The Results OF DrInkIne.

None know better the results Of alcoholic
liquors upon these who drink them than
liquor-sellers. In the St. Louis Globe a bar
tender is reported as saying:
Frequent drinking makes glib tongue
and matters that might he regarded as State
secrets outside the pale of the bar-room are
there discussed with a shocking lack of re-
serve. The funny part Of it is that the bar
tender is taken seriously into the discussion,
and his opinions are treated as Of great re-
spect and authority by persons who, when
sober, have no compromising with the mixer
Of drinks. Think OF man taking his busi-
ness affairs his family afiaiTs. his love
affairs. 10 lie submitted TO the Judgment Of
a bartender and you have in mind what
actually happens very, very often. Place a
white aproned man behind a whisky bar. and
lie becomes, in many instances. the leader in
thought and expression OF those who ex-
change money for drinks over two feet OF
walnut board that separates them. And this
explains. in a measure, the vast influence Of
saloons in politics."

gestions to our mind during the exer-
cises last Tuesday:
A singing club should be organized,
consisting of the best talent from all the
churches.
Mechanics have had more work here
the last year than for long time, on &C.
count of building the factories. 1t will
be SO with the laborer if we build the
railroads.
We would like to hear the following
auartette sing G. S. L. A. Taylor, bass
j. Z. Ratley, tenor; Mrs. Alice We'd
dington, alto; Mrs. Mile johnson, So
prano.
A military, or some sort of marching
company, should be organized in every
precinct in the county.
A pavilion to hold 5000 people should
be erected in this city, and it can be
done by colored men.
A great number of cattle driven
through Independence square on Tues
day was symbolical Of the droves of
negroes for tale on the same spot thirty
years ago.
With as many roads as Atlanta, Char
lotte will soon surpass it in size and en-
terprise.
OF the 1000 people at the church, not
one was noisy or under the influence oil
liquor. The order was perfect.
Some familiar faces were absent, some
are dead, while others are alive, but dis
interested.
There should be well prepared
paper read to our people, at least once a
month, to do the unfulflled work of our
lyceums and clubs.
Many people are leaving for the west
because they can't get work here. Let
us vote for the railroads and that will
give us plenty of work and good wages.
It was sad and affecting to see old
men shed tears and sob while the
speaker referred to the days of our pa
rents slavery.
The young people were out in full
force on Tuesday, but they could not
appreciate the solemnity of the occa-
sion as the old folks.

a Hint FOR Temperance Herormers.

The owner OF corner liquor store up town
gave an interesting opinion as to the best
way to curtail the liquor traffic the other
evening. He had been having a dull day
and was lamenting the fact that there had
been little or no treating going on. People
may talk all they like about abolishing or
curtailing the liquor traffic." be said, but
they can't do it as long as the treating habit
is followed up as it Is now. IL is treating
that gives most Of US saloon keepers the most
OF our Income IL our customers come in one
by one and get their drinks and go out the
receipts are very slow In footing up. But IL
they meet in front OF the bar and get sociable,
therein is our harvest When they set TO
talking politics, then Is the high noon OF our
prosperity. II some OF these people who de-
cry the saloon 50 much would organize a sue
cessful movement for the repression Of treat
ing. then the saloons would drop out OF ex-
t3tence much more rapidly than the highest
sort OF high license law would make them.

Come, Alcohol, now answer me
Ibe questions l shall put to thee:
What is thine agel What is thine aiml
What is thy trader What is thy namei
ANSWER.
Ny age is more than thousand years.
NY aim, to fill the earth with tears,
My trade to kill and make expense,
My name it is Intemperance
Long have rulei upon the earth
To every crime I've given birth.
I'm father Of all grief and woe,
spread distress whereer go.
My dwelling place is at the bar,
My customers are near and far;
| fill their heads. drain their purse,
And turn their blessings to cursel
l daily breathe poisonous BREATH
My drink is liquid fire and DEATH
My lodging-place is Satan's seati
My food is filth and serpents' meatl
My face is covered with mask,
My hiding-place is in cask;
My business is to gender strife,
And put asunder man and wife,
/ visit grog.shops all around,
Where Satan is, I'm always found,
] am his waiter day and night,
His service is my chief delight.
He is my captain and my guide,
/ always stand close by his side;
I've killed more men, upon my word,
Than famine, pestilence, or sword.
With my deceitful fiattering tongue,
! draw to me both old and young,
And when get them in my snare,
chain them fast and keep them there.
But Temperance men I mostly dread,
For they are running my trade,
And if their cause should further go,
Twill prove my final overthrow.
4
Thus Alcohol disclosed to me
His character and destiny,
Altho' a liar from his youth,
He now has Numbered into truth.
Then, Temperance men be wide awake,
The foe begins to fear and quake
Stand to your posts Go hand in handi
And drive this monster from the landl

A Medical Voice Against Alcohol

DIR. A. NJ. Ross, an eminent physician OF
Toronto, Canada, is the author OF valuable
series Of health tracts, in one of which, on
the subject Of drink reform, be says:
'All intoxicating drinks, including wine,
porter, beer. ale and cider are poisOns-
they are inimical to the human constitution,
and are produced only from the decay,
destruction and decomposition of the pro-
ducts of organized matters. They deserve
execration for the miseries they have inflicted
and are still INJECTING on human society.

inent that in this enlightened day there ara
50 many physicians and clergymen lwho pro

stuff to their confiding followers and patients,
and even to nursing women"
