Letter to David Nelson,
Meconnellsburg, Pa.

Dear Sir: New Orleans is one
of the cities hard on paint; but
nevertheless, they paint lead and
oil gocd deal there.
A g Caller painted two houses
last year for r Hlnderer-one
lead ard oil and the other Devoe.
The first is already IN bad condi
tlon; Devoe is perfect.
M. Augustin, New O:leans, has
painted his house Devoe three
times in eighteen years. This
shows that Deyoe is good for six
years there.
In Florida, where lead.and.oll
wears only a year, we have no
complaint of Devoe and we know
of It's wearing ten years in sever.

wears ten years, YOU know; there
are such instances.
"No complaint" is enough to
say till we have long time exper-
fences; they're coming. Mean
time, Devoe is the paint that takes
least gallons, makes least bill,
and wears longest. So much
we're sure of.
Yours truly

John B. Cough.

y John B. Cough, perhaps the
most eloquent and able temper
ance advocate that ever lived, was
born at )Sandgate, England, Au-
gdst %, dS17. The castle and
other romantic surroundings
greatly affected the boy. HIS
father was a soldier and his moth
er a gentle school mistress.
HIS parents were poor, and to
better the boys prospects they
sent him with a nelghbor to
America. HIS mother marked
passages IN the Bible for him to
learn, especially the second,
third, fourth and fifth chapter of
Proverbs.
He spent two years on a farm
IN New York, with no Sabbath
school or day school, but joining
the Methodist during a revival.
Seeking advancement, he went
to New York City with only half
a dollar IN the world.
Great poverty and many trials,
together with the ability to sing
well and tell funny stories, led
Cough into a life of dissipation.
He became a drunkard and an
actor. HIS first appearance in
Boston was IN the play, Depart.
ed SPIRITS, or the Temperance
Hoax" IN which DIR. Lyman
Beecher and other temperance
leaders were ridiculed.
Mr.. Cough married, took up
his trade of book binding, but
fell to the most profound depths
of lntemperance, knowing all the
horrors of dellrlum tremeus. At
one time he stood on the railroad
track with a bottle of laudanum
at his hps, and only the moving
of the Holy Spirit kept him from
a suicides grave.
The kind words of stranger,
Joel Stratton, a waiter IN a tenn
perance hotel, persuaded Mr..
Cough to sign the pledge. The
demon drink and the stratagems
Of saloon men caused him to fall
twice, but he recovered each time,
through the kindness of friends.
He began TO speak for temper.
ance in a humble way, but his
great ability was soon recognized
and he became a temperance lee
turer, speaking to crowded hous-
es all over the United States and
Great Britain. His speaking
com blned the richest humor, the
tenderest pathos, the most pow.
erful eloquence, the most con.
vlnclng argument.
His autobiography and his
"Platform Echoes" are among the
strongest temperance books ever
written. After winning many
thousands to a life of sobriety, ,-he
died, honored by all the world, IN
1886.
No one can read Coughs life
without deepened pity for the
drunkard, and a deepened sense
of responsibility for speaking the
kind words that may save him
from his awful fate. Exchange.
