Temperance.
One Woman's Temperance Speech

In a thriving borough in Pennsyl-
vania the inhabitants had assembled,
as was their custom, to decide upon
the number of licenses the town
should petition the county court for.
There was large attendance and the
meeting was presided over by one of
the most respectable magistrates in
the town. Upon the platform, among
others, were seated the clergyman Of
the town and one of his deacons, and
resident physician.
After the meeting had been formal
ly opened, a worthy citizen arose,
and after a short speech, moved that
the usual number of licenses be ask
ed for. He thought they had better
license good men and then let them
sell. This sentiment met with gen
eral favor and was seconded in sew
eral neat little speeches.
AS the chairman arose to put the
motion there was little stir in the
rear of the house and the bent figure
of an old lady arose. She was poor
ly clad and her countenance bore the
unmistakable stamp of the depriva-
ton and grief, but the flash of her
eye told of mental force undated.
Addressing the chairman she begged
permission to speak to the assembly.
She had come because she had heard
they were to decide the license ques-
ton. eyes," said she, ''all know
who | am. You once knew me as
mistress of one of the best estates in
the borough. 1 once had a husband
and five sons-and woman never had
a kinder husband, and mother never
had better or more affectionate sons.
But where are they now? Doctor, |
ask where are they now? In yonder
burying ground there are six graves
filled by that husband and those five
sons, and oh they are drunkards'
graves. Doctor, how came they to
be drunkards? You would come and
drink with them, and tell them that
temperate drinking would do them
good. And you, too, addressing
the clergyman would come and drink
with my husband, and my sons tho't
they could drink with safety because
they saw you drink. Deacon, you
sold them the rum that made them
drunkards. You now have my farm
and all my property, and you got ii
6y ram. And now [ have done my
errand and l 60 back to the poor
house, for that is my home. You,
reverend sir, you doctor, and you,
deacon, I shall never meet again, till
/ meet you at the bar of God, where
you too, will meet my ruined husband
and those five sons, who through your
influence and example fill drunkards'
graves
These words fell upon the assem-
bly, like ''lightning from clear sky"
and she sat down amid an oppressive
silence. The president arose and
said: Gentlemen, shall we petition
the court to issue licenses to this
borough the ensuing year?' The re-
ply that came as an inspiration was
one unbroken ono ~ making the |
very walls reverberate as witnesses
Of that stirring speech.

Things Worth Remembering.

To those who are called upon to
nurse the sick through a long and Sc
we're illness, it is the utmost import
anc, not only to themselves, but also
to their patients, that their own health
should be preserved and their own
strength maintained. And this not
only through the critical stage, but
also during the period of GONZALES
cence.
The following simple precautions
will aid in preserving health and
strength while nursing the sick: If
the disease of the patient be such as
to cause any marked odor of the
breath, or exhalations from the skin,
take care always to sit on that side of
the bed or sick person, which is oppo-
site to or away from the direction
which the effiuvia will take toward
the window or whatever other drafts
the room may afford. Sit so their
breath is carried away from you. Do
not sit too close to them nor take
their breath if you can avoid it. To
keep ones strength in a case of pro-
longed care and anxiety, and partic-
ularly so if obliged to sit up nights,
great benefit will be derived from
taking a warm bath early in the morn
ing and putting on fresh undergar-
ments every other evening, or if the
malady be very infectious in its ma
ture, it is best to change the clothing
every morning. 1t will be found that
the warm bath followed by brisk
rubbing of the whole body with a
very coarse towel or flesh brush, will
refresh the tired person almost as
much as sleep. 1t is we'll to keep up
the appetite with small doses of quin-
inc. This is the way in which lady
who makes nursing her business,
keeps herself we'll and strong. give
the directions as she gave them to
me, hoping they may possibly benefit
some one, as may also the following
incident which was related to me by
our family physician. Being called
upon to visit sick child, he found
the babe in apparently good health,
but crying and struggling continually
as though suffering extreme pain and
anguish. The mother stated that the
child was DESTROYS of nursing contin-
ually, and in order to quiet it, she
had been obliged to let it nurse as
often as the crying paroxysms came
on. When that failed to quied it,
paragoric or soothing syrup had been
administered.
"When did you give the babe a
drink of water last?" inquired the
81 don't remember" replied the
mother. 81 seldom let him drink
any water. Does he need it,
''Need it," exclaimed the doctor.
"Why should he not need it as much
as you? The child is suffering from
more"
He accordingly called for cold wa
ter, gave the infant few tablespoon
fuls, and it Immediately ceased cry
ing and fretting and soon peacefully !
went to sleep, enjoying a long, re-
freshihg slumber, the first for many
hours. Mothers and nurses should |

may often suffer torment for the lack |
of drink of water. Often a child |
C ries from nothing but thirst; there

of dosing it with poisonous COM
pounds, give the little sufferer all the
water he wants.-Lillidn IhOrne,
