Something womanly in her responded to the pitiful, helpless cry. She went back, and kneeling by his side, put the I,ottle to his mouth.

A Spanish traveler met an Indian in , the middle of a desert. They were both - on horseback, but the Spaniard ' was afraid that his horse would not be able to carry him to the end of his journey, as it -was very, lame. He therefore de- manded the Indian's horse, which was young and strong, in exchange for his. The Indian, as was natural, refused to comply • NVi th the unjust demand. The Spaniard then -tried tb pick a quarrel with hina•ancl-they soon came to_ blows. The Spaniard being well armed, easily defeated the Indianaand seizing his vig- orous steed, continued his journey. The Indian followed him to the nearest town, and lodged a complaint against the thief, who was accordingly summon-.. ed to appear before the judge, and bring • the horse with him. The- Spaniard swore that the Indian was an imposter, that the horse was his own, aid that he had reared it himself. Therej being no proof .to the contrary, the judge was about to dismiss the case, wh n the In- idian cried: "The horse is mi e,_and I will prove it." He thereupon1 suddenly threw his cloak over the animal's head, and thus addressed the judge: "This man declares that he has had his horsd 4 since it was quite young. " ake him tell which of its eyes is blind." The Spaniard, not wishing to appe r to have any doubt on the point, at nce said: "The right eye." The Indiarl then un- covered the horse's head, ind said: "Neither the right nor the le t. He is not blind at all. The judge, onvinced by a proof so ingenious and str sng, order- ed the horse to be restored to its right- ful owner. And thus the mat er ended. Things to be Remem ered.

After tele -ring to his conversion, he said: , " When delirious With whisky I struck Poor Detily and killed him outright. , The fear f death by violence caused me to cover iv crime.

He said- that liquor was no xcuse for Crime; and that "he richly de erved hell fire for not leaving it alone, b t he seem- ed to be spell -bound by the evil." • I After referring to prohibitio as it is in several States, Wilson con sluded : . ' 'Already I fancy I see st uding on the left hand of God a ghast1 army of suicides, drunkards and milli ns of un- saved wretches, who owe t eir ever- lasting punishment to falling a prey to the maw of monster alcohol. My heart aches as I think of those -who, by taking a single glass at a party, hav been by it alone lured to take a false step, and from that have gradually drifted to the sea shores of corruption, and when they have seen the foaming breakers of death yawning around them they perhaps make some feeble effort to launch the life boats and escape the sly assassin; but they have found it to be the boat of -despair, and have gone.down to an un- timely grave without a hope Or a friend, and in many instances buri' d among the wsk-nown dead in the Pottr's field.
