THeIH STORY.
william winter.1


They walked beside the Summer sea,
And watched the slowly dying sun;
And "O," she said, "come back TO me,
Ny love, my own, my only oner'
But while he kissed her fears away
The gentle waters Kissed the shore,
And sadly Whispering, seemed to say,
He'll come no more! he'll come no more.
Alone beside the Autumn sea
She watched the sombre death Of day;
And co." she said, remember me,
And love me, darliug, far awayr
A cold wind swept the *atery gloom,
And, darkly whispering on the shore,
Sighed out the secret of bis doom
He'll come 10 more! he'll come no more
In peace beside the Winter sea
A white grave glimmers in the moon;
And waves are fresh and clouds are free
And shrill winds pipe . careless time.
One sleeps beneath the dark blue wave,
And one upon the lonely shore;
But, joined In love beyond the grave,

Responsibility of Parents.

The home is the fountain of civiliZa-
ton. Americans are hOme-making
people. Our laws are made in the
home. There are trained voters who
shape the course of our country. The
things said there give bias to character,
far more than do sermons and lectures,
newspapers and books. No other au-
diences are so susceptible and recep-
tive as those gathered about the table
and the freside. No other teachers
have the acknowledged divine right TO
instruct that is granted without chal-
lenge to parents. The fountain of our
national life is under their hands.
They can make it send forth waters
bitter or sweet, for the death or the
healing of the people.
Intemperance strikes first and most
fatally at home. The evils most dan
gerous to social order depend upon
dram drinking for their existence.
This too is the scene of its most cruel
and beastly devilisms. Here it smites,
and stabs, and kills. The home must
he guarded against its Outrages, or the
country will be ruined.
The best work against intemperance
must be done in this center and seat of
power. Parents have it in their power
to train their children to abhor that
which is evil and cleave to that which
is good; and they owe them this duty.
They bring their children into exis-
tence. They hold them under their
hand till the young life has taken a
bias that will last through eternity.
Usually the tiny, fitting craft has its
PROV turned toward heaven or hell
before the parents hand lets go the
helm. This ought to startle careless
people out of their Indifference. 1t
ought to drive them to lives of. piety /;
for how can they teach that which they
have not learnedR How can they i'm
part what they do not possess
Parents must teach by example.
Precept has small authority unless
backed by example. For the chill
dren's sake all liquors ought to he ban
ished from the home. The story is
most pitiful, and quite too common to
need repetition 81 learned to drink at
my fathers table. My mothers hand
first passed me the cup that is working
my damnation."
In every home there ought to be the
right reading on this as on every sub
iect. We are what we read-Or we
read what we areas you will. One
thing is certain if we really care mnch
about this horrible traffic, we will see
to it that our children have books and
papers that keep them in sympathy
with the efforts made for its prohibit
ton.
By personal example, by look, by
reading, and by prayer, we may make
an atmosphere that shall set and keep
our households right on this great ques-
ton. Only TINS can we hope to save
ourselves, and those whom God has
given to be with US, from the tide that
sweeps to destruction so many of the
noblest and best.-F. f. W.

College Secret Societies.

There Is growing sentiment against
the secret society of our American col
leges. The University of California
has made them unlawful under the
rules of the institution. The editor of
the Milwaukee Christian Statesman
says: "We look upon these school boy
cabals as relics of a worn out age and
an un-American civilization. They
meet no want of college life. The
young man who gets his lessons and
makes good use of the open literary
societies connected with all colleges
has neither time nor natural desire for
the secret clan of "a few choice spirits.
Even if they were societies aiming at
mental culture, they would not be
needed. One literary company is
enough for the student and efforts in
public are better for making men than
essays and speeches in private. But
literature is not in the practice of these
orders, though in the bylaws of some
of them. In general, their inspiration
Is smoke, song, story, supper; and the
song is often ribald, and the story such
as smutches money and imagination
Aud bad drink is but little less CON-
mon in their private 'roosts' than vul-
garity; and cards are stabbed there
We have ridden the goat and know
his smell. 1t would grossly offend any
loving Christian parent. We have
seen many brilliant college compan.
ion sacrifice intelligence and character
to these senseless college idols, ant
graduate a confirmed boy-drunkart
through nothing but secret society in
tuences. They also engender thos,
petty boy hatreds, jealOusies, prou,
flesh between ins aud outs and between
rival societies, which are a bane t,
scholarship, morality and character
They are a large and perpetual ex
pense-an ever thirsty leech on tb
