A Touching Letter.

-D"t"sOHheottH Wnlcn is applicable
because only too true an experience
of parents, in every town in our
country. With tho hope that its
publication in the REGIsTER may
be the means ofhelping some young
man who is on the down grade
seeing the result of his course and
abandoning it, we reproduce the
letter: .
aMY DEAR Son. What would you
think of yourself if you should come
to our bedside every night, and
awakening us, tell us that You
would not allow us to sleep any
more2 That is just what you are
doing; and that is just why I am up
here a little after midnight writing
70 yon. Yonr mother is nearly
worn out with turning from side to
side, and sighing because you wort
let her sleep. That mother who
nursed you in your infancy, toiIed
for you in your childhood, and look
ed with pride and joy upon you as
you were gowing up to manhood, as
she counted on the comfort and sup
port you would give her in her de-
clining years. We read of most
barbarous manner in which one OF
the Oriental nations Furnishes some
of its criminals. 1t is by cutting
the flesh from the body in small
Pieces-slowly cutting off the limbs,
beginning with the fingers and toes,
one joint at time, till the wretch
ed victim dies. That is just what
you are doing-you are killing your
mother by inches You have plant
ed many of the white hairs that are
appearing so thickly in her head
before time. Your cruel hand is
drawing the lines of sorrow on her
dear face making her look prema-
turely old. You might as we'll stick
your knife into her body every time
you come near her, for your conduct
is stabbing her to the heart. You
might as well bring her coffin and
force her into it, for you are press
ing her toward it with very rapid
steps. Would you tread on her
body if Frustrated on the floor?
And yet with ungrateful foot you
are treading on her heart and crush
ing out its life and joy-no. L needn't
say Joy for that is word we have
long ceased to use, because you have
taken it away from us. OF course
we have tomeet our friends with
smiles, but they little know of the
bitterness within. You have taken
all the roses out of your sisters
pathway, and scattered thorns in
stead, and from the pain they inflict
scalding tears are often seen cours-
ing down her checks. Thus YOU
are blighting her life as we'll as ours
And what can You promise yourself
for the future? Look at the miser-
able, bloated, ragged wretches,
whom you meet every day on the
streets, and see in them an exact
picture of what you are fast coming
to, and will be in a few years. Then
in the end drunkard's grave and
drunkard's dooml For the Bible
says: "No drunkard shall inherit
the kingdom of God" Where, then,
will you be? If not in the kingdom
of God You must be somewhere else.
Will not these considerations in
duce you to quit at once and for all
time? And may God help you, for
he can, and he will if you earnestly
ask him.
Your affectionate but sorrow
stricken father"

WAUsAU, Wis, Dec. 19.-The city po-

efforts of the police to dislodge them

crowd pressed forward against the two
large rows of men who had been stand

Several of these men were thrown down
and trampled under foot in the rush,

the mob was too unwieldly and obsti-

disturbances tonight or tomorrow,
however, and there is likely to
