Eloquent Temperance Extract.

The great and gifted Thomas F. Marshall,
OF Kentucky, once upon time delivered a
temperance lecture I'm the hall of the house
of representatives in Washington before the
congressional total abstinence society, OF
which the following is one OF the most elo-
quent passages:
''Sir, L would not exchange the physical
sensations, the mere sense of animal being,
that belongs TO a man who totally refrains
from oil that can intoxicate his brain or de-
range his nervous structure-the elasticity
with which he bounds from his couch
in the morning-the sweet repose il
yields him at night-the feeling which ne
drinks in through his clear eyes, the beauty
and grandeur of surrounding nature: | say,
sir, l would not exchange my conscious be-
ing as strictly temperate man, the sense OF
renovated youth, the glad play with which
my pulses now beat healthful music, the
bounding vivscity with which the blood
courses Its exultiDg way through every fibre
of my frame, the communion high
which my healthful ear and eye
now hold with all the gorgeous uni
verse of God-the splendors OF morning. the
softnsss of the evening sky-the bloom, the
beauty, the yerdure of the earth, the music
OF the air and waters-wlth all the grand
associations of external nature reopened to
the fine avenue of sense; no, sir, tho pow.
erty dragged me-though scorn pointed its
slow fingers at me as | passed-though want
and destiiution and every element of earthly
misery, save crime, met my waking eye
from day to day; not for the brightest
and noblest wreath that ever encirc!ed a
statesman's brow-not if some angel COM
miSsioned by heaven or some demon sent
from hell to test the strength of virtuous res
olution should tempt me back, with all the
hoDors which a world can bestow; not for
all that earth can give would cast from me
this pledge of a liberated mind, this talisman
against temptation. and plunge again into
dangers and horrors that once beset my path
so h-lp me heaven, as | would spurn be
meath my very feet all the gifts the universe
could offer. and live and die as l am, poor
and sober"

Colonel Montgomery was shot IN a duel
about dog; Colonel Ramsey in one about
a servant; Mr.. Featherstone IN one about a
recruit; Sterne's father in one about goose,
and another gentleman in one about an acre
of anchovies. One officer was challenged
for merely asking his opponent to enjoy the
second goblet, and another was compelled
to fight about a pinch of snuff General
Berry was challenged by a Captain Smith
for declining wine at dinner on a steamboat.
although the general pleaded as an excuse
that wine invaribly made him sick; and
Lieutenant Cowther lost his life In a
duel because he refused admittance
to club OF pigeon shooters
In 1776 duel occurred in New
York city between Lieutenant Featherstone-
baugh, of the Seventy and captain
Mcpherson, of the Forty-third British regl-
ment. in regard TO the manner of eating an
ear of corn-one contending that the best
eating was from the cob. and the other that
the grain should be cut off from the cob
before eating. Lieutenant Featherstone-
baugh lost bis right arm; the ball from his
antagonists pistol shattered the limb dread
fully so that it had to be amputated. Gra-
ham, Major Noah's assistant editor on the
National Advocate, lost his life In 1929, at
the dueling ground in Hoboken, with Bar
ton, the son in-law of Edward Livingston, in
a simple dispute about "wbat was trumps'
in a game of cards.

"touchy," and everybody is under restraint,
and in this way the chances of an imaginary
offence are vastly increased.
Catholic priest at Warsaw has been sent
to Siberia for curious offense. AS was his
duty, he read the czar's declaration of war to
his flock, and not being able to speak Rus
sian read it in Polish. This was against the
law, and hence his transportation.
The use of the cornet is becoming more
and more general in connection with church
choirs. No instrument requires more care
full management. When in the hands of q
judlcious and skillful player it is great aid
TO the service Of song. When an incompe-
tent upstart handles it the result is fright
full din, from which a reasonable congrega-
ton naturally desires to escape.
When the triangle had called the meeting
to order, Brother Gardner arose with his
usual sickness and said: "Gem'len, il it
wasn't for de wheels on wagin, de wagin
wouldn't move. When de wheels am on,
den what?'' "Greasel' "Krect," whispered
the president softly, rubbing his hands to-
gether. I'VE hez de wagin an de wheels;

The Rev. C. r. True, pastor of the Cedar
Street Methodist Episcopal church, Brook
lyn, died suddenly of heart disease in that
city on Thursday. in the 10th year of his
age. Mr.. True was graduated from Harvard
college nearly 40 years ago, and entered the
ministry Immediately afterward. He was
| the first principal of Armenia seminary, in
Dutchess county, and subsequently held a
| professors chair in the Wesleyan university,
Middletown, Conn. He leaves a son, the
Rev. Z. II. True, clergyman of the Episco-
pal church.
Ralph Waldo Emerson is so generally sup
| posed 10 have eliminated his satanic majesty
| from his theology that the following would
seem hardly creditable were it not vouched
for by the best authority: He and a well
known literary man of Boston were convers-
| ing not long ago about a family whose
| numerous members are scattered far and
wide. Charles" said the sage of Concord,
went to China years ago; John is In Cali
fornia, Henry is IN France. Mary married,
| Lucy is an old maid and William well, he
went to the devil"
| The National Baptist in giving the account
of a recent church jubilation, modestly says:
The editor of the National Baptist rendered
a few frail remarks" 1t will do for the
| editor thus to speak of his own efforts,
| though it is possible he might take in high
dudgeon the doing of any other paper which
would thus speak OF his address. This brings
| to mind the case of the colored deacon who,
/ after visiting doctor of divinity had, on
| invitation, addressed his meeting, said
will the doctor now please engage in
| prayer and ask the Lord to bless his feeble
