There arc today, in American society, two types of men who should not live very long-the funny fellow and the mel ancholy gentleman. The funny fellow the fool who delights in wearing girls hat when he goes to a picnlc-has been "written up" time and again, but no writer has paid sufficient attention to the melancholy gentleman. This type of man really sees no trouble. He has no notes in bank, but he stands around and looks as though sin.cursed world had thrown all its responsibilities on his shoulders. He draws down the corAers of his mosth aud s;shs through first one nosss;l and then the other. He wants somebody to say that he is profound thinker, that his is a deep nature. He never laughs but he sometimes makes a pretense of smiling. What a smile Yellow leaves and prairie hay. He is a critic; yes, profound critic. He speaks of numerous heavy books he has read, but he is better acquainted with the titles than with the content. The melancholy gentleman wants sympathy. Oh, how he would like for some one to pour barrel of sympathy all over him.

A DOUBLE MORAL.

It is true tn at much human misery results from lack of economy" said man whose face wore the marks of mid night thought, "but once knew a man who now owes his happiness to riotous living. The story is a sad one. There were two brothers, John and Hank Ball finch. They were twins. They were graduated with credit and with equal showing they went out into the world. They had no money, but they managed to get into business. John was careful and economical; Hank was prodigal and reckless. IfJohn could not save one dol- lar per day, he saved fifty cents. If Hank could not spend one dollar per day it was because he hadn't that amount. A, the end of their first two years in business the difference between the brothers was very great. John had money; Hank had nothing. John owned a fine horse and buggy, but Hank was compelled to walk. He did not complain, bu. it was with a sad smile that he would step from the middle of the road, little children, step from the middle of the road to keep from being run over by his brother. One night while John was driving around town, his horse became frightened, ran away and smashed the buggy. Just as John was striking the ground, Hank was beating his way into minstrel show. John was killed. Statistics proved that he did not even kick after he struck the face ofthe earth. The dead mans prop erty was willed to charitable institu- ton"
 "Say," some one remarked" ain't you drifting from the point of the storyT
 "Oh, mo-"
 But you said that you once knew a man who owes his happiness to riotous living"
 "Yes, it is fact. Yos see that Hank, had he been able to buy horse-had be saved up enough money and bought one would doubtless have been killed, and in fact, Hank was trying at one time to buy the horse that killed John. Hank is still living and is enjoying himself, thoagh he is afraid to save money. think that the careful, economical man has been praised too much. We ought to give the spendthrift chance"
 "I think" said member of the com pany, "thas the moral of your story is de- stroyed by one fact"
 What's thatr'
 We'll, you see, if John had been more economical he wouljnt have bought the fine horse."
 By George, I believe you're right. Well, sir, thought had that thing fixed up all right. Thought was going to give economy black eye. was going to be more reckless, but don | believe will. Was going to order the drinks, but you have taught me that it is better to ecouomize."
 When the man who had told the story got up and Left the room, the old fellow known as @tough "-who had changed the moral, looked at a companion and said:
 Blamed if he didn't bsat us after all.

Two Scenes.

4 gentleman took his son to q drunken
row in a tavern, where the inmates were
fighting and swearing, and said he. "Do
you know what has lone all this p
mo. sir"
His father, pointing to the decanters
sparkling with run, said, That's the
cause: will you take a drink p
The boy started back with horror and
exclaimed "No."
Then lie took his child to the cage of a
man with delirium tremens. The boy
gazed on him a~ffrighted as the drunkard
raved and tore, and thinking that the
demons were after him, cried, Leave me
alone. leave me alonei | see EN-; they're
coming
'Do you know the cause of this, my
boy?:"
mo, SIR
This is caused by drink; will You have
some ?"
And he shrank with a shudder as he
refused the cup.
Next day they called at the miserable
hovel of a drunkard, where was squalid
poverty, and the drunken father beating
his wife and with oaths, knocking down
his children.
"What has caused this?" said the
father.
The son was silent. When told it was
rum, lie declared he could never touch
a drop in his life. But suppose that lad
was invited to a wedding feast, where
with fruit and cake the wine cup is passed,
amid scenes of cheerlulness and gaiety
where all friends are respectable, beloved
and kind to each other, and he should be
asked to drink. would he ~ref:se9 Or,
suppose him out walking with his father
on New Years day to call upon his young
lady friends or to enjoy the festiyity of
the ushering in of the new year. With
other things, wine is handed to him by a
smiling girl. His noble hearted father,
whom he loves, presses the wine glass to
his lips, and compliments the young ladies
upon the excellence of its quality: what
wonder if the son follow his example.

Beer.Drinking a Destroying Curse.

The evil is growing fearfully in our land,
and Germany is constantly reinforcing it.
Strange as it may seem. there are still null
titudes of defenders who protest that beer
is not only harmless, but a great blessing!
Only one whose brain is muddled with the
drink, or his pocket or politics interested
in it, could be capable of such folly. 1t
will be good to repeat often the startling
testimony upon this subject given by Col
onel Green. President of the Cincinnati
Mutual Life Insurance Company. He
says: Il protest against the notion SO pre-
valent and so industriously urged that beer
is a desirable substitute for the more con-
centrated liquors. What beer may be.
and what it may do in other countries and
climates. | do not know from observation.
That in this country and climate its use is
an evil only less than the use of whisky, if
less on the whole. and its effect is only de-
layed, not so Immediately and obviously
bad, its incidents not so repulsive. but de-
~structiye in the end, | have seen abundant
proof. In one of IL largest cities. con-
tanning a large population of beer-drinkers,
| had occasion to note the deaths among a
large group of persons whose habits. in
their own eyes and in those of their friends
and physicians were temperate; but they
We're habituai users of beer. When the
observation began, they were, upon the
average, something under middle age, and
they were. of course, selected lives. For
two or three years there was nothing very
remarkable to be noted among this group
Presently death began to strike it: and
until it dwindled to a fraction of its
original proportions. the mortality in it
was astounding in extent, and still more
remarkable in the manifest identity of
cause and mode. There was no installing
it; the history was almost invariable:
robust, apparent health, full muscles, a
fair outside, increasing weight, fiorid faces;
then a touch Of cold, or a sniff of malaria.
almost inyariable typhoid symptoms, was
in violent action, and ten days or so ended
it. 1t was as if the system had been kept
fair outside while within it was eaten to a
shell; and at the first touch of disease there
was utter collapse: every fibre was poison
ed and weak. And this in its main fea-
lures, varying of course in degree, has
been my observation of beer-drinking
everywhere. 1t is peculiarly deceptive at
first; it Is thoroughly destructive at last"
