TEMPERANCE.-Some years ago at
a temperance meeting, and during
the circulation of the pledge, the
speaker related the following fact:
An Incorporate man was on his
death-bed. He sent for professor
of religion, and said to him, "Do
you remember being at certain tenn
perance meeting? ] was there [
went for the purpose of signing the
pledge. When it was circulated /
kept my eye on you. | thought you
knew more about these things than
/ did, and if it were a good thing you
would give your name and join it.
But you did not and therefore l did
! not. And here | am. | am about
to die, and Wanf you to prepare to
meet me in the Judgment
These words went like dagger to
that professors heart, and they
should pierce the heart of every one
protesting goodness who stands
aloof from the temperance cause
Every one has an influence, and tina
influence should be on the side of viz
tue and piety, on the side of God anC
, religion. We should not only avoic
the appearance of evil. but do all tn
good in our power. And in this viey
5 we should be mindful of our exampl
end influence. Actions speak loud
!; er than words. Be right and do right

Every mother ought to teach her
daughter practically how to keep her
house in order; how to make bread
and do all kinds of cooking; how to
economist so as to make little 60
q great way; how to spread an air of
neatness and comfort over her house
hold how to make and mend her
husbands clothes in q word, how
TO be q good housekeeper. Then if
she has no domestics, she can make
her family happy without them; if
she has domestics, she can effectual-
ly teach them to do things as they
ought to be done, and make them
obey her. She can then direct her
domestic affairs, and be mistress of
her own house; which, sad to say,
too many in these times are not.
Domestics soon ascertain whether
their mistress knows how to do things
they have her in their power, and al
most always take advantage of it.
But do not get the false notion that
the domestic virtues of woman pre-
ciude the highest and most accom-
plIshed education.
What is the cure for gossip? Sim
ply culture. There is a great deal
of gossip that has no malignity in it
Good-natured people talk about theil
neighbors because-and only because
they have nothing else to talk
about. Gossip is always a persona
confession of either malice or imbe
cility, and the young should not only
shun it, but should with the mos
careful watchfulness guard them
selves against every temptation to in
dulge in it. 1t is low, frivolous, ant
too often a dirty business. Their
are country neighborhoods in whicI
it RACES like pest. Churches ar
split in pieces by it. Neighbor
make enemies for life by it. In man
persons it degenerates into chroni
disease which is practically incur
able.

Death of Sir Moses Montefiore.

Sir Moses Monte6ore, the Hebrew philan-
thropist, died in England on Tuesday. He
was one of those men whose deeds break
down the barriers of race and religion and
compel the universal admiration of mankind.
Born on the 24th of October, 1854, he attained
the great age of century and more, and the
pages of history might doubtless be searched
in vain for parallel to his long aud bench
cent career. His life was devoted almost
wholly to the service of his people, and the
celebration of his Tooth birthday last fall was
observed with grateful Acknowledgements by
the Hebrews of every cline. Inherited wealth,
accumulated by several generations of ances-
tors, was used by him for the relief and adj
vancement of his oppressed coreligionists in
countries where race prejudice had subjected
them to intolerable burdens. Through his
personal efforts and intercession the condition
of the Jews of Palestine, of Russia, of Poland,
of Morocco and Of Roumania was greatly
ameliorated by official action on the part of
the various governments. Sir Moses also gave
large sums to various charities, and in 1867
endowed Jewish college at Ramsgate, Eng
land. His philanthropic efforts caused the
municipal authorities to bestow the freedom
of the city of London upon him. He was
also knighted by the queen, and in 1916 was
made baronet Sir Moses may be said to
have dedicated his life as well as his great
wealth to his people, who have not been slow
to recognize and honor his conspicuous SER
vices.
