HABIT.

Man is said, by some wise observer, to DO
nothing but a bundle of habits, and we
doubt not but such is the experience of
every one who has watched his daily life
with ordinary carefulness. All indulgen-
cies are brought about by dcgrees-very
often impercepti bly,. No man can be too
wu,chiul over himself; too cautious in the
adoption of any habits which may enslave
him. He may not realize the danger, or be
able to see that it can harm him at the time,
but time will comc when he will find rea-
son for humiliation in the discovery that he
is not master of himself
Very few men become druukards inten-
tionally. Very few naturally love. s,imu-
lauts, but it is very easy to acquire the
taste and become cuslgved by it. We begin
to taste and soon acquire fondpess for
it; the stimulating Influence gets possession
OF us by degrees, and before we are aware of
it we are in tho tolls of the destr yer.
We have rarely met Il man who did not
scout the idea that he could ever become a
drunkard. He had too much respect for
himsclf- too much family pride-to allow
himself to be over crcome by indulgence, and
get SO low as to lose his self control and self
respect. Yet We have seen many proud
! gifted man, who WAS the IDOL of his family
and the pride of lis country go down 10
the gutter by degrees, so slowly yet so sure.
ly, that he was hardly conscious of it.
Let us not rail at or abuse poor fellow
who has lost the power of self control. BE
charitable towards him and remember how
many good aud true men of our acquaint-
ance have gone the same way by yielding to
temptation. Let US take him by the hand
and comfort him with the assurance that he
may be able to overcome the temptation and
again proclaim himself man.
The object of the W. G. L. U. is to puri-
:y public opinion. They do not approach
you to rail at abuses, but to convince you,
by precept and example, that the only safe
ty is to avoid temptation, and that there
is no indulgence so dangerous, SO frau.ht
with evil to the peace of home, 50 costly to
the government, so dcmoraiizing, So scduc-
tive and sure to lead into other temptations,
as the drinking of intoxicating beverages.

How a WOman'S Life Was saved.

After she had tested the skill of all
the best doctors in Western Pennsyl-
vania and New York, and had paid
over 81 900 without receiving any
permanent good. the limbs became
affected with even tenfold greater
virulence, not only eating away the
flesh, but attacking the bones be-
meath. 1t also affected her head and
face, making her almost blind and
deaf, reduced to mere skeleton,
weighing but 80 pounds. the doctors
pronounced her at deaths door. Pc
runa was then given her, as stated,
and with the result given on page "a
in DIR. Hartman's ellis of Life" She
took no other medicine and is per-

Evangelist Barnes wants to Convert
Maryland Politicians.

There was stir among politicians
of high degree during the latter part
of the week, when it was annOuced
that one of the prominent managers
who is also devout churchman, had
received a letter from Barnes, the
evangelist. inquiring as to the advls-
ability of spending a few weeks in
this city before going to New York |
and Pennsylvania, and intimating |
that he had received reliable inform
alton that there were many polltl-
clans in Maryland who needed to be
"born again." and who, under the
eloquence of an earnest evangelist,
might be made to forsake their wick
ed ways and become members of
the church. Barnes it will be re-
membered, has been at work in Ken
lucky with unprecedented success
among the politicians and sporting
men, and his latest acquisitions
among a large number of eminent
converts were Governor Blackburn
and other members of the Kentucky
state government. When this letter
was shown to the politicians about
town there was alarm and conSidera-
bic excitement among the leaders,
who feared that some of the weak
kneed brethren in politics might, un-
der the influence of religious excite :
ment. diyulge secrets which it was
desirable to keep from the public ear.
The discussion on the canal presiden-
cy, the next gubernatOrial and mayor
, atty contest were discarded when il
, became apparent that this new dam
ger stared the leaders in the face.
Every man to whom the letter was
I shown, and who was admitted into
4 the deliberations on this alarming
= subject, was pledged to secrecy. and
D the necessity to keep the matter pri.
vate was fully explained. The prom
inent politicians have been changing
leaders and friends so often within
s the last four years that they may
v well tremble at the prospects of an
exposure by some of their cOnfnder'
ates. The senatorial election of two
: years ago. the agreement with Gov

Tt..: MURDERER SHAW.
lie HAS Taken Refuge In Virgini

He mas Taken Refuge In virginia.
When James Shaw, the wife murderer Ct
Colerain, fled red handed from the scene of
his Z, imc there were some persons at Quar-
ryville who concluded that he had gone to
Virginia. because he was we'll acquainted
with Mr. Harlan Hess, who had re-
Gently removed from Qua:ryville to
section OF Virginia in which Shaw had
formerly kept tavern. When it was as
ccrtaincd also that in the evening of the
murder Shaw stopped at the mill of E. NJ
Stauiter, near Chestnut Level, the conjec =
ture that he was making tracks toward S
Virginia was strengthened.
Tie other day a resident OF Quarryvillo
received q letter from Harlan Hess, who
lives near Gloucester, Va, in which he
incidentally stated that though he seldom
saw any of his old neighbors, he bad
lately mad 4 visit from James Shaw, who
spent SunGa, with him. This was the Sun.
day after the murder which was committed
Oh Tuesday and of course al that time Mr..
Hess had no information OF the tragedy.
From Gloucester Shaw likely pushed on
TO the place OF his former residence, some
fifty miles beyond. His bOldness in ex-
posing himself shows that had the county
authorities moved in the matter OF his ap-
prehension with due dispatch, he might
easily nave been captured and brought to
judgment.
