this thing to be done? True it is that
the saloonist, or the man who
pours out for so much money
the Intoxicating drink that crazes
his victim, is the one who gives his
neighbor drink. The person who keeps
liquor in the house and deals it out to
the members of the family, to friends
or neighbors, gives his neighbors drink.
This man puts the social glass" of the
home to the lips OF his neighbor.
The man who himself indulges in the
intoxicating cup, whether he be so
called moderate drinker or an habitual
patron of the glass, not only puts the
bottle to his own lips with one hand,
but by his example, his influence, by
his life, helps with the other hand lift
the bottle to his neighbor's lips also,
and he gives his neigh Dor drink.
The person who, having opportuni-
ties and powers within his control to
help stem this tide of iniquity, sits by
and views the scene of misery caused
by this terrible curse with indifference,
allowing men to be murdered in body
and in soul, without once lifting the
hand in protest; men and women who
see men burdened to the very crushing
with the terrible appetite for drink,
and yet never lifting as much as the
little finger to ease that burden-these
men give their n.ighbors drink. Men
and who have it in their power to stop
this terrible state of affairs; who have
1t in their power to rise as one and shut
every door of every saloon in these
United States, never to be opened again;
these all give their neighbors drink.
"Woe unto him that giveth his neigh
Dor drink. 30. II. F. Stevens, in Ma
tional Temperance Advocate.
Mississippi leader. (Jackson, Miss.) 1892-1895, 1893-12-12

a position to know better the relation
of the drink habit to crime than judges
of long experience upon the bench.
Further than this, he brings in
evidence the Black Record, a Pc
riodical published by the United
Kingdom Temperance alliance, made
up entirely of cuttings from the news
paper press. From the clippings of re-
ports of the common courts, it is shown
that within single fortnight 4O6 cases
of crime arising from drink were dealt
with.
As to the mental diseases arising from
habitual intoxication, Arehdeacon Far
rar quotes Mr.. Mulhall, one of the high
est authorities in that country, who
states that 4S per cent. of all the idiocy
in England arises from the drunken
ness of parents, and that one-third of
all the cases of insanity is caused by
the drink habit. Furthermore, Mr..
Mulhall states that IS out of every 100
divorces are brought about by drink.
The archdeacon complains that this
infamous wholesale ruin of humanity
is practically without any check; that
scarcely one effective measure has been
established for the protection of So
ciety, for the assistance of the weak
and defenceless, and for "the curtail-
ment of the sources of Generalization
which may be brought under the con-
troll of law" And he scores the Chris
tian church for not rousing itself on
this subject. and working for unity Of
afnrt 70 La <o1 IL
and interminable evil, which is
the root of crime and the cor
ruption of soul, and which, as Mr..
Gladstone said. has inflicted greater
calamities than the great historical
scourges, war, pestilence and famine,
combined. AS a corporate body, the
church has never done that which she
could have done, and what she ought
to have done"
The archdeacon also discusses the
various methods of non-legislative
action, and chief among these he puts
the spread of education among the peo-
pie, especially in relation to the dan
gers, bodily, mental and moral, from
indulgence in intoxicants-a point on
which the Blade has insisted for years
as the line of effort which will certain
ly produce the greatest results with the
least opposition. He does not suggest
any specific legislative action, except
that he contends the government has
the same right to control the sale of
alcohol that it has to control the sale
of chloral, opium, and other poisonous
drugs. He does not discuss the ques-
tion of legal prohibition, apparently
feeling that in England the time has
not yet come when it can be made ef-.
fective. And it is true that nowhere
can it be made effectual until the peo-,,
pie are educated on this topic up to the
point that there is an intelligent ma,
jority in favor of the movement to
pulverize the rum power.-Toledo
Blade.

THE POISONOUS CUP.

The tempting wine cup,
Touch, oh! touch II not,
Though in its DRAWINGS
Cares may be forgot.
Upon its sparkling brink
Death-poisons lie;
But drink you must?
Then drink and surely die.
1t foams and seethes
Upon the goblet's brink;
Strong youth, fair maiden,
Stop one momentl think
Before you drain
The foaming contents up.
All pause and lookl
There's venom in the cup.
You may not see,
But OIL it's lurking there;
All blushing, bids you taste.
The young and fair
Are victims first 'twould lure,
Then turn aside.
Oh, touch notl taste not;
From this goblet wide!
You may not hear, but demons dark
Hang on the goblet's brink,
Howling and hideous;
Nor do they shrink aghast
II first their victims do not bend;
But wait and watch
They know the bitter END.
As the restless moth
Around the candle bright,
1t fingers still and fiutters near,
-
Seizes its prey
Too plain is seen its sad, sad lot
Thus with the flowing bowl,
Oh, touch 1t, taste 1t noti
Wine, you say, was given
At "Cana's" marriage feasti
But pure and sparkling
From the Hand Divine
Not drugged with poisonous, noxious,
death,
But simply crystal water
Turned to wine!
Could all have power
To form this drink,
Pure and bright 'twould be;
Then youth need not to pause and,
think,
But Quaff it full and free.
Twill give more zest
In the light and whirling dancei
For one short hour
The draught of poison
VIII the time enchance.
But oh! so passing.
Fitting is the charm;
And often leads
To SO much guilt and harm.
Sorrow. you say. twill stiflef
And make life's burdens
Light to bear?
Flush the fair maiden's check,
And brighten up the unlustered eyer
But do not quaff and die
Oh, startling thought-beware.
IT'S true cares may be lulled
For just little while;
And hours that hung so heavily.
1t may beguile.
But touch it not,
For sin is hidden there;
Twill only lure to darkness
And despair.
Millions have quaffed this cup.
And millions more
Will drink and fall
viii writhe beneath this bitter
stream
OF wormwood and OF gail.
But those who have
The surface only touched,
II friends and home
You'd ever free from stain,
Shatter the bowl! the tempting how'll
Nor drink the seething draught e
again.

cut down their cotton crop this year.
This advice to farmers living along
the north ern edge of the cotton belt,
is good advice, and should be needed
In fact it would be better for them and
better for the cotton farmers who live 10
the heart Of the cotton belt, for them to
plant none at all. But with the farm
ers Of Central and southern Texas it is
the money crop, aud will pay better
than any other crop, even at prices
which will force farmers on the belt
indicated to quit planting it. Plant
cotton, cultivate and gather it with
your own force, live economically and
the cotton farmer of Texas will make
money. Let the fellow who lives
