President WOolsey's "CaInn
View'' Of Temperance.

An interview, filling several col
umns, is published in the New Yorl
Tribune. with President Woolsey
of Yale college, in which he ssyi
that his views are substantially
the same as those of Chancellor
Howard Crosby on the temperance
question. AS to the question of ex.
ample and motive, DIR. Woolsey
says: "My physician advises me, in
consideration of my age and state OF
health, to take two glasses of sherry
daily, but l don't do it. | think ]
use about half glass each day. But
if | thought any one within the
range of my influence was likely to
become a drunkard through my in
diligence | should refuse to take
even that" To young man com-
ing TO him for advice, he says he
would tell him not to allow himself
to have any drinking habits, but
would not advise him to pledge
himself not to drink, but to abstain
from principle. 1t is not necessary
to regard drinking a glass of wine a
sin in itself, but every young man
should see that it is better for him
self, and especially for weak asso-
ciates who may be under his influ-
ence, to use no strong drink, and
therefore he should decide not to
indulge. On the general question,
DIR. Woolsey says: 81 do not think
the advocates of the total abstinence
pledge are likely to reform the coun-
try. They have advanced about as
far as they can go. 1t is better to
advocate reform on DIR. Crosby's
grounds than on theirs, | think. As
to the use of light wines and ale, it
would be better for the nation if
they were introduced freely enough
to abate the consumption of fiery
liquors. Intemperance is an evil
which cannot be overcome at once,
and reformsrs must be content to
regulate the sale of liquors so far as
their work relates to a certain part
of large communities. A perma-
nent temperance reform must come
through the establishment of char
acter on just and right principles"
These are wsrds of truth, sober
ness and experience. Omaha Re

THE SUN CHOLERA MEDICINE
More than twenty years ago, when
it was found that prevention of chol-
era was easier than the cure, a pre-
scriptiou drawn up by eminent
doctors was published in the Sun,
and it took the name of "the San
cholera medicine" Our contem-
porary never lent its name to bet
ter article. We have seen it in con-
stant use for nearly two-score years
and found it to be the best remedy
for looseness of the bowels ever yet
devised. No one who has this by
him and takes it in time will ever
have the cholera. We commend il
to all our friends. Even when no
cholera is anticipated it is an excel
lent remedy for collie, diarrhea, etc /.
Take equal parts oftincture of Cay
enne pepper, tincture of opium, tin
cture of rhubarb, essence of pepper
mint and spirits of camphor. Mix
well. Dose, fifteen to thirty drops
in little cold water, according to
age and violence of symptoms, re-
peated every fifteen or twenty min

Thought 10 Made no Difference.

That tenon does not fit the mortise
by a quarter of an inch, said an en-
ployer TO young carpenter who
had just begun to work for him.
81 thought for a garden gate you
would not be particular, and it wo'd
make no difference" answered the
young man.
But ii did make difference. 1t
made just the difference between the
young carpenter having a steady
summer job at good wages, and hav-
ing his time unoccupied on bis
hands.
The employer found no further
fault; but when the gate was finish
ed he paid the maker without an
other word and dismissed him. The
next day there was another man in
his place. He happened to be man
who thought it did make difference
how everything was done; he al
ways did his best; and kept his sit
uation TO the end of the season.
So it happens. Frequently some
little thing which was not expected
to attract attention, is noticed by
some one to whom the excellence of
the work has commended itself, and
the man who has made painstaking
the rule of all his labor, is surprised
by a sudden and unlocked for acces-
sion of good fortune. He has been
brought into note by some inconsid-
cred trifle, which was well done
merely because it was his habit to
do everything as we'll as possible.
On the other hand, many a man
who is lamenting his i'll fortune, and
don't know what to attribute il to,
owes it to some such csrelessness in
the way of doing his work as that
which doomed the young carpenter
to summer of profitless idleness.
Men are by no means always told
by what particular act they are
judged; but any good performance
is always liable to make, and any
bad performance is always liable to
mar fortune.

Last Friday evening Isaac Nc
Pheely received some severe injuries
and narrowly escaped death, by
being tossed and trampled upon by
a bull. The bull threw him into the
air over his back, Mr.. McPheely
striking the ground with such stun
ming force that he could not rise be-
fore the animal again tossed him.
the bull then rushed at Mr.. McPheely
as he lay PROSTATE on the ground,
and holding him down with horn
on either side of his body, struck
him several times with his head. He
finally drew back few steps, and
Mr.. McPheely crept behind a har-
vester, where he remained until help
reached him. 1t was found that two
ribs were broken, and he was severe
ly bruised. but it was thought that
no internal injuries were sustained.
Mr.. McPheely is over 60 years of
age, which will make his recovery
slow.-Seodyd Reporter.

Facts.

True love always makes a man
better, no matter who the woman il
who inspires it.
He who does good for goods sake,
seeks neither praise nor reward,
though sure of both at last.
What men want is not talent, ii is
purpose; not the power to achieve,
but the will to labor.
We all know what our duties are,
but we dodge them; we all know
what our rights are, and we are
bound to have them.
A man has no more right to say
an uncivil thing than to act one-no
more right to say rude thing to an
other than to knock him down.
A narrow minded Christian lead
ing a life of crooked prejudices and
doing it conscientiously makes more
atheists than all the infidel books
ever written.
If you wish success in life, make
perseverance your bosom friend, ex-
perience your wise counsellor, cau-
ton your elder brother, and hope
your guardian.
The man whom you can treat with
unreserved familiarity, at the same
time preserving your dignity and
his respect, is a rare companion, and
his acquaintance should be cnltiva-
ted.
Doubt has been the great discov-
erer. To question an old lie is usu-
ally the first step toward a new
truth. Ii is an act of heroism to
dispute a moss-grown error out of
existence.
Profanity never did any man the
least good. No man is richer, hap
pier, or wiser for il. Ii commends
no one TO society il is disgusting to
refined people and abominable to
the good.
Men pray for holiness as if il were
something entirely apart from their
every day life, something that had
nothing at all TO do with their con-
duct i'm their domestic, social and
business relations.
Experience is the Lords school,
and they who are taught by him
usually learn by the mistakes they
make that they have no wisdom,
and by the slips and falls they meet
with that they have no strength.
Shorn of its high commerce with
the Unseen, the degraded mind
shrinks with fear from what its d.
vine intuitiOns warn it must yet be,
and trembles to die, because it has
not found what makes il sacred and
lofty to live.
The Columbus journal., 1881-09-07

The world demands a practical
religion, a religion that men can take
into their business with them, a re-
ligion that keeps "from evil while
following the plow, at work in the
harvest field, behind the counter, in
the counting room, at home among
friends, abroad among strangers,
through the week, on Sunday, and
in every relation of life. People are
becoming more disgusted every day
with a religion that can be put on
or off at will, like an elegant gar
ment too nice TO be worn except on
Sundays or occasions when it is
necessary to make a good impress
sion in order to sway greater in
fluence for the promotion of selfish
interests. True religion does not
consist in long faces and sentimental
sighs, a Sunday help and a week
day hindrance; but il is real, prac-
tical delight producing smiles not
frowns, pleasure not pain, higher
appreciation of life and its respon-
sibilities, and not the impression
that life is only bore and the more
we appear bored by it the better
christians we appear to the world.
Not sentiment, sighs and words, but
faith, love and good works, make us
blessing to man and a fit subject
for heaven.

One of the strongest points in late
divorce petition in Kansas was the
allegation that during the twenty
six years of connubial bliss the hus-
band had never built a fire, split a
stick ofwood, or put up clothes-line.
The reader will now be prepared for
the allegation that followed, viz. :
"And the plaintiff cannot recall a
kiss, a look of tenderness or word
of affection addressed to her by the
defendant during the last twenty
years." OF course not. The hus-
band who avoids the ak and the
wood-pile, and doesn't take comfort
in stretching clothes-lines and build
ing fires, regards home as a board
ing-house and his wife as a bottle
washer.

A Lazy Boys Luck.

A Vermont farmer had a lazy,
shiftless son who everybody said
ought to go out and feed swine Oh
small salary, but who refused almost
to feed himself. Everybody agreed
that he was good for nothing, one
day the old man ambled him out of
the house with the toe of his boot.
The boy went away and invented the
lemon-squeesers, and within year
had enough money in his pocket to
buy his old dad out ten times over.
He made all together $4,000 from
the patent, and the man he sold to
made 100000 in three years. There
are two morals here. Kick your
boy into luck, and then kick him a.
gain to keep him from selling out
at too low price.

How They salt a Claim.

81 wish you would explain to me
all about this sailing of claims that
hear SO much about" said a meek
eyed tenderfoot to a grizzly old
miner who was panning about six
ounces of pulverized quartz. "I
don't see what they want to salt a
claim for, aud l don't understand
how they do it."
well, you see, hot season like
this they have to salt the claim lots
OF times to keep it. A fresh claim
is good enough for a fresh tender
foot, but the old miners won't look
at anything but a picked claim"
"You know what quartz is, prob
sbly?"
"No."
"Well, every claim has quartz.
Some more and some less. You find
out how many quartz there are and
then put in so many pounds of salt
to a quart. Wild cat claims REQUIRE
more salt, because the wild cat spoils
quicker than anything else"
"Then, again, you often grub stake
q man
. well, what is a grub stake?"
"Well, a grub stake is a stake that
the boys hang their grub on, so that
they can carry il. Lots of mining
men have been knocked cold by a
blow from grub stake.
"What | wanted to say, though,
was this: you will probably at first
strike free milling poverty, with in
dicstions of something else. Then
you will no doubt sink till YOU
