SLIPPING AWAY.


SLIPPING AWAY.
They are slipping away, those sweet, swift years,
Like leaf on the current cast;
With never break in their rapid flow
We watch them as one by one they go
the beautiful past
As silent and swift as weavers thread,
Or an arrows flying gleam
AS sort IS the languorous breeZes hid
That lift the willows long golden lid,
And ripple the CLASSY stream.
AS light as the breath of the thistle down
AS fond as he lovers dream; "rtE
AS pure as the flush in the seagulls throat,
As sweet as the wood-bird's wooing note
So tender and sweet thy seem.
One after another we see them pass,
Down the dim-lighted stair;
we near the sound Of their steady trend
In the steps of the centuries long since dead
AS beautiful and as fair.
There are only few years left to love-
shall we waste them in idle strife
shall we trample under Cur Ruthless feet
Those beautiful blossoms. rare and sweet
by the dusky way of life?
There are only few swift years-ah let
NO enVious taunts be heard;
Make life's fair pattern of rare design,
ANA nll up the measures with loves sweet wine,
But never an angry word

The GrOg- Shop and the Church.

The grog-shop is two-edged sword,
and cuts both ways at once. 1t is ro-
tating machine for the sharing of souls.
1t catches our young men and boys be-
fore they reach the church or Sunday
school-while they are on their way
and never reach its doors, or else it
catches them as they return, and mars
or neutralizes the blessed lessons there
impaired. Between the two there is
the old irrepressible conflict" over
again. 1t is war to the knife, and knife
to the hilt, and only one can win. And
in this warfare we of Christ's army are
outnumbered. There are twelve sa-
looms to every church, and twelve bar
keepers to every minister. The church
opens its doors two or three days in
the week. The saloon grinds on and
on with its mill of destruction all the
days of every week, all the months of
every year. That we are outnumbered
is not all. We are outgeneraled as
well. The people of the rum-shop pro-
pose in their hearts not only to mar and
neutralize, but to obliterate and displace
the lessons of church and Sunday-school.
They have their series of lessons, with
which our International Series cannot
at all compete. They have studied
carefully the tastes, tendencies and
preferences of boys and young men,
their natural and innocent taste for va
riety, fOndness for amusement, prefer
ences9for young company, and they pam
der to all these in ways that take hold
upon death.-FrdnceS r. Willard, in
National Bulletin

left his whole property to an adopted
daughter, who was not only very beau
tiful, but who yet remained single,
after hundred proposals for her hand.
1t was not the wish for my fathers
wealth that drew me here-I only
wished to see and know the being who
had been his to love, and who had
taken my place; for, as l grew up,
loved my father more. / came, and l
was not long in loving you. So now
you know ALL"
On the next day they were married,
and then Barbara told Karl about the
letter.
So they went and got it, and, upon
opening it, they found it read as fol-
lows:
"To Barbara, Ny BeloUed Chid:-Once
had son. He left me when only twelve
years old, and II was my own harshness
that drove him away. Should he ever come
back, it would be my hottest wish that he
might become your husband. But / can
hardly hope so much. Yet, ere / die, if he
comes not back again before, | shall leave
you with restriction toward this end. But
| will not leave it so that any unprincipled
man can step in and claim to be my son, as
some might do in hope of thereby gaining
some of the property l leave. | think my
son is the only man, besides Martin, who
can ride the black saddle-mare; therefore l
shall use that test. Yet ! would not leave
this to you so that it might prevent you
from gaining a husband, for were you to
know of my wish, you might put off honest
lovers without use or benefit. And if my
wish kept you from a husband longer than
you desire, the knowledge that it was my
earnest prayer will surely remove all I'M
pleasant feelings If you do ever see my
gnn foil hir,,h nc fatb nr t.yo11 nd
in his last hours of life blamed him not.
Won DUNDERMAN.
and how could you ride the black
saddle-mare when no others could do
it?" asked Barbara, as they both wiped
away their tears.
All, it was very simple" returned
Karl, with a smile. I" 1t was | who
broke the mare when she was colt,
and to prevent the neighbors' boys and
any others from riding her clandes-
timely, and also to be rid of the pest of
borrowers, l taught her to allow no one
to ride her who mounted on the near
side. BY perseverance / got her so
that she would even throw me off if
mounted on the side which it is always
customary to use for that purpose. If
you will look at your own saddle you
will notice that it is made wrong side
to-, as others would call it; and Martin,
find, knew the secret. OF course no
man not in this secret would think of
mounting on the off side; so my father
knew that if did return l and alone,
could ride the beast. Are you sorry
the mare threw off so many lovers for
you?''
90 no. Karl - murmured the mai
den, with happy tears in her eyes;
81 am very glad, for now 1 have the
right one. If you had been thrown off
l should never have tried again"
"Why SOP"
Because my heart would have been
thrown off to. and broken in its fall"
OF course Karl Won Dunderman was
satisfied, and so was Barbara, and, more
than all, so was the black saddle-mare.

Temperance.
The New Angsthetic.

Let the attention of everybody be
called to the fact-if it is fact, as de-
clared-that the new remedy, " coca
ine," is said to allay the thirst for
strong drink in the most hopeless
drunkards. 1t also helps equally the
slave of morphine, it is claimed. Such
news ought to come with inexpressible
"joy to the world" The following is
from the Journal Of Education: "The
most valuable property of cocaine re-
mains yet to be told. Those who have
been experimenting with it the longest
claim that il will allay the thirst for in
toxicating liquors and also the morbid
cravings of the slave of morphine. A
few drops injected under the skin, in
the neighborhood of the stomach, have
been effectual in subduing the most in
tense cravings of the confirmed in
briate for the deadly poison. 1t is
claimed by many that it will effect, in
a short time, permanent cure for the
drunkard who will make an application
of it whenever he feels the thirst for
liquor. After a few weeks his cravings
will cease to return, and he will find
himself clothed in his right mind. This
seems almost to good to be true, yet it
is believed by many eminent physi-
clans. 1t is certain that it has, in many
instances, been found effectual in allay-
ing the thirst for the poisoned draughts,
in the most hopeless drunkards, when
ever an application was made, and in
no instance has it left any deleterious
effects upon the system. The drinker
who is one from choice will not seek
its aid to eXpel the demon. There is
no hope for him except in legal prohi-
bition; but there is another class of
drinkers who are not willing slaves;
they have been brought into this world
with this hideous birthright thrust upon
them by a liquor-loving ancestry.
Wherever the efficiency of cocaine be-
comes known, these unfortunates come
to seek its aid, and their sad stories of
the pitiable fate to which they were
born should impress all who have the
training of the young in charge with
the Importance of instructing them to
shun this evil"

IT is becoming more and more gen.
orally recognized that intemperance is
at the bottom of two-thirds of the social,
political and moral evils that retard
progress and perplex and harrass the
legislator. 1t is being comprehended
that an effective and safe franchise re-
quires sobriety and intelligence in the
voter. In fact, it is being realized that
the future of the country depends
largely in mastering the elements which
have their origin and derive all their
strength from rum, and which initiate
at every turn against good government,
pure social conditions, religion, and
progress.-Neto York Tribune.

TOTAL abstinence never destroyed
home, blighted wife or cursed child.
Total abstinence never robbed a man
of character, manliness or integrity.
Total abstinence never filled Jail or an
alms-house. Total abstinence never led
a pure life into vice, nor blackened
pure heart with shame. Total absti-
nence never filled the land with wall
ing, nor its households with want.
Drinking habits destroy, blight and

vice and shame. Which is better

An English newspaper states that the
Madagascar government imposes on
any person found drunk in the district
of Imerina fine of seven oxen and
seven dollars; and the introduction of
any quantity of rum into the district is
punishable with a fine of five oxen and
five dollars-sums, of course, made
