1rnMs WORTH READING.

BE hearty in your salutation, dis
Greet and sincere in your friendship.
Do not envy; for it cannot bene-
fit you,V nor can it injure those
against whom II is cherished.
Avoid telling tales, which is like
firing arrows in the dark; you know
not into whose heart they may fall
The true generosity of the heart
is more displayed by deeds of minor
kindness, than by acts which may
partake of os.entation.
PoliIeness is the poetry OF conduct
and like poetry, j. has many
qualities. Let not your politeness
be too fiOrid, but of that gentle kind
which indicates a refined nature.
Remember that the social ele-
mcnts, like the air we breathe, are
purified by motion. Thought il
lumines thought, and smiles win
smiles.
BE punctual; one minute too late
has lost many golden opportunity.
Besides which, the want of pune
suality is AN atfront offered 10 the
person 10 whom your presence is
due.
Avoid talking about yourself,
praising your own words. and pro
claiming your own deeds. Ii they
are good they will proclaim them
selves; 1t bad, the less You say of
them the better.
Avoid disputation for The mere
sake of argument, The man who
disputes obstinateIy, and in bigoi
ed spirit, is like the man who would
stop the fountain from which ne
should drink. Earnest discussion is
commendable; but factious argu-
ment never vet produced a goad re I.

it is du,, to God sisd 10 man The

THE RUM rrEND.

Oh, father in heaven i! why hast
thou permitted the rum fiend TO curse
our land! Why hast thou permit
ted him to destroy so many of the
human family Why hast thou per-
mitted him to make desolate and lay
waste SO many homes; quench
mothers love; to turn a father into
a demon a child into a murderer
The rum fiend stalks forth by day
and night, and along his Shiny trail
thousands OF human skeletons lie
bleaching. See the mother with
child in her arms The love for
that child beams in brightness on her
face. She hugs it closely to her bos-
ON lest harm comes upon it. And
its face is like an angels, so pure, so
calm, SO beautiful. Oh, tell me, can
you, will the rum fiend lay hold up
on that little one in after yearsY
Will the soul be destroyed and made
an abiding place for devilsY Will
that life be one of misery, desolation
and loathsomeness I Will those lips
bIaspheme the name of God, and
those hands raise the assassin's
knife 7 Heaven forbid and yet
while rum is abroad none are safe, no,
not one. 1t makes ones blood grow
cold to know that this great enemy
of man--the enemy empowered by
the arch fend himself to devastate
shis fair earth lis doing his work so
well cutting down men and women
and children by the hundreds and
thousands. The question comes up
here: What are we going to do
with if Will we be content with
lAboring in our lodge rooms week af-
ter week, and slumbering unconcern>
eddy upon this great volcano of death
and destruction until at last it bursts
forth in a torrent that will destroy
and damn millions of soulsY 1t must
be driven from off the earth, back
to its dark abOdes, even to hell itself,
where with devils it will find fit
companionship.
