not informed, but he was told by him

impatient to find him, started on a

about an hours absence returned with
the information that w. +. Cochrane

HOUSE PLANTs.-Most of our plants
are injured by too much heat. For a
general collection of house plants it lis
not best to allow the thermometer to be
above seventy, and if they could be
kept in room where the thermometer
would not range much above sixty-fve
it would be the better. In the night
time fifty is enough. Give little fresh
air every fine day. and all the sunlight
attainable. An effort should be made
to give moisture to the atmosphere, for
our own good as well as the health of
the plants. This can be done in various
ways by evaporating water; but when
the plants are in separate apartment
like a little greenhouse, it can be done
more conveniently and effectually al
though this separate apartment be only
bay window, with glass doors sepa-
rating it from the living room. In this
place water can be used freely. by syr-
inging, etc., and moist atmosphere
preserved The temperature, with this
arrangement, can be kept lower than
would be comfortable in the living room,
and the plants are saved from dust and
many evils which we manage to endure
and live, but which generally prove tee
much for the plants.-James Viok.

DRINK BUT REMEMBER.

If you think it is your duty to drink
intoxicating liquors, by all means do SO.
On no account violate your conscientious
convictions, but while you raise the
cup to your lips, remember that this
draught represents the bread of some
starving brother; for the food of at
least six million persons is yearly grasp
ed by the malster and distiller, and its
nourishment destroyed.
Remember that SO long as you are in
health the liquors are unnecessary; g.
900 medical men have asserted it, and
hundreds of thousands of teetotallers
proved it.
Remember that most persons who act
as you do injure their health and short
en- their lives by so doing.
Remember that not drunkenness alone,
but drinking. fills our jails and peni-
tentiaries. our poor-houses and our lu-
natic asylums; employs our coroners
and our hangmen and works mischief
incalculable on all ranks and both sexes
Of which no human institution takes
cognizance.
Remember that drinking retards edu-
cation, industry, and every branch of
political and social improvement.
Remember that multitudes yearly die
a drunkard's death, and so meet drunk
ards doom.
Remember that every year multitudes
! fall from ya,...- els-~te" -anAs re-
cruit the wasted army of drunkards.
Remember that every drunkard once
tried to follow the example you set, and
on trial fell from his slippery ground
into the whirlpool of intemperance.
Remember that if you sanction the
custom you are answerable for its fruits.
Remember that the weak and tempted
ones look to you; and that under God
it depends on you whether they may be
drunkards or sober men.
Remember that Ito him that knoweth
to do good and doeth it not, to him it il
SIM" and that there Is "woe for that
man through whom offences come to the
4
little ones"
Remember that you cannot be neutral
and you will be unable to. plead ignO
rance.
Remember that all this weight of re
sponsibility rests with you, as you rails
that cup, if you think it right; but W
envy not you conscience.

is suspended on our decision. The
question is continually before us, san1
an answer must be had. 1t is impera-
tive. A neglect or failure to decide
in the affirmative necessitates a decision
in the negative. When our fellow-men
present questions of Importance we give
them respectful hearing. Shall we be
less respectful to God What astonish-
ing and daring presumption Men would
not brook many refusals. Christ has
borne with us times without number,
but he will not always bear thus. There
is point of forbearance beyond which
God can not go; and when we consider
how often we have already refused him,
we do not know how soon that point
may be reached. "See that ye refuse
not him that speaketh." Hebrews xii

CHEERFUL WOMEN.

In marrying, men should seek happy
women. They make terrible mistake
when they marry for beauty, or for tai
ent or for style; the sweetest wives are
those who possess the magic secret of be-
ing happy under any and all circum-
stances. Rich or poor, high or low, it
makes no difference, the bright little
fountain bubbles up just as unsteady in
their hearts. Nothing ever goes wrong
with them. no trouble IS serious for
Thorn to make the best of it, Was
ever the stream of calamity SO dark and
deep. that the sunlight of happy face
falling across its turbid tide would not
wake an answering CLEAN I? Why, these
joyous tempered people don't know half
the good they do. No matter how cross
and grabbed they feel, no matter if your
brain is full of meditation on "affiicting
dispensations," and your stomach with
medicines. pills and tonics just one Of
those CHEEKY little women talking to you
and we are not afraid to wager anything
she can cure you. The long drawn lines
about the mouth will relax-the cloud
of settled gloom will vanish, nobody
knows where, and the first thing you
know, you will be laughing! All, what
blessings are those happy women! How
often their little hands guide the pom.

Congressman are waking up to the
necessity of prohibition at the capitol.
The House restaurant keeper challenges
the authority of the Speaker to forbid
the sale of liquors under joint rule.
The result of brief discussion of the
subject, last week, was to expose the
unmanly and cowardly practice to which
Representatives resort in calling for
whisky and getting it under the name
of "cold tea" and "apple sauce" Of
late years liquor has been sold in the
Capitol in a stealthy manner. 1t is now
to be stopped and Vice. President Wheel
er has notified the restaurant men to
that effect. The War Department has
also prohibited the use of liquors by the
employees, during Office hours, and Gen.
eral Sherman has issued an order, warn
ing army officers who are habitually In
temperate that hereafter they may
receive the sentences imposed by
courts martial for drunkenness.

REFUSING CHRIsT.-A refusal of
Christ is much easier and yet much
more terrible thing than most men sup
pose. A neglect to hear him is refus-
al of him. Christ calls us every day
and every moment, and when he calls
we either accept or reject him. There
is no possible way of escape. There is
no neutral ground. Our lives are a
continual acceptation or rejection of
him. When Christ calls us to be his
disciples we reach wonderful crisis in
our lives. Eternal life or eternal death

In the palace of Justice, at Rome,
they take you sometimes into chamber
with strangely painted frescoes on the
ceiling and around the walls and upon
the floor, in all kinds of grOtesque forms.
You cannot reduce them to harmony,
you cannot make out the perspective, it
is all bewildering maze of confusion.
But there is one spot upon the floor Of
that room, standing upon which every
line falls into harmony; the perspective
is perfect, the picture flashes out upon
you, instinct with meaning in every line
Of panel. You can see at that point,
and that only, the design of the artist
that painted it. / believe that this
world is just as bewildering maze, look

I endeavor to gaze into the future Of

darkness and discord become light and
harmony; the mystery is solved the
night that shut me in becomes radiant
with the divine light and glory. At th,
foot of the cross art, science, literature
and history becomes at once to me ;

Gospel temperance is good thing |;
it is as good as it is old-for it is no
new thing. 1t has done great good !;
yea, an incalculable amount of good it
has accomplished during the last half
century. Apart from the many it has
reclaimed and saved. and the multitude
it has prevented from sharing the drunk
ards's fate, it has collected and promul.
gated facts, inculcated doctrines, which
have to great extent weakened or
changed the public decisions about the
nature and use of intoxicating drinks,
and wrought perfect revolution in the
customs and habits of society. But all
must admit that this gospel of moral
suasion has its limits. 1t will neither
preserve the child from danger nor the
vicious from crime.
