they don't agree with me any more
I'm goin' to swear off for good" His
voice was husky to the last degree,
and he placed a hand on his chest,
full of strange ratings and wheez-
ing, from which it family proceeded.
"There don't seem to be nobody
here to take much notice of me, he
continued, gazing around in wander
ing way. 1--WE got 'em to telegraph
to the old lady. good while ago; [
must ha' been here some time. It's a
seven or eight days journey, but once
she'd ha' come if it was hundred.
I've played it on her too often; she
don't believe me any more. don't
blame her, pard, do you?"
He turned his face towards the
wall.
A sudden furry Of movement made
itself felt. rustic of feminine skirts.
There by his bedside stood spare,
comely old lady, who had been plloted
thither by the garrulous urchin frisk-
ing about the yard. She was a lady,
refined in every lineament; she had
white hair, was dressed in dark slken
attire, and her features were crossed
with an expression. of woful pain.
The sight would have moved heart
of stone. 1.-The old lady had come
to her Benjamin, her youngest-born,
who had been a loveable child in her
arms, before all this nightmare of his
evil years-for whom she had had
ambitions, had prayed, suffered, sacri-
feed herself, and she found him
thus. He looked up, with gasp, as
if her presence were something in
credible.
She threw herself upon him pas
sionately, and embraced and kissed
him as if he were again little child.
Il didn't have the will-power," he
murmured, feebly.
Mother! motherr' he cried again,
presently, IF ! was to Hre! oh, if |

And with the greatness of this as
piration, that it should yet be posi-
BILE for him to show her the measure
of his gratitude for all her love and
forbearance, the spirit of the brown
stone boy, so strangely emasculated,
so deprived of the grain Of fortitude
and elevation Of soul that might have
stifiened it into self-control and ascen-
dency over fortune,-this poorly reg
ulated spirit took its flight.
The brown-stone boy had added an
other to his many experiences-the
great experience of sounding eternity

The Prohibition party Of Ohio has
been voting for God and Home and
Native Land, for sixteen years, and in
all that time it has never nominated a
man for office who even expected to be
elected. What this party may have
done for God, we have no means of
knowing, but we do know that it has
done nothing for Ohio, except to give
it a whisky Governor. whisky Legis-
lature, and whisky Supreme Court
What will party which has done
this much for prohibition in sixteen
years be able to accomplish in thirty
two years? Will some ingenious ST.
Johnite figure this out for us?-Na-
tional american.

Against these the sleeper is less pro-
tected than in the daytime. He has
divested himself Of his wooden exter-
nal clothing to put on cotton or linen
and lies between sheets Of the same
material, between which, at the tops
and sides of the bed, the air gains
ready access to his unprotected sur
face. lie he is restless, he renders such
access yet more easy.
A greater risk awaits him. A sud-
den fall in temperature at night is no
unusual occurrence. In summer a
thunder gust, in winter shift Of
the wind to the north, often reduces
the temperature ten to twenty de-
grees. The sleeper is unaware Of this.
He remains exposed to it with no fur
ther protection than he found agreea-
bic at the higher temperature until he
awakes chilled and stiff, perhaps with
the seeds Of serious illness already

These are such positive and una
voidable risks that we should counsel
