Three Great Curses.

The three great curses of the present
age, says a contemporary, are intemper.
ance, id!eness and the carrying of con
cealed weapons.
The first is the orbit of infamy the
others are its satellites.
The first lays out the work, while the
others execute.
The first is protected by the law, and
is caressol by the high aud the low,
while the others are punished by fine
and death.
The first with a bold and defiant
mien enters the temple of God, the halls
of legislation and justice, while the
others are Stunned and despised, their
hands being against every man and
every mans hand against them.
These great evils are building gal
lowses in every section of tho country,
filing our jails and asylums with cri.ni
nails and paupers, forcing the widow and
the orphan to eat the bitter bread of
want, and yet it would seem that both
the law Of God and man are impotont in
banishing them from the land.
These evils, like diseases, can only
be successfully cured by removing the
cause.

Some little time ago Miss Frances Power
Cobbe, who has so identified berself with the
cause OF antivivisection, called on distinguish
ed man Of science in London to endeavor by
persuasive speech and viva voce argument to
gain him over to her cause. Three points were
observable in Miss Cobbe's outward present
n,cnt, namely, she had an ostrich feather in her
bonnet, bird of paradise on or near her muf,
and she carried an ivory handled umbrella.
Consequently the distinguished man of science
replied as follows: MADAM, charity begin at
home when you have given up wearing ostrich
feathers, which are placked from the living bird .
causing the most exquisite pain, aud birds of
paradise, which, in order to enhance their beauty
and lustre,, are skinned alive when you have
abjured the use of ivory, becAhse you know that
the tusks arc cut out Of the dying elephants

me with the cruelty of my operations. The diff
terence between us is, madam, that iuhict pain

benefit Of my fellcw creatures You cause cruel
