That able exponent of physiological
research, DR.. Carpenter, has given us in
the Nineteenth CeRturya matter of fact
that has its lesson no less than if found
ed on total abstinence premises.
There we're, he says, two regiments
in India, one a remarkably temperate
regiment, the Eighty-fourth, and in it
the normal death rate was 121. There
was another regiment that was not so
temperate though not altogether intcm-
perate, the Sixty-third, the death rate
of which was something like 1872. Now,
fssses 5fggeents NJ to march from the
same place to another place, but in
different directions, in very unhealthy
season. 1t was very wet, and there was
good deal of cholera prevailing at the
time. The temperate regiment the
Eighty-fourth, got to the end of its
march without suffering any sickness,
whereas the sickness which attacked
the Sixty-third, or Incorporate one,
was so great that it filled all its own
transports and was obliged to borrow
the sick palan Juins belonging to the
Eighty-fourth. This account ought to
be put up in every soldiers barrack in
the country and in every hospital.

BEFORE AND AFTER.


The rosy hue that decked her face
Was like the sca-shell tint,
Her form IDEAL symmetflc grace,
Eyes like sparks freed from flint
Her golden ringiets hung in curis,
Her diamonds, too, took me;
Teeth, two rows OF shining pearls
AL this before she shook me,
AFTER SHAKEN.
Some unlucky char has cut me out,
And evenings takes her walking:
feel little VeXed, no doubt,
For it starts the gOssips talking;
But she s not half so pretty now
she modest Nature mocks;
the maiden bushes meath her brow,
She buys it by the hex.
Her form so perfect, as thought,
Is made with cotuOn-waste:
in a dollar store her gems were bought
They're nothing else but paste.
Her golden hair that drO0ps in curls
Her false complexion suits;
Because, I've learned from other girls,
It's not golden at the roots.
Her teeth are false, upon my honor,
And penciled are her lashes;
Her eyes made bright with bellsdonua,
Give forth the sparkling flashes.
In fact, reality she shocks,
As she blushing nature apes,
Don't think Tn Ike the tabled fox

TEMPERANCE reaches out so broadly
that we are teaching large part of
ones duty to oneself, to society and to
the State, in teaching it; SO deeply does
intemperance strike that an education
as to body, mind and soul is incomplete
without teaching children and youth to
shun it. We train children for life in
other things in the light OF the maxim
'sforewarned, forearmed" -why not in
respect to that which renders all other
education vainP-E Education.

picks out its own wilful way to Lexing-

house. The large, ample yard in front
gives it look of dignity and import

"Other houses may be so common that
you can step into them directly from
the street, but this is unusual, and you
have all the long path between gateway
and door to think over the fact that you
are coming to something unique"
And this last thought, two tall spruces
rising above the walk, two bushy horse
chestnuts near them, other trees also in
the yard, and, rising sentinel-like, seem
to repeat when they talk with the wind,
and say, "Something unique, sir; some

New YORK, March 6-Father Larkin, OF
the Catholic church of the Holy lnnocants,
in his pulpit on Sunday denounced THE
Shaughraun," and also the plays produced
at Harrigan & Harris theatre, and
warned his parishioners against visiting
them "The Shaughraun," declared
the reverend father, "is a disgrace
to the Irish raca. 1t. pretenis that the Irish
priests are 50 depraved that they don't know
the difference between whisky and the milk
in their tea In the wake he represents the
Irish dancing. The anathemas of the church
should fall upon Boucicault and his piece.
No church member in good standing Will go
to see it; and those men, Harrington and
Hart, are of the same sort, and all their plays
tend TO degrade the Irish Don't go near
them. All they care about the Irish is for
the Irishman's dollar"
Mr.. Boucicault, in reply to these structures,
has written a letter to Cardinal McCloskey
calling his attention to Mr.. Larkins remarks,
saving that the reverend gentleman cannot
have seen the play of the "Shaughraun," and
has evidently been misinformed about it.
Mr.. Boucicault adds that he has received
many testimonials OF thanks from the Irish
for his services to that people, and he sub
mits his career as a vindication of his love
for the race He feels that when the rev
erend father realizes that he has done him
wrong he will be glad to make amends.

I4arkin's attack said it was nothing new to
him. He had been denounced by the Land
league meetings and Irish newspapers bul
the theatre was crowded nightly with peoplc
looking for wholesome laugh and he though
he served a worthy purpose. Indeed, he had
letters fl ON Catholic ciergymen indOrsine

any ofense to the Irish race any more than

what he considered would be the result Of
the passage of the prohibition amendment
by the Iowa legislature, to express in brief
his opinion. He thinks, then, the law will be
found to be imperative. For a quarter Of a
century he notes that the enactment against
the traffic in spilituous liquor has proved OF
no avail; he scarcely thinks that now
with the incorporated "wine and beer clause
the law will become any the more oper-
alive. He considers the penalties of the law
