Temperance Items.

THEY who abstain from strong drinks
of all kinds are not only amongst the
most industrious and useful, but are
also amongst the healthiest and the
happiest OF mankind. DR. Richardson.
SOME of the best artillery work done
in the Temperance warfare has been by
Canon Farrar, of Westminster Abbey.
He quotes the distinguished statesman,
Golden. as saving that the Temperance
reform is at the foundation of all re-
forms.

Minority Report on the DanvilIe Riots.

WASHINGTON, June 1O.-The minority
report Of the Senate Committee on the
Danville riots says that decent re-
spect for the opinions Of mankind
should have impelled the Republicans to
conduct the investigation with fairness and
to have set forth its results with judicial
impartiality. While the Senator from Ohio
was investigating the riot in Dan
vile, and holding up his hands in
horror at the shooting of four negroes,
the report says bloodshed, murder
and arson were running riot in his own city
Cincinnati. More than fifty persons were
killed, twice that number wounded, and
$1,000,000 worth of property destroyed.
The minority ask how it would be if COM
mitteeS were appointed to investigate the
"killing of negroes in Ohio for the sale Of
their carcasses to medical colleges" and
ito report upon the state of trade
in that branch of American indus
try, and whether it is likely TO interfere
with the pork-packing business of the city
of Cincinnati" The report charges the
majority with making partisan threat Of
depriving the people of Mississippi of rep
resentation in case they do not vote for the
Republican candidates, and of shifting the
expense Of printing the campaign document
from the pockets of the Republican Nation
al Committee onto the public Treasury.

Temperance Reading i.
CHARLIE s STORY OF THE FAN
ny EDGE

CHARLES STORY OF THE FAM
lily PLEDGE.
The family pledge hung on the wall,
And on it you could see
The names of mamma, Mary Jane,
And Cnarhe-that is me.
We didn't dare to ask papa
To write upon ii, too,
So left space for him to fill;
Twas all we dared to do.
He saw the pledge as soon as he
Came in the door that night;
And when we saw him reading it
1t put us in fright.
He didn't say word to us
About the pledge at all,
But oft saw him look at 1t
While hanging on the wall.
And every night when he came home,
He stopped and read it through:
We all kept still about those words,
Although we knew them true.
Four weeks had passed. and then one night
When pa came home to tea,
He took the pledge down from its nail,
And then he turned TO me:
go get the pen and ink, my boy,
And let me I'LL that space,
1t looks so bare he slowly said,
A queer look on his face.
And then mamma sat down and cried,
(She said it was for joy,
And Mary Jane she cried some, too,
/ didn't-Tm boy.
But papa says he did not drink
Since that first night when we
Had hung that pledge upon the wall
Where he our names could see.
And ever since that space was filed
Mamma said just tonight,
Though dark may be our little room,
Our corner now is light.

The disease is often developed after
the person had for some time aban-l
doned excessive indulgence-a points
having been reached in which the ex-l
creting organs had exhausted their
power to eliminate the poison from the
system, and as a consequence, the de-
sire for the liquor had largely ceased.
The symptoms of the approaching
consumption are pains in the side; then
real pleurisy; after that, difficulty of
filling the chest with air, the lungs
having grown to the side; and at
length, hemorrhage of the lungs, the
walls of the engorged blood-vessels
giving way. The result is often fatal.

4 very ssIf.wIllea Horse.

- There is IN old nursery rhyme which
ooaches that kindness and patience are
the best methods to pursue In the case
iof donkey that wouldn't CO." An
English gentleman relates that he had q
horse that ''wouldn't CO." but when he
came to try the patience remedy he
found that the horse had q larger sup
ply of that virtue than he himself pos.
sossed. which, as win presently be seen,
was considerable.
The English gentleman's horse was .
confirmed ''balker." One Saturday af.
ternoon, when he was returning home
In his dog-cart, the horse baked, as 1t
had often done before, and its master
thought that this time he would try
what calmness and patience would
do. Accordingly he sat still in the
dog-cart, and addressed the animal in
soothing tones and kindly words; but
TO no purpose. 1t was exactly ten min
utes past four on Saturday afternoon
when the horse stopped in the middle
of the road.
The afternoon wore away, the sun
sank below the horizon, darkness set
tied down over the landscape, and yet
the man and horse remained to fight
out the battle between obstinacy and
patience. Through the long night they
staid there, the whip remaining quietly
In the socket, and when the sun arose
after his voyage around the world he
found the contest still going on.
At six o'clock In the morning the
owner babe his groom fetch q cart-rope
and tie 1t to the horses fore-leg; but
when the groom did so, and pulled with
all his might, the only result was that
the horse stood with his fore-leg stuck
out IS II It were q bronze statue. At
seven o'clock the horse became perfect
~ furious, Selling the shaft with his
teeth, and shaking 1t, kicking and
stamping with rage the while. At half
past seven the groom tried to tempt
him with o measure of oats, but the
angry beast would have none of it, not
withstanding that It was twenty hours
since he had had mouthful of food or
Q drop of water.
Then his master had to confess him
self beaten in the trial of patience, and
having procured some tough shoots of
ground-ash, he applied them to Mr..
Horses back so vigorously that that
selfwilled quadruped was obliged to con-
Tess himself beaten so far as his hide
was concerned. 1t was then twenty |
mi; minutes ties before eight on Sunday morn
hours and half during which the
horse did not bulge an inch. nor his
owner stir from his seat in the carriage.
This is probably the most remarkable
exhibition of obstinacy on the one side
and OF patience on the other that was
ever known, and the story as told here
Is exactly true.-Harper's Young Peo-
pie.
