Motto "God and Home and Native Land -
PLEDGE KEEPING.

II, the Lord thy God, will hold thy
right hand, saying unto thee, Fear
not, will keep thee. lisa. 41:13.
On Saturday evening I was to lead
a Gospel temperance meeting. The
hall was upstairs and the windows
were open. The music came floating
down to us on the street, and hush
seemed to have come upon every thing
around us, las the words, "Home, home,
sweet, sweet home," rang out clear
and distinct. Standing under the win
dow, his face upturned, was man
with the unmistakable signs OF a
drunkard upon clothes, face and
form.
watched him, and as the melody
ceased, his face went down into his
hands and he groaned aloud. put
my hand upon his arm and asked,
"What is it, my friend?"
He answered, "'Tis them words,
ma'am, them words, Home, sweet
home.' had home once, but I lost
it and everything else, through drink. y
invited him to go up to the meet
ing. He thanked me and said his
clothes were not fit; but finally con-
quered, by urging that it was a long
flight of stairs and he could help me
up. During the hour, my thoughts
went to him and my words were for
him. At the close I read over the
pledge and asked him to sign it.
ooh, lady, l wish could, but it's no
use; I'd break it right off and I should
not like to break your pledge"
"Listen," replied, ''here are some
God, will hold thy right hand, saying
unto thee, Fear not, I will help thee.'"
"Where did you get that lady would
you mind reading it again?" I opened
my Bible to Isaiah Alb. He read
and re-read the verse, then said anx-
iously, "You see how my hand trem
bles, lady, do you s'pose could write
my name if God held my hand?''
"Oh! yes, I am sure you could"
'sDo you s'pose I'd ever take anoth-
er glass of liquor if God held my
hand!O
sNever, unless you took your hand
out of the Lords. He never lets go
of any one.''
A new hope came into his eyes and
a manliness to his face, as, straight
ening himself up, and holding out his
right hand, he exclaimed, ''I've tried
a good many times alone, now here
goes for God and me, and we will see
what we can do.''
His name went down upon the
pledge, and we knelt, asking Gods
help and strength. That was years
ago, and he has kept his pledge.

1t is the little foxes that destroy the
vines in home life. There are some
men who would lay down their lives
for their wives and children, but who
would almost have fits of apoplexy
over a button off shirt or a mislaid
paper. There are women who would
die at the stake for their husbands,
but who have an almost unconscious
habit of nagging the poor man from
morning until night. Strange, isn't it?

TO BE At DALLAS.
FITZIMMOES AND CORBETT WILL
FIGHT AT DALLAS,
The Statute Does not Prohibit Glove
Contest---A Purse of $4,000 is
the Plumb for the Winner.

Dan A. Stuart, sporting man
of Dallas Texas, has been in New
York a week or more arranging
with Corbett and Fitzimmons to
have their coming fight pull off at
Dallas. He has at last triumphed
and the papers are being signed for
the mill at Dallas, The New York
manager questioned Mr.. Stuart
closely about the law in Texas in
regard to prize fighting and he
gave them to understand he did not
travel all the way to New York on
an uncertainty, If you agree to
come to Dallas, the fight will come
off without molestation. In fact
Mr.. Stuart said:
There is no doubt about bring
Ing off the fight. There is no Tex
as statue that will be violated, and
| can assure you that the gentle
men who are anxious to have the
fight take place there would not
have anything to do with it if there
was anything illegal about the
transaction. The fight if possible
will take place in the day time. We
have made provisional arrange
ments with the railroad companies
and our friends from the North and
West will have low rates"
The fight will beyond a doubt
take place at Dallas and the only
trouble that will be experienced is
to get building large enough to
hold the crowd that will attend
LATER.
