Tobacco Slavery.
2.-In-yest-i.p gate

The Hon. Neal Dow in an excellent
letter to the New York Witness on
Tobacco Slavery" writes:
"The tobacco habit is the most ex-
traOrdinary slavery to which men sub
ject themselves. To all persons at the
first it is offensive and loathsome in the
highest degree, except to those who
from childhood have been accustomed
to an atmosphere filled with tobacco
smoke, in which case their system does
not so much revolt at it. The habit is
usually acquired by boys at school and
at college, or at their apprenticeship,
because they think it smart and manly
and fast to smoke or chew, or both.
They do not understand, because they
have not been taught, that they are in
the way of acquiring an expensive,
loathsome, disgusting habit, from which
no possible advantage or good can
come, but from which many evils are
inevitable. do not think there is any
smoker or chewer of tobacco of forty
years of age who does not repent bit
terly that he has acquired the habit.
Entering gentleman's Office one day
| found him smoking.
'Ah Mr.. Blank said, what would
you give to be free from your tobacco
habit p
He paused moment, and then an
swered: 4 would give every dollar ]
have in the world
Then why do you not abandon it p
Il cannot do it; the habit has so en-
shaved me that l cannot throw it of
without more suffering than am able
to bear.'"

The Perils of Royalty.

A San Francisco paper gives the fol-
lowing as leaf from the Russian cars
diary:
SCOT up at a. m. and ordered my
bath. Found four gallons of vitriOl in
it, and did not take it. Went to break
fast. The Nihilists had placed two
torpedOes on the stairs, but did not
step on them. The coffee smelt so
strongly of prussic acid that was afraid
to drink it. Found scorpion in my left
slipper, but luckily shook it out before
putting it on. Just before stepping into
the carriage to go for my morning
drive, it was blown into the air, killing
the coachman and the horses instantly.
did not drive. Took light lunch off
Theoretically sealed American canned
goods. They can't fool me there. Found
poisoned dagger in my favorite chair,
with the point sticking out. Did not
sit down on it. Had dinner at 6 p. m.,
and made Baron LaischounOwouski
taste every dish. He died before the
soup was cleared away. Consumed
some Baltimore oysters and some Lon
don stout that have had locked up for
five years. Went to the theatre, and
was shot at three times in the first act.
Had the entire audience hanged. Went
home to bed, and slept all night on the
roof of the palace"

What Some Boys Read.

The young lady teacher of a Sabbath
school class of boys, in a New York
city church, proposing to present her
scholars with Christmas gift of books,
asked them to hand in the names of the
volumes they would like best. Two
applied for "Robinson CrusOe," and
one for "Swiss Family Robinson )" but
to her surprise there was il decided
majority of votes for "Indians." The
Ponca delegation were around, and the
lady surmised that sundry newspaper
paragraphs might have interested her
charge in them. But on looking into
the matter more closely, she found that
not the fate of Standing Bear, Mr..
WoOdwOrker, nor even of Bright Eyes
herself, had wrought on their young
hearts. One of the class had somehow
captured, and had shown to the rest, a
regular "bloOd and thunder" story of
the ''dime" order, replete with gore
shed in night assaults, with tomahawks
and scalping knives; and the hair-ifi-
ing perusal each boy wanted to enjoy
alone and at leisure.
These boys were not ragamuffins
either, but members of respectable
households; the church being on Fifth
Avenue, and one of the wealthiest in
the city. No wonder that something
of a damper was thrown on the fair
teachers plan for putting a useful class
of books where they would do the most
good but the practical lesson in boy
nature may be to her a fair cOmpensa-
ton. The question as to how much
these boys parents knew of their tastes
in books, and how much they did or
failed to do in shaping them, is sug-
gestive one. How about your boy

dividing line is not as prominent as it
nsed to be. This is well, and indicates
more than ever before, the true spirit
of Jesus Christ.
Clergymen, like the Beechers, like
Collier, Clarke, Cuyler, Storrs, Spur
geon and many others, lights of the
theological world, are awakening
more generous feelings in the human
head and heart; there is more geniali-
ty, more warmth, and more humanity,
because mOIe intelligence and refine
ment. 1t is doubtful if such men as
Cotton Mather and Jonathan Edwards
great aud talented as they were,
could get much of a following now.
Instead of mourning over this, we
ought to rejoice. In it we see the
progress of religious ideas. Certainly
we ought not to be less liberal than
Christ and his apostles were. Super
stition and bigotry are no part of
Christianity. True Christianity, like
the waters of mighty river, Overflows
its banks and gives the whole world a
chance to drink, while superstition,
selfish and intoerant, bottles it up and
sells it by the glass. In no previous
modern age, has there been better
thoughts of Christianity than now.
The public heart is greater and tenderer
now than ever before. The calamities
of the age prove this, like the great
fires of Chicago and Boston, and the
epidemics of New Orleans and Mem
phis, when national charity, profuse,
sweet, and tender, flowed from the pub
lie heart like rain from the clouds.
This feeling, so spontaneous and free,
was not the product of barbarism, nor
the offshoot of material education, but
of Christian cultivation. And we shall
see, as time passes by, that through
these same influences the charity of
humanity will increase.
SO we declare, that the tendency of
true liberality in Christianity, is to
tone up, to shade and soften, and to
guide with good sense as we'll as piety.
The best feelings of the heart are new
er developed by rods of iron, nor by
savage ferocity; but by love, that di-
vine power which seeks the interior
recesses of the soul, which sympathizes
with, and lifts up humanity. l believe
modern religious thought is gradually
curbing the coarser parts of human ma
ture, and bringing forward the finer
and the higher. Justice, mercy, love,
and kindness, the potent movers of re-
ligious progress, in my view, are in the
ascendent. While we have religious
fanaticism on the one hand, and gross
materialism on the other, we believe
the great middle class, representing
modern religious thought, most GER
tainly occupies the truest position, and
is destined to teach and save the world.
Through this, we see in the spiritual
heavens the beautiful star of hope, and
around all the scattered clouds the
fringes of silver lining.

The Tendency of Modern Religious
Thought.

Mr.. Editor We do not speak of
this subject by way of religious contro-
versy, but simply to notice how time
changes all things. A great change
has come to the mechanic arts, to the
methods of education, of agriculture,
war and government. The same law
of change has been at work upon the
religious thought of the age. We con-
ceive no change of religious principles,
but of the methods used in dissemiuat-
ing them.
The tendency of this change in relig-
iOus thought is toward liberalitv.
There is far less superstition and big
otry in churches and people to-day
than formerly. People look upon other
sects with more charity than ever be-
fore, and are more willing to cooperate
with each other. We think the ten
dency is to come nearer the kernel OF
things, as time passes away.
That a kind and cheerful liberality
is developing, is very plain. 1t is not
the liberality of immortality, but Of
Christian experience and good will.
These indications are everywhere, and
nowhere palmer than among the cler-
gy. Only occasionally do we hear that
dogmatic preaching that was heard
years ago. The straitest of sects have
softened their harsh theories, and the

In the far west, the destruction of
"big. game" is fearful, but this is due
mostly to Englishmen, who have gained
a most unenviable reputation in those
regions. The cockney idea of 'Iarge
bag" appears to be the great attraction
for these tourists, one of whom was
heard, a week or two ago, to boast of
having shot forty elk in one day, all of
which were left to the wolves. The
herdsmen and cowboys of the country
have vowed to kill this particular
sportsman should he ever return, and
to serve in the same way anyone who
thus abuses the hospitality of the coun-

Our Lost.

They quite leave us, friends who have passed
Through the shadows of death to the sunlight
above;
A thousand sweet memories are holding them fast
To the places they blessed with their presence
and love.
The work which they left and the books which
they read l ....
Speak mutely, though still with eloquence
And the songs that they sung and dear words that
they said,
Still linger and sigh on the desolate air.
And oft when alone, and as oft in the throng,
Or when evil allures us, or sin draweth nigh,
A whisper comes gently, Nay, do not the wrong,
And we feel that our weakness is pitied on high.
In the ew-threaded morn and the opaline eve,
When the children are merry crimsoned with
sleep,
We are comforted, even as lonely we grieve,
For the thought of their rapture forbids us to
weep.
We toll at our task in the burden and heat
OF Iifes passionate noon. They are folded in
peace.
1t is we'll We rejoice that their heaven is sweet,
And one day for us all the bitter will cease
We too, will go home DER the river of rest
AS the strong and the lovely before us have gone.
Our sun will go down in the beautiful west
To rise in the glory that circles the throne.
Until then we are bound by our love and our faith
To the saints who are walking in Paradise fair;
They have passed beyond sight, at the touching of
DEATH
But they live like ourselves, in Gods infinite
care

can't live as Christian here" If one
can't live as Christian "here," wher-
ever that may be, he can not do it any
where. The religion that will give way
to the world, instead of making the
world give way to it, isn't worth much.
Many grown men, in all probability,
had given up their Hebrew worship on
account of just that sort of feeling.
Four boys taught them they could live
true to Jehovah even in the court of
Nebuchadnezzar. And the secret of
their fidelity in the midst of such unu
sually seductive temptations was that
one of them "purpOsed in his heart that
he would not detile himself"

Vegetable Food for Poultry.

Any of the roOts-as potatoes, ruta
bagas, turnips, carrots, etc., when boil
ed and mixed with corn and rye meal
make an excellent and economical daily
food for poultry. In this form fowls are
fond of the diet, and it works very
kindly with them.
Most experienced breeders think it
necessary to dole out dry grain only to
their chickens, generally whole corn
from years end to years end. And
where large numbers of fowls are kept
it is often considered too troublesome
to supply cooked vegetables for the fowl
stock, the dry feed system being the
handiest, of course.
But there is nothing that is so great a
help to the poulterer, first and last,
either in the cost or through the bene-
fits to be derived to the stock. as a reg
ular feed every day of cooked vegeta-
bles. We have tried this practically
for years, and we have found it highly
advantageous, as compared with any
other method of feeding.
There are other kinds of vegetables
also, which are quite as valuable us are
the roots mentioned, for use among
poultry in their season. The leaves of
turnips or carrots, raw cabbages at any
time of the year, green corn in the ear,
etc., may be given to poultry freely,
and these will all be relished. But if
at least one half of food given to them
be of some sort of vegetable and green,
fowls will constantly be found in better
thrift and in finer condition than when
fed in any other way.-POultry Yard.

q The Brattleboro Phoenix vouches
for the following: A cat, which was
rearing family of kittens recently,
caught and adopted a rat. Last June
the rat was removed to another house,
and, some four months after his change
of residence, was carried on visit to
his old home. The cat, spying his
cage, sprang for him, but on recognize
ing her old protege made no further eff
fort to harm him, and the kittens, then
full grown, enjoyed an old-time frolic
with him. In the evening he is let out,
and runs about the room, climbing on
to people, whether friends OF strangers.
He appears to be destitute of fear, and
plays with a young cat, belonging to
one of the neighbors, with all the free
dom of kitten. He is perfectly harm
less, never being known to bite.
