. THE TWO GLASSES,
Thera were two glasses, filled to the brim,
Ott a rich luau's tab.e, rim to rim,
One was ruddy and red' as blood,
And one was clear as the crystal flood,
Saki the glass of wine to the paler brother:
"Let its tell the tales of the past to each
other.
I can tell of banquet and revel and mirth,
And the proudest and grandest souls on
earth
Fell under ley touch as though struck by
blight
Where I was ling, for I ruled in might ;
Frani the heads of kings I have torn the
crown ;
From the height of fame I have hurled
mon down,
I leave blasted many an honoured name;
I have taken virtue and given shame;
I have tempted youth with a sip, a taste,
That bas made iris fortune a barren waste.
Far getter than' a king am I,
Or them any army beneath the sky.
"I have mtde the are) of the driver fail,
And sent the tr, in from the iron rail.
I have made good ships go clown at sea,
And the shrieks of the 'lost were sweet to
me,
For they said behold how great you be!
Fame, strength, wealth, genius before yon

For your might and power are over all.
Ido I ho 1 pale brother," laughed the wine,
"Can yon beast of deeds as great as mine?
Said the water glass, "I cannot boast
Of a king dethroned or a murdered host,
But I can tell of hearts once sad,
By my crystal drops made light and glad --
Of thirsts I've quenched, of brows.. I've
laved,
Of hands I've cooled and souls I've saved;
I've leaped through the valley, dashed down
the mountain,
Flowed in the river and played in the
fountain,
Slept in the sunshine and dropped from the
sty,
And everywhere gladdened the landscape
• and eye.
"I have eased the hot forehead of fever and
pain ;
I have made the parched meadows grow
fertile with grain ;
I can tell of the powerful wheel of the
mill
That ground out flour and turned at my
will ;
I can tell of manhood, debated by you,
That I lifted up and crowned anew.
I cheer, I help, I strengthen and aid;
I gladden the heart of matt and maid ;
I set the wine -chain captive free,
And all at•. better for knowing me."
'.these are the tales they told each other—
The glass of wine and its pale brother—
As they sat together, filled to the brim,
On the rich man's table, rim to rim.

A Frlexidly Game of Cards.
There is no harm in a friendly
game of cards, ii a frequent remark;
and there are thousand= of young
persons and i:lelnbers of churches
who indulge is: this friendly game.
But somehow this friendly game
snakes trouble, wrecks lives and
destroys souls. Look at a twelve
month's record of a few of the results
of this friendly game.
Anthony Comstock, agent for the
Society for the Suppression of Vice,
bas made a synopsis from the papers
of 1890 of the crimes having their
origin in gambling. One hundred
and twenty-eight persons were either
shot or stabbed over gambling
games. Sit attempted suicide,
twenty-four committed suicide, and
sixty persons were murdered in cold
blood, while two were driven insane.
Sixty-eight persons have been ruin-
ed by pool -gambling and betting
upon horse -racing. Among the
crimes committed to get looney to
gamble with are two burglaries,
eighteen forgeries, and eighty-five
embezzlements; while thirty-two
persons holding positions of trust in
banks and other places of mercantile
life absconded, The enormous sum
of $2,888,372 is shown by this stale
record as the proceeds of the embez-
zlements and defalcations. To these
crimes nitist be added long list of
thefts, robberies, embezzlements,
lareenies, and dcfaleations which aro
}lever known except to immediate
friends oe persaus especially interest-
ed.
Add to these the neglect of home,
abandontnent of families, cruelty to
wives and ellfldren, robbery of the
poor, swindling of strangers and
+country people coming to the city,
the shame and disgrace of decent
and respectable people who are

who fell and shard the shame they
Have brought upon them ; and then
look beyond and see the perdition
that awaits the robbers, murderers,
swindlers, criminals, and suicides
caused by this vice, and you can sec
what follows
A FRIENDLY GAME OF CARDS,
An excellent thing to say in
answer to an invitation to join in a
friendly game of cards is; 1 do not
know one card from another. And
a good answer when urged to sit
down to a card table is: I do not
know how to play cards, and I have
no desire to learn,
A Temperance Anecdote.
ONE OF T}IE STORIES TILtT JOHN B.
C OUGH TOLD WELL.
A friend of mine, seeking for
objects of charity, got into the room
of a tenement house. It was vacant..
He saw a ladder pushed through the
ceiling. Thinking perhaps that
some poor creature had crept up
there, he climbed the ladder, drew
himself through the hole, and found
himself under the rafters. There
was no light but that which came
through a bull's-eye in the place of a
tile, Soon he saw a heap off chips
and shavings, and on them a boy
about ton years old.
Boy, what are you doing there ?
Hush,! don't tell anybody—please,
sir.
What are you doing here ?
Don't tell anybody, sir—I'm bid-
ing.
What are you hiding from?
• Don't tell anybody, if you please,
sir.
Where's your mother ?
Mother is dead.
Where's your father ?
Hush ! don't tell him ! don't] tell
hint! but look here! He turned
himself on bis face, and through the
rags of his jacket and shirt my
friend saw the • boy's flesh was
bruised, and the skin was broken.
Why, my boy, who beat yea like
that ?
Father did, sir.,
What did your father beat you
like that for ?
Father got drunk, sir, and beat
me 'cos I wouldn.'t steal.
Did you ever steal ?
Yes, sir. I was a street thief
once.
And why don't you steal any
more ?
Please, sir, I went to the mission
school, and they told me there of
God, and of Heaven, and of Jesus ;
and they taught me, Thou shalt not
steal, and I'll never steal again, if
father kills me for it. But, please
sir, don't tell him. •
My boy, you must not stay here;
you will die. Now, you wait,
patiently here for a little time ; I'm
going away to see a lady. We will
get a better place for you than this.
Thank yon, sir; but, please sir,
would you like to hear sue sing a
little hymn ?
Bruised, battered, forlorn, friend-
less, motherless, hiding away from
an infuriated father, he hacl a little
hymn to sing.
Yes, I will hear you sing your
little hymn.
He raised himself on his elbow,

Whilst both sexes are sufferers from
kidney trouble, in many respects women
are liable to peculiar weaknesses and
pain, because of disorganization of the
kidneys. Objeetion is taken,and rightly,
to many remedies because of the
methods of use, as well as after -unplea-
santness. This is never the case with
South American Kidney Cure. It gives
ease to the patient in six hours, and no
annoying effects follow, for in a short
time, even in aggravated cases, an entire
cure is effected. There is no other
medicine like South American Kidney
Cure, It is a remedy for the kidneys
and bladder only—not a general specific
that is supposed to cure everything and
