A TEMPERANCE COLUMN.
THE DRINK EVIL MADE MANIFEST
IN MANY WAYS.

The Conqueror-Astoundin1 Comparison
of Expenditures For Liquor and For
Government-Every Mans Wife as His
Barkeeper-Buying Sot's Grave.
The barkeeper's wife has a sealskin coat,
But mine has an old plaid shawl;
She has Jewels for finger and ear and
throat,
But mine has none at all.
Her only ring stole one night
And pawned for a poisoned drink!
Oh, mother of mine! Bring back the light
or youth and the strength to think!
The barkeeper's child has books and toys,
NY children have want and woe;
They never have dwelt In the world OF Joys
The barkeeper's child may know.
At tiny doll my baby's eye :,
Would dance and her heart would swell,
But I've always taken the price to buy
A cup of the liquid hell.
Oh the girl wooed in the good, glad
years,
Whose pure lips touched with mine,
swear to Danish her bitter tears
In the strength OF love divine!
AM hearts so broken and sad, day,
With new-found bliss shall thrill,
For the devil OF rum I'll cast away,
God helping mo, / will!

The Drunkard As a Citizen.

II we look upon a man rs an individual
OF the great family Of human beings, his
sin of intemperance becomes greater
curse still AS member Of society, each
one has got his place, works to perform,
obligations to comply with, towards the
state In which he lives. Under constitu-
tional government we enjoy liberty. The
drunkard abuses this liberty. His intem-
perance makes him incapable of obeying or
approaching the law, because drunkenness
destroys his reason and annihilates his
judgment. 1t is the duty Of each individual
to assist, as far as in his power lies, the
government under which he lives, In max
ing and obeying the laws Of the land, to
support its institutions and to fulfil his
duties to his fellow man. Does the drunk
ard do it? He continually offends against
the laws; he is not only unable to pay his
portion Of taxation, but, owing to his vices,
prisons, hospitals, police. judges, poor
houses, asylums, madhouses, have to be
maintained at enormous expense, and so to
the damage of his fellow citizens; the
drunkard then acts unfairly and unjustly
to his fellow creatures.

Temperance sentiment has for its basis
an appalling fact.

glad that the contract had been placed
and placed so advantageously to the

that the Department was fully advised
az to the location of the Spanish ships be-
fore the contract was made.
Probably before the end of the week
the Spanish company will begin the dis
charge of its obligation and have shipped
at Santiago at least 1000 of the Span
ish soldiers on the long journey to Spain

about fifteen days. Word came to the

ern district of North Carolina for serv-

which he acted was never questioned by
the first Comptroller. the first Auditor or
by the Auditor for the State and other
departments. but under the recent ruling
of the Comptroller in the Fortune case the
Auditor for the State and other depart
ments decides that Green is not entitled
to compensation. Mr.. Green will now
have to do as Mr.. Fortune did, go to Con
greSs for his pay for services rendered
