4 Hard Way.

No one has ever ''croSsed the Rubi-
con- from integrity and virtue to II
life of vice without finding it a path of
rcmorsc and tears. Mr.. Moody said
truthfully in one of his plain speeches:
There is not day passes but you
can read in the pages of the daily pa
pers, "Thc way of the transgressOr is
hard" You 90 to the Tombs in New
York city, and YOU will find Il little
iron bridge running from the police
court, where the men are tried, right
into the cell. | think the New York
officials have not been noted for their
piety in your time and mine, but they
had put mp there in iron letters on that
bridge, "The way of the transgressor
is hard.n They know that is true.
Blot it out if You can. God has said it.
1t is true. "Thc way of the transgres-
sor is hard" On the other side of the
bridge they put these words, "A
Bridge of Signs" | said to one of the
officers, "What did they put that up
there for?' He replied that most of
the young men for most of the Grim
lnals are young mcn-aS they passed
over that iron bridge went over it
weeping. SO they called it the Bridge

Liquors and Licenses.

\. b. Richmond, Esq, member of
the Pennsylvania county bar, has
written an interesting book on the
temperance question. From il chapter
devoted to the subject, GLOW Liquors
are Made which classes nearly all
kinds as ''vile compounds, composed of
nauseous aud poison ingredients, nasty
and injurious tn health we quote the
following:
at will he seen that these vile and
poisonous compounds are recognized
by the laws of the United States as
understandable products. The manu-
facturer. dignitied with the name OF
''rectitier," is allowed to make them
and put them on the market. That is,
the rectitier ~ may pay a Christian
government two hundred dollars per
annum, and receive therefor IA license

lated to deceive the public; sell it to

plea of necessity To the travelling pub

given to the mpOunds-license places
where the poison may be sold to the
ignorant and unsuspecting. We read
with horror that negro kings of Africa

that duty demands it, and that the
God of their people delights in the
sight of human blood. But we tOler-
ate production and tariff in a poison
that, in the startling language of the
Rev. Charles II. Fowler, ID. D., muir
ders sixty thousand men annually !;
dooms to an inheritance of rags and
shame two millions of children, hangs
a milestone around the necks of three
millions of women, and casts them in
to the social sea sends two hundred
thousand orphans to public charity ;
horrifies the year with four hundred
and fifty suicides, seven hundred muir
ders, and commits to the demon of lu
macy twelve thousand human beings
All this multitude of horrors is due to
those compounds, and caused, either
directly or indirectly, by their demon
aical influence. And to this may be
added the startling fact that they take
from the public comfort the enormous
sum of - ,607 ,49l 500 annually, and
eXpend it in crime. Remember that
we do not live in Africa, nor on the
Cannibal islands of the sea, but in a
Christian land. When century or
two have passed, and the future read
ers shall learn from the pages of his
tory that such a code of laws once eX-
istedi among our enlightened people, it
will create feelings of surprise and as
constituent akin to those with which
we now read of the temple i'll ancient
Babylon dedicated to lust and de-
bauchery, or view these portions of
the ruins of Pompeii, once the open,
! law established shrines of sin and
shame. That the license law cannot
long survive an awakened public sen
| timent is certain. 1t must i'll mans
onward progress be Obliterated from
our statute book. The time is not dis
tant when people will wonder that it
was ever thus; that it was also tOler-
ated. even as we wonder that human
slavery could once have existed i'll Il
| land that, above all others, boosted OF
the liberty of its people and the free
dom of its institutions"

Enforcing the Liquor Law.

The chief reason why the law is viO-
lated, in pOpulOus places, Is because
the inhabitants do not feel strOngl v
enough about the matter to prosecute
the offenders. The liquor interests i'll
those places is powerful, and dies hard,
and only vigorous and persistent eff
forts on the part of temperance peO-
pie can subdue it. But the law is eff
fectual in a great proportion of the
smaller towns, and can be rendered so
in the larger ones, if the citizens are
equally bent upon 1t.
| have in mind town in the neal
vicinity of large city, where rum-sell-
ing formerly had full sway, but for
some years past has been eilcctually
broken up, solely by the watchfulness
and resolution of the citizens. Every
man who has attempted to open Il
drinking saloon there has been prose
cuted and has had to Succumb to the
law. But the people know that if they
were to relax their vigilance and res
olution. the town would he again over
run with dram shops in Il month. This
case proves that the law can he enforc-
ed, even i'll the most unprOmlslng To-
calitics, if the people ''mean business
Many persons seem to think that
the Prohibitory Law will somehow en-
force itself, without any trouble on
their part. 1t is time that this mis-
take should he corrected. The law
excuses no man from responsibility
| Those who want the Illegal traffic il
strong drink to cease, must themselves
point out to the proper authorities the
transgressOrs, and the witness to prove
| the offence. Then, and not till then
can they be sure that the machinery OF
the law will he set i'll motion.
Instead of blaming the law, or the
public officials, because prohibition
does not everywhere prevail, each cit
| izrn should first ask himself the ques-
ton :-"HaVc | done my part towards
enforcing the law ?" And if not the
sooner he sets about doing his duty
the sooner we shall he freed from the
| liquor traffic, with its train of pauper-
ism, misery and crime.
What is most wanted, in my opinion
is to rouse the community to IL senst
of their responsibility. The people ol
our larger places should he made tC
realize that rum-selling exists among
them merely by reason of their supine-
ness and cowardice. 1t depends upon
| themselves whether the law is to be :
dead letter or living reality. A
soon as they are prepared to say zen
force the law and are half as much
in earnest as the lawbreakers are

Was Bunyan a Gypsyl

Did Bunyan come of gypsy race?
This is the question which MIR. James
Simson discusses in the pamphlet which
he has just published, and which he
answers in the affirmative. The starting
point of the controversy is in a passage
in Bunyan's autobiography wherein he
says: "FOr my descent it was, as is well
known by many, of a low and inconsid-
cradle generation, my fathers house be-
ing of that rank which is meanest and
the most despised of all the families in
the land" Those who refuse to believe
that the illustrsous author of the "Pil-
grims Progress" was of a gypsy race
contend that this means simply that his
family were thinkers. On the other side,
it is urged that the reference here is
rather to blood than to any occupation.
If Bunyan did not intend to do more
than allude to the fact that his family
were thinkers, his language was in this in
stance wanting in the simplicity which
is characteristic of his immortal allegoTy.
Those who deny that Bunyan came of
gypsy race lay great stress upon the
fact that they haEe evidence of there
being Bunyans in the country long be-
fore the gypsies arrived III England.
They point out, too, that Bunyan was
not of swarthy complexion, but was a
man of ''fairish appearance" Mr.. Sim
son does not trouble himself much
about all this. He says that the whole
mystery is solved by "the simple idea of
a gypsy family settling in the neighbor
hood of native families of influence,
whose surnames they assumed, and making
Elstow their headquarters or residence,
as was the uniform custom of the tribe
all over Great Britain" This is really
all the evidence forthcomingon the sub
ject. We do not suppose that the great
est admirers of Bunyan would object to
his being proved to have beena gypsy if
proof could be produced, but it is hardly
likely that they Will be prepared to in
dorse Mr. Simson's view.-LO71dO9s

The Mouse and the Lion.

A lion who had lived for several years
in a certain neighborhood and gained
general respect for the manner in which
he had conducted himself, was suddenly
made the object of ISLANDERS and abuse.
When he came to trace these stories back
he found that they had been started by a
mouse.
"Why have you slandered me?" de-
manded the lion.
because the people will only accept
me as a mousse" was the reply.
'EBut am I to blame for that?'
perhaps not, but why should you be
lion, able to strike down the OK, while
am but puny mouse, able only to
brighten women and children? What
grieves me is the fact that nature made
a mistake"
every well, said the king of beasts +;
"you go forth and roar and kill, and
will become a mouse"
The mouse stalked into the forest and
began to growl and roar, but his efforts
were received with laughter. After he
had tried it again and again the owl
dropped down beside him and observed
'FInstead of making me afraid, you
only disturb my slumbers and annoy my
friends. Come inside, out of the ma
laria."

Justly claims for it superiority over all rem
edies ever offered to the public for the SAFE,
CERTAIN, SPEEDY aud PERMANENT cure
ofAgue and Fever, or Chills and Fever, wheth.
er Of short or long standing. He refers to the
entire Western and Southern country to bear
him testimony to the truth Of the assertion
that in no case whatever will it fail to cure If
the directions are strictly followed and carried
out. In great many cases single dose has
been sufficient for o cure, and whole families
have been cured by single bottle, with per-
feet restoration Of the general health. It Is,
however, prudent, and in every case more GER
tain TO cure, if its use is continued In smaller
doses for week or two after the disease has
been checked, more especially In difficult and
long-standing cases. Usually this medicine
will not require any aid TO keep the bowels in
good order. Should the patient, however, re-
quirs acathartic medicine after having taken
three or four doses Of the Tonic, a single dose
of BULLS VEGETABLE FAMILY PILLS
will be sufficient.
