How one Drunkard was Cured.
A young wife in Michigan had just
settled in her new home. All seemed
fair and promising, for she did not
know that her husband was drunk
ard. But one night he came home
very late and much the worse for
liquor. When he staggered into the
house she was very much shocked,
she told him he was very sick and
must lie down at once, and in a few
minutes he was fast asleep. his face
flushed purple and altogether he was
most pitiable object. The doctor was
sent for in haste and mustard applied
to his hands and feet. The doctor
felt the patients pulse and said: He
| is drunk; he'll be all right in the
morning." But the wife insisted
| that her husband was very sick and
demanded the use of severe remedies.
| Said she: You must shave his head
and apply blisters or l will send for

was accordingly shaved close and
blisters applied. The patient lay all
night in aldrnnken sleep, and notwith-
standing the blisters were eating into
his flesh, it was not till near morning
that he began to be disturbed by the
pain. About daylight he woke up to
theimost uncomfortable consciousness
of blistered agonies. ''What does
this meant" he said, putting his hands
to his bandaged head. Lie still, !"
said his wife, ''You must not stir, you
are very SICK Il am not sick" he
replied. ''0h yes, you are, you have
brain fever. We have worked with
YOU all night IL should think you

Fred Douglass a Prohibitionist.


Frederick Douglass. the most prom
inent colored man III this country,
has, in a recent letter, come out
squarely in favor of prohibition.
Among other things he says: 1.-The
colored people have a good many enc.
mics. but no one of them all is so de-
structive to their best interests
as their whisky drinking custom.
Slavery robbed them of their bodies,
but whisky destroys both soul and
body, and casts them into the horrid
pit of degradation and ruin. Few
things could do more for the elevation
and happiness of the colored people
than the Punishment of intoxicating
liquors. "-Hhacan.

Though trouble assail and danger alright,
Though friends should all fail and foes all unite,
Yet one thing secures us whatever betide,
And that is the license the voters provide.
The birds without barn or storehouse are fed;
From them let us learn to trust for our bread,
Well live without working, shall ne'er be denied
So long as the voters the license provide.
We all may. like, by tempest be tossed
On perilous deeps, but need not be lost,
For nothing shall harm US, in wind or in tide,
So long as the voters the license provide.
Our call they obey like Abram of old;
We've found out the way and faith makes us
bold;
For though we are strangers we have a sure
guide
To "handle" the voters who license provide.
No strength of our own nor goodness we claim;
Our trust is all thrown or revenues" name;
In this our strong tower for safety we hide;
Assured that the voters will license provide.
So let us keep the money in view
And lovers of gain will carry us through;
Not fearing, nor doubling, with them on our
side
Wen enter the conflict and open 1t wide.
