The Soldering Machine.

The 'Tattler" recently met quaint and
amusing old gentleman, who. said, "A
portion of my life was spent in sleepy
Pennsylvania town. which has grown lit
tie in the course of half century. and
still preserves many of the quaint customs
of its earliest days. You will find in this
idyllic retreat counterparts of all the cele-
brities who figure so delightfully."- in Miss
Mitford's Our Village In my boyhoodi
it had an institution which distinguished
it from all sister villages-an institution
quite unknown to modern communities.
It was called the SOLDERING machine. This
consisted of rude, snringless two-wheeled
vehicle, with a board body, drawn by
motley assembly of bummers and royster.
ers, old and young. who can always be
in country place on the slight
est signal when anything exciting is IN
the wind. When one of the rather nuuer-
ous town drunkards was discovered in
favorable position, the sobering machine
was slyly backed up to the curb, the vic
tim was quickly pushed into the cart
and then pulled through the streets over
every possible obstacle by the jeering mob
that manned the ropes. The victim, it
was assumed, was jolted. jerked and
thumped into semi-sobriety by this rough
riding. At any rate, few of the town
loafers who had tested the tonic virtues
of the SOLDERING machine vearned for sec.
ond dose. Many of the noisy, ragged
crowd who helped to drag the sobering
machine over it's devious route had them
selves taken similar trips.
''The rude apparatus. T suspect" con.
tinued the old gentleman. according to the
Philadelphia Ledger, "did more for the
cause OF temperance in it's day than the.
more gentle and respectable methods OF
promoting the reform. The appliance was
carefully housed and all the bloods in town
knew where it was to be found. Sometimes
it figured in parades, and, when bedecked.
and bedizened with flowers, flags and rib
bons, it attracted almost as much notice
as the little, sputtering hand engine, which
was supposed to do duty on haystack

The Serpent in the Cup.

I was never more impressed with tho
terrible nature of the serpent which lies
coiled in the cup than in learning the fol.
lowing story A Christian physician had
told lady sad story of woman's degra-
dation, and in closing said: "But l can
show you something vastly worse" He
took her to one of the hospital wards and
brought her to little crib, where, bound
head and foot, that it might not dash it.
self to pieces, lay q babe of seventeen
months of age in the agonies of delirium
tremens. After reaching home this lady
dare not tell the story until in black and
white the facts were before her. So she
wrote to the doctor (who gives so much OF
his time and strength to the benevolent
institutions of a certain city). She re-
ceived from an inmate of his dwelling this
reply: at is not an uncommon thing for
children, from one year and upward, to
be brought to this hospital in delirium
tremens. Mothers begin to give their
children Intoxicating drinks at a very
early age, which they increase, as the de-;
sire to go out for debauch or work, and
SO the little ones come to the hospital IN
this condition. The babe of whom you ask
has probably lost its sight, but not its
hearing. and the passion is ruling in death.
for it opens its mouth to receive the aico-
holic stimulant. as the bird in the nest to
receive the food from its mother. ."-Breth-
