Temperance in Schools.

Natures way of bringing beauty and
order out of chaos is to flood darkness
with light. We shall never get beyond
this method by any spasmodic pyrotech-
MICS, which, no matter how popular for
time, only serve to make the darkness
more visible when their artificial corus-
cations are withdrawn. The work among
the children yields much larger divi-
dend on our investment of time and toll
than is afforded by our work among the
drinking-class. We may as well face that
fact and learn its lesson thoroughly.
When see our school-boys stunning their
growth and drying up their brains with
smoke; when l discover that their very
cigars are soaked in alcoholic liquors,
and they are baited with beer and en-
ticed into saloons by music and by
games; when am told of their degen-
eracy in scholarship, so that the per-
centage of girls who graduate and take
honors is steadily gaining on that of
boys-it seems to me that toward the
children we have been strangely, if not
culpably, negligent as Temperance
workers. 1t is glorious thing, as has
been said, to go out with the Gospel
life-boat and strive to save wrecked
manhood; but it is Just as much in ac-
cordance with Christ's plan, and for us
far wiser economy of effort to build
lighthouse on the sunken reef, warning
the unskilled voyager upon life's treach-
erous sea.-FrGnceS %. Ballard.

He has blighted the sunny, happy
years of childhood, and caused the IT.
tie ones to pass their lives in squalor,
misery and want; and homes that might
have been the abode of perennial hap
piness have been turned into habita-
tons of internal misery.
He has Frustrated the public press to
his purposes and uses, so that, too oft
en-, instead of nobly speaking out for
justice and right, and the good of the
people at large, it basely yields to his
demands to be sustained in his efforts to
crush and ruin our race.
He has infatuated very many of the
office-seekers and office-holders with the
belief that it is far more important to
promote his interests than to labor for
the welfare of the people at large.
He has changed, in many places, the
Holy Sabbath, with its hours of peace
full quiet, a day devoted to religious OBJ
servances and the worship of Almighty
God, to day of revelry, drunkenness
and debauchery.
In every stage of these expressions
we have petitioned for redress in the
most humble terms; our repeated pc
tltlons have been answered only by re-
peated injury. Aruler whose character
is thus marked by every act which may
define tyrant is unfit to be the sover-
eign of a free people.
Nor have we been wanting in our at
tentions to those engaged in making
and selling alcoholic drinks. We have
implored them to have pity upon the
suffering wife and the ragged, starving
| oil hox
sentiment of our common nature to in
duce them to withhold the deadly
draught from our boys and young men,
and the habitual drunkard, but all in
vain. They, too, have been deaf to the
voice of justice and humanity, and have
laughed us to scorn.
We have exhausted all our resources
in our endeavors to obtain relief from
those engaged in the traffic in distilled
and fermented liquors, and have utterly
failed. The only course left us to pur-
sue is to dissolve completely our con-
nection with so unjust, so tyrannical,
so oppressive power.
We, therefore, appealing to the Su-
preme Judge of the Universe for the
rectitude of our intentions, do solemnly
publish and declare that the people of
this land are, and of right ought to be,
free and independent; that we are alb
solved from all allegiance to King Alco-
hol, and to all his adherents; that, as
free and independent citizens of these
United States, we have the right to
break away from his control and to
Danish the tyrant from our land
And for the support of this declara-
ton and the accomplishment of our
arduous undertaking, we earnestly in
woke the aid and sympathy of the civil
lied world, the fervent prayers of all
Christian people and the help and
guidance of Almighty God. And we
mutually pledge to each other our lives,
our fortunes and our sacred honor.

To Be Continued.

As the boat put in at James Land
ing, Ark, we saw four steers tied to a
fence, and every passenger at once car
ried his chair over to the port side to
see the fun. If there is any fun about
steamboating it is to load num-
Der of stout steers, with wild eyes,
long horns and handy legs. They don't
accept circumstances and they have no
romantic notions about sailing up or
down the Father of Waters. As soon
as the plank was lowered the mate and
a dozen darkies started for the cattle.
the officer singing out:
''Look alive, you niggers! On with
'em now-what are you doing?"
With great deal of hooking, and
prancing, and shouting and kicking the
first steer was pushed aboard. When
the second was tackled he braced his
legs, held down his head and six men
could not bulge him. The mate went
around behind to twist his tail, and as
he gave twirl at that useful appendage
he shouted out:
Now, then, every niger break his
back! Up with him. Boost-boost-!''
At that instant the steers heels took
a shoot out behind ard the mate rolled
over the grass. Some of the men went
to him and called him fond names and
unbuttoned his vest and stole his plug
of tobacco, but he was dead. When the
cattle were loaded we took him on and
laid him out ON some sacks of corn, and
as the boat steamed away we all spoke
well of the dead. Some said he had a
kind heart for all his buster, and others
affirmed that if ever a steamboat man
went to Heaven this one surely slipped
in for his charity towards the poor We
were about to draw up resolutions of
sympathy to present to his widow and
to make up purse for embalming his
body, when the miserable sinner sud-
denly sat up, gasped once or twice, and
continued:

kite! Now with him Now up Why,
you niggers, I'll murder the whole pack

dead for half an hour he was dumb

Honor to the Brave,

We felt like singing the DoXology
when we heard how certain brave wom-
en- of Dakota upheld the Temperance
standard. The Superintendent of the
Dakota Central Railroad, with party,
went by special train to Frankfort,
where they were met with liberal hos
pitality by the citizens, and shown ''the
very best spot in creation for that IA
SPYScG aTn6ita| hYR1jildMiRgar whiehis seeking
due inspection of real estate, all repaired
to large hall where splendid dinner
had been prepared, with generosity and
SKILL by the ladies of Frankfort. Now
comes the test! Some men determined
the guests should have wine for dinner,
and it should be set on the table. The
ladies decided it should not be done.
That was on Monday. Just as dinner
was ready to-day, these men brought in
bottles of wine and set them on the ia
BILE. A feminine rebellion ensued. The
ladies met and voted unanimously that
they would not wait on the table if the
wine remained, when the men said to
them: Let it alone, We'll wait on the
table ourselves" The ladies told them
to do it, and the men saw they could
not menace their own wives and daugh-
tiers, so they removed the wine. The
brave women returned and served din
ner in the best of style. The names of
these ladies are Mrs. Jacoby, Mrs.
Hemingway, Mrs. Durham, Mrs. Smith,
Mrs Kaull, Mrs. milford, Mrs. Harry
mand, Mrs. Fisher, Mrs. Skinner, Mrs.
Foster, Mrs. Walbridge and Miss Fos-
ter. Honor these brave, true-hearted,
noble women, who know the danger of
looking upon the cup, and putting it to
another's lips, and will not do it.
Would to God that all women looked
upon this danger as these ladies do

Temperance Reading.
THE DEAD MARCH.

Tramp, tramp, tramp, in the drunkards way
March the feet of million men;
II none shall pity and none shall stay,
Where will the march they are making end?
The young, the strong and the old are there
In woeful ranks as they hurry past,
With not moment to think or care
What is the fate that comes at last.
Tramp, tramp, tramp to a drunkard's doom,
Out of a boyhood pure and fair,
Over the thoughts of love and home
Past the check of a mothers prayer;
Onward swift to drunkard's crime, .
Over the plea of wife and child,
Over the hottest ties of time
Reason dethroned and soul gone wild.
Tramp, tramp, tramp, till drunkards grave
Covers the broken life of shame,
While the spirit Jesus died to save
Meets future we dare not name.
God help us all. there's cross to bear
And work to do for the mighty throng!
God giveus strength, till the toll and prayer
Shall end one day in the victor song

Singular Credit System.

Two months ago Pole in Schuylkin
County, Pennsylvania, opened saloon,
and proposed to run it on the credit
system. He was patronized by his
countrymen, and being unable to read
or write English, he requested the
English-speaking frequenters to charge
themselves with the amounts they were
indebted. One day last week he started
out to collect his bills, and some of the
most prominent business men in town
were startled by the presentation of
bills for drink received at polish
Jake's." A glance at the book showed
Henry Ward Beecher" indebted for
$42; "John B. Cough" for $50; ''Ros-
coe Conkling," for $37; FREDDY Geb-
hardt," for sly; ''Mrs. Langtry," $50,
and "Mace and Slade" charged with a
bill of $40. The sheriff has closed out
the saloon. The losses are 500. War
rants are out for the arrest of a number
of young men who are charged with
being implicated in the affair. N. Y.

OYER THE FENCE rs OUT.


In the noisy plays of our boyish days,
As we batted the ball about,
we had a rule, after hours of school,
That over the fence was out"
And though we are men, we think now and
then
OF that rule of our childish day:
We feel its force, with tinge of remorse,
In graver matters than play.
In struggle and greed, to supply ev'ry need,
We shorten life's meagre span:
And the gush of joy in the beardless boy DID,.
is lost in the bearded man.
We rear up false claims, we miss our best
aims,
And go down in the noise and rout;
We lind out too late, by not batting straight,
That "Over the fence is out"
We toll and we dig, we rear and we rig,
We barter we venture, we sail;
We bend ev'ry will, we mount evry hill
Forget we are human and frai
Our energies wasted, true bliss untasted,
We are whrled, like dead leaves, about;
In life's bleak December, too late to remember
That "Over the fence is out!''
