"A Warning"

IT'S small thing to tas.e, but warn you be-
ware,
Aye, rather go face the wild beast in his lair;
For by courage and tact, you may awe the
fierce brute,
Much easier than drinking when once it takes
root.
The passion for liquor, oh who can control;
When once 1t leads captive the mind and the
soul?
The feyerish thirst and longing desire,
Which feel as the yitals were burning with lre'
The craving which follows night or day,
When the drunkard is from his rotations away
The nervous prostratlon, the shame which DER
The self-despised wretch, when conscience
awakes,
Till urged on by the feeling, the thoughts and
the pain,
He seeks in his cups self.obliyion again.
II sleep is youched safe by night on his bed,
What dreams OF dreaded terror will enter his
head;
But horror of horrors, the fruit of the sin,
When anguish and madness and delerium be-
gin,
Unnamed and unknown are the monsters he
sees,
They roar as lion, they buzz like the bees
They crawl DER his body and pinch him again,
Till he writhes in his anguish, and cries out in
pain,
They mock, and they gibe, and they laugh at
his ear,
Till the sweat rolls in streams. on end stand
his HAIR, G
Tha foul snirits of hall In ,vorst form tbsv ran
take,
Conspre to torment him, and keep him awake,
For sleep, he none now, by day or by night,
But goadod by visions, and wild with alright,
And II not restrained, but few moments will
take,
To end his existence in river or lake.
The hell that we read OF surely must be
Like the hell in the thoughts Of the mania-apo-
tn.
For no tongue can describe, though it moved
free as wind,
The utter despair that sits throned on the mind.
Young man, again tell thee beware,
Be not caught with fashion, like n bird in the
snare,
Though friends they may tempt thee, compan-
ions may hail,
Remember that misery comes in its trail
1t can do you no good, and lit brings sure woe,
IL q cruel, relentless unmerciful fee.
II you have begun to take moderate drinks
Throw oGrthe chain ere it hooks on the links,
Or you'd better have died tho grst hour OF your |
birth,
FOR the life of drunkard is hell upon earth !

LISA good time TO cheaper postage,
never better, What we want
is TO lower the revenue and get rid of
the surplus. The people will be unan-
imously in favor of reduction in the
way of cheaper postal facilities. One
cent an ounce for letters is enough,a all
things considered. The end of the
system should not be revenue, but
spread of intelligence. One cent a
pound for newspapers will exactly
balance the scales in way of price.
1t must come to this, sooner or later,
and the sooner the better. If the
farmer can show good reason why
seeds should travel in the mails at
lower rates, let it be so. But 1t is
high time that governmental express
age were separated from the postal
service. They constitute two distinct
lines of business. A pound of rosin,
or lacks, or turnip seed is not in
telligence. Our postal service is at
present duplex aflair-one half a
merchandise express. The advisa-
bility of governmental express system
is a separate question. Within limits
the people would not be willing to let
it drop.-Globe Democrat.

BANKING AND CURRENCY COMMITTEE.
The Investigation by q subcommittee OF the
House banking and currency committee as to the
relative merits OF the steam and the hand-press
work on Government currency and securities was
continued to-day. Mr.. Russell, Arthur Smalls and
John Braitmeyer, employees OF the Bureau of En-
craving and Printing, testified that the best work
was done by hand presses
Mr.. Mel, formerly superintendent OF the bureau,
using steam presses, but that he had not adopted
them, because he did not think 1t desirable He
said that steam work was not as good; that the
best ink could not be used
Under cross-examination by Mr. Graves Mr.. Mel
said that he was appointed by Secretary Chase to
buy steam presses. IL was at that time he did not
think It expedient. This opinion applied to the
old presses. He did not know anything about the
Ink used In the modern presses (the Miltken) but
he knew that the ink must be thinner
Mr.. Graves asked how he knew tiff he had ex-
amined IT,
He said he had not examined the ink but in
ferred from experience with inks that IL must be
thinner Ia order TO feed His experience with
steaul-presses was during the period OF 1S63-6a.
He said that he judged that the ink was bad by
the looks Of the note.
He said, In reply to a general question as to
whether taking ali matters into CONSIDERATION he
would recommend the use Of steam presses, that
he would not recommend steam presses.
Mr.. Little was the next witness. He had been
employed on both steam and hand presses. He
had also been inspector Of work. He had made
impressions during the time Of Col. Irish by both
steam and hand for purposes Of comparison. He
considered hand work better

the duties heretofore performed by Capt. Griffin.
Capt Leech, who is expected here daily to succeed

have charge or the survey OF the District. With
these two exceptions the duties entirely trans
