Two Victories,

William was the eldest child Of faith
full minister Of the gospel, who lived on
small salary in quiet country town.
Through the kindness of a bachelor uncle,
he was allowed to supplement his medical
education by studies abroad. Wine was
commonly used at dinners by other students,
and he was accustomed to drink with the
rest. A pressure of duties in his ward at
the hospital induced him to take an occa-
sional glass of brandy, when f,tigued. At
one time he was appointed TO read a paper
before medical society on a coming Satur-
day. 1t was an honor, and he was ambi
tious TO acquit himself with credit But
duties in the hospital hindered him about
making the necessary preparation until Fri
day night. lie was tired when he sat down
to write, and he took from closet bottle
of Scotch whiskey, which had been left there
for his use. He drank little, and placed
the bottle upon the table. From time TO
time, as he was writing, he drank little
| more. An hour or two after midnight he
took up the bottle, to help himself to another
drink, and was surprised TO find IL empty.
No one had been in the room but himself
so he must have drank the whole bottle of
whiskey. The thought appalled, him. For
| the first time he realized the habit that was
upon him. lie saw how far he had drifted
unoonsciously. lie paced the floor. God
spoke TO him-that covenant-keeping God
in whose fear his faithful parents had trained
him, and to whom they daily committed
their absent son. In that hour God was
near, TO help him, and to give him the vic
tory. The habit OF drinking was broken of
that night. In early scbool-days he had
learr cd TO smoke, as other boys did. Tn,
habit Increased with years, ana had become

The foreman of Montreal paper is in
trouble. In making up his forms, he mixed
an article on Catholic advances in Africa
with receipt for making tomato catsup,
and the following is the combination "The
Roman Catholics claim to be making ma.
terial advances in Africa, particularly in
Algeria, where they have one hundred and
eighty-fve thousand adherents and mis-,
sionary society for Central Africa. During
the past three years, they have obtained a
firm footing in the interior of the continent
and have sent forth several missionaries
into the equatorial regions. They are &C
customed to begin their work by buying
heather children and educating them. The
easiest and best way to prepare them is first
to wipe them with clean towel, then place
them in drippingpans and bake them til
they are tender. Then you will have nj
difficulty in rubbing them through sieve
and will save them by not being obliged Il
TO cut them in slices and cook for severa
hours"

excessive. Grateful patients made him
presents Of the finest cigars, which he freely
used after he had ceased TO drink. But the
same prsyer.answerin God had still another
message for him. A sermon TO which he
listened impressed his mind with the truth
contained in l. Corinthians iii 10, II. He
felt that his body was temple of the Holy
Ghost, and as he expressed it, III was not
keeping IL very clean" One evening he sat
down with box of cigars on the table be-
fore him. He looked at them and reasoned
with himself. After hard struggle, the
habit of using tobacco was also given up,
and though he was afterwards besieged on
all sides by physicians and patients, to &C.
cept cigars and to join in social smoke, he
was firm in his refusal. Although still
young, he has valuable practice and ma
tional reputation. He is able to perform
delicate surgical operations with success,
which would be impossible with the I'M.
steady hand of one who used strong drink
or tobacco.-Netc York Observer.

We are inclined, on the whole,
and with a full recognition Of the flu
tilty of predictions about Ireland, to
expect a short term of comparative
tranquility there. The signs are all
one way. The farmers, who make up
the solid bulk of the population,
though probably not contented-for
they are not yet simple copyholders'
and hat is their W theory OF their
W right-are obviously far less
disconnected than they were, and
disposed to pause in their secular
agitation. They have not got all
they wish for, but they have got a
long respite from eviction, nearly
complete freedom from the thraldom
of agents. and a large and perma-
nent reduction in their excessive
