had bought it when it was only two

years he had handled it daily, so
that it was considered perfectly
harmless and completely under his
control. He had seen it grow from
a tiny reptile, which he hacl often
carried in his bosom, into, a fearful
monster,
The curtain rises on an Indian
woodland scene. The wierd strains
of an oriental band steal through
the trees, A rustling noise is heard,
and a huge serpent is seen winding
its way through the undergrowth. It
stops. Its head is erect. Its bright
eyes sparkle. Its whole body seems
animated. A man emerges from
the heavy foliage, and their- eyes
meet. The serpent quailasbefore the
man—man is *tor. The serpent is
uncer,control= of a master. Cinder
his guidance and direction it per-
forms a series of frightful feats. At
a signal from the man it slowly ap-
proaches him and begins to coil its
heavy folds around hire. Higher
and higher do they rise, until plan
and serpent seem blended into one.
Its hideous lead is roarer aloft above
the mass. The pian gives a little
scream, aucl the audience united in a
thunderous burst of applause, but it
freezes upon their lips. The trainers
scream was a wail of death agony.
Those cold, slimy folds had embraced
him for the last time. They had
crushed the Iif'e out of him, and the
horror-stricken audience heard bone
after bone crack, as those powerful
folds tightened upon hila.. Man's
plaything had become his master.
His slave for twenty-five years had
enslaved him.
In this horrible incident is por-
trayed the whole story of intemper-
ance. The man who has taken the
first glass of intoxicating liquor has
the boa of intemperance in his bosons.
It' he throttles the monster now, it is
easily done. But if he permits it to
live, feeds and nourishes it, he may
control if for even twenty five years;
but it is continually growing, and
-some day its soul-destroying folds
will encircle .his soul and bear it to
those regions of woe " where the
worm dieth not and the fire is not
quenched." The unchangeable de-
cree of Almighty God is : " No
drunkard shall enter the kingdom of
-,.God."--Bible Teacher.

Try, My Boy, Try.
A gentleman travelling. in the
northern part of Ireland, heard the
voices of children, and stopped to
listen.
Finding the sound came from a
shall building used as a school
house; 11e drew neai, as tite door was
open, lie went in, and listened to the
words the goys were spelling,
One little fellow stood apart, look-
ing very sad.
Why does that boy stand there?
asked the gentlernan.
Oh, he is good for malting! replied
the teacher. There is nothing in
him, I can make nothing of him. Ile
is the most stupid boy in the school.
The gentlenuni was surprised at
this answer. Ile Saw that the teacher
was so stern and rough that the
younger and more timid were nearly
crushed. After a few words to
them, placing his hand on the noble
brow of the little fellow who stood
apart, he said :
One of these days you may be a
fine scholar; don't give up; try, my
boy, try.

setting fire to the rear of A. J.

able headway and spread to the
adjoining premises. Tne losses are

A. kind-hearted confectioner
offered a free treat of a package of
candy to every child who would call
at his store at a given hour on a
certain day. In anticipation of the
rush he prepared 500 'packages, but
the school census returns proved
deceptive, as no less than 1300
children, professing to be 10 years of
age or under, turned up and claimed
a package.
