What the Late DIR. spurgeon Thought OF
Water and of whisky.


Water and of Whisky.
Water is the strongest drink. 1t
drives millA 1t is the drink Of lions
and horses; and Samson himself never
drank anything else. Let young men
be teetotalers, il only for economy's
sake. The beer will soon build house.
IL what goes into the mashtub went
into the kneading trough, families
would be better fed and better taught.
II what is spent in waste were saved
against a rainy day, poorhouses would
never be built.
The man who spends his money with
the publican and thinks the landlords
bow and "How do you do, my good fell
low" means true respect is O perfect
simpleton. We don't light fires for the
behring's comfort, but to roast him.
Men do not keep pothouses for the Ia
borer's good. If they do they certainly
miss their aim. Why, then, should peo-
pie drink ''for the good Of the house?'
IL / spend money for the good OF the
house, let it be my own house and not
the landlords. 1t is bad well into
which You must put water, anu tne
beerhouse is q bad friend because it
takes your all and leaves you nothing
but headache.
He who calls those his friends who
let him sit and drink by the hour to-
gether is ignorant, very ignorant. Why,
red lions and tigers and eagles and vul-
lures are all creatures of prey, and why
do SO many put themselves within the
power of their jaws and talons? Such
as drink and live riotously, and wonder
why their faces are 80 blotched and
their pockets SO bare, would leave of
wondering if they had two grains Of
wisdom. They might as well ask an
elm tree for pears as to look to loose
habits for health and wealth. Those
who go to the public house for happiness
climb a tree for fsh.-C. Ii. Sturgeon.

oneer Of last week, says:
You may throw mud, and some
of it can always be counted upon
to stick. SO the statement that
the republican party is a prohibi-
ton party, if repeated again and
again would perforce with some
hearers, be credited. In some To-
calitics it was so credited, and it
really looked as though the rcpub-
lican party would lose from these
democratic statements, some votes
that they had always counted up
on. But the democratic party
came to the rescue of the rcpubli-
can party in good style. While
still repeating, parrot like, the old
story that the republicans were
prohibitionists. they themselves
stepped ungracefully into the trap
that had been laid for them. They
turned in and endorsed a ticket
worked for and voted for ticket
that had on it some of the
strongest pfohibitionists in the
state. They took these prohibi
tionists and tabled them-"Demo
