A Great Battle to Fight.

Miss Frances f. Willard, in a note to the
editor Of Our Union, asks When have
the facts been better put than in the follow
ing extract from letter written me by Rev.
DR.. Charles X. Marshall of Vicksburg, one
of the south's leading ministers2 1t is too
good to keep; so | send it along for your
southern department. We have great
battle to fight, and often think that priest
and preacher, elder and bishop had better
abandon the ordinary round of parochial
tolls, and go into regular temperance
crusade until the foe of God and man is
crushed out than to try to conduct the reg
ular duties OF the sanctuary, as they do in
the vain hope Of converting the world with
dram shops at all the street corners, and the
population given TO so much excess. LET
me make the songs, and | care not who
makes the sermons, said one who knew hu
man nature well. Let me sell the liquor tc
the people, unrestrained as is the present
custom, and don't care who breaches. II
is coming rapidly to this, that the church Oh
the saloons dry up. just to think of the
millions of American and Christian mothers
who are raising sweet boys for this Moloct
to devour and ruin. Oh, eternal justice
where sleeps thy thunders2 But as long a,
statesmen guard the saloon, as the essentia
manipulation of the ballot box, and as long
as elections are what the saloons decree
who can hope for better state of things"

/" His Name Is Papa"

A lady in the street met little girl be-
tween two and three years old, evidently
lost and crying bitterly. The lady took the
child's hand, and asked where she was 60
ing. "To find papa was the sobbing re-
ply. "What is your papas name 2" asked
the lady. His name is papa" But
what is his other name2 What does your
mamma call him 2" "She calls him papa,
persisted the little creature. The lady then
tried to lead her along, saying, You had
better come with me, | think you came
this way" ayes; but don't want to go
back want to find my papa" replied the
little girl, crying afresh, as if her heart
would break. "What do you want of your
papa ?" asked the lady. 81 want to kiss him.
Just at this time sister of the child who
had been searching for her came along and
took possession of the little runaway. From
inquiry it appeared that the little ones
papa, whom she was so earnestly seeking,
had recently died. and she, tired of waiting
for him to come home, had gone out to find
him.

Making Drunkards.

Drunken men go on running property and
destroying life, and wise men profess their
helplessness concerning remedies. They
even cultivate a habit of turning away from
the drunken men and seeking for other
causes of their ruin though the drunken
man stands close to the cause of disaster.
No banker would have a bar in his bank,
but most are compliment of bars on every
corner. proposition TO set up a bar in
the parlor of citizen entertaining his
friends would be considered an insult but
the citizen will set up free bar in the din
ing-room. The miserable drunkard is de.
spised when he reels before our eyes but
the business of making drunkards goes on
all about us and provokes small concern OF
pity for the homes it jesolates. Is this
stranger Is it any more strange-is it not
of the same quality OF moral stupor-that
we see men Keeling past us into endless
ruin 2-that we see drunkards made and dc
not cry out, and that we see men going to
hell and do not cry out-both these witness
TO the fallen nature that is in us all. and
that forbids us to sense the moral dangers Of
mankind. We are like them that sleeI
while their houses burn over their heads

but it can hold good deal OF sympathy
Notice the following from an exchange
An eminent clergyman sat in his study
busily engaged in preparing his Sunday ser
mon, when his little boy toddled into his
room, and, holding up his pinched finger,
said, with an expression of suffering, " Look
pa, how hurt it." The father, interrupted
in the middle of sentence, glanced hastily
at him, and with just the slightest tone OF
impotence, said, al can't help it, sonny

He Gets Drunk!

"Oh WELL but he is the smartest young
man in our class" " Yes, but he gets drunk"
"Oh but he is so fine looking so noble and
talented withal. His composition yesterday
was the very best in our division. He writes
splendidly They say he's writing for a
magazine, no older than he is and not out of
school yet went he be great man,
though some day 2" "No, don't think he
will.' "Why not ?" He gets drunk"
"Oh that's nothing; good many smart
men get drunk. Every young man has his
wild oats to SOW, and because fellow gets a
little boozy once in while wouldn't con-
denim him forever. Quite likely he'll out
grow it when he gets older and sees the
folly of it," "More likely that will ouigrow
him, and as to his getting little booty,
I'm afraid he was a good deal so when the
boys found him beside the wall the other
night and had to carry him to his room,
lodging around street corners and skulking
through by-ways, so that none of the profess
sors would see him. | tell you a person
who drinks at all is not to be depended on.
The only young men that have any conf
dence in are those who let intoxicating Ii
quors entirely Alone" swell, don't care,
he's good and smart, anyhow, and like
him." al don't; he gets drunk !" So the
conversation ran on between two school
mates who were walking just ahead of me.
All how those words, He gets drunk"
kept ringing in my ears Possessed Of a
noble manhood and glorious intellect |;
blessed with the best and greatest of Gods
gifts; having the love and appreciation OF
teachers admired and looked up to by as
sociates; the pride and hope of a fond
father, intertwined in the heart and life of a
doting mother, united in close and tender
bonds with brothers and sisters; holding in
his hand the honor and good name of the
institution with which he is connected; of
the society in which he mingles, and yet
gets drunk I" AS a natural consequence,
the young man who drinks will generally
blight the manhood that is within him,
change to curses the blessings that are upon
him bring to the dust whatever high-born
aspirations, whatever longings for greatness,
glory and immortality may be his.

we can begin anew each day to serve him.
No matter how far backward we may have
slipped yesterday let us take heart today

Sad are the words that men have spoken,
But in the speaking they nnd relief.
Dear to the heart that Is rent and broken
Is the passionate tale Of la wasting grief.
But sadder yet ia the silent sorrow
That grows in the stiffness from day TO day.
And waits and yearns for the great Tomorrow,
Yet breads the thought OF the far away.

Your grief like q ship on the outward tide,
Has spread its sails and the winds are blowing
Its canvas on to the ocean wild.

Deep down in the chambers of his breast,
Away from the kingdom Of tears and signing,
Alone and still in its hushed unrest.

Arrestlng the Progress of Consumption.

Arresting the Progress of Consumption.
The action of COMPOUND OXYGEN" in
arTesting the progress of pulmonary
consumption has been so marked and
constant in our administration of this
new Treatment, that we are warranted
in saying that, if taken in the early
stages, eight out of every ten persons
affected with this disease might be
cured. In this disease, as every one Is
aware, the only hope of the patient lies
in the establishment of a higher vital
condition. Now Compound Oxygen is
an agent that gives directly this new
and higher vitality. But we cannot too
earnestly urge the necessity of using
this Treatment in the very commence
ment of pulmonary trouble, and before
the disease has made any serious in
roads upon the system and reduced its
power to contend with so dangerous an
enemy. Too many of the cases which
come to us are of long standing, and the
chances for a radical and permanent
cure Just so far remote. That Compound
Oxygen benefits, or cures, so large a
proportion of these, Is often as much
surprise to ourselves as to our patients.
