His Judgment Day is Coming.

Now listen. Seven hundred mill
lions of dollars is the snug sum
which this Christian nation spent
last year for rum, wine and beer.
At least so the national statistical
bureau afirms. Would it be too
much to add twice hat amount for
the direct and indirect bad conse-
qucnccs of the traffic? Twcnty-onc
hundred millions of dollars! But
what is the sense of talking about
dollars when you undertake to csti-
mate poverty, wrctchedness, blight,
tears, bleeding hearts, the ruin of
home, body, mind, soul, eternity ?
This is the darling that is 80 tcnderly
fondlcd by politicians, and protected
SO carefully by the laws of the ma
ton and commonwealth. But the
monster will not always be used so
well. His judgment day is coming
aye, is almost h~erc.-Epaoorth He-
raA0.

A LACK OF "EDDICATloN"-Says
a Saratoga correspondent: l met
dear old "fghting" Gov. Curtin, of
Pennsylvania, at the cottage one day.
He was just MS full of fun and story
telling IS ever. He said he was
once in a Southern hotel, so tired,
30 full of business and care, as to be
indifferent to creature comforts.
When he went to dinner, the waiter
politely handed him the bill of faro
and a low bow, and, "What will you
please TO order, sah?"
ooh, give me some dinner" said
the Governor, waving the menu
away, without looking at it, and
handed the darkey half a dollar.
E''ery day the same programme
was enacted; a grand darkcy bow,
menu offered, waved away, "give
me a dinner" and half a dollar.
And the waiter would hurry off,
and bring back everything on the
bill Of fare, with, no doubt, the men,
tai ejaculation "Well, dis yere
beats me! Who'd a think SIGH a
fine gemmen as he had no cddica-
ton"
The evening Gov. Curtin left, he
handed the silver as usual, and said {:
"Well, good-by, Jackson. You have
taken very good care of me-"
"T'ank you, sab. I'so awful sorry
to have you 60; drcfful sorry, in
deed, sah."
"Why, what's the matter"
"Dccd, sab, dcre's lots of gemmcn
come to dis yer hotel, but III one
came before what didn't know how
to read. I'se mortal sorry, honey
I mean sab; but 1 did my best to &c
you good dinners, sah."

An item on the rounds is to tho
effect that a professional swindler,
lately captured, has confessed that
he found his easiest victims among
the clergy. II was not because the
reverend gentlemen were less sharp
witted than the rest of mankind, as
n rule, but their fear that they might
be guilty of an injustice if they
suspect an attempt at imposition was
tho lover.
