You mustn't expect your children
to be better than you are yourself.
You can ask nothing more of them
than to learn the lessons you set them.

HISTORY OF ALCOHOL.

Alcohol was invented $50 years
ago. in Arabia. Ladies used it with
powder to paint themselves that
they might appear more beautiful,
and this powder was called alcohol
During the reign of William and
Mary, an act was passed encourag
ing the manufacture of spirits. Soon
after, intemperance and prohigacy
prevailed to such an extent that the
retailers of Intoxicating drinks put
up signs in public places, informing
the people that they might get
drink for penny, and have some
straw to get sober on. In the six
teenth century, distilled spirits spread
over the continent of Europe
About this time it was introduced
into the colonies, as the United
States was then called. The first
notice we have of its public life, was
among the Iaborers in the Hungarian
mines, in the fifteenth century. In
l75I. it was used by the English
soldiers as a cordial The alcohol
from Europe was made from grapes,
and sold in Italy and Spain as a
medicine. The Genoese afterwards
made it from grain, and sold it as a
medicine in bottles, and sold under
the name of the "water Of life. =
Until the sixteenth century 1T was
kept by apothecaries as a medicine
During the reign of Henry VIII
brandy was first known in ireland,
and soon its alarming effects induced
the Governor to pass a law to pro
hibit its manufacture. About l2C
years ago it was used as a beverage
especially, the soldiers in the Eng
lish colonies in North America, under
the preposterous notion that 1t pre-
vented sickness and made men fear
less in the field of battle. 1t was
looked upon as a sovereign cure
Such is brief history of its intro
duction in society as a beverage, -
It's history of wretchedness, misery,
woe, crime and death, since then,
is we'll known.

A DELUsIoN.

A young man who thinks that he
can lead reckless and protligate life
until he becomes a midde-aged man,
and then repent and make a good
and steady citizen, is deluded by the
devil. He thinks that people are all
fools, destitute of memory. lie con
cIudes that when he repents every
body will forget that he was dissi-
pated wretch. This is not the case,
people remember your bad deeds and
forget your good onls. Besides, it
is no easy thing to break up in mid~
die age, bad habits that have formed
in youth When a horse contracts
the habit of baking he generally res
tains it through life. lie will often
perform well enough until the wheel
gets into deep hole, and then he
stops and holds back. Just so it is
with the boys who contract bad hab
its. They will sometimes leave off
their bad tricks and do well enough
until they get into tight place, and
then they return to the old habit of
drunkenness, not one in ev ry hun
dred dies a sober man. The onl y
way to break up bad habit is new,
er to contract it. The only way to
prevent drunkenness is never to
drink.

THE BOTTLE IN NEW YORK

Jacob Diebachs, a retired trades
man. of 205 West Tenth street, took
poison on Monday, died in agony
about twelve hours atterward. lie
was a shoemaker, and had a wife
and two sons. His sons were bars
bers, doing a moderate business -
Diebacks had been for long time
out of employment, and for several
weeks previous to his death he drank
steadily until he fell into state OF
dependency. On Monday after
noon he went to a grocery and calls
ed for a glass of water, and taking
from his pocket a small vial, he
poured the contents into the glass
and drank it. He then confessed
that the drug was Paris green.
Two little girls, neatly dressed
and pretty, gave testimony in the
Special Sessions yesterday that sent
their mother to the penitentiary.-
The two children, Johanna and
Elizabeth, both work at artificial
flower making. Eight years ago
their mother, Mary Carr, abandoned
her husband, al d up to the last
three months lived with another
man. Then her husband died, and
she returned to her home, where she
lived Tor several weeks, drinking to
intoxicate almost every day, and
spending in debauchery all the
money her children earned, one
making - and the other s. a week.
Justice Duffy sentenced her to six
months in the penitentiary. N. Y.
