You Can't Cure q Drunkard
Whilst O Slave 10 His Pipe.

Young man, before you light that
cigar, orpipe, stop and consider what
you are doing. Think, for an instant
that you never saw drunkard that
did not use tobacco -ninety-nine in o
hundred. That drunkenness ON dis.
titled liquors and this habit were
about contemporaneous, and began
the world together. That dram shops
and tobacco shops are one the
same. That all the knaves, pick
pockets, vagabonds aud highway
robbers are smokers and chewers.-
Not every man that uses tobacco in.
dulgcs in either of the above named
vices, but every person who indulges
in the above named vices does use
tobacco in some form.
Tobacco, by wasting saliva, parch.
ing the throat and infaming the
chest, creates thirst for strong
drink, and paves the road to down
right drunkenness; low, vulgar and
vicious physical habits and cores
ponding moral habits cluster togeth-
er. They bear a kindred relation to
each other, and generally appear in
family groups. Rum and tobacco
have long been associated. They
may certainly be called twin.broth-
ors-nay, more appropriately twin
devils; and not these two evils only
join their hands, you can safely add
profanity and gambling, How our
heart swells within us, as we every
day and everywhere see men, boys
and children; yes, mere children in
dulging in this nerve-prostrating,
mind benumbing, soul paralyzing
drug-this Aeshy, ungOdly lust. As
a narcotic, it is inbued with oner-
getic, poisonous properties, produC-
ing, when administered oven in
small doses, nausea and vomiting,
cold sweats, universal tremor, with
extreme muscular debility. And
now, young man, break the bands Of
this vile and degrading sorvituto,
and no longorlot your spirit be in
bondage to the flesh. Let the power
of this higher nature come TO the
rescue and not finch from tho dread.
full conflict till you shall gather vic
tory over your physical being, and
the body shall yield toa quiet sub
mission Of the soul.

His Mother-ln.Law's Jaw.


Atall, angular woman, in a sun
bonnet, with stride like man
late for a train, came into the recor.
der's Office yesterday morning, and
took seat on the end Of a bench
near where the city marshal was at
work at his desk, She removed her
bonnet, laid it across her knees, re-
moved her spectacles, and aftersnap-
ping her eyes a couple of times at
the city marshal, asked in a voice
like sharpening cross-cut saw; "Be
you the man that locks people upH"

asked the city marshal.

"What has he done9"
"Yes, what's he done, the vile
wretch?o and breathed hard, glared
about, and gritted her teeth, until
the officer felt in his pocket for his
police whistle.
aBo calm, madame; compose your
feelings" argued the marshal.
"He told me-if 1 had just had
him alone for five minutes-what a
picture he would makel"

ter he'd give 92O acres of land with

"What in the world could have in

the official.

one hand and only hit him a time
or so with the long.handle skillet,

would be just my luck never to fetch

she seemed depressed.
"What could have induced him To
talk in that absurd way2" asked the
city marshal, feeling uncomfortable
"But, after, it makes me feel good
to talk about it. 1t calls pold recol'

The Summer meeting of the Tri-State
Fair Trotting Association has attracted
considerable interest in this locality this
week. The famous horses, "Rarus" and
Lulu" are present, and about fifty other
quick steppers from all parts of the Union,
taking pant in the races of the week, com.
mencing Tuesday and ending to-day.
The attendance has been fair considering
