seIections by the w. L. u.

Many refined and respectable peopl
like to shut their eyes to ugly facts
and their ears to heart-rending erie
that disturb their attempts to lul
their conscience to sleep. Sam | ny
broth ar's keeperl" "Can l not dripl
wine or besr or spirits, at home, and dt
vhat / will with my own" No, no
now, and live up to the full duty of q
Christian who is to deny self for the
good of others.
The only reasons assigned for uphold
ing licenss laws are that people nave q
right to buy and use drink, aud that
the government should regulate the
sale TO lessen the crimes the traffic pro-
duees, and get money out Of the luxu-
ries of the people. Here is specimen
of the result Of the completely of the
State with drinking, and of its officers
in breaking the law the State provides
to moderate the evils it allows.
Howard Crosby Is well known miu-
lister Of the gospel of Christ, and Presi-
dent of the Society tor the Prevention
of Crime in New York City.
"City, Feb. 26th, lSso.-Rer. DR..
Crosby,--Dear Sir: l am a broken
hearted wifs and mother, all on account
CT the hellish rum-shops being kept on
Sundays. My husband had seventeen
dollars last Sunday morning when he
left US at nine o'clock. We were near.
ly famished from cold and hunger. He
took all his dollars tc Clineh's, corner
OF Forty-ninth street, on Tenth Avenue,
and stopped there till noon on Sunday,
he then went to Bu,kley's, corner OF
Forty-ninth street and Eleventh Aven-
ue, and drank there till four o'clock;
be then returned home and kicked and
beat me till | fell nearly dead. All /!
Doctor, for Gods sake, save him from
hell and my dear children from ruin.
He lett four dollars at CIinch's and five
dollars u Buckley's, ell on the Sabbath
day, with his poor wife naked and his
five children in misery. All! save him
and them and me, doctor, from Clinch's
and Buckley's rum-shops. Get your
officer to so next Sunday to their second
side-door round each corner. Oh. do,
sirl oh, do, sir!"
This led to the arrest Of the liquor
dealers, but it can SCARCELY be hoped
that the police and courts will enforce
The penalty. May the cries Of broken
hearted mothers, wives, daughters and
sisters be heard in heavon, and the
of men be so aroused that
With one consent this traffic shall be
from the land.

Bed-Bugs I'm co Ers.

The bed-bug has actually got into
court at St. Louis, so that even the
learned judge commented on its blood
thirsty cGpers in his instructions TO the
jury. Mr.. and Mrs. Garvey engaged
a months board at Mrs. Peckman 8
hostslry, but left after one nights ex-
perienoe of her bed bugs, as they claim
cd. Other boarders at the house testi-
fed that the midnight marauders had
not vexed their slumber, but the Judge
told the jury that if they thought there
wsre bugs there they we're to Justify
the Garveys in leaving the house. They
sided with the landlady, however, and
gave her $3.50 just half of what she
claimed.

THE sfoRn.

The tempest RACES Wild and high,
The waves lit up their voice and cry
Fierce answers to the angry sky;
Through the black night and driving rain
A. ship Is struggling all in vain,
To live upon the stormy main; ,
Miserere Domino!
Tho thuuders rear, the lightnings glare,
Vain IT Is now to strive or dare,
A CRY & !es up ol great despair ,
The stormy voices OF the main,
The moaning wind and pelting rain
Beat on the nursery window pare;
Miserere Domino
Warm curtain'd was the little bed,
Soft pIlOw'd was the little head,
s'The storm will wake the chiid," they said
Miscrere Domino!
Covering among his pillows white
Ne praYs, his blue eyes dim with fright
''Father, cave those at sea tonight"

his bald head, took his hat and said:
"No, Johnny has the cholera infantum.
Just called to tell you he wouldn't be

and kicked himself.
A misohievous boy had laid trap in

Her eyes began to grow din about

Yonr papers are a great comfort

thing to put Az in ny mia and

service to me in time t. come If
a man can read he can get a good

he can keep up with the world,
and make himself an entertaining

upon almost any subject. Book
learning is q very good thing, but

that but he never reads the news

his neighborhood. Some papers
are not much in appearances, but

lots Of land at public cutlery, and
one of the lots was in my own
country. So l inquired about the
lot, and wrote down to my friend
to attend the sale, and run it up to
fifty dollars. He did so, and
bought the lot for me at thirty do
lars. and sold it to the man it ad
joined, for a hundred dollars, and
SO l made sixty-ei ght dollars clear
by taking that paper. My father
told me that when he was a young
man he saw a notice in a paper
that a school-teacher was wanted
ia a distant country and he went
down there and got the situation.

Death Of Gov. Hebert.

On Sunday last, in New Orleans
ex Gov. P. O. Hebert departed
this life. He was born in 1918
at Bayou Goula. on his father
plantation. At an early age he
graduated at the St. James Col
lege and entered West Point in
1895, graduating in 1910, with
Hancock, Wheeler, Sherman,
