To Think Over.

If asked to subscribe for some re-
ligious paper, would you be likely
to reply, "Fm Christian; | don't
need such a paper as that? Would
a "stalwar." republican or democrat
be likely to refuse to subscribe for a
newspaper purporting to be the ex-
ponent of his own political views
and opinions, because of its specific
character? And yet many a good
temperance man, when asked to
subscribe for paper whose sole aim
is to promote this grand cause, es-
teens it we'll nigh an insult, and
with much self.assertion replies, II
don't need such a paper. Pm tenn
perance man already. y Church and
Home.
No man, woman or child, no mat
ter how humble their circumstan-
ces, can live true, upright and
loving life, without the worlds be-
ing the better for it.

Whisky Drinking in Dry Gil
mate.

The effect of alcohol on the In
dians of the high, dry plains, even
when taken in small quantities, is
to almost instantly drive them
crazy.
The frequent assaults that have
been made by mounted Indians,
armed with bows and arrows, on
western trading posts defended by
American rifemen, sharply indi-
cate the effect of alcohol on men of
highly nervous temperament, ma
tives of a dry country where the
light atmosphere is highly charged
with electricity.
So it is with white men. The
murderous acts of the "cow-boys,"
when under the influence of liquor,
are well known. When sobera more
hospitable and kind-hearted class
does not exist. When drunk they
exhibit all the characteristics Of the
Indians. They are transformed into
bowling, bloodthirsty, fiends. They
shoot and stab each other, as well as
unofending strangers, with the saw
ageness of Cheyennes or Sioux.
Most of these men are residents of
western Texas. Many of them were
born in that State.
Almost all of them have lived on
the plains for number of years.
The country they inhabit is arid
and of an altitude of from 1000 to
5000 feet above the Ncksbury
Herald.

A Few Questions.

We clip the following, under the
above caption, from Bro. Gibbons
Radical:
Delta" will be recognized by our
readers as one of the FREEMAN's
best and most efficient friends and
helpers.
Ed. Radical: As the Commission
ers Of Mason county have granted
permission to certain parties to sell
whisky, | desire by your permission
to ask them the following cues
tions, viz:
LIST. Is the liquor traffic, viewed
in the light of its past history, a
blessing to the people?
End. If SO (and if to engage in it
is legitimate and respectfully why
do you place around it such restric-
tions and require such heavy bonds?
3rd. If the liquor traffic is not a
blessing, but on the other hand a
curse to the people, then can set
of men or a Government, protesting
civilization and christianity, IL
cense it and do right?
4th. Has any government or
class of men the right to license a
man to do wrong?
9TH. Is it consistent to license
one to tempt another to commit
crime?
9Th. Is it not our duty as loyal
citizens of common government to
try to abolish especially those evils
that are most hurtful to our happi-
ness and progress?
9TH. Is it consistent then to per-
petuate the liquor traffic by giving
it legal life and protection?
Sth. Does Gods word authorize
men to commit crime?
9th. If not, then can we do so,
and at the same time be in harmony
with the divine government?
10th. May not every argument
that is used against a proh;bitory
liquor law be used against every
commandment in the decalogue?
18th. As there are certain parties
in the county, who will steal in
spite of law, would it not be policy
to license a few of them to do all
the stealing, provided they viii
hand over to the authorities a GER
tain amount of money. and besides
this, give bond with approved Sc
curity, to steal on certain days and
only SO much at a time? If we have
to license one evil in order to regu-
late and control it why not regulate
all others by the same method?
1t is to be presumed, Mr.. Editor,
that our commissioners have rea-
sons for granting whisky license. If
so the people Of the county ought
to have them. DEETA.

A Heart-BrOken Sinner.


A very sad death occurred in the
Arkansas penitentiary recently.
All deaths are sad, but of all deaths
the death from d broken heart is
the saddest. P. E. Sullivan alias
William Delany, a young man of
twenty-three years, one of the train
robbers recently sentenced to sew
enty years in the Arkansas peniten-
tiary, was the victim of broken
heart. Several days ago he be-
came gloomy, and going to DR.. Lee
now, physician, complained of be-
ing sick. Upon examination the
physician discovered that the man
was not suffering from any precep-
tible disease, but that his pulse was
lao. He was ordered to the hospi
tai, and every possible care given
him.
He revived after a time but every
one could see dispair written on his
countenance. He entered the pris-
on cheerfully, and lightly spoke of
the long term of his sentence; but
after awhile a letter came. When
he read the lines his spirit sank.
Tears told of a misery that ink could
not express. He went again to bed.
THE shadows are gathering fast
and night is expressing me with
its darkness" he said to some one
who was standing near. zone
crime and then death in the peni-
tiary. My old father, who has
preached the gospel for years, who
many and many a time clasped
his hands above my head and pray
ed, has been humbled in his old
age. And my motherl If l could
only hear her voice. But walls and
law are between us. | am as one
who is dead. She can come to me,
out l cannot 60 to her" His
thoughts wandered. At times he
seemed to be at church listening to
his father preach; and then he
seemed to be playing with his sis
tiers. He smiled and laughed soft
ly. "Ahw he would say, "your
brother never forgets you" Sud
denly his face grew dark, and wav.
ing his hands wildly, he began to
mutter broken sentences. "Seiz-
ing the bride rein he sprang upon
his antagonists horse and dashed
away" "He's reading one of those
wild books that we used to steal
away and devour," said one of the
dying mans companions in crime
"'HaltP he exclaimed, drawing "a
revolver, and leveling it at the head
of young Horace" continued the
sufferer. "Slowly and sadly they
left the church and walked along
the well-worn path to the rude
grave of Lawrence. Standing neal
the stone placed there by the In
dian, Casper and his fair compan-
ion" and he muttered incohe-
rently, the sentence dying away
with a deep groan. Suddenly he
raised himself, looked intently to-
ward the door and slowly sank back
dead.-LittLe Rock Gazette.

Plutarch wisely said that at is
not always in famous exploits that
the virtues or vices of men show
themselves most. An ordinary ac-
ton, word, a jest, often makes
known the true character better
than bloody battles, sieges, or mem
orable actions"
