Ingersoll's Eulogy on Whisky.
II send you some Of the most
wonderful whisky that ever drove
the skeleton from the feast of
painted landscapes in the brain Of
man. It is the mingled souls of
wheat and corn. In it you will
find the sunshine and shadows that
chased each other over billowy
fields, the breath of June, the carol
of the lark, and dew of the night,
the wealth of summer and au-
tumn's rich content, all golden
with imprisoned light. Drink it
and you will hear the voice of men
and maidens singing the Harvest
Home mingled with the laughter
of children. Drink it and you will
feel within your blood the starred
dawns, the dreamy, tawny dusks
of perfect days. For forty years
this liquid JOY has been within
slaves Of oak, longing to touch the
lips of man.
DR.. BUCKLEY's REPLY. -
II send you some of the most
wonderful whisky that ever
brought a skeleton into the closet,
or painted scenes of lust and blood
shed in the brain Of men. It is
the ghost of wheat and corn, crazed
by the loss of their bodies. In it
you will find transient sunshine
chased by a shadow as cold as the
arctic. midnight; in which the
breath of June grows icy, and the
carol of the lark gives place to the
foreboding cry of the raven.
Drink it and you shall have woe,
sorrow, babbling, and wounds
without cause; your eyes shall be-
hold strange women, and your
heart shall utter perverse things.
Drink it deep, and you shall hear
the voices of demons shrieking,
women wailing, and worse than
orphaned children mourning the
loss of a father who yet lives.
Drink it deep and long, and SER
penis will hiss in your ears, coil
themselves about your neck, and
seize you with their fangs; for at
last it biteth like a serpent and
stingeth like an ADDER For forty
years this liquid death has been
within slaves of oak, harmless
there as pure water. / send it to
you that you may put an enemy
in your mouth to steal away your
brains And yet l call myself
your friend.''
For some time past I have want
ed to insert a card of thanks in
this column for the words of ap-
probation and encouragement /
have. received from many of the
PRINCETON UNION readers. 1t has
often seemed to me that I could
not give the time to the work in
addition to my State work and
home cares, and l have thought at
times would have to drop it, but
each time some kind letter or word
either spoken or sent to me by my
husband or some kind friend has
helped me to try again. I wish to
thank all for their words and let
tiers of kindness and also these who
have sent me clippings or items Of
news which are so helpful. I shall
always be pleased to receive items
of interest on the subject of tenn
perance. Truly, the saloon is the
greatest enemy of the home and
we should all be united in raising
the banner of temperance high:
He is the free man whom the
truth makes tree, and all are slaves
beside. "-Cowper.

that a man may spank his wife.
It is a good thing be does not live
