Intelligent people have given up the idea of buy - ng ordinary commonapectaelea at a conuter,because they see well with them. It may be that only one eye fs brought into use, while the other may be so strained as to result in bllndneas. If your eyea are weak, or sight poor can at J. S. ROBERT'S Drug Store and have them tested. Does the print blur or do the eyes tire when reading ? Do the eyes ache ?Da the eyes water? Are they sore orinftained ? These symptoms point to defects in the retraotion, or the muscles of the eyea and can be perfectly cor- rected. Do you have headache ? Eye strain .causes more headaches than all other causes combined. Thous- ands of peopleare suffering who do net realize that eye strain is the cause. All these cases can be cured with glasses that are made to correct the error in the eyes. The eyes of children should be carefully tested. Ie many cases the defect in the eyes is shown by various symptoms, such as inability to see figures on a blackboard, holding the book close to the eyes, blurring of letters, crossed eyes or eyes turning In, blinking, watering of the eyes and piirtioularly head- ache. In many oases the child- is accused of being dull or stupid, when the fault is in the sight, and can be corrected with glasses. If you are wearing glasses that are not satisfactory, bring then( to me. In case of disease, yon will be 'recommended to the physician at once for treatment. 1453 Western Advertiser FOR 1896-7.

Ae Eloquent and Tiotureaque Serrano on. • the Topic The Sou„ of the Drunkard"- Tlae Power and the Evils of Inteanper- ance in the Use of Liquor; Washington, ,Jan. 10.—This discourse of Dr. 'taixnago it from a most unusual standpoint, an arousing call to reforma- tion from dissipated habits, and must do wide goad. .The text was Psalms lxix, 12, "I was the song of the drunkards." Who ®aid tbat? Was it David or was it Christ? It was both. These . Messianic Psalms are like a telescope . Pull the in- strument to a certain range and it shows you an object. near by. Pu11 it to another range, and it will show you objects far away. David and Christ were both, each In his own time, the.song of the drunk- arde.Holiness of doctrine and lite always did excite winked merriment, ,Although David bad fully reformed and written a psalmody in which all subsequent ages have sobbed out 'their penitence, hie enemies preferred to fetch , up his old career and put into metric measures sins long before forgiven. Christ, who com- mitted no sin, was still more the subject of unholy song,,beoause the better onens the more iniquity hates him. Of the best being whose voice ever moved the air or whose foot ever touohed the earth it might be said: -- The byword of the passing throng, The rulers scoff, the drunkard's song. - The earth fitted up for the hill race, in congratulation the morn stars sing a song.

For practical and saving and warni nd Christian purposes I will announce ou the characteristics of that w nown cadence mentioned in my to irst I remark that the song of runkards is an old song.

He sounded the first note e old music of inebriaoy. An Ara thor of A. D. 1310 wrote: "Noah, b g come out of the ark, ordered each e sons to build a house.

'Well, "1.take half,' replied Noah, 'and 1 b 11 take the other.' 'Thet is notsuff`ic yet,' responded Gabriel.

The most expemtive of all mimic churoh time he had joined and resumed is the sonteof the drunkard. It is the highest tariff of nations—uot a protec- tive tariff, but a tariff of doom, a tariff of woe, a tariff of death This evil whets the knives of the aseassins, cuts the moat of the wounds of the hospital, makee necessary most of the almahonees, opuses the most of the ravings of the insane asylutn. and puts ua most of the iron bars of the penitentiaries. It has its hand to -day on the throat of 'the Ameri- can republio. It it the taskmaster of nations, and the human race crouches under its anathema. The song of the drunkards has for its accompaniment the Oink of chains, the chattertne teeth of poverty, the rattle' of executioner's scaffold, the creaking door of the deserted home, the oraeh of sitipwrecke and the groans of empires. The two billion twenty =Mien dollars which rum costs this country ha a year, in the destruction of grain aud eugar and the supporting a thehaaupers, and' the alvalids and the orlininals which strong drink oriusee, is only a small part of what is paid for this expensive song of the drunkards. It Is a Song of the Multitude. Again, this song of the drunkards is a bis wondroas career for God and ri .eousness. But the grogshops and places of dissipation rang with _merri- ment at the temporary downfall. All the grogshops and wine cellars of America took up with nevi valve and new gusto and new enthusiasxn and new diabolism the song' of the drunkards. Effect of a Song. There loonies up in my memory one of the best and noblest friends I ever had. He bad been for 80 years a consistent membee of the church. I knew not that at about 21 years of age he had followed the ilea and habit of inebriacy bad been fixed upon him. But converted to God - he began a new life. Yet it was a 80 years' war againet the old appetite, but about this struggle I kneve nothing until he was deed. While absent during my summer vacation I received a tele- gram announcing his death and taking • me to come and officiate at his obsequies. I arrived at the moment the service was to begin, and had not much time to make inquiries about his last hours. In my remarks, without any limitations, I extolled his virtues While living and spoke of the heavenly raptures into • which he had entered that he had died of delirium tremens in dint, not a queetet, not a sextet, but the hospitaa because; he was so violent millions on millione aro this hour sing- ing it.

But in the street its one man, in deep, strong, resonant 01 voice, started, to the tune of "Old al Hundred," "Praise God, from whom all ng blessings flown' and soon all up and ng down the street the voices joined in the ge doxology. May God speed the day when as the song of rescue and salvation shall of drown with an overwbelming surge this mighty song 'of the drunkards! A Suggestive Song: 9i I Again, the song of the drunkards is a suggestive song.: 'You hear a nursery . e'l refrain, and right away you think of of. your childhood home, and brothers and I'd; slaters with whom you played, and IT mother, long since gone to rest. You °I heir a national air, and you think of the he encampment -of 1863, and the still night 1 a a rn ol ot NU th re st sh th 00 of at pa if ge dr th au in hi th Pl vi no th in No fle lon sal wi she ent hn thy an sba tha mis in ard Abi to s the whe sha the cam and hea san caro into with tryi Oh, old atm Laoe the Pan ing at 0 don 2111 eail donb toxic It w when bang heart tains with and the t BO gr to we cloak it kn the si made this o joine Ag an ex ether tains per ni enusic Means 'they n enchal sounds sing w the an but t drunk It cost d shookaheir reflections up sand down the d faces 'of the reginient. You hear an old church tune, an -d you are reminded ot 8 the revival scenes amid which you were brought to God. Nothing so brings np ?' upon instrtiment, and the drunkard's song is full of suggestion. .As yesu hear ' it on the street quite late some night you begin to say to yourself: "I wonder if he has a mother? Is his with Waiting n for him? Will his children be frightened when he enters the front door and stag - t gers, whooping, up the stairs? What chance is there, for that young man, started so early on the down grade? In r 'what business will be succeed? How e long before thet man will run through n his property? I wonder how he got so far fetch him Cook? He must have got into astray? Can any influence be wielded to bad company who led him off." So you - soliloquize and guess about this man t whose voice you hear on the street under the starlight. , Notice that the second noun of my text la in thei plural. Not "drunkard," but s "drunkardS." It would be dull vvoek to - sing that song solitary and alone. It ie generally a chorus. They are in groups. On that downward way there mutt be companionship. Rare apd there is a man sd mean as always to drink alone, but generous men, hig hearted Then, drinking at bar or in eeetaurant or in clubhouse feel mortified to take the beveiage , unaccompanied. There must be some one with whom to click the rim of the glasses, some one's health to pro- pose; some sentiment to. toast. There' must be two, and still better If four, and still better if six, to give zest to the song ef the drunkards. Those who have gone down could mention the name of at least ime who helped them down. Generally it is some one _who was a little higher up in eocial life or in financial resource& Our friend felt flattered to have an in- vitation hem one of superior narne. Each one drank not only when he felt like it, but when the other felt like it. Neither wanted to seem lacking in sociality wheti he was invited. So 100,000 nien every year are treated into hell. Together are they manacled of evil habit, together they travel toward their, doom, together they make merry over the cowardice or Puritanical sentiment of those who never indulge, together they join their voices in the song of the drunkards. If the one proposee to stop,' the other will not let him stop. Wben men are getting down thersselves, they do hot wa t their glit colieeums and academics of . Some of the people of small ahnost paupe,rized themselves that light sit a few evenings under the itment of those angels of siteet . I paid $7 to hear Jenny Lind hen it was not very easy to afford Very expensive • is such music, he costliest song on earth is the ard's song. It costs ruin of body. s ruin of mind. at costs of p asso- ciates to turn hack. Those who turn back will be the scoff and caricatore of those who keep on, and there will be coneplracy to bring them baok to their old platen and their old environmeht, and so have them renew the song ot the drunkards. There was a tragedy in New York September, 1845. A man of mar- velous natural gifts had, after arriving from bis home in England, fallen into dissipated babits and, being a fine singer as wellas impersonator entertained many barroom group at Newhuryport, Bog- ie:ill and New York, but, ay the grace of God and the kindnees of one Joel Strat- ton, had been rescued and took the plat- form for temperance and moved vast auniences toward a better life. "Destroy him," said some of his old associates, and they set a trap for hig, feet. "How do you do, Mr. Gough?"' said some one on the street of New York. He pretended to be an old acquaintance, and said, "I suppose you are so pious now and have got to be so proud that you will apt deink glass of, gala water with an • medical relief. Scimething there gi hint set on fire his old appetite for str drink, and, ' utterly irresponsible, went from -liquor store to liquor at until, raving maniac, the officer of law bound him and took him to the pital where he died. Some time aft- sdid to the doctor in the hospital, what did he die" And the answer w "Congestion of the brain." sa "Doctor, I want, to know the bott facts, for I was his tpastor, and he one of the best friends I over had. it delirium tremens?" .And the doo ; responded, "Yes." Did I regret that his obsequies I had extolled his virt and speken of the heavenly joys up which he had entered? No. I do think that my friend was ana more sponsible for the mode of his taking than a typhoid fever patient in deliri is responnsible for leaping out of foorth story window. But while we w heartbroken about his going away, think that in the saloons, to those w heard of his membership. of the ohur and the tragedy of his departure, became, as David and the Christ of* text, the song of the drunkards. Easily Le"arned. Again, the song of the drunkards easily leaded. Through what long a an elevated and inspiring singer!: Ern Abbott, among the most eminent can trams that ever enchanted academies musio, told me on ocean ship's deck, answer to my question, "Whither a you bound!" "I am go;ng to Berlin a Paris to study music." "What!" I sai ".After all your world renowned suoceses in music, goiog to study?" Then she told me through what hard- ships, through what self deniaist through /abet almost killing fattgues, she had gone in. order to be a singer, and that when in her earlier days a great teacher of music had told her there were certain,' notes she could never reach, she said, "I will reach them," and throngh doing nething else but practice for five years she did reach them. Oh, how many heroes and heroines of musical achieve- ment! There are songs which are easy to hear, but most dilfficult to render. When Handel, with a new oratorioft entered a room where a group of mut sioians had assembled and said, "Gentle- men, you all read mugic?" They._ said, said the great composer, "Play this." But the performance was so poorly done Handel stepped his ears and said: "You play in church Very well, for we read the Lord Is long suffering, of great kind- ness, and forgiving of iniquity, trans- gression and sin. But you shall not play for me." Pure music, whether fingered' on instrument or trilled from human lips, is :most difficult. But one of the easiest songs to learn is the song of the drunkards. Anybody can learn it. In a little while you can touch the highest note of conviviality or the lewest note of besottedness. Begin moderately, a sip hero and a sip there. Begin with claret,. go on with ale and wind up With cognac. First take the stimulant at a wedding, then take it at meals, then take it be- tween meals, then all the time keep your pulse under its stealthy touch. In six months the dullest scholar in this Apollyonic MUSIC Mar bevome an expert. First it will be sounded in a hiccough.
