! don't want to make any trouble. but
there is one man 10 this city who ought to be
gibbeted e began blunt-spoken woman OF
forty-nve, as she stood before tho officials Of
the Twentieth Street Station a day or two
ago. s
When they inquired for particulars she
handed out letter.
"Observe the envelope. That letter is adj
dressed to me. You will see that the writer
calls me his jessamine, aud he wants me to
set an early day for the wedding"
When the Captain had finished the letter
she was ready with another, adding:
"And this is addressed to my daughter Luz
cretis. You will see that he calls her his rosy
angel, and he says he can't live If she doesn't
marry him. IL is the same man.''
So 1t was, and his letter was as tender as
spring chicken. That finished, she handed
ont third, with the remark:
This is directed to my daughter Helen
1t is the very same man, and in it he calls her
his pansy, and he says he dreams of her"
"Why, he seemed to love the whole fami-
ly," remarked the Captain.
"That's just it. I'm widow with two
daughters, and he was counting us all at once
and engaged to the three of us at the same
time. OIL what wretches there are in this
world ~ 8 sa

married the whole caboodle of as. II Lucre-
tia hadn't opened one of my letters, and if
hadn't searched the girls pockets while they
were asleep, we'd have thought him an inno-
cent lamb
And do you want him arrestedsn
No. guess not; but want this matter
to go into the papers as warning TO other
women. just think of his sitting up with me
Sunday night, Lucretia on Wednesday night,
and Helen on Saturday night, and calling
each one Of us his climbing rose Oh sir,
the women ought to know what deceiving

"Yes, be's pretty Tough

she was ready to go. "The next man that

ATHLETES AND ALCOHOL AND ToBAcco.-
A Birmingham gentleman has been at consid-
cradle trouble in eliciting information as to
the opinion of athletes regarding the use OF
alcohol and tobacco. The results of his in
quires show that the majority of Queens
prize winners at Wimbledon, most of the
leading oarsmen, including Hanlan and Trick
EFT, and those crack American shots Mr.. Par
tello and DR.. Carver, consider the less stimu-
lants and narcotics human being INDUCES
in the better for his physical health. Private
Rae, Queens prize winner 1878, confesses
that he INDUCES to the extent of two ounces
of tobacco per week and glass sometimes
He maintains that forms of indulgence are
reprehensible, and that be would be much
better If he gave up entirely. OF Mr.. Partel-
10, the wonderful American marksman, who
lately made 224 out Of possible 225 at long
ranges, 1t is related that he has always been
total abstainer, and that he has now given
up tobacco as well. Sergeant Okey, the
champion shot Of New Zealand. lately attri-
buted his success to his having been a teeto-
taller all his life, being non-smoker. Trickett
and Hanlan are quito of one mind about the
injury inflicted on the physical powers by the
use of narcotics and stimulants.

SOLOMON AND THE BLAcKsMITH.-The
story goes that, during the building of Solo
mons Temple, that wise ruler decided to
treat the artisans employed on his famous
edifce to banquet. While the men were
enjoying the good things his bounty had pro-
vided, King Solomon moved about from
table to table, eudeavoring to become better
acquainted with his workmen. To one be
said:
"My friend, what is your trader"
"a carpenter
9" And who makes your tools?"
" The blacksmith, replied the carpenter
To another Solomon said -
"What is your trade " and the reply was:
A mason"
"And who makes your tools 2"
" The blacksmith" replied the mason.
A third stated that he was a stone cutter,
and that the blacksmith also made his tools
The fourth man that King Solomon addressed
was the blacksmith himself. He was pow
erful man with barred arms, on which the
muscles stood out in bold relief, seemingly
almost as hard as the metal he worked.
"And what is your trade, my good man ? =
said the king.
Blacksmith laconically replied the man
of the anvil and sledge.
"Apd who makes your tools?"
"Make 'em myself" said the blacksmith
Whereupon King Solomon Immediately
proclaimed him the king Of mechanics, be-
cause he could not only make his own tooIs
but all other artisans were forced to go to him
to have their tools made.-BsacksmiM and

THE Y0UNG CORPORAL.

A lad, corporal in the French army, when
drunk, struck his superior officer He was
tried by court-martial and sentenced to be
shot. The unhappy youth was cast into
prison to await the execution of his sentence.
There was an effort made to secure a par
don, but without success. The Colonel, how.
ever was much attached to him. and was un-
remitting in his efforts to secure pardon,
which he at length succeeded in doing, on
condition that if ever known to be drunk
again be should be shot dead.
The Colonel went to the prison to inform
the condemned young corporal of his pardon.
" All Colonel, said the unhappy young
man, as the officer entered, "you see what
my folly has brought me to-"
Suppose" said the Colonel, that /
should tell you that, on condition that you
never in your life drink again, pardon is ex-
tended to youp /"
A CLEAN of hope frightened the young
mans face.
I" Your life being the forfeit if you ever
taste liquor again." added the Colonel.
(" Imnossible ] = said tho. ranr lad z I
cannot live and not drink. Must never
drink ? -
Never"
The poor young fellow relapsed into hope
lessness.
Nothing could keep me from it. 1t
would be impossible TO keep the condition. -
Il want but your word and pledge of honor
as a soldier said the Colonel, appealing to
the military spirit and high sense of honor be
so wcll knew the youth to possess.
The lads soul kindled within him. The
appeal wrought the effect intended. 1t was
not IN vain.
See, Colonel " cried the young soldier (;
"see here and now," and he lifted his arm
toward heaven, " that never to my dying day
will put liquor to my lips again +"
The lad became commander of the Imperial
Guard, whose very name became such power,
and he kept the pledge in the same spirit that
characterized his memorable utterance, " The
Old Guard dies, but never surrendersl "
Now you see, boys and girls, how much
that sting of the liquor serpent costs. 1t
came very near costing that brave young cor
poral his life.
1t is very costly sting to this country in
dollars and CENTS 1t costs us three hundred
and sixty times as much as it does to pay the
salaries of all the ministers of the gospel.
The salaries of our ministers amount to sixty
millions of dollars, and it costs US twenty. two
hundred millions of dollars to keep up the
liquor traffic and keep this sting of the liquor
serpent doing its work. Richard Newt0n.
