A WOssl am Speaks,

The love of money is the root of evil Ii men wish to effectually suppress the sale of intoxicating and besotting drinks, they must commence with the distilers of the cursed and poisonous liquors that are made use of at the present day They, snd the dealers in them, can cover themselves to a great ex- tent with money that may be used in putting them or thelT constituents into office, while the poor victims of iniquitous birth and hereditary appetites spend their hard earned dollars tor the vile stuff that crazes their brains, are the suffering victims with their antagonists, of the fearful effects of it. May write it with reverence, at the bar of God will beiustice and mercy, Christ the inter- cessor ''the tr,end at court" It will avail us nothing that those with whom we have been associated iu this world ''are weighed in tho balances aud found wanting"

Among the wonderful and useful inven. tons Of the times is the common sand blast Suppose you desire piece of marble for a Sravestone, you cover the stane with a sheet Of wax no bigger than wafer; then yos GU, n the wax the name date, etc, leaving the marble exposed. Now pass it under the blast, and the sand shall cut it away. Re. move the wax and you have the cut letters Take piece of French plate glass; say two by six feet, cover it with fine face. and pass it under the blast, and not thread of lace will be injured, but the sand will cut deep in. 10 the glass wherever it is not covered bv the lace Now remove the lace and you will nave delicate and beautiful figure raised on the glass. In this way beautiful figures of all Kinds are cut in glass and at a small ex. pense. The workmen can held their hands under the blast without harm, even when i, IS rapidly cutting away the hardest. cutting giass' lron or stone, but they must look out tor their finger nails, for they will be whit. tied of right hastily.
