The Problem of the GrOg.shOp,

Has not the temperance movement
in this country been too exclusively a
moral appeal? Has it not forgotten
too much the nature and the circum.
stances of the evil? Temperance ad'
dresses are largely descriptions of the
effects of drunkenness. They are
tragic.comedies, in which the speaker
seeks to make his audience laugh at
the antics of tho drunkard, and cry
over the broken heart and ruined
home of his wife and family. This
strain is varied with laundering dc.
nunciations Of "the moderate drink.
err" compared with whose insidious
infamy the immodofato drinker who
totally imbrutes himself is an object
of pity rather than of reprobration,
and with these are mingled chemical
and sanitary statistics. The appeal,
however, is moral, and the remedy
usually proposed is absolute prohibit
tion. The friends of "license," how
ever stringently regulated, are ro,
garded as mere Laodicoans, or worse.
But this mere moral appeal to re-
nounce drunkenness because it pro-
duces crime and unhappincss and di.
sease is too arid. 1t forgets the per-
sons to whom it is addressed, and
the conditions of their life. ConSe-
ouontly there are the excitement
and fury of n revival, vast temporary
enthusiasm and swift backsliding,
For what is drunkennessH ltisin
its origin the porvorsion of a natural
taste for social enjoyment, andis most
prevalent among those who have the
least opportunity forsuch enjoyment
| When It has fixed itself upon its VIC
tim, it is largely dependent upon
physicial conditions, Tho usual tenn
porancc appeal to him is by tho mere
main strength of his moral will to

A Bcer.DrInl1ing Horse.

1t is argued by those who desire an
excuse for using alcoholic stimulants
that it is n taste natural to man, and
distinguishes man more than any
thing else from the beast. DR.. Rich
ardson, who has himself tested the
matter, asserts that cats, dogs, horses,
birds, and animals upon which he
has made the experiment grow fond
of alcoholic stimulants from frequent
use. One instance which he relates
is of horse which learned to drink
beer. He says: zone day when l
was riding in a hired carriage near
Canterbury, the horse stopped short
at q waysldo public house. l asked
the driver what that was for. THE
horse, said he, always stops here for
his beer; he wouldn't go by on no ac-
count; you couldn't whip him by,
sir, till he has had his beer. His
former master taught him to drink
beer, and invariably treated him TO
it at this house, and here he'll stop
till he gets it, 1t was the fact. A
large tank of beer was brought
out for that horse, and he disposed Of
the fluid with as much relish as his
master, and then wenthis way. Its
a shame added the driver, but
young fellows from London, who like
a joke, and who also like beer them.
selves, will sometimes give him a lot
and make him drunk. Then he is
awkward to drive, and bad for two or
three days afterwards, and We have
to give him moro beer to keep him
up, which costs q lot" He faceti-
ously remarks that overworked oxen
(and strcet.car mulos) should have
"bourbon" put into their drinking
water to keep them up and make
thom lively.

The Young Men.

This grave question has been fre.
quently asked in our community Of
late, "How shall we reach the Young
Men2" towhich the press, in itschar.
acter as the great framer and collector
of public sentiment, must make up
its answer. The question is one cal.
culated to impress profoundly reflect
ing minds, and to elicit the sympa.
thies of all right-feeling human
hearts. Lord Bacon said that if he
were called upon to predict the con.
dition Of a country twenty-five years
hence, he should "study the charac.
ter of its young men," The great
philosopher was right-nover were
truer words spoken. If we wish to
realize our highest hopes for our
young men we must address ourselves
resolutely to the task of studying
their character as they actually pro-
sent themselves. The quick eye of
the practical man takes in the lead
ing features ofthe business situation;
studies the needs of the community,
forms his plans accordingly, and as
the result of his sagacity grows rich
and influential. The physician sum
moned to the bedside of cancerous
patient, ut once inserts his scalpel
and removes the disease, to the relief
of the sufferer, without indulgiug any
pet theory as to its nature and origin,
So in all our efforts to reform and
influence young men; we must study
their needs and habits. Young men
are eminently social and genial in
their impulses, and if we are to reach
them to any extent it must be through
means addressed to this aspect Of their
character.
Now the fact is that most of our
young nen go out in the evening

circles soas to make home more pleas
ant to them? Clearly not. We must
see where they go and find out what
they seek. We must exert ourselves
to induce them to cultivate better
and purer associations and supply
them with amusements and pleasures
from which the deprpved and vicia-
ting elements have been eliminated.
When this is done, we may be said

proof of the practicability of such n
scheme, we may cite the example

men seek to draw others away from
their vicious and wicked associations
