UNSElOD.

An incident in Pennsylvania town, re-
ported in the Methodist Recorder.
A pale, worn mother, in humble garb.
Timidly enters the door
OF shopman. Her look bespeaks
An errand undone before.
"What can do for you, madam? Her tones
Are low, as il with shame.
"a pair of shoes for a little grip
The number she did not name
"For little girl of twelve years, SIR"
"The number please" said he.
II do not know" she, abashed, replied.
Said the merchant, patiently,
"Tel me the size of the last she wore"
In the mother heart was strife,
AS her sad, glad story forced its way
'She has had none all her life!
"Her father drank, while we had saloons,
But his drinking all is DER;
He this morning said, Get Sissy some shoes;
She shall go unshod no more"
~
Allpitiful One! How long, how long
Shall little ones, lacking bread,
Be shoeess too, in the damp and chill,
That an Ogre may be fed!
But the God of Abraham calleth still,
TO the ear of our faith so dull,
The iniquity of the Amorite
Not yet, not yet is full"
II. N. c., in Journal and Messenger.

Little 4-year-old was being re-
proved by her mother. "Why, En-
ily," she said, "when | was little
girl my mamma never let me do such
a thing as that"

Dakota has a prohibition COW. A
good farmer gave it to help defeat
the saloonists. 1t will be MIXED or
sold for the benefit of the campaign
fund.
Reliable officers of the Knights of
Labor in Pennsylvania estimate that
60 per cent of the members of that
order voted for the prohibition amend
ment.
Col. George Woodford, the gospel
temperance revivalist, is holding
rousing meeting in the Black Hills.
The Tennessee w. G. L. U. has
undertaken the management of a large
industrial school IN the eastern part
of the State.
Miss Frances E. Willard has been
invited to lecture in Oklahoma.
Success at the cost of honor and
character is too expensive.

w. CT. u. Notes.

The lesson of disappointment is
again for us, but not discouraged,
the real sentiment of prohibition is
continually on the increase.
Mrs. Chase went to Pine Bluff to
the State Teachers Association to
urge the cause of Scientific Temper
ance Instruction upon all the teachers.
Many of these are very much alive to
it.
The L. T. L. of Beebe, sent so to
the Johnstown sufferers, and were
preparing clothing. This legion seems
to be full of good work, and we sus-
pect Mrs. Yantis is the leader, who
wisely suggests something for the
children to do and they feel it is their
work, and enter into it with zeal.
May it never grow less.
Reports of meetings and good
work being done in various places,
and the celebration of the Fourth of
July with temperance exercises, give
hope Of more real enjoyment, and in
struction as well as pleasure to fill the
day. ''The New Declaration of In
dependence will be read and q gen.
eral good time expected.
The Loyal Temperance Legion of
Beebe, Malvern and Little Rock will
have prominent part in these exer-
cises.
The rescue committee met at the
w. G. Il. U. rooms and set apart a
committee to see if suitable accom-
modations can be secured at reason
able rent, to open q Home for Friend
less Women. Let this subject be
agitated till we can provide place of
safety for the poor ones, who feel they
are outcasts and that no one cares
for them. The police matron could
tell some pitiful tales of some of these
who would gladly find such a refuge.
Let us raise the standard of equal
purity for men and women, and ostra-
else from respectable society the man
who would degrade some other mans
sister. But let us reach a hand to
help those who wish to return to a
life of virtue, whether women or men.

tories or poor-houses. IF to these we add the.
outdoor poor and the inmates OF char1tapie
institutions, the amount will swell to nearly
or Quite 100000, or 1per cent. OF the Popula-.
tion.n At that rate tine number would now
be about 600 900. But we will keep to the
records of 1880, and consider only the 40o,-
600 who were inmates Of charitable institu-
tions. OF that number the 20, 600 who were
prisoners and the $1,000 who were paupers
have been already considered. Those de-
Quoted would leave 263, 900 Of defective per-
sons.n Assuming the average cost OF their
maintainence to be 500 land in many OF these
institutions it runs up to nearly SOO per
capita, as skilled teachers and physicians
must be employed at great expensel, the e3-
pense of maintaining these defective per-
sonsn would exceed $50, ,0O0 900. II we esti-
mate one-third Of these disabilities to be due.
to intemperance, actual or inherited, we
shall have S17, 600, 900 annual loss to the ma
tion from the insanity, blindness, deafness
and other disabilities which intemperance
produces, The relation of insanity to intem-
perance is a point deserving careful study.
State and National Boards are now greatly
exercised over the rapid and undeniable IN
crease of insanity. It is worthy OF inquiry
whether a ratio does not exist between that
and the increased consumption OF liquor
within the last twenty years. We see PLAIN
ly that liquor will make person insane Ior
a little while It would seem reasonable 70
srinpose that enough of it might make him 50

THE RECKONING HAND.

The hand that beckons us to glory waves
US out OF impenetrable clouds. We walk in
a way that we know not. We labor for our
Master, but never know beforehand which
shall pros. er, whether this or that. We lay
wise plans, and they miscarry. We commit
gross blunders and they are overruled for
good. We run toward the light, and 1t goes
out in darkness. We sink sbivering in the
darkness, and find it light We pray for
joys, and they mildew into griafs. We ac-
cept the grieis and they blossom into joys
Today the apple turns to ash s, and tomorrow
the stones to bread. We exult in some
prosperity. and get leanness with it. We
murmur at scme adver>ity, and find it big
with blessing We run toward open doors,
and cash our head against a granite wall.
We move against the wall at the call Of
duty and it opens to let us through. The
lines of our lives are all in Gods bands.
What shall befall us we cannot know. What
is expedient we cannot tell. Only this we
know, that God would shaps us to Himself,
whether it be by the discipline Of Joy or the
discipline of sorrow To make us perfect as
He is perfect, this is the choice Of our heav-
enly Father, this the end Of all His. revela-
