Under the curse, man has two
worlds and woman only one; he iran
sacks the ages, spoils the climes, )"
then comes back. to her world and finds
her waiting. Under the blessing,
man and woman go hand in hand
wherever they are called to go at all.
Under the curse, man has his standard
of morality, based on the prerogatives
of force prevailing in his world; I'M
der the blessing, man and woman
have one and the same standard, bas'
ed on the truth that the body is the
temple of the Holy Ghost, and that
this is not dual world with different
codes. Under the curse, man has
mapped out the State as his largest
sphere, and the Home as woman s
largest; under the blessing, man and
woman shall map out Home as the one
true State, and she who, during CEN
turtles of training, has learned how to
govern there shall help man make the
great, cold, heartless State a warm,
kind, and protecting home. The
White Ribbon women are tired of this
unnatural two worlds in one. where
men and women dwell apart; they
would invade the solitude of the mas
culine intellect; break in upon the
stereotyped routine of the masculine
hierarchy in Church and State; and
ring out in clear but gentle voices the
oft-repeated declaration of the Master
whom they serve. Behold, make all
things ew."-[Frances E. Willard.

A Few Outlines in Practical Economy.
r. b. HAZARD,

r. b. HAZARD,
Principal of High School at Prescott, Wis.
The formal study Of political economy
can not properly find place in common
schools. For the power of nice discrim-
nation demanded in this science, de-
gree of mental maturity not to be ex-
pected in schools below the grade of the
university, is required. Still the import
ance and the every day interest of many
of the topics belonging to political econo-
my render it desirable that our young
people should not leave the district school
in total ignorance of the Science of
Wealth" 1t is'hoped that the following
outlines may be found useful by teachers
wishing to interest their pupils in these
important subjects. They may be used
as topics for essays by pupils, or for gen
eral exercises.

Coming across the following strong

it TO you, it being good material to use
&c.
sDrunkards are classed in Revela-
ton as future inhabitants of eternal

with robbers. Drunkards should be as
much ostracised as thieves. They
should be turned out of the family cir

CIV should be shown them. consider
il one of the greatest sins, that we
have shown so much. "
How about drunkard makers, and

ministers of the gospel who advocate
M, ans by which drunkards may be
male! Should they not "be turned
ont of the family circle, and Stunned
like lie pers," and shown no mercy!
IF drunkards are such miserable
specimens of humanity, deserving no
mercy. surely those who in any way
make drunkards are to be likewise de-
spised. Moderate drinking is very dan
Serious. unless man has an iron will
he is very apt to fall and be ruined.
DIR. Crosby advocates the moderate
use of wine and beer.
This leads to drunkenness. Then he
d euounces drunkards, and says that

flow inconsistent is such a position!
1t is advising a man to take course
that W i'll make him drunkard, and
tben after he becomes a drunkard, say
inc that he should be turned out of
the family circle and Stunned like a
leper." 1t is about like saloon-keep'
or urging a young man to take a drink,
telling him it will not hurt him, and
when his money is all gone, dragging
him out doors and kicking him.
The difference is in the social stand

DIR. Crosby says that he considers il
one of our greatest sins that we have

AGRICULTURE's EFFECT Upon CLIMATES.
The effect of the cultivation of the soil
upon the climate has been practically ex.
hibited in the far Southwest, where the hot
winds which prevail burn up the vegetation
and prevent the growth OF crops. This OBJ
stace to agricultural progress has been grad
ually pushed back to the borders Of Colorado
from Central Kansas by the breaking of the
ground and the growth of crops. 1t is ia.
tai warfare to the pioneers, who are swept
away in the strife with the hot winds just as
charging line disappears before the fire of
au intrenchei enemy, hut the supporting
line succeeds in Gis)odging the enemy and
holds the fort. SO the second line plants
itself firmly upon the ground from which
he pioueers have been driven, and thus the
line advances. The cause Of the difficulty
and the means fits removal are simple. The
hard beaten surface is heated By the suns
rays to very high degree, the wi6ds absorb
this heat, and blowing over the adjacent
cultivated land, take all the moisture from
1t end destroy the growing crops. By this
absorption of moisture the winds are cooled,
and, PAGING on with their load of yapor as
they cool, they precipitate it in showers. As
tho line of cul walton advances, the process
enes on, changing the climate and permit
ting the growth Of crops on gradually ed
line.-- NeiU YORK: Times

LEXANDRIA.
FRIDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 81.

oessity ,or the enactment of law that Will
prevent the negroes of the State from ln'imi
dating those oftheir own race who may DE
sire 10 vote the democratic ticket, and from
making it "hoL" for the few who have the
temerity to vote that ticket. Such neces-
sitc does not exist. In the first place, the
election laws OF tie State are already IS
rigorous and as perfect on paper as they
we'll can be, certainly so complete that no
improyement could be expected from the
present legislature in the second place, lew
negroes want to vote the democratic ticket,
and in the third, the evil complained ct can
not be remedied by law, as it is supported
by almost every negro in the country, man,
" man and Child as thewbo(e moral power OF
the race in the United States isexerted 10 Its
favor, and as the few who stand up against
II not only suffer at, but before and after
q ectons. and are considered pariabs by
their own race and even by their own taml'
