THE GREAT DESTROYER
SOME STARTLING FACTS ABOUT
THE VICE OF INTEMPERANcE,

Going Through the BIii1-Though It May
Seem to stand Still, the Cause Of Tenn
perance Moves Forward at a Crafty
Ing Pnce-Seven Steps Ahead.
A dusty miller, white as snow,
With thought lines on his honest brow,
Fell asleep on his sacks one day,
And dreamed he saw across the way
Scores OF neighbors coming to mill
Without bag or sack to fill.
He said to himself, Il will not trust,
They can't get -four without the dust!"
There was 4 rollicliing topper, Jim,
Whose hat had neither crown nor rim;
He hated monarchies and that
Is why he wore a crown-less hat.
At least he said so but the "fx"
Of that chapeau was caused by 'ebricks."
Shoeless, he climbed the steps ''pell NELL"
Headforemost in the hopper he fell.
He was followed by Dandy Zack,
A friend of art and applejack,
His taste, | fear, was taste for wine,
And not esthetic taste divine.
HIS linen had neither stain nor blot,
HIS boots reflected, If he did nots
Into the hopper he softly slid,
And under the rags of Tim was hid.
Tipplers and topers tumbled in,
Smelling of whisky, beer and gin,
Moderate drinkers in dress genteel,
Drunkards down at the mouth and heel,
Gents of fashion who sip the wine,
Stained of logwood, not from the Rhine,
And bummers boasting strength of will,
Passed quickly through the murmuring
mill.
The miller in dreams went to the bin,
To see the grist it had within;
Judge his surprise when jolly Tim, G
No longer tipsy, greeted him
As man who is sober should,
Smiling, we'll dressed, erect he stood,
His cheeks were touched with healthy
rose,
The red had faded from his nose.
There, hat in hand, stood Dandy Zack,
Gone was the odor of applejack,
Ex-drinkers in their senses stood,
Like brave band in brotherhood.
They'd given up ale and gin and wine,
And talked OF charters they would sign.
A team came Gathering down the hill;
The miller woke and worked his mill.

no such thing as unrelated happiness. no
such thing as happiness condensed into
outward form of any kind. which we,
have only to get hold Of in order to en-
joy. Happiness does not consist in
things at all. but in those moods Of the
soul in which we take hold Of things and

poison you. Earn it, and It will feed
your soul with sweetest delight. ht.-Ziop's

to lessen the bitterness Of their presence,
but is either crushed or desperate, de-

made himself stranger to the possibil-

giving, the Giver who thus hallows and
blesses his life, has more intense joy in
his possessions than he can express in,
words. And having learned to know and
trust the overruling Providence, his
faith helps him when the evil days draw
nigh, and pain and grief are his portion.
The same wisdom and love that gave
him abundance will watch him and care
for him in the day Of his extremity.
Though he may not understand, he will
trust. Though he may not be merry, he
cannot be utterly cast down, for God
knows and cares. He receives the peace
that is promised, iand his very attitude
toward his Father shall bring him mes
ure of comfort and hope. II

The Precious Nom ents.

Coming hastily into a chamber. had
almost thrown down crystal hour
glass. Fear lest had made me grieve
as if I had broken it. But alas! how
much precious time have I cast away
without any regret! The hour-glass was
but crystal, while each hour is a pearl:
that but like to be broken. this lost OUT
right; that but casually, this done wit
fully. A better hour-glass might be
bought: but time, once lost. is lost for
ever. Thus we grieve more for toys
than for treasure. Lord, give me an
hour-glass, not to be by me. but to be in
ME. Teach me to number my days. An
hour-glass to turn ME, that I may apply
my heart unto wisdom.-Thomas Fuller.
