Injurious Talking.

| A Frenehman, speaking of person
known to his comrades, said, "His
mouth costs him nothing, for he al
ways opens it at the expense of others"
There are multitudes of persons to
| whom that remark will apply. Exag-
geration aud defamation are two fer
| tile sources of social mischief. We
meet with persons who sensitively
shrink from the deliberate violation
of truth, who will habitually overcolOr
| their statements to such an extent that
false impression is conveyed to the
mind of the listener. They thus lower
the tone of their own mind, destroy
the power of accurate perception, di-
and SOW the seeds of much error in the
world. They soon discover that they
are not credited even when they speak
sOberly. Their moral drafts npon So
cial confidence are dishonored.
But perhaps the most injurious talk
is that which detracts from the char
acter of another-that which openly or
in disguise strikes at the reputation of
a brother pilgrim-that which ''cuts
mems Threats with whisperings''-tlIat
which is adopted by the envious rival
who seeks to build ''his name Oh the
ruins of another's fame" Little does
the slanderer think what a bitter har-
vest he will himself reap from the
calumnious words he has uttered. A
lady visited Philip Neri on one Occa-
sion, accusing herself of being SLAM
derer. ''Do you frequently fall into
this fault?" he inquired. eyes, very
often" replied the penitent. "My dear
child" said Philip, "your fault is great,
but the mercy of God is greater; l
now bid thee do rs follows: Go to the
nearest market and purchase chicken
just killed and still covered with feath-
ers; then walk to a certain distance,
piucking the bird as you go. Your
walk finished return to me- Tie wO-
anxious to know the meaning of so
singular an injunction. "YOu have
been very faithful to the first part of
of my ORDERS" said Philip; "nOw do
the second part and you will be cured.
Retrace your steps, pass through all
the places you have traversed, aud
gather up enc 10y one all the feathers
you have scattered" ''But.n said the
woman, 81 cast the feathers carelessly
away, and the wind carried them in
all directions" "Well, my child" re-
piled Philip, $50 it is with your words

wind has scattered, they have been

Constance Stacy to Eleanor Ames
"-Now we shall find out whether Lulu's

The two girls joined Jennie, who
greeted them very pleasantly. They
walked on together, and presently Miss

Lulu is we'll and sent her love to all

At the corner the girls separated,
Constance and Eleanor looking rather
ashamed, and Jennie walking down
her own street with very stately step,
holding her head high. That she

her mother had trained her to be hon

The Liquor Curse in the United
States
The Redman's Greatest Foe.


AS intimated in our last number for
the old year we propose giving q hasty
review of the efforts which have been
made in our country Ia put down the
mighty evil of jutcmperance, an evil
not less gigantic in its character or
direful in its consequences than was
the curse of slavery which brought
upon us the ravages of civil war; an
evil that has east its baleful shadow,
not only over one section, but over the
whole of our fair land an evil which
exempts NO class of society, rich nor
poor. learned nor ignorant, for there is
scarcely household in the land which
has not in some way been subject to
its curse. But before We notice the
efforts put forth for the removal of the
curse, let as inquire into its beginning
and growth on the continent of Amer
lea.
Stimulating drinks were not wholly
unknown among the ahorigines of
America. The early voyagers to this
country found kind of beer made OF
corn among the Peruvians A kind of
fermented maple juice WAS found
among some of the tribes of redmen in
the north. The ancient Mexicans, at
the time COrteZ began his conquests.

VOICE OF THE PEOPLE.
To the Voters.

When the people of ST. Paul secure the
consent of such man as Hon. Z. Rice to
stand for mayor, it is their duty to elect
him, and no Democrat should fail to exer-
else the right of suffrage on Tuesday next.
The contest is between one of our Oldest and
most popular citizens on one side, and a
young man, unknown beyond the limits of
the state, on the other. Mr.. Rice has been
foremost in every enterprise calculated to
develop the material interests of our city.
He has contributed by his money and his
influence in building up manufacturing in
terests here, which have given the laboring
men employment, enabling them to support
their families and to educate their children.
and the aid furnished by Mr.. Rice has not
been the means of putting money into his
pocket. No poor man ever went to him for
assistance and went away empty-handed.
To the poor he has been friend and
brother, and any laboring man who votes
against Edmund Rice will vote against the
best friend he has in the city. The
voters should place a man in the
MAYORS chair who has the time
to give our municipal affairs careful study,
and whose only ambition will be to serve
the people well and faithfully. 4 man
who. from the birth of our city. has been
one of our most worthy citizens and who
will keep our expenses down to the very
lowest limit. Another reason which should
influence every Democrat to stand by the
nominees of his party is to prevent the city
from falling into the hands of the Republi-
can party Should you fail to go TO the
polls and the Republicans win, the wings
OF lightning will carry the news of a Repub-
Ican victory to all parts OF the world
Stand by your candidates and let it be said
when the sun goes down on the 5th that ST.
Paul. true 70 her former history, is Demo-
cratic to the very core. Vote, and see that
your Democratic neighbor votes and we
shall have no fear of the result.
Mr.. Rice IS so well known at home and
