TEMPERANCE WORK.

[ noticed an article in the issue
of the 18th ult. of The PRISON
MIRROR, entitled, "a Mental De-
lusion," having tendency to be-
little the good work of Temper
ance Reform. That the author
didn't himself believe what he
wrote, needs no argument to prove.
Any tyro knows that a ferment-
ed substance is poison. That is,
it will destroy living tissues. To
prove that alcohol will do this it
will only be necessary to hold a
spoonful Of whisky in the mouth
about five minutes, when the
mouth will feel as if it had been
scalded with boiling water.
A substance that will produce
such results is certainly unfit to
cast into so delicate an organ as
the stomach. Every effort to ex-
pei poisonous substance, is at
tended by loss of vital energy,
causing a loss of an additional
amount of energy "a loss wholly
unnecessary, and which would not
otherwise take place.
But, dear brother, if you want
woe, sorrow, contentious, wounds,
without cause, redness Of eyes,
(See Proverbs 23:29-35 also see
Habakkuk 2:15) and a wretched
physical, mental, and moral condi-
ton, just continue to partake of the
''abominable cup" but don't insult
intelligent readers by trying to
prove any strength in your argu-
ment. You only expose your
ignorance by SO doing; you only
put darkness for light and light
for darkness. (See Isaia 5O:11.)
Please ponder carefully, the an
Gent proverb, CAS- man thinketh
so is he." Ii he thinks it is right
to partake of such evil things, he
certainly is evil. The whole
article is nothing but the produc-
ton of a sin-polluted mind.

HALLOWEEN.

Say, boys, did your thoughts on
last Tuesday evening, as you lay
melancholy on your little cot,
wander back to your boyhood
days, and Halloween? When you
and your chums met at the rendez-
vous and lay out your plan for
action, and when you thought the
people were sound asleep and the
scout reported that the policeman
was upon another street, several
blocks away, and you would sally
forth, one of your number carry
ing a big screwdriver, another a
wrench etc., and then the first

gate you would come to you would
unscrew the hinges, turn the gate
upside down and then screw it
fast again? Then the next gate
you would unfasten and place it
so that when the owner tried to
open it, it would suddenly with a
sickening thud fall on his corns
and bark his shins while in it's
descend, or he and the gate would
see which could get in or out Of
the yard the quickest? and then
the next gate you wouldn't do a
thing to that-it is an iron one
and weighs about fifty pounds,
but then that makes no difference,
you shouldered it and carried it
several squares to wooded lane,
(although you told your mother,
who, that same afternoon wanted
you to carry in some wood, that
your arm and shoulder were very
lame) climb a tree and hang it on
one of the branches to keep COM
pany with several others which al
ready hang there. Then you
would overturn all the horseblocks
you came across, pull up hitching
posts and sidewalks, carry off
crossings, signs and everything
movable.
Then you would espy wagon
up on an alleyway and while some
were on the lookout for danger
the others would unscrew all the
nuts from the wheels, and the next
day you would watch to see the
owner drive off and see him sud-
denly founder in the dirt and see
four wheels going in different di-
rections, while the horse was try
ing to make kindling wood out of
the rest of the wagon, and little
later you would run across the
barber who is anxiously inquiring
for his barber pole. You could
tell him that if he would go down
to Mrs. millinery establish
ment he would find it securely
fastened to the sidewalk in front
of her place of business, but you
won't.
Do you remember those days,
boys? Weren't they jolly days?

When [ assayed to enter the

nothing came the reply. "You

that you don't know it's value, use
or abuse [ humbly bowed my
head under the "sea dogs TRADE,
and asked him to enlighten my
ignorance, on the subject Of water
and it's relation to vegetable life.
From the mess Of high balls
that Sinbad threw, 1 gathered that,
during the growth and develop
ment of an acre of rye, 1874 tons of
water was absolved; oats required
$40 tons and wheat 4o9 tons of
water to the acre. The water,
sucked or pumped up by the roots
from the soil, traverses the tissues
Of the plant, depositing nutriment
therein, and finally is evaporated
by the leaves. This process is
called Transportation. AS the soil
furnishes the supply Of water, that
supply, in order that the plant can
develop itself normally, ought to
equal at least the volume of water
given off by the leaves. Should
this equilibrium be broken the
leaves droop, become dried, and
fall. Not only does the plant
languish during an insufficient
supply of water, but the energy of
it's green matter cells decreases
The assimilation of carbon ceases
and the growth is stopped.
The Transportation of the plant is
ten times greater in the presence
of full light than in obscurity, and
during dull, cloudy weather the
Transportation is one-half less than
under direct action Of solar rays.
The only resource a plant has in
the absence of an artificial supply
of water by irrigation, is to send its
roots tapering deep into the soil.
Rootless of wheat have been traced
to depth of eighty inches in the
soil. Sinbad got as far as Hader-
laudt and Deheriam as his author
tiles, when I asked how many
tons of water it took on an acre of
watermelons. For some reason
Sinbad thought this irrelevant, and
turning the hose on me, [ fled.
