THE eoSr OF BRINK.

What does drink cost in human misery :?
Can count The leaves of the forest, or the
sands upon The shore? And the sounds
of this misery are like the signing of the
leaves of illimitable forests, and the FLASHING
on the shores Of unfathomable seas. 1t
costs us millions Of money, myriads of
criminals, thousands of panpcrs, thousands
of ruined women, hundreds of thousands
of men and women goaded by misery into
suicide or madness, with every blossom in
what might have been the garland of their
lives blightcd AS by a Fury's breath. j..

blood Of your brothers and sisters in this

drank after working hours, and his fami-
,1y Don became aware that he was on the
downward road.
His business suffered. His workmen
were paid less punetually. Notes matur-
ed which he could not pay, and his Gu
dorser was called upon to meet the de-
mands. His creditors closed up his bust
ness. He was bankrupt. while the friend
who had done so much for him was great
ly embarrassed.
He had lost all except his skill as a me-
chanic. 1t had often been said of him
that he could do more work than any two
men he could hire, so that he could east
ly earn q competency. But he did not do
this. He would work for a few days, and
then drink until Lis money was exhaust
ed. Appeals were made to him in vain.
He seemed to have lost all power to con-
troll the appetite which had overmastered
and was fast running him.
Later, when bereft Of one after another
of his family, there were times when he
would abstain from liquor for weeks and
even, months; but with each relapse he
sank lower, until he became a wanderer
and vagabond, dying at last in a county

NAKED

We often hear the expression 'naked
truth used to give force to the truthful
ness of a statement. The expression is
probably used by many who have no idea
Of its origin and who can give 10 s~atisfac-
tory reason why truth, naked, can be more
truthful. The expression is n redundant
one, as truth is truth and can not be more
so whether naked or clothed. It's origin is
probably in an old legend to the effect that
Truth once wore beautiful robes, while
Falsehood went clothed in tattercd gar
ments. 1t happened upon a time that
Truth and Falsehood were bathing together
when Falselood. ever ready to take adj
vantage, first retired from the water and
ROBBED herself in Truths icweled garments.
When Truth came to reinvest herself she
could find only F~alsehood's filthy rags.
Sooner than wear these she resolved to go
unelothod. Hence her enemies called her,
in the way of dcrision, NAKED Truth"

URIM AMI TIrUM MINI.

And thou shalt put in the breastpIatc of
judgement, the Trim and Thummim, and
they shall he upon Aaron's heart when he
goeth in before the Lord.-Edodus xviii. 30.
"Urim and Tlnmmim'-ofthese words,
light and truth is the translation given
in the ~ynlsatc; but light and perfection
would probably be The best English equiv
alent.
Seeing the Trim and Thummim are
mentioned with no description or expla-
nation, we must infer that they and their
meaning were already known, if not to
the other Israelites, at least to Moses. And
if We are to look for theii origin anywhere,
it must be in the customs and symbolism
of Egypt. And here We find at once q
patent nRd striking a~ndlogy. The priestly
Judges Of Egypt, With whose presence and
garb Moses must have been familiar, wore,
each of them, hanging on his neck, sus-
pended on Il golden chain, a figure which
Greek writers describe as an image of
truth, often will. closed eyes, made some
times of sapphire or other precious stones,
and therefore, necessarily small. They
were to see in this a symbol Of the purity
of motive, without which they would be
unworthy Of their Office. With it they
touched the lips of the litigant as they
bate him speak the truth. the whole
truth, the perfect truth.
This custom was OF very ancient origin;
it is set forth ON the Older monuments of
Egypt. There round the neck Of the
Judge are seen the two figures of Thmci
CFhummim), representative Of truth, JUS
ticc. On the breast of well-nigh every
member OF the priestly caste of Egypt
there hung II pectoral plate, corresponding
in position and in size to the ch0sheh or
breastplatc OF the high priest of Israel.
And in many Of these we find, in the cen
ire OF the p%ccto3ale, right over the heart OF
the priestly Mummy, as the Trim was to
be son the heart" of Aaron, what was
n known symbol of flight. In that symbol
were united and embodied the highest relig-
ious thoughts to which man had then risen.
1t represented the sun and the universe,
light and life, creation and resurrection
pSilioi, Hi-S, i'i, Hi|"h
ing, everything answers the conditions of
the problem = = \ The high Priest,
in the use OF the Urim and Thummim,
fixing his gaze on ''the gems oracular'
that lay ''on his heart" fixed his thoughts
on the light and perfection whicl, they
symbolized; on the holy name inscribed on
them. The act was itself 4 prayer, and
like other prayers, it might be answered.

AND JUDY, Is DEERADING.

No sane parent would paper IL ehild's
bedroom With representations OF murders
and executions from the Police gazette,
and vet the exhibition OF Punch and Judy
offers this and nothing more, and does it
in the pernicious form of action instead of
picture. From beginning to end the per-
Torrance has not one r~cdccming trait. All
the fun lies in the fact thai Pnneh success
siycly knocks on the read or Use
slaughtcrs his baby. his wife, the doctor,
the policeman, the servant, and such others
as the varying ingenuity of the operator
may introduce; that he counts the corpses
over. hustles them about, and stufls them
into collins with every form of irreverence;
that for these offences he is haunted ny
ghosts, executed by hangmen, and drag
red down by demons. 1t is not strange that
there should be city precincts so degraded
that this sort of thing should just meet the
public taste. In the old time Seven Dials
of London or Five Points of New York it
might seem at home, and perhaps be re-
earded as a moral exhibition. The strange
thing is that it should be selected by re-
fined and high minded parents for the de-
lectation of innocent children amid the

The following is from the Philadelphia
Press Of Sept. 2sth
LEBANON, Sept. q. The Annsilie Pro-
hibitien Club, of which Professor |. "
Sheath is chairman, had a sorry experience
at Jamestown to-day. A meeting after
many Interruptions, organized abont dusk
in the public square, and Rev. Dr.D 2. De
Long, president of Lebanon Valley Col
leac. arose TO address the large audience
assembled. Scarcely had he begun when
The Jamestown Brass Band, which is snip
posed to have been employed by the liquor
men. broke in upon him with lis loud
music. DIR. De Long, however, pinekily
held on until tie band desisted III disgust.
Then the speaker began to ~criticise the
Republican party and General Beaver,
declaring the latter TO be friendly 60 the
liquor men. This acted upon the mob
like a red flag on a bail.
Headed by a fellow who declared him
self to be Titus s. Rank, chief burgess of
the town, eight or ten liquor sellers pushed
through the crowd, aud, pressing close TO
the wagon from which Df. lie Long was
speaking. assaulted him with a yeliey Of
oaths and curses. which nonplnsed him
for the moment Then he protested, but
his protests were answered by a threat
from the Chief Burgess that he would ride
the whole party out Of town on a rail If
hey didn't leave in half an hour. At
his moment the lights were extinguishcd
by some one. In lear Of his life President
De Long lcalsd from the wagon. and
with his ~comIatriots, fed precipiiafels IN
the darkness, followed by a shower Of
pebbles and stones and the jeers Of the
mob.

FACTS IN MENTAL HERE'

In scientific education We find many IN
and son of Aristotle were both authors.
The father a physician. Cassini, the ceie-
brated astronomer, SAW in his own family
an unbrokcn inheritance from HIMSELF down
to the great grandson, of high mentality,
OF desire for knowledge. Through five
generations this family was distinguished
for scientific a~tiainments. Sir William
Herschel too, saw his sister, his son and
grandsons reach frame and fortune through
the line of inheritance of intellect. The
study Of eminent men and women with
their ancestral bias, is most profitable.
Take. for instance, Emerson with his
eight generations of talented ancestors.
Here ''the sum Of the ancestral forces"
resulted in the greatest philosophical mind
of this age. Lucrctia Mott, whose name
sends a thrill of strength coursing through
the veins OF every woman who is doing
what she can For God, and Home. aId
Native Land, is another Of the results of
grand ancestral forces, and the mother Of
Lamartlnc, who each evening recorded
the experiences of the day as well as her
reflections. As her sol states, this habit
Of registering her own soal produced Il to
20 volumes of intimate communion betwe cen
herself and God, which | have been fort
innate enough To keep. and in which ! find
her again all alive and loving when ! feel
the want of taking refuge once more in
her bosom"
OF Monica, the mother Of the hayward
boy who afterward became the great father
Of the Latin church. This mother. to
whom st. Ambrose, the bishop Of Milar,
said she was grieying over the moral de
linaiencies of her son: sit is not possible
thai the child of snch a mother should
perish" has left an example of encourage
ment and benediction to the Christian
mothers OF all ages. No historian studies
st. Augustine, but recognizes the mother
power in him. Study heredity in noted
people now living SO that you may have
the advantage of full ancestral history.
and let us from thist time enter an absolute
protest against amy biography or history
which does not include the maternal anees-
try.-Ndry Weeks Burnett, II. ID.
