The Evils of Indulgence.

Nothing exhibits more clearly the neces-
sity of resisting the beginning Of evil than
contemplation Of the ruin and misery men
bring upon themselves. 1t Is vainly i'm
apined in youth that time and oppor-
tunties once lost may be afterwards recov-
cred at will, and that, after having indulged
in a course of folly, a man may turn to
virtue and well-doing when he pleases.
This falacy leads many impercep-
tibly from step to step In the downward
and treachcrous steep OF vice, till reason
and conscious are alike unheeded, and there
is ultimately no effort because there is no
inclination to rcturn. We do not mean to
say that there are not many with strength
of mind and purpose who resolutely aban-
don evil courses and live exemplary lives,
but they are SO rare as to offer no induce
ments to follow their examples, and only
serve to show us how desperate is the risk
they run. Giving away to sinful courses
has been aptly compared to being carried
forward by 4 current swiftly, easily pleas
autlv-it is not till we make headway
against it that we find how hard is the task.
Habitnal indulgence binds its votary with
a chain, the firmncss of whose grasp he be-
gins to realize when he attempts to break it.
There is lust this difference in the abandon
ment of evil habits, that the longer the
effort is DELAYED the more difficult the task
becomes. 1t is thus made evident that
the best security for virtuous life is to be-
pin betimes. The inclination being led
Alright, early habit makes the performance
of duty easy and pleasant. The most
casual observations of the wrecks around US
convinces us that indulgence III forbidden
pleasures is the destroyer Of peace and for
tune, of character and seIf-respect, and that
without good conscience, properly-goy-
erned mind, and a welldirected life, discon-
tent and disappointment will blast every
enjoyment. The derelct is generally an
| object of interest and concern to some one.
In how many houses is the skeleton way
ward and disobcdient son? To him who
'knows the right but still the wrong pur.
sues' indulgence in forbidden pleasure
docs not yield the qualification which 1t
promised. There is always more or less a
feeling of degradation and Of self-int1lcted
ostracsm, which all his boisterous nlirth
and the boldness inspired by the presence
and applause of kindred associates fail ell
trely to dissipate How often is he sud
denly arrested by the thought of an anxious
father, weeping mother or distressed wife
Their prayers aud tears seem to haunt him
The black sheep i'll the family, although
his name is not often heard, is more an Oh
iect of anxiety than are steady, stay
at-home, well-to-do boys and girls who
nestle under the parental roof-tree.-IUts

A StunendOus Work.

The surveys and calculations for the pro-
ircted tunnel between France and England
are being quietly but actively proceeded
with The company having the scheme i'll
charge are said to have plenty of money
and a liberal charter. They expect to de-
monstratc the feasibility of tunnel so
strongly that they will have no difficulty in
getting, in addition to subsidies from France
and En- gland, any funds they may need.
The idea of a tunnel under the sea natu-
rally strikes the popular imag nation, and
most people fancy that to pass under the
English Channel requires to burrow in the
bowels of the earth to depths hitherto un-
known. AS regards the Channel this Is a
mistake For instance there will be lar
smaller distance between the roof Of the
submarine tunnel and the surface OF the
water than there is between the roof of the
sub-Alplne tunnel and the summit of Mount
Gents. 1t is hardly necessary to say that
the tunnel must be excavated greatly be
low the bottom ot the sea, SO that its roof
should be of such thickness as to be thor
oughly impervious to water There is, i'll
| deed something rather awful in the ldea
that millions upon millions of tons Of water
will be weighing on the subterranean gal
! lery. But IN point of fact it is an idea and
nothing more. The pressure Of water OF
/ the tunnel will be absolutely MT, and the
ONLY pressure that will have to be provided
against will be the pressure of su per-ncum
/ bent earth. Moreover it must not be for
gotten that there are mines in Enyian|
whose works extend for two miles under
the sea, aud in one OF Cornish mines til,
crust of earth between the workings an'
the water is 80 thin that the men can dis
tinctlv hear the rumbling of the shingle a:
it is rolled backward and forward bv the
waves. The roof of the Ang glo-French tun
nrl however, will he thick enough to ex
cludc al oceanic noises; upwards of ls
feet of chalk and clay will divide the tul
nell from the water. In addition, it i
hardly necessary to say that it will be care
fully brickcl up; in fact an earthquak
itself could hardly impair its safety. !
had been originally intended to constrac
two enormous Shafts close to the shore
through which passengers anil goods woul
have to be let down, shipped on board tin
submarine train and then hoistcd up ayair
, when they had been conveyed acros.
This plan has now been abandoned. 1t ha
been determined to prolong the tunnel fa
. enough inland on both sides of the channe
. so rs to enab" the journey to be efftcte,
without a break. A gentle incline wi
: gradually lead the train from the Cont
nent to the submarine portion of the perm;

Sleeping with his Equal.

A certain hotel not a Thousand miles i'"''
Fayetteville recently had for Its gueS'
sanctimonious-lookingP Puritan from tae oI't
end of Massachusetts, who took grea' l'''''l9
to inoratiate himself with the col"rea l'"
ple. and instil into their minds the odto"S
doctrines of negro equality. 1he Wv
Rights bill was his favorite hobby, and he
took occasion whenever a suitable oPP"r-.
tunity occurred, to whisper into the ears oil
all negroes that came within bis reach tha'
he considered :hem his equals III every
way.
The porter of the hotel is burly negro
named Joe, who is as greasy ami odorous
an African as ever impaired hlgh naVor
to the Summer breeze, and the sanity scala
wag from Massachusetts had been using
him tor a long time as milestone TO sharP
en- his abominable theories on.
But Joe is sensible darkey, albeit he IS
not the best fellow in the world to rub one :
nose against, and he has pretty correct
idea of a negro's place, which kept him
from being gullcd by his wonld-be white
brother. Besides Joe is attached to the
landlord of the hotel, and he unbosomed
himself to his employer one evening and
related all that the insidious Yankee
had said on the subject of Summers
legacy and negro equality. The land
lord was thoughtful moment, and then
exclaimed:
"Joe. Pll give YOU two dollars tomorrow
morning if you will sleep with that fellow
tonight"
Joe's eyes twnkled like stars, and he
quickly responded:
Oats bargain, Marse Jim, fore God
it is.''
That night the meek and unsuspecting
white friend of the race Of Ham was just
crawling into bed when Joe slid into the
room, humming "John Browns body am a
smoulderin' III de dus'," and commenced
shedding his clothes without further cere-
mony. The amazed Puritan started up in
| bed, his eyes standing out from his head
like a couple OF door knobs, and trembllngly ly
inquired:
my colored friend, what are you going
to do?''
Joe pulled his shirt over his head, gave 8
tremendous yawn, set few thousand odors
af1oat and made leap for the bed, scream
ing az he went:
1'rse gwine to spend de night wild my
ekalr'
The Mortified disciple of Sumner gave {
! veil that would have made a Piutc Indians
hair curl, tore himself from Joe's perspirinG
but fond embrace, leapcd from the bed
broke from the door with a caudle appen
dage of his shirt floating like Snmme
cloud behind him, and fell into the arms {"
the landlord, who, attended by lev
friends, was enjoying the scene as only
! decent white man could.
Next morning Joe received his money
but the sanity sneak from Massachusetts
was not there to see it.-FdyetteChte E1
