THE VILLAGE CORNET BAND.

Among the recollections OF those life-enchanted
days,
When Santa Claus was real to me, and bogie-man
and fays,
The thing 1 best remember as then seeming
supergrand
Was the music and the marching Of the village
cornet band.
As the first reverberation Of the brasses' mar
tial blare,
Like an echo, faint and fading. foated to us on
the air,
All the Youngsters helter-skelter rushed away
with flying feet,
For that thing of joy, the cornet band, was com
ing down the street
The boys forgot their marbles, yea, and even
bats and ball,
And our very little sister her decapitated DOH;
For what were life's bereavements, or its ordi
nary joys,
When the celebrated cornet band was making
martial noises
The bands pcrambulation being viewed withou,
expense,
The excitement in the village was cxccedingl,
intense;
All business came to sudden stop. for who coult
coldly trade
When our beatific cornet band was out for Z
parade
The whole village was in tumult-so at least &
seemed 10 me
With everybody rushing for place 10 hear aBc
see,
And even ancient citizens Of seventy or more,
As excited as their grandsons, came a-hobbline
to the door.
What vision twas Of glory as the band cam,
sweeping past.
And what looks OF admiration were upon Tho
heroes cast
How magnificent their uniforms OF yellow, greer
and red
How very splendidly they played, and what
kingly tread
And the major All! the major, most majestic
ally high
How he pranced along curvetting, and wha
hauteur in his eyel
How envied his prominence agility and skill
AS he boldly tossed his scepter up and spun i
round at will.
Since that magic day OF childhood have trav
.eled far and wide,
And have heard the worlds maestros in thei
majesty and pride;
But I've never heard symphony that sounde,
half so grand
AS the tune of Yankee Doodle" by that villag
cornet band
Those magic halo days, alas were 1eetng an
were few;
Too quickly, far too quickly, all the dear illu
sions few:
Yet even now when memories come surping o'e
my soul
] can see the band a-marching and can hear tn

SElF-DEGRADATlON.


Nothing So Low and Depraved as the
Drunkard.
What is a drunkard? / have gone
through the whole creation that lives,
and find nothing in it like the drunk
ard. The drunkard is nothing but a
drunkard. There is no other thing in
nature to which he can be hkened. The
drunkard is self-made wretch, who
has depraved and has gratified the de-
PRAYED cravings of the throat and body,
until he has sunk his soul so far that it
is lost in his flesh, and sunk his very
flesh lower down beyond comparison
than that of the animals which serve
him.
He is self-degraded creature, whose
degradation is made manifest to every
one but himself: a self-made miserable
being who, while he is insensible to his
own misery, afflicts everyone around
him or belonging to him with misery.

alone; never unaccompanied by some
horrid crime, if not by wicked crowd
of them.
Go to the house of a drunkard, con-
slider his family, look on his affairs
listen to the sounds that proceed from
the house of drunkenness and the
house of infamy as you pass. Survey
the insecurity of the public ways and
of the night streets. Go to the hospital,
to the house of charity and the bed of
Indebtedness. Enter the courts of
justice, the prison and the condemned
cell. Look at the haggard features of
the ironed criminal Ask all these why
they exist to distress you, and you will
everywhere be answered by tales and
recitals of drunkenness. And the mis-
cries and the vices and the sorrow and
the scenes of sufferings that have har-
rowed up your soul, were almost with
out exception either prepared by drink
ing, or were undergone for procuring
the means of satisfying this vice and
the vices which sprung from it.-Arch'

ALCOHOL NOT A STiMUCANT
Extract from a Lecture by DIR. j. III. kel-

Extract from a Lecture by DIR. J. ii. Kel-
logg, of the Battle Creek Sanitarium.
Careful investigation has demon
strated the fact that alcohol, in all its
forms, is narcotic and depressant, and
not stimulant as hitherto regarded.
1t is given in cases of weakness, but it
paralyzes instead of stimulating the
functions of the body. Hence the very
conditions under which it is generally
used are the ones in which it should be
specially withheld. When a person is
fainting, if alcohol is administered, it
will lessen the vital stimulation which
already exists. The stimulation which
rises while the brandy is going down
the throat may enable one to recover
for a little while, but a much better
treatment is to apply hot water to the
back of the neck, or alterations of
heat and cold to the spine. l think l
would guarantee to accomplish by
means of external applications of this
sort as much in one half or one quarter
of the time that is usually occupied in
the administration of alcohol, and the
danger from alcohol would be avoided
|
Alcohol was formerly used as a
routine medicine in cases of fever. If
the doctor was afraid his patient would
get too low, he would give him brandy,
and If he thought he was likely to die
he would make him swallow a large
quantity of alcohol. l have known
cases in which patients were un.
doubtedly poisoned to death by the use
of alcohol.
Formerly in the London hospitals.
every one who had fever had to have
alcohol, which was denominated a
supporting medicine" Many patients
were in fact kept drunk all the while.
However, in recent reports from Lon
don hospitals it appears that the use of
alcohol is reduced TO tenth part what

TEMPERANCE NOTES.
A CRAZEO MOTHER.


Z woman who UnconscIousIy Advocates
Temperance.
A New York physician related the
follwing fact, which has not before
appeared in print:
A few weeks ago he was called to the
heir of a man who had been mortally
wounded in one of the low dance halls
or dives" of that city. When he had
attended to his patient, the doctor
looked curiously about him. The
wounded man lay before the bar.
against which lounged some ragged old
sots In the next room "a few young
men, flushed and bright-eyed, were play
ing cards, while the gaudily dressed
barmaids carried about the liquor.
But neither the gamblers nor the
women nor the drunkards paid any at
tention to the dying man on the floor.
They squabbled and laughed, deaf to
his groans. The proprietor of the dive,
. burly fellow who had been a prize
fighter in his younger days, having seen
the police secure the Murderer, had
gone back quietly to his work of mix
ing drinks Death apparently had no
interest or terror for these people.
Suddenly a little old woman, with
white hair, thin shawl drawn about
her, came to the street door. Her APP
rearance produced a startling effect.
- bcsotted old men at the bar put
town their glasses and looked at her
uneasily; the card players hastily shut
the door to keep out the sight of her,
and the barmaids hud2led together in
silence; but the change in the brutal
landlord was the most striking. He
rose hastily and came up to her, an ex-
preston of something like terror on his
face.
rs James here?" she asked, gently.
No, no, he is not here. l do not
know where he isl he said, hurriedly.
She looked about bewildered. Il was
sure he was here. If he comes, will
you tell him his mother wants him
sir?'
"Yes, yes" The man urged her ou'
of the door. The physician soon fol
lowed, and saw her going into another
and another dive and grogshop along
the street.
who is she?" he asked a policeman
outside. is she In no danger?"
The man shook his head significantly
They'll not harm her, sir. They'v,

son, a boy of sixteen years. The,

then to the variety theaters, and at las
to these dives here.
''He was killed in one of them in

home to her, bloated from drink an,
covered with blood, and dead.
