PER1Ls OF SUCCESS.
In the forenoon

There is wrong theory abroad that if
ones youth be right, his old age will be
right. You might as well say there is
nothing wanting for ships safety ex-
cept to get it fully launched on the At
lantic ocean. I have sometimes asked
those who were schoolmates or college
mates Of some great defrauder: What
kind of boy was he? What kind of a
young man was he?' and they have said:
"Why, he was a splendid fellow. I had
no idea he could ever go into such an
outrage" The fact is the great tempta-
tio1 of life sometimes comes far on in
midlife or in old age.
The first time I crossed the Atlantic
ocean it was as smooth as millpond,
and / thought the sea captains and the
yoyaSers had slandered the old ocean,
and | wrote home an essay for maya
zine on 1.-The Smile of the Sea-" but
never afterward could have written that
thing. for before we got home we got a
terrible shaking up. The first voyage Of
life may be very smooth; the last may be
euroclydon. Many who start life in
great prosperity do not end it in prosper
ity.
The great pressure of temptation comes
sometimes in this direction: AT about
As years of age mans nervous system
changes, and some one tells him he must

man has been going along for 80 or 40
years in unsuccessful business, and here
is an opening where by one dishonorable
action he can lift himself and lift his
family from all financial embarrassment.
He attempts to leap the chasm, and he
falls into it.

1t is very common error to suppose
that the temperance cause has relation
only to those who have been made
wretched by drink, and that temper
ance workers are of little account un-
less they have been drunkards. The
fact is that the influence of young
man who in cool blood chooses the
right. on the bare-hand sense of it, is
manifold greater on boys and men OF
his own age than is that of man who
having gone through the saloon and
"got the worst of it," comes out against
drink. 1t is IA splendid thing to be saved
from drunkenness but infinitely more
splendid to have been clean always.
The men who lead in all professions,
who weather the panics and fires and
floods in mercantile pursuits, who
sway the world by voice and pen, are,
as a rule, those who have been clean
from boyhood, and if redeemed
drunkard sometimes makes his mark
in the world, it is mark much lower
than he could have made under condi-
tions of abstinence from the beginning.
Sometimes rescued drunkard prizes
opportunity more and works harder
than he would have done otherwise,
but in the whole range of Stiffness the
climacteric imbecile is the young man
who thinks it ''smart" to drink. So,
then, / should say young man can do
everything for the temperance cause.
On the political side the temperance
cause is a young mans affair; old men
will not change easily; their eyes are
to the rear. If the question of Prohi-
bition were now presented to the Chris
tan men of America as new thing
unentangled with party loyalty, preju-
dice and habit, every man of them
would be an ultra Prohibitionist. AS
Democrats and Republicans they have
drifted into license and other dilatory
policies askance from the view of real
merit, and now they will drift on to

rates to the Convention i'll Canton,

Mrs. Howard, President of Durant I'm

mary grade of our school have just laid
down the Health Primer, and are now
much interested in Child's Book of Ma

Will not all Unions that have,
| through thoughtlessness, or otherwise
failed to report to the above name and
address. the officers of the Union for a
new State directory, do so promptly
One of the Presidents of a Western
Union writes, in response to an inqui-
ry concerning the state of the !. in that
place: ION the evening of a certain W.
! c.. T. L. woman's address here most OF
the members and some of the officers
of the Y. went to a ball where wine and
the dance were the allurements." 1t IS
unnecessary to add that this union IS
ready for grave stone which might
appropriately bear the inscription.
And some fell on stony ground. where
it had not much earth; and Immediate
ly it sprang up. because it had no depth
of earth; but when the sun was up it
was scorched; and because it had no
root it wthered away" Does not this
hold for us lesson, viz: The lmpor-
lance of choosing our officers with ref
erence to stability of character? When
the reverse is true the cause is brought
into disrepute.

parative inactivity during the winter,
but "hopes to get to work in earnest

poets to attend the Convention.
The admirable President of Brook
haven reports her union asleep; we
sympathize with it in the loss of such
women as Mrs. Woodward and Mrs.
Gambrell, it would strain any union to
suffer so severe wrench.
The energetic President of lndianola,
Mrs Carothers, reports the union in
good condition, with a steady increase
of members. She, with several others,
will be disappointed not to represent
the union at Convention.
Mrs. Hebron, of the Edwards Union,
has removed to jackson. Can she or
any one else tell anything of union
at the latter place?
Mrs. Somerville, of Greenville, has
this to say of her union: ''Our union is
doing better than ever before. We
have sent $1,000 pledge to Mrs Carse,
to be paid during the year, have most
of our State dues paid and our meet
ings are good" She also thinks the
great need of our work is district pres
