ToPIo.-The evils Of intemperance.-P
xiii, ~. q, 1886.
Intemperance is one Of the greatest
curses of humanity. Its evils are in
Vulnerable and understandable. It de-
stroys men bodily. mentally, morally
and spiritually. 1t debauches man alb
solutely and completely. It has been
doing SO for centuries, and yet it still
finds those who are willing to be de-
bauched. 1t is one Of the greatest mys-
teries of modern civilization that in
temperance has not been stamped out of
existence either by legislation or by the
voluntary actions of men in giving up
that which has only proved a curse and
ruination to man the world over But
progress is being made in the cause of
temperance. More and more the drink
traffic is being outlawed. More and
more men who persist in surrendering
themselves to strong drink are being
considered untitled for responsible
duties in life. The time was when pub
lilo men could openly display their
drunkenness with impunity, but that
time has happily passed forever. It's
dangerous as we'll as disgraceful thing
today for public man to have the
charge Of drunkenness proved against
him. In these things at least the public
conscience is being aroused, and the
cause of temperance is advancing The
Christian Endeavor society should use
all its influence to destroy this evil in
our land.
Solomon in the verses quoted points
out some Of the evils of intemperanoe.
!. Intemperance brings poverty. "Be
not among wine bibbers, among riotous
eaters of flesh, for the drunkard and the
glutton shall come to poverty" oversees 30,
2D. How many have learned by an aw-
full experience that this is true? Drink
brings thousands to poverty. 1t impov-
erishes body, mind and soul 1t robs
homes of furniture and the comforts of
life; it robs faithful wives of the love
and care of husbands; it robs children
of their clothing and Of daily bread. 1t
numbers in its poverty stricken hosts
more than were ever impoverished by
war, famine or pestilence. How can
man take that into himself which robs
him of reason, of wealth, of home, of
love, of honor, of position, of friends,
of God? Poor indeed is he who has lost
all these
Q. Intemperance brings countless
evils, woe, babbling, wounds without
cause, redness of eyes. Into what count
less woes and babblings one deprived of
reason by drink comes How many
wounds he receives that would not have
been caused but for drink!
3. Intemperance leads to nearly all
other sins and crimes oversees 29-35).
Were it not for drunkenness our prison
doors might almost be closed.
A. Intemperance alienates from God
and separates from heaven gal. V, 2D.

An Osslfled Neck.

James Porter, a colored patient at
the City hospital in st. Louis, is suffer-
ing from a very rare ailment. 1t is
known to the surgical world as anchy-
losis OF the vertebra, or, in other
words, he has an ossified neck. The
trouble first came on him about three
years ago and has been gradually grow
ing worse, until 1t has rendered him al.
most helpless. The joints of his verte-
br@ from the small of his back to the
base of his skull have grown together
until they form one solid mass, as rigid
and firm as iron. He cannot move his
head in the least, and when he wishes
to look about is compelled to move his
entire body Louis Republic.

THINKING ALOUD.
A Ruso Which Reused Lord Dudley and
Formed q Friendship.

| A Ruse Which Reused Lord Dudley and
Formed . Friendship.
One of the earls of Dudley, who was
addicted to the practice Of thinking
aloud, found himself in very awkward
predicament ON q certain occasion, If a
story told Of him may be credited. He
was to spend the evening at the house
of friend and ordered his carriage
early, as he had a long drive back to his
own home.
When the hour arrived, the carriage
was not forthcoming. Seeing that Lord
Dudley was considerably annoyed by
the delay, one of the guests, whose way
homeward lay past his lordship's house,
politely offered him a seat in his car
riage. The gentleman was almost q
stranger to Lord Dudley, but the offer
was accepted.
The drive did not prove very So
oiable one. Lord Dudley took his seat
and Immediately relapsed into silence,
his thoughts apparently engrossed by
some unpleasant subject. Presently he
began to speak in low, but distinctly
audible tone of voice, and his compan-
ion, to his establishment, heard him say {:
"I'm very sorry accepted his offer.
don't know the man. 1t was civil GER
tainly, but the worst is / suppose I
must ask him to dinner"
Silence followed this bit of audible
thinking. His lordship was unaware
that he had betrayed his thoughts and
was probably still meditating upon the
same unpleasant subject when the voice
of his companion broke the stiffness.
Apparently this stranger was afflicted
with the same malady from which his
lordship suffered, for he exactly initial
ed Lord Dudley's tone as he said:
perhaps he'll think did it to make
his acquaintance. Why, l would have
done the same to any farmer on his
estate. l hope he won't ask me to din
ner, for shan t accept his invitation.
Lord Dudley's abstraction was all
gone. He listened to the others words,
Immediately comprehending the joke
against himself, and frankly offered his
hand to his companion, making many
apologies for his involuntary rudeness.
The stranger proved magnanimous,
and from that night the two became
fast friends. Youth Companion.

THE BEAUTIFUL.
wrinhied and old are those hands Of


hers,
bard and full of the seams
OF labor and the years.
Knotted the knuckles
And creased and crinlled
The skin on the backs Of them.
Dark veined and large,
With splotches Of brown
Between the drawn tendons, IS
As il scared by tears, "
Thick the nails and blunted. -.
Rough and with little ridges
Running the length Of them,
Gallons the palms
And lacking all pinkness and prettincss.
Old are those hands Of hers,
Wrinlxled and hard.

Infinite tenderness
And love
Could they tell.
Those hands Of woman
Whose threescore years and ten
Have been passed In doing the good
That women do!

GOING ON THE STAGE.
Nowadays Girls Become Actresses
From Different Causes.

Once on time, when the world
was different, there were but three
causes that drew a woman into the
theater to become a play actress.
Either it had an irresistible fascina-
ton for her, and vanity sent her
there; or she had a real calling for
the work, and that was art; or she
was heir to such life, either by
birth or association and that was in
heritance. Today it is beginning TO
be understood by many who are near
enough to study the whole problem
that there is another and a more Vi
tai cause, absolute necessity, and that
arises from the movement known as
the advancement of women.
There was a time, not long ago
either, says writer in in the Boston
Herald, when if girl wanted my
advice about the stage as a profess
sion | always said don't" 1t was
on principle. 1t is a hard life. 1t
leads to nothing. The length of happy
prosperity that the fortunate and
successful enjoy is rarely more than
ten years. 1t leads to habit of life
that makes women forever unhappy
after it is passed 1t is life of
temperamental temptation. More
over, if a girl can be advised out of
it, she never should have entered it,
and if she is meant for the life and
determined to try it, why, no amount
of advising will deter her. Today l
am like a gerat many other people
| think 1t not worth while to advise
at all. One must respect the am
bition of these girls TO be self-sup-
porting But they must work out
their own salvation.
OF course, one of the surest ways
to get an engagement is by a personal
acquaintance with a manager or a
star, And it must be owned that the
latter are very lenient and patient,
and almost never refuse to see a
young aspirant and advise her. Some
of the best starts ever made by young
actresses have been made by per-
sonal application, quite unaided, di-
rectly to a star. Actors are much
more approachable than agents when
it comes to that, and much more
helpful. In any case, however, one
must, in nine times out of ten, with
out any influence but her personality
and her face, keep herself in the
over burdened mind of a manager
without offending or boring him, who
has persistency and courage without
effrontery or cheek can crowd a lit
tie cheerfully without being agrees
sive, has the best chance.
To do that one has to have in
finite tact, and infinite courage and
patience, good nature and grace. And
one who has all that is pretty sure
to make a good actress, and mana
gers come to recognize that in time.
But, of course, the many fail where
one succeeds, and, like all things else
in the world, sometimes it is the
most gifted person that gets left
Now that all this will or should
deter any one from trying. We all
know that there is always plenty of
room at the top, and it is the rule OF
life that all people of right feeling
should aspire to get there. Probably
that is what life is given us for. AS
1t is difficult to find any other reason
that is good and healthy belief to
hold.
