Resistance to Temptation.

Hugh Miller has told how, by an act of
youthful decision, he saved himself from
one of the strong temptations 80 peculiar
10 life Of toll. When employed as q
mason, it was usual for his fellow-work-
men to have an occasional treat Of drink,
and one day two glasses of whisky fell to
his share, which he swallowed When
he reached home, he found, on opening
his favorite book acon's Essays"-
that the letters danced before his eyes,
and that he could no longer master the
sense. "The condition." he says, Unto
which had brought myself was, felt,
one of degradation. 1 had sunk, by my
own act, for the time, to lower level of
intelligence than that on which it was
my privilege to be placed; and though
the state could have been no very favor
aCle one for forming a resolution, 1 in
that hour determined that / should
never again sacrifice my capacity of
intellectual enjoyment to a drinking
usage aud with Gods help was enabled
to hold by the determination" 1t is
such decisions as this that often form the
turning.points in a mans life, and
furnish the foundation of his future
character. And this rock, on which
Miller might have been wrecked, if he
had not at the right moment put forth
his moral strength to strike away from
it, is one that youth and manhood alike
need to be constantly on their guard
against, 1t is about one of the worst
and most deadly, as we'll as extravagant,
temptations which lie in the way of
youth. Sir Walter Scott used to say
"that OF all vices, drinking is tn most
incompatible with greatness" Not only
30, but it is incompatible with economy,
decency, health and honest living
When a youth cannot restrain, he must
abstain. DIR. Johnson's case is the case
of many. He said, referring to his own
habits, "Sir, can abstain but can't be
moderate Smiles.

TEMPERANCE SERMONS,
The Tramp's Speech.

1t was growing late, The tide of
humanity that earlier in the evening
had ebbed and flowed through the
streets Of the great city had swept on
ward, leaving the strange and almost
appalling sense OF desolatiOn that comes
when the noises Of the town are hushed.
The electric lights hared unnoticed in
the corners the street cars passed at
further intervals now and then a night
worker hurried by, his footsteps ringing
out loud and clear in the stiffness. In
front of saloon, weose lights shown out
bright and rudy across the pavement,
stood a tramp, unshorn, ragged, dirty,
disgusting. He watched with envious
eyes the men who passed in and out
through the swinging doors, and then he
turned his eyes toward two young
fellows in evening dress who were COM
ing down the street. They had
been drinking deeply, and they stopped
before the saloon door and looked Gu
riously at him.
"By JOve." said one, "think of having
a thirst like that, and and not the price
OF an extinguisher in your pocket Beats
old Tantalus all to pieces, eh2 Liquor,
liquor, everywhere, and not a drop to
drink.
He ran his hands in his pocket and
protfered the tramp a dime, but before it
could be accepted the other young
fellow interposed.
"Say," he said, "let's do the good
Samaritan and set Hobo up to a good
drink"
The other hilariously consented, and
the tramp slouched into the saloon at
the heels Of the two gided youths. The
barkeeper set before them glasses and
liquors, and. with hand that shook the
tramp poured out trimming glass and
raised IT to his lips.
'stop," cried one Of the young men
drunksnly, make us a speech. II is
poor liquor that doesn't unloosen a mans
tongue"

self and stood before them with a grace
and dignity that ell his rags aud dirt
could not obscure.
"Gentlemen," he said, II lDOk tonight
at you aud at myself, and II seems to me
l look upon the picture OF NV lost man
hood. This blOated face was once as
Young and handsome as yours. This
stumbling figure once walked as proudly

and, at last. strangled them that l might
be tortured with their cries no more.
Today, am a husband without wife,
a father without a child, tramp with
no home to call his own, a man in whom
every good impulse is dead. All, all,
swallowed up in the maelstrom of
drink"
The tramp ceased speaking. The glass
fell from his nerveless fingers and shiv-
cred into thousand fragments on the
floor The swinging doors pushed open
and shut to again, and when the little
group about the bar looked up the tramp
was gone.-New Orleans PcaYune.

A WISE MOVE.

The levying OF the road tax by the
ii seal court in its last session was an act
of wisdom. The roads of the county are
in terrible condition, and this is in the
nature Of a desperate resort, The tax
payers will find that the good that will
be done with the money procured by
this extra taxation will rebound TO their
interest. The different district will have
more money to spend on the highways
this year because the supervisors will not
have TO buy new tools and road working
machinery, Besides almost every dis
trict in the county still has some OF last
years money on hand. The appoint
ment OF road supervisor was also wife
move. This will centralizs respo visibility.
The gentleman appointed, S. A, Pate, is
thoroughly conscientious and is in every
way qualified to act. We would advise
the new road supervisor to adopt the
following plan in this years work;
First-To begin at the most important
town in each district, and work the high
ways out from each place. This will
give farmers access TO their markets and
shipping points.
Second-to improve the bad places in
the most used highways.
Third-TO make all improvements
permanent. even THOUGH II limits the
extent OF the work done during the ses-
son.
The magistrates have all worked for
the best interests OF the county and are
TO be commended for their courage, and
for their economical administration OF
a6ain.
