Make Drunkenness a Crime.

The venerable Rev. DR.. Andrew p.
Peabody, late preacher to Harvard col.
lege, in recent letter on the sale and use
of Intoxicating liquors expresses the be-
lief that the only remedy for intemper-
ance is to make drunkenness the prime
offence, and to bring about a state of
public feeling In which drunkenness and
all approaches to it shall be looked upon
with the same disesteem, loathing and in
tense moral disapprobation with which
the attempt is made to brand the sale of
spirituous liquors. He says: Stigmatize
the sale and the seller as you please, l
care not with how deep brand, if you
will only make one deeper still for those
whose vice makes the sale infamous. The
most efficient legislation in behalf of tenn
perance would be subjecting intoxication
in all cases to ignominious punishment.
What the law makes ignominious society
will hold in like disesteem. If young
man of respectable family is liable to be
locked up in q house of correction for
coming home drunk from convivial
gathering, not only will he be restrained
from excessive indulgence, but his parents
and friends will be very careful how they
start him on the first steps of the evil
way. Making drunkenness infamous
would do more than all things else
toward checking, and to very large de
gree entirely preventing, the use Of
strong drink of any kind in families and
ON occasions of social festivity, and would
multiply beyond any other conceivable
cause the number of total abstinents.

Can the Law Make 1t Right

Men who sell beer Justify themselves
because the law permits them to sell.
But does that make it right, or prevent
the criminal results that follow beer.
drinking? Let us see. The beer.trafic
was made legal in Massachusetts, in 1870.
In Boston, the first year after the passage
of the bill, 1858 more persons were COM
mitted to the city prison than during the
previous year. In New Bedford, city of
$4,000 persons, in eight months under
free beer, crime increased sixty-eight per
cent. Letters were addressed to the chiefs
of police, district attorneys, and judges OF
the supreme court throughout the state
with regard to the beer. The testimony
in the responses was almost invariable
"Beer excites men to acts of violence
desperation and crime" England in
1880 legalized the beer-trade. In four
years $4,000 new beer-shops were opened
and not one whiskey-shop closed. Before
the passage of this act the increase Of
crime was twelve per cent. For ten years
after it was thirty-one per cent. Thirty
nine years after this, all the chief consta
bles and superintendent of police through
out Great Britain were asked how Il
prevent crime. Almost without exception
the reply was, Shut up the beer-houses.

"Keep Up, Christians Z"

As was riding along in the south of
France one day saw pair of fine birds
overhead. The driver called out in the
French tongue, eagles !" Yes; and there
was a man below with a gun who was
wishful to get nearer acquaintance with
the eagles but they did not come down
to oblige him. He pointed his rifle at
them, but his shots did not reach half
way, for the royal birds kept above. The
higher air is the fit dominion for eagles.
Up there is the eagles playground, where
he plays with the callow lightnings. Up
above the smoke and clouds he dwslls.
Keep there, eagles Keep there If men
can get within range they mean no good
to you. Keep up, Christians Keep up
in the higher element, resting in Jesus
Christ, and do not come down to find a
perch for yourself among the trees OF
philosophy.-Rev. C. II. Sturgeon.

Shun Them.

Young women, in treating dissip ated
young men as equals, do a wrong that
they can scarcely realize. Such men
should be made to feel that until they re-
deem themselves, until they walk with
correctness and honor in the path of right,
good people will stand aloof from them.
Girls who respect themselves will not be
seen with such young men, and will de-
cline to receive them on the familiar foot

Like strains Of helllsh music,

That, in the silent hour,

Such is its awful power
The laughter Of the drunkard
IT'S the ssddest sound know
Like the shouting Of the bondman,
II only speaks Of wool
1t tells me Of a soul decayed,
or godlike reason fed;
That memory and sense are gone,
And self-respect ia dead
The laughter Of the drunkardi
What scenes Of dark despair
1t bnngeth on the faithful wife,
And children of his care.
He. who once looked 80 lovingly,
And knelt with them in prayer,
Now laughs TO scorn the Joys OF home,
And breathes out curses therei
The laughter Of the drunkardl
How many hearts deplore
The sadness and the misery,
II hath for them in store,
Hope fieeth from Its presence,
For love and truth have flown;
And conscience swift retireth
From the demon on the throne
