is always far worse than that Of their
temperate fellow-workmen. The in
temperate man can not do as much
work as a sober one, nor is his work
of as good quality. They do not work
as regularly, and consequently do not
earn as much. They are not de-
sirable class Of workmen in any estab-
lishment, and when a dull time comes
they are the first to be dismissed when
the force is reduced.
The rum-drinking workmen are in a
chronic condition OF poverty. for their
earnings go into the tills of saloons
instead of into savings bank. They
pay their money out for rum instead
of for food, clothing and other neces-
saries of life for their families. They
have spent in debauches what would
have bought them comfortable cot
tage homes and made them bright and
cheerful. They, too. are chronic
'kickers" for high wages, notwith
standing the fact that they are the
least worthy. They do not realize the
axiom in economy that mans wages
are to be measured by what he saves,
rather than by what he wastes.
If the working-men of the entire
United States, instead of going on a
strike for higher wages would 60 on
general strike against rum. solid
revolution would be wrought. Think
of the result If the 5000, 900, 900 per
year that is now spent in running life
and health by rum were distributed in
the avenues of legitimate trade instead
of over saloon bars! There would be
a permanent boom in every line.
There would be abundant work in
every shop. every factory, every mer-
camille establishment; wages would
rise and employers would be able to
pay them. An era of prosperity would
set in. based on sure and solid
foundation, and the rum traffic would
die for lack of sustenance. Toledo

LIVE FOR OTHERS.

Bruised your feet may be and weary,
Crushed and still your heart may lie,
Looh Beyond the earth to Heaven
Put your own grief by.
Reach your hands out TO the fallen, ~
Guide them upward TO the sky; f
Tell to them the sweet old story Is
Put your own griet by.
Carry comfort to the mourner,
Heel the homeless children's cry.
SoOthe the aching hearts around yOu-
Put your own grief by.
You'll not think your life is dreary,
You'll forget to weep and sigh,
II you DIavely work for others
Put your own grief by.
God will more than recompense you,
When your earthly treasures fly,
IL you conquer selfish sorrow
Put your own grief by.
Christ will fill your heart with rapture,
Give you joys that never die,
II you'll only kneel and ask Him
Put your own grief by.

81 SUNDAY SALOONS.
Shall the Liquor 44-.lc Alone DO su.
pcrior to All Law?
This cesspool of vice. the saloon
a shame at all times-permitted to
stand open and ply its nefarious bust
ness on the Sabbath, is dark blot on
any community. How long shall it go
on unrestrained? We have a legalized
rest day. Law says business shall
suspend; courts must adjourn; con-
tracts signed on Sunday are void.
Yet, without protest. the one business
most dangerous to all peace defiantly
opens wide its doors. Not on the
grounds of religion do we now plead,
but for humanity's sake. We plead
for the families who are suffering for
want of last weeks wages spent in
the temptations OF the open saloon.
We plead for the sake of the laboring
men easily tempted, by drinking asso.
ciates upon these rest days, away from
their homes, and from means OF i'm
provement. The State owes the citi-
zen protection from such dangers and
death.
In the City OF New York, from 1867
to 1870. the law closing liquor and beer
shops on Sunday was effectively en-
forced. With what resultP The SUM-
day arrests for drunkenness and dis
order were at once reduced nearly
one-half Shame on the city that re-
fuses to shield that great body of
laboring men from the perils OF an
open saloon upon the rest-day of
America. Humane reasons demand
protection from this evil, aside from
all considerations of Temperance or
religion. The crisis is upon us. 1t
must be met Let all good citizens
combine against this saloon rebellion.
These words of Lyman Beecher. sew
enty-five years ago. are being fulfilled
in this fearful violation OF the law by
our saloons: 1.-The hand that over
turns our laws and affairs is the hand
of death unbarring the gates of pande-
monium, and letting loose upon our
land the crime and miseries of hell.
Even II the Most High should stand
aloof and cast not single ingredient
into our cup of trembling, it would
seem to be full of superlative woe.
But He will not stand aloof. As we
shall have begun an open controversy
with Him. He will contend openly
with us. And never since the earth
stood has it been SO fearful thing for
nations to fall into the hands of the
living God" Whatever mems views
upon the Temperance question all,
except the totally immoral. are agreed

confused notions about religious
liberty" and Sunday laws" Thou
sands of good Christian people are
waiting for plain views upon the two

see that the civil Sabbath is based
upon natural and humane laws. and

Once there was a man. He had
coarse, long black hair and high

color of copper. He and his family
lived in the woods and ate wild game.

Well, the years went by. and there
came another man into that neighbor-
hood. His face was white, his hair
auburn and waving. For time these
men lived in peace. But the white
man loved to shoot the wild game,
too. He had gun made of iron,
and he could shoot further than
the other man. and kill more wild
animals. Can you guess how trouble
came? They began to shoot at each

After this came another white man.
His gun was better still. Strange to

children went down to place called
