When Young man steals q sheep
or q pair of boots, which, by the
way, have probably not been
placed in his safe Keeping, society
has little doubt what to do with him.
1t comes to the conclusion in short
order that he is thief, and puts him in
Jail at hard labor or in state prison.
But if he has had place of trust in
some financial institution and grossly
betrays the confidence reposed in him,
society is somehow struck all of heap
and does not know what to do with
him. The crime must be covered up,
the deficiency made up by friends, there
must De NO pfusooutiO1, mo publicity and
no penalty whatever, and the young
man must be sent of to begin life
again.
Now we believe this is all mistaken
policy as regards the young man him.
self. We believe it is a terribly mis-
taken kindness. Some of our readers
probably know cases in which this
policy has been pursued, and the young
men in whose behalf it has been tried
generally become wanderers on the
face Of the earth, pursued by the phan-
tom of that old concealed crime left
behind and often rushing into new
ones. They were not vicious originally,
but they were weak, flabby morally;
they had about as much moral back
bone as a Jelly fish, or butterfly, aud
seeing older men indulgingin expensive
.luxuries and vices, they began to run
the same course until they are
caught in the traps of crime. Leniency
and sending of into new associations
are simply wasted on such men. They

and new start-a real one, not one of
these new birth conversions which do
he has been found out. II conviction,
penalty and disgrace are, the fit por-
ton and the best thing for the or
binary thief, they certainly are the
best thing for the embezzler. Let
him take his punishment, with such
professions Of repentance as he feels
justified in making, and such as courts
are always ready to take into account
in fixing the penalty. Then let him
return to his home, where we all know
him, and his father before him, and
begin again. He will be better off than
in some distant locality, where vague
rumors of crime greater than the fact
may at any time penetrate to damn his
peace of mind. Buthere at the scene
Of his crime and failure, he will always
have friends TO welcome and encourage
every effort for more promising ca

as the best.
1t is difficult for the parent, strung to
prostration and anguish by = sons
disgrace, to Judge with truth what is
best for that son, and the law wisely
does not take counsel of the parent,
justly presuming that his Judgment
may not at such a crisis be at it its
best. When young men are old enough
to accept responsible positions for
themselves, then it is time that they
should pass under the domain of that
equal and just administration of the
law upon all men which is the end Of

THOUGHTFUL SAYINGS.

(ynics and sycophants are equally de
spicable.
A joyful evening may follow sorrowful
morning
Give neither counsel nor salt till you are
asked for it.
Gold, when present, causeth fear; when
absent, grief.
Industry and patience are the surest
means of plenty.
Polteness is wreath of flowers that
adons the world.
We consider the man undone who is in
sensible to shame.
A handful of common sense is worth a
bushel of learning.
A good word for a bad one is worth
much and costs little.
Few sins are so unnatural and cruel as
ingratitude to parents.
One ungrateful man does an injury to all
who stand in need of aid.
Flattery is the bad mans most effective
means of corrupting Others.
Jealousy is the sentiment of poverty, but
envy is the instinct of theft.
From our ancestors come our name; but
from our virtues our honors.
Our true acquisitions lie only in our
cha rifles. we Gain as we give.
The generous heart should scorn pleas
ure which gives another pain.

WHY DON'T THEY TRY 1T HERE

The experiment of the W. c. T. L. of
Clinton county, tokeep temperance lunch
stand at the County Fair, has been success.
The receipts amounted to $1SS. Temper
ance literature was freely distributed, and
a sentiment aroused in favor of woman S
work that has never been known in this
county before.
The booth was decorated with fine
variety of flowers, flags and pictures. The
Temperance memorial engraving of our
dear Mrs. Lucy Webb Hays, decorated the
front, and just beneath were the letters w.
C. T. L.
1t is really astonishing how Ignorant
hundreds of people are in regard to our
work, and we had the opportunity of ell
Tightening many. 1t was really amusing
to hear the comments and inquiries as to
what w. G. Il. U. meant, and what society
those ladies belonged to-" One gentleman
told us 'the Fair Board could we'll afford
to pay the ladies for their presence, instead
of charging them for it, on account of the
good influence they exerted on those around
them" Some of the men connected with
a booth near us We're very profane and
seemed to have no respect for God nor man,
but the presence of the ladies of the w. c.
r. L. restrained them, so that the last two
days of the Fair, not profane word was
heard.
Our patrons were polite, and treated the
ladies with the greatest courtesy, and re-
ceived the temperance literature with many
thanks. We think there is no better way
of reaching and educating the masses than
in this way and if we had failed to clear
one cent of money, we would feel more
than repaid for our work, effort, and feel
assured that the Lord has blessed, and
will vet bless the work. Seed has been
sown that will yield an abundant harvest
in years to come.

HOW THEY GET THE BOYS.

1t is quite interesting to note the methods
in use among saloon keepers to entlce
young men and boys into their saloons.
With cunning knowledge of the love of
sport so common to our youths, the saloon
keeper has arranged to have scores of base
ball games and results of other sporting
contests sent to his place, where those who
are after the desired information may find
it, and be brought in contact with the
habits of the patrons of the place. Bets
may be paid i'll beer: beer is convenient
thing to pay bets i'll, for loser and winner
simply treat themselves to drink, the
only difference being that one pays .aad the
other don't. The saloon keeper who never
did, never will and never can do anything
disinterestedly, expects returns for his out
lay, and for the information he furnishes
expects to get back increased custom; not
from other saloons, but from those who
will drink to-day where they did not yes
terday And that class is mostly the be
ginners" or young boys. The atmosphere
of the saloon is drink; the courtesy ex-
pected is that you will drink all you can
and get all your friends to drink with you.
The Courtesy is the soft featured vlsage
of malignant tyranny that sleeps ON the
face of saloon keeper and is aroused on
the instant at refusal to drink. A saloon
keeper has no use for boy that can not be
inveigled into drinking, fact that ought
to set every father in the land thinkihg'
and the conclusion is one of the simplest.
If he has no use for him because he VIII
not drink, then it is obvious that the great
est use lie has for him is to make HIM
drink all he can The saloon keeper I'm
parts his own tyranny to his patrons, es-
pecially the younger portion, and they do
his coaxing, brow beating, soothing, JeerihS
for him upon their comrades. The weak
ness and susceptibility of boy nature is the
saloonsts great hold to replenish his Gus

ragged and final goal of drunkenness, nave

GO FEEL WHAT HAVE FELT.
BY Young Lady who was Told that She
was a MOnOmaniac In her Hatred
of Alcoholic Liquor.

Go feel what have felt:
Go bear what have borne;
Sink meath blow a father dealt,
And the cold, proud worlds scorn.
Thus struggle on from year to year,
Thy sole relief the scalding tear
Go weep as have wept;
Ger loved fathers fall;
See every cherished promise swept,
Youths sweetness turned to gall;
Hopes faded flowers strewed all the way,
That led me up to womans day.
Go kneel as l have knelt;
Implore, beseech, and pray;
Strive the besotted heart to melt,
The downward course to stay.
Be cast with bitter curse aside
Thy prayers burlesqued, thy tears denied.
Go stand where / have stood;
And see the strong man bow,
With gnashing teeth, lips bathed in blood,
And cold and livid brow;
Go, catch his wandering glance and see
There mirrored his souls misery.
Go hear what have heard,
The sobs of sad despair,
As memory's feeling fount hath stirred,
And its reyealingS there
Have told him what he might have been,
Had he the drunkards fate foreseen.
Go to my mothers side,
And her crushed spirit cheer;
Thine own deep anguish hide,
Wipe from her cheek the tear;
Mark her dimmed eye, her furrowed brow,
The gray that streaks her dark hair now,
The toil-worn frame, the trembling limb,
And trace the ruin back to him
Whose plighted faith in eilrly youth,
Promised eternal love and truth;
But who foresworn, hath yielded up
This promise to the deadly cup,
And led her down from love and light,
From all that made her pathway bright,
And chained her there mid want and strife,
That lowly thing-a drunkard's wife!
And stamped ON childhoods brow so mild,
That whitening blight--a drunkard's child
Go hear, and see, and feel, and know
All that my soul hath ever known.
Then look within the wine cups glow;
See il its brightness can atone,
See if its flavor you would try,
Ifall proclaimed, IT'S drink or die!
Tell me hate the bowl,
Hate is feeble word;
l loath, abhor; my very soul
By strong disgust is stirred,
Whenever l see, or hear, or tell,
OJthe dark beverage Of he'll!
