Hoarseley demanding '9Gin1e drink"
And he handled his glass with the air O.
one
Who has often before 'been thar"
And terrible glance shot ozt Of his eyes
And over his hearers ran,
AS he nuttered, "rn hangin' around thc
town
For to bust that temperance man"
"pvs heard he's a comm with siDgin' arc
sich
And prayin' and heaps Of talk;
And allows he'll make all fellers wha
drink
Toe square the temp'rance chalk,
| reckon"-and here he pulled out knit
That was two feet long or more,
And he handled his pistols fsmiliarly,
While the crowd made a break for thu
door.
The good man came, and his voice wa
kind,
And his ways were weak and mild;
'But I'm to bust him" the roarer .sid,
"Jess wait till he gets me rilled."
When he plsyfully felt of his pistol belt
And took up his place on the stage,
And waited in wrath for the temperance
man
To further excite his rage.
But the orator didn't; he wasn't that sort
For he talked right straight to the heart
And somehow or other the roarer felt
The trembling tear drops start,
And he thought OF the wife who loved him
we'll,
And the children that climbed his knee
And he said, as the terrible picture was
drawn,
"He's got it kerrect-thata me :"
Then his thoughts went back 20 the years
gone by,
When mis- mother had kissed his brow,
"A she tearfully told Of the evils Of drink,
And he made her a SOLEMN vow,
Thas ne never should touch the poison Gus
cup
Which had ruined so many before;
Aud the tears fell fast as he slowly said :
"He's ketckin' me more and more ~
He loosened his hold on his pistols and
knife,
And covered his streaming eyes,
And though it was homely, his prayer
went up
Straight up to the starlit skies.
Then lac signed his name to the temper
auce pledge,
And holding it high, said he,
81 came here to bust tina, Temperance chap,
But | reckon he busted me-"

THE very sad case of General Grant
furnishes another striking object-lesson
illustrating the danger involved in the
immoderate use of tobacco. A man of
powerful physique, of indomitable will,
the hero of many battles, he must needs
himself at last surrender to the subtle
poison of the cigar. In his suffering he
has, and abundantly deserves, the sim
cere and heartfelt sympathy of the
nation. As the great military chieftain,
and AS President of the United States
for eight years, his features familiar to
every citizen as delineated upon the
printed page and the political banner
multiplied by many millions, and SO
often with the alluring cigar in mouth
or hand, no one in ancient or modern
times has done as much as he, by influ-
entail example, to popularize the smok-
ing habit May its extremely sad out
come with himself ut least serve as an
effective warning to the millions OF
thoughtIess and persistent smokers who
are thereby inviting for themselves inev
itably grave physical injury if not kin
dred cancerous suffering and premature
| death.-National Temperance Advocate

The man who does not try to save his
fellows from wrong and ruin will be

Rum and The Morgue.

By far the strongest temperance lee
ture of the season is the statement OF the
keeper of the New York morgue, that
four. fifths of the five thousand bodies
that reach the city dead house every
wear are sent there by drunkenness. The
iollv fellows who make fun of the anti
liquor agitation, as they stand at bars
and drink good old whisky-for oi
course no other kind is sold-know only
the beginning of what rum can do
but the rough pine boxes filled with
what was once bright-eyed humanity
are lust as directly the work of drinh
as bar-room fun is. There may be cities
in the world where men can drink
spirits without injury to body or Drain
but New York is not one of them. IL
A city where everybody, from the mil
Iionaire to the day laborer, is being
continually impelled to begin more worl
than he can finish, whatever Increase
physical or mental excitement is posi-
tive curse. The morgue's occupants
do not all come from the lower classes
who drink bad rum; scions of honorable
stock have been found there too often
for alcohol is as merciless leyeler a
death itself.-N. Y. Herald.

The Aid of Whisky.

An atrocious crime was committed
in which an unfortunate man by the
name of Shaes was burnt to death. a
young man not twenty years OF age
was implicated in the crime, and he was
asked how it was possible that he could
commit such crime. He answered
"By the aid of whisky | could commit
twenty others like it.
A story is told of shrewd Scotchwo-
man who tried to wean her husband
from the dram-shop by employing her
brother to act the part of ghost and
frighten John on his way home. Who
are you?" said the guidman, as the ap-
partition rose before him from behind a
bush. II am auld Nick was the reply.
"Come AVA, man." said John, nothing
daunted. ''Gie's shake o your hand.
am married tae sister O yours"
Whisky is good in its own place.
There isnothing like whisky in the world
for preserving man when he is dead,
but it is one OF the worst things in the
world for preserving Il man when he is
living. If you want to keep a dead
man, put him in whisky; if you want
to kill living man, put whisky into
him.-Dr. Guthrie.
