Large and delighted audiences greeted
Mr. David T.. Sampson at the Friends
meeting house on the Sabbath.
in the forenoon he spoke from the
text. "All things shall be made new.
The first chapter of Genesis had been
previously read, and the speaker drew q
comparison, fitting IN every respect, be-
tween the act Of creation as there por-
traved and the work Of redemption of

Is prepared for the reception of the
Truth, Just as the world was prepared
gradually for the subsistence of man.

time when the accounts OF great disasters,
accompanied with loss Of lie, produced
such a shock upon the world as they do
Low. Starting from this standpoint he
easily fell into the chosen topic, and by
convincing argument and apt ilustra-
tOns showed how highly the value of
human soul is rated, even considered
above all or any price. Each OF these
sermons produced profound impress
non upon the large audiences who
listened with undivided attention to

HE SPEAKS TO BOYS.
In the afternoon he spoke to the boys
Of the Male Orphan Asylum, drawing
useful lessons IRON the conduct OF
Daniel while a prisoner III the court OF

led by that excellent matron, Mrs. Gill,
whose sole desire appears to be to do
good IN her sphere.

The Money spent for Liquor.

The actual amount of malt liquors
consumed in 1883 was 767, 5S7. 056 gall
Ions. This includes not quite 81
900, 900 gallons of imported beer or ale.
The manufacturers price to the retail
er is above rather than below 30 cents
per gallon. At 20 cents the cost to the
dealers would be S153, SIT, All. The re-
tailers get an average of go cents per gall
lon, which makes the cost to the con-
sumers s46O, 622, 2SS, which the American
people spend annually for malt liquor,
principally beer. The most careful es-
innate puts the cost of wine to the con-
sumers at s72, 67O, 1856, and of distilled
spirits 1879, 226, 500 This gives us a
grand total of S9la, 449, 100, nearly 81, 900,
600, 900 spent annually for liquor by the
people of the United States How few
people realize the enormous expense
the use of liquor entails on the people.
Aside from the tax imposed by the gen.
eral Government the local tax on the
trade is rot 5 per cent. Of the cost. The
cost to Ohio is about 500, 600, 900 per am
mum; the local tax is 81, $50, 600. which
is but trifie over per cent-SanduslSy

An almost indescrihable color is that
of the sealskin before it is dyed. 1t is
silvery gray, furry brown and two OF
three other things, all at the same
time. But 1t is strikingly pretty, and
here in the East is SO seldom seen that
those girls wearing the undysd skins
may feel pride at having something UNI
usual and individual. A young Cali
fornian who came to this city only a
short time ago received from friend

the skin in its natural color. and had
great fun listening to acquaintances
guessing what the animal was. By
actual count eight women and one man
made each a different guess, and,
strange enough, the man was the only
one to name the skin the first time.
But he had hunted seals in his earlier

Railway Prohibition.

Economic considerations prompt rail-
way managers now very generally to
prohibit the use of intoxicants by their
employees when on duty. The Canadian
Pacific railway has adopted this rule:
1.-THE use Of intoxicating liquors will be
followed by immediate dismissal from
the company and preference will be
given to employees who abstain from the
use of same altogether"
The general superintendent Of the
Eastern division says: 81 consider that
the only guarantee of safety for railway
companies is to have this rule strictly
enforced. We have very little difficulty
with our men in this respect as they
are wen aware of the fact that the vio-
lation of the above rule is followed by
immediate dismissal. Any employe
found to be under the influence OF
liquor, even off duty, is dispensed with
for future service" This railway pro-
hibition is a matter which involves
largely the safety of the travelling pub
lie, as well as the interests Of railway
managers and stockholders. = National

TEMPERANCE NOTES.
THE WRECK.

In sight OF The careless passerby
Who sees. out not with the sailors eye,
The wreck lies stranded high and dry.
A noble ship once staunch and strong,
Whose cabins echoed the joyous song,
Whose decks was trodden by happy throng
Gone are her towering masts and spars
That almost seemed to reach the stars,
Crowned many time by gallant tars.
The battered hull now crushed and thin,
Where the rising tides rush out and in,
Was built in ocean wars to win.
She fell But not by the hand of time
This bark should now be in her prime,
A perfect ship in any cline.
She fell, as falleth mortal man,
Who hath thwarted heavens allotted plan
BY the cursed eap-lifes poisonous ban.
Two wrecks one sinks mid tears and prayers
But how the useless ships wreck fares
No mortal knows, no mortal cares.
