TEMPERANCE NEWS AM NOTES.
Mr.. Spurgeon signed the abstinence pledge
in 1856.
If those VINO are searching after a 'sure
cure for drunkenness" woull quit drinking
while they are looking for it they would find
it. +.
DR.. Norman Kerr says: sTotal absti-
nence is the surest way, all other things be-
ing equal, of attaining the highest physical,
mental, moral and every other kind OF
health"
The Rev Sam Jones says: ~ understand
that by actual mathematics it has been
shown that we tthe Americans, send to the
heather countries 10. 600 barrels Of whisky
to one missionary. The devil dosen't care
how many missionaries you send, if yousend
that amount Of WHISKY along with them"
J. W. Burns, Of Glasgow, with the largest
model lodging house in the world, aud also
the Superintendent of another Glasgow model
lodging, says that almost every case he had
come across of men who had fallen from good
positions to inhabit the lodging house was
caused by drink, and if the public houses
were only closet the homes might he closed
too. or there would soon be but little need
for them.
The undergraduates of Cambridge, Eng
land, have taken to drinking tea after din-
ner instead of wine. But though novel at
Cambridge, this practice has been in vogue
at Oxford for seventy years, the innovation
having been brought about by Newman and
Froude, even then famous. VINO induced
most of the other Fellows of Oriel to give up
wine in the common room after dinner and
substitute tea. T..

THERE are ugly reports that come
from China to the effect that the peo-
pie of that country are UP in arms
against the Christian missionaries
and residents sojourning there. The
conduct of the mob is such as to eX-
cite the resentment Of every civilized
and Christianized country on the face
of the globe. 1t is something that
will not be tolerated. Unless it is
stopped and restitution made gun
boats as thick as mosquitoes will be
getting around Chinese ports and
vengeance swift and terrible will be
the result. All this conceded. 1t
might be well here to pause and re-
feet on the causes which produced
the outbreak to the end that a recur-
renee Of the ugly scenes may be
avoided. AS far as this country is
concerned we are at a disadvantage.
We have solemnly excluded the Chi
nese, and with an inhospitality quite
unparalleled and strangely at variance
with our Fourth Of July claim to be
the refuge Of the oppressed Of all
countries" We have treated the &C.
lestials rather roughly in many in
stances, not always stopping short Of
wholesale slaughter. Then we are
sending missionaries to convert the
so-called heathen-a piece Of impu-
dence on our part unexampled-while

and blind to the wants Of the needy

BY many a rushing river,
Through many a palmy plain,

The Ian from errors chain.
While at the anne time there are
millions undelivered from errors
chain in our own country. With so
many conflicting creeds, all entitled
to the most profound respect, and
with the teachings of the Savior in
terpreted in so many ways, it would
be more seemly for our missionaries
to remain at home until their differ
ences were settled, and let the Chi
nese heather take are of themselves.

THE POWER OF

A well-known Christian merchant OF this
city not long g had an urgent telegram
calling him to see an old friend residing In q
suburban town, says the Temperance Id
vocate. When hearrived ct the house Of
his friend he found the latter very III, and
only expected to live "a few hours. This
friend asked to see him alone, and when by
themselves, said
my doctor tells me that 1 can live at the
most but t~wenty-four hours. I wanted once
more to see you, and to say to you something
that I have never told you. In early life,
as young men, they had met in this city, in
business relations, and it was at that period
that the close bond of personal friendship
was formed. They . much together in
society, and had great happiness in each
other. The one WHO was about to pass away
had in his young manhood, a. cousin, O.
beautiful young lady, in this city, in whose
society both these friends passed much time.
On one occasion she gave an elegant! party,
at which both were, in attendance. During
the evening when refreshments were served,
she came to the friend Of her cousin, and
asked him to drink with her glass Of wine.
Very fond Of her, the young man was sorely
perplexed, bnt finally declined, saying: 1
will do anything for you that l properly
can, but I cannot drink the glass Of wine."
Turning from him with somewhat an air OF
displeasure, she said:
well, I will go to" ther cousin, he
will drink it with me" She crossed the
room to her cousin, extended the invitations
to him with the air of confident expectation,
but he also declined, greatly to her astonish-
ment, and not a little TO her chargin. In
this last interview, many years after the
party in question, one thing which passed
between these two old friends was the state-
ment of the one who was about to die. which
he wished to make as something OF a con-
fession to the effect that he was at the time
an observer across the room OF what trans.
PRED with his cousin, and though he had
never before thought Of abstaining from m
to1icatiug beverages, to the social use OF
which he had always been accustomed, IN
huenced by the example OF his friend In de-
clining, he also determined to decline. De
wished now to make acknowledgment OF
his gratitude for this eventtul incident In
his life, which he had no doubt had saved
him from excuses and ruin, which, In MS
case, would have almost certainly followed
the continuance of the drink habit.
In this incident may DO seen a practical
illustration of the power OF right example.
Its influence is sometimes more potent and
far-reaching thar words Of counsel alone,
however good they may be. May every one,
young and old, realize in the light or this
dying statement Of one friend to another, the
great value and Importance OF the abstain
er's example to others.

1t is the general impression that the
reading of dime novels aud kindred lit
erature is confined TO the imaginative,
aspiring youths and sentimental or
stage struck maidens. Although this
impression is 10 a large extent correct
there is a class of readers who indulge
in the cheap libraries who are never
suspected of having any such weakness.
