A DRUNKARD'S APPEAL.
A young man entered the barroom
of a village tavern and called for
drink. The landlord said, ' No, you
have too much already. You have
had the delirium tremens once, and I
cannot sell you any more.' He stepped
aside to make room for two young
en who had just entered, and the
dlord welted upon them very
litely. The other had stood by
silent, and when the landlord had
finished,he walked up to the landlord
and thus addressed him. ' Six years
ago, at that age, I stood where those
yonng men stand now. 1 was a man
ith-fa:r prospects. Now, as the age
twenty-eight, I am a wreck, body
mind. You led me to drinit, In
ootn I formed the habit that has
ee+ my ruin. Now give the a few
more glasses and your work is done.
I shall soon be out of the way. There
is no hope for me. But they can he
saved ; they may be men again. Do
not sell to them. Sell it to me and
let me die, and the world will be rid
of me; but for heaven's sake sell them
no more !' The landlord listened,pale
and trembling. Setting down the
decanter he exclaimed, God helping
me, that is the last drop I will ever,
sell to any one 1' And he kept his
word,
Children Cry for

the labor of a hi roine. This boy
comes from the country, and whoa
Itis 'nether wrote to enter him at Col-
lege she said in her letter, 1 At last I
can give my boy the blessed privi-
legee of education. The money has
been hardly earned. I earned every
penny of it walking in the cotton

war this Spartan mother was a great
lady. She owned many slaves and

and patiently picks off the fleece, for
which she is paid for picking so much

MORAL CONDUCT.
SOME SEARCHING} QUESTIONS AND
CONCLUSIVE ANSWERS.
How does physical welfare effect
moral conduct.
This question is agitating the minds
of the best man of our country.
Judges, scientists, legislators are dis-
cussing it in private, as well as the
workingmen, the bankers, and the
clergy.
Our country like the reat of the
world, is fast filling up with men
having anarchical ideas, and other
socia land political extremists.
May not our morbid tendencies
come from the diseaset of• the mind,
caused by the disease of the body ?
Are they not due to some deranged
organ, which, in its enfeebled state
diffuses poison through the system,
thus affecting the brain.
It is a long established fact that
bodily disease causes most cases of
insanity and"softening of the brain"
The medical profession claims that
the:kidneys are the principal health -
insuring organs of the body. If they
are diseased they do not perforin
their proper functions and expel the
the poisonous matters. If these are
retained are recirculate through the
system they produce most of our cow -
mon derangements.
We have published in our columns
from time to time, remarkable ac-
counts of restoration to health from
from all manner of diseases (even of
insanity, caused as above stated) by
Warner's safe cure. There is no
doubt that this is the most popular
remedy offered for sale, and' from the
very best information we can obtain,
the sale of it contiuues to increase.
Why is this?
Public sentiment, as a rule, is a
fair and just criterion. We find this
safe cure in the largest cities, and in
the most remote pasta of the world.
Its merits are proclaimed by the con-
sumers, as well as the vendors. Miss
Carrie L. Wallis ofa3everly, Mass,, is
reported to have been desperately ill
from general female derangements
for years, and to have been restored
to, and kept in excellent health by
this wonderfully popularremedy, and
Miss Lillie Stephens of 1223 Third
street, Louisville Ky., was raised by
it Isom her death-bed,when her phy-
sicians said she was incurable.
A prominent gentleman, high in
official position, said to us the other
day, that if he were governor, and a
petition for pardon was presented to
him, he would require a thorough in-
vestigation, as to physivaal health of
criminal at the time the crime was
committed. In view of such facts
the 'recommendations of such remedy,
are well worth consideration.
The solution of the relation of mor
al conduct to physical health, ought
to be well established in the minds
of all, and our statesmen should be
prepared to meet the issues growing
out of it when they appear.
GOOD FOR THE FARMER S
GOOD FOR ALT,.
Senator Erye, of Maine, is oppos=
ed to reciprocity with this county
because, as be says, Canada would
get a market of 60,000,000 while
the United States would only get a
market of 5,000,000. The Canad-
ian opponents of the scheme make
their strongest 6 -objection on the
ground that 5,000,000 would" be
swamped by the competition of 60,-
000,000. If the United States had
no larger population than Canada
has, they wouldn't be afraid ; not
they! Lord Melbourne used to say
to his Cabinet: "It matters not what
you say gentleman, but it is impor-
tant that you shall all say the same
thing." If Senator Frye's reason-
ing is good, that of the Canadian
opponents of reciprocity must be
bad. Some of those who 'admit
that freedom to export faun pro-
ducts to the United States would be
good for Cansda yet contend that
freedom to import manufactured
goods from the United States would
be bad for us. They seem to think
that manufacturers are entitled
to exceptionally favorable treat-.
ment We cannot seo why. Sure-
ly we do not want Canadian towns
to thrive at the expense of the
country. People engaged in agri-
cultural pursuits are at least as
moral and as healthy as their town
cousins. We all know, when we
take time to think of it, that the
very beat thing that could happen
for the people working in Canadian
towns would bo a vast extension of
our agricultural population. Men's
primary desire in working at all is
is to get food. The morefood there
the greater is the market for ell
things that can be exchanged for
food. Englands poverty is trace-
able to the great exodus from the
count.•y to the cities. When atown
is afflicted by -poverty, a movement
of a part of the population to the
country is alerays suggested. In
view of these facts, any scheme
which promises to make Canadian
agriculture more profitable is good
for the city people, and the latter
should not take a narrow view of
the reeiproeity question. --Ham ilton

Pitcher'S Castoria:
• i
SIS, FEST GIRL.
Ho hurried up to the office as
s,on as he entered the hotel, and
without waiting to register inquir-
ed eagerly:
"Any letter for fuel"
The clerk sorted over a px•kage
with the negligeut attention that
comes of prautico, then flipped one
-a very small one- on the coun-
ter.
The travelling man took it with
a curious smile that twisted his
pleasant -looking face into a mask of
expectancy.
He smiled more as he read it.
Then oblivious of other travellers
who josteled, he laid it tenderly
against his lips and actually kissed
it.
A loud guffaw startled him.
"Now look here old fellow," said
a loud voice "that won't you know.
Too spooney for anything. Confess
now, your wife didn't write that
letter 1"
"No she didn't," said the travel-
ling man with an amazed look, as
if be would like to change the sub- 1
ject. "That letter is from my best
girl."
The admission was Co unexpected
that the trio of friends who had
caught him said no more .until after
they had eaten a good dinner and
they were seated in a chum's room:
Then they began to badger him.
"It's no use,you have got to read
it to us, Dick, " said one of them,
"we want to know all about your
best girl."
"So you shall" said Dick with
great coolness; "I will give you the
letterand you can read it yourselves.
There it is," and he laid it open on
the table.
'I guess not,' said the one who
had been loudest in demanding it,
'we like to chaff a little, but I hope
we are gentleman. The young lady
would hardly care to have her letter
read by sucli a 'crowd,' and he look-
ed reproachfully at his friend.
'But I insist upon it,' was the
answer 'there is nothing in it to be
ashamed of -except the spelling ;
that is a little shaky, I'll admit
but she won't mind in the least.
Read it Hardy, and judge for your-
self.'
Thus urged Hardy took up the
letter shame-facedly enough and
read it. There were only a few
words, First be laughed' -then
swallowed suspiciously, and as Ile
Welled its threw it on the table
again and rubbed the back of his
hand across his eyes as if troubled
with dimness of vision.
Pshaw,' he said 'if I had a love set-
ter like that- -' and then he was
silent.
aFait• play!' cried one of the others
with an uneasy laugh.
'I'll read it to you boys' said their
friend, seeing they made no hove,
to take it, 'and I think you'll ag-
ree with rue, that it is 0 model love
letter.'
And this is what he read:
Mi owen deer PaPs
I sa mi PR•airs every Hite amid
Wen I kis yure Pictshure i ASK
god to blese you gOOd bi PaPa
yure best gurl DOLLY.
For a moment or two the com-
pany remained silent, while the
little letter was passed from hand'
to hand, and you would have said
every one . had bay fever by the
snuffing that was hoard. Then
Hardy jumped to his feet.
`Three•cheers for Dolly and three
more for Dick's best girl!'
They were given with a will.
In India, where the elephant is
treated by his mahout almost as one
of the family, the grateful animal
makes a return for the kindness
shown it by voluntarily taking charge
of the baby. It will patiently permit
itself to be mauled by its little charge
and will showw great solicitude when
the child cries. Som .times. the ele-
phant will become so attached to its
baby friend as to insist upon ite
constant presence. • Such a case is
known where the elephant went so
far as to refuse,to eat except in the
presence of its little friend. Its at-
tachmeut was so genuine that the
child's parents would not hesitate to
leave the baby in the elephant's care,
knowing that it could have no more
faithful nurse. And the kindly
monster never belied the trust rsposed
in it. -St. Nicholas for. November.

People formerly had, trying to swallow
the old-fashioned pill with its film of
magnesia vainly disguising its bitter -
[less ; and what a contrast to Ayer's
Pills, that have been well called "rued
Mated sugar -plums" -the only fear be-
ing that patients may be tempted into
taking too ninny at a dose. But the
directions are plain and should be
strictly followed.
J. T; Teller, M. D„ of Chittenango,
N. Y., expresses exactly what hundreds
have written at greater length. Ira"^
says: " Ayer's Cathartic Pills are highly
appreciated. They are perfect in form
and coating, and their effects are all
that the most careful physician could
desire. They have supplanted all the
Pills formerly popular bore, and I think
it must bo long before any other can
be made that will at all compare with
them. Those who buy your pills get
fall value for their money."
"Safe, pleasant, and certain in
their notion," is the concise testimony'
of Dr. George E. Walker, of Martins-
ville, Virginia.

arations. The public having once used
them, will have no others." - Ilerrv',`n
