Whisky and Cheese.

Thirty-one years ago, said John B.. Cough, at the annual meeting of the National Temperance Society, spoke for the first time in New York city, in the old Broadway Tabernacle. I re- member it very we'll. Dr. Bacon, of New Haven, made magnificent speech. When I was introduced, people went out; I was unknown. I have been working since in the temperance move ment, and shave never wearied of it. I have enjoyed tonight feast that l seldom have the privilege of enjoying : hearing others speak; and we have heard most eloquent words. We are battling the drink. We are not waging war with mems opinions we are fighting the drink for that which it produces. An ILL. D. was dining at the table of a lady who refused to tolerate one drop of wine or spirits on her table, and who, when about to entertain the British no- bility, as she did, and they inquired !: "Can you entertain Lord So-and-so 2" replied: "I can but it must be under stood that neither wine, ale, nor spirits are offered in my house. This gentle man referred to was at her dinner table, and said "I enjoy glass of wine, and have got 1n the habit Of using 1t. " She says CT shall give you no wine. ' "Now," he says, "by-and-bye you will take from us all our luxrlries. I think wine promotes digestion. Did you ever hear of a man who could not eat cheese without it hurting him; then suppose you would deny me cheese She re- piled: "Did you ever hear of man standing upon gallows-tree, and say ing to the witnesses of the execution :: Now, my friends, take warning by me and never eat any cheese? or did you ever read in the newspapers when aman is murdered in our streets that those men had been eating cheese2' Show to me that cheese produces eight-tenths of the crime, seven-eights of the pauper- ism, one-half of the lunacy; show to me that cheese produces the result that drink does, and by the grace of God I will battle the cheese just as hard as the Wine.''

Who'll Cover That |?

In one of the colored churches of Charleston the preacher adopted novel way of raising the funeral expenses of a criminal sentenced to be hanged. Stand ing amid his books and pulpit drapery, with 8 hymn-book in one hand and a fve-dollar bill in the other, he invited contributors to the fund. Laying down his fve-dollar bill on the pulpit, he said "Who'n cover that?" The amount was soon covered by one of the Croesuses of the flock. Down went a dollar bill followed by the exclamation: "Who'll cover that 2" The amount was covered, and so on he went until he reached fifty cents. On laying down this piece of fractional currency, he said: "I now come to the old ladies; surely one of them will cover that amount" One of the elder sisters tottered up to the pull pit, and with an evident air of satisfac- tion covered the fifty cents with cur rency of the same denomination. G Now for the Sunday-school children" said the preacher, as he laid down ten-cent bill. How many of the lambs will cover that 2" and the original ten-cent bill was buried in heap of similar bits of the nations promises to pay. By this novel method goodly amount was realized

A Healthy Brain.

No sound working brain without enough good blood to build it, repair it, and furnish the materials for those mus cular changes which are the conditions essential to all nervous actions, intellec- tual and volitional, as well as those of lower grade. No good blood without a proper amount of proper food and air to furnish materials, and healthy organs to reduce 8 sufficient quantity of these materials to state fit to enter the circula- tion. No healthy organs, strictly speak ing, except from healthy parents, and developed and maintained by proper stimuli, nourishment, and use. No healthy parents-no help for it. We are, of course, applying the term healthy to the brain, as signifying much more than freedom from disease. A healthy brain should show, by the outward signs of clear, easily working intelligence, we'll balanced faculties, and commanding will, that it's several organs, if such there be, or it's several modes of action, if it works as whole, are properly de- veloped and adjusted by themselves and ia relation to sseh other.

That's Enough of That.

You may think the word that of very little consequence.
 If you will read on, however, you will soon see that that is of considerable importance.
 You will see that that that, which is used in the second sentence, is used as 8 noun.
 And we will say still further that that that, that has been spoken of last in the third sentence is also noun.
 We gave the fourth sentence out one time to a gentleman to parse, and a friend afterward remarked: "That that that, that that gentleman parsed was parsed incorrectly"
 The first gentleman retorted: That, that that that, that that gentleman parsed, was rather clumsy sentence. D
 Another one said "That, 'that, that that that, that t1at was still more clumsy sentence
 A lady present ventured the sugges- tion: "That, that that that that, that that that that gentleman made use of was correct grammatical sentence"
 That's enough.

An Historical Section

The New York Herald says: There are few spots around which cluster so many historical associations as the little plot of ground between the lakes on which stood old Fort Ticonderoga, Vermont. The whole region is a his toric one, from Grown Point, at the head of Lake Champlain, to Fort Will liam Henry, at the foot of Lake George, and Fort Edward on the Hudson; but Fort 'tTy" is the historical, as it is the geographical, center of that wild and mountainous country which makes the waters so romantic. It was here that the English general Abercrombie met with that overwhelming disaster which gave to the name of Montcalm an un- dying fame. No severer struggle ever took place between the opposing forces of England and France, and the Eng fish arms never suffered a more com plete reverse in the fortunes of war. Out of sixteen thousand men, two thou sand were killed, it may be said, in one hour, and under circumstances where courage or fear were alike l1navailing. The celebration of the Ethan Allen cen tennial recalls the terrible butchery which took place on this work nine years before Allen and his, Green noun tain boys wrested it from the British, who had captured it at the cost of two expeditions and one startling calamity
 Not only did the old world contend on these lakes and mountains for empire in the new, but it was here that the shot fired by the /" embattled farmers" at Concord bridge had it's first fruits 'in the name of the great Jehovah and the Continental Congress. It is meetthat after the lapse of hundred years we should remember all these things, and of all our recoAections there is not 8 prouder one than the remembrance of Ethan Allan's glory on the spot of Abercrombie's shame historic Ticon- deroga. ,~.' 7''

Valentin was averse from pro- voking conjugal quarreling, he and his friend Stooz resolved to go on by them selves. y.est.a -... r Gaaz .'7,tet
 As luck would have it, the very first house they went into was the inn where General von Werder's headquarters were posted. Valentin boldly ordered some- thing to eat; he was served by sthe son of the house," and this young man he took into his confidence, begging him to procure, a guide. ., The young, man tried and failed, no one would venture i; but for three days and two nights he concealed Valentin in the corner of Q lumber room. From this coign of van- tage he could overhear the conversation of the soldiers-once or twice he heard Won Werder himself-and in time he came to know how the troops passed the day, and to judge of the best opportuni
 ty for his attempt. On the night of the third day Valentin quilted his hiding place, and without Intolerance walked along until he got near to the first trench of the German lines. Then he suddenly set off running, leaped the first trench, and found himself rolling in a potato field. Getting on his feet again, he made for an opening in the second parallel, across field of maize. By this time, however, the alarm had been given, and on all sides he heard the sentinels firing. It was nine o'clock at night, and, the darkness aiding him, he crept, centre te7re, across the field of maize, until, after quarters of an hour, he found himself on the banks of the Aar. He swan across; he made his way into one of the flooded losses of the outlying for tifcations he called to his country men in the lunette. At first they fired on him :; but, strange to say, he escaped thatdanger also, and at last succeeded in getting into the city and presenting his credentials. What was the result 2 So far as the siege was concerned, only that the inevitable was stayed off for week. Strasbot1rg had to capitulate all the same; and Valentin was among the pris- goners who were detained at Ehrenbreit- stein. But the results of such an ex- ploit, great or little, neither enhance nor detract from it's noble seH-devotion and brilliant courage. '.'@ ''..' -.
