The Serpent in the Cup.


BY REV. THEODORE l.. CUYLER, d. ID.
We quote SolOmon's solemn words
in close and literal translation from
the Hebrew: "WhO hath woe Who
hath sorrowG Who hath quarrels {?
Who hath wounds without cause
Who hath blurred eyes ? Those who
tarry long over the wine; those who
enter ia to try mixed drinks. Look
not on the wine when it is ruddy-
when it sparkles i'm the cup--when it
goes down smoothly for at the last it
will bite like IA serpent, and sting like
a viper" 1t anybody says that Solo
mon was advocating ''mOdera drink
ing" lac might as well assert that the
wise man believed in II moderate play
ing with serpents, or i'll being mOder-
ately stung 10y nest of rattlesnakes.
He gives no liCeuse to any man to
tamper with liquor. He does not preach
the modern doctrine that man may
jump half way down cataract. 1t is
strange that many believers in Gods
word who take the other passages
literally SO ingenious in explain
ing away this tremendous passage. As
we'll try to explain away the passage,
''the wages Of sin il DEATH The sim
pie fact is. that the wise man intended
to teach total abstinence. He also IN
tended to teach teetotalism, when he
said, "wine is mocker" That is, il
is so decceitful that the drinker mag
ines it is doing him good, when 1t is
doing him fatal mischief. He thinks
it is making him stronger, when it is
only exciting him fer the moment. and
leaving him all the weaker when the
excitement is over.
Wine aud brandy are deceivers too
when their drinkers fancy they can
stop drinking just when they choose.
This is terrible mistake. A young
man said tai a friend of mine, This
abominable drinking has used mp my
money and ruined my health, aud al
most killed my parents. 1t will soon
kill me: shall die aud go to hell. |

the habit il SO strong that cannot
stop it ~ And he did not stop. He

there are strange things about this
matter of using intOxinants 1t Is
strange that persons who will never
think of travelling over a road where
the bridges are unsafe, will deliberate
ly risk their lives and their immortal
souls, rather than say no. They will
look at the iOathsome sOt with horror.

Effects of Imagination.

The well authenticated cases Of per
sons who have been informed that
their lungs were fatally diseased but
who yet have lived on for years, and
in comparative health, leads the New
York Hour to remark that thousands
are frightened into their graves every
year. Not all pain in the chest arises
from weak lungs, and heart disease, SO
called, is more apt to he simply the
sympathetic effect of Il disordered
stomach, or other temporary difficulty.
The Hour says:
1t should be remembered by the
afflicted or the frightened that ali the
vital organs are out of sight, and that
the extreme of skill and experience can
only imperfectly ascertain their cOndi-
ton. The kidneys are the only excep-
ton to this rule, for their condition for
the time being can be Judged to
some extent by what comes from them.
Bnt even this test may lie misleading,
and it is the means of a frightful
amount of abuse of the feelings and
pockets by guacks and INSCRIPTIONS
and regular physicians. The excreta
of the kidneys is uniform only in per
sons whose habit of eating, drinking,
sleeping, bathing. and working are alb
solutely regular. The natural deduc-
ton from all this is that no person
should keep up the fears regarding the
heart, the lungs or any vital organ un-
til he has first tried the effect of abso-
lutely regular and intelligent physical
habits. Plenty of well-cooked food,
few or no stimulants, regular rest, fire.
quent bathing, and either steady work
or plenty of moderate physical exer-
else, have in "a short time restored to
health thousands of persons who have
been given up to die of vital disorders.

TIE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE

The Presidents message, is gen.
crally admitted TO be fair average
message. 1t is praised by the
democrats, generally, and il not
much criticised by the republicans.
There are two serious objections TO
it however. One is the ground
taken OH the silver question, and
the other is the omission of all
reference to the Mississippi River
matter. It is in short, a document
influenced by Eastern ideas, and
not palatable to Southern and
Western notions.
Mr.. Cleveland, even before he
was inaugurated, took the trouble
to give his opinion on the silver
question, when there was no occas-
sion for it, and he repeats his SEN
timcnts in his message. He is OPP
posed to the further coinage OF
silver. SO are the capitalists east,
but the west and south are not, and
there will be fierce struggle on
that subject. The silver men do
not propose to stand any lnterfer-
ence with the existing state of af-
fairs, and it is to be hoped, that
gold will get such black eye as to
last it for some time to come.
But the glaring fault is the omis-
sion of any reference whatever TO
the great Valley interest, the i'm
provement of the Mississippi. A
large part of the Solid South is
vitality interested in the river prob
lem, and Mr.. Cleveland,s whole
duty is not to New York and the
east. He has obligations to fulfil
to this section, and shirking the
river problem is not going to satisfy
the valley people. The transpor-
tation problem is of serious, and
pressing interest, to us, and just
how Mr.. Cleveland stands on that
matter should not be left in doubt.
While he was reeIing off words by
the bushel, he could very easily
have thrown in for good measure,
few remarks on the subject of
greatest interest to the valley
States, but he cuts his cloth to east
ern measure, which does not fit the
west or south.
He favors Eads ship railway, is
earnestly opposed to polygamy,
lodges the tariff question, defends
civil service reform, and except in
the two matters referred to, pre-
sents conservative message, to
the country for consideration.
