aPlayInu Drunk as Papa Does. ;

" My early practice" said a doctor,
" was successful, and soon attained an
enviable position. / married lovely
girl two children were born to us, and
my domestic happiness was complete
But was invited often TO social parties
where wine was freely circulated, and j
soon became a slave to its power. Be
fore was aware of 1t was a drunkard.
My noble wife never forsook me, never
taunted me with bitter word, never
ceased to pray for my reformation. We
were wretchedly poor, so that my fami-
ly became pinched for daily bread. One
beautiful Sabbath my wife went to
church, and left me on lounge sleeping
off my previous nights debauch. 1 was
aroused by hearing something fall heav-
lily on the floor. opened my eyes and
saw my little boy Of six years tumbling
on the carpet. His older brother said to
him: Now get up and fall again.
That's the way papa does. Let's play
we are drunk watched the child as
he personated my beastly movements in
way that would have done credit to
any actor. 1 arose and left the house,
groaning in agony and remorse. i
walked off miles in the country thinking
of my abominable sin, and the example
1 was setting before my children. J.
solemnly resolved that with Gods help,
would quit the cup, and / did. No
lecture 1 ever heard from Mr.. Cough
moved my soul like the spectacle of my
own sweet boys, playing drunk as papa

A Tough Story.

There is tough story from Leadville.
1t is told by the officiating physician;
The middle part of last week one of
the best young-ladies in Leadville-she's
sweet as a peach, too-came to my Office
in the evening, and told me with great
deal of embarrassment that she wanted
me to help her out of some trouble
Well, from her manner, my suspicious
were aroused and began to question
her closely. And what the deuce do
you think? Well the confounded little
fool had had the name of the young
fellow whom she used to be engaged to
tatooed on the calf of her leg. Now she
she's just about to get married to quite
different party, and had sense enough to
see that the marking would likely kick
up big row in the family. She was
awfully distressed and ready to submit
to almost anything, even surgical oper-
alton, to "wipe out the spot"
/ was puzzled at first, but after studying
over it little while, happened to re-
member that had read somewhere in
some old scientific magazine that tattoo
ing may be removed by going over the
design with needle dipped in ink. 1t
was forlorn hope, but thought
would try it, and, taking her little foot
delicate position, wasn't it for mar

letters. 1t must have hurt, but she new

Praying and Giving.

A rich youth in Rome had suffered
from dangerous illness. On recover
ing his heart was filled with gratitude,
and he exclaimed, 30, Thou all-suffic-
lent Creator; could man recompense
Thee, how willingly would give Thee
all my possessions" Hermes, the herds
man, heard this, and said to the rich
youth " All good gifts come from
above thither thou canst send nothing.
Come follow me-" He took him to q
hut, where there was nothing but
wretchedness and misery. The father
lay on bed of sickness, the mother
wept, the children were destitute Of
clothing and crying for bread. Hermes
said, "See here, an altar for the sacrifice;
see here the Lords representatives. y
The youth assisted them bountifully
and the poor people called him an angel
of God. Hermes smiled and said, "Thus
turn always thy grateful countenance,
first to Heaven and then to earth.

A Peculiar London Feature.

L I1L uuSb JdIuS vi AOHuOu III Iuo tlule
i of Dickens " Boffin's Bower' were
nothing in comparison to what they
were twenty years after, owing to its
vast and rapid growth, its sanitary ar
rangements, and the contending rivalry
of the contractors to get the work, and
the vast amount of wealth invested in
its collection. Indeed, great fortunes
have been made as well as lost in this
very business, and corporations of Lon
don, instead of paying to have the dust
removed, were receiving five and six
thousand pounds per annum for that
privilege, so that to be dust contractor"
either meant to be very rich man or a
wealthy company and now to describe
the system of their work.
One of the things that strikes stran-
ger, and more especially foreigner, in
London, if he happens to stroll that
way about half-past six in the evening,
especially in the summer, is, in crossing
Hyde or the Queens park, to meet a
number of women and girls, poorly clad
and looking very dirty, each one with a
large flag basket on her head filled to
overfiowing and looking heavy enough
to crush her into the earth, and all hur-
rying toward Westminster, in the poor
part of which most of them live. They
are returning home from their work in
the dust yards of Paddington.
Come with me reader, and 1 will in
troduce you there at their busiest time.
AS we turn into the wharf on the banks
of'the canal, where the yards are situ-
ated, one is surprised at the immense
number of large one-horse carts going
in loaded and coming out empty. They
are strongly built and alike, and very
large, requiring short ladder for the
men to load them with magnificent
Flemish horses, not one of which cost
less than e100 to e125 each, and strong
heavy harness in proportion. Each cart
has the name of the contractor and the
cart written on it in large, white letters
and figures, so that the public can make
report of any neglect, i'll behaviour, or,
in fact, anything that would warrant it,
the authorities being very strict as to
this. Here we are at the first yard, but
we will go on to the next, the largest
one.
Here, what busy scene bursts upon
the view; carts entering one after an
other, continually, each driver handing
in at the Office window ticket with the
number of his cart as tally as to how
many loads he collects in week-the
men being paid by the load. Having
discharged his load, he goes out by the
other gate, so as not to clash with the
incoming ones. Within the yard
| (which stands upon from two to three
acres of ground, independent of offices,
stables, etc., all seems hustle and con-
fusion but it is not so. Each one knows
his or her work, and has to do it, too all
being paid 10y the piece, so there is no
loafing or skulking, as it is called, there.
Along the yard, from the front, or road
to the canal, are rows of women facing
each other, with a hill of dust between
them, sometimes four, sometimes six and
even eight rows.

How to Cure the Worst Drunkard.

of diluted alcohol. Afterward strain
and evaporate it down to half pint
Directions for its use: Dose-a teaspoon
full every three hours. the first and sec
ond days, and occasionally moisten the
tongue between the doses. 1t acts like
quinine, and the patient call tell by
headache if he is getting too much. The
third day take as previous, but reduce
the dose to one-half teaspoonful. After
ward reduce the dose to fifteen drops,
and then down to ten, then down. to
five drops. To make cure it takes
from five to fifteen days, and in extreme
cases thirty days. Seven days are about
the average in.which cure can be ef-
fected.

real and true representative of the
American energetic citizen, and his
readiness to labor; is a splendid exam
pie of the self-made man, in the noblest
meaning of the word. For twenty
years he has occupied seat i'm the
counsels of the Nation, and has ac-
qulred in all questions of public inter-
est and Importance clearness of view
and perception, an acuteness and posi-
tiveness of judgment which would nat
urally stamp him to be the leader of
his party. The difference between him
and Hancock is just as great and pro-
nounced as between Grevy and Mao
Mahon. What the country needs is
citizen President, n statesman with
BRAIN, general knowledge, honest pur-
pose and matured and broad views; but
not soldier, whose merits can simply
be reduced to the fact that he not as
an Independent commander but as a
sub-commander-did always his duty
bravely and truly.
This conviction will, before the day
OF election, gain ground in those circles
where now jubilant excitement over
Hancocks nomination predominates,
simply for the reason that the danger
of Tilden's nomination has been luckily
prevented. Twenty-eight years ago, at
the time when the hoary-headed Gen.
Winfield Scott was nominated by the
Wing party as their candidate for the
Presidency, the whole world believed
his election was certain beyond any
doubt. But he was defeated by an in
significant lawyer from New Hamp-
shire, unknown to fame. Hancock is
not by far the celebrated military chief
tain that Scott was, and Garfield GER
tainly not so insignificant a man as
