Ergo, this world will not be a failure.
1t needs, | admit, great deal of fixing
up, and we will help on the matter by
not mixing things and by not expecting
religion to do that which it never pro.
posed to do. God is no more the
GCd of the Bible than He is the God
OF science. In the great day for which
all other days were made, may it be
found that each one OF US has done
something for the improvement of the

ton 0! the race, and toward putting
the world into the blooming condition

TALMAGE ON THE KELLEY CURE

In one of his Friday evening talks,
DR.. Talmage spoke as follows: He
said
ga faint light on the drunkard's sky
had made him think that morning was
coming. DR.. Keeley, 1t was said, had
compounded medicine that would
cure alcoholism, ever eight hundred
inebriates had been saved, and less
than one per cent Of those who had
graduated from this treatment had
fallen. If an antidote to this poison of
body, mind and soul has really been
made, it is more improvement than
Pasteur's cure Of hydrophobia, than
koch's cure OF consumption. At the
time when the world had begun to
shout that at last the fiery thirst for
strong drink might be extirpated by
medical prescription, one of the chief
advocates of the new mode of disen-
thralment dies of alcoholism on Black
wells Island. As a result, multitudes
are crying 'humbug. Nothing on all
the shelves of pharmacopea can con-
quer this appetite. Now, l am not in
sympathy with this outcry. If a new
discovery would take 500 cases in hand
and lose 500 of them, the remaining
800 saved are victory gained, enough
to fill heaven and earth with celebration.
People have died of smallpox after
vaccination, but that is nothing against
vaccination. People have died of sin
after joining the church, but that IS
nothing against religion. Give the
discOverer a chance. He proposes
nothing but good, and let HIM go ahead
with his work. OF this one thing | am
certain, if DR.. keeley's bi chloride Of
gold does not achieve the thing pro-
posed, some other medicine will. 1t is
high time that the whole medical pro-
fession of Christendon rose up in their
might and put down this appetite which
has taken SO large part Of the human
race by the throat. 1t is disgrace to
men OF genius N this latter part OF the
nineteenth century that so little has
been accomplished for the Gripping OF
this monster of alcoholism, to say moth
ing OF its extirpation. Medical science
ought to be able to provide something
beside three men holding down a patient
in paroxysms OF delrlum tremens. For
the sake of agonized humanity, cheer
on the doctors rather than fill the air
with shouts of 'humbug,' because here
and there may be conspicuous failure.
The doctor who shall demonstrate that
this hot panther of sease thirst can be
slain erght to monument as
high as SartE -stv.

A smile of genuine pleasure lit VI
the face of Mrs. Elmore. She sa
very still for a moment, and then
with the manner of one who hac
drawn back her thoughts for some
thing agreeable, she said:
1t is very pleasant for me to heal
such testimony in regard to my hus
band. No one knows so we'll as
do how deeply his heat is in his
work.

warm blood mounted to the forehead

Mrs. Elmole smiled briefly, and
as the light faded from her ccunten
ance, said in her grave Impressive
way:
| trust we are beginning to under
stand each other. But l think a
word or two more is required to
make my position clear
In arranging Tor my husband 5

regard to mine.
If the congregation expected ser.
vice from me, the fact should have
stated. Then | would have COM
municated my views in the case, and
informed the congregation that / had
neither time nor taste for public
duties.
If this had been unsatisfactory, the
proposition to my husband could
have been withdrawn. As it is,

your Kindness, and your fellowship.
If there are ladies in the congrega-
who have the time, the inclination,
and the ability to engage in the
more public uses to be found in all
religious societit s, let them, by all
ms ans, take the precedence. They
will have their reward in Just the
degree that they act from purified
Christian motives. AS for me my
chief duties, as l have said before
lie at home, and God being my
helper, l will faithfully do them.
Right, Mrs. Elmore, right. said
speaking for the first time, but with
a warmth that showed my earnest
ness. You have stated the case
exactly. When we engaged your
husbands services nothing was stipu-
lated, as you have said, in regard to
yours, and | now see that no more
can be justly required OF you than
any other lady in the congregation.
| give you my hand as an equal and
a sister, and thank you for having
put my mind right on a subject that
has always been little confused.

WHERE THE SHOE PINCHEs.

The party of higher law and moral
principles is desperately opposed 10
the Australian ballot law, which Is
intended to prev ent fraud in elec-
lions. Whv should these political
Puritans oppose a law that enables
every man, no matter how poor or
dependant he may be, to cast his tai
lot in secret, so that no man but
himself need ever know for whom
he voted? One would naturally eX-
pect that Republican saints VINO
claim to have all the patriotism oil
the country in their ranks, would
welcome such law.
They are constantly bowling about
Democratic fraud in the Southern
elections, but they change their
tune very suddenly when a Jaw Il
being put into operation in the
North which will prevent the pro
tected classes from cOercing their
employees into supporting the fe-
publican party.
TneyIknow that when these en-
pIoyees can vote against their EN-
blowers without danger OF losing
their positions and the bread that
feeds their families, that there will
be a great gain to Democracy.
They know further, that they
can't bride voters 50 successfully al
they have been in the habit OF do
ing; and they know when they cal
no longer use intimidation and bri
berry that the rotten hulk of Repuoll
canism will soon go to peices.

ECONOMIES pIsIUReEn
A Big Strike Likely tn occur in the socL
city Near Pittsburg.

a big SJflke Likely th pcouE III bAio oOSA
ely Near Pittsburg.
PITrsBCRG, Oct. 20.-Trustee Duss, Of
the Economic society, has conceived
and is about to put in force an innova-
ton that may cause a strike among the
hired help of that quaint little ec1n-
munity,
Upwards of 800 persons are employed
by the Harmony society, They are all
natives of the Fatherland or of German
extraction. The new departure is likely
to affect their financial condition, and
it is but natural that subdued murmurS
of disapproyal are heard throughout the
village.
The fundamental nrinctpte Of the
ECOpGm!toS is communism, ana the
motto that has guided the society
through all the long years of its exist
ence has been "One for all aud all for
one" Trustee Duss strikes direct at
this guiding principle and throws aside
one of the most sacred rules OF the Ven
cradle president, Father Heinrich,
Heretofore. every man, woman and
child, whether member or servant, have
gotten their livelihood from one common
store. The laborer, the mechanic and
| the tiller of the soil have Toasted at the
same board as tho afficers and members
of the s;,ciety.
At devotional exercises last Sunday
Trustee DUss looking down into the
faces of his $40 subjects, from the emf
nence of the pulpit, declared that on and
after November l. of the current
year. all persons not members of the
| Economic society would be expected to
take care of themselves.
They would have to rent aud furnish
their own houses he said, and as FOR
provisions. no one could get groceries
free at the company store except those
who had taken VOWS of celibacy. All
others would have to pay cash for pro
visions. OF course, he said, there would
be g. corresponding increase in wage
earning. but the society desired II rid
itself of the keepiDg IF Its employees.
Ihs amour cement fell like bolt Of
! thunder among the good German folk,
| and many were there who could not up-
| derstand its import.
The announcement OF Mr.. Duss has
| created much dissatisfaction, which
may result III the withdrawal of a mum
! Der Of the society's most able and trusted
| servants. or in other words result II q
strike.
In an interview Trustee Duss confirms
| tho story, saying, I'VE will rent the
| houses to the people for a reasonable
sum, and they can buy their groceries
wherever they choose"
The society has made great prepare
! tions TO celebrate Columbus Day next
Friday. They have built a model of the
! Santa Marie, and it will be foated in the
creek amid songs by the children and
music by the Economic brass band, II
| will float down the Ohio river. \ con.
