The September issue of the Cosmo-
politan Magazine is a 'woman's num-

articles is concerned, but the general
interest of the periodical is sustained BY
the variety and timeliness of the topics
treated. The opening article, on

Breaking the jug.
Selected.

| k,OicSeCeAs
Among the German "Brethern in
Christ" in Pennsylvania, was one Isaac
Price, who was eminent as preacher
Of the Gospel, and wise and gracious
counsellor-at the same time be was
diligent and prosperous 10 the business
of this world, and few were more hon-
ored and esteemed. A friend in Ger
mantown, Pa, relates the following
instance in his life, and which illus,
trates his thoughtfulness and conscien.
tiousness. For many years Isaac Price
kept country store where supplies Of
all kinds were furnished, and in those
days ardent spirits were among the
commodities obtainable, and Of course
we're included 10 his stock of goods.
Il expect there are those among your
subscribers and readers, Mr.. Editor,
that remember when ardent spirits were
common commodity ola country store
in this district and in this county,
One day, man who was already in
debted to Isaac some forty odd dollars,
came to buy quantity of goods. His
means were limited and he was not alb g
to buy all he de ed, but he took car,
among his earlier purchases to include
a gallon Of liquor-and then, as he
watched the expenditure Of money he
brought, he said he wanted to get his
girl pair of shoes, but he should have
to let them go for the time, as he was
unable to pay for them.
His words sank into the heart Of
Isaac Price, and there came before his
mind the sight of the poor little shoe
less girl, deprived of what she needed
for comfort, while her father had spent
for rum the money which should have
bought the shoes. He studied over the
matter for little time when he said to
the man IF you will let me break
this jug, and promise to never drink
any more strong drink, / will give you
pair of shoes for your daughter, and
will forgive you all you owe me-" His
customer thought for awhile, and after
due consideration accepted the proposal.
Isaac broke the mans jug, spilled the
contents on the ground, and set all the
liquor he had running, and never sold
any more of it.
Years after as Isaac Price was going
to neighboring church to attend a
meeting. be was met at the railway
station by person who was to convey
him to the place appointed. The man,
though stranger, seemed to know
Isaac, who after some little conversa
ton, remarked: You seem to have
the advantage of me. | do not know
you.' "Do not know me?" said he, II
am the man whose jug you broke"
That jug-breaking was the turning
point in that mans life. and he was
glad to take Isaac with him and show
him what a comfortable and happy
home he had, as the result Of breaking
that jug.

The writer remembers a man, now
deceased, that was well known in this
9th Election District, a man of known
integrity. and very prominent in the
county. When about thirty years Of
age he commenced to take his "bi,ters'
every morning after breakfast. After
while he began to take them just be.
fore breakfast; then after his morning
foddering of the cattle; then after he
arose and the fire was made, until finally
he could hardly wait to get his clothes
on before he must have his drink
Like Isaac Price he began to think,
and stopped short, and banished every
thing intoxicating from his home He
lived to good age, respected and
useful citizen, prominent in all the
reforms of the age, and an ardent tenn.
peranee man. He found his appetite
growing for it. as it will with every
one, and be had the courage to "break
the jug" and thereby save his soul from
destruction and death.
Dear reader, for the sake Of God and
for the sake of all you hold dear
sweetheart, wife, mother, father, sis
tiers. all-''break the jug" at once. and
may God help you.
