FULL OF FAITH.

Faith-that faith which has the closest
possible connection with religion. which
lies nearest its roots and embodies the most
Of its spirits best defined as the sense OF
the unseen. THERE'S In it, as thus explained,
no opposition to reason. For what reason
is to do things demonstrable, faith is to
things invisible. There is no antagonism
between it and silence. For while We
rightly look to science for the phenomena
of the universe, we look, as iustifably, to
faith for the facts Of the soul. There is no
confusion between it and theology. The
latter is science created by reason. The
former is an experience, one might almost
say On instinct, guided by God. Some use
this faculty more refuse to use 1t. 1t grows
by exercise. And one may have it so COM
pletely developed as to detect and recognize
God in all His multifarious manifestations,
80 as indeed to find the whole earth filled
with His glory. Such one is himself filled
with the Divine. To be full OF faith is to be
full OF the Holy Ghost

TEMPERANCE.
THE DRUNKARD's WIFE.

THE DRUNKARDS 8 WIFE.
Weary and sad am sitting alone
With q dying babe and cold heart-stone;
And list to the sound OF the drifting snow:
Oh, how unlike to long ago!
Those golden dreams have passed away
That filled my heart on its marriage day,
And the trembling tear-drop's silent flow
Are the tribute-pearls OF long ago.
Oh! the hidden power of the sparkling wine
Can Danish love from its holiest shrine
And place in its stead wreath Of woe
In the faded hopes Of long ago.
The crowning Joy Of woman's life
Is breathed In the blissful name of wife,
And the deepest pang that her heart can
know
Is the blighted love of long ago.

TEMPERANCE IN PRACTICE.

The New York Observer has been making
some comparisons and drawing some con-
clusions on the economical effects OF temper
ance in community.
"In the town OF Quincy, Mass, during the
last year Of its license system (1881) the say.
ings banks deposits amounted to $l73, 800.
Ever since then Quincy has enjoyed the dis
tinction Of being saloonless town, with
result, in 1895, OF 6435 separate deposits IN
savings banks, agsregating SAL, ,152. The
valuation Of property in 1881 was 81, $50, ,3Sl,
and in 1895, $17 1926, 1855, q gain OF 12S per
cent. Yet the sum spent for poor purposes
during 1895 was only Ss33S, as against S15,-
Ais spent in the last year Of license.
SIN other words, while the population In
creased 81 per cent. the poor account de-
creased 40 per cent. In 1881 only "a houses
were built, but In 1895, 157. Contrasting the
condition OF things IN Quincy with that in
Newburyport, place only two-thirds its
size, it appears that while the latter town
spent over 1922. 900 on its poor this last year,
with 759 arrests for drunkenness, Quincy
spent the sarS .aar only $633S on its
Eess." y.
Not to 90 in 3yany other phase OF the
temperance question, 1t Is verv plain to any
observer that drunkenness Is an immense
tax on the commonwealth. The general
public must pay for additional police pro-
lection. courts, jails and hangmen, In order
that drunkards may havs the fright" to
drink all the liquor they want. 1t Is costly
liberty. and the community pays for It In
the end, you may BIZ sure.-The pathfinder.

Is ALCOHOL A PoIsoNf

This question, as we learn from LIE Bien
Sociae of Belgium, Is thus answered by DR..
Luborde, of the Paris Faculty OF Medicines:
"Yes, alcohol Is poison, because 1t pro-
duces those arrangements or serious acci-
dents. even mortal. which strike at once the
body and the mind. 1t prevents the man
walking straight and causes him to stagger
and fall; 1t makes him tremble and gives him
convulsive shocks; 1t makes him foolish and
criminal. driving him on to murder his
mates and even his nearest relations; 1t re-
duces him to the state of an imbecile, an
idiot, and brute-that is to say, to the
level, and even below that, OF an animal.
And, beyond that, 1t condemns him to be
the parent of unhealthy children-deformed,
epileptic, imbecile, or idiot-dispo2ed to
murder their fellows and become criminal V
Such Is short picture Of ofalcoholic poison
ing or alcoholism.
