From Scribner's MOnthly.l
The Great Temperance Move
ment,

For years, and years, and weary,
suffering years, multiplied into de
cades have the women of America
waited to see that traffic destroyed,
which annually sends sixty thousand
of their sons, brothers, fathers and
husbands into the drunkards grave.
They have been impoverished, dis
graced, tortured in mind and body,
beaten, murdered. Under the i'm
pulse of maddening liquors the hands
that were pledged before Heaven to
provide for, and protect them, have
withdrawn from them the means of
life, or smitten them in the dust.
Sons whom they have nursed upon
their bosoms with tenderest love and
countless prayers, have grown into
beasts, of whom they are afraid, or
have sunk into helpless and pitiful
slavery. They have been compelled
to cover their eyes with shame in the
presence of fathers whom it would
have been bliss for them to hold in
honor. They have been compelled
to bear children to men whose habits
had untitled them for parentage-
children not only tainted by disease,
but endowed with debased appetites.
They have seen themselves and their
precious families thrust into social
deeroda+ion. anh ont nh fnrnunr from
ali desirable life by the vice Of the
men they loved What the women
of this country have suffered from
drunkenness, no mind, however sym
pathetic, can measure, and no pen,
however graphic, can describe. 1t
has been the fathomable black gulf
into which infatuated multitudes of
men have thrown their fortunes, their
health and their industry, and out OF
which have come only,-in fire and
stench,-dishonor, disease, crime,
misery, despair and death. 1t is the
abomination of denominations, the
hell of hells!
For weary, despairing years, tney
have waited to see the reform that
should protect them from further
harm. They have listened TO & lec-
lures, they have signed pledges tney
have encouraged temperance socie,
ties. they have asked for, and secured
ieoislation. and all to no practical
GOOD end. The politicians nave
9laved them false; the officers OF the
law are unfaithful; the government
revenue thrives on the thriftiness OF
their curse; multitudes of the clergy
are not only apathetic in their pull
pits. but self-indulgent in their social
habits; newspapers do not help, but
rather hinder them, the liquor inter
est. armed with the money that
should have bought them prosperity,
organizes against them; fashion OPP
poses them; million fierce appetites
are arrayed against them, and, losing
ali faith in men what can they do:
There is but one thing for them to
| do. There is but one direction in
which they can look, and that is up
ward! The women's temperance
movement, begun and carried on by

A Sermon in a Paragraph.

President Porter, of Yale, gave the
following advice to the students OF
that institution, the other day:
young men, you are the architects
of your own fortunes. Rely on your
own strength of body and soul. Take
for your star self-relianee. Sub
scribe on your banner Luck is fool,
Pluck is a hero Don't take too
much advice-keep at your helm and
steer your own ship, and remember
that the great art of commanding IS
to take a fair share of the work.
Think well of yourself. Strike out.
Assume your own position. Put po-
tatOes in a cart, over a rough road,
and the small ones go to the bottom.
Rise above the enviOus and jealous.
Fire above the mark you intend to
hit. Energy, invincible determine
tion, with right motive, are the le-
vers that move the world. Don't
drink. Don't chew. Don't smoke.
Don't swear. Don't deceive. Dun
read novels. Don't marry until you
can support a wife. BE in earnest
Be self-reliant. Be generous. Be
civil. Read the papers. Advertise
your business. Make money and do
good with it. Love your God ana
fellow-men. Love truth and virtue.
Love your country and obey It's
| laws"

gitimate business or profession would
be wrong. We, as farmers. cannot
get wealthy by our occupation; no
man can by his own individual labor.
Should he get the highest price going
for his produce, and live and labor to
three score and ten, vet he would not
be wealthy. Wealth is amassed by
aecumulating the labor of others. If
it is wrong for companies to work 80,
100 or 1000 men, and amass wealth
from their labor. it is equally wrong
for farmer to work one or more men,
and pocket the profits. Suppose the
farmers make a var with the mOnOp-
olies, what will it cost, and who will
win2 600 or 800 Oranges in Ohio,
say 800 to each for first years ex-
pense-$60,O00 to $S0,000-large as
that amount may appear, plenty com
panies can raise $l,00O,O 900 if neees-
sary, to fight you with.
Another view of the subject looks
very much as if the Grangers were
trying to destroy a great evil by ere
ating still greater one. What could
be a greater monopoly than to COM
bine the whole farming class, and
they dictate to the balance of man
kind the terms upon which the neces-
saries of life could be had by the con-
sumner, regardless of the law of sup
ply and demand, and one, if carried
to satisfy the avarice of some, would
entail more misery than anything
conceivable.
But am sorry to admit that COM
binations are the order of the day.
Everything is drifting in that direc-
ton. Even the rag and glass pick
ers of New York City are organized.
Different interests will next combine
on the plea of self-protection, and
that is the strongest plea to my mind
in favor of the Grangers. 1t very
likely has many good qualities as a
friendly, social meeting of neighbors.
Much of that may be neutralized by
sordid, selfish aspirants that are a
part of us, (the people. We are all
more or less selfish. Who among us
(Grangers included) that would not
doff the robes of the plowman if we
were sure we could make money fast
er and easier, and become milliOnaires
at some other occupation? Who
would blame us2 Many of our best
farmers are constantly doing so, and
we who can't make the point had bet
ter
Stick close to our farms, we'll suffer no
loss,
The stone that keeps rolling will gather
no moss.
Another advantage to be derived
from our organization, in which | feel
great interest-we can learn and
improve in transacting public bust
ness get some knowledge of
properly conducting the same; be-
come accustomed to speak in public
without choking down, (as Tom Cor
win termed it.. too well know its
influence, am a slave to embarrass-
ment Let MS all take part, and ac-
quire habit to make ourselves as
much at home to speak in public as
we are following our daily labor.
In conclusion, let me say to one and
all-let us strive to make our Club a
success.

He wanted my name and l gave it
to him. Then I left him standing by
thescounter, so happy that almost
envied him, and many years passed
before saw him again.
Last year l went to Europe on one
of the finest vessels that ever plough
ed Che Atlantic. We had very beau
tifh weather until very near the end
of the voyage; then came terrible
stofm that would have sunk all on
hoard had it not been for the captain.
Every spar was laid low, the rudder
was almost useless, and great leak
had shown itself, threatening to fill
the ship. The crew were all strong,
willing men, and the mates were prac-
tical seamen of the first class; but
after pumping for one whole night
and the water still gaining upon
them, they gave up in despair and
prepared to take to the boats, though
theS might have known no small boat
could ride such sea. The captain,
who had been below with his charts,
now came up; he saw how matters
stood, and, with a voice that | heard
distinctly above the roar of the tenn
pest, ordered every man to his post.
1t was surprising to see those strong
men bow before the strong will of
their captain and hurry back to the
pumps. The captain then started
below to examine the leak. AS he
passed me asked him If there was
any hope. He looked at me and
then at the other passengers who had
crowded up to hear the reply, and
said rebukingly:
''Yes, sir, there is hope as long as
oneinch of this deck remains above
water: when see none of it, then /
shah abandon the vessel, and not be-
fore, nor any of my crew, sir. Every
thing shall be done to save it, and If
we fail it will not be from inaction.
Beae'a hand, every one of you, at the
pumps"
Thrice during the day did we de-
spair; but the captains dauntless
courage, perseverance and powerful
willksaastered every man on board.
and we went to work again.
"I will land you safely at the dock
in Liverpool. said he, ''if you will be
men,"
And he did land us safely; but the
vessel sunk moored to the dock.
The captain stood on the deck of the
sinking vessel, receiving the thanks
and blessings of the passengers as
they passed down the gang-plank. /

From the Springfield (Mass.) Republi-
can.
About thirty yearsago, said Jutfgs
p, l stepped into a book store in Gin
cinnati, in search of some books that
| wanted. While there, little rag
ged boy, not over twelve years of age
came in and inquired for geOgra-
ply.
'Plenty of them," was the sales
mans reply.
"How much do they cost?'
Zone dollar, my lad"
Il did not know they were SC

even opened the door, but closed ii
again and came back.

he; 'could you let me have geogra,
ply, and wait a little while for the
rest of the money!"
How eagerly his little bright eyes
looked for an answer! and how he
seemed to shrink within his ragged
clothes, when the man, not very kind
lv, told him he could not. The disap-
pointed little fellow looked up to me
with very poor attempt at smile,
and left the store. l followed and
overlook him.
"And what now?" asked.

"Shall l go too, and see how you
succeed"
''Oh, yes, if you like said he in
surprise.
"Four different stores l entered
with him, and each time he was re
fused.
"Will you try again." asked.
.''Yes, sir, shall try them all, or
should not know whether / could gel

We entered the fifth store, and the
little fellow walked up manfully and
told the gentleman just what he
wanted, and how much money he
had.

The Wonderful Echo in Colo
RADIO Canon.
Correspondence from Powell's Explor-
ing Expedition

ing EXpeultlOhsJ
Echo Park, where we remained one
week, lies at the juncture of Green
and Bear Rivers, and takes its name
from the remarkable echo that may
be heard there. When a gun is dis
charged, total silence follows the re-
port for moment; then, with start
ling suddenness, the echo is heard
seemingly at a great distance-say
five miles to the south-whence it
comes back, in seperate and distinct
reyerberations, as if leaping from
glen to glen. Louder and quicker
grows the sound until apparently, di-
rectly opposite, when a full volume OF
sound is returned; then once more
the echo is heard, like the swapping OF
a cap, far to the eastward.
