Our Golunrn.
EDITED BY W. c. T. U.
President Garfield and Temperance.


At memorial temperance meeting held in
Pearl Inn, Sabbath, Oct ?, Cleveland, o., Mrs.
W. A. Ingham presiding, the following was
presented by the Rev. Alanson Wilcox, an
intimate personal friend of the President:
Gar1ield's life also teaches the lesson Of
temperance. He prefaced his knowledge ana
added thereunto temperance. The home in
which he was reared knew no strong drink.
All through his boyhood he never touched
the intoxicating cup. When he drove hOrses
on the Ohio Canal ample opportunities pre-
sented themselves when he might have yield
ed to the temptation to drink, uthe Stunned
the offer, and grew strong in right principles.
Working-men often find this vice of drink
their worst enemy. Garfield worked as a
Woodchopper and carpenter ana aitef each
day of hard honest toll he lay down to sleep
at night sober man. He saw and felt that
this was the only road to succeed in life. AT
one time he preached the gospel, and often
lectured on this subject. He held that tenn
perance is manliness, selfcontrol, and not
merely abstaining from the use OF 1ntox1-
eating drinks, 1t iucludes physical develop
meDt, he held, and under this purpose ne
would regularly take exercise in the morn
ing and so deYelope himself wonderful
physical organization This physical ability,
as the result of temperate habits and dis
cipline, prolonged his life after the shot of
the assassin had pierced his manly body.
Had he not been an abStainer he never
could have done so much work for the public
during the past twenty years Other men
drank and went down to oDscur1ty and the
grave. He used no wine in his family, nor
in any other way. His was home of tenn
perance and Christian graces. By these
principles, by good habits, hard study, and
constant devotion to duty. he went forward
to the highest position within the gift of his
countrymen The Book says: g No drunk
ard shall inherit the kingdom of heaven -
nor can drunkard attain to the best things
in this world.

Mass, Is so remarkable that we beg to ask for
it the attention of our readers. He says: "In
the fall of 1876 l was taken with a violent
bleeding of the lungs followed by a severe
cough. 1 soon began to lose my appetite and
flesh. l was so weak at one time that could
not leave my bed. In the summer 1877 l was
admitted to the City Hospital. While there

big as a half dollar. expended over a hum

that was dead gave up hope but "a friend
told me of DR.. VIM. Halls Balsam for the
Lungs. laughed atmy friend, thinking that
my case was incurable, but / got bottle to
satisfy him, when to my surprise and gratifi-
cation, commenced to feel better. My hope,
once dead, began to revive and to-day feel
in better spirits than have the past three
years.

that every one afflicted with Diseased Lungs
will be induced to take DR.. VIM. Halls Balsam
for the Lungs, and be convinced that Con-
sumption Gan be Cured. ] have taken two
bottles and can positively say that it has done
more good than all the other medicines

PERILs OF THE DEEP. world
renowned swimmer, Capt. Paul BOyton,
in an interview with newspaper cor
respondent at the sea shore, related the
following incidents in his experience:
Reporter =" Captain Boyton, you
must have seen large part of the
world ?''
Capt. Boyton.-'' Yes sir, by the aid
of my Rubber Life Saving Dress, 1 have
travelled over 10, 900 miles on the rivers
Of America and Europe; have also
been presented to the crowned heads of
England, Eaanee, Germany, Austria,
Belgium, Italy, Holland, Spain and
Portugal, and have in my possession
forty-tWO medals and decorations /
have three times received the order of
knighthood, and been elected honorary
member Of committees, clubs, orders
and societies.
Reporter. Were your various trips
accompanied by much danger ?'
Capt. Boyton.-" That depends on
what you may call dangerous. During
my trip down the river Tagus, in Spain,
l had to "shoot" one hundred and two
waterfalls, the highest being about 95
feet, and innumerable rapids. Crossing
the Straits of Messina, had three ribs
broken in a fight with sharks and
coming down the Somane, river in
France, received a charge of shot from
an excited and startled huntsman. Al
though all this was not very pleasant,
and might be termed dangerous, fear
nothing more on my trip than intense
colds for, as long as my limbs are free
and easy, and not cramped or benumbed
I am all right. OF late / carry stock
of st. Jacobs Oilin my little boat, 1.-THE
Captain calls it g Baby Mine, !" and has
stored therein signal rockets, thermom-
eter, compass, provisions, etc. )-and |
have had but little trouble. Before
starting out ] rub myself thoroughly
with the article, and its action on the
muscles is wonderful. From constant
exposure l am somewhat subject to
rheumatic pains, and nothing would
ever benefit me, until got hold of this
Great German Remedy. Why, on my
travels have met people who had been
suffering with Rheumatism for years
by my advice they tried the Oil, and it
cured them. | would sooner do with
out food for days than be without this
remedy for one hour. In fact 1 would
not attempt trip without it,"
The Captain became very enthusiastic
on the subject of st. Jacobs Oil, and we
left him citing instances of the curative
qualities of the Great German Remedy
to party around him. Chicago Inter-

WINDOWS are to be placed in the

hungry orphan children Of the Divine

the $25, 900 window, and buckle up their
