An Awful Example.

While in Woodstown not long since |
CHANGED to overhoar a conversation be-
tween two aged gentlemen in regard to
the liquor habit. One claimed that the
educated gentleman of good connection
never became a slave tc drink and never
degraded his position BY the excessive use
of liquor. but when they found that they
were getting too fond of it they threw it
of as easy as any other habit, Il cited
himself as as example. | could not help
but think that his logic was poor indeed,
and called to mind a case that happened
in the city of Camden. A gentleman who
for convenience sake we will call Mr.. Smith,
a man of good family, had a very prom
gave every premise of making his mark
in the world. He studied law and became
a successful lawyer with a large practice.
His aged father and mother were proud of
him and he commanded the respect of all.
In an evil moment he took to drink and
then the change came. His practice fled.
his former friends passed him by, and
from a brilliant ornament to society he
became one of the most contemplate of
all bein gs-a drunkald-who HON it was
nothing unusual to see laying in the
street or carried home insensible from the
effects of rum. He lived to see his aged
father and mother and the one whom he
promised before God to love and honor
die OF shame, and his own children ashamed
to w him. In that dark hour, without
home, without friends, when seemingly
forsaken by all, the loving Saviour caused
a small seed to lodge in his heart and it
sprang up into a large tree. Through the
wonderful mercy of Christ that man for
sock rum, became converted, Joined
church and became one of the hardest
Notwithstanding the danger signal of
rum whenever a chance occurred. Al
last, being such a good worker in Chiist's
vineyard, he secured a charge in a small
village not far from Camden and gave all
his talents to Gods work. 1t was a grand
sight to see him ministering to his small
flock and hear his voice, rich as the balm
of paradise, giving the blessed promise of
eternal salvation to all. One day while
making a visit to a sick member of his
church be was overcome by the sun and
fell unconscious to the road, and to restore
him they gave him brandy. The next
Sunday he came into church to preach
Gods message of salvation Keeling drunk,
and the next Sabbath was laid in a drunk
ards grave. This is only one case out of
a thousand where life, promise and talent
have been destroyed by that accursed
drug of hell-rum. TEE JAY SEE.

CuILDREs's LITERATURE.
what ..Sf. Has Done For
and Girls.

Victor Hugo calls this 1.-THE woman's
century," and lie might have added that it
is the children's century as we'll, for never
before in the worlds history has so much
thought been paid to children-their schools
their books, their pictures, and their toys,
Childhood, as We understand it is a recent
discovery.
Up to the time Of the issue of the 81. Nich-
olas Magazine seventeen years g litera-
ture and children's magazines were almost
contradictory terms, but the new periodical
started ont with the idea that nothing was
too good for children; the result has been
a juvenile magazine genuine with conscien-
tious purpose, the greatest writers con-
~tributing to it, with the best artists and
engravers helping to beautify it,-and
everything tuned To the keynote of youth.
1t has been the special aim of 81. Mich
0las to supplant unhealthy literature with
stories of a living and healthtul interest.
1t will not do to take fascinating bad
literature out of boys hands, and give
them in its place Mrs. Barbauld and
Peter Farley, or the work of writers who
think that any ~''good-y" talk will do for
children, but they must have strong, in
terestlpg reading, with the blood and sinew
of real life in it, -reading that will waken
them to a closer observation of the best
things about them.
In the seventeen years of its life St. Nich-
olas has not only elevated the children,
but it has also elevated the tone of contem-
pory cAildren's literature as well. Many
of it's stories, like Mrs. Burnett's Little
Lord Fauntleroy," have become classic.
Il is not too much to say that almost every
notable young peoples story now produce
ed in America first seeks the light il the
pages of that magazine.
Tit year 1891 will prove once more that
mo household where there are children is
complete without 81. Nicholas" j. T.
Trowbridge. Noah Brooks, Charles Dudley
Warner, and many we'll known writer's are
to contribute during this coming year.
One cannot putthe spirit of 50. Nicholas
into a prospectus. but the publishers are
glad to send a full announcement of the
features for 1891 aud a single sample copy
to the address of any person mentioning
this notice. Tie magazine costs $500 d
year. Address The Century Co.. 80 East

A GREAT AMERICAN MAGAZINE.
The Success of ''The Century and ffs
Plans For 1901

The Century Magazine is now so we'll
known that to tell of its past success
seems almost al old story. The n. Y.
Tribune has said that 1t and its companion.
ST. Nicholas for Young Folks, issued by the
same house. "are read by every one person
in thirty of the country's population,"-
and large editions of both are sent beyond
the seas, 1t is an interesting fact that a
few years ago it was found that seven
thousand copies of The Century went to
Scotland. quite a respectable edition in
itself. The question in England is no
longer WHO reads an American book?"
but Who does not see the American
magazines?'
A few years ago The Century about
doubled its circulation with the famous
Wal Papers, by General Grant and others,
adding many more readers later with the
Lincoln History and Remnants thrilling
articles ON the Siberian Exile System. One
great feature of 1901 is To be

of 1881, which was 1876 bushels. That of
1887 was 20.1 bushels. 1t is So per cent.
of the average of the last ten years, a
period which included four unusually poor
years, and only 70 per cent. of asst years
crop. The decline of the last decade is not
due to impairment of fertility, hut to IN
favorable meteorological influence. The
highest rates are in New England, as usual,
and the principal decline is in the corn
surplus States. The condition of the po-
tato crop in October was lower than in
any reported previous crop, except i'll 1887,
being Gil against G1.5, when the rate of

The yields of the hay crop are large, as a
