Temperance Testimonies.

In late message to the general assem-
bly, of North Carolina the governor referring
TO the liquor traffic used these words, which
ought to be written in words of fire on the
conscience of every man in the state at this
time:
"There is sold in the state another poison
which numbers by the thousands its victims
slain, debauched, degraded, impoverished,
wrecked, or made miserable and heart
broken"
In sentencing a murderer to death, Judge
johnson of California made use of the fol-
lowing language; Nor shall the place be
forgotten in which occurred this shedding
of blood. 1t was in one of the thousand
ante chambers of hell which mar, like plague
spots, the fair face of our st ,te. You need
not be told that mean tippling-shop-
the meeting-place of Satan's minions, and
the foul cesspool which, by spont .neous gen.
Grafton, breeds and natures all that is loath-
some and disgusting in profanity, and bah
bling, and vulgarity, and misunderstanding
| would not be the owner Of GROCERY for
the price of this globe converted into pre-
cious ore. For the pitiful sum of dime he
furnished the poison which made the de-
ceased fool and this trembling culprit a
demon. How paltry sum for two human
lives This traffic is tolerated by law, and,
therefore, the vender has committed an
offense not cognzable by earthly tribunals
but in the sight of him who is unerring wis
dom, he who deliberately furnishes the in
toxicating draught which inhames men into
anger, and violence, and bloodshed, is par
ticeps criminis in the moral turpitude of the
deed"

Danger from IL Irerted Jya
SkuTM Physician.

There are for many reasons few diseases more
to be dreaded than Erysipelas, and it has not in
aptly been termed :" st. Anthony's Fire" There
is no disease which so completely deforms and
disfgures the visage of the patient; and it may
fairly be compared to red mask thrown by a
hooking demon over the human face. 1t is al
most as dangerous as it is repulsive. Arising
from a variety Of causes, running Its course with
paint often ends suddenly in death. The old
treatment consisted in blood-letting and the use
Of strong drastic purgatives The substance Of
the enlightened modern treatment is all contained
in DR.. Kennedy's Favorte Remedy" Use this
and you have taken the essential total OF all the
best physicians in the land could prescribe for
Etyspelas A case in point. Mr. S. b. Carpen-
ter OF Granville. n. Y, writes that he had for
some time been afflicted with this disease in both
legs, and has reg lined his health by the sole use
of " Favorite Remedy" Other cases might be
cited, did space permit. "Favorite Remedy" is
also sure in its action in all other diseases OF the
blood. Ask your druggist for it, or address the

" Apples or P'ars 2"

1t costs something, now and then, to be
courteous. Yet gentleman will not hest
tate to pay the price. His own approval is
sufficient compensation for any loss he may
suffer.
Several years ago. three young men, Just
graduated from college, went on hunting
tour through Western Virginia, seeking both
sport and health. One day, they stopped,
on their way back to camp, at farmer
house, to take dinner.
They were cordially welcomed by the
good man and his wife, whose table, as usual
with West Virginia farmers, was bountifully
spread.
At the close of the meal, basket of APP
Piles and another of pears were placed upon
the table,
"Mr. Ames, will you take apples or
p'ars 2" asked the farmers wife, addressing
one of the young men.
The young man was perplexed. He
wanted pears. "But," he said to himself,
if say pears may mortify my hostess
by seeming to correct her pronunciation.
Should say 'p'ars, the boys would laugh
and that won't do"
am take an apple, if you please" he an.
swered, denying himself, that he might be
courteous.
A similar question was put to MIR. Childs
who reasoning as did his friend, also con.
cluded to deny his appetite for the sake Of
courtesy, and take an apple.
Mr. Smith, the third student, had in the
meanwhile made up his mind that, come
what might, he would take pear. When
the lady asked, " Mr.. Smith, will you take
apples or p'ars 2" he answered, as courte
ously as if addressing duchess
THANK you, madam, I'll take p'ars."
Two beautiful pears were passed TO him
somewhat to the chagrin of his companions
who ate their unrelished apples in silence
As they were leaving the house, the kind
hearted matron gave to Ames aud Child
several apples, but to Smith three or foul
toothsome pears
| The young men hastened to get out Of
sight that they might divide the spoils, and
enjoy laugh over the self,denial their cour
tesy cost them

wouldn't have mortified the old lady for tn,
basketful of pears"
"Nor | have said pears" remarkeC
Smith. A" There's time and place for every
thing but the dinnertable is not the plac

Learn how divine thing iiis
To smile and be content."-THpper.
In little village under the sun, somewhere.
A little old woman lived and grew some way,
In queer little cottage not over bright and fair,
with bent little man not young gay;
But the tiny thing-the woman, Of course. mean
Was one Of the happiest creatures ever seen.
She had been baby. as she supposed, sometime,
And that was a fact that gave her endless Joy;
And baby-giri as perhaps you may have guessed,
And that, of course, was better than being boy.
And aa chance would have IT, fact not always true,
When the old man fell in love- why, she did too.
1t Ia true they, then, were younger Bit somewhat
trne wilder, perhaps, young John had been,
A tribe smarter, some folks said, would not hurt;
But he was the best that she had ever seen,
Though, perhaps, trihe difference In size and kind
Would not have made great difference to her mind.
She was so thankful their goat not COW,
For the shed held II, and a COW would need abarni
Then the tiny house-what comfort II was small
II took 80 little fuel to keep 1t warml
When one pig died. why, there was one less to feed,
And single hog held all the pork they'd need.
The shingles were loose and the rain leaked in Bit
But pe need water much as the fruits and iowersi
The panes were out, but the cool fresh air came I'M
Twas like being out doors with the wind and showers
"'And, a. hev quite a tech OF the rheumatic,
It's Jest kind providence, nothin else.' sez."
As you may Judge. the old lady not shocked
Al any news, however suddenly come,
When II was toldher her brother Zeke was dead,
She sighed, " Well old ftz-Jones II sell less rum"
And when sister Martha suddenly followed his style,
She merely said, " Wen all go after awhile"
Not runle disturbed her wrinkled face when told
That Martha bequeathed her an only cherished son;
"You sec. he II make the kindlns and the fires,
An Of I'd had me pick he'd a ben the One;"
Yet on finding girl instead, she calmly smiled
And ssid "Well, I'd rnther hev female child"
While the old pump went she liked n pump the best
When II was broken she always liked well;
When John sick, "'twas nice to hev him round;"
When better, II gave her chance for breathn' spel
And when one day he suddenly went for good,
"wel she was glad he sawed and piled that wood"
wonder much If she was the wondrous thing
Friend Upper advises us, every one, to be?
Or II nature made her more pliable than poor US,
Or II rose-colored spectacles helped her see
Sure in this trial world " where all is "sen"
She always had a y" smile " and was /" content"

Eight Gallons.

The New York Times, after giving the
statistics of the consumption of spirituous
liquors in Great Britain, adds Astonish-
ing as these figures are, they can be easily
duplicated in this country. In the item OF
spirits, for instance, the consumption is
steadily growing, instead of decreasing as in
England, and has doubled within ten years.
In 1870 the quantity OF fermented liquors
returned for taxation to the commissioner Of
internal revenue was 0,574, 900 barrels, Of 81
gallons each. During the fiscal year ending
June 80, 1850, there were returned 1897
600 barrels. That is to say, 4l4,0O0,0OO
gallons of fermented domestic liquors were
made and drank in that twelvemonth by
something over 5O,0OO,000 people. An an-
nual allowance Of eight gallons of spirits n
each man, woman, and child, is certainly
ample, but to make the estimate complete
there must be added all that was imported
and all that was made on the sly"
