TENTED FACTS.

IT is familiar argument that the
free use of light wines has promoted
sobriety in France, and would do so in
America. Yet the Government figures
show that the consumption Of alcoholic
liquors in France has moro thaa doubled
in ten years past.
GERMANY has a heavy responsibility
for the introduction of the abominable
trash which it calls rum, gin, etc., into
Eastern Africa. 1t has done more to in
iure the black population than all the
missionaries can do to reform them TO,
the next fifty years.

PROF. SIMPSON. Of Edinburgh Univer

in their practice, in regard to alcohol
that its habitual use itself prod uces dis
eases; that it aggravates other diseases
that it renders its habitual users more
susceptible to diseases; that it lessons
their chance of recovery: and that i,
disease the alcoholist gets less benefl
from stimulants thaa tho abstainer.

DARLING,
MINI.

A little maid with sweet blue eyes
Looked upward with shy surprise
Because asked her name;
Awhile she bent her golden head,
While Ger her face soft bushes spread
Like some swift rosy flame;
Then. looking up, she softly said:
My name is Mammals Darling"
Tell me your mothers name, nv dearn
And STOPPING low I paused to hear.
The little maid seemed musing;
Why, mammals names like mine, YOU know
But 3Sst because we love her so
we call her Mamma Darling"
)" Tell me your papa's name" cried:
The little maiden's eyes grew wide;
my papa? Don't YOU knows
Why. ever since the baby died
Mamma and have always tried
To cheer him from his sorrowing;
And my mamma and love best
= To call him Papa Darling
What did you call the baby, dear?''
The answer came quite low but clear.
The baby-oh, wonder what
They call him now in Heaven;
But We had only one name here,
And that was Baby Darling
Swift years flew by, and once again
That little maid so tender
Stood by my side, but she had grown,
Like lilies, tall and slender;
This time twas that called her name,
And swift the bushes grew like fame
At rosy mist Of morning;
] clasped her in my arms and kissed
Ny tenderhearted Darling

A Word to Grumb.ers,

Don't be grumbler. Some people
contrive to get hold of the prickly side
of every thing, to run against all the
sharp corners and disagreeable things.
Half the strength spent in growing
would often set things right. You may
as we'll make up your mind, to begin
with, that no one ever found the world
quite as he would like it; but you are to
take your part of the trouble and bear
it braveiy. You will be sure to have
burdens laid upon you that belong to
other people, unless you are shirker
yourself; but don't grumble. If the
work needs doing, and you can do it,
never mind about that other who ought
to have done it and didn't. Those
workers who fill up the gaps and smooth
away the rough spots, and finish up the
jobs that others leave undone-
they are the true peace-makers, and
worth whole regiment of growlers-

Illinois country town, earning my daily

The only relatives l had were a dis

to whom our branch of the family had

morose old man, had been suddenly
stricken with disease, and had ex-

A CHEERFUL SPIRIT.

Efforts to Be Permanently Useful Must
Be Uniformly Joyous.
''Half of the battle of life," says a
writer, consists in keeping up cheer
full spirit" How true! They who COM
plain of ills and disappoin tments and
assert that life is not worth living"
are lacking seriously in cheerfulness.
They have not learned one of the most
important lessons-that life has char
acter for good or i'll, according to our
habit of viewing it. Some years ago we
attended a religious service on Sunday
in church near our residence but to
which we rarely went. But the dis
course that was delivered by the aged
minister interested us deeply, from be-
ginning to end. 1t was not brilliant
earnest comment that proceed from long
experience. The subject was Thankful
ness, the speaker dwelling upon the
healthful, comforting influence of that
cheerful habit OF mind that sees some-
thing to inspire thankfulness in every
event of life. A day or two later we
learned that the aged minister had left
the dying bed of daughter that very
morning to perform the duties of his
ministry, and when the service was con-
cluded he FASTENED back to her side.
What help can a depressed, melan-
choly spirit afford? How unreasonable
to expect any thing at all beneficial
from a tone of mind that is Responding,
morbid and gloomy. The simplest
practical wisdom warns against the in
diligence of such temper. Admitted
to the degree of desperation, does it pay
to cultivate misery by brooding upon
them. and hugging, as it were, closely
to our heart the horrid corpse of our
misfortune? No; the wise course is to
turn away from the ills and sorrows,
and with an upward, cheerful face en-
ergetically address ourselves to the
duties of our station. That dyspeptic,
irascible old Scotsman, Carlyle, could
appreciate the value of this princely
virtue-for he says in his inimitable
manner:
"Wondrous is the strength of cheer
fulness; altogether past calculation is
its power of endurance. Efforts to be
permanently useful must be uniformly
joyous spirit all sunshine-graceful
from very gladness, beautiful because
bright" Probably he had before his
minds eye when he wrote this, his
much tried, yet always calm and good
natured wife!.
If the heart is kept cheerful and
bright no experience of evil fortune can
daunt its courage and it's hope and in
time the clouds that seem to threaten
overthrow and ruin break before it and
disclose the sun of success and Joy Shin
ing in the peaceful heaven.-Phreno-
logical journal.

NATURAL ELOQUENCE.

Mary Orators Replace 1t by Carefully
Elaborated Eloquence.
Though natural eloquence is supposed
to be thing of the heart, and of the
inspiration of the moment, great orators
very often have to depend for their elo
quence upon something quite other than
inspiration. It's impossible for them
to speak from full heart on every oc
occasion, and natural eloquence must be
replaced by carefully elaborated elc
quence.
Edward Everett, the ''siiver-tongued
orator." used to write his addresses and
commit them to memory. This method
has been followed by many other public
mon whose ''impromptu" eloquence has
been matter for great admiration tt
their hearers. Indeed, it may be laid
down as an accepted rule that great
speecpes are made beforehand. There
have been some notable exceptions tt
this rule, but it is nevertheless rule
M. Paul de Remusat relates that Wis.
4ting once his friend, M. Theirs, who
had not yet become President of the
French Republic, but was one of the
most noted orators of Europe, he found
the great statesman at his desk, busy
with paper and pen.
"You come just in time," said THEIRS

you think about it."
It was, perhaps, NJ. Theirs most IA
nous spoech-his great impeachment OF
Napoleon III. and his policy. The
young man listened with interest, and
ventured to say after the reading that
while the address was remarkably
strong one, he missed something of the
easy, natural, perfectly simple method
which was characteristic of Nj. Theirs
''You are right" said the great orator,
81 haven't put in the negligence yet.
Taking his pen, he proceeded to add
touch of negligent ease here and there,
changing careful expressions to careless
ones.
''Now," he said at last, 1T is sponta

NJ. Theirs once wrote to Sainte- Beuve.
II have spent my life in public assem-.
blies, and have been struck by one thing:
The moment a speaker begins to make
what we call phrases, the audience be-.
gin to smile disdainfully, and to cease
to listen"
Notwithstanding his love for the sim.
pie and unconventional in oratory, NJ.
Theirs was in the habit of putting his
spoken speeches into more formal shape
for permanent record. Taking the
proofs of the nervous. often incomplete
sentences which the stenograper had
caught on the wing, he transformed
them into stately periods.
