The matron told' the mother iu, clear from debt, they having that the child acted constantly its if saved the money by cutting off choir he wanted something. The mother said it must be homesick, but it kept on crying for five days. The mat• roti finally asked the mother if she (onld net think of something that she had been in the habit of giving to the child which it did not have now. The mother at last said :— 'I don't know what it can be unless don't feed it is beer.' 'Why, you that child on beer ?"Oh, yes, it always takes beer with the father and me.' We allowed the child to be brought to the nursery on the condition that we should wean it from beer. The result we accom- plished in six weeks, and the father aitd'mother saw that the child was much better, in looks, health and disposition, that they gave up drink- ing beer themselves, Another fact about this beer drinking ie that it leads to whiskey drinking. To YOUNG MF.N.—I should have been in my grave twenty or thirty years ago if I had not quit drinking intoxicating liquors, as 1 did in 1847. I had contracted the habit ; had built up a blind, unnatural ap• petite for strongdrinks, and liked the taste of every kind of liquor— though I suspect I liked the effects still better. I began to grow care- less and slothful in "business," and put off till next week what I ought to have done to -day. Fortunately I discovered that the habit was de- stroying my health and my worldly prospects, and by a most determined will power I conquered the power- ful appetite which I had acquired for intoxicants and broke it forever. I knew that habit was second nature and that the unnatural appetite for strong drinks was stronger than nature itself, for every glass of li- quor drank increased the desire for another glass, and so on ad Iibitum, and therefore to have conquered such a fearful habit was the saving of my life, and all that was worth living for. When I found myself :secure from falling back into the •whirlpool of intoxicants, I felt as a shipwrecked person must feel when his life is barely saved by the Life• bout, when many of his fellow pas- sengers were still struggling in the wavee, Being saved himself, ho is excitedly anxious to save others. I felt so overjoyed at being snatched from a habit which wag surely .drag- ging me down to misery and death, that 1 found my 'greatoet pleasure consisted, in circulating the temper- ance pledge, giving Temperance lec- tures free of charge all over the country, and using every effort In my power to enlighten publio senti- ment in regard to the fearful delus- ion of strong drink. 1 particularly urged young menand young women as I now'do, to start right in life to avoid this greatest evil in the land, because itis the parent of nearly every other evil known, and is sure to utterly destroy nine -tenths of those who form the drinking habit. I begged them to touch not a single drop, because like opium, morphine and other narcotics the drinking of liquor calla for more, more, and more to produce the same effect that a little produced at first, and thus an artificial and unnatural appetite was created that proved irreeistible in a great mejerity of cases. I rum and tobacco expeueea, and earned more money by their renew ed energy, 'strength and ambition. There is not one redoeming quality in the liquor drinking habit. It dons uo possible good, and itinflicts all manner of evil on its victim. his family and friends. It is the most degradiug, poverty breeding and ut- terly destructive infatuation that ever paralyzed the hopes', mimforls and °haractera of the people of this otherwise bleseed America. P. T. BARNUM.

AN OCEAN hTEA+MElt'S PANTRY. Wo have been inclined to think that there was a great deal of ex- aggeration in the reports of the amount of provisions required for a round trip of one of the great ocean steamers. It is positively staked, however, by a trustworthy author- ity, that in August last for a single passage to the westward one of the most noted steamers with 547 cabin passengers and a crew of 287 per- sons, had when leaving Liverpool the following quantities of Drovis- ione :-12,500 pounds froeh beef, 760 pounds corned beef, 5,020 pounds mutton, 850 pounds lamb, 860 pounds of veal, 860 pounds of pork, 2,000 pounds of fresh fish, 600 fowls, 800 chickens, 100 ducks, 50 geese, 80 turkeys, 200 braes grouse, 15 tons potatoes, 80 Kamp• era vegetablee, 220 quarts ice Dream, 1,000 quarts milk and 11,500 eggs. In groceries alone there were over 200 different articles, including (for the round voyage of 22 dye) 650 pounds tea, 1,200 pounds coffee, 1,000 pounds white sugar, 2,800 estesier-itl Newt.. Wapwallopen is the sweet, idyllic name of a Pennsylvania village. Austria and the Centrist p were do not approve of France's refueal to assent to the Egyptian Conven- tion. The Auetriau Govern,neut has proposed to Germauy that negotia- tions be opened for a new treaty of commerce. I1 is said that in Portland, Mo., there is a man with a false nose, a glaes•eye, but three fingers and one thumb, one ear, false teeth, false hair, and a cork leg. For all this he is the liveliest man in Portland. He walks ten tuilee every day, rain or chine. He has had three wives, and survives them all, and his re- fused five chances to get married again, so ho says, since he buried his last wife, about a year ago. A. new use for the tobacco plant has been &louvered. Its stems and waste, it is claimed, are equal to linen rage in the manufacture of paper. Tobacco waste poets loos than .£2 a ton, linen rags £11. There is no expense in assorting the former, and vary little ehriukage, at against a loss of one-third of rags. The yearly tobacco waste is estimat- ed by the census reports et from 5,000,000 to 4,000,000 pounds. There is something very serious about funny men. Robert J. Bur- dette has become a Baptist deacon. Sam Small left his puns and be• came an 'evangelist.' Montgomery Bailey, the Danbury News man, is a Sunday school superintendent. Mark Twain passes the contribution box in Hartford (but they keep an eye on him). Eugene Field, of the Chicago News, refuses to lead at the Thursday evening meeting, but ho is understood to be deeply relig. ions. The funniest men on the American press have oast an anchor to windward. A cablegram from Bombay an- nounoee that the southwest monsoon burst on Monday. Tins ocourronoe marks the beginning of summer iu earnest over India. As all the agricultural interests of India de• penduponthe rain•bearing monsoon he arrival in force is, of course, re• gardod as so event of national ins portanoe. The date of the bursting of the southwest monsoon has very much to clo with the yield of the Indian crops. The dry monsoon begins to break up in March, and usually by the middle of May the summer monsoon has acquired its full force in the Indian Ocean, and the hoayiost rainfalls occur soon after. The average time for the monsoon to burst over Bombay and the Westorn Ghats is in the first week of June. It is therefore not behind time this year, and the pree- ont agricultural prospects of India, so far as they depend on the sea- son and eau be inferred from the cablegram, may be considered good.
