BE What You Seem to Be.

a nobleman gave grand supper to
a few guests. While they sat at la
BILE two masked personages came into
the room. They were not larger than
children five or six years of age, and
represented gentleman and lady of
high rank. The gentleman wore a scar
let coat with gold buttons. His curly
wig was powdered snow white, and in
his hand he held fine hat. The lady
was dressed in yellow silk with silver
spangles, and had neat little hat with
plumes on her head, and fan in her
hand. Both danced elegantly, and often
made agile springs. Everybody said,
1.-The skill of these children is wonder
full" An old officer who sat AT the table
took an apple and threw it between the
gay dancers. Suddenly the little lord and
lady rushed for the apple, quarreled as
if they were mad, tore off their masks
and headgear, and, instead of the skillful
children, appeared pair of filthy apes.
All at the table laughed loudly, but the
old officer said, with much earnestness,
" Apes and fools may dress as much as
they please; il soon becomes known
who they are. From The German.

Who Hath Wounds !

elbow is he getting along?" l was
startled by the answer, &C His autopsy
was held yesterday" On Tuesday of
this week man was brought into our
hospital theater suffering from fracture
of the skull, broken nose and jaw, and
from other injuries received, while in
toxicated, from falling down stairs.
The surgeon, while operating, dropped
an ominOus remark. Referring to the
method of treating the wounds as re-
lated to the horizontal position, he said,
He may never have any other
position.'' So it proved. Monday
found him erect, about his business,
and Thursday in his grave. All this
from the curse of drink by licensed
vender sold! How long are we to lie
passively under the burden of this
wrong and outrage? We are like the
superstitious Hindus who build hos
pitfalls for those injured by the sacred
tigers, but do not cage the tigers. We
build hospitals and prisons; we support
police and surgeons to care for the
victims of intemperance, yet tolerate
the sale of the liquor that robs our land
of thousands of lives and millions of
money. As l saw this bleeding creature,
bruised and battered, the text came to
mind: "Who hath wounds without
cause? Who hath woe? Who hath
sorrow?" AS think of his new-made
grave the other query, Gam ! my
brothers keeper" comes to mind with
special emphasis. May God rouse us
more fully to the responsibility of this
curse of intemperance that is desolating
the nd.-Medicus.

The Mayor and the Brewer.

The New York Observer, comment
ing upon the part of Mayor Grace in
delivering an address of welcome to the
brewers on the occasion of their late
annual congress, held in that city, says:
But we have this to say, very dis
tinctly, that the beer-drinking habits
of the people need no official recogni-
ton on the part of the mayor or any
other civil authorities. We venture to
say that if the temperance societies of
the country were to have convention
in this city Mayor Grace would not be
the first to welcome them in formal
address. But if the liquor interest, in
any shape or form, were to be repre-
sented, he is the man to do them honor
in the name of the greatest city on the
continent. The cup of our humiliation
is almost full and will soon overflow if
the good men and true do not arise in
their might and reform the miserable
government of this city. 1t must be
taken out of the hands of party politics
and conducted on sound party prin-
ciples. Now the government of the
city of New York is in the hands of
the breweries and grog-shops."

Temperance.
Total Abstinence.

The argument is that drink is a
source of great pleasure and enjoyment.
Perhaps the advocate may never have
tried whether abstinence, undertaken
from generous motives, is not source
of even greater pleasure. Thousands
of those who once enjoyed their glass
OF beer or their glass of sherry with
keen relish, now derive from total alb
stinence, even physically and mentally,
pleasure far purer and more keen. l
will not now more than allude to the
certainty that for many persons alco-
hol, even in quantities conventionally
deemed moderate, is subtly deleterious.
1 will not speak of the many vitiated
constitutions for which the strength
and the amount of the stimulant must
constantly be increased, nor of the hum
dreds of families which might have
been very happy, but into which ten
dency to drink has introduced anguish
and degradation such as cannot ade-
quately be described. But / may as
sert, from the experience of thousands
of total abstainers, that they have found
alcohol to be for themselves, if not a
harmful, at least an entirely needless
luxury. In these hard days the major
ity of struggling middle-class families,
no less than the vast multitudes of poor
and unemployed, would find that the
money which they now needlessly spend
upon wine, beer or spirits, would bene-
fit them in multitude of better ways.
To the laboring class generally total
abstinence often means the difference
between beggary and responsibility,
between rags and decency, between
success and ruin, between true homes
and what Carlyle called "worse than
Dantean hells." Putting the question
for the moment on the ground of pleas
ure, apart from every other considera-
ton, l have no hesitation in saying
that in my belief a nation of total alb
stainers would be a far healthier and
an unspeakably happier nation than
England ever can be under her present
conditions. Even personally most total
abstainers would at once testify that if
they have given up source of pleasure
which they hardly consider worth reck-
oning, they have gained in its place
other pleasures which nothing short of
necessity would induce them to forego.
Said Benjamin Franklin: Temper
ance puts fuel on the fire, meat in the
barrel, flour in the sack, money in the
purse, credit in the country, vigor in
the body, contentment in the house
clothes on the BARNS, intelligence in
the brain and spirit in the constitu
ton. '-Selectea.

Try 1t with Sheep-Thieves.

The cry is continually made that pro-
hibition is failure. The statute has
made liquor-selling a crime, and the
Christian men have elected liquor
criminals to punish the crime of liquor
selling. Treat the prohibition law
against stealing sheep in the same man
ner and it will be great failure.
Elect sheep-thief for constable,
another for justice of the peace,
another for town clerk, another for
Judge of the court, another for county
clerk, another for sheriff, another
for district attorney, thus putting
sheep-thieves on guard, ensuring
for the sheep-thief who was caught in
the act the privilege of being tried by
jury of sheep-stealing peers, all of
whom had been engaged in the bust
ness and were daily dining on stolen
mutton, and see if the prohibition
against sheep-stealing would be any
more efficient ? A well-known sheep
thief would not be drawn on jury to
try any class of criminals, and yet we'll
known violators of the excise law are
constantly drawn to punish liquor
criminals.-Erchange.

Does any one care augbt for father?
Does any one think Of the one
Upon whose tired, bent shoulders,
The cares Of the family come?
The father who strives for your comfort,
And tolls on from day unto day,
Although his steps ever grow slower,
And his dark locks are turning gray.
Does any one think Of the due.bills
He's called upon daily to pay
Milliner bills, college bills, book bills
There are some kinds of bills every day.
Like patient horse In tread.mill,
He works on from morning till night;
Does any one think he Is tired
Does any one make his home bright?
Is 1t right, Just because he looks troubled,
To say he's cross as a bear?
Kind words, little actions and kindness,
Might Danish his burden of care.
IT'S for you he is ever so anxious,
He will toll for you while he may live;
In return he only asks kindness,
And such pay is easy to give. Selected
