ONE OF MANY-A TRUE CHRISTMAS STORY.
While passing along a dark street in the
cold and slnsh on Christmas Eve, suddenly
piteous screams aud wild shrieks hurried
us across to the opp Osite side, where fright
ened children We're pouring out OF color
ed family's home. AS he drew near the
drunken father was holding his three-year-
old child at arms length and mercilessly
beating the helpless innocent, that scream
ed as if in the jaws of hyena. Before we
could reach him he had thrust the child
out into the snow with the rest and shut
and thrust her out.
AS we forced open the door, the brutal
father, craZed with drink, WAS pacing the
room, where all was confusion, behaving
like mad hyena that had cleared its den
of intruding enemies, rather than as q So
Der man, gathering around hishearthstone
as he should have been, with his own flesh
and blood. in the glad enjoyments of a hap
Ply Christmas Eve.
This is one Of the many scenes and ex-
authorizes and approves. from year to year.
But perhaps they say, "This was only a
negro wife, only a 'n5gger baby'-what is
their suffering. agony and woe to us ? We
get $100license from the saloon that brings
their sorrows."
0 that Christian voters would stop and
think. and not longer blaspheme Heaven
with their prayers, till their skirts are
cleared of these barbarisms in out midst.

Drinkers, as well as vendors, need come
thing more potent than linguistic persua-
sives Some of them are not likely to be
permanently reformed till the places of
temptation are closed. They may deter
mine to discontinue drinking. but with le-
galized vendors coming money from bro
ken VOWS, it is impossible that majority
of drinkers should conquer the appetite.
Will-power is too feeble. The hope Of flu
ture good is obscured by the desire fer
present qualification
Nor is it worth our while to conceal the
fact that the cause of temperance is Sc
riously weakened by conceding that mora
suasion is the only agency at our command.
We thereby give currency to the opinion
that Misunderstanding is not wrong, though
it is "a little inexpedient Please desist.
Those who regard this as the only legiti-
mate agency would do well to reflect
whether it might not be well to repeal all
laws against crime, and organize society
into coaXing fraternity. When man
finds his safe emptied of government
bonds by aneighbor, let him set to work
and coax the thief not to appropriate his
'Bland" dollars also. If on returning from
his business he discovers his wife murder
ed by the coachman, let him cry over him,
pray with him, sing for him and implore
him to spare the helpless children.
Nor will religion, unaided by law, effect
the needed remedy. The only hope of the
drunkard, 1T may be, is genuine CONVEX
sion. Is this any reason why society
should go on manufacturing drunkar1s
