THE Christian Advocate, issued at
st. Louis, lets drive at certain con-
sistent members of the churches as
follows;
We are no croakers. Do not adj
mire the practice, the reputation
nor the spirit of such, but when
some men recognized as Church
members are known on the streets
and in business circles as common
swearers; when others put their
property under cover, they and their
families dress finely and appear to
live luXuriOusly; when professedly
religious parents send their children
to dancing schools, and indulge and
encourage them in worldly fTiVOlty,
such as dancing, card playing, ETC.,
in their own houses; when scores Of
Church members are as frequent, or
more frequent, at parties, balls, con-
certs and theatres than at prayer
meetings, and while almost all man
ner of self-indulgence Is Hracticed
at great expensesI when heavy debts
hang over church houses, faithful
ministers compelled to live on scanty
supplies, the missionary and other
operations of the Church anguish;
when all this and more is going on,
it is about time for somebody to call
attention to the exercise Of a little
Church discipline.
we might as well undertake to
build stone house with dry corn
stalks as to have a true Church of
God composed of unconverted,
worldly minded, pleasure seeking
men and women.

An Adventure of Admiral GOldSbOr-
OuCgh.

/ heard the other day a thrilling
incident in the life of Admiral Louis
GOldsbOrugh who died recently. In
1927, when he was but twenty-five
years of age, he was Executive Off
Ger of the ship-Of-war PorpOise,
then attached to the Mediterranean
Squadron. AT that time Greek pi
rates had grown so audaciOuS that
on one occasion they captured an
Austrian man-Of war carrying ten
guns and another an English brig,
the Comet. This last being report
to the commanding officer of the
POrpOise. Lieutent Goldsborough
was sent to retake her in night at
tack. He picked out crew of
thirty-fve officers and men and di-
viding them into four boats COM
panies started on his desperate un-
dertaking, for the Comet was in full
possession of 200 reckless men whose
trade was death. Pulling nOiSeleSS-
ly under the vessels side, the little
party boarded, and after a severe
fight succeeded in recapturing her,
but not until over hundred Greeks
were killed, on an average of about
three men to every one of the at
tacking party. Each man was a
hero, for it was a hand-to-hand
struggle for life, and many individ
ual deeds of desperate bravery were
done; for instance, the Ward-ro0m
Steward, a powerful mulatto, killed
with his own hand, eleven pirates.
Lieutenant John A. Carr, of Vir-
Oinia killed the caDtain of the gang
the young Lieutenant, whose dash
ing leadership contributed so much
to the success of the expedi-
ton, was seen everywhere tower
ing above his men ana smiting the
enemy hip and thigh.

Hunting Up Ills Record.

The HOn.,B. F. Wade's tender So
licitude for the cOlOred man i'm his
"bitterneSS of soul" letter has
prompted some iuquisitive person
to search Mr.. Wade's record and see
if he has always been so anxious on
the subject. A speech which ne de-
livered in the Senate In 1860 has
been disinterred, in which this sug-
gestive paragraph occurs "There
is in these United States race of
men who are poor, weak, uninfiu-
entail, incapable of taking care Of
themselves. / mean the free ne
groes, who are dispised by all, repu-
dated by all outcasts unon the face
of the earth, without any fault of
theirs that | know of; but they are
victims of a deep-roOted prejudice,
and / do not stand here to argue
whether that prejudice is right or
wrong. / know such to be the fact;
it is there immOvable. 1t lis perfectly
impossible that these two races can
inhabit the same place and be pros
porous and happy, l see that this
species of population are just as alb
horrent to the Southern States, and,
perhaps, more so, than to the North.
Many of those States are now, as !
think, passing unjust laws to drive
these men off or 10 subject them to
slavery, They are fiocking now In
to the free States, and we have OBJ
jections to them" AS a remedy,
Mr.. Wade advocated sending the
blacks to the tropics, where, as the
Liberia experiment has shown, they
would soon become extinct,-N, y,

MURPHY.
A Sketch of the Ohio Temperance
ADOStle. na

Thefollowing story of Mr.. Murphy
comes from a highly responsible
source, and in view of the fact that
the temperance leader will probably
visit Cincinnati, it is well to publish
brief biographical sketch of his
life, so that the public may know
who he is. He is a native of Ire
land, born some forty-one years ago,
of Catholic parents, it is said, and
came to America in 1882 Like too
many others, he early formed a de-
cided liking for rum. He was a
barkeeper. About the year 1869 he
was connected with a third-class
hotel in Portland, Me. Here he be-
came engaged in an alteration with
a man who was intoxicated, and
had insulted guest in the house,
and during the alteration Murphy
threw the drunken man down stairs.
He received serious injuries by the
fall, which resulted fatally. Muir
ply was arrested, tried and con-
victed. Hon. VIM. p. Frye con-
Quoted the prosecution. Murphy
State Prison. Here hewas convert
ed, and after being released from
prison Joined Protestant church,
and began speaking at once in be-
half of the temperance cause. For
four years, encouraged by Captain
Sturdevant, Hon. Joseph Nye, and
others, he continued his laboTs in
Maine, and met with wonderful sue
cess. To his efforts are largely due
some of the stringent temperance
legislation now in force in Maine. |
Two years or more Mr.. Murphy la
bored ZealOusly for the cause in Iowd !
and Illinois, and last year he went |
to Pittsburg. The great results
which have attended his labors |
throughout Pennsylvania are scarce !
ly known or appreciated. Armies |
of men have signed the, pledge, and
thousands of drunkards have been /
redeemed. Bar-rooms in cities and |
towns by the dozens have been |
closed. In Ohio the work is pro
crossing with vigor, and the pres
ence of Mr.. Murphy in Cincinnati,
it is thought, will add fuel to the /
flames already begun.
Personally in appearance, Mr..
Murphy is robust man, weighing
nearly 200 pounds, possessing none 1
of the gTaces of an orator, but all the
activity and untiring zeal of a
Moody. He has the look of an hon
est man, and illustrates his speeches
with many appropriate stories. He
has touching tale of his own per-
sonal experience, and that of his
suffering family, and he at once
awakens the closest attention and
the hearty sympathies of the audi
ence. Since the days of the good
Father Mathew there has been no
such successful apostle of tempe
rance as this plain, uneducated man,
whose own bitter experience is the
key to the hearts of those whom he
He believes it is a folly,
but not crime to drink. He pities,
however, the man who does drink.
He does not believe il prohibition,
it as a failure, and worse.
He does not abuse or betray in his
speeches enmity to the liquor deal
ers. He believes they, like others,
have souls and consciences. = Cinci7-

Look at the Facts,

Here Is a fact or two worth re-
membering. Georgia, Kentucky
and Missouri were all injured by the
war between the States. All of
them had to submit to the abolition
of slavery. The bonds issued by
any one of these States for one
thousand five hundred of bonds
issued by Tennessee, Only yester-
day was Louisiana able to get her
freedom, and to-day oneof her bonds
will buy two of those of Tennessee.
When we remember that we have
had exclusive control Of our affairs
in Tennessee, for Q period of eight
years, and that the destruction of
State property i'm Tennessee as COM
pared with that of Louisiana was
small, comment is unnecessary

The timber lands of the South will

valuable property, II Is estimated
that the lower peninsula of Michi-

matters, has recently published NJ
declaration that i'm Canada "thg

of to-day will see the forest lands of

The Man Who Stops His Paner.

Philip Gilbert HamertOn, i'm his
admirable papers on intellectual
Life" thus talks to a man who
stopped his paper :" newspapers
are to the civilized world what the
daily house talk is to the members
of the family-they keep our daily
interests in each, they save us from
the evils of isolation. To live as q
member of the great white race that
has filled Europe and America and
cOloniZed or conquered whatever
territory it has been pleased to oc-
cupy; to share from day to day its
Thoughts, its cares its Inspirations, it
is necessary that every man should
read his paper. Why are the French
peasants so bewildered and at sea Z?
1t is because they read a news
paper. And why are the inhabi-
tants of the United States, though
spread over a territory fourteen
times the area of France, so much
more capable of concert of action, so
much more alive and modern, so
much more interested in new dis
cOveries of all kinds, and capable of
selecting and utilizing the best of
them? 1t is because the neWspa-
pers penetrate everywhere; and
even the lonely dweller on the
prairie or in the forest is not intel
lectually isolated from the great cur
rents of public life which flow
through the telegraph and press"

GsCOme Home Sober"

"Now, Johnny, come home So
ber," said a small woman with
fair sorrowful face, as she watched
her husband start to go TO his work
from their uninviting little house.
"COme home Sober" There was
an appealing tremulousness in the
voice, prayerful quiver of the lips,
and a forced smile upon the white
face that said plainly :"I am asham-
ed to speak the words, but if you
will only come to me a man to-
night, | shall be happy until to-
morrow"
She watched him half sOrrowful-
ly and half proudly as he kissed his
hand to her and strobe away with
elastic step and bearing, and
when he had disappeared a look
and a whisper were directed to God,
the Comforter, and the door was
closed.
How many scenes occurring daily
in every town in the land, does this
describe; and how many such scenes
are followed by the appearance of
the loved one atnight with eyes and
passions infiamed, breath polluted,
brain crazed and form staggering
and unstable in the power of the
murderOuS alcohol,
God pity the sufferings, the hopes
and despair of the drunkard's wife.
Christ suffered upon the cross, but
not as the loving wife who sees, to
her the dearest one on earth, going
day by day deeper and deeper into
the tOrtuOus tunnels Of shame, of
death, of drunkardnesS.
Husbands, in the name of human
ity, of the love you bear to her who
holds you dearer than her own eter-
nal happiness. "Come home sober,
tonight" Bring a clear brain and
a kiss of love unpolluted by the
breath of a monster who is murder
ing you and starving the hearts and
mouths of those who deserve your
love and assistance. Then will your
home know happiness, and be by
your own efforts q place of rest,
screened from the eyes and ears and
affections of the world by the thrift
ty vines of love that grow continu-
ally, sheltering only you and yours,
and bearing the fruit that God in
tended should be planted, cultiva-
ted, gathered and enjoyed by the
deserving among his husbandmen.

Growing FnscIlias in Baskets.

A novel way of growing fushias
in baskets is recommend by a writer
in the Garden, who says now is a
good time to put young fuschias
into baskets, to obtain good display
late in summer and throughout the
autumn. Varieties of slender habit
are best adapted for the purpose,
and if the shoots be kept persistent
ly stopped, the plants viii form
dense bushes, which will cover the
sides and bottom of the basket, and
when suspended from the roof Of
the greenhouse or conservatory,
laden with bloom, will form strik-
ing objects. The flowers, indeed,
are shown off to better advantage in
this way than when the plants are
grown in pots and trained in pyra-
midaI section. Good, rich loam,
plenty of water and timely atten.
ton to stopping the shoots so as to
obtain a dense, pendulous habit at
first, are all the plants require to
bring them to a high state of per-
fectiOn.

The Atlantic cable Monopoly.

Combination i'm one pool of the
various transatlantic cable compa-
mics has been 50 far successful that,
on May 1, the cable rates, which are
now twenty, eight cents, gold, per
word from this city, are TO be adj
vanced to seventy-eight cents, gold.
per word, and two words of addre~s
on messages, heretofore and now
sent free, are to be charged az full
rates. This increased price does not
affect news telegrams for the news
papers, the present rates of one shil-
ling per word for immediate MESA
ges, and one siXpence for delayed
messages (sent during intervals Of
other bussiness) being continued.
The public will not relish the adj
vance rates announced, but they
will be helpless, until an American
cable company enters the field with
a determination to keep up healthy
competitor.

A Drunkard's Brain.

Hyrel, one of the greatest anat-
omists of the age, used to say that
he could distinguish in the darkest
room, by one stroke of the scalpel,
the brain of the inebriate from that
of the person who had lived soberly.
Now and then he would cOngratu-
late his class upon the possession of
a drunkard's brain, admirably fitted
from its hardness and more COM
plete preservation for the purpose of
demonstration. When the anatOm-
ist wished to preserve the human
brain for any time he effected his
object by keeping it In a vessel of
alcohol. From a soft pulpy sub
stance it then becomes comparative
Iy hard. But the inebriate, antici-
pating the anatomist, begins the in
durating process before death-be=
gins it while the brain remains the
cOnsecrated temple of the soul, while
its delicate and gOssamer tissues still
thrOb with the pulse of heaven-bOrn
life. Strange infatuatiOn thus to
desecrate the godlike! Terrible en-
chantment that dries up all the hui
manitieS and sweet charities of life,
leaving only a brain of lead and
heart of stone

Sensible Talk to Young Ladies.


In marrying make your own
matches. Do not marry anyone
TO get rid Of him, or to oblige him,
or to save him. Theman who would
go to destruction without you,
would quite likely 60 with you,
With you, and perhaps drag you
along. Do not marry In haste, lest
You repent at leisure. Do not mar
ry for home and living, when by
burning up your corsets and taking
care of your health you can be
strong enough to earn your own liv-
ing. DO not let aunts, brothers and
mothers sell you into marriage for
money or position, into bondage,
tears and lifelong misery, which
you alone must endure. DO not
place yourself habitually I'm the com
pany Of any suitor until you have
decided the question OF marriage
human wills are weak, and people
often become bewildered and do not
know their error until too late. Get
away from their influence, settle
your head and make up your mind
alone. "A promise may be made in
an hour of half-delighted ecstacy
which must be redeemed through
years Of sorrow, toll and pain. Do
not trust your happiness in the
hands of one who has no heart, no
head, no health. DO not rush
thoughtlessly, hastily, into welded
life contrary to the counsel of your
best trends. Love can wait; that
which cannot wait Is something OF

The Marriage Of widows.


1t is only by summary like the
following that one realizes what an
awful thing it is TO be a widow or
widower. Says Demorest's Month
ly:
sit is contrary to custom to invite
guests to the marriage of widow.
If a widower marries a young girl,
the etiquette is the same as that Of
n first marriage. A widow must
marry in the morning gearly, without
show, and has only her witnesses
and those of her Intended. Her
dress must be plain, of quiet color;
black, however, is not admissible.
On leaving church, the bride invites
to breakfast the witnesses who have
formed the party, but no other
guests are invited to this repast. On
the fifteenth day after the marriage,
cards are sent bearing the new adj
dress of the married pair. A widow
never makes wedding calls after re-
marrying. Those who receive the
cards do the visiting. There Is q
month allowed for the return Of
cards, and the visits. When n single
lady marries, after having passed
the usual age for marriage, the cerc-
mony should be simple and unob-
trusiVe.n
