THE SAFE PLAN.

The only security from the evil effect of
strong drink, is "Touch not, taste not, handle
not" the accursed thing. We must be toward
it as an utter stranger, and keep it without
our gates, for acquaintance is dangerous and
intimacy death. No man can play with the
serpent and not be bitten, and foolish is ne
who madly plunges his all within the reptiles
reach, clinging to the deusion that If bitten,
a ready remedy can be applied. Don't say
that you can drink or let it alone. Multitudes
have said this and gone down to ignomnious
graves. Their record and their fate prove
that drink is always the victor whenever it
contends with the moderate drinker.
Drink darkens the understanding, and
before man can feel that it is injuring him,
he is bound hand and foot, as it we're, by the
fascinations of the demon that turks in the
cup. He may realize his situation when it is
too late-when the habit has become second
nature and leads him on and on to wretch
ed end. This habit which thus leads him
with the strength of cable, was formed by
twisting each little indulgence and yielding
to appetite and passions in moments when he
deemed himself secure. The habit of drink
Ing Will dutulG VI uO CcoootlOu, ouo hi"J
content to-day will fail tomorrow in quantity
or effect. If one glass arouses a mans
nerves to-day, it will require more to do 50
tomorrow, for the reaction resultant from the
first glass must be overcome before the nerve
force can begin to exert. This will require
portion of the stimulant, the desired tone
more than ever, both more than was used the
day previous. Continue the practice and
each successive reaction is greater than its
predecessor, or owing to the expended vitali-
ty, and the organism thus weakened by re-
peated strains upon its latent powers, soon be-
comes prey to disease.
History and daily observation prove strong
drink to be the mightiest power that ever ex.
erted sway over the human family. None so
high that it cannot debase; none so strong
tiat it cannot weaken none so good or holy
that it cannot change into 6ends. The king
on his throne is brought to a common level
with the beggar of the street, and each lower
ed beneath the plane of rational, accountable
beings. Truly it is not a respector of per.
sons, nor does youth, manhood or honored old
age escape its deadly ravages. In total ab-
stinence alone there is security, and its prin.
ciple is holy and benevolent. Embrace it,
young man, and yours will be the fortune to
possess sound mind in sound body, for in.
temperance is prolific source of disease as
we'll as the parent of vice.-E1change.

ag Religion is not confined to devotional
exercises, but rather consists in doing all we
are called and qualified to do. with single
eye to Gods glory and will, from grateful
sense of his mercy to US. This is the alchemy
which turns every thing into gold, and stamps
q value on common actions.

II we were to be asked, says . writer
in AppletOn's Journal. to say in one
word the quality that moro than any

we should have to say neatness. Eng

English roads are well kept; English
railway stations aro in perfect order;

glish gardens, hedges, fences, lawns. all

smoke and fog blacken and stain all the

compensates for this unavoidable evil.
We are not SO particular here. We
have q clear atmosphere and brilliant
skies, but we are all. SO far a public
places are concerned, ions and daugh-
ters of Shabbyville. This is more
strange, because in our households no
such reproach is true. There are no
neater or better kept homes anywhere
than American homes, nor are any
people cleanlier or neater in their hab-
its. 1t is wholly in public matters that
this ~shabbiness We complain OF exists;
and this arises, of course, first, from
the neglect Of the official persons we
endow with handsome salaries. for
leaving undone the things they should
do; and next, from a strange indiffer-

of a public nature, to everything that
is not within his w private admins

Early Morning in New Almaden.

In Scribner for February (the Mid
winter Number), Mrs. Mary Hallock
FOOte, the artist, writes and illustrates
a paper on "A California Mining
Camp" from which we quote as fol-
lows
Early morning at New Almaden is
worth getting ap betimes to see. Some
times the valley is like a great lake
filled with pillows of fog,-pearly with
pillows, tnmbling and surging with
nOiseless motion. 1t is more a if the
clouds had all fallen out of the sky.
leaving its blue intensity unbroken, and
heaping the valley with fleecy white
ness. On windy morning, the fog rolls
grandly out to sea along the defies of
the triple chain of hills: when there is
no wind. it rises and drifts in masses
over the mountains, making the clear
sunlight hazy for a moment before dis
solving into it. After the rains, when
the morning air has a frosty crispness,
the mountains are outlined in sharp.
dark blue against a sky of redish-gOld :
even the tops of the distant red-woods,
may be traced, ''bristling strange, in
fiery light" along the horizon. As the
sun lifts its head, the dark blue hills
flush purple. long shadows stream
across the valley, the windows and spires
of San Jose sparkle into sight, and the
BAY reveals itself, a streak of silver in
the far distance. There is no chorus
of birds to break the stiffness.
The first morning sounds l remem-
Der noticing as peculiar to the place
came up to us from a camp of China
men, happily out of sight, below the
| hill,-a cackling of discOrdant voices
and a brazen beating and drumming
| which was explained to me as the
| Chinese cooks signal for breakfast,
beating on a frying-pan. Half An hour
later came the long ringing call of the
| seven o'clock whistle from the nearest

| tinkling among the live-oak boughs,

gray mule pushed her way outfrom the
scrub, with the great bread-baskcts
swinging, one on either side, their can.

dero sat in front serenely smoking q
cigarette; a little bell tinkled at the
mules b-idle. l was half sorry when
We became a well-regulated household
with bread If our own baking. for then
no panadero stopped at the gate on the
fogy mornings, and went swaying and

Stanley.

When he arrived in America, after his
splendid feat,-than which none more
heroic and daring has been performed
during this century, except a later n
by himself,-he was received with a
small burst of enthusiasm. which soon
died out, when it was found that he
could not lecture, and would not be
lionized. Nothing was forgiven to him
on account of StrangeneS to society, and
the social cold shoulder was turned to-
ward him by all those who could Meth
er tell a hero when they saw him, nor
hold him at his superlative value when
they hold him in their hands.
Stanley lived in New york for some
time, his social relations limited to a
few cOngenial men and women. who
reverenced his manhood, and believed
in him. Then he went away, and at
last we heard of him engaged in organ
izing q force to march across Africa.
When he received the dispatch which
summoned him to this task, it threw
him into q violent fever. He knew
what the undertaking wa. No one
else did; and for more than three years
he has been engaged in the gigantic
task Of managing hundreds of wild
men. in the midst of thousands Of wild
er men, in a passage through q wilder
ness thousands of miles in extent. He
has had to pierce forests thread rivers,
cross lake, tread morasses, and fight
wild beasts and savage men by day and
by night. His one will has directed
and controlled everything. The strain
upon him must have been terrible
three summers and three winters long.
Can any n imagine his Joy as he
traced the Congo to the sea, and caught
sight of the wave that connected him
with his home?
We do not feel particularly interest
ed in MI. Stanley's discoveries. The
g~eographers may have that part of it I;
but we are immensely interested in the
hero, and shall be glad to see his face
| and take his hand once more. And II
New York shall fail to take and hold
him at his value this time, she will do
herself foul dishonor. This man who
has done SO much to honor the Ameri-
can name, and so much to illustrate the
higher traits and capacities Of human
nature, should have . betting welcome
on his arrival home. 1t should not be
q ftful and quickly forgotten affair;
but after such tempestuous tossings up
on the sea of his great enterprise. be
should find himself in smooth water.
The heroes of few battle fields have
been worthier of lasting admiration
and homage than he is, who will come
to US from his latest achievement in
African discovery. Let rs give him
the freedom Of the city in the freedom
Of our homes.-R. j. G.. Holland "a
Seribney for February.
