Temperance Items.

MORE THAN TEN THOUSAND of the
clergymen of the Church of England
are total abstainers, according to the
London CHRISTIAN World.
A TEMPERANCE ASSOCIATION for wo-
men is forming branches throughout
England. 1t combines the princ'pl of
the Temperance and the beneficial So
cieties, and the organization is known
as Daughters of Temperance.
SAYS FATHER BURKE. of the Roman
Catholic Church, ''When God made
us He gave us soul and body together,
in all the activity of their powers. The
man that annihilates his own soul for
single instant by drunkenness commits
an outrage against the God that has
made him, against the author of his
nature
SIR JOHN RICHARDSON, the Arctic
explorer, than whom there is probably
no one better able to give clear and
definite Judgment on this point, says
that when his party we're suffering the
greatest privations and exposed to the
greatest cold, with no food but the
lichens scraped from under the snow,
they found it was better to use the spir-
it they had to boil water than to put it
into their bodies. The introduction of
any kind of spirits into their stomachs
only made them colder, and increased
their suflerings. Let no man be de-
ceived into drinking to keep hiraselt
warm. 49, Union Sig1sas.

A Widows Baggage.

Respectful gallantry and refined at
tention to women are among the char
acteristics of every true Boston man.
Like virtue, these qualities are their
own reward -that is, usually, although
n recent case in which they were mani
tested was attended with some unex-
pected results. A gentleman of this
city, while returning from the West a
short time ago, found an agreeable ac-
quaintance in q lady who occupied an
adjacent seat in the drawing-room car,
and who, travelling alone, received with
modest dignity the courtesies which,
like the true man he was, he felt i'm
PEELED to offer. There was something
peculiarly interesting about her to this
Boston man, who had an excellent taste
in the matter of women. She was good
looking and amiable, quiet and intelli-
gent in conversation, and had, withal,
a subdued and chastened manner about
her which, without actually being sad
ness, was tinged with an interest
ing suggestion of pensive melancholy.
In such society the Boston mans course
to this city was most agreeably sped,
and as he had learned that his COM
panion was en- route for city in Maine
and must transfer her baggage from
one depot to another, he offered to take
her checks aed attend to this business
for her. This suggestion was received
with moments hesitation which
struck the Boston man at the time as
singular; light blush passed over her
features. but the next moment a smile
replaced it, and the checks were placed
in his hand. On presenting them at
the baggage-car trunk was produced
upon the first; then some moments of
delay occurred, and at last, to the hor-
ror of the gallant Boston man, long
coffin came out borne of four. The
amiable lady in the car was travelling
with the body of her husband; never
theless the Bostonian attended to the
transfer of the peculiar piece of bag
gage like a little man, and babe the
widow farewell with a new and unde-
Unable feeling attending upon his for

that he knew case of a woman who

after he had became too fond of his

no notice was taken. Next morning he
went to the place, and she was u corpse.
He said that, had they given her salt,
it would have relieved her, and, if they
would allow him to make an examina-
ton, he would convince them. On
opening the stomach the nuts were
found in q mass. He sprinllled salt on

John Barleycorn, my 10 John,
When we were first acquaint
Your face was rather yellow, John,
You smclt of peppermint;
Yet, | began TO love you, John,
And soon | loved you so,
I'd share my only cent with you,
John Barleycorn, my 10.
But now the time has come, John,
For me that love TO smother;
And you must take one road, John,
And | will take the other;
For we may tumble down, John,
If hand in hand we go,
When all the damage will be mine,
John Barleycorn, my 10.
You have not used me well, John,
While journeying together;
You said you'd be my friend, John,
In fair or stormy weather;
But when the rain came down, John,
And fierce the wind did blow,
You left me in the roadside ditch,
John Barleycorn, my 10.
Your fellowship is bad, John,
Tho jolly It's sometimes;
1t leads the way to wrong, John,
And frequently to crimes;
All, many are the scrapes, John,
You've got me in, you know,
But never once have helped me out,
John Barleycorn, my 10.
With sorrow you have caused, John.
My loving wife to sigh;
My children to wear rags, John,
With hunger made them cry;
And then if | rebuked them, John,
Which aided to their woe,
You always said | served them right,
John Barleycorn, my 10.
You've bleary made my eyes, John,
Put blotches on my cheek;
And painted red my nose, John,
My once strong hands made weak.
1 think you must have aimed, John,
In death to lay me low;
And none too soon I've found you out
