A Big Speech.

Whisky unlocks the doors that
leads to the poor house, penitentiary
and the grave; unfastens the gates of
sorrow, the windows of want, the
door Of death; opens the way into the
Jail, up the scaffOld, through the trap;
it unloclls the heart Of the wife to let
in regret, the heart of the mother to
let in sorrow, the heart of the child
to let in shame; 1t let's loose rivers of
tears. ages of sadness, generations of
woe; locks up good intentions, words
Of promise, deeds of duty; it locks
the child out in the street, the wife
in the hOvel, the father in ruin; it
locks up goodness and unlOcks sin,
locks up health and unIocks sickness
locks up Joy and unIoclzs misery
locks up smiles, and unlOcks tears
locks up plenty, and unlocks want
locks up unsfulness, and unlocks idle

locks melancholy; locks up content

Though there are not many women
who would desire to stain their hands
and dye their souls IN blood by muir
dering their accomplice in their own
shame, yet it might prove to be great
ly in the interest of masculine morals
if it were we'll understood that women
would do it in every case, and that
the public would uphold them in it.
The disgrace and crime all come from
the attempt to lead a double life, one
clean and decent in public, one IN
clean and vile in private. But the
law of compensation looks well to it
that no man lives so long or dies so
soon that he is not found out and
branded as he deserves. The only
difference with a woman is she is
branded from the first and compelled
to live her true life in the face Of the
world. Tecumseh (Neb.) Chjeftajn.

A NIGHTS WINNINGS.
Story of a Man Who Knew When He Had
Good Thing.


"Thats fine building" said I to
friend the other day as we passed tall
structure of red brick downtown.
Eyes, >" he replied; you'd hardly think
that it represents nights winnings at
roulette"
Glow can that be? The only gam
bling going on now is of the shoe
string sort on the borders of the desert
in Allegheny, is it not?'
O, the gambling took place twenty or
more years ago in the city of Baden
Baden, when the man who erected that
building lived there. He was poor, and
as he grew toward mans estate desire
to go to America overwhelmed every
other thought in his mind. But he had
not the money to pay his passage.
''One night he CHANGED to be walking
in the grounds of the conversationhaus
bordering upon his unhappy fortune
when the thought occurred to him that
by adventuring the cum of money he
had-which was not large enough to be
of any use-at the gaming table he might
make stake sufficient to carry him to
america. Without more delay he went
to the gambling hall and, without plan
or special precision, risked his money on
the roulette-wheel. He won from the
very first and left the conversationhaus
that night with money in every pocket.
The next day he played awhile again,
but after adding little to his winnings
of the proceeding night he lett the table.
He took with him resolution never to
gamble again and enough gold to carry
him to America and give him a fair start
in business there. He has kept both
the resolutions and the gold. The latter
has multiplied exceedingly"
''The moral, then, is"
"That it is good thing to make a
resolution never to gamble and to keep
it."-PittSburgh Dispatch.

A GENTLE SUGGESTION.
How Arabella Brought Her Bashful Lover
to Time.

to Time.
George was bashful lover. He scarcely
dared to touch his lady's hand. He loved
her well and she was worthy of his affec-
ton, for she was modest, intelligent, sweet
and lovable; but, like all good women, she
yearned for the respectful caresses that are
the evidences of a pure affection. She,
however, yearned in vain. George wor-
shipped her. He might kiss the hem of her
garment, but to kiss her lips or cheek, the
very audacity of the thought made him
tremble.
They sat together by the sea looking out
upon the track of the moons light which
white-winged yachts were crossing now
and then.
ut was witching hour, a scene
For love and calm delight
Suddenly she moved slightly away from
him.
"FIease, George, don't do that" she said.
"What!" he asked, in genuine surprise.
"Ohi you needn't tell me-" she replied.
"You were just going to put your arm
around my waist, and were going to try to
kiss me-"
'Dear Arabella-"
"Oh! you needn't tell me no; you were
going to do it. Well, after all, suppose
you are not to blame. 1t is just what
lover would do to his sweetheart, and l sup
pose must not be offended if you do it."
And George grasped the situation and did
exactly what Arabella Supposed he would
do, and the moon grlnned and the stars
winked and the wavelets laughed and a
mosquito that was about to alight on the
maiden's cheek flew away and settled on
the nose Of grass widow who was sitting
near the band stand.-N. Y. Sun.
