Carrie Fem, young woman of
New Haven, Conn, recovered from a
spinal disease some time ago unable to
recall the names of familiar objects or
to play the simplest music, though she
had been a skillful organisT. Having
still her love for music, she has been
relearning the notes and practicing the
scales. Suddenly, the other afternoon,
while drumming clumsily at the piano
like any beginner, her musical memory
returned and she astonished and de-

Hobby Parties.

AT one of Mrs. Hannah Whit
all Smiths "Hobby Parties" the
theme chosen to elicit general ex-
preston of opinion was personal
Liberty" Slips of paper were hand
ed round to the guests, and some of
them containing answers more or
less brilliant, have fluttered on
some Eastern breeze away to the
West-even to the editors desk.
We give a few of the best:
personal Liberty is to be no
longer the sLave to gin, but to be a
free man in Christ Jesus -
opportunity to do anything we
please that does not injure any 9TH
er person"
"The largest license to do that
which will promote ones own well
fare in common with that of our
neighbor."
Liberty to do right in, every
direction; liberty to do wrong in
none"
personal liberty like personal pro-
nouns comprises not merely the
ego but also the thou and he. This
| consider an answer to my mind
at least, to those who hold that
their personal liberty is in-
fringed by prohibition law"
The foregoing are all extremity
orthodox, but here are few which
show that the German idea was
not excluded in this free exhibit
ton of opinion.
"Perfect freedom. to think what
YOU wish to think. Do what you
wish to do, or say what you wish
to say. Your wishes are of course
governed by your character
whether you are a Christian, civil
lied, educated, ETC."
"To act from ones own indie
dendent thought entirely free
from outside influences.
"To:follow ones own will without
Jaw or restraint"
"A la aborigine, doing exactly
as one pleases, according to civil
lied Republican ideas, giving up
the wrong to hold the right"
"To act unbiased by influence"
The balance is restored again,
however, by the following, in the
copy of which we detect

uses the following strong Ian
guage, xtslich will be responded to
by the @amen who ilave suffered
ali ouerrthe land:
''Ofthe worst foes THAT women

tered more fortunes for them,

World, ''shere are hundreds of
thousands CT homes scattered all
over the land, in which women live
lives of tortlre, going through all
the chaRgesof suffering that lie be-
tween the extremes of fear and de-
spair, because those whom they
love, love miaae better than they do
the womeN whom they have sworn
to love. There are women by the
thousand who dread to hear at the
door the step that once thrilled
them with pleasure; that step has
learned to Geel under this inffu-
ence of the seductive poison.
There are women grooming with
pain, while sic write these words,
from bruises and brutalities in
flicted by husbands made mad by
drink. There can be no exaggera-
ton in any statement made in re-
gard to this matter, because nc hui
man Imagination can create any
thing worse tha& the truth, and no
pen is capable Of portraying the
truth.
The sorrows of q wife with
drunken husband, or a mother with
drunken son, arc as near the
realization of hell as can be
reached, in this world at least. The
shane, the indignation, the sor-
now, the sense of disgrace for her
self and children, the poverty-and
nat unfrequently beggary-the
fear and the fact Of violence: the
lingering, lifelong struggle and
despair of countless women with
drunken husbands, are enough to
make all women curse wine, and
engage unitedly to oppose it every
where as the very worst enemy of
their sex"

A Look at the Bright Side.

Many persons get discouraged be-
cause they don't know how active
the forces eff good are, or what vic
tories the army Of righteousness is
gaining. When it is dark about
them, they think it is dark every
where. They read the long Grim
mai record in the daily paper, and
say men are growing worse every
day But if they took one hour
Saturday night, and another Sun
day morning, to read some good
family or church paper, that would
tell them of the benevolent institu-
tlonsof the country and what they
were doing; of the temperance
gatherings in which hundreds
were being reclaimed from drunk
enness: of the number who dur
ing the week had been gathered
into the fold of the saved; of the
lost sheep who had been found,
the prodigals who had returned
home, would they not 60 thank
fully to tho Lords house with cheer
full faces and hopeful hearts? l
have known men who were ia
miliar with the fraud and rascality
and sin that were going on in the
city of New York. and yet did not
dream that it had nearly 300
asylums and homes for the aged
and homeless; knew nothing of
the millions that were raised for
Christian and benevolent purposes
In that city. They knew what
evil men were doing, but nothing
about the heroic and unselfish
lives of Gods children.-Chtcdgo

says:
Woman in reading a news paper,

She takes it unhurriedly, and he

thaugh she were bunting some par
ticular thing, but she is not. She
is merely taking in the obscure
paragraphs, which she believes,
were put in the out-of-the way
places for the sake of keeping her
FROM seeing them.
Marriages and deaths are always
interesting reading to her, and adj
vertisements are exeating and slim
ulating. She cares but little for
printed jokes, unless they reflect
ridicUGe upon the men, and then
she delights in thcna and never
forgets them.
She pays particular attention to
anythi&g inclosed liz quotations,
and considers it rather better au-
thority than anything frst-hand-
ed.
The column in which the editor
airs his opinions, in loaded hifalu-
tin, she rarely reads. Views are
of no Importance in her estima-
ton, but facts are everything. She
generally reads the poetry She
doesn't care for it, but makes a
practice Of reading it because she
thinks she ought to do So
She reads stories, and sketches,
and paragraphs unfortunately,
and believes every word Of them.
After she has read all she wants
she lays the paper down with an
air of disappointment as she OBJ
serves that there is nothing in it, "
