say, 80, ,here, is no danger. Ny,
father took his dram every day until,
he died and WAS aever drunk"
OF course he did, but the reason
for that was thaS he died while COM
paratiyely young If he had lived
80 be an old man the probability is
that he would have died drunkard,
for moderate drinking makes a
drunkard, Just as a twig makes a
tree, if anmolested. But you could
not have made him believe it. Not
even after he had been brought home
beastly drunk TO his Mortified family.
No, she had just happened to take a
little too much that ;ime, and it
should never happen again" he hope
fully declared to his sorrowing
mother. But it did happen again,
and yet again. So often, in fact,
that it finally got to be considered
common occurrence in the
family.
He lost his position in a store
where he had hoped to rise till he
became partner in the business. No
employer will keep man long who
gets drunk. His sweetheart broke
off the engagement existing between
them, although it almost broke her
heart to do it., She has never mar
ried to this day, but has remained
true to the memory of what he once
was, and might 30 easily have con.
tinued to be but for mistaken idea.
His sister went into a decline and
died of a broken heart, and his
mother brooded over her sorrows
and the poor clay that her
idol was made of, until she
lost her mind and drowned herself
in stream nearby.
A short time after this David died
also. "Drank himself TO DEATH" as
the saying goes, and went TO his God
to give an account of the "ten tai
Tents which had been entrusted to
him." "Nothing in life became him
like the leaving of it," for he had
long been nothing but a source of
annoyance and disgrace to the few
friends ne had left.
Jonathan was now the only one
left of this once happy family.
Seeing what suffering and trouble
his brother getting drunk had
brought on them all, he hated the
very sight of Intoxicating drinks, and
resolved to let them severely alone.
He kept his word and is to-day
sober, honorable man.
SO you see that Browns example,
although he was only a "moderate
drinker," did far more harm than his
son David's, who was drunkard.
David was made drunkard by try
ing to follow his fathers example,
while his brother was made a sober
man by his example. Every man
should ask himself, cam 1 my broth
er's keeper3" and if he is going to
drink at all, should take enough to
make him bowling drunk, so his
friends will get disgusted and wish
to let 1t alone. "Anything that is
worth doing at all is worth doing
WELL"
"Touch not, taste not, handle not"
is the only safe rule to go by in this
matter. Paul said: "If eating
meat causeth my brother to err, L
will eat no meat while the world
stands" and cit is good neither to
eat flesh nor to drink wine, nor any
thing whereby thy brother stumbleth,
or is offended, or is made weak"

Courting in Ireland.

The Irish way of counting in the
old days and in quiet country places
even to the present day was and is
very different from that style of
things which makes the subject of
many finely painted romances.
There were no stolen interviews, no
twilight walks, no thought of kisses
or even hand clasps-in short, no
lovemaking whatever. But if they
were at reaping or haymaking Peter
took his place next to Rosie, helped
to bind her sheaves when his own
were done and at MONDAY took his
share of soda cake and his draft of
milk from her hands. Then in the
quiet evening, when the work was
dene and the evening meal was over
Peter would rise and look out of the
door and say to his fatheror sisters ::
"Tis fine night. [ think I'll go for
bit of stroll" And the bit of a
stroll inevitably ended on the narrow
path through the whin bushes up to
the stile, over which it was but
three steps into Alec McCrossan's
haggard, and then across to where
the freligh. shone welcoming through
an open door.
Around the fire the family circle
was widened to make room for him.
ss matter of course. Maybe he
took draw at the pipe, and maybe
he didn't. Anyhow he would sit
there quiet and contented for long
enough, talking all the time to
McCrassan or the neighbor men, but
with quiet, happy eyes watching
Rosie, the loved and chosen one, as
she sat in the fiiekering light or
moved about the room. And there
was CLEAN in her eyes and smile
on her lips which told him he was
welcome and bade him stay long and
come again soon, and in his heart
was firm resolve, as soon as ever he
saw his way to marrying, that he
would have Rosie and no other.
This, in spite of all that is written
in story books and silly romanoes or
shone on the stage, is the recognized
and seemiy Irish way of courting.-

Stomach Trouble Causes Heart Trouble

Heart trouble is almost always caused
by stomach trouble. The stomach fails
to digest all the food, and the residue
terments, forming excess of gas which
distends the walls of the stomach, caus
ing pressure on the nerves and arteries
that lead to the heart. This causes the
heart to palpitate or skip beat occa
siohally or both, which is usually very
alarming, causing grave apprehensions
Rydale's stomach Tablets will preyen,
this trouble. They digest the food and
prevent gas from forming in the stomach
If there is no gas in Your stomach you,
heart will not trouble you. Sold by J.
II. Darby, Walhalla, and the Seneca
Pharmacy.

A Cauah Is Only a Svmninm

A cough is not disease, but sump.
tom of disease. A cough always indi.
Gates that either the throat or lungs are
affected. When the mucus lining of the
throat or lungs becomes infiamed the ir.
ritation causes coughing. Don't neglect
a cough. 1t may be the symptom of Sc
rious throat or lung disease. Rydale's
Elixir kills the germs that cause the
trouble, soothes the irritated mucus
membrane, gently stimulates the nerves
that control the respiratory organs and
thus helps nature TO speedily restore
normal conditions and healthy action.
