Alcohol as a Remedy.

] do not intend to deny that the use of
mild alcoholic tonics, as substitute for
the frIghtful remedies of the medieval
Sangrados, is a decided improvement, but,
STILL 1t is only a lesser evil, first step of
progressive reform. Alcohol fingers in
orr hospitals as slavery fingers in the
West Indies, as the witchcrsft delusion
fingers in southern Europe. Has alcohol
any remedial value whatever Let us
consider the matter from purely empiri-
cal standpoint. Does alcohol protect
from malarial fevers 7 1t is a well-known
fact that the human organism can not sup
port two diseases at the same time. Rheu-
matism can be temporarily relieved by
producing an artificial inflammation a
headache yields to a severe toothache.
For the same reason the alcoholfever
affords temporary protection from other
febrile symptoms-i. e., man may fortify
his system against chills and ague by
keeping himself constantly under the
stimulating influence of alcohol. But
sooner or later stimulation is followed by
depression, and during that reaction the
other fever gets chance, and rarely
misses it. The history of epidemcs
proves that pyretic diseases are from eight
to twelve times more destructive among
dram drinkers than among the temperate
classes rich or poor, Young or old, alb
stainers are only centeSimdted by diseases
that decimate drunkards. On no other
point is the testimony of physicians of
all schools all times, and all countries,
more consistent and unanimous. Is alco-
hol peptic stimulant ? No more than
1orrh 70
hastens to rid itself of the noxious sub
stance, the bowels are thrown into state
of morbid activity only to relapse into a
morbid inactivity. The effect of every
laxative is followed by a stringent reac-
ton, and the habitual use of peptic slim
ulsnts leads to a chronic constipation
which yields only to purgatives of the
most virulent kind. Does alcohol impsrt
strength Does it benefit the exhausted
system =? If worn-out horse drops on
the highway, we can rouse it by sticking
knife into its ribs, but, after staggering
ahead for couple of minutes, it will
drop again, and the second deliguium will
be worse than the first by just IS much as
the brutal stimulus has still further ex-
hausted the little remaining strength. In
the same way precisely alcohol rallies the
exhausted energies of the human body.
The PROSTATE vitality rises against the
foe, and labors with restless energy till
the poison is expelled. Then comes the
reaction, and before the patient can re-
cover, his organism has to do double
work. Nature has to overcome both the
original cause of the disease and the effect
of the stimulant.-Dr. Felr L. Os,cald, in
| Popular Science Monthly.

TOWARD the end of the past winter, in
New York, the last hours on earth of two
eminent followers of Christ were marked
by beatific visions, which awakened uni
versal interest and much inquiry. In
that of President Paul A. Chadbourne
Christ was revealed as Redeemer, leading
to Acknowledgements of his infinite love
and the blessedness of his forgiveness,
the face of the disciple being reported as
transfgured with reflected glory" to
which it was added "the glory filled the
ROOM" In that of DR.. William G.. Schauf-
fer, however, the person of Christ was re.
vealed. Shortly after, he aroused himself
again and said, 81 see myself as I am"
and closing his eyes, I" / see Jesus" 1t
is no more than natural for every one to
ask, "Did he actually behold our Lord p
4" How could he see the r?"-.Selected

A MISSIONARY of the American Mara
thi mission was stopping at a hill station
during the hot season, and was accustomed
to hold services in English on the Sab.
bath. 1t was announced that the Bishop
of Bombay would be at the station on a
certain Sunday to hold services and ad-
minister the communion. As the church
people had no suitable place for meeting,
the American missionary volunteered to
give up his own services for the day and
invite the bishop to occupy the mission
chapel. The bishop sent written reply
to this offer, accepting it with thanks, but
expressing his regret that he could not
invite the American missionary to come
with them to the Lords table. So great
lack of courtesy, not to say decency,
would have justified the withdrawal of
the invitation.

am still, convinced that neither the uni
verse Is competent to regulate its own
movements nor man to govern his own
destlny by means only of the permanent
laws by which they are ordered. It is
my profound conviction that God, who
created this universe and man, governs,
preserves, and modifies them either by the
action OF general laws, which we call
natural, or by special acts, which we call
supernatural, and which, as we'll as the
general laws, are the emancipations If his

nave therefore returned to the faith of
my childhood. am still firmly attached
10 the use OF my reason, and to the free
Will which are my gifts from God, and
my birthright and my title of honor upon
earth, yet have learned to feel myself a
child in the hands of God, and sincerely
resigned to my large share of ignorance
and weakness. believe in God and wor-

stand him. see his presence and his
action not only in the Interchangeable law
OF the universe and in the secret life of
the soul, but in the history of human go

the salvation of the human race. 1 bow

A FAMILY BLESSING.

Under date of May 10 1883, we have received
the following information from Mr. LORENZO
LOMBARD. ~ 18 Charles street, Portland, Me

HOW SHALL PRAY.

Father how can thus be bold to pray
That thou shalt grant me that, or spare me this7
How should my ignorance not go astray,
How should my foolish lips not speak amiss
And ask for woe when fain they would ask bliss?
How shall dare To prompt thee, the sll-wise,
To show me kindness9 Thou art ever kind,
What IA my feeble craving in thine eyes
Which view the centuries vast before, behind.
And sweep unnumbered worlds like viewless wind
Thy goodness ordereth what thing shall be.
Thy wisdom knoweth even my Utmost want;
why should raise needless prayer to thee,
Or mportune omuipotence to grant
My wishes dim short-sighted gnorantP
And come for thou hast hidden and said,
But not 10 weary thee, or specify
A wish. but rather with this prayer nsteadi
20 Lord thou knowest give It or deny.
Fill up the cup of Joy, or pass me by"
Just as thou wilt ia just what would will;
Give me but this, the heart to he content,
And II my wish ls thwarted, to lie still,
Waiting till puzzle and till pain are spent
And the sweet thing made plain which the Lord meant

The Democracy and Liquor.

The first outcry of the democratic
liquor interests against the Scott law in
Ohio was that it taxed the liquor bust
ness without restricting it at all and that,
therefore, it would not suit the prohibit
DRY element in the state. 1t now turns
out that this outcry was premature, since
from returns from lightweight counties,
it is shown that l,019 saloons in the state
have ceased to sell and in the city of
Cincinnati alone twelve per cent of the
saloons have been closed. Driven from
this point, the democratic rum element
now declares that the Scott law favors Sc
cret drinking in low groggeries and that
there is more drinking than ever under
it, If that is the case they ought to be
satisfied surely, for there is nothing that
they so much desire as free rum. But
singularly all their arguments against
the law are made in the interests of the
prohibitionists, class whom they feel
very anxious about, evidently, and whom
they are extremely DESTROYS to please.
Unfortunately for their last theory of in
creased drinking, the charge refutes itself
The dealers who pay the tax are rot 60
ing to allow those who do not pay to sell
in secret and it is not reasonable to sup
pose that any considerable amount of Sc
cret selling in violation of law takes
place. No more excellent evidence of the
efficiency of the law and the value of it
to the state need to be cited than the po-
sition taken against it by branch of the
liquor dealers association, which is also,
of course, branch of the democratic
party in the state. That fraction of
democracy did not mince matters at all,
but pronounced the law openly as an out
rage, because they were taxed under it |
We are pleased to see that democracy is
coming out and talking plainly. In
Georgia, where it has risen to the height
of anti.lquor legislation, it puts the ques-
tion fairly to the people, whiskey," or
"no whiskey," and no man need have
any doubt how he votes on the matter
Which is the true and simon-pure democ-
racy that which curses the Scott law in
Ohio and declares for free rum, or that
which seeks to establish prohibition and
Danish whiskey in Georgia, and has al.
ready succeeded in doing so in fifty-nine
counties in the state ?-Christidn at Work.

How Watch Cases are Made.

A plate of SOLID GOLD IA 2-10 karats
fine is soldered on each side of plate of
hard nickel composition metal, and the
three are then passed between polished
steel rollers. From this plate the various
parts ofthe cases-backs, centers, bezels, etc.
are cut and shaped by dies and formers.
The gold is thick enough to admit of all
kinds of chasing, engraving, and engine
turning. The composition metal gives it
needed strength, stiffness and soiidity while

In Joliet, ILL.,, the one thousand dollar
license has been in force for two years
past. A correspondent of the Chicago
Tribune says "This town of twenty
Thousand population has but twenty-six
places where liquor is sold, when formerly
there were one hundred and seven. Those
that remain are conducted in the most
orderly manner for fear of forfeiture. No
drunkards are harbored; no minors can
buy intoxicants; the saloons close an
hour before midnight, and never are
opened on Sunday. A great change has
taken place in the character of the streets,
and rowdyism has become unknown.
Business improvements to the value OF
seven hundred and ninety-6ve thousand
dollars have been effected, and three new
churches are going up"
