The narrative proceeds:

public attention to the great evils caused by

to let it alone. Mister" cried little boy

them accordingly. There are many liquor
signs As sign ticant As the PROSTATE drunk

nose. so red and flaming that a man can
almost light his gar by it, Others display
it in bOtched faces and blOated forms.
There are wan and pale faced wives, in
wretched homes. who tremble when we'll
known footsteps come staggering through
the hall: that's ii sign. And there are rag
ged. haffed children covering i'm terror on
the hearth stone. from which cheerfulneSS
and comfort are banished: that's another
sign. 1t is well that somebody calls atten-

their scheme of reform. Il eXas Siftings.

THE MORTGAGE.

We work ed through spring and winter. through
summer and through fall. ...
But the mortgage worked the hardest and the
steadiest of all.
1t worked on nights and Sundays. it worked each
. holiday: .
1t settled down among us, and it never went away.
Whatever Kept from it seemed almost bad
MS theft;
1t watched us every time, and it ruled right
and left.
The rust and blight we're with sometimes. and
sometimes they were not;
The dark browed, sulen mortgage was forever on
the spot.
The weevil and the cut-worm they went as we'll
came; ...
The mortgage stayed forever. eating hearty all the
1t nailed up every window. stoodIguard at every
door
And happiness and sunshine make their. home
with us no more.
Till, with failing crops and sickness. got stalled
upon the grade.
And there came a dark day upon us when the in
terest wasn't paid:
And there came a sharp foreclosure, and kind o
lost my hold.
And grew weary and discouraged. and the farm
was cnehply solo,
The children left and scattered, when they yet
were hardly grown;
My wife she pinned and pershed, an found my
self alone.
What she died of was mystery, an the doctors
never knew;
But knew she died of mortgage-just we'll
wanted to.
If to trace hidden sorrow within the doc
tors art,
They'd ha' found a mortgage lying that wom-
ans bI oxen heart.
Worm or beet e, drought tempest, on the farm
er's land may fall,
But for first class ruination. trust mortgage
'ganst them all.

Five Gents,

every thing that it should have been; but
who in moment of passion or sudden
emptatiOll, committed some OtfenSe not in
accordance, with the angels hymn over
Bethehems crib: Peace on earth. good
will to men," and who have been by per-
verse and malignant men. or the machi
nations of those who administer the law
50 ably pictured last week by our good
friend. Tammany-taken from the soc ETY.
in which they associated and upon them
had heaped all the degradation and infamy
of life of W cketlneSS and crime TO such
| would say don't say your life is failure.
Like the spider. your fall has been but ac-
cdentaI. When your term of durance vile
is over re enter. with renewed determina-
ti0n. that society from which you were so I'M
justly dragged: hold your head AS high. if
not higher. as you ever held it: and let the
Splent0r of your conduct so shine before
men as to teach those who would. if they
could. look upon you with contempt. to say
in their penSive hours: Would that l
were like him."
But You will tell me the brand of an ex-
convict is an indelible one. l answer. it is
not so. If the excellence Of your conduct
be assisted by a firm deerlninat on to reach
the goal of honest success though the
heavens should fall then say your past
the >ch.OIbOy's slate are Obliterated by the
devastating influences of the dampened
sponge.
To those among us who from one cause
or another have repeatedly fallen and be-
come disheartened. the spiders example is
worthy of imitation. Six times did it fall
and the result of the seventh attempt found
il basking in the sunshine of victory. A
renowned writer tells us that life is like the
letter Y. During ones early career the
road is straight and easy. but when one
cpnleS to fight LIES battles alone he finds
himself at the opening of two roads. one
leading to success. the other to failure.
Now you have tried the latter and you will
tind yourselves when these prison gates
close behind you at the opening of the roads
again. Try the other road this time-it
deserves trial. Life is young still. The
world owes us, all an honest livelihood, and
if we but try fine honest methods at our
disposal. wewll compel that world. frOwn
as It may. to pay us our honest due.
If we do this we will IN years yet to come
when having by a brilliant future wiped
out the sad recOllectOns of an erring past
and gained success. come to agree with
