ment and to great fret. There are so
many different opinions about what are
personal charms; and then sickness, and
trouble, and age, do make such ravages.
The poorest god that a woman ever wor-
ships is her own face. The saddest sight
in all the world is a woman who has built
every thing on good looks, when the
charms begin to vanish. o, how they try
to cover the wrinkles and hide the raw
ages of time! When time, with iron shod
feet, steps on a face, the hoof-marks re-
main. and you can not hide them. 1t is
silly to try to hide them. / think the
most repulsive fool in the world is an old
fool!
Why, my friends, should you be ashamed
to be getting old? 1t is a sign-it is prima
facie evidence that you have behaved toll
eraby we'll, or you would not have lived
to this time. The grandest thing, think,
is eternity, and that is mads mp Of count
less years. When the Bible would set
forth the attractiveness of Jesus Christ,
it says: His hair was white as snow"
Bnt when the color goes from the cheek,
and the luster from the eye, and the spring
from the step, and the gracefulness from
the gait, alas! for those who have built
their time and their eternity upon good
looks. But all the passage of years can
not take out Of ones face benignity, and
kndness, and compassion, and faith.
Culture your heart and you c-:t1re your
face. The brightest glory that ever
beamed from woman's face is the religion
Of Jesus Christ. In the last war two hum
dred wounded soldiers came to Philadel-
phia one night, aud came unheraled, and
they had to extemporizs q hospital for
them, and the Christian women of my
church and of other churches went out
that night to take care of the poor wound

New Workers Receive Some Telling Facts
From An Earnest Woman.
A large audience in Cooper Union,
New York, recently, listened to an able
address by Mrs. Ella Boole. who made
deep impression upon her hearers.
She commenced by telling the follow
ing anecdote:
IA man and pig once lay down to-
gether beside ditch and began to
slumber. The man was drunk. the pig
was sober. The man grunted, so did
the pig. The man had a ring on his
finger, the pig had a ring in his nose.
A passerby, seeing the two, exclaimed:
we are known by the company we
keep Hearing this remark the pig
glanced contemptuously at his human
companion, elevated his snout in the
air, curled his tail disdainfully and
trotted away"
The roar of laughter which greeted
this little story must have convinced
the lecturer, that her audience had a
fit sense of humor and would not fail
to appreciate her ringing and withal
humorous denunciation of rumshops
and their owners.
Use the little white ballot discreet.

mo matter how badly off working
men may be they always take care to

of his saloon.
1.-The labor question is great one,
and only wish all workingmen would
join the women of the Temperance
Union in their attack on the liquor in
terests. Boycott the saloon!'
Earnestly, pathetically and with
much apt use of gesticulation the
speaker told of the havoc which has
been wrought in thousands of Ameri-
can homes by rum and kindred spirits,
and equally earnestly, though in very
humorous vein, she described the
gradual results of drink on an individ.

ness and vacuity of thought and speech,
and ends by making its victim utterly
brutal and debased. To the question,
'The saloon-keepers are minding their
business, why don't you mind yours?'

evil was every ones business, and that

Wrecked by Strong Drink.

Last Saturday night man of about
twenty-three years Of age was taken to
one of the local police stations in New
York City, charged with stealing from
little children who were running err
rands for their parents. When asked
for his name by the captain behind
the desk he burst out crying and
stated that he did not care to give it,
as he did not wish to disgrace his pa
rents name. who were dead.
The officer who made the arrest
stated that three years ago his father
died, leaving him $500. 900. At that
time he was young man just leaving
school, and bad company, rum-shOps
and gambling soon caused his fortune
to melt away.
To imagine man who had such q
large fortune . few years ago as he
appeared before the desk would be al
most impossible. His clothes were
dirty and ragged, hair unkempt, face
covered with sores. and would remind
one Of person who slept in an ash cart.
When asked for his occupation bis
answer was that he was employed in
liquor store a. . "cleaner-out," and
stated further that it was in the
store where he is now employed. his
wages being few drinks day. that
