Temptation and its Sources.

The more endowed man is, the
more liable to evil he is. This is
really the answer to the foolish
question sometimes put: Could not
God have made evil impossible?
Could he not have made man incapas
Bile OF sin file could have made evil
impossible, bat he could not have
made man incapable of evil. A
thing he might: evil is not possible
to star or vegetable. A brute he
might: sin is not possible to horse
or dog. But mani Why, the
very quality that makes him q man is
power to sin-freedom of moral ac-
tion, freedom OF will. II | have no
freedom ! can do neither good nor
evil. There are .imid, tcpid peo-
pie, without much of soul or strength.
They never do wrong, but they new
er do right, in any great heroic way.
1t is negative kind of goodness,
very harmless and very blameless.
They serve God without reproach,
and feel love to him as much as their
little souls can be kindled to. But
there is not much virtue, much he
roism in it. Ii a man has no strong
desires he conDot he tempted; but
he cannot therefore claim any praise.
He is pulseless, passionless, safe but
cold and ignoble. The ratio of pas
sion in q man is the ratio Of his
TEN ptation. The heroic man is the
man of strong desire, strong lust,
" ho rcss,s and conquers it. A man
who has no desire for alcoholic liquor
connot be tempted to drunkenness:
man Of bold, fearless temperament
cannot be tempted to cowardice' a
man of mild or cold nature is not
tempted to anger; free. generous
nature is not tempted to avaflce.
No credit TO such for being free from
those vices. 1t may be even a de
basement, an infcrionty OF nature
not to have such passions. The no.
BILE man is he who rcsists when they
are strong in him. The measure OF
temptation is the measure of passion
the more sensitive, and nervous,
and emotional mans temperament
the higher, that Is, the quantities
Of his manhood--tle more he can be
tempted.
See, then. how temptation arises.
Desire springs up in man, and oc-
casion for gratifying it presents "
SELF. The occasion may be perfectly
innocent. 1t may be gold lying in
the till Of counter, or purse ear.
ried loosely in the pocket, and the
TEN ptation Is to steal IT, IL may be
drink at the wine sellers, and the
tenn ptation is To drink 10 excess.
Or the occasion may be purposel,
furnished; companions may solicit
and urge, the devil may suggest
But 1t is within the man himself
that the desire springs up and be-
comes peri. II his conscience Is
sensitive. il his religious feeling Y
strong, il will keep the desire from
becoming masterfuI keep II from
| all unlawful Indulgence. --Rev. Hen
'ry Alton.

BETTER THAN QUININE.

DIR. Duncan's Chill Tonic Is the
best chill cure known. 1t is much bet
ter than quinine or any other chill tom
ic now on the market, because it is a
fine blood tonic combined with the
most powerful antiperiodics, or chill
cure known. 1t is combined with Iron
which tones and builds mp the blood
and the whole system, while 1t breaks
up the chill. Hence the chills do not
return, because the system is much
stouter and healthier thanwheD broken
with quininc. Use it in all forms of
malarial fever as you would quinine.

A BRIGHT, MATERIAL FUTURE

4 BRIGHT, MATERIAL FUTURE.
The New Orleans Times-Demo-
erat gives the following encourag-
ing view of the present and future
material prosperity of the south;
"The leading industries of the
country, which have been nearly
paralyzed for the past two years,
are looking up again; money is being
freely withdrawn from banks and
safety deposit vaults for legitimate
investment, and all the current evil
dences point to a speedy return of
confidence and prosperity. Such a
hopeful state of affairs promises gol-
den things for the southern states if
the southern people will only dis
play pluck, energy and enterprise
while yet the boom is new The
capital of Che east, north and Eu-
rope has been looking this way for a
number Of year and but for the
political agitation in the past would
certainly have taken a heavy inter
est with us long ago, The situation
had become settled and capital as
sured Of welcome, fair treatment
and profitable returns when the late
depression commenced. At that
time there was very general ten
dency toward southern investment,
and that tendency may now be re-
allied.
"Taking the south in the aggre-
gate it has suffered less from hard
times than any other portion of the
United States. It's people were lit
tie in debt, and in the struggle from
poverty to independence since the
war had learned to practice a con-
servatism and economy in business
matters to which the wealthy north
