The Rum-seIler's SATURDAY. Night

The Rum-Seller's Saturday Night.
The rum seller stood by the side of his desk,
With satisfied grin on his check;
He had sold out his poison with little to risk,
And had counted his cash for the week.
A cold smile of triumph played over his face,
His eye shone with fendish delight,
As be thought how the money flowed into his
place.
No matter, twas Saturday night
He cared not for those in the officers grasp
Or in the cold prison that night;
His bag of bright dollars he tightly would clasp
And whistle an air of delight.
What cared he for misery, destruction shame
He had brought to the homes Of the poor;
Or the poor starving children, who suppliant
came
To beg a cold crust at his door
He could go home and rest and heed not the tears
That poor suffering woman had shed,
The wants or the woes the griefs or the fcar-
OF the little ones CRYING for bread.
What care he for furniture smashed in a spree
Or the blood that was spilled in a row
He can jingle his money and laugh in hi glec
At the poor drunkaris family now.
He can dust n his bottles and fix up his den
And care not what others may think,
lie can hire once decent, respectable men
To wash out his spittoons for drink
He can smile at hi work and at misery son,
He + making new drunkards the while
He can witness the old ones in horrors die Oh
And meet the young brood with smile
He can drive troting horses and dress in n,
style,
And vie with the merchant in trade,
HIS wife can look down with digniHed smic
At the poor ragged dupes he has made.
He can put in hay windows and live like a lord
And laugh at the drunkAri's distress,
Whose wifr or whose little cannot AFFORD
To buy new calico dress;
Whose business i ruined whose prospects ar,
wrecked,
Ili- hope and ambition are gone.
He has lost all his friends and HE own sci
respect
And 10 suicide hurrie= him on.
Al, rum seller murderer laugh as you may
At the misery. destruction and blight.
I you there il coming 3 reckoning day
And a horrible saturday night;

Platonic Love not in Natures Books.
love between women and men was not
invented for She entertainment of philos-
ophers, but largely for domestic purposes;
and IL plstonic love is to have anything
better than a hazardous and unstable
existence. the conditions Of 1t must be
such that it may prosper without conflict
with Natures more important ends.
Thus we see why platonic friendships
between Young people who might marry
do not endure. Such couples get married,
and their friendship merges into a more
durable sentiment, or else one of them
marries someone else, and then it lapses,
At lesst 1t should lapse, for If IL does
not, it not only initiates against peace in
a family. but 1t tends to keep the uu-
married platOnist from going shout Ills

What a Young Girl Accomplished.

The Iowa Endeavor gives an inter
esting account of the formation of a
Christian Endeavor society in Franklin
township, Green county, Ia, in rural
district where there is no church. 1t
originated in the unsupported efforts of
one young girl, who got together a So
ciety OF members, which has now in
creased to 81. Nine of their associate
members have accepted Christ, and be-
come active. They meet from house to
house, having an average attendance of
about 40
