It cer- tainly has a tendency to make the breath stronger, Belva Lockwood says she is the mother of the Prohibition party —and we guess she didn't bring it up on the bottle. There is one barroom in New York, the decoration and furni- ture of which cost $200,000. There aro several of them that are fitted up at an expense of over $50,000 each. The Tato Mr Bright's drink was always -milk, concerning which a Tweedisher once remarked to, Mr Bright : "Yell hao too tak' a gey pickle o' that stuff before it mak's ye see double.” One head of a public school said he could always tell' when a boy commenced to use tobacco. by the record of his recitations. Prof' Oliver, of the Annapolis Academy, said he could indicate the boy who used tobacco by his absolute in- ability to draw a clean straight line. Some one takes the trouble to compare figures of Great Britain's liquor bill. The amount per head of the population is £3 7s.; its amount per average family £16' 5s.; its weight in sovereigns, 976 tons; its acreage, sovereigns -laid edge to edge, fifteen acres; its length, sovereigns laid face to face, 1152 miles; its time to count, one sovereign per count, four years; its amount, per each letter of the Bible, £q4 '18s. 6d. Col. F. H. Hawes, well known along the Missouri river for years as a convivial and hail -follow -well - mot sort of a man, burned his bowels out with bad whisky until life became a torture to him, so the other day ho went to his room and' took a comcdious revolver and blew his brains out. Before committing the act he wrote an ante-mortem statement which should be published as a tract for the guidance and profit of young men who are in the habit of hav- ing bartenders prescribe for them. The following extract from the dead mans farewell message preaches a whole sermon in itself "One more victim for the devil that 'never lots loose. Once in his grip no human agency can save you. All sense of honor, family pride, duty to the loved and dependent, the agony of a de- voted wife, the finger of scorn, 'nothing on earth can save a man, once in the clutches of the liquor ' habit. His doom is set and sealed, no pride in his past, no home in his future, he sinks at last into the bleak and bitter gulf of utter dispair." Before taking your dose of medicine this morning cut, out the above and past it on your breath.—Nebraska State Journal. A'Bill has just been introduced in the, .Kentucky Legislature which among other things pro- hibits and makes void marriage with a drunkard. Thirty scholars in two schools Vancouver, W. T., have signed a pledge to abstain from intox- icants and tobacco until they are 21 years of age. Arthur D,Cochrano, of the New York Witness, is pushing the agi- tation for an anti -tobacco law, prohibiting the sale of tobacco to minors under 15. Bishop Vin- cent says: "I heartily endorse the idea of a law which will pro- hibit the sale of tobacco to minors under 15. The evils of the tobacco habit only begin ro be felt .long after they have become incurable .and' the mischief is already accom- plished. Difficult as it may be to break the chains of the inebri- ate or of the opium eater, those which pinion the confirmed smok- er aro capable of infinitely groat- er resistance.—Chicago Herald: Tho great Doctor Guthrie long followed the custom of most of the Scotch ministers in his day— taking a glass of wino. But there was a poor, ignorant driver, who was vviso enough to prefer total abstinence. And one day the , doctor rode in his' cab, or wagon, over a wild part of the country in; a pouring raid. When an inn was. reached the doctor took tome. whisky in a glass to keep off the cold and offered some to the ca'h- man. "No, i thank you sjr; I'tn a teetotaler." A very simple answer ; not a word of argument, only example. I don't suppose he over knew that his.. refusal did any good. But the4leat•tied,'elo- quent doctor remeiitbered it. Soon after, when lie was called -to Ed- inburg, and went reund among his poor,,parislydoners, he fottfxf rum was the cause of much pov- erty. He could not say anything to them while he took his glass, 1y'and ho thought of the course 'of the poor cabman.

No man can pass into eternity, for he is already there. A crowd always thinks with its sympathy, never with its reason. I am taught never to be disap— pointed, but to praise.— [Bishop Hanning. We cannot control the evil tongues of others, but a good life onabl3s us to despise them. Education dons not mean teach- ing people to know what they do not know; it means teaching them to behave as they do not behave. TheLaw is'give.n that' wo may be driven to the Gospel; the Gos-, per is given that wo may the able to obey the Law, The oldest book in the world is the freshest book in the world. The Bible never weals out because its truths wear so well. What we do for ours while we have them will render their memo- ry sweet to tho heart when we no longer have them. Love,, the true love of God, is the love of his truth, of his whole will; the truelove is that which reflects' itself in obedience; the true love is that wnich stirs and purifies the_conscicnce, While men believe in the possi- bilities of children being religious, - they are largely failing to make them so, because they aro offering them not a child's but a man's re- ligion, men's forms of truth and men's forms of experieItce. For your own sake, let your thought rise. Bid it, force it, to rise. Think of the face of Jesus, of your future home in heaven, of the loved ones gone before you. In such thoughts,to Bach thoughts, Jesus will assuredly and increas ingly reveal himself. There is the same love in the law as in the Gospel, the differ- ence is only in expression, as when I warn one against venturing in- to the roaring flood;-anthvhen; ori 'his leaping madly in, I follow to save him. It the Law .love warns, in the Cross it redeems. Both ore; as I undertake to' show, the true mirror of him who thus def.nes his own character—"Ged is love."' A WOMAN'S SWEET WILL.

The lad came rather slowly- for one of that lively guild., and before ho 'could get his brushes out, another larger boy ruts up, and pushed him aside, -saying, 'Hero you ge sot down, Jimmy!' The gentle- man was indignant at what. he deemed a piece of outrageous 'bullying, and 'sharply told • the now -copier to clear out. torr, that's all right, boss; was, the reply, 'I'm only goi.n' to do it - fur hien ; you see, he's been sink in the hospital for mor'n a month, and carat do much ,ivork yet, so us•..boys all turn in and give him a lift 'when wo ran.'

R.S.E., Ordinary Physician for M., the queen, in Scotland, Pro- fessor of Practice of Physic in the U ritrersity„of Edinburgh, writes: ' Tho arteries are sclerosed and athoromtitpus in the advanced stages of the inflammatory and, in the cirrhotic but not so small in the li axy disease. In that affec- tion• the small vessels in other parts are frequently the seat of yvaxy• degeneration. ' From this it t1 ill'bo seen that in the three fiiigns of kidney disease classed as Bright's disease, the arteries suf- for changes, and it matters not whether they undergo sclerotic, atheromatous or waxy change, they are so weakened as to en- danger rapture under any in- creased. pressure. This explains the frequency of apoplexy and paralysis, and as clearly demon- strated that the, only preventive of those disastro?i ruptures of the blood is the timely use of Warn- er's Safe Curo to keep the kidneys in a healthy condition.
