Be Temperate.

Young man, you are starting out in
life; you have, as it were, two paths
before you; the one is the path of vir-
tue and happiness, the other of misery
and woe. 1t is yours to choose which
path you will travel. If you choose the
first, you may have a happy home and
be surrounded by friends; if you choose
the latter, it may seem pleasant path
at first, but at last poverty and shame
will stare you in the face. If you de-
sire to travel in the first path, abstain
from what can intoXicate and ruin you !;
if you desire to travel in the latter
path, frequent the dram-shop, drink
the fiery poison, and you have fair
start on the road to destruction. 1t is
at the dram-shop that men start on the
road to the alms-house, the jail, lunatic
asylum, inebriate asylum, and many to
the gallows. Young man, every dram
shop is a snare of Satan; if you go
there, you are in danger of being
caught. Shun it. Some young men
think that it makes them look more
like men to have cigar in their mouth,
and be found spending their time at
(what are termed first-class saloons.
They think that they drink like gentle
men when they drink in these fine
agencies of Satan, but that is impos-
sible. They will sooner or later be-
come drunkards. Young men, if you
would be happy, keep away from the
dram-shop. If the young men of the
land would help the temperance cause,
temperance would soon be the motto
of every true American man. Young
man, give this worthy cause your aid
it is needed to crush this monster evil.

Temperance.
Spirits and Digestion.

With respect to the action of spirit
on digestion, experiments were madC
with "proof spirits " and with brandy
Scotch whiskey and gin; and the con
clusion is that, so far as salivary digesI
ton is concerned, these spirits retard
the digestive process. 1t was noticed,
in these experiments that brandy and
whiskey interfered with the digestive
process, precipitated the starch mor@
readily, altogether out of proportion I'd
the amount of alcohol they contained
and brandy was worse than whiskey|
And this circumstance appears to I'D
due to certain others and volatile oild
in them; and brandy contains a tracd
OF tannin, which has an intensely rel
tarding influence on salivary digestionl
With regard to "peptic" digestion, tho
results are still more surprising. II
was found that with ten per cent and
under of proof spirits there was no APP
preciable retardation, and only slight
retardation with twenty per cent; but
with large percentages it was very
different, and with fifty per cent the
digestive ferment was almost paralvzed.
In the proportions to which these spir.

not only do they not appreciably retard
digestion, but these experiments show
that they act as pure stimulants to gas
trio digestion, causing an increased flow
of gastric juice and stimulating The
muscular contractions of the stomach
and so accelerating the speed of thu

ence of these ardent spirits on digestion

Fathers and Mothers.

Are you engaged in the effort to over
throw the rum fiend? If not, why not?
Have you ever considered who will fur
nish support to the saloons ten years
hence, if they are not soon vanished
from our land? If you will give this
matter a moments thought you will
perceive that the saloon support of the
future must of necessity come from the
boys of to-day. This being the case,
you surely cannot be indifferent, since
YOU know that some of the saloon sup
port may come from your boys. Would
you avert such calamity? Then exert
yourself to the enactment and enforce
ment of prohibition laws. Do not
stand idle when so much depends upon
your being up and doing what you can
to save your own or your neighbours

Country and City.

The great hope of our country is in
the rural population-in the farmers,
mechanics and laborers who breathe
the pure air of the country, away from
the poisonous influences found in and
around the cities and large towns.
These men have no sympathy with the
thievish and murderous fellows that
collect, conspire, threaten and destroy
in the great centers of population.
Without continual accessions from the
country, city populations would die out
in about three generations, and that
the cities are dependent largely upon
the protection afforded by the people OF
the country for the preservation of good
order and public safety is becoming
more and more vident.-Presbyteriail

The Church Tie.

The church tie, next to that of the
home, should be the closest on the
earth. When one, two or five hundred
Christian people are associated together
in the same church no guild or frater-
nifty in this world should be so closely
knit as that society, or compose so real
brotherhood. 1t should be in the
truest sense mutual help association.
Each member should know that if he is
sick he will receive such ministrations
of kindness as he may need; that if he
is in trouble he will be sure of sympa-
thy and aid; that if sorrow come to his
home he will have all the comfort the
most human friendship can give; that
if he is in sore stress of any kind he
will not be left to sink beneath his
burden, but will find brotherly hands
outstretched to him. - Philadelphia

The Ministry.

The Christian ministry is worthy of
the highest honor. 1t should preserve
becoming dignity, but It is the dignity
springing from holiness of character.
In becoming Christian minister one
does not cease to be Christian man.
Those do the minister and his calling
rankest injustice who would mount
him on pinnacle of propriety merely as
the exponent of code of ethics, for
bidding to him any participation in
general orpublic movements of benevo-
lence, lest he be soiled by contact with
the people. This were to class him
with the priest and Levite, who passed
by on the other side, and could scarce
look on suffering humanity lest they
should be defiled.-Norh Carolina

only occupied one-half of the said premises,
and did not exclude the said Best from oc-
cupying the same, that he did what he had
a right to do, and that he was not charge

that said appointment need not be by con-
tract, but depended upon privity of es-

WE suppose everybody who is labor
ing for more law to restrict the liquor
traffic desires the law that it may di-
minish intemperance. There may be

drunkenness increased under prohib-

right, they would care for nothing else.
But if there be any such we trust their
number is limited -LdiC and order.

With weary, faltering feet.

If we but trust and pray,

Walks with us day by day.
