Woe to the prunkard.Maker.

Not only the words of the prophet,
"Woe unto him that giveth his neigh

when he said, "Whoso shall offend
(cause to commit Ofiense) one of these
little ones, that believe in me, it were
better for him that a mill stone were
hanged about his neck, and that he
were drowned in the depths Of the SEES"
To entice youth from every home is
one of the supreme efforts of the liquor
vender of our day. 1t is true of the so
called respectable dealers, that they are
sinners, even above the drunkards.
They are the men who know better.
They are the men who sin against the
whole light of plain duty, especially if

takes pains not to know or think what

we served together in the land of the
Montezumas. / know that his nature

dead of this army of the Potomac, the

Northern Virginia.

A Lesson from the Gallows.

John Terry, a colored man, was hung
at Barnwell, s. c., recently. On the
scafIold he gave this impressive warn
ing, which, though addressed to his own
race, is quite asapplicable to all races:
This ends my career in the first
trouble / have ever been in, and /
warn all men OF my color, especially
the young, to let whiskey and bad
white men alone. / was not hired but

made my peace with my God, and am
ready to die. He has pardoned my
sin, and pray that my sad fate may
be warning that will keep the young
men of my race from following my
example" Terry's statement was quite
true. His life had been void of ofiense
until the day when he was persuaded
To drink liquor. 1t put him in fren-
zy, during which he killed white man,
named Sessions, without knowing
what he did.

a Tennessee husband returned home
from a drunken carousal, and was soon
asleep in his chamber. His dear, bro

her weeping over his besotted sorm

and made that saddeped room sadder
still with her sobbing. AS she bowed

he awoke; saw that angel watcher at

and tenderly keep.
That husband Is now, and has been
for years, an eloquent and successful
minister of Christ in the Southern
Church.
There is a wonderfully mysterious

History puts in some evidence on

This reminds me of the frightful
vengeance which the Senator once
wreaked upon predecessor Of Sarah
Althea and hated rival. It became
known 10 the fascinating statesman
that he was not loved for himself alone
but for the dfoss, of which he possessed
so much. A gambler in Virginia City
which town Mr.. Sharon honored
with his presence at the time-was the
object of his wrath
"Anpie," said the benevolent old
gentleman, @you are IL nice girl, and
take a fatherly interest in you. am
not feeling well-my heart is affected,
] think-and may drop off any day.
1t wouldn't do, of course, for me to
remember you in my viii; it would
cause a scandal, which | abhor. Here
are 200 shares of Ophir. 1t is worth
only $50 now, but inside of month it
will go beyond $500. When breaches
$500 you sell. That will give you $780,
600, which will be nice stocking for
rainy day. No thanks. pray. Spare
me the sight OF your tears. Bless you,
my child"
What the good man anticipated fol-
lowed. The favOrite gambler re-
ceived the "point" from the treacher-
Gus Annie, under. strict promise of
secrecy, OF course, and every dollar
he could raise by pawning, borrowing
and begging went into Ophir. So did
the last dime of every friend the gam
bier had-for nobody has ever yet
been able to keep point all to him.
self. Then Senator Sharon fell upon
the enemy. He danced upon Ophir;
he sat upon Ophir; he took Ophir by
the throat and shook it as he would
have liked to do the gambler had he
dared. At the end of few days,
when Ophir sold for SO, the basely de-
ceived brnefactor OF faithless fe-
male rested from his labors and
gloated upon the ruin he had wrought.
He stopped the gloomy gambler on
the street and inquired with kindly
interest how he was getting along. 1t
surprised him to learn that his sport
ing friend was not prospecting, and he
charitably offered him Il dollar to get
his dinner
Ophir has enabled Senator Sharon
to do good service more than once to
the cause of good morals. When he
WIS CiCObC0y dDOub ONCA1 WI
the Legislature who voted for him
considered it right that he should be
rewarded. Sharon was generous. The
cost was dreadful, but the Senator
never became anxious. He couldn't
do enough for his dear friends, the
legislators. Not satisfied with grant
ing all demands, he cOnided to a few
of his supporters-immediately after
his election-his opinion that Ophir
was sure to go up. The whole Legis-
lature Immediately invested heavily
in Ophir. But that seductive stock,
singular to say, instead of going up,
went down, and by remarkable COIN
cidence the new Senator happened to
be short on the market. So it came
about that, owing to this happy Incl
dent, Mr.. Sharon's election did not |
cost him a cent after all.

The Ruling Passion to the Last.

A poor little newsboy, while attempt
ing to Jump from a city car the other
afternoon, fell beneath the car, and
was fearfully mangled. AS soon as the
child could speak, he called piteously
for his mother, and a messenger was
at once sent to bring her 20 him. When
the bereaved mother arrived, she hung
over the dying boy in an agony of
grief. Mother" whispered he, with a
painful effort, Il sold four newspapers,
and the money is in my pocket" With
the hand of Death upon his brow, the
last thought of the suffering child
was for the poor, hard-working
mother, whose burdens he was striv-
ing to tighten when he lost his life.

Good Advice.

General Stanley, in his address to
the graduating class at West Point
said, among other things, to the young
soldiers:
