the delusions of drinking men often
is that nobody Knows Of their failing,
With the marks of the vice on every

Two KINDS OF GIRLS.

One is the kind that appears best
abroad-the girls that are good at
parties, rides, visits, balls etc, and
whose cheif delight is in such things.
The other is the kinc that appears
best at home-the kind that are USE
ful aud cheerful in the dining room,
sick room and all the precincts OF
home. They differ widely in charac-
ter. One is often torment at home,
the other u blessing; one is a moth,
consuming everything about her;
the other is sunbeam, inspiring
light and gladness all around her
pathway. To which of these classes
do you belong?

Washington Post: The following
is said to be the "otficial" explanation
of the reason why Attorney General
Garland did not attend the Presi.
dents wedding. At the death OF
his wife some years ago he made a
vow never to enter into social festiv-
tiles again. He has kept his vow,
devoting most Of bis time after Office
hours to the care and attention of his
aged mother. He did not even at
tend the wedding of lis son a year
ago, although his son married with
his full appreciation. The story OF
his dislike to a dress suit has no
foundation.
The Osceola times., 1886-07-03
Rum.

There is no word of three letters
in the English language or any other
language that is so voluminously
suggestive as this word rum. To
one who has been sufficiently sym
pathetic to lament the misfortunes
and sorrows of his kind, and sutfi
cicntly observant to see the dreadful
effects Of intempercnce, the very
word seems like picturG Of skull
and cross bones, with power to hiss
out the word death aud to startlr
us with its seemingly intelligent
mockery of human wretchedness.
The triamphs Of liquor have been SO
widespread and heart-rcnGing; SO
crushing to human hopes and blight
ing to human character; so awful in
their effect upon Innocence and I'M
bruting to the nublcst instincts OF
the human heart, that there is moth.
ing that SO fills the lover of his race
with burning hatred as the simple
word which glares at us in the head
of this article. Eating out the very
manhood OF the developing boy; tear
ing the fairest character to shreds;
clouding the brightest iutellects that
have ever glowed in the world; pois-
oning the noblest natures that have
ever mellowed the character of hu-
manity with reflections OF divinity;
spreading black shadow ovci hear h
stones; filling almshouses and prisons
aud loading scairolds; and singing
to their death honor and purity and
innocence, rum has been and is the
Unsuitable demon that gloats over the
broadest, blackcst swath of its own
moving that was ever cut through
human hearts and human happiness.
Ia the presence of such remorseless
destroyer 1t is not cowardice to con-
less ourselves afraid of the monster,
or to run hom its presents. 1t is
foolhardiness to stand where so many
thousands have been swept into ruin.
1t is little short Of idiocy to tamper
with that which has conquered the
brightest minds and strongest Wills,
and made decent men repulsve in
habit and appearance.
To the young men who read THE
WESTERN RURAL, aud from whom
so mnch is expected in the future,
we earnestly appeal for their undyiug
enmity to rum. As you value your
happiness, and honor, and usefulness
to Yourselves and to the world touch
not, taste not, handle not the accurs-
ed stuff. Do not make the mistake
Of supposing that you will be safe
in the clutch of the destroyer that
has laid low SO many thousands of our
race; and do not make the greater
mistake of thinking that you can
drink and the world not know it.
That is vice that above all others
leaves its footprint just where all
may sec it. The most moderate
drinker cannot hide the evidences of
Of his indulgence. The eve, the
breath and the manner tell the story
even with the man who drinks mod.
eratcly, which our young readers may
