A Crisis Pissed.
FROM the State Sontlnc,.

The Republican party of Delaware
successfully passed another crisis in
its history during the past week. The
division between the wholo-hearted
Republicans, and tho half-hcarted
Republicans, is now completes; and
all the main dcfrnccs of its enemies
are now unmaskcd and their strength
known. This is great gain. Intelli-
gent, loyal party men can now deter
mlnn where their votes will do the
most good in affecting tho applica
ton OF Republican principles to State
and National Government. The people
who honestly want Republican success
are now behind and in support of the
ticket nominated ut Dover on July H.
and all those who want the party defeat
cd In this State either honestly as De-
mocrats, or hypocritically masking as
Republicans. are behind the ticket named
at Georgetown on Thursday. Tho first
can WIN, the other won't and can't.
Under which banner do you march?

THE "DRUNKARD's CLOAK"

1runkards carry what is called the
"Drunkard's Cloak" This was large
barrel with one head out and o hole in
the other through which the offender
was made to put his head, while his
hands were drawn through two small
holes, one on each side. With this he
was compelled to march along the pub
lie street.
1t is wise to beware of the first glass,
Avoid that and you are safe.
Some one tells a pathetic tale of the
first step to drunkenness, viz: Tell
me-" said gentleman to poor drunk
ard, when urging him to give up the
Intoxicating cup, where it was you
took your first steps in this Incorporate
course?" ''At my fathers table," re-
piled the unhappy young man. Before
I left home to become n clerk haG
learned to love the drink that has
ruined me. The first drop 1 ever tasted
was handed me by my now heart
broken mother"
There is an old stereotyped excuse for
drinking that we have become dis
Eusted with, viz: Didn't God make
grapes?
Some one relates an amusing incident
concerning this argument:
''Harorotune, a converted Armenian
on the Harpoot mission field, is strong
temperance man. He lives among those
who love native wine To one who
drank glass of wine and by way of
excuse asked: Didn't God make
grapes?' he Indignantly exclaimed:
God made dogs. Go eat some dog car
cass! He made poisons, too. Go eat
them and kill yourself!'"
With many a drunkard the first glass
of liquor begins his farewell to all that
is pure and lovely and of good repute
1t is the beginning of the end"
st. Ambrose tells this sorrowful tale
of Theotymus:
son being told by his physicians that
except he diAabstain from drink and
excess he was likely to lose his eyes,
his heart was so desperately set upon
his sin that he said: Vale lumere ami
cum'-'Farewell, sweet light, then;
must have my pleasure i'll that sin; l
must drink, though drink out my eyes.
Then, farewell eyes, and farewell light
and all"
Thick as pillows of the seas
Are the graves of debauchees.
Shall we warning take of these,
Since they form of death the line?
See the faces white with care,
See the pictures of despair,
See the shadows in the air,
Coming from the cup of wine!
"And the beads which bubbling rise
Are the serpents glittering eyes,
And its fangs are in the wine"
Ernest Gilmore, in National Temper
ance Advocate.
