Time rattle0 on ana brought the night of the clubs first meeting.
 The Blossoms acceptance had been duly sent, and Alexander had been complacently informed that 6 dress suit would be provided. He trusted to his wife implicitly, believing, not that in two months she would create 6 wonderful novel, as ladies 90 easily do-in other novels-but that she would pursue the more useful and perhaps more womanly plan of calling on her father. Men are so tardy in conceding to their wives other than domestic virtues. But one man was about to have his masculine preju- dices swept away. The important night having rolled into Warrensburg, Minnie came dancing down stairs in 4something" the gifted dressmaker "had patched up out of nothing" and consequently bade her dependent hus- band to Acome up and get ready" He went.

Minnie, of course, had obtained the name of her father and sewe0 it on with her own fair hands.
 Alec, with a full heart, donned the suit and stood before the mirror. He cast two careful, comprehensive glances at the trim reflection, clasped

ebriate asylum, was cured, and for a
time did well. The doctor of the in
stitution met him, and his former pa
tent said he drank nothing but beer at
his dinner. "You must stop that"
said the physician; "you can drink
absolutely nothing intoxicating. The
artist failed to heed the order; sure
enough, he relapsed into his old habits
and died.
The methods of carrying on BUSH
ness resorted to by some firms in the
mercantile world lead many men to be-
come excessive drinkers. More than
one-half eff the "drummers, or COM
mercial travellers, in the United States
make it matter of business to treat
their customers to liquor and cigars
1t is not absolutely necessary to pursue
this custom in order to get trade, and
men who are thoroughly businesslike
refuse to use any outside inducements.
But the more ordinary class of drum
mers" do large amount of "treat-
ing" as they believe it helps along
trade.
The expense of treating" goes on
their expense account and is rarely
questioned. Some travellers make a
gross charge for their expenses; others,
in the smaller houses, have an itemized
expense book, with the various items
of expense printed, and q blank space
to put in the amount When they
"treat" the expense is put down to
that account
At certain times of the year the coun-
| try merchant comes to New York to
make purchases and see the STYLES.
| The drummer meets him at the store
and treats him while he is in the city
to dinners and plenty of liquid refresh
ment. In former times some houses
were in the habit of employing spe-
cial man, whose duty it was to meet
the merchants, to take them out and
show them the city.
Some years ago there was q country
pedder who, in his travels, had made
the acquaintance of large number of
business men. He came to New York
and was employed by a big mercantile
house, though ne knew nothing about
the business carried on in the estab-
lishment. His duty was to induce his
friends to patronize the establishment.
Whenever they came to the city he
would meet them and entertain"
them royalty at the expense of his en-
ployers.
With such methods prevailing in GER
tain portions of the mercantile world
it is not surprising that many business
men contract the drinking habit and.
sooner OF later, become excessive
drinkers. Of the six hundred inc
briates in Kings County Asylum above
spoken about. nearly two hundred
were merchants, clerks and salesman.

Direful Effects of Rum.

The worlds history is but the re.
peated story of the fall of nations. Not
one of the mighty empires of the past
is in existence to-day, and rum was
the most potent factor in the decay of
each and every one of them. Drunken
ness is the fruitful parent of the whole
brood of debasing vices, aud the great
nations of antiquity fell through the
destruction of the manhood of their
people through rum and vice. 1t is
the lessons of the annals of the world
that power and wealth give the means
to the people of a nation to indulge
their appetites, and that through that
indulgence inevitably comes the de-
cay of the state. 1t was so with As
syria, with Egypt with Greece, with
Rome, and it will be so with every ma
ton whose flag proudly floats to-day,
including our own loved land, if the
curse of rum is not banished. Wher-
ever rum exists, men will drink it-for
large fraction Of humanity lacks
moral backbone, and is swayed by
passion and by appetite rather than
governed by reason and obedient
to the commands of religion
and the behests of common
sense; and so long as they
drink, intemperance and vice and
crime will abound. Men are subject,
by the eternal law, to the conse-
quences of their own acts; and this is
true of them as individuals and as
communities. Individuals will be
brought down to pauperism, to vice
and to crime, and the Nation will de-
cay in the same proportion. - Toledo
