influence of the Saloon.

There is at present in this great
country of ours power which is not
as potent, perhaps, as that of a kingly
tyrant, but a power that is more dead
ly in its influence upon that which is
the foundation of all our institutions,
the American home. The liquor traffic,
the influence to which | refer, has cer-
tainly worked its way into the homes;
you find the evidences of it in the
neglectful father, the brutal husband,
the poorly-clad children. l say it is
our duty as men who enjoy the benefits
of religious and civil liberty to counter
act and destroy this influence.
would say in all sincerity to all Tenn
perance men: Keep up the fight in
which we are engaged and brighter
day will dawn upon us. When we
have achieved the victory all will
really enjoy that civil and religious
liberty which is the heritage of Amer
lean freemen.-L WASHINGTON LOgsIe.

TEMPERANCE ITEMS.

ALCOHOL develops the worst kind of
consumption. Peoples Health Journal.
In the opinion of Hanlan, the cham
pion sculler, 1.-The best physical per-
Torrance can only be secured through
abstinence from use of alcohol and to-
bacco."
THE best fire in winter is made up of
exercise, and the poorest of ,DhiSky. He
that keeps warm on liquor is like %
man who pulls his house to pieces to
feed the fireplace.
THERE is hospital in Chicago which
contains the following article in it's
constitution: "All medicines used in
the hospital must be prepared without
alcohol, and all physicians accepting
positions on the medical staff of the
hospital or dispensary must pledge
themselves not to administer alcohol
in any form to any patient in the hos
pital or dispensary, nor to call in the
counsel for such patients any physician
who will advise the use of alcohol.

Misguided benevolence has its we'll
known faults. We know the benevo-
lence that does not Help man to
help himself is not beneicent. We
know that nothing is at its best which
puts needless obligations upon the
beneficiary. We know that to produce
merit is at least as good as to find it;
that to augment it is better that merely
to reward it; that its best rewards are
simple recognition, encouragement,
and opportunity; and that even in CIV
ing these, all gratuitousness is danger
Gus; and, especially, that there are
great risks in all sudden abundance.
Benevolence has learned that even in
social science there is room and need
for sentiment, but that sentiment must
follow and obey reason, not lead and
rule it. All these things we know by
heart, and yet our failures go on.
Some say that charity has still too
much sentiment. But in fact it has
not yet enough. Some say that it has
taken on too much science. But really
it has not enough. There ought to be
nolack of sentiment in the word science
Yet many regard science as something
that complexities simple things, where's
it simplifies complex things. If science
deals with complex things, SO does
every other province of human life:
but our mental Incidence loosely treats
complexities as though they were sim
pie, and science as the breeder of CON-
pleXities. Human benevolence still
needs more scientific thoughtfulness
to see completely of things too often
thus far treated as simple, and a
greater depth of sentiment to remem-
ber it. Our efforts are still crude

ARTIFICIAL LANGUAGES.
Rivals of voIapuk That Have Found Ad
Inirers in Many Countries.

Rivals OF NOiapuk Ihat Have Found Al
Inircrs in Many Countries.
Every cultivated language shows
more or less of art in its construction
but it is unconscious art. Some recent
attempts to frame universal LANGUAGE
are made without any concealment of
artificial contrivance. The inventors
of these strange tongues seem to take
pride in their ingenious schemes.
Readers have seen numerous notices
of Volapuk, one of the candidates for
universal favor. The name illustrates
well the formation of the language
It is formed from the German Voh
people, and the English word, speech
The material is taken chiefly from En-
glish, French and German, but the
parts are worked down good dealbe-
fore they are put together again.
1t may not be so generally kroyy
that already several rivals to YelasT.'
have appeared. The most prominsn
of these is PaSilingua, which differs
from the former in taking its matria
from the Greek and Latin languages.
Its name is compounded of the Creek
Pas, all, and the Latin ljngua, meaing
tongue or language. The name midi
Gates language for all, or the Ian
guage of all; almost perfect synnym
for Volapuk. A comparison of the
two tongues will show wherein they
differ. Thus: What o'clock is it? is in
Volapul "Du, ki0lia UinoS?n
In Pasilingua the question is: "Qlotd
bora er al?''
Where do you live? is in Volapuk
"Kjplacc lodens?" in Pasilingua: "Ub
bajitir$ htS?"
Not even do these two complete sys
TENS have the field all to themselves
A more recent dialect, for that is what
it is, appears under the name Spein
Some explanation may be needed t.
show that this name is formed from
Pasilingua, and has nothing whatever
to do with spelling. The syllable In
represents in more lazy way thar
lingo the word ijngUa; but pc is I
5Ioyenly representation OF Pas, and the
prefix as a sign of a collective noun il
no Improvement upon the methods o
the most highly infected languages.
There is still another system devised
for universal use, which is called Lin
gUalumjna. This name is clearly de
scriptive, and means the language o
light. Whether it really possesses any
light of its own depends upon the ac
quaintance the person who uses it may
have with the languages from which it;
elements are taken.
In fact, here is the difficulty with
every one of the systems PROPOSE
Those who devise them are familiar
with all the languages upon which they
draw for material, and to their view
the meaning of their speech is plain
but those who know only one language
find it requires about the same study tC
learn Volapuk, for example, as to learn
a foreign tongue. While these expert.
ments are being carried on, it is en-
couraging to note that the English Ian
guage is gaining ground as rapidly as

The wild birds sing its vesper song

Upon the night airs fragrant breath
Is borne along.
The shadows deep and deeper grow;
The winds are low;
The distant mountaiu-tops have caught
The western glow.

That deck the Sky,
There bursts n light from shining realms

Fade not away,
But send us, from yon golden heights,
A parting ray

ABOUT MARRIAGE FEES AND

A Young stranger called on DIR.

a pastor in New York City, to engage

turns out as / think she will, Eli
then give you fifty dollars"
They agreed, the young couple
were married, and the incident pass
oil from the doctors mind. At the
end of year, at the same time In
the evening, the young man called
again. The doctor did not recog-
nize him at first.
do YOU remember the bargain we
made when you married me year
ago"
"Oh YES" replied the doctor.
Well" said the young man, "she
is twice as good rs thought she
was. There's one hundred dollars
for you.
Exactly the opposite Of this is the
following. A clergyman in one OF the
Hudson River towns united Ger
man couple in marriage. When the
knot was tied, the bridegroom said,
Dominic, I've got no mOnish, but
I'll send you Won leetle pig" 1t was
done, and the circumstance was for
gotten by the clergyman. Two years
afterward he met the German in an
other town, for the first time since
the marriage ceremony was perform

gave you Won leetle pig ?
"Yes."
