Men give so much sometimes for
their indulgences, they have moth.
ing for the cause of God and reli.
gion. Twenty-Five million dollars
expended in this country year for
religious purposes; but what are
twenty-five millions expended for
religion compared with the ninety
five millions expended on cigars
and tobacco and the one thousand
five hundred millions of dollars
spent Tor rum, accursed RUM So
man who had fortune of seven
hundred and fifty thousand, or what
amounts to that,in London, spent it
all in indulgences, chiefly in glut-
tonies, and sent hither and yon for
all the delicacies, and often had a
meal that would cost one OF two
hundred dollars for himself. Then
he was reduced to one guinea, with
which he bought rare bird, had it
cooked in best style, ate it, took
two hours for digestion, walked out
on Westminster bridge and jumped
into the Thames. On a large scale

scale. Let US take our stand against
the extravagances of society. Do
not pay for things which are frivo-
lous when you may lack the neces-
sities. Do not put one months
wages or salary into trinket, just
one trinket. Keep your credit good
by seldom asking for any. Pay I!
Do not starve a whole year to af
ford one Belshazzar's carnival. Do
not buy coat of many colors and
then in six months be out at the ell
bows. Flourish not as some people
have known who took apartments
at fashionable hotel and had ele-
CANT drawing-rooms attached, and
then vanished in the night, not
even leaving their compliments for
the landlord. In the day of Gods
judgment we will not only have to
give an account for the way In
which we made our money, but for
the way we spent it. We have got
leave all the things that sur
round US now. Alas if any of
you in the dying hour feel like the
dying actress who asked that the
casket of jewels be brought to her,
and then turned them over with her
pale hand, and said: "Alasl that
[ have to leave you so soon.' Bet
ter in that hour have one treasure
in heaven than the bridal trousseau
of Marie Antoinette, or to have
been seated with Ciligula at ban
quet which costs its thousands of
dollars, or to have been carried to
our last resting place with senators
and princes as pall-bearers. They

for announcing that the name of
the wicked shall rot.-Dr. Talmage.

while making it.
Some fellows take naturally to
popping, and are going of all the
time. To others it is painful and
laborious proceeding, only to be at
tempted once in a lifetime and then
only as small a pop as they can
possibly get away with.
When a fellows pop is aceepta-
BILE to a girl, it instantly involves a
kiss. When it is not acceptable,
kissing is not involved.
When a fellow pops he always
pops at his best girl. No fellow
ever pops at his second or third
best girl. There is no exception to
this rule.
Popping is a very ancient and
honorable institution, and the girls
like it. A girl who has never heard
a pop never confesses as much. She
invents a pop, so that the other
girls cannot get the dead wood on
her. We believe in popping.

The young Lady and the Twins

Chicago Herald: A young lady
was wheeling her married sisters
twin children along the street, and
close observer could have noticed
her halt for second, appear embar-
rassed, while crimson flush mount
ed her cheeks. She saw, coming
up the street, her old beau, whom
she had not seen for two years, as
he had been away. OF course the
fellow naturally supposed his sweet
heart had been married during his
absence, so he began grinning as be
drew near, tipped his hat and pass
ed on, congratulating himself on the
fate he had escaped. 1t is useless
to attempt to describe the feelings
of the young lady.

Pennsylvania who was the chairman OF the
committee on resolutions of the Democratic
national convention during the whole deabera-
ton, and now here, states that Henry Watterson
in his Louisville speech last night reported by the

Hay TO strike out the word exclusively from

1t was, at the time the motion was made. ex-
pressy stated that all agreed to the truth of the
constitutional doctrine, and that federal taxation
should be exclusively for public purposes and
that the motion was made solely to avoid any
possible injury to the party from misunderstand-
ing or misuse of the particular word, that it was
unnecessary to full and complete statement of
truth and the sentence in which it occurred,
and its retention Could therefore only be harm
ful as unnecessary words in platform usually
