Like the boy with the sled, who, as he
proceeds down the icy Hill, gains speed
faster and faster, the tippler has the
habit OF taking a drink grow on him,
until at last he is tumbled down the hill
of success and re<pectabilty. 1t is look
ed upon as friendly to ask others to drink,
to help them go down the bill. This is
putting the occasion of sin close to men
who under the influence of liquor may
commit sins they would shrink from when
sober. 1t becomes the duty of every one
to avoid the occasion Of sin and keep it
from others. The only way to keep from
drinking the fourth, sixth or tenth glass
is not to drink the first Never run the
risk of Offering drink to anyone. God
bless the physicians for all the good they
do for mankind, but many of them have
to answer for the way they prescribe
whisky for persons. These prescriptions
do great amount of harm. BE careful
to whom you give them. Some persons
need total abstinence others do not. 1t
is question between man and his God.
Be honest to yourselves. You know
whether the use of liquor is the occasion
of sin. If it is, stop it, and for the sake
of Jesus Christ help put down this evil
that is sapping the life of society and
religion. n.-BaNimore Sun.

The Law in a Horse Trade.

The Pennsylvania Courts have decided
that while you mustn't lie about it direct
ly and openly, it is perfectly lawful to
keep your mouth shut during a horse
trade, and while you must not warrant
an animal as perfectly sound in limb and
condition, without fault, spot, mar or
blemish, when you know that be has q
glass eye, goat neck, mango, saddle galls'
roach back, ring bone, quarter crack
SPAWN, fiat foot, wind gals, scratches,
capped hook, stiff joint, blind staggers'
oxfoot, rattaiI and hollow back, yet you
are not compelled to call attention TO
these minor defects in the splendid Ken
tucky bred animal you are trying to trade
the stranger for spring wagon, set ol
harness, two year old colt and $S5 cash.
This is a wise and humane law, and lets
the deacon out Of great many tight
places, where otherwise trade would be
paralyzed, the arteries of commerce
choked and stagnated by the unwise
hand of oppressive laws, and panic, mis-
trust and depression would settle down
upon hopeless world in the rayless
gloom of mistrust aud suspicion.-Hawh
