6 WHAT I LIVE TOR. Dr. Guthrie n»ed to say that there wee more religion, good eenee end ■oetry in the following than In all •Cher similar effort! be had ever iMd: I live for three who love me, For those I know are tine, For the heaven that smiles above me, And awaits my spirit, too; For all human ilea that bind me, For the task my God aeelgned me, For the bright hows left behind me. And the good that I can do. I live to leant their story, Wbo've suffered for my sake, To emulate their glory, And follow in their wake; Bards, martyrs, patriots, sages, The noble of all ages, Whose deeds crown history's pages, And time’s great volume make. I live to hall that season By gifted minds foretold, When men shad live by reason. And not alone for gold. When man to man united, And every wrong thing righted, TTte whole world shall be lighted, As Eden was of old. I live to hold communion, With all that is divine, To feel that there la union •Twlxt nature s heat tend mine; To profit by affliction. Reap truth from Helds of lictlon, Grow wiser from conviction— Fulfilling God’s detign. I live for those that love me, For those that know me true, For the heaven that smiles above me, And awaits my spirit, too: For the wrongs that need resistance. For the cause that needs aasistr. nee, For the future in the distance, And the good that 1 can do. WHY SHENE VERDRANK WINE. “Os course we must have wine. Just think, how per fectly shabby it would look 1” The remark was made by a beautiful girl as she danced out of the conservatory with a spray of pink blossoms in her hand. “It is my first party, and I want every thing splendid. And auntie,” turning to a sweet-faced woman, with large, love-gleaming eyes, and an almost alabaster purity of complexion, “you must wear that rose-colored brocade. It is just the rage now, and your hair will trim beautiful-. fy. lam bo glad we are to have plenty of flowers.” Helen Brayton was just from school, ■where she bad been since she was ten years old. Os course, she knew little of life; but her father was a wealthy man, and her d'eam of “every thing splendid” was about to be realized. Aunt Agatha was her mother’s sister, a scholarly wo man, of whom she knew little, save that she was a trifle eccentric, giving away nearly all her income, and never so much as touching wine. Mrs. Brayton leaned back in her lux urious chair, and rested her eyes with a mother’s delight on Helen’s face. “If we have wine, Aunt Agatha cannot come,” was said slowly. “Cannot! Why so?” with a shrug of her pretty shoulders. “She will not be obliged to taste it.” Mrs. Brayton beat her satin-slippered foot against the Persian carpet. It was a question she could not decide. Mr. Brayton had given her carte blanche. He had not time to attend to it, he said. In calling in Agatha she had not thought of wine. With exquisite taste and wonder ful tact in arrangement, her services would be invaluable. All the morning she had been trying to persuade the real ly elegant woman to consider this as an exceptional ease. Not that she herself cared for it; neither did Mr. Brayton; but what would people say ? Mrs.Brayton was not one with the moral courage to oppose Madame Grundy. She could not endure to be called shabby, especially when the money in hand would enable her to be profuse. All the while Helen stood at the back of Aunt Agatha’s chair, talking of the pink and silver brocade. “Nobody will know it was ever worn. I am sure it would never show a seam.’’ A servant entered bearing a silver Walter, and on it a small card. Helen colored, and Mrs. Brayton excused het self, and went down to the parlor. “Do say that you will not mind this time, auntie?” pleaded Helen. “And thus break my promise?” “Did you promise, auntie, never so much as to drink a drop ?” “I promised never so much as to drink a drop, neither would I stand by and see another drink.” “That is going a little too far I think, auntie. If another drinks it will not hurt us.” “I am not so sure,” Returned Aunt Agatha. “Whose card was that Dick brought in?” “Henry Fargo’s,” answered Helen, with a vivid blush. “If Henry Fargo should drink wine to excess, would it not hurt you ?” “O, auntie, he never could!” with a face from which all color had fled. “If I have been rightly informed, one of his brothers died a drunkard,” per sisted Agatha Fleming. “That was Wil). He was always a little wild. Went to San Francisco, spent a good deal, and drank to drown his trouble,” was Helen’s answer. The Fargos lived in the same square. In the vacations Helen had seen a good deal of Henry, and learned through him Os Will’s wanderings; but she did not connect it with wine; the latter was a mere accident. He drank to drown his trouble. The expression of Agatha Fleming’s face grew tender; tears filled her eyes. It was a favorable moment to say to Helen all that was in her heart to say— why she should not touch wine. “You have heard your mother speak of Herbert Wyeburn?” turning her gaze full upon the young girl. “Your old friend, or flame, I don’t know which?” returned Helen, with all her usual vivacity. “Yes.” “My friend, as Henry Fargo is yours. He lived in the same square, and we loved each other with a love that grew stronger as we grew older. Herbert went to college. He was grandly gifted. But he learned to take wine; it made him brilliant. The head of his class, he was likewise the master of oratory. But he could not speak without his glass; then it required more—one, two, three at a time. His manner was no longer the same—at one time wild and capricious, at another time gloomy and morose. I exposiulated. He was angry, and up braided me. The next hour he waa ready THE CHRISTIAN INDEX AND SOUTH-WESTERN BAPTIST: THURSDAY, MARCH 3, 1881. Ko •'TaJZ* > JarScMfip x v£ls- W.

Os course, he would never again give way. Thus it went on until he was ready to establish himself in business, and I was looking forward to becoming a happy bride. One night there was a quarrel, in which Herbert struck a brother-lawyer, atd himself received a fatal stab in re turn. They had been drinking to excess; but when I reached Herbert he was ra tional. Never shall I forget his face as he said, ‘The doctor says I must die. If I had never tasted w ine,Agatha, this would not have been.’ ’’ “They had not told me that the wound was fatal. I buried my face in the pil low and sobbed outright. In that mo merit I would gladly have given my own life could I by that means save Herbert. My agony made him worse, they took me from him, and only permitted me to return when I promised to command myself. When I entered the room Her bert was lying with his eyes shut. As I approached 1 saw that his lips moved, was he praying? I tried to think so, for I had been brought up to think it was a dreadful thing to die without an interest in Christ. As I kneeled by his bedside he put out his hand. “‘I have asked God to make it easy for you, Agatha. You warned me against drink, but I did not see the danger. Now I must die. But you will think of me sometimes and thinking of me, you wi 1 not fail to warn others against wine.’ “I had promised to be calm, and to be calm I tiied to point him to Christ. I cannot tell just how it was, but in death there was a smile on his face, as though at the last he caught the gleam of ce lestial wings. The thief on the cross re ceived assurance, ‘This day shalt thou be with me in paradise.’ I trust it was so with Herbert.” Silence brooded over the room. Helen did not lift her head. Agatha was the first to speak. “Now you know the reason why I do not drink wine, the reason why I do not go where wine is made a temptation to some poor soul who has not the strength to resist it. You will not now expect me to go to your party.” Slowly the brown head was lifted, while through tears Helen answered: “I shall not have wine at my party, Aunt Agatha. It is too dreadful; I can not think of it. Mill Fargo drank wine, and drank to excess. Henry takes a so cial glass. “No,” with more emphasis. “I shall dot have it. It shall never be said that I helped to make a young man a drunkard.” When Mrs. Brayton returned, Helen hastened to explain. “We will not have wine, mother. I could never bold up my head again if I knew that one person was led to drink to excess through my offering him a social glass.” “What I have to say will be unneces sary in this case,” smiled Mrs. Brayton. “I have just seen Henry Fargo. He hopes we will not have wine. Since Will perished miserably as he did, he cannot go where wine is used freely. As this is the first party of the season, he trusts that we will set the example that many, very many, will gladly follow.” “I could never have done it but for Aunt Agatha,” Helen answered, with her old bright look. “Henry Fargo shall never have it to say that I tempted him with wine.” — Christian at Work. Economy in Fuxb.-Dr. C. W. Siemens thinks it about time that the economical use cf fuel should be practiced in our offices and our homes, as well as in large manufacturing establishments 1 He has devised a grate which gives out a fine heat without noxious gases into a room —a grate which is very cleanly and which meets fairly the requirements of economy in construction and use. There is no patent on this grate. An iron dead plate is riveted at right angles to a stout copper plate facing the back of the grate and extending five inches above and below, where the iron plate joins it. The dead plate stops short about an inch ftom the bottom bar of the grate to make room for a half-inch gas pipe which is jtenetrated w'lh small holes arranged zig zag on its upper sutface. This pipe rests on a lower plate bent downward toward the back so as to form a vertical and horizontal channel of about one inch in breadth between the two plates. A trap door in the lower plate below the gaa pipe serves to remove the ashes. The ver tical portion of the channel contains a strip of sheet copper arranged like a frill and riveted to the back. This frill of copper conducts the htat from the back and sets up a current of air in the chan nel, and this air forces the small gas-jets of the perforated pipe to burn brightly. Instead of the pumice stone, the front of the grate is filled with coke or anthracite to wh’ch the heat of the gas-jetsis trans ferred. Dr. Siemens says that he holds it almost baibarcus to use raw coal for any purjose end that the time will come when ail our'uel will be separated into its two constituents before teaching our factories or dcmestic hearths.

He grew in spirituality and zeal front the lime of bis conversion Uli his entrance upon the heavenly life Hewas one of the originators of the boys’ prayer meeting, which for a long time was so attrac tive Hint the little room was often filled, while young hearts oveiflowed with love, and several precious souls were brought to Christ. At the proper time he entered Mer cer University as a ministerial student, where he secured the love of his associates, and the esteem and confidence of the Facul ty, and met faithfully ail his duties till fall ing health drove him to the qul< t retreat of a Lome among loved ones. He uniformly wore the “ornament of a meek and quiet spirit.” Christ had “need of” him In heaven, and has therefore early called him away, leaving many loving hearts in sadness. His minis try was to be above, rot below. He fulfills it there, ever in the glorious presence of the Master. E. W. W. In Memoriam. Died, in La Fayette, Ala , January 14th. 1881, Mrs. Pattie Holmes, wife of John A. Holmes, Esq ,and daughter of Mrs. Martha Marable, aged 34 years, 10 months and 13 days. In the flower of womanhoed, surrounded by hnsband and children, she was cut down by Death s relentless hand ; from the minis try of loving and tender hands, she passed into the "Valley of the shawow of death," through which ail must go who enter the City of God. How comforting Is the thought that there is a gicrlous light when mortal eyes see only daikness—divine help when human aid can be of no avail; that but a simple trust In Him who bath Himself tasted death, robs this last enemy of all its terrors, and places on the lips of the dying Chilstlun the trium phant song, “O grave where is thy victory, O death where is thy sting.” The writer of these lines had known Mrs Holmes since her childhood, and can but feel that she had an interest in Christ’s salvation, by a living faith in Him as her Savior. To the loved ones left behind, this has been to them already a precious consolation, and it shall grow yet more dear to them as they draw near the shore of eternity. The aged mother has not long to wait; already by faith she sees beyond the river, and only tarries here for the summons of the Father, bidding her come home to loved ones gone before May all who mourn for Pattie meet her in heaven. n. “I am directed by my uncle, Hon.
