pounds of lifting during the night, or nearly
eleven millions of ounces, or almost seven
hundred thousand pounds of lifting in a
single year and this by so delicate an organ
or instrument as the human heart. When !
lie down at night without alcohol, that is
the rest my heart gets. But when you take
your wine or your whiskey, OF grog of any
kind, you do not get that rest, for the effect
of alcohol or spirit is to increase the nun ber
of strokes, and instead of getting this rest,
you put on something like fifteen thousand
extra strokes, or some ninety thousand ounces
of extra lifting, in single night; aud the
result is you rise up weak and exhausted,
and unfit for the next days work till you
have taken another drink, which, iu the end,
increases the exhaustion, and rapidly wears
away the life ITSELF"
The young man acknowledged that all
this was perfectly true, though it had never
before struck him in that light. He care
fully reckoned mp the figures, aud finding
what it meant to be lifting up so many extra
thousand ounces whenever he took drink.
he became total abstaner, with every bene.
fit, as he admits, to his purse, his health, and
his happiness.

argument for teetotaism2 Let every young
man ponder it.-Reu. TfyOn Edtcards, D. D.

An Argument for Temperancc.

Richardson, of London, that by a simple
experiment he convinced an intelligent
young man Of tho Importance Of total al.
stinence, when argument or appeal might
have been in vain. The young man was
singing the praises OF the "ruddy bumpr, " as
he called it, aud saying that it not ouly did
him good, but that lie could not get through
the day without it.
Without attempting a direct reply, Dr..
Richardson said, Twill you be goyd eaough
to eel my pulse as am standing here ?"
He did 20, and tie doctor sad .'Colnt il
carefully, and tell me what it says"
Your pulse" was tie reply, beats sev.

The doctor then sat down in IA chair, ami
asked him to count it again. He did 50, aud
said, sit has gone down to seventy"
The doctor then laid himself down on the
lounge, and said, "now count it again"
He did so, and exclaimed, ''why, it is only
sixty-four what an extraordinary thing -
The doctor then said, ''when you lie down
at night, that is the way Nature gives yonr
