THRILLING STORIES were told by reform
cd drunkapls at Mr.. MOOdy's temperance
meeting in Chicago last Thursday. One of
the witnesses stated that he had been drink
ing for ~ years, and had not stopped longer
Than SIX months at a time. He had taken
the oath time after time. lie had gone be-
fore a justice OF the peace, and had signed the
pledge with his own blood, drawn from his
arm by pcnknifc. He had sworn not to
drink for q year, under the penalty that he
was to be SEM 70 the penitentiary as a per
jurcd man. He had broken the oath, and
only escaped The penitentiary by stepping
out of town. He had committed every crime
but murder He had broken up half dozen
happy homes. Two years ago he had mar
riod q Christian girl, and made her life mis-
cradle He had seen her walking about the
house with only one shoe, and with tattered
clothes. and even then he stole the little
change there was in her pocket and spent il
for drink. Four weeks ago ne had wandered
INTO the Tabernacle, and he knew that now
his sins were forgiven. He had lost his ap-
petite not only for drink but for tobacco.

On the Sea snore.

Thus meIliAuously does :" Gath +"
discourse upon Far Rockaway:
The beach is like a FURNISHED piece
of plated silverware, and whoever
walks upon it is seen inverted, like
a face card. The little crescent foot
of yOnder beauty is kissed by its
own reflection, and we hardly know
whether to prefer the shadow or
the substance. The branching bare
arms, like the tusks of ivory, of
yonder maiden, folded above her
head to tie her shining chignon,
flash in The mirror of the sands and
make the beach a gallery of marble
statuary. A group sit yonder with
bare legs and ankles squat on the
cleaning shield of Slick, and
some are stretched out at full
length, balanced on the tips of their
violet toes, reaching for a sea-shell.
The naked children dance inverted,
like an ubiquitous Cupid, who
really sways this society Of the sea,
and we feel his arrows in our ting
ling pulses; the chill betwixt ardor
and coyness is upon us both. Don't
deny it, Apollodorus! AS far as
the eye can see, the sea has a hui
man fringe of bathers, hanging on
to ropes, all clad in bed-ticking or
flannel. Here is a fastidious young
woman in bright red, with white
seams of tape to indicate the lines
of anatomy; we look at her a mo.
ment and suspect the perfection Of
that form. Alas! why does the
idea of corsets come like a mean
suspicion across our dreams!
