SOMETHING ABOUT WHISKEY.

What is whiskey bringing?" asked a
dealer in that article one day. He meant
to ask, how much it was selling for.
A gentleman who heard the remark took
it in an entirely different sense from that.
'tWhat is whisky bringing? p do You ask.
I'll tell you'll is bringing men to prison
and to the gallows, and it is bringing wo-
men and children to poverty and want.
There never was a trIer answer than this
1t is estimated that it sends to prison
every year one hundred thousand men and
women.
Twenty thousand children are sent to
the workhouse annually by drink 300
murders are caused by intenperance
every year. Two hundred thousand chill
dren are made orphans every year, by this
dreadful evil; and sixty-five thousand are
killed by intemperance every year III this
country.
Docs it seem possible that man will deal
ont to his brother such poisonous stuff,
when he knows it will prove his ruin?
Laws ought to be established and put in

behind the counter and deal ont the fatal
poison.

THE PRICE OF 4 DRINK.

.3en cents a glasStn Does any one think
That hat is really the price of a drink?
"7en cents q gtdSs,a ! hear you say;
why that isn't very much to pay"
An no, indeed: It's II very small sum
You are passing over 'twiNt finger and thumb
And if that We're all that you gave away;
Ii wouldn't be very much 10 pay.
The price Of drink? Let him decide
Who has lost his courage and lost his pride,
And lies groveling heap OF clay,
Nor far removed from Il beast to-day.
The price of II drink? Let that one tell
Who sleeps TO night in IL murderer's cell
And feels within him the fires of hell
Honor and virtue, love and truth,
All The glory ana pride of youth,
Hopes and manhood, the wreath of fame,
High endcaror, and noble aim
These are the treasures thrown away
As the price Of drink from day to day.
.sTen cents a gtdSs!n How Satan laughed,
As over the bar the young man quafied
The beaded liquor; for the demon knew
The terrible work that drink would do;
And before the morning the victim lay
With his Likelihood swiftly cbbing away;
And that was the price he paid, alas.
For the pleasure OF taking social glass.
The price of IL drink If you want to know
What some are willing to pay for il, go
Through that wretched tenement over there,
Where dingy windows and broken stair,
Where foul disease like IL vampire crawls
Withoutstretched wings o'erthe mouldy walls
There poverty dwells with her hungry brood
Wild-eyed rs demons for lack of food;
There shame in II corner cronches low;
There violence deals its cruel blow;
And innocent ones thus accused
To pay the price of another's thirst
''Ten cents giaSs.' Oh, if that were all,
The sacrifice would indeed be small
But the moneys worth the least amount
We pay; and who ever will keep account
viii learn the terrible waste and blight
That follow this ruinons appetite.
"Ien cents a gtdss!" Does any one think
That that is really the price OF a drink?

Is the use of Alcohol u Protection
Against GOIdy

In the narrative ofthe Greeley expedition
to the Arctic regions, frequent mention is
made of the fact that brandy was pretty
freely given to the men when they became
exhausted and bcnumbcd with cold. as a
restorative. The value of alcohol as pro-
lection against severe cold may be judged
by comparing the condition of the brandy
drinkers with that of the total abstainers
on that expedition.
1t seems that many of the brandy drink
ers either froze to death or had their hands
and feet frozen oft, while Sergeant Brain
ard, teetotaler, returned safe and sound
and is spoken of in the papers as being the
most robust and best preserved man of the
party.

halls. The whiskey people themselves
made it a question for legal enactments
years ago and had it palisaded around
by laws.
The traffic being already thus in the laws
and sustained and sanctioned by law, can e
only be overthrown by law. For unless
the legislation which legalizes and protects
it as a legitimate business be set aside by
legislation, it will continue to be legalized
business and continue to be followed under
the protection of law. The moral suasion
we believe in is to sway the opinions and
votes of men by pointing out to them the
moral ''cussedness'' of Framing iniquity
by law" and thus persuade them to 50
cast their votes as to overthrow this oil
garchy unrighteously constituted and pro-
tected by law and return to the people
their right which has been legislated away

AS the case now stands, e LATEST
class of men in the country make
money faster than any other class in
it. They sit around in shady places,
producing nothing that adds to the
wealth of the country, and yet accumul-
ate wealth faster than any other class.
They get it by draining money out of the
community in which they locate, generally
out of the poorest families, in return for
which they give neither flour, nor meat,
nor sugar, nor groceries of any kind, nor
clothing; but, by absorbing their money,
deprive them of the means of buying these
articles and reduce them to poverty, hun
ger and nakedness. And, oh! how they
ycarn to be let alone! 1t will be glorious
day for this country when. under the blows
of justice and morality this palisading of
legal enactments in which these men are
protected and made rich off of the wretehed-
ness of the communities they impoverish,
shall be knocked down, and they be made
to seek their living by industry, in an hon

the people who are opposed to mixing up
politics with religion, two things may be
said namely: First. their politics are so
bad they wont mix with religion; second,
they have no religion to mix with their
politics. A man who has any religion at
all will mix it with his politics and every
thing else. J. G. CRATE.
