Edward W. Box. editor OF the Ladies'
Home journal, in reply TO a young man who
wrote him, asking, as not a young man
placed at a disadvantage when he refuses
wine at dinners?" says. 81 can only speak
from experience. l have attended a great
many public dinners, aud am still u pretty
constant attendant at such affairs. l have
never touched II drop of wine upon these
occasions, and yet 1 have never been maze
to feel that l was placed at o. disadvantage.
Indeed, / am under the impression that a
young man who refuses wine is always at o
distinct advantage. A strong adherence to
any good principle is always a recommended
ton Of u young mans character in the eyes
of his elders"
To another. who asked If total abstinence
from liquors is not Il barrier TO social suc-
cess, he replies Il can honestly say that q
young mans best and highest social success
is assured Just in proportion as he abstains
from wine An indulgence in intoxicants OF
any sort has never helped a man to any So
ciai position worth having; on the con-
trary, 1t has kept many from attaining u
position to which. by birth and good breed
ing, they are entitled. No young man viii
ever find that the principle of abstinence
from liquor il a barrier TO any success, So
elal. commercial or otherwise. On the
other hand. it is the one principle in his life
which viii. in tho long run, help him more
than any other,

4 SAD PICTURE.
The night is dark, no starlight breaks the
gloom,
The shadows tilicken in the silent room,
A waiting dame In sadness sits alone.
As midnight winds sweep BY with dismal
moan.
Why waits SHY there, With tear-dlmmed
eyes. 50 still.
With hear presagins deep and bitter Ill?
Alas! her son Is absent from his home;
Thro' scenes Of riot does he wildly roam.
But now his footsteps wavering are heard,
And anguish deep Within her breast Is
stirred:
He staggers wildly up the creaking stair,
And helpless falls beside his mothers chair.
For this she nursed him back from deaths
grim brink,
To be a beast debased by vice aud drink;
Ali, happy would she be II he were laid,
His sins forgiven, In the c%hurchyard shaded
We pity patient mothers, sisters, wives,
Who watch and wait through care depress-
ing lives,
Who suffer hard and unremitting pains
For loved ones he'd in alcoholic chains.
