Temperance.
Liquor and Labor.

What lesson lies in the drink-bill of
American workingmen, for instancel
AT moderate estimate it amounts TO
between four and five hundred million
dollars year. While labor is throwing
away that enormous sum annually,
with what show of consistency can it
lament its condition? One years re-
mission of that destructive self-in-
diligence would solve every labor
problem extant, would provide fund
for the establishment of cooperative
works, for the maintenance and edu-
cation of orphans, for libraries and sci
entilic schools, for all manner of helps.
AT present, the working man can hardly
make both ends meet. Is it not because
he insists on creating capitalists out of
the saloon-keepers, and, not content
with that, on submitting all his rights
of citizenship to the same objects of
worship? The saloon in politics is the
most hideous abuse of the day; but
where would it be if the workingmen
withdrew their support from it? 1t
keeps them poor. 1t keeps our politics
corrupt. 1t supplies a constant stream
of base Adventures, who disgrace the
AhhNiiNuh at anu dDIOuu
1t makes the terms "public plumber :"
synonymous. 1t stiles progress, fosters
pauperism, brutalizes husbands and
fathers, breaks women's hearts, puts
rags on the workingman's back, disease
in his body, and shame and despair in
his heart. Yet when labor is most dis
turbed, when the demand for advanced
wages is the loudest, when strikes are
most frequent, when hunger and misery
are most rife in the homes of the poor,
the saloon flourishes still. There may
be no bread at home; but there is al
ways beer and whiskey at the bar, and
the men who consider themselves the vic
tins of circumstances or the " thrals {"
of capital, squander their earnings,
and spend their savings in these dens.
Can there be a serious labor question
while this state of things continues?
Can workingmen talk gravely of their
wrongs while it is plain to all the world
that if they only saved the capital they
earn they would be comfortable?-A
lantic Monthly.

Encouraging,

AT the annual meeting of the French
Anti-tobacco League, held recently at
the Sorbonne in Paris, NJ. Decroix, the
president, congratulated the society on
notable decrease in the sale of to-
bacco of late years, though still amount
ing, however, to $4,000, 900 francs a
year. A special prize of e25 is to be
given in 1888 to the writer of the best
essay on "The effects of tobacco on
the health of men of letters, and its
probable influence on the future of
French literature" 1t is mentioned
that the minister of education is so far
in sympathy with the League that he
allows it to supply all the public schools
with tracts on the evils of juvenile
smoking. incidentally, the temperance
societies IN our own country do much
useful service in the way of distribut-
ing anti-tobacco literature and other
wise to discourage the tobacco habit;
but the evil, especially among the
young, in recent years has assumed
such alarming proportions as to render
necessary much more extended and
effective anti-tobacco crusade than at
present exists in connection with the
existing temperance and anti-tobacco
organizations. Who will move for
the creation of an efficient "Ameri-
can Anti-tobacco ague?"-National

How Brewers Drink.

The Milwaukee Sentinel says We
nave one man who drinks one hundred
glasses per day." This answer was in
reply to a question as to how much
beer the employees in the Milwaukee
breweries consumed. The speaker
was a gentleman engaged in the office
of an extensive brewing company.
What is the average CONSUMPTION
per MANI" about one and one
fourth gallons, or forty glasses daily.
AS rule our employees drink fifty-one
quarter barrels day-nearly 800
worth. During warm days this num-
Der is increased to sixty quarters and
more. Each man generally takes two
glasses at one time, which would make
the number of visits to the bar about
twenty during the day. Allowing three
minutes only for each time he knocks
off work, there is one hour which he
loses in this way. Some of the men
have to walk block and further, and
it often takes about five minutes.n
" Where is the bar generally located?"
Ours is in the corner of the wash
house. We pay man $50 month to
draw beer for the men; and he earns
his money, too. He does nothing else"
" Do your employees get as much beer
as they can hold since the late striker"
They receive all they want"

The HerOism of Jesus.

The heroism of Jesus is brought out
in the solitariness of his conflicts and
sufferings. In his heroic resistance of
the triple temptation in the wilderness,
on the mOuntain-top, and the temple
pinnacle he was alone with Satan.
Alone, patiently and unmurmuringly,
he trod the wine-press of Gods wrath.
OF the people, none were with him.
Alone, we find him triumphing over
the fiercest opposition lover the tyranny
of the magistrate, the subtlety of the
philosopher and the bigotry of the Jew.
Alone he met and routed the Sanhe-
drim. Alone, with heroic fortitude,
he endured the contradiction of sim
ners, and the desertion of friends.
Alone, before Herod and before PLATE
he told the truth and asked no favors,
at time when to tell the truth was
death. He was alone in the noble pur-
pose TO permit them to cruelty him,
himself conscious meantime of the
possession of an omnipotence, exerting
which he could have blotted the blood
thirsting and blood-shedding mob from
the face of the earth, but which he re-
served for his final victory over death
the last enemy that should be destroyed.
Heroism! Produce another example,
such as Jesus of Nazareth, from the
long list of the worlds illustrious!-

the level of the world. Still there are
ways to find entrance to hearts which
at first seem to repel all advances. We
must study to find them, and so become
in reality fishers of men. A woman
begged her minister to talk with her
husband, stolid, worldly farmer.
What is he interested in?" asked the
minister, Nothing but his cattle and
his fiddle" The minister called at his
house and talked with him about his
cattle. BY and by the conversation
turned on the fiddle, and it was found
the minister could draw bow; and
after trying the instrument he told the
farmer he thought he had better one
at his house. and invited him to come
and see it. He came and tried the fid-
die, and the upshot of the matter was
the minister liddled him into the
church and led him to the Lord. BE

doves. Use every right means and
method to accomplish the salvation OF
men. Amusements thus used may glo-
rify God and be an instrument of saw

Getting Hold of People.

There is question among good peo-
pie regarding the propriety of many
forms of amusement used in connec-
ton with Christian work; and it is
often noted that such amusements alb
sorb time and thought and energy that
should be devoted to definite spiritual
work. There is, however, one prin-
ciple which is worthy of attention, and
that is this; amusements, if used by
spiritual Christians for religious pur-
poses, may be made of great advan-
tage. But if they are left in the hands
of the worldly and irreligious, they are
very likely to be worse than useless. In
some way we are glad to get hold of
people. A certain professional gam
bier used to make it his business to get
hold of the men whom he met, gam.
BILE with them and fleece them. He
tried all sorts of ways and methods.
Sometimes he would 90 as a CONNER
cial traveller, and offer to sell them
goods. He had no goods and sold none {;
but he would talk with them until he
became acquainted with them, and
would get them in his power. If ear
nest Christians would use amusements
to save men, they might make them
profitable. Instances have been cited
where Christian men have, by the use
of simple methods of amusement, en-
ticed men within the reach of the Cos
pei influences; but probably more in
stances could be found where world
lings have by the same means lead I'M
wary souls astray. Christians have no
time to waste in frivolity, and they
are to beware how they come down to

Dangerous Companions.

When young fellow has made up
his mind to walk on the edge of preci-
pice for the sake of seeing prospects
he always finds plenty of company.
There is an abundance of people with
strong heads who, having walked these
paths till they are quite certain of their
foothold, are ready to go out with giddy
new beginners. If they accidentally
lose their heads, and fall over, whose
fault is il? Not theirs, of course.
They never fall. They look where
they step, and their heads do not turn.

dangerous companions to the green

" That Cursed Drink

Eight young Canadians, whose ages
ranged from seventeen to twenty-four
years, were recently found guilty of an
atrocious crime and were sentenced by
Judge Rose of Ontario to imprisonment
for life. The jury's recommendation
to mercy, the Judge said, was all that
saved them from the death penalty.
The mothers of some of the boys went
to the judge begging for mercy for their
sons. AS one of them was led down
the stairway from the courtroom she
said: MY hoy is not like that. He
could not do it. He would not have in
suited child until he took that cursed
drink with the other two" And so
this was the result of drunken spree,
and through its hellish influence eight
young men in their prime and strength
have blackened their souls with name
less crime and gone to wear out the
long and weary years of life within the
prison walls. And yet the traffic in
that cursed drink " is licensed by ma
tons that profess to be " Christian :"
and the governments of Christendom
are largely supported by revenue de-
rived from its manufacture and sale.
The prisons and Warehouses; of Christ
endom are filled with its victims: and
then cargoes of that cursed drink :"
are sent abroad to debauch, degrade
and damn the wretched heather; and
yet the men who engineer all this
deviishness, instead of being cast out
of society like lepers, or punished like
criminals, sit in the high places of
wealth, power and influence, make
laws, control legislatures, corrupt courts,
and pass for respectable men because
of the wealth they amass by dealing in
"that cursed drink. "-1he Christian.

The Limits of Luxury.

The proper limit at which to draw the
line in personal expenditures is a prob
lem that confronts most thoughtful peo-
pie who recognize that prosperity is in
its very nature responsibility, that privi-
leges are trust, and who study care
fully that balance of forces by which
they may make the most and the best
of themselves without allowing self
culture to 90 on to develop into self
reference. "To have and to enjoy
what one can do without is to choose
one use of money rather than another
use," says an editorial writer in the
current number of the Andorer Rerie,c.
Such choice, if it is made at all in
diligently, has in view ones relations
and obligations to those about him.
Where shall the line be drawn? One
should not dwell within bare walls, nor
subsst on oatmeal and salt fish, nor
wear threadbare clothing, nor decline
to extend and receive hospitality, nor
shut himself up in tread-mill of work
with no respite for pleasure. Modern
life should not be pushed back into
primitive conditions. We cannot be-
come savages, nor frontiersmen, nor
Shakers, nor hermits." The one great
secret of being of use in the world is to
hold power in society. OF course this
power may be diverted from possibili-
ties of good to possibilities of evil.
Force is, in itself, thing to work both
ways. But before there can be re-
sults-or rather, back of the results,
must be this force. To act upon com
munity the most potent force is wide
and varied social sympathies. To have
friends and social relations with all
classes of life is to hold the clue of the
social labyrinth and the prime factor
and power, To this end not poverty of
life or of spirit, but aflluence, rather
tends. When this affluence goes into
the luxury that suffocates, it is dead
weight; when it makes the individual
wiser, stronger, more far-seeing, and
enables him to enlarge and extend his
social relations, it becomes vital force
in social progress.

Liquor i'm Africa.

The widespread misery and desola-
ton which come from the use of intoxi-
eating liquors in Africa is awakening
the people to the matter, and strong
effort is being made to stop its importa-
ton and sale. The last number of the
Missionary Rerie,c says: We are glad
to see several of our prominent mission
sionary oceties-German, British and
American-are earnestly petitioning
their respective governments to adopt
measures for effectually restricting the
importation and sale of liquors in
Africa. We earnestly hope their petit
tons may avail. The Indebtedness and
woe caused in Africa by the importation
of distilled liquors are enough to bring
the condemnation and curse of God on
all who have engaged in this debasing
crime, and on the nations and govern
ments which have tolerated it,
