Cursed by Strong Drink.

A pitiable case of neglect and conse-
quent destitution came to the notice of
Officer Dudley. of the Humane Society.
James Hyland is a shoemaker living at
No. 359 South Jefferson street, who of
late has thrown away his last and con-
fined his attention to the bottle. Mrs.
Hyland was sent to the County Hospital
several days ago, seriously i'll from neg
lect and half starved besides. Hyland
has been drunk. ever since that time,
and has left his three children, the eld-
est eleven and the youngest five years
of age, to amuSe themselves as best
they might, but there was nothing
in the house TO eat. Saturday she child
rem were driven by hunger to seek q
crust of bread at a neighbor' S, where a
few questions drew out the story of the
family misery. Mrs. Hylands brother,
Philip Waters, who has for some time
cared for another of his sisters child
ren, boy. was informed of the state of
affairs. He communicated with Officer
Dudley, and by mis- advice procured the
warrant for Hyslnd's arrest. On visit
ing No. $50 with the writ Constable
Williams found the three children Oc-
cupying the basement, a miserable
place. damp and unwholesome. There
was some fire, but the ceiling was only
little over four feet high, and the con-
stable was compelled to enter the place
almost bent double. Hyland, a shat
tered wreck of manhood, was found
lying in a corner stupefied with the liq-
uor he had been drinking. The place
was wretchedly furnished and there was
not particle of food or provisions to
be found there. The slave of drink and
the children were taken before Justice
Russell. who, after listening to the sad
story, sent the besotted parent to the
Bridewell on a fine of $50, and the
children to the Home for the Friendless.
Hyland himself admitted the justice OF
the sentence, and said that it would
either make man of him or drive him
the sooner to destruction. Mrs. Hyland
is still very i'll in the County Hospital.

sewers arc allowed to choke up, II the
ashpits are not cleansed, il the CHM
neys are not swept, if the water supply
| is fouled. If the depots are not replen-
ished, there is discomfort and suffering,
want, disorder and disease. The teem-
ing population of a great city requires
that the sanitary arrangements shall be
kept in order, the roads open, and the
food supply satisfactory. if business is to
prosper, and sickness be kept at low
point. 1t is precisely the same in q
single individual. No man can live for
a single minute without producing ex-
creta, which, if it be not removed, will
choke up his natural sewers, foul his
blood-stream, diminish the draught in
his furnace of life, and interfere more
or less with the activity of every func-
ton and every faculty which he pos
sesses. 1t is possible that the minute
particles which make up the sum of ex-
cretory product may be some
times dried up, so to. speak, and
form very microscopical points
living dormant for years: out when
some change takes places, some micro
cosm is introduced which lives upon
these dormant particles, they spring
into activity, and it is discovered but
too late that the whole structure is per-
meated with condition like to that
which sometimes we see in an apparent
" noble forest tree which is suddenly
prostrated in mode rate gale of wind,
but which reveals to us tine fact that its
trunk is rotten to the core. The way
in which alcohol shows its influence is
by diminishing some of the actions
which are necessary.for the perfection
of health. 1t tends to keep excreta
within the precincts of the body. in
stead of washing them away, just as
our forefathers Kept them in cesspools
close to their dwelling houses. There
is not a point in its daily use which can
in any single way obviate the mischief
which it produces by its pathological
action, unless it be to counteract some
diseased state, when its services may
be legitimately employed. just as
dose of castor oil may be beneficial
when administered at the proper time,
but if one persists in taking castor oil
every day fer the rest of ones life, it
stands to reason that Nature will resent
the action, and some day refuse to ac-
cept the dose. There will be natural
disgust for the remedy, or some action
will be set up which will bring about a
change of custom. Not so, unfort-
unately, with alcohol; it seldom excites
disgust for its renewal, but on the
contrary produces want for more.
which can only end in decay and ulti-
mate dissolution. To those who think
they feel the better for its use, | say
earnestly: Be warned in time, for it will
shorten your days on earth and diminish
your capacity to enjoy the world, or
benefit your fellow-creatures.- DR.. At'

a boys first position in a commercial

his duties are plain, his place is insig-

expected to familiarize himself with the
business, and as he becomes more in
tellieent in regard to il be IS advanced
TO a more responsible place. His first
duty, then, is to work. He must cult
vate day BY day habits of fidelity, ac-
curacy, neatness and dispatch, aud
these qualities viii tell in his favor as
surely as the world reyolves. Though
he may work unnoticed and uncom-
