What is Man =?

Man that is born of woman is small
potatoes, and few in the hill.
He riseth up to-day and fourisheth
like rag weed, and tomorrow, or the
day after, the undertaken has him in the
ice-box.
He goeth forth in the morning warb-
ling like lark, and is knocked out in
one round and two seconds.
In the midst of life he is in debt, and
the tax collector pursueth him wherever
he goeth.
The banister of life if full of splinters,
and he slideth down it with considera-
Bile rapidity.
He walketh forth in the bright SUM-
light to absorb ozone, and meeteth the
bank-teller with sight-draft for 1857.
He cometh home at eventide and
meeteth the wheelbarrow in his path,
and the wheelbarrow riseth up and smi-
teth him to the earth, and runneth one
of its legs into his ear.
In the gentle spring-time he putteth
on his summer clothes, and a blizzard
striketh him far away from home and
filleth him with woe and rheumatism.
He layeth up riches in the bank, and
the President speculateth in margins
and then goeth to Canada for his health.
In the autumn he putteth on his win
ter trousers, and wasp that abideth in
them filleth him full of intense excite
ment.
He starteth down cellar with an ole
ander, and goeth first hastily, and the
oleander cometh after him and stitch
upon him.
He stitch up all night to get the re-
turns from Ohio, and in the end learn
eth that the other fellows have carried it.
He buyeth a watch dog, and when
he cometh home late from the Lodge,
the watchdog treeth him and stitch
beneath him until rosy morn.
He goeth to the horse trot and bet
teth his money on the brown mare, and
the bay gelding with the blaze face win
meth.
He marrieth red-haired heiress with
a wart on her nose, and the next day
her paternal ancestor goeth under, with
few assets and great liabilities, and
cometh home to live with his beloved
son-in-law.

This loss of self-respect, the lowering of
ambition, and the fading out of hope are
signs of the progress of this disease In the
character. It is mournful spectacle-that
of the brave, inE enisus, high-spirited man
sinking steadily down into the degradation of
inebriety; but how many such spectacles
are visible all over the land And it is not
in the character of those alone who no.
torieus drunkards that such tendencies appear.
They are often seen in the lives of men
who are never drunk. Sir Henry Thomp-
sons testimony ia emphatic to the effect that
the habitnal use of fernented liquors, to
an extent far short of what Is necessary to
produce intoxicatlon, injuries the body and
diminishes the mental over " IT. as he
testifes a large proportion of the most pain
full and dangerous maladIes OF the body are
due to s'the of fermented liquors, taken
in the quantity which is conventionally
deemed moderate" then it is certain that
such use of them must result also in serious
injuries to the mental and moral nature.
Who does not know reputable gentlemen,
physicians, artists, clergymen even, who
were never drunk in their lives, and never
will be, but who reveal, in conversation and
in co nduct, certain melancholy effects of the
drink ing habit The brain is often in
fame with alcohol that its functions are i'm
perfe city performed, and there ia a percepti
BILE 10 ss of mental power and of moral tone
The d rinker is not conscious of this loss
bat tn os6 who know him best are painfully
aware that his perceptions are less keen, his
judgm ents less sound, his temper less serene,
his piritual vision less clear, because he tar
ries every day a little too long at tie wine
Even those who refuse to entertain asc=tio
theories respecting these beverages MAY be.
able to see that thers are uses of them that
stop short of drunkenness, and that are still
extremely hurtful to the mind and the heart
well the body. That conventional idea
of moderation, to which Sir Henry Thomp-
SON refers, is quite elastic; the term is
stretched to cover habits that are steadily de
spelling the life of its 1srest fruits The
drinking habit is often defended by reputable
gentlemen to whom the very thought of a
debauch would be shocking, but to whom, if
it were only lawful, in the tender and just
solicitude of friendship, such words as these
might be spoken: ''It is true that sou are
not drunkards, and may never be; but if
you could know. what is too evident to those
who love you best, how your character is
slowly losing the 1rmness of its texture and
the finensss of its oatline how your art de-
teriorates in the delicacy of its touch how
the atmosphere of your life seems to grow
nurky and the sky lowers gloomily above
you-you would not think your daily indul
gsnce harmless in its measure. It is in just
such lives as yours that drink exhibits some
of its most mournfuI tragedies
