christian
ity enkindles are not born of crowded
assemblies; the effects which it seeks
to produce are not the offspring Of ma
tural excitement. The scene of Chris
tiau evangelism may change, but the
spirit alters not when 1t alteration
finds Cur congregations in our sane
tuaries may be thinnttl III summer
season. but the mul'itudes around ps
are more accessible than AZ any other.

Coffee.

1t is somewhat singular to trace the
manner IN which arose the use of the
common beverage of Coffee, without
which a few persons, in any half or
wholly civilized country in the world,
now make breakfast. At the time Co
lumbus discovered America, it had
never been known or used. IT only
grew in Arabia and Upper Ethiopia.
The discovery of its use as "a beverage
is ascribed to the Superior of monas-
terry in Arabia, who desirOus of pre-
venting the monks from sleeping at
their noctual services, made them
drink the infusion of coffee upon the
reports of shepherds, who observed
that their flocks were more lively af-
ter browsing On the fruit of that plant.
It's reputation spread through the adj
iacent countries, and in about two hum
dred years it had reached Paris. A
single plant brought there in 17l4, be-
came the parent stock Ofall the French
coffee plantations in the West Indies.
The Dutch introduced it into Java and
the East Indies, and the French and
Spanish all over South America and
the West Indies. The extent of the
consumption now can hardly be real
lied. The United States alone annu-
ally consume it at the cost, on its land
ing, of from fifteen to sixteen millions
of dollars.

There are lao, 900 saloons in the coun-
try, against 128, 600 schools, and only
81, ZOO churches. Manufacturers and
sellers Of strong drink, 500, ,0O0-twelve
times the number of clergyman, four
times the teachers, nearly double all
the lawyers, physicians, teachers, and
ministers combined. In these saloons
there are $500, 900 daily customers, one
in seven of the whole population! OF
these, 100, 900 are annually imprisoned
for crime, at an expense of 500, ,000, 900,
and 10000 go down to the drunkard's
grave, leaving 10000 beggared or
phans. Grasp these figures. An army
of topers five abreast one hundred
miles in length. A rank of beggared
widows and children stretching across
the State of Massachusetts. A file of
men seventy-fve miles i'm length,
marching steadily down to the grave,
three every minute through the year.
This awful column in it's ceaseless
tramp, tramp of death, whence it is re-
cruited? AS this years 100000 goes
down, another 10000 is pressing in to
fill their places, and another back of
that, and another pouring down from
every hamlet and hillside in the coun-
try, a reeling, cursing, shrieking crowd
of deinonized men, speeding by their
own hands into eternity.-[COr. of Con-

Don't DO 1t.

Don't expect man to practice all he
breaches. Eminent physicians will
not swallow their own nostrums.
Don't imagine that you are better
than your fellows. There are no re-
served seats in Heaven.
Don't let your wealth Initiate you.
Rich men sometimes die of smallpox.
Don't spend your days in vain re-
grets. The deepest wound will leave
but the faintest scar, if from this hour
you do your life's work well.
Don't expect your pastor to be per-
feet. Charcoal will mar the beauty of
the lily.
Don't eat fish for brain food. A hen
never scratches for chickens before
they are hstched.
DON'T make a great noise in the
world. A train is not moved by the
sound of the whistle.
Don't spend too much time adorning
your person. A wax figure cannot re-
cite the multiplication table.
Don't dream that your child was
born to adorn profession. You can't
make fence post out of a shoe peg.
Don't expect an editor to be very de-
votional on Sunday. Every Saturday
night there's the devil to psy at the
office.
Don't bother your brains about the
acute augles' ofa billiard table. Bet
ter take your cue froman industrious
mechanic.
Don't fill your head with dime nov
els. Old paper is worth two cents per
pound.

The Baltimore american saws: Who
shall reconcile the political differences
of political Democracy? In one State
it is a hard-money party, and in an
other it runs wild for imitation; here it
raises its voice for protection of Ameri-
can industry, and over the way it an
athematiZes tariffs and proclaims free
trade the panacea for all our financial
and industrial troubles. This diversi-
ty of principles makes it troublesome
for the public men OF the party to know
exactly when they are on or off of its
platform. Here, for instance, is the
distinguished representative of the
Democracy of the Second Congressional
District of this State. The other day
he rose in his place at Congress and
made speech in favor of increasing
the duty ,,on chromate and bi-chromate
of potassa. He championed it as a
Maryland industry; declared that his
constituents were interested in it to
the extent of a $4,000 monthly pay
roll; denounced the foreign monOpO-
lists who were striving to crush ont
this struggling industry which appeal
ed to Congress for protection, and patri-
Otically pictured the time when we
would snap our bi-chromated fingers in
the face of the British lion. Mr.. O'Bri-
en- was successful, and las doubtless
congratulated himself on that success.
But now comes the New York World,
supposed to be the clock by which
Democrats take their political meals,
and with brutal insolence characterizes
Mr.. O'Brien as Il sort of half-baked
member supDOsed TO rpDresent the
Democracy of Maryland, who has sew
eral times tried the patience of the
House with ridiculous propositions and
still more ridiculous speeches" Will
the blood of the O'Brien's stand that ?
'Halfbaked,' indeed! The World is in
dense ignorance, Mr.. O'Brien is the
most thoroughly done Democrat in his
district.
