" What will Mother Say ?"

The other day stepped into Justices
court just as II young man, who had been
arrested for theft, was being examined
Not more than eighteen years of age, he
looked incapable OF such crime Yet the
evidence fixed the guilt unquestionably upon
him. When questioned as to his age and
residence, he answered indifferently; but
when asked his name he hesitated, then
turning to the justice he said, "Must an
swer that question 2"
Yes" was the answer
With a look OF keenest anguish in his
face, he asked again "If | give my name can
it be kept from my mother? 2"
Oh there was the thought that troubled
him most. Here was the one to whom his
thoughts turned in his hour of trouble, and
for whose feelings he was solicitous, even
when he was the one to be wept over; one
thought awoke in him desire to avoid pub
lefty" What will mother think How
will she feel How will her heart be wrung
when she hears that her boy, whom in his
infancy she nursed with tenderest care, is
guilty of theft--has forgotten the prayer of
his childhood, and broken Gods command
ment ?" Had he thought of this when
tempted to commit the crime-had he then
asked himself, What will mother think %
how different might have been the result
But it was now too late; the crime had
been committed the law had laid its hand
upon him, aud he must suffer punishment,
and that mothers heart be made heavy with
grief.
Oh, boys when tempted to do wrong,
when your feet have almost led you astray,
stop and ask yourselves the question, What
will mother think when she knows this ?"
But there is another aud more important
question-what will God say ? What does
he say about those who work wickedness ?
Remember that his eye is ever upon you,
and that he is acquainted with all your ac-
tons. You cannot hide anything from him.
Although he may escape arrest and punish
ment by mans law, no breaker of Gods law
can go unpublished.

A Great Fall.

A minister of the gospel told me one of
the most thrilling incidents | ever heard in
my life. A member of the congregation
came home for the first time in his life in
toXicated and his boy met him upon the
doorstep, clapping his hands and exclaiming,
" Papa has come home" He seized that
boy by the shoulder, swung him around,
and fell in the hall. The minis
ter said to me, " spent the night in that

Dram Shop and Poor Mans Club.

Harper'S Weekly, after describing the
Murphy Movement aud the Crosby
Method, says "These are all good meas
ures, but it must be remembered that drunk
enness can be successfully treated only by
carefully considering its conditions. Dram
drinking, when it is not congental passion,
is at first recreation, and resort of the poor
seeking relaxation. The Tammany politician
who tenderly described the dram-shop as the
poor mans club, threw a great deal of light
upon the true method of treatment. 10 a
poor man the dram-shop is warm, pleasant
place, full OF cheerful company aud gossip and
excitement If it were closed, the alterna-
tive is a cold cherries chamber, or the street
corner, or a forlorn home-torlorn, perhaps,
because OF the waste of money at the dram
shop. But since the desire of recreation is
imperative, is it not an essential part of a
thorough and reasonable temperance refor-
nation to provide an alternative as attrac-
tive as the dram-shop? All radical reforms
affecting personal freedom should be careful
to prevent any appearance of injustice. The
poor man 5 club is phrase TO be considered
The poor man should have no reason to feel
that more fortunate men drink at their ease,
while they prevent him from drinking at
his. 1t may be true that they do not object
to his drinking but to his drunkenness and
disorder, and that disorder must be sum
malily repressed. This is uudeniable, but
it is equally undeniable that if the dram
shop is attacked not only by the law that
closes it, but by the sympathy and sagacity
that will open "a harmless and attractive
rival to it, the victory Will be surer and
easier"

We want few or no new laws. We need
only return to that simplicity of govern
ment which does not undertake to interfere
with the normal activities of the people, and
concerns itself only in protecting the rights
and liberties of all. The work of the states
man now is work of repeal and simplifca-
ton, work of return to the first principles
of free government, the abolition of monop-
oles of all sorts and the abandonment of the
paterual system of administration, by which
it is attempted to guide and protect the in
dustry of the people. These experiments, If
not so intended, always do practically end in
the benefit of the few ut the expense of the
many. And especially does the farming in
terest suffer- What the farmers want of
the government is simply the preservation
of public order and justice. Give them this
and they will take care to secure their own
prosperity and happiness.
We are sorry to see that the "labor move
ment," with the aims of which we sympa-
thize, seems taking exactly the opposite
direction, demanding more instead of less
legislation, and calling upon the government
to regulate the industry of the country in
all sorts of impossible ways. "a fair field
and no favor" is what the working men
want. Blucher's prayer to the Almighty,
Not to help the other side" is the only re-
quest the working men ought to address to
the government
The Springfield Republican states this
thing just right when it says, in recent
editorial We feel sure that the leaders in
the labor reform party are altogether on the
wrong track in their statement of remedies.
They seem to us TO be seeking to counter
the advantages of capital, by following on
still further in the path that has given cap
ital its advantages-by new schemes Of
special legislation, by pushing the parental
government idea to its very extreme, by
putting everybody and everything out to
nurse to a special patron, by, in short, rum
ming to the excess of all the Old World no.
tions of government 1t is quite in the
other direction that the real remedy is more
likely to be found-in Withdrawing from
capital its exclusive privileges, in throwing
down the barriers to commerce abroad and
trade at home, in setting natural causes free
to work out natural results, in cultivating
the causes of education, arbitration and
philanthropy, evolving the mutually of APP
parently adverse interests, and making clear
the dependence of every class upon the com
fort and prosperity of every other class
