LIBERTY.
(Original.l

The meaning of the word liberty is. not
we'll understood by very large number OF
people. It seems to be the opinion Of many
persons that they have the liberty to get
drunk and abuse any and everybody, in
any and every way they may see fit. The
excuse they give for the many outrages they
perpetrate on society is "they were drunk" "
This excuse is generally received as good
and valid by the injured. Even courts OF
Justice are disposed, sometimes, to regard
drunkenness as an excuse for the violation
of law. This is one-sded justice. n drunk
man has rights. No one will deny this.
He has the right to be restrained and gov
erned by the law and he has the right to be
protected by the law. This, however, by
no means proves that sober men have no
rights. Has the time come when the good
and Virtuous are to be neglected and drunk
en- rowdies respected? Is this liberty? 1t
is hoped that the number of the sober is
greater than the Incorporate. If such be
the case, are the few to govern the many ?
Is this liberty? Is this republicanism? Is
this for the good of society? Is this in ac-
cordance with the principles of the Christian
religion?
Those who grant drunken rowdies the
privilege of governing and controlling So
ciety, enslave themselves and damage the
cause of Jesus Christ. Society should hold
men strictly accountable for their drunken
deeds. God acts in this way. He holds
them accountable for all the wicked acts
they perpetrate when drunk, and puts down
drunkenness itself in the catalogue of crime.
But we are told society must be merciful
to drunkards. This means society must be
unmerciful to sober men.

AGUR,S PRAYER.

The prayer of Agur is certainly most re-
markable. "Remove," he says, 'far from
me vanity and lies give me neither power;
ty nor riches; feed me with food convenient
for me-" This prayer is remarkable for its
devotion, but its striking feature is the
great amount of good common sense which
it expresses in few plain words. In the
first part of the petition he entreats God to
remove far from him vanity and lies. In
this there is "a vast amount Of good sense.
Vanity and lies are the ruin Of the human
family. The second thing he asks for is that
God would give him neither poverty nor
riches. No doubt, multitudes have begged
God to withhold from them poverty, but
very few have ever had either piety or sense
enough to beg God to withhold from them
riches. The reason assigned by Agur for
this part of the petition is full of good sense
and manifests a devout spirit. "Lest," says
he, 81 be full and deny thee and say, who is
the Lord ? or lest 1 be poor and steal, and
take the name Of my God in yain." No
one but man of goodsound sense and close
and accurate observation ever discovered
that extreme poverty and great wealth are
unfavorable to piety.

FOLLOW JESUS.

Every one will admit that to follow Jesus
is the sum of Christianity. limo other way
can we, as Christians, exemplify our religion
except by following our Lord and Master.
Practical Christianity consists in being like
Jesus. Now Jesus Christ came into the
world to seek and save the lost. None eX-
cept infdels deny this. For the salvation
Let us make the application of the princi-
pie which all admit as correct. How many
ioin the church that they may engage in the
work of saving sinners? The usual answer
given by persons applying for membership
in the church to the question, Why 40 you
desire to ioin the church is, 81 want to be
saved.' How many ever thought that one
great duty, if not the greatest duty of profess
sed Christians is to be co-laborers with Jesus
Christ in saving sinners. The se!tshness OF
the human heart will show itself in our rell-
gion as we'll as in our secular transactions.
It is this selfshness that causes the work of
Christianizing the world to drag.

MIR. MACKEY,S WIDOW.

There is quite romantic history connect
ed with the courtship and marriage to his
octoroon wife Of Congressman Mackey, of
South Carolina, who died in Washington on
Monday. Mrs. Mackey's father was white
man, one of the celebrated Sumter family,
of South Carolina, and her mother, quad
room, was Cecilia Preston, sister of Will
District Police Station, Eighth and Lombard
streets. Congressman Mackey first met his
future wife, Vickey Sumter, when she was
a girl of twelve years of age and he a man OF
tWenty-three. At that time she was girl
of great beauty, but without any education.
Mr.. Mackey fell in love with her at first
sight and determined to make her his wife.
He gained her mothers permission and
sent the girl to Oberlin College, iE Ohio, to
be educated at his expense, that she might
be fitted to become his wife. She passed
nearly five years at Oberlin, diligently pur-
suing her studies and corresponding with
Mr.. Mackey, but.never seeing him until the
day before she was to be graduated Her
vacations had always been spent in Phila-
delphia with her uncle, William Preston,
with whom her mother and younger sister
resided. In the spring of 1874, when she
was to be graduated, Mr.. Mackey came on
from Charleston and took Miss Sumters
mother on with him to Oberin to witness
the commencement exercises and to bring
Miss Vickey home. When Mr.. Mackey
met her there, after the five years separa-
ton, she had grown if possible more beauti-
full than ever. She was highly accomplish
ed and received her diploma with honors,
after which Mr.. Mackey, the young lady
and her mother came to this city and stop
ped at the Continental Hotel. That even
ing Bishop Simpson was sent for and the
young couple were married in Parlor c.
The only witnesses to the ceremony were
the BRIDES mother, her young sister Rosalie
and William Preston, her uncle. Mrs.
Mackey had three children, who, like her
self, are -Philadeiphid Times.

"But want reasonable apology to give

The clerk promised, and the grocer
wheeled chest of tea and a bag of coffee
home as beginning. Next morning when
he appeared at the store the safe was open,
the cash gone and on the desk was a note
from the clerk reading:

an OLD STORY REVISED AND M
PRovED.-An Irishman, finding his cash at
low ebb, resolved to adopt ''the road" as a
professional means Of refreshing the eX-
chequer and having provided himself with
huge horse-pistol, proceeded forthwith to
the conventional "lonely common" and lay
in wait. The no less conventional farmer
returning from the market with "bag of
money" of course, soon appeared, to whom
entered Pat with regulation highWayman
offer of choice, "Your money or your life !"
a remark fortified by the simultaneous ex-
hibition of the firearm in the usual way.
The farmer, who was a Quaker, essayed to
temporize. 'I would not have thee stain
thy soul with sin, friend and didst thou
rob me of my gold, it would be theft ; and
didst thou kill me, it would be murder.
But hold! A bargain is no sin, but COM
merce between two honest men. l will
give thee this bag of gold for the pistol
which thou holdest at my ear" The unsus-
pecting amateur Macbeth, yielding, per-
haps, to the Quaker's logic and solicitude
for his spiritual welfare, made the exchange
without moments hesitation. "Now,
friend," cried the willy Ephraim, leveling
the Weapon, "give me back my gold or III
blow thy brains out ~ "Blaze away thin,
darlint - said Pat. "Sure, there's niver a
dhrop of powther in it," The result was a
sold Quaker.-M Chambers Journal.
