other evening, told ludicrous story to
big audience ut the Grand Opera
House hero, and put u catch phrase into
tho mouths of IndianupOlitans that hus
kept them laughing ever since. 1t is all
about two sailors and poll parrot; and
tic expression of the parrot will illus
trate perfectly the effect OF the final de
cision by the Electoral Commission on
the Democrats. Two sailors who had u
parrot with them went into magician 5
show, in an upper room IN some foreign
city. The three constituted the entire
audience. Alter each teas of the magl-
Clan one of the sailors would remark,
"Thats pretty gooI; wonder what they'll
do next" Finally Que OF the sailors
asked permission 10 smoke, which the
magician granted, forgetting that in the
room beneath was stored an immense
IuaHhitJ VI 6ubPV"NSls huO OaSh tul .
and the parrot continued to enjoy the
show, one sailor adding the pleasure OF
his pipe, and the other remarking after
each trick, That's good; wonder wnat
,4hey'll do next"
A spark from the smokers pipe
chanced to drop through crack down
into the powder aud something sud
denly occurred. Sailors and magician,
parrot aui all, "rose above party pre-.
judice" and were blown to kingdom

The Rum Shops.

Under the very shadow of churches are
crushed, heart-broken wives and mothers,
toiling day aud night to save their families
from starvation, enduring at the same time
all the cruelties and degradation which hus-
bands debased and maddened by alcohol
can infct. The money that should have
sustained them and their children has gone
into the till of the liquorseller, and the
equivalent received is profane and cruel
words, and in many Instances still more
cruel blows. These innocent victims of
this cruel traffic are in very many instances
debarred from the privileges of the sanctu-
ary and Sabbath-school through want of
suitable clothing; their Sabbaths are rem
dered intolerable through the profanity and
drunken revelling of him who should have
been their protector and sustainer. These
dens of vice which convert the fathers of
our country into fiends, are training-schools
for our jails and penitentiaries. The young
men of our country are being enslaved and
debased. These bar-rooms nOminaHy closed,
but virtually open OH the Sabbath, are de
populating our churches. The money that
should be used to extend the gospel is being
employed TO sink men in perdition, What
shall we do about it I Shall we let it alone
Shall we give up the hope of controlling it
Shall we cease to do battle with it? Shall
we say "The thing is so tremendous an
evil, is so far-reaching, and so deeply pervad-
ing, that we cannot do anything with it Z"
Suppose, when the ocean threatened to sub
merge Holland, that the llollanders had
said, ave are little men, and this is great
ocean one surge may carry thousand of
us away like so many egg-shells we cannot
do anything" But they did not say that ;
they said something different "The ocean
shall not overflow our fields, shall not de-
stroy our harvests, shall not drown our
cities;" and they backed up their sturdy
words with their sturdier deeds. They
built dykes which are the admiration of the
world. They kept out the ocean, saved
their fields, harvests, cities and populations
And the surf which would have devastated
them, now walled out, as it strikes, ceas-
lessy, the outside of their bulwarks, can
only utter with its hoarse roar perpetual
amen TO the grand triumph of these rtsolute
Hollanders. lntemperance threatens our
country as the ocean threatened Holland (;
let us act as the liollanders did. God helps
courageous souls. If we are bold, brave and
faithful, we shall yet build dykes that shall
save our country and our race.-Selected
