Look Not upon the Wine when it is Red.
BY MARGARET HILTON.

Oh, woman beautiful and fair,
With the softly radiant eye,
Look not upon the wine-cup red,
Pass il untasted by.
Oh, seal IL not with those pure lips
Whence words of love should flow;
Give not thy sanction, will or sign
To guilt, despair. and woe.
Art thou mother? Look around
Upon thy household pearls
On the bright brows OF noble boys,
And gentle, trustful girls.
Think what their fate If one, perchance.
With winning grace like thine,
Should press 10 their unsnllied lips
The poison draught of winel
Art thou wife? Oh, Jealous guard
The high and lofty truth
OF him, the fondly chosen one,
The husband Of thy youth
Place not the bright temptation near
lfpeace thou would'st retain;
The household hearth, by wine dehled,
Hopes torch lights not again.
Hrt thou maiden? gentle, young,
With soft, beseeching eye
Entreat thy hearts elected one
To pass the wine-eup BY
With firm and steady Outstretched hand,
Debar the sparkling bowl;
Keep reasons impress on his brow,
Its light within his soul.
Oh, sister, friendl lift up your voice
To save from future woes.
Let your sweet tones avoidance win
of the red wine that flows.
The dark, red wine, whose blighting stain
Delaces manhood's worth,
And strews with household wrecks and
shrines
The fairest scenes Of earth.
oh, mother daughter, sister, wifeI
oh, women, heed the call!
Unused to life's stern battle strife,
Let here your influence fall
In pity for the broken hearts
For reasons shattered shrine
Lift up your gentle, pleading voice
Beware the flowing wine"

Smokers in PUBLIC.

What a prodigious amount of an
ger is evolved when anybody rises
to object to the too prevalent custom
of cigar.smokers making a nuisance
of themselves in public. People who
carry lighted cigars into the elevated
trains, or who send smoke and ashes
into street car from the front plat
form, or in other ways and places
show that they are not gentlemen,
understand quite well that they annoy
somebody. But they are indignant
that anybody should be annoyed.
They know that Tobacco is unpleas-
ant'to many people, and they are saw
age because it is unpleasant. Then
they preterd that their sensibilities
are affected by women chewing gum,
and they want correctOr which is
only to be found in tobacco. Or if
less disposed TO be argumentative,
they simply curse their neighbors
who object to bad smoke and go on
their way. The fact is that people
who respect the feelings of others are
getting very scarce, and it is one of
the consequences of the mob forcing
itself into ascendency. The man who
cannot ride few miles without the
aid of a bad cigar must be poor
creature. Nelo York Saturday Re

The duty of doing, not great things,
but what we can, is the very top and
sum of human obligation. One can't
get beyond it; one ought not to stop
this side of it. 1t means the doing of
everything you can, and chiefly it
means the doing of things that issue
out of the heart toward God and man.
1t means the setting aside of the self,
and laying out ones best energies in
unselfsh, not to be requited, service.
1t means not merely occupation, in
dustry, attainment, but noble indus
try, occupation, attainment; not
merely busy hands, but busy affec-
tions, sympathies, purposes. You
