Temperance CertalntIes.

There are so many doubts and discussions
respecting temperance that it has come 10
be labeled in the public mind the temper
ance Question and a great many people,
reacting from the dogmatism of few tenn
perance agitators, have come to think that
it is all question that nothing is settled
There are, however, more temperance GER
tainties than temperance questions more
both in number and importance For ex-
ample, 1t is certain ~ That distilled
liquors are dangerous poison should
never be used as beverage; and as medi-
cine only with the EXTREMIST caution and
under the wisest advice. (2) That wine
and beer If ever useful, except incidentally,
are always more or less dangerous most
dangerous for those who crave them most,
especially dangerous for the young, and for
persons of sanguine and nervous tempera-
ment. Every reader of this paragraph
knows scores who have been injured by ex.
cessive use how many can he mention who
have been injured by abstinence (O That
the liquor traffic, as now conducted, does
more injury to society, produces more crime
and pauperism, breaks up more homes, and
destroys more life than all other dangerous
traffics put together. az That the state
has always right Of self.preservation and
that it has, therefore, right to enact such
laws-prohibitory or regulative-as expert
ence indicates to. be most efficient for the
purposes of self-preservation' If France
has right to prohibit the sale of American
pork because there are trichine in some
pork, America has right to prohibit the
sale of liquor because there is poison in a
great deal of liquor. 10y That it is the
duty of society to pass such laws as are
passed, aud in general to do whatever is
practicable, in the present state of public
opinion, to reduce the evils of drunkenness
and the liquor traffic. The free sale of
liquor, whether with or without the SEEM
ing sanction Of law, is suicide. (G). That,
finally, whatever temporary relief and in
cidental help may be obtained in dealing
with the liquor problem from legislation OF
moral suasion, the real, radical, fundamental
remedy is Christian public sentiment
which will condemn drunkenness as sin, not
condone 1t as weakness the ultimate tenn
perance society is the Christian church I;
and the instruments for reform are the pull
pit, the press, the Sunday-school, aud indi.
vidual example. BY the side of these tenn
perance certainties the temperance questions
are of minor importance and Significance.

A FrIghtfuI Tragedy.

"The Bellevue Hospital Of this city,"
says the New York temperance Advocate,
"was lately the scene of frightful tragedy,
the chief actor in which was an alcoholic
mailman. The hospital has an alcoholic
ward in which were confined several pa
tients suffering more or less from alcohol
ism and alcoholic delirium. One of these
patients, man of peaceful and quiet bear.
ing when sober, suddenly conceived the idea
that he must kill somebody, and Selling a
stool struck another patient frightsul blow
upon the head, crushing his skull and caus-
ing almost instant death. He then assaulted
others most furiously, and was with great
difficulty overpowered at last and confined
in cell He had been in the hospital
three times before for alcoholism, and had
been discharged the last time but two days
before as cured but began drinking again,
and was brought back to the hospital. A
hospital in which such patients are allowed
to 60 about unrestrained among other pa
tients Is a dangerous place, and obviously in
need OF revised code of government. It is
such alcoholic frenzy which is also the orr
gin OF many Of the murders which occur
outside Of the alcoholic ward OF Bellevue.
In vain are such patients treated 10 the
hospital and then sent out into streets lined
with grog-shops continually Turing them
back again into the maddening tolls Of
strong drink"

My Mother.

What spell upon us these words must
ever be the very mention of them calls up
a rush of associations and precious mt mo
ries which we would not willingly let die.
To many young man in whose heart no
pious reverence of God exerts restraining
influence, the thought of mother" and
her prayers and tender counsels is as guard
Of angels around his path. 1t is one Of the
last barriers in the road to ruin, this love
and respect for motherhood, which, when
destroyed, makes total destruction an easy
matter. How needful, then, that a young
man should treasure up the recollection OF
one so dear to him how he should ponder
well those gentle words OF warning and ad.
vice which she spoke in his hearing Better
still that he should allow a mothers hand
to lead him to the outstre,ched hand of a
Saviour and from the knee of his beloved
parent he should rise to glorious conquests
over sin and for God.-Selected.

The Husbands Part,

The home ought TO be harbor of rest
but if the wife ought to make it so for the
husband, none the less ought the husband
TO make it so for the wife. If she should
greet him with restful presence, he should
bring 10 her cheerful one. The man who
holds his umbrella over himself and leaves
his wife to take the drippings is boor
but that Is what not few of us husbands
do in running under shelter from all house.
hold cares and leaving our wives to take the
pitiless rain of pelting perplexities. 1t is
said of Governor Jewell that when he was
carrying on his shoulders the burdens of a
great business, and all the political anxieties
of great presidential campaign, he always
brought to his home bright face, and a
CHEEKY word, and seemingly light heart
so that care flew out of the window when
he entered the door, In this, as in all other
phases of life, unsefshness is the truest
and best service of self. The man who
takes best care of his wife finds in that very
act the best refuge from the singing cares
of his own business. The wife ought
always to feel the load lifted off her shout
ders when her husband crosses the threshold
in the evening. But she does not always,
Sometimes it even settles down upon her
shoulders heavier than before. What say
you, gentlemenP-Laicus, in Christian Union.

DURING brief visit to the ancient town Of War
wick, R.l recently, our agent extended his trip 10
the southeastern extremity of the town. to look
about among the wonderful improvements which
have been made in the appearance of Warwick
Neck during n comparatively brief period. and
while conversing on this subject with Col.
BENJAMIN 5. HAZARD, the popular proprietor
OF the Warwick Neck Hotel, he learned that the
greater part of the handsome summer residences
had been erected inside Of a dozen years andhe
also learned that Col Hazard had been great
sufferer from chronic disease of the kidneys
and Bladder over fifteen years, the most painful
form Of it being a stoppage or retention of the
urine, which was very severe at times as to dis.
able him for his accustomed work. and even con
fine him to the bed, when a surgeons assistance
would be required to relieve him. He was being
doctored large part of the time, but could get
no permanent relief. At times his suiferngs were
terrible from sharp, cutting pains through the
Kidneys and Bladder and he had suffered
long and SO severely that he had become dis
couraged of getting well again, especially az
the doctor stated that it was doubtful if man OF
his age, with such complicated disease of long
standing, could be cured. But last summer, when
he was suffering intensely from one of these at
tacks, gentleman who was boarding at his hotel
urged and persuaded him to try a bottle of Hunts
Remedy, he had known of some wonderful
cures effected by 1t.
Mr. Hazard says he had no faith in II, but con-
sented reluctantly to try it and after taking it
only two days, the intense pains and aches had
disappeared, and he commenced to gain strength
rapidly, and in less than week was attending to
his accustomed work, and has never had "a return
of the pains. Mr.. Hazard is over seventy years
of age, and on the 25th of Nov, 1889, when our

HUNTS REMEDY had given him health and
strength again. and he recommends 1t to his rela-
tiyes and friends, several Of whom are now TAX

for all diseases of Kidneys or Bladder.

UniOntOWn IteWS.

The Sunday School of the NJ. p. Church,
of this place, gave us quite treat dur
ing the holidays by the celebration of then
usual Christmas services.
The church was beautifully decorated, and
in front of the pull pit stood three arches, COW
cred with evergreen. The centre one con-
tanned a large evergreen bell, and the word
'.Welcome," while ''Glory to God in the
Highest was equally divided on the side
arches.
The music by the school, under the direc-
ton of Mr.. d. A. c. Webster, could not have
been better, and Mr.. Willie Zollickoffer at
the organ performed his part admirably.
A brief address was delivered by the pastor,
Rev. C. T. Cochel, which was in keeping with
his usual happy style.
The superintendent, Mr.. Alfred Zollckof-
fer, made statement of the condition of the
school, which numbers 100 scholars, and to
which his whole life is devoted. May the
shadows fall gently over the evening of his
well-spent life.
Then the happiest part Of all came to the
little ones, particularly The bestowing of
the good things of this life. They well de-
served them, for their patient and lovely
department. Misses Sallie Weaver, Eva
Devilbiss, and Mr. Zollickoffer, were present
ed with tasty gifts by their classes.
Thus we'll spent evening closed pleasant
ly, and all present decided that it was the
most enjoyable affair ever held in the church,
and the committee of arrangements cannot be
complimented too highly for the taste dis
played.
Another letter from Uniontown was re-
ceived this week, but was, unfortunately, mis-,
laid or lost-Eds.
