An Eloquent Speech

II have been thinking since came
into the meeting tonight, about the
losses I've met with since 1 signed the
total abstinence pledge. 1 tell you
there isn't man in the society has lost
more by stopping drink than what I
have. Wait bit till tell you what I
mean. There was a nice job of work
to be done in the shop to-day, and the
boss called for me. Give it to Law. he
says, he's the best hand in the sbop.,
Well, l told my wife at supper time, and

you the worst. You've lost your bad

At a meeting of the st. Pancrss,
London. Total Abstinence Association,
held few days ago, the president, DR..
Richardson, in the course of his address.
said that Sin England and Wales there
were 100000 of people living either in
state of absolute inebriety or of in
temperate habits, and out of these
something like l 100000 come under the
hands of the police" This is indeed a
deplorable showing of the prevalence of
intemperance in England, and it ought
to draw the attention of her rulers to
the necessity of doing something to
elevate and improve the social and
moral condition of her own population
instead of seeking to crush and degrade
the Irish people.-Irish World.

To the Rescue,

Along the shore when storm clouds fly
The life patrol fares through the night,
Until across the blackened sky
He sees the signal-rocket's flight;
Then clear rings out
His warning shout,
"Ho, mates the life boat for reliefI
A ship has struck upon the reef!''
Upon the storm-swept sea of life
Thy brothers barque sinks meath ths
wave;
And wilt thou leave him to the strife,
Nor even lift thy voice to save?
No! let thy word
For help be heard,
Then with willing hand and heart
In that soul-rescue bear part.
A hundred reefs low hidden lie,
And cruel, cruel are their teeth;
A hundred black cliffs tower high,
With many sunken wreck beneath,
Let not day
Thy work delay,
For while doubt thy mind has crossed
Another precious soul is lost,

From a Minister'S Standpoint,

The example which we, and we are
happy to know the majority of our
ministers, recommend, is absolutely
safe for people to follow, and it is as we
use the means which God has taught
US to use, and let them feel that we are
willing even to deny ourselves for their
sakes, that we may hope to lead them
out of their sinful and soul-destroying
habits to the feet of Jesus, where they
may find pardon and peace in believing.
This is the whole genius of the gospel,
and he possesses the spirit of the Divine
Master in the largest degree who is
willing to make sacrifices, ii need be.
80 that he may win souls.-SeI.

ORIGIN OF SURNAMES.
Many Taken from Places-Others
from Occupations and Per-
sOnal Traits.

Not only countries but counties and
towns were a fruitful source of sur
names, writes Professor N. 81. Egleston.
John from Cornwall became John Corn
wall or Cornish. Richard who lived
near piece of woodland was spoken
of as Richard at or near the wood,
originating the surname Atwood, or
John living near a hill became John
Hill. So with Underhill, Atwell, etc.
John living near a clump of oaks was
John atten oaks, abbreviated into
Noakes; or William who had pitched
his tent or cabin near notable ash tree
was known as William at the ash or
William atten ash, which easily
drifted into Nash. So, too, Thomas
who lived near small stream
Tor in Anglo-SaXon becket)
was Thomas at the becker. and thus
was named the martyr Thomas a
Beckett. The most common termina-
tons of English surnames taken from
places are ford, ham, lea, and ton. Ford
il from the Saxon faran, to go, signify
ing the place where stream could be
crossed.
In the name of Shakspeare's. birth
place we have memento of three diff
feren eras of English history, viz, the
periods of the occupancy by the old
Britons, the Romans, and the Sa1ons.
STRAIT is an abbreviation of strata (street) },
the name by which the great Roman
roads were known. Ford tells us that
one of these roads crossed a stream,
and Avon is the name which the old
Britons or Celts gave to the stream.
The word lea, leigh or leigh, signifying
partially wooded field, served as the
ending of many surnames, such as
Horsley, Cowley, Ashley, Oakley, Lind
ley, and Berkeley, or Birchley. Hay or
haw means hedge, and this was given
as Hayes, Haynes, Haley, Haywood
Halves, Haworth, Hawthorn, Haugh-
ton, or Houghton.
Occupations, too, have affored an
endless army OF surnames. This method
was used by the Romans in such names
as Fadricus (smith). Pictor (painter)
Agricola Garmer), In England a skill
fui hunter would adopt that his sur
name, and equally so with the carpen
ter, joiner, sawyer, baker, or butcher.
Personal traits ard compilations, too
gave rise to surnames. From thu
former we have the ~eues Stout
Strong, Long, Long angfellow
and from the latter lack, etc
Some mental and rats wert
also used to denote z. RicharC
l, of England, ws; known a

Governor Gordon, of Georgia, o
Prohibition.

Prohibition has been tried through
local option in 100 out of 1877 counties of
the State, and I do not know that one
county has gone back on its action. 1
do not hesitate to pronounce the results
good so far as they are concerned. For
Atlanta, it certainly has not damaged
US, and in some very important regards
it has been of most material service to
three classes of our population:
Ito the freedmen, who were in the
habit of spending at the low grog shops
on the outskirts of the city, greater
part and often all their earnings. This
has been much amended. and in addi-
ton this class is far less unruly than
formerly.
2-The laboring white classes are ben
Gifted in the same degree. They now
spend their money in comforts for their
families. The increase in the trade of
the small groc9rs with this class is an
unansWerable argument in its favor.
| 3-The benefit is most marked to
young men who were in the habit of
social drinking about billiard and bar
rooms. l do not by any means wish
to convey the idea that the people OF
Atlanta were more addicted to drink
ing than any other; but it serves as an
illustration, as it is the only city of its
size in which the question has been
fully tested.-SeI.

TEMPERANCE.
BY MISS @. 8. BURNETT.
For THE SUNDAY HERALD.

For THE SUNDAY HERALD.
A leading Ohio paper that has not
heretofore been noticed for its interest
in temperance, thus discourses on the
new license law which permits any one
who can pay $3.50 to open saloon. In
this manner the great wealthy and
Christian State of Ohio was made
partner in the saloon business. If the
latter flourish, the former will be able
to meet its obligations, otherwise not.
Being unable to pay running expenses
with revenue raised In legitimate
way, the Republican Administrator
join hands with the saloons and
promises protection in return for
money. The traffic is no wise regulated
or will it be lessened particle by this
law, and the trainers of the latter did
not intend that it should be. Indeed,
if % per cent. of the liquor sellers were
to quit business they would be disap-
pointed and the end of their plans
would be defeated. That the State of
Ohio should stoop to such practices
should shame her sons and daughters,
who have loved 20 regard her as a
leader in all things pertaining to NOR
atty and Christian advancement.

Her Skin Turned Black.

TOLEDO, OHIO, March 8, 18SS-.Grace
Arlie, beautiful young lady living with
her parents in the Fifth ward, was taken
suddenly ill six months ago, and for sew
eral weeks she suffered from an apparent
attack of typhoid fever. At the end of
the third week bright red spots came out
over her face and limbs and gradually
extended over her entire body. A week
later the spots began to grow dark in
color.
In two months from the time she was
first taken Miss Arlie seemed to have
recovered from the fever and began to
gain in strength, but the condition of her
skin grew worse and worse, until her
body finally became as black as that of a
negro. Meanwhile she regained strength,
and is to-day in full mental vigor.

in South Carolina and kept large mum.
