have in my possession a most pa
thetlc letter written by gentleman
OF good education-in an almshouse.
He wrote to me: "All the misery OF
my wretched life was caused by the

at hotel in Columbus, O.; and drank

descend into Lake Erie; those which
| trickle down on the other side pass
into the Ohio, the Mississippi and the

him low.
| Social drinking customs are on the
increase in our country. The decanter
is stealing back again on to the dinner
tables of people from whom we should
expect better things. Intoxicants are
more frequently offered at weddings
and in social gatherings. Club life is
becoming more popular, and there are
very few clubs that are under restric-
tions Of total abstinence. Betting
and bottles are the two concomitants
of the football matches and rowing
matches which attract thousands of
our college students. We need ire
mendous arousing Of consciences all
over this land to the growing havoc of
the drink usages; the saloon keepers
are not the only sinners; the parents
who offer temptations to their own
children and to their guests may be as
guilty as they before God. Woe unto

that putteth the bottle to him and
maketh him drunken" Let that thun-

each other, smoking and waiting foa
''the fun to begin"
Presently there was a sound of
horses feet at the door, half min
ute of silence, then two big burly fell
lows in Mexican sombreros, whom
afterwards learned were the ashers,
elbowed their way in by main force,
cleared passage from the door to the
altar, behind which the dapper young
preacher, who had entered from the
rear, took his place. The groom could
be seen peeping in at the back door
anXiously.
Every head was turned toward the
front door as the tramp of the bridal
party was heard entering. First came
the ushers, who had returned to the
door after clearing the aisle. The spurs
ratified on the rough floor as the stall
wart fellows stalked in stately manner
through the room, and after they were
past my station noticed the big bump
under the coat of each, made by the
indispensable six-shooter. Then came
the groom's attendants, big fine-looking
fellows with long hair and fierce NOUS
taches, waxed for the occasion. But
one of these wore his spurs. The other
was without them, but made up the
difference with ''laundered" shirt
and standing collar. Both carried
guns" of regulation size.
The bridesmaids followed, each
chewing her gum vigorously and look
ing her sweetest, one in pink and
the other in white, with bouquets of
wild flowers in their hands. The bride
followed alone, looking really superb
her complexion fair, her hair thick,
long and brown, dark, fiery eyes and
small, firm mouth. She walked with
the stately confidence of western
woman, born and raised in an atmos-
phere of independence, where everyone
looks out for himself or herself, as the
case may be.
The groom meanwhile entered and
met the bride at the altar, where he
saluted her with kiss, vigorously ap-
piled to her lips.
Colorado Charlie" was not so large
man as either of his attendants, but
was muscular and firm knit fellow,
with cool gray eye, cold, thin lips,
and jet black short hair. He was not
a demonstrating man, but certainly
impressed the beholder as lion in dis
guise for courage and resolution.
There was withal something about
him to compel admiration.
The minister, who was shaking from
head to foot, commanded the contract
ing parties to join hands, which they
did.
Turning to the audience he said:
IF there be any present who would
forbid that this man and woman be
Joined in holy matrimony. let him now
speak, or forever after hold his peace.
The groom and attendants pulled
their six-shooters.
The minister almost tainted The
bride looked at him curiously for mo-
ment, then burst into hearty laugh.

Pldgin English.

The phrase ''pidgin English" means
business English" the word ''pidgin"
being the Chinaman's pronunciation of
business" 1t is the jargon by means
of which nine-tenths Of the business
between Chinese and foreigners is
transacted. Here is an example of it,
taken from Chester Holcombe's recent
work on China: A young man who
called upon two young ladies was
gravely informed by the Chinese serv-
ant who opened the door that two
piecey girls no can see. Number one
piecey top side makee washee, washee.
Number two piecey go outside, makee
walkee, walkee." BY which he meant
to say that the elder of the two was
taking a bath upstairs, and the young
err one had gone out.-Youth's Com

enness and of Individual Responsibility
IN Dealing with 1t.
Let US all carry with us, deeply
stamped upon our hearts and minds, a
sense of shame for the great plague of
drunkenness which goes through the
land, sapping and undermining char
acter, breaking up the peace of fami-
lies, oftentimes choosing for its VIC
Tins, not the men and the women
originally the worse, but persons of
strong social susceptibility and open
in special respects to temptation. This
great plague and curse, gentlemen. let
us remember, is a national curse, ca
lamity and scandal. \ | wish
we could all of us take it into our
minds for surely there is hardly one
amongst us who has not seen in in
dividual cases the pestilent result to
which this habit unfortunately leads
that we should all carry with us in
dividually deep and adequate sense
of the mischief, and an earnest inten-
ton to do what within US lies, each
man within his sphere, for the purpose
OF mitigating and removing it.-From
an Address, in Liverpool.

Moore was close student of orien-
tai books of travel. He was thus en-
abled to initiate so closely the style of
eastern thought and to so adapt himself
to the peculiarities of eastern imagery
that his oriental tales read as though
written by Persian or Hindoo. Even
during his own lifetime lines of "Lallah
Rookh" were sung by the common
people in the cities of Persia and India

Old Rags and whisky.

An item is going the rounds OF the
press to the effect that whisky is now
manufactured out OF old rags. We see
nothing remarkable about this. Every
one knows that nearly all the old rags
now in this country are manufactured
out of whisky, and there is no apparent
reason why the process of conversion
may not work as we'll one way as an
other; from whisky to rags, ana from
rags to whisky. What a beautiful

the same direction.
Presently we passed the little adobe
= church, which was brilliantly lighted,
and, as l could see through the small
windows, profusely, if not artistically,
decorated with evergreens and clean
white cloth inside.
What's up?" ventured to ask the
driver, who had not spoken word for
the last twenty-seven miles.
'Weddin'," he replied laconically,
and gave the horses vicious cut with
the whip which started them into a
trot.

we drew up at the door of the hotel"
