Drawing out the Fear"

II witnessed beautiful and touching
incident illustrative of the early lessons
which make the peril of the future occu-
patton familiar to a child from his cradle,
in a little scene on the banks of the
Douro. A fisherman and his wife stood
at the water-side, opposite to a deep and
dangerous spot. Their child, boy of
about year old, was already habted in
the costume of his future life, that of
sailor the trousers tucked up above the
child's knees. Leading him towards the
rivers bank, the mother purposely wet
ted his tinny feet; he was alarmed, and
clung to her. With soft and affectionate
caresses, again and again she led him to
the water, until the little imp, embold,
ened by her encouragement, ventured
down alone, and, only just able to walk,
tottered unsteadily to the stream. l
trembled at the risk; few feet farther,
and the water deepened dangerously.
But there was no cause for fear. Guided
by the watchful eye, the mothers hand
was ever ready to catch the little scrap
of infant humanity, just in time to save
it, and to render my half uttered ex-
clamatlon unnecessary Que esta faZen-
do? (What is she doing y 'Esta lhe
tirando medo' (She is drawing out his
fear), was the reply y Owens Here and
There in Portugal.
A fishers wife to Douro's side
Guided her infants feet,
- While to persuade him oft she tried
Its Golden waves to meet:
At first he eyed them with delight,
Then to her hand he clung in fright.
"Nay, shrink not so, my bonny boy;
That stream thy home VIII be,
Where thou wilt earn in glad employ,
Food for thyself and me.
Merrily rocks thy Fathers boat
On yonder golden waves af1oat"
One baby foot the urchin dips,
Then, gathering more and more
New courage from her loving lips,
Speeds boldly down the shore,
And feels, by its warm clasp beguiled,
Thesriver's welcome to its child.
E'en thus a tenderer Hand, methought,
Guiding my earthly way,
Thus far my lingering steps hath brought,
And led me every day
To face by slow degrees the stream,
Which did at first so dangerous seem.
| His gentle voice my fear hath quelIed,
And bid me bravely go;
My shrinking feet His clasp upheld
"Nay, child why tremble so?
Thy Father still shall be thy Guide,
And bear thee DER the surging tide.
"Before thee lies thy daily task;
There too thy joy shall be;
Thy work for Me deign to ask,
For those thou loVSt and thee.
Thy Fathers love, the perils DER,
Shall give thee welcome on the shore"

Met hodist Recorder
Beer and Alcohol.

There is no hope of promoting temper
ance by the use of beer Rev. Dr. Walden,
of Cincinnati, discusses the malt liquor
question, and brings out some facts
THE beer consumed annually in the
United States contain 23,850,0O0 gallons
of alcohol. Ten pints of lager beer or
seven pints of ale contain the same guam
tity of alcohol as one of old Bourbon
Two glasses of lager beer contain as much
alcohol as half gill of Bourbon. The
United States breweries produce one half
as much alcohol as the distilleries. In
England, Wellington's beer-house act
was passed to diminish intemperance.
But committee of the British Parlia-
ment reported that the beer-house act
had done more than all other agencies to
increase drunkenness and prostitution,
and to brutalize the English laborers."

Examiner and Chronicle.
The Blackman's CurfeW.

The colored ministers of New Orleans,
fifty or more in number, have been noti-
fed by the Mayor that hereafter their
religious services must close at 10 Z. NJ,
and that those neglecting the new regu-
lation will be prosecuted Us disturbers of
the peace. Such parental solicitude for
the welfare of one class Of citizens over
another strikes US as very touching
though we confess a desire to know just
the logical process by which these mu-
nicipal men were led to conclude that
they had the right to designate the hour
when people in public religious session
should break up on pain of padlocks and
fines. Did his Honor the Mayo find that
10 o'clock Of a Sunday evening was the
Bible hour for dismissing prayer meet
ings? Or was it to his mind stated dis
tinctly in the Constitution of the United
States?
There is, moreover, a very notable dis
covery disclosed in the order of this
politico municipal functionary of New
Orleans, to wit: The 10 o'clock dividing g
line between sleeping and church hours
is applicable only to the colored race
1t is for them, and not for white people
as well, that the Mayor OF Cities even as
historic as New Orleans, are to ring a
colored religious curfew bell at 10 o'clock
Sunday evenings. At first sight the av-
erage man might be tempted to see
something ludicrous in the spectacle of
policemen's "billies" waving over the
heads of a peaceful congregation as soon
as the city clocks strike TO- But it should
be remembered that this new regulation
was probably not adopted without the
most anxious deliberation on the part OF
these men, who evidently have the good
of the colored people at heart. Who can
doubt that copy of the Constitution, to
say nothing of the Bible, was resting up
on the municipal knee when the great
discovery was made that for colored it is
a breach of the peace to worship Goo
after 10 o'clock, though perfectly proper
for the rest of creation and we suppose
these philosophic philanthropists are
planning other means for the elevation
of the black people. And yet incredu
lous heads will persist in thinking tha
ohe South has not altogether forgotten
its old class prejudices.
1t isn't every day that we catch a phi
losopher and political economist in
policeman coat, and we shall be pardon
ed, therefore, if we go on a step farthe
and ask these peripatetic thinkers
question or two. If 10 P M. is the lates
hour that it is safe for colored men t.
hold prayer meetings, at what hour ough
white men to leave the theatre, and hoy
late at night can Caucasian tippler pro-
itably take beer in German concer
garden? Or, if it is breach of the peac
for the black man to pray after 10 P M
what will New Orleans do about whit
mans dances at 3 A. M? We presum
such questions can be answered off han
at the mouth of the Mississippi, but u
here the subject of this curfew- bell
something of mystery.

Muscular Christians.-Two Tennessee
Ministers Engage in a Fist Fight

Last Saturday fight occurred between
Rev. j. Fl. Evans and Rev. J. S. White
formerly Principal of the Montezuma
High School They had quarreled about
the dismissal, some time before, of Mr..
Evans daughter, as music teacher Mrs
White taking her place White was af
terward removed, and what led to the
fight was his charge that Evans was re-
sponsible for it. Evans positively denied
all this, and one word bringing on anoth-
er, he finally told White that if he per-
sisted in reiterating this accusation, that
he had willfully and deliberately lied
and while Evans attention was called
away for moment White struck him
over the head with his fists, throwing
him backward out of the chair in which
he was sitting, his head striking some
stovewood just back of where Evans was
sitting After Evans fell backward,
White improved the opportunity by seiz-
ing one of the sticks of wood, and struck
Evans on the head with it, inficting g
quite painful wound on the forehead,
or rather near the edge of the hair, just
above left eye, also very severe cash on
the forehead, and the left eye is also very
badly bruised When White struck him
with the stick of wood, Evans got up and
seized him by the right arm and warded
off his licks But while Evans was hold
ing Whites right arm, White was all the
time beating Evans with his left, and
they both remained in this situation un-
til Mr.. Blackmon and Mrs. White came
to the rescue. When Mr.. Blackmon and
Mrs White entered the room Mr.. Evans,
becoming exhausted by the wounds he
had received, had fallen back on a bed
that was in the room, while White was
all the time assaulting and beating him,
and, from his acts, he seemed determin ed,
if he could, to take the life of his victim.
Mr. Evans wounds were dressed by DR..
l. w. Perkins, and he Immediately re-
paired to the church in the vicinity, and
held a quarterly conference, and was also
able to preach the same night, and, much
to his surprise, and to the surprise OF
every body, White made his appearance
at the meeting as if nothing unusual had
happened.

A letter was recently received at the
postoffice at Newport, R. l., addressed to
William Ellery Claiming, Newport, r. L.,
asking for his autograph, to be placed
with those of other famous men OF the
present generation. The letter closes
with the hope that God in his Infinite
mercy may grant the wish of thousands
and allow the honored man to live to see
the centennial of his humble existence" "
Mr.. Charming died in 1872, and the
writer of the letter was doubtless led to
indite it on reading of the proceedings
at the recent celebration in Newport in
commemoration of the Unitarian divine
