members of churches. On a single
evening 16s young men entered ten
churches, prayer meetings, and the

The undergraduates of Cambridge,
Eng, have taken to drinking tea
after dinner instead of wine. But
though novel at Cambridge this prac-
tiee 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
THE London Standard, in an article
upon the French experts in the
adulteration of liquors, declares that
there is scarcely any genuine wine or
brandy in the market. 1t cites the
testimony in case of litigation in the
French courts which shows that the
art of initiating the brandy distilled
from grapes is now so perfect that
only by analysis can it be discovered
to be an imposture 1t adds that NJ.
Jacquemin, an cnterprising French
man, has succeeded in producing de-
licious wines without any grapes at
all" This is perplexing dilemma
for wine drinkers. A good way out OF
it is to drink no wine at all
HENRY A. HART, NJ. D., SAYS.
Drunkenness is a voluntary lunacy,
which causes three-fourths of the
crimes of violence, and, exclusive of
itself, two-thirds of all other crimes
and two thirds of the pauperism under
which the people groan. II the doors
of all the insane asylums in the land
were thrown open and the whole army
of involuntary lunatics were let loose
it is doubtful whether they would pro-
duce one-half the devastation and hor.
rors which flow from this atrocious
vice. Can any man of common sense
ask if this is a crime. or question the
right and duty of society to punish it,
both for its own protection and as
preventiye?"

Rum in Africa.

1t is a pitiful story which mission
ar les in Africa tell about the effect of
the rum taken into that continent. no
little portion of which goes from Bos-
ton. We have just been reading the
memorial which the last general as
sembly of the Presbyterian church
ordered its committee to prepare and
send to the United States senate, and
we hope many such memorials,
signed with the names of many petit
TONERS, viii be sent in. If our states
and nation cannot do the right thing at
home, we hope the treaty of Brussels,
already signed by sixteen governments
and now awaiting the signature of our
own, which treaty guarantees the re-
striction of the slave and liquor trafiies
in the Free Congo State. will receive
the sanction of our senate, that the
nation may be relieved of a disgrace
which every patriotic American should
feel is resting on us.-Sabbath Re

Gifted Men Who Have Led Their Admir-
ers to Drink
More than a score of years ago. an
eminent musical composer. whose
music is heard to-day in thousands OF
places of religious worship throughout
the land, was suddenly cut down by
the reaper Death.
How sadl'' "How mysterious"
many people said.
One who knew him best said: HE
was taken away from the evil TO
come" for, alasl though he had great
gifts. and was an influential member
of the church OF God, he often resorted
to artificial stimulants to keep up the
strength which he felt he must have TO
conduct his conventions successfully.
sWhat harm can a glass of beer do
so great and good man as -" was
said by some.
Others said: "If - can drink a
glass of beer, / can He surely is
good man."
How many feet were thus turned
into the way of death will never be
known. One has come under our OBJ
seryation, where death alone delivered
the victim from the power of tempta-
ton. We looked upon the still, white
face but little while ago and heard a
bereaved one say: ''E. tried SO hard
to resist temptation. 1t cannot reach
him now.
