The ladies of the Presbyterian

thing for the bride of their young and
popular pastor. Since their marriage
they have been as busy as birds in
May building their nests, in preparing
the things necessary for house keeping,
lin the house late the home of Supt.
Handy and expected to enter upon
their initial housekeeping this week.
There is one little part of the dwelling
that requires a somewhat different kind
of a fitting up from the parlor, library,
chambers, and even the kitchen
namely, the larder-of which young
folks as a rule have a very indefinite
idea, and it was just here where the
experienced housekeepers of the con-
gregation showed their superior wis
dom as we'll as friendly regard. And
they did it before it became a vexed
question in the intricaces of supplies
and the pocket book, for ere the other
departments had been arranged they
had this larder flled--preserves, enough
TO last beyond strawberry time, can
ned fruit, -four, lard, pickles, spices
&c &c, Gd infinitum. And what is
more, all Of this is for the young house
keepers themselves, and not like the

lots Of palateabls viands to eat up

in store or Office, the night in his room

ercise.
The point is settled beyond debate
that the use of rum in any form is, SOON
er or later harmful to the drinker; that
the harm in any liquor is in direct pro-
portion to the quantity of alcohol con-
tanned in it, and to the amount drank;
and that the steady drinking of any al
coholic drink is even worse than period
zeal drinking; that is, the man who puts
alcohol into his system every day by
drinking beer, wines or any other form
of rum, does more harm to himself each
year than the man who goes on period
ical ''sprees," with intervals in which he
drinks nothing. The testimony of the
highest medical authorities of Europe
and America is unanimous on these
points, and they may be justly consid-
cred as so thoroughly established that
controversy over them is out of the
question.
This being the fact our correspond
ent, and any one else to whom such sill
ly arguments are advanced, need not
waste effort in controverting them. Our
dry, brilliant climate is against drink
ing. An Englishman accustomed to
drink on coming to this country finds
that he must diminish the size and FREE
quency of his potations or he will be
drunk continually. This has been fire.
quently shown in New York City among
fast young Englishmen. Coming direct
from London, they are astonished to find
that the same amount of rum appears to
produce a mach greater effect on them.
The difference is one of climate. And
because some people, living in differ
ent climate, or those whose life is spent
out of doors, can drink with apparent
impunity, is no reason that all should
drink, nor does it follow that they
themselves would not be healthier,
stronger and happier if they did not
drink at all. So far as America is con-
cerned, non-drinking is the only safe
rule. Our friends in the West should not
allow themselves to be deferred by any
such specious arguments as those quoted
above from continuing the effort to pull
verize the rum power.-Toledo CO.,
