The Drink of the Free.

Water and water only should be the
drink of the free. 1t is the pure, health
frl beverage God has so graciously Civ
ell to man, brewed far down in the
bowels of the earth, free from all i'm
purity. Then let us have the bright,
cool, sparkling, lifc-giving water ever
for you and for me. The foolish soms
of Bacchus may sing of the virtne Of
their god of the bowl. They may talk
ever so blandly, ever so bewitchingly
about the spirit of rum. But heed
them not. Also there is poison in that
cup! at stingeth like an adder and
biteth like serpent Death turks
unseen in that dreadful potation. Take
1t not, we earnestly cntrcat you. O.
turn away from it scorn its fascina-
tions, and contemn its pernicious witch
cries. So shalt thou escape the deadly
snare and pass nobly and safely on.
There may be transitory pleasure,
a brief joyousness in the wine cup.
But 'look not upon the wine when il
sparkles in the cup" when it would
lure thee on but to destroy. Flee from
it, escape as for thy life. Think of the
filth of the gutter, the poverty and woe
that must follow, and the ruin at last
both of soul and body! You that fy
to the bowl TO drown your present sor-
row and inspire maniac's mirth, re-
member the waste of life, the certain
ruin il must bring and wrctchedness
untold!
There is a drink that meyer fails.
One, too, that burns not, poisons not,
nor ever beggars the user. Neither
does it bring woe and sorrow in its
train, nor usher into prisons, nor hurry
on to death and the insatiate grave. Ii
is the pure water that everywhere gush-
cs forth from mountain and vale, in the
green meadow and by the enduring
rock.
Come, then, TO this refreshing. life
inspiring, wondrous fountain. TO
drink of this fountain will not impover-
ish thee, nor bring thee dcsolation. pain
nor fear. Quench here thy thirst at this
perennial spring, for it is ever free.
God in the beginning has grnoiousiy
and beneficently provided it both for
you and for me. 1t is priceless and be-
yond all value. 1t is most precious im-
deed. Come to its gushing waters that
are ever flowing, and drink and be sat
fied!-[Our Union.

THE NEW COACIMAN.-The boy should
have known better at his age than to let

hasn't come home yet"

When he drove around ma called him
Peter, and ordered him to back up and
go ahead and haw and gee around,
and he got up on his ear and drove back
to the barn. Them duds came ofl'n him
like lightning, and he was so mad that
he didn't stay long enough to wash the
black off his ears"
"And what did your mother say?''

Nothing; she looked a little sad

The Old Story.

The annual report of the Philadelphia
prison shows, of the sixty-nine charged
with murder, only one who was not un-
der the influence of liquor when the
deed was done. They were ignorant of
what they were doing, but the law
makes no excuse. They go to the
gallows, and amid the jecrs of the
crowd and the moans of those who love
them, the black cap is drawn over their
faces and they are swung into eternity.
The man who sold the liquor to the sa-
loon-kecpcr, if not directly to the Grim
inal, rides down in his elegant carriage.
behind his glovcd driver, to see the
wicked sinner who could commit MUIR
der. This man drank from craving
appetite and then was demon. The
other sold it, knowing what madness il
would work in his victims brain, and
put the money into his loaded pockets,
perchance to help buy his way to Con-
gress. Arc these things true iii Chris

Boston city council. Some of the new
representatives in Washington are IL

Arthur Guinness, of beer fame, with
$4,000 900, a peer, with the title of
Baron Cong. "Baron Bung," the
newspapers say he should have styled
himself. And the Irish Times, with an
obscquiousness that Difference to money
gives, says the citizens of Dublin ought
to be proud that they possess in their
midst business of such gigantic pro-
portions. Proud when the Irish nalion
have been made paupers to give Mr..
Guinness that five millions.! : lOur

Volcanic Eruptions.

The phenomena exhibited bp volcanic
eruptions have led to many discussions
among scientific men. Various theories
have been advanced in order to explain
these truly wonderful phenomena, all of
which bear close analogy to each other.
The most probable and generally re-
ceived opinion of the cause of volcanoes
is, that in the bowels of the mountains
there exist large quantities of sulphur,
bitumcn, pyrites and even some of the
alkaline bascs-such as potassium and
sand. These, by exposure to air or mois-
turc, explode and ferment, according to
the quantity of combustiblc matter con-
taincd in them. A large quantity of
aeriform matter is thus produced.
which struggles hard to find a natural
vent, and should it find that impossible.
it forces passage bv raising f6e Garth
Wator cooms 10 De the important ingre-
dicnt which forms volcanic cruptions.
"For,' observes DIR. Clark, "bcfore
any great eruption of Vesuvius, not OIL
ly does the water disappear i'm all the
wells of Naples, Portici, Mcssina and
other towns at the foot of the mountain.
but even the sea retires, and marine
animals, by want of their native elc-
ment, expire. The water, which has
thus disappeared, is conveyed by num-
erous subtcrraneous passages to the sub
terraneous fires, and there being dccom-
posed, its elements are exploded with
such terrible violence that the loudcst
artillery bears but a faint resemblance. :,
The depths of volcanoes are almost be-
yond comprehension, and extend to an
immense length, breaking of into nu-
mcrous subterrancous fires.

A discussion in the national House of
Representatives the other day, disclos-
ed the fact that members have been in
the habit of calling for whiskey and
getting it under the name of "cold tea"
OF late years, it is said, liquor has al
ways been sold at the Capitol in
stealthy manner. But there is reason
for congratulation that the House has
at length passed a resolution for the
enforcement of the rule already in ex-
istcnce against the sale of liquors at the
Capitol. 1t is hoped, however, that
this resolution will be moro effective
than the rule which iit is designed to
enforce for otherwise another resolution
might be necessary to enforce this reso-
luton and still the "cold tea business
go on as usual.

The School Boy.

Did you ever pause and contemplate
that particular and peculiar phase of
human nature developed by the cxis-
tent school-boy when released from
study and discipline when "school is
out" and he is on his way home?
Ordinary humanity, when released
from the tolls of the day, is prone to
seek rest and relaxation. The boy
scorns all such cfiemnate ideas. lie is
composed of but three parts-legs,
arms, and yell, and the veil Is the big
gcst part of him. His legs and arms
have been kept in irksome compulsory
quictudc all day, and must now be OK
ercised. His voice has been sccthing
and swelling in him for hours. and now
must have vent.
AS soon as he is clear of the school
house steps he stops and deliberately
yclls yell that Is ear-spltting, but
direction than the midnight vociferation
of a mule, and yet il appears at full
run with his arms flying about like the
scintillations of pin-whecl. lie is no
rcspecter of persons and is utterly in
different as to whether he runs down q
smaller boy, spins an aged citizen three
times around, or mashes a girls hat
over her eyes, in his hcadlong career.
"Mercy on us? If that boy was only
mine Fd-" but just then her own boy
flies past, falls over dry goods box,
bounces up, kicks at another boy, and
is chased across the street and around
the corner before she can get the "You
Roberto with which she intends to an
nihilate him, out of her astonishcd
throat.
There is but one thing that has the
slightest soothing effect on the boy when
he is on the way home from school,, He
can see his old man further than Prof.
Hall can see hay-stack with n teles-
cope, and the moment that parent
