Suggested by the death of Maud, daughter Of
w. G. and Clara w. Russell.
Dear Maud is gone, no more wee'll see
Her once sweet smiling face;
We miss her in the family,
We miss her every place.
The busy prattle of her tongue
Deaths icy hand hath stilled
II now has joined the blood washed throng
Where songs of love are triiled.
The patter of her little feet
BY us no more is heard;
They're walking now the golden street
Before the throne Of God.
Rut while for her who weeps no more,
Our hearts with grief are wrung,
Well look beyond this baneful shore
To God, whose will be done.
And may wa live that when we'rc free
From this lifss piercing blasts,
Hs'u soar to realms Of endless day
To Join our loved at last.

The universal testimony of physicians
is that beer acts upon the human sys-
tenn something like mildew on grape,
rust in wheat, blight on corn or rot
among sheep. That is, it is persist
ent, insidious sapping away of the vi
tai powers, a corrosion and decay of the
organs, until the life force is so weak
ened that death ensues from the most
trivial causes.
1t makes the body like those wooden
buildings whose timbers molder away
at the heart until there is nothing but
paper-like shells to represent what were
once strong beams, and some day lit
tie puff of wind sends the whole thing
down in mass of dust.
The man who drinks beer drags him
self nearer to the grave by every glass
full. 1t is not necessary that he should
daily fill himself, like q sponge, with
the cankering fluid in order that
it should manifest its awful effects. II
is all question of degree. If he
drinks but little it will take longer to
produce its baleful effects than if he
drank more. He may swill so much
that erysipelas, rheumatism, pneumo.
MIA, fever or brain troubles will carry
him off at twenty-five, or he may be Sc
moderate" that he may escape the
beer-drinkers' rot until forty-fve. But
between these two he is pretty likely to
90 off.
The end is certain. Rotting has its
laws, as interchangeable as any other nat.
ural process. The dominant one is
that rotting once begun, it must run its
course. We see it in woods, meats,
and SO on. The setting in of decay
may be prevented, but when it once be-
gins it is doubtful if the most powerful
anti-septics known to science can cure
or even check it. So when the body
begins rotting under the putrefying in.

more or less swiftly according to the
amount of the putrefactive beverage

4 "LABOR or LOVE-"

iSpeaking of grand display of wines and
orandies at the San Jose Fair, Il re porter states
that the manufacturer "seems TO take just
pride in this, his labor of loye."l
A Labor of lover" All, well. tits true
In taste to differ is mortals fate;
But were l called to name such work,
A labor, I'd style it, of hate.
Hate for the veal of our common law,
Hate for all that is good and pure;
Oh, little of love for God or man
Dictated such work, l am sure.
Takes pride in this, his labor of love?
Ills strange such Il thing should be true
That man can feel proud of any work
Which the devils rejoice in, tool
Can make boast of the fearful skill
To prepare the enticing draught,
Which ever has ruined, body and soul,
All those who its poison have quaffedl
A labor of love?" How friends must laugh
To hear it misnomered so,
For the sole result such work can bring
Is misery, poverty. tears and woe.
The mothers and fathers broken hearts,
The ruined homes and wives despair,
The dying curse of the wine-cups slave,
"A hideous lie that name declare.
A "labor of lover" Oh, thoughtless scribe,
Recall that false and foolish namel
Look out on the world see wines sad work
Then drop thy head in deepest shame
That thy pen eould.stoop so low to praise,
In a human being, the wretched pride
OF skill that makes this earth n hell,
And scatters ruin far and wide.

beautiful cheeks, father, shall drink

The form of the old Judge was con-
vulsed with agony. He ERASED his head,
but in a smothered voice he faltered:

She lifted the glittering goblet, and
letting it suddenly fall to the floor it
was dashed into a thousand pieces.
Many fearful eye watched her move

His glistening eyes, his sad, sweet
smile was her answer.
The Judge left the room, and when
an hour later he returned, and with a
more subdued manner, took part in the
entertainment of the bridal guests, no
one could fail to read that he, too, had
determined to dash the enemy for once
and forever from his princely rooms.

The COlners,

The Colners are lively, hard-work-
ing, though pleasure loving, very fond
of money, much attached to their city,
and always giving fellow-townsmen, no
matter where they meet them, prefer
ence over strangers, for whom they ex-
press much dislike. They are very
narrow-minded, of which there is no
better proof than the contempt with
which the common people speak of all
living in the country as barren, or
peasant, as if citizenship exalted them
to far higher level. At first, in my
ignorance, | thought actual peasants
were meant, but found later that what
we should call gentlemen-farmers were
included in the sheer. In addition they
are scandal a vice unfortunate
ly peculiar to them. A new dress attracts
an amount of attention more tlattering
than agreeable; neighbors know the
limits of each others wardrobes and
censure the extravaganza that prompts
its frequent replenishing. Food is very
plain, not to say poor, and is among
all classes inferior to that of CORE
spending rank The cooking is rot
bad, though unsuitable to English
tastes, and the odor of rape-oil, which
the economical use for culinary pur-
poses, creates stencil almost unbear-
able in the streets and past description

or sign this document, " which she drew
from her bosom and held up before his
face ''.
Tarleton trembled, was as pale as
corpse, and turning to the young officer,
who stood near by intently watching the
scene, he said, Captain, where is this
woman's husband?"
He answered. Under guard in yon-
der tent"
"Order him to be brought here. "
And soon Charles Mackey stood before
the valiant Tarletoa Sir said he,
''you have been convicted of bearing
arms against his Majesty's Govern
ment. Worse-you have been con-
victed of being a spy; you have dared
TO enter my lines in disguise as a spy
and you cannot deny it. But, for the
sake of your wife will give you full
pardon on condition that you win take
an oath never again to bear arms against
the Kings government"
'.Sir, said Charles Mackey, in the
firmest tones, 81 cannot accept pardon
on those terms. 1t must be uncon-
ditional, or must die. -
And poor lydia Mackey cried out,
"And / too must die" and on her
knees, holding on to Colonel Tarleton,
she pleaded with such fervor and elo-
quence that Tarleton seemed for mo-
ment to hesitate, and then, turning to
the young captain, he said, with CULVER
| ing lips, and in voice choked with
emotion, Captain, for Gods sake, sign
my name to this paper, and let this
woman 60"
With this, Lydia Mackey sank to the
ground exhausted, and Colonel
Tarleton mounted his charger and
galloped off, doubtless happier for
having spared the life of the heroic
Lydia Mackey's husband
Lydia Mackey in her old age was
a fine talker, and when l was a boy ten
years old l heard her tell this story
with such feeling and earnestness that
great tears rolled down her aged
cheeks to mingle with those of her little
grandchildren gathered around her
knees.
The name of Tarleton was execrated
in South Carolina till very late peri
Cd. But the Lydia Mackey episode
shows that he had a heart not wholly
steeled against the nobler feelings of
humanity.
The history of our Revolutionary
war can hardly present a more interest
ing tableau than that of Lydia Mackey
begging the life of her husband at the
hands of the brave and bloody Tarle-
ton. 1t is altogether probable that the
Lydia Mackey victory was the first
ever gained over this redoubtable COM
mander. -Horper'S WeekLg.

Avoid Evil Speaking.

While we are making good resolu-
tons for the new year let us determine
to avoid SANDER, and not to say any
thing behind PERSONS back that we
would not repeat to his face. If all
would maintain this position, what an
advantage society would gain. With
no evil speaking, no detracting from
the fair name of neighbor, no attrib-
uting of unworthy intentions to worthy
deeds, heaven would truly have begun
on earth.
We are all far from doing exactly as
we should; therefore it is not for us to
demand perfect lives from our friends.
If we cannot speak well of our neigh
bors, let us not speak of them at all.
Never mention their evil deeds, their
want of courtesy, or their acts of Ill
will, but let them alone, When friends
come to tell us of what is said about us,
let us reply: at would be favor to me
not to repeat what is said concerning
myself or my household by my neigh
bOrs or friends"
The best avenue to happiness is to
make others happy, and often a cross,
grabbed neighbor may be won into
kindness by kind deeds frequently re-
peated.
A case in point has just occurred to
me: A neighbor has lived beside us for
twenty years, and has passed us by for
many year without the least sign of
recognition. None of the household
could tell the cause. The family had
been well-to-do, but were reduced in
circumstances; yet would receive no
aid, and when it had once been sent in
it was quickly returned. Years passed
by and illness came to them, and little
dainties were then offered and re-
ceived and kindly inquiries made, and,
after a few more years had passed, the
ice melted, for the kindly deeds of
years had done their work. And now
an exchange of visits is made, and
lately quite an Offering was sent in to
those to whom the man had so long re-
fused to speak. 1t is q great luxury to
be able TO do good to others; to make
them happier, and every day that passes
by without some kind words being
spoken, some kind deed done, is lost
This habit of controlling ones words
is most desirable, and children should
be taught it early in life. Many bitter
"reminiscences will thus be avoided by
them as they grow old, for many a
harvest of evil has been reaped from
thoughtless words of SANDER, which,
even if they were true, had better not
have been spoken. Cor. Country GEN
