What Stopped Him. .

WAdS OIOppeu HILL
Detroit Free Press.l
Some weeks since, while a party of
Detroit surveyors were running a
railroad line down III Indiana the
survey carried them across a cemetery.
In the course of the survey a small
stake was driven into a grave, and be-
fore it was removed and carried ahead,
a lathy, long legged Hoosier over
hauled the men; peeled off his coat,
and danced around as he yelled out:
"ShOw ME the men who dared drive
that stake in that gravel"
"We are going to remove it," quiet
ly replied one of the party.
81 don't care if you are-show me
the mani"
"Well, Pm the man, and what are
you going TO do about it?" said the
big man of the lot as he stepped out:
Didn't you know that was my
wife's grave?" asked the Hoosier with
a considerable fall of his voice.
mo sir"
'Well, it is, sir-my first wife's
grave"
''And what of that?"
"What of that Why-why, sir, if 1
hadn't married a second one about a
month ago and kinder forgot my grief
I'd take that stake and pin you to the
fence with it! It's lucky for you fel-
lers-mighty lucky for you that don't
feel half as bad as I did"

Temperance.
A WOman's Appeal to the Medical
Profession.

A WOman's Appeal to the Medical
Profession.
If you are to prescribe alcohol in
any form, to ladies, as a convenient
and pleasant remedy, stay a moment
and consider the probable conse-
quences. Would you wish to give
fresh justification to the general asser-
tion-Only too well founded-that it
is the docoors who teach the women
to drink?
Will you deliberately, by your pre-
scriptiOn, teach any one woman the
habit of drinking?
Do you think it right to prescribe
what you believe may relieve the
present malady, but is very likely to
produce a far worse disease, even the
liking for, by and by, the craving for
strong drink
Have you any right-if I may ven
ture to ask you so questiOn-have
you any right to lead women who en-
trust their health to your care, out
upon the slippery path down which so
many have gone, and are going, into
disgrace, and shame, and death?
You know, as l do, that they who
takes stimulants to relieve "a sink
ing," is walking iutO quicksand in
which she may soon sink overhead.
1 earnestly beg you to study the
other remedies which may answer the
purposes of alcohol, with no such
dreadful risks; and 20 prescribe such
ins.ead; thus doing away, in your own
case at least, the reprOach justly cast
upon your profession.
When shall we cease to hear the
despairing cry, cit was the doctor who
first taught me to drink, and now
cannot resist the thirst, I must die a
dvunkard!" .
And here there lies in the back
ground another responsibility. 1t is
well proved that children inherit the
tastes and tendencies of their parents,

Sir Ashley Cooper gives as the re
suits of his medical experience that
"spirits and poison are synonymous
terms" and DR.. Carpenter, the most
distinguished of writer's on Physiology,
declares that alcohol deteriorates ir
stead of sustains the bodily strength.
DIR. w. w. Hall, second to none as a
popular and practical authority in all
questions of food and hygenie, says that
''pure alcohol has no nitrogen, and
therefore cannot add one particle of
strength or power to labor" The
apparent strength which it gives is not
an added strength, but only an exces-
sive draft upon the strength already
possessed Ia draft in advance, a using
of ones vital income before it is due, a
living upon ones principal. Conse-
quently, when the system comes to use
the strength naturally prepared for it
and finds it has been already appro-
priate'l, it "sinks" under the dissap-
pOintment, so to speak, to a depth pro-
Portioned to the potency or quantity of
the alcohol used.

Ta1leyrand's Talent.

Talleyrand's talent for saying an impert;.
nent thing neatly was frequently exercised
at the expense of the sovereign he had re-
stored-Louis XVIII. He had sent his wife,
from whom he was separated, to England.
Under the Decazes ministry she returned to
France in spite of their compact, an event
which her husband did not fail to attribute
to royal inspiration. The king, with malice
aforethought and a touching display of in
nocence and solicitude, asked the grand
chamberlain at his lever if it was true Mad
anne de Talleyrand had returned.
Perfectly true, sire. 1t is my little goth
of March, replied Talleyrand.
On still another occasion, Talleyrand cast
up to Louis his fight from the Tuileries on
Napoleon's return from Elba He had in
the Chamber of Peers opposed the Spanish
expedition with such warmth as to fall into
complete disgrace, and the king resolved to
give him the broadest of broad hints to leave
the court. oGF
"Are you not thinking of leaving Parish"
said the king. '..tt
mo, sire, unless your majesty should be
going to Fontainebleau, when shall have
the honor of following, to discharge my du-
ties near your majesty's person"
81 mean,' said the king, ''do you know
how far 1t is from Paris to Valencay?"
''Sre, it is just IA leagues further than from
Paris to Client"
And when Charles X. said to him on the
eve of the Revolution of July: ga sovereign
who is menaced has to choose between the
throne and the scaffold" ne
'Your majesty forgets the post-chaise,"
politely said M. de Talleyrand.

That evenings happiness | will pass over,
because have a horror of depicting accu-
rately love scene, more especially a two
fold one, as in this case it proved to
be. The next morning l attempted
to reprove Walter for the letter
he had sent me the day before,
but he only laughed merrily at the mention
of it, assuring me that he was convinced be-
yond the possibility of doubt before he
wrote the letter that Roberts life and happi-
ness were both in imminent danger. And
then Georgia shook her fingers menacingly
toward me, and babe me not complain of
other peoples deception while there was
such load of guilt upon my own shoulders.
The double plot is to end in double we'd
ding; and before another month is past the
merry bells of Cadlands are to usher in the
happy morning.
