THE HoLD OF STRONG DRINK.

BY JouN u. GotEul
Now no man intended to become
drunkard. There are young men
here, there are boys here, when they
take their drop Of beer they do not
suppose they are going to become
drunkards. They argue in this way
i am not going into the argument
81 can let it alone when please;
l have got a mind Of my own, and |
can drink glass of ale without its
doing me any particular injury"
Well, but you must remember this,
that every man who has become an
Incorporate man has become so try.
ing to drink moderately, in trying to
take glass with his friends. And
when a man finds out it is injuring
him, he says he will quit it. But
that is the very time when man
will not quit it.
went out one Sunday between II
and l o'clock-half.past II and l.
down Seven Dials, London. I went
to see what was to be seen there.
There we're crowds Of people-quite
a large crowd. One man was telling
some pretty strong temperance truths
but look at the people! There
was one woman it seemed to me she
had but one garment on her, and it
was bitter cold day, as you know.
She stood shivering in the cold, but
she had threepence in her hand and
was watching the door of "The
Grapes" | saw men licking their
white lips, and their tongues were as
white as their lips, waiting for the
door to open at ! o'clock.
saw boys and girls os sixteen
years Of age in such wretched state
of poverty. Now l do not believe
such poverty need exist. My heart
bled for them, waiting crowds for
those doors to open at l o'clock, with
a few pence. And that man who
spoke to them, said:
"Why, some of you have not got
shirt on, and yet you are going to
pay money that ought to buy you a
shirt into the brewery and into the
public. house. The consequence is
there is lot of shrting in the facto.
ries, tradei is bad, and people cannot
get employment because the facto.
ries are over. stocked. Why don't
you 90 and buy linen and shirting
and leather instead of making away
with our money in beer, and you get
nothing for it"
/ stood and locked speak my
own sentiment, not yours-I looked
at the name on that public house,
"Truman, Hanbury s. Buxton" l
shall answer for what in say in the
day Of judgment, but so help me
God in the hour of extremity, l
would not have my name on such a
house as that for all the money spent
in drink, and that is 140,O00,000
pounds sterling year.

IRON IN ANCIENT ENGLAND. To
return to England, we find that in the
reign of Edward III. iron was so scarce
that the pots, spit~ aud frying pans Of
the royal kitchen were classed among
the kings jewels Up 10 the end
of the fifteenth century English iron
was not only deareT, but inferior TO that
manufactured on the Continent. Dur
ing the fifteenth century the mauufac-
ture of iron began To be extensive in
Sussex, where the ore and the timber
for smelling it abounded, and iron mills
soon became numerous in the county.
The landed proprietors entered into the
business eagerly, and not only were
many ancient houses enriched thereby,
but several new men acquired wealth
and founded families. In the Forest Of
Dean also, where wood was plentiful,
iron was largely smelied. The land.
however, soon became denuded Of
trees in consequence of the exclusive
use of charcoal for smelling; people
became alarmed, and many edicts we're
Illuminated restricting the manufacture
Of iron. Eventually the feeling became
so strong that from the time OF the
Restoration the iron manufacture OF
England rapidly declined. Coal was
known, but there was h prejudice
against its use on account Of its supposed
pestilential qualities. Coal, moreover,
as then used, injuriOusly affected the
quality of the iron, and il WAS not till
the beginning Of the eighteenth century
that the first real steps for overcoming
the difficulty were taken. London

know just how to do herself, bless her.
The dear old lady had just come down
from a motherly talk with Elinor. and
her kind eyes we're -iill full Of sympa-
theiic tears.
81 am afraid tile dear girl will lie sick
James," she said. "-he is 80 broken
down 10y this cruei persecution"
Heaven help her, then, for I've got
worse news than that for her, wife,
said her husband.
"What is it, James? Oh. what can IL
be-" said she, Ia terror, putting both
hands on his arm as he stood, still with
his hat ia his hand, as when he fret
came iu.
He told her Lri,iiy, aud then, as her
tears flowed freely, he put his arm about
her, aud said, eaIuesliy:
Dear wife, it seems as though il was
intended that we should help these poor
children in their trouble in some way
They've got nobody else to care for
them, for Frank is worse OFF than Eli
nor, so far as that is concerned. Now
what can we do ?"
"Why, bring him right here, oi
course, James, just as quick as you can,
said she, "and Elinor aud l will nurse
him up, and save him maybe"
"Oh, that is impossible" said the
Doctor. "He can't be moved any
where. | meant, how can we help Eli
nor to bear il? How can We tell her,
when she is so miserable already ?"
"Oh, you don't understand her
James" replied his wife. las soon al
she knows that Frank is hurt, she will
forget herself and think only Of helping
him."
perhaps you are right, wife. hope
so, at least" said he, rather doubtfully.
When Mrs. Du1 re-entered Elinor's
room so soon after quitting it, the latter
raised her aching head quickly from her
pillow, and exclaimed, as soon as their
eyes met:
"what is il? What new trouble has
come upon me? There Is something, |
know. Please tell me quickly" she
pleaded, as the kind voice faltered and
was lost in a vain attempt to speak.
Elinor had risen now, and stood pain
fully expectant, but Mrs. Duff drew heI
gently down upon the lounge again,
and seating herself beside her, put her
arms about her as tenderly as II she had
been her own daughter.
"Dear child,n she began, ia q
trembling voice, there is more bad
news, but ! hope il will all turn oui
right, after all. Frank was badly hurl

The employment Of women a. clerks
under our Government began during
the war, seventeen years ago, aud the
highest salary paid them was six hun
drei dollars. General Spinner, who was
Treasurer at the time, entered into the
arrangement with much interest in spite
of tie storm of ridicule and opposition
which broke over his head from "A great
part nf the public The experiment has
proved surcessfui, as the delicate fingers
of girls are suitable for counting money
and Strengthening ont torn bills. At
present there are thirteen hundred
women employ ed, with salaries ranging
from nine hundred dollars To fifteen
hundred dollars, though few receive as
I high as the latter figure. Almost every
[ incumbent has one or more dependent on
/ her for support. Ia one case personally
known TO me, an educated aud accom-
| piished yong lady, almost the sole sup

I books OF a young man to disentangle, he
I having reduced them to an apparently

toiled over them, early and late, while

end Of that time the siX-huudred-dollar
clerk handed back the fair pages to one
who was drawing just twice her salary.
Shorty after her pay was somewhat iu-
creased, and IL is believed that eventu-
ally no distinction will be made, aside
I from capacity. The iucumhents are
generally ladies who have been reduced

ceived excellent educations In no
