A temperance sermon

4 temperance sermon? 'Tis lying there,
With IL crimson seal on the flooring bare,
Written dark and deep on the battered clay,
What more could The voice of the preacher
say?
Than the helpless han ds ofu murdered wife,
Cut deep where they fought with frenzied
knife?
Little fingers frail, that were softly kissed.
Ere n loving hand grew a drunkard's fist;
They are cold-so cold-with their bloody
stain;
They can never plead for her life again;
But for other lives praying loudly they call,
Lifted up 10 God from their ruddy pail.
Little, dainty feet, that were wont 10 pass
BY The hedgerows sweet, through the meadow
grass.
In the shabby shoes ofa drunkard's vie
They have toiled on the thorny road q life
To the crimson door with its faded stain,
Out of trials keen, ont OF want and pain.
Pallid. parted lips. All. they used 10 know
Merry. girlish songs in the long ago.
They have learned, alas. how the watchers
sigh,
How The hungry moan, how the fearful cry.
Till the mouth is set with lines of care
Is there better preaching than this elsewhere?
Doth the circle small of IL goblet's brim,
Grave and galows hold in its shining nm!
Can the liquid fire, with its glowing spark.
Steal the light away from the homestead dark?
Ask the solemn face, hungry, pinched and
white,
Can Il felon's death yonder treason right?

Wherever the national convention of the
goes it leaves new Unions i'll its wake. One
of these is a new "Y" in Atlanta, Ga,
with sixty members.
That very good 'brother-in-law of the

Ferdinand Schumacher, offers to give $500

as much as may be received flom all other

The National Temperance hospital, To-
Gated in Chicago and belonging to the
Woman's Christian Temperance union,
has treated 100 patients since last April,
coming fIom ten states. The hospital is
ont of debt and in better financial condition
than ever before.
After hearing the address OF welcome
given in the national convention by
Georgia's governor Northen, the Union
Signal is moved to exc!aim: IF lie is a
sample of the kind Of governors farmers

all the governors in the land,
The recent national convention passed
numerous resolutions on the usual subjects
including franchise, and some touchingmore
on new lines. Among these were the recon-
mepdation of kiudergalteps and industrial
training in all public schools, request to
both capitalist aid laborer to study the
temperance question in the interest of their
relations and commendation Of the action
OF the government in refusing the use of
the mails to lotteries.

1t is said to be sure cure for drunken
ness, and it is proposed to erect there an
inebriate asylum under the auspices of the

From one thousand to twelve hundred
women and men visited the springs. An
arch of wel come had been erected and Il
barbecue was ready for the guests, and
around four hundred yards of tables, in a
hollow square, they were served with tra-
ditional southern hospitality. AS usual
with this kind of folk, they made havoc
W ith the water and woke the echoes with
a Methodist hymn. The Indians knew of
this water long before the whites discov-
cred it, and met there in powwow in early
days. A singular fact is that one of their
descendants. Mrs. Jane Stapler, of Indian
territory. is the Woman's Christian Tenn
perance Union president of that territory.
She is the daughter of an Indian mother
and Scotch father, and in her childhood
had been led to this spring TO drink by her
