themselves as moderate drinkers"
there are two special classes of them
which bear no resemblance to each
other, except in the one solitary crcum-
stance that they never at any time take
sufficient to intoXicate themselves.
The one class is that which only par
takes of stimulants while eating; the
other INDUCES in them between meal
times. To the latter habit is applied in
this country the title of nipping,"
while in the East it is spoken of as
pegging" And this is the most per-
nicious of all forms of drinking, from
the fact that stimulants taken without
at the same time partaking of food,
though only imbibed in small quaint
ties at a time, have most deleterious
effects on the internal organs. A man
who habtually INDUCES in single glass
of sherry in the forenoon, a brandy
and-soda in the afternoon and a glass
of whskey-and-wate in the course of
the evening, does far more injury to his
constitution than one who partakes of
a larger quantity of alcoholic stimulants
at meal-time.-GeOrge Harley, Md,

Modern Life i'm Modern Art.

But contemporary life is so ugly a
poetical person can not endure it. Con-
temporary life ugly! when natural Sc
lection has beautified the race, when
the gymnasium has improved your
figures, when your dress-maker comes
to you from Paris and your gowns fit
you like glove? 1t was an American
woman, wasn't it, who said that when
she was very well dressed, in the
knowledge of that circumstance she
experienced a consolation which it was
not in the power of religion to bestow?
Yet contemporary life is'' ugly" What
did Turner think of the facts of every-
day life and of the innovations of his
time? We owe to him Grain, Steam
and Speed, the Great Western Railway
He painted the market-place and the
polling-booth; he painted the burning
of the houses of parliament; he painted
the clustering mill chimneys of Leeds,

Impressive drawings in his Southern

Mont Blanc Revisited.

o Mount beloved mine eyes again
Behold the twilight's sangune stain,
Along thy peaks expire;
o Mount beloved thy frontier waste
] seek with a religious haste
And reverent desire.
They greet me midst thy shadows cold
Such thoughts by holy men of old
Amidst the desert found;
Such gladness as in him they felt,
Who with them, through the darkness dwelt,
And comprised all around.
Oh, happy II his will were so,
To give mama here for snow,
And, by the torrent.sde,
To lead me, as he leads his fiocks
OF wild deer through the lonely rocks,
In peace, unterrified.
Since from the things that trustful rest
The partridge on her purple nest
The marmot in his den
God wins worship more resigned,
A purer praise than he can find
Upon the lips of men.
Alas for man who hath no sense
OF gratefulness or confidence,
But still rejects and raves;
That all Gods love can hardly win
One soul from taking pride in sin
And pleasure over graves.
Yet let me not, like him who trod
In wrath, of old, the Mount of God
Forget the thousands left
Lest, haply, when l seek his face,
The whirlwind of the cave replace
The glory of the cleft
And teach me, God. milder thought,
Lest l, of all thy blood has bought,
Least honorable be;
And this that moves me to condemn,
Re rather want of love for them,
Than Jealousy for thee.

sour Southern Masters"

Senator Chandler has prepared an
article for the July Forum to induce
the north to undeceive itself, for g the
south is in the saddle and it means
to stay there" He states the situation
thus: "The south which, during more
than half a century, dominated the ma
ton by means of slavery and the power
which slavery gave, has, after period
OF rebellion caused by slavery and a
period of reconstruction prolonged by
crimes against the freedmen, again
seized the reins of government, and
has rewarded itself for its rebellion by
increased representation in congress
and in the body of electors which
chooses president. The north is sup
posed to have conquered. The Union
is saved in form. The fourteenth and
fifteenth amendments are a dead letter,
openly and flagrantly disobeved. Suf-
frage at the south for the black man
does not exist, for the white man even
1t is almost farce. A few leaders in
each state, combining with similar
lotteries in other states, form an oil
garchy which yields the whole political
power of the solid south. United with
the democratic party of the north, who
expect to control by corruption or fraud,
few northern states, their 'plan of
campaign is exactly what it was be-
fore 1860. Our modern southern mas
tiers are not different from those of
former years. They are able, always
alert, and whenever not opposed are
plausible, courteous and full of kind
and patriotic professions; resisted, their
gentleness proves like that of tigers
they become fierce and defiant, some
times brutal.''

Dividing the Spoil.

THE satisfaction of seeing Justice
meted out to mean person is so great,
that very often man will undergo
much suffering himself, if by that means
punishment may be brought to the
guilty one. Men of this character seem
to read the Golden Rule after this wise
"Do unto yourselves as We would that
men should do unto others.'
The Marquis de la Scales, a very
wealthy nobleman, had invited his
neighbors to grand entertainment,
and proposed that the feast with which
he served them should lack no delicacy
that could be obtained. Some of the
guests who had arrived early, for the
purpose of paying their respects to the
marquis, were present in his chamber
when his steward came in and said that
a fisherman had brought some of the
finest fish in all Italy, but demanded a
most extraordinary price.
No matter about the price" said
the marquis; buy the fish and pay
him the money"
$50 | would" said the steward
but he refuses to take money"
Then what does he want?'
"A hundred strokes with a whip.
and he says he will not throw off a
single blow" The whole company
hereupon ran downstairs to see what
sort of fisherman it was who de-
manded so singular price for his fish
"These are beautiful fish," said the
marquis. "COme, my man, how much
money do you want for them?"
g Not penny, my lord" said the
fisherman. " will not take money:
if you wish to have the fish you must
order me hundred lashes on my bare
back, otherwise shall apply else
where"
Rather than lose the fish, said the
marquis, /" we must let this fellow have
what he asks. Here!" he cried to one
of his grooms, "pay this man his hun
dred lashes, which he so honestly de-
mands, but don't lay them on too hard {;
don't hurt him very much"
The fisherman stripped for the whip
ping, and the groom prepared to do
his masters bidding.
" Now, my FRIEND" said the fisher
man, keep the account correctly, l
beg of you; for l don't want stroke
more than is my due"
The whole company were astOnished
at the bravery with which the man bore
the infiction, until he had received the
fiftieth lash.
Then he cried out:
" Hold, my friend, | have had my
full share of the price now"
Your share!' exclaimed the mar
quis; " what do you mean?n
" L have partner, my lord, to whom
| promised full half of whatever
got for my fish, and l think your lord
ship would say that it would be shame
to deprive him of single stroke"
" Who is your partner?'''
" Your porter, my lord, who keeps
the outer gate. He refused to admit
me to the grounds until l had prom
ised him half of what l should get for
the fish,"
"Ho, ho!" said the marquis, "that
is the sort of business, is it? Well,
you have had your pay, and now, in
deed, your partner shall have the other
half"
The dishonest porter received the
payment in full measure, and the mar
quis sent the fisherman away with a
handful of money.

May do for a stupid boys excuse but
what can be said for the parent who
sees his child languishing daily and fails
to recognize the want Of tonic and
blood-purier? Formerly, a course of
bitters or sulphur and molasses, was the
rule in well-regulated families but now
all intelligent households keep Ayers
Sarsaparilla, which is at once pleasant
to the taste, and the most searching and
effective blood medicine ever discovered.
Nathan S. Cleveland, 81 T.. Canton st.,
Boston, writes My daughter, now II
years old, was in perfect health until
year ago when she began to complain of
fatigue, headache, debility, dizziness,
Indigestion, and loss of appetite. ] con-
cluded that all her complaints originated
in impure blood, and induced her to take
Ayers Sarsaparilla. This medicine soon
restored her bloOd-making organs to
healthy action, and in due time reestab-
lished her former health. ] find Ayers
Sarsaparilla a most valuable remedy for
the lassitude and debility incident to
spring time"

PECULIAR in the combination, proportion
and preparation of its ingredients, Hoods
Sarsaparilla accomplishes cures where other
preparations entirely fail. Peculiar in its
good name at home, which is tower of
strength abroad peculiar in the phenom-
email sales it has attained, Hoods Sarsapa-
rilla is the most successful medicine for
purifying the blood, giving strength and
creating an appetite.
