The Young Corporal.

A lad, q corporal in the French army,
when drunk, struck bis superior officer. be
was tried by court-martial and sentenced
to be shot, and cast into prison to await the
execution of his sentence. There was an
effort made to secure his pardon, but without
success. The Colonel, however, was much
attached to him, and was unrsmittlnS IN ms
efforts to secure a pardon, which he at
length succeeded in doing, on condition that
if ever known to be drunk again he should be
shot dead. The Colonel went to the prison
to inform the young corporal OF his pardon.
"Ah, Colonel" said the unhappy young
man as the officer entered, ''see what my
folly has brought me to-"
.iSuppose,n said the Colonel, "that should
tell you that on condition that you never IN
your life drink again a pardon is extended
TO YOU" A gleam of hope frightened the
young mans face. s'Your life to be the for
feit if you ever taste liquor again." added the
.tfmpossiblep said the poor lad. II can.

The poor young fellow relapsed into hope

be impossible to keep the condition"
"Iwant your word and pledge OF honor as
a soldier, f" said the Colonel, appealing to the
military spirit and high sense OF honor ne so
we'll knew the youth to possess. MT
The lads soul kindled within him. The
appeal wrought the effect intended.
"See, Colonel" cried the young soldier
s'See here and now," and he lifted his arm
toward heaven, ''that never with the help OF
God, will put liquor to my lips again"
That lad became commander of the Inn
perial Guard whose very name became such
q power, and he kept the pledge in the same
spirit that characterized his memorable ut
terance: "The Old Guard dies, but never
surrenders."
Now you see how much that sting OF the
LIQUOR serpent costs It came very near cost
ing that brave young corporal his life. 1t Is
a very costly thing to the country IN doiiaIs

times as much as it does to pay the salaries
of all the ministers of the gospel. The saia"
ries of our ministers amount to sixty mill

traffic, and keep the sting Of the liquor ser
pent doing its work.

of him. one on each side. and were en-
couraging him to try to walk" He was not
seen alive after that His body was found
in milI-race, where he had been drowned
in about three feet of water.
This was in Oneida County, n. Y.
His widow sued Wells under the Civil
Damage act of 1873, which provides that
Every husband, wife, child, parent,

Mrs. Mccarthy won her case on trial and
got q verdict for damages from tho jury.
Wells insisted that he was not liable for
McCarthys death and appealed to the
General Term of the Supreme Court. That
tribunal has decided against him. I'VE are

that his into1ication was caused in whole or

Drink Robs One Of Precious Years.

A collective investigating committee Oh
"Habits of Intempsrance, appointed by the
British Medical Association, have made re-
port, published in the British Medical Jour
nal, in which, as one Of their conclusions,
they say: "That of men who have passed
the age of twenty five, the strictly temperate
on the average live at least ten years longer
than those who have become decidedly in
temperate" If their conclusion concerning
the effect of intemperance upon the average
length of life is correct, it will be seen that
the number Of years thus sacrificed annually
by the army of drunkards in our own and
other countries, is in the aggregate enor-
mously large.

About two years ago the weight re-
