LOVING HANDS.
BY EMMA CLARK WHITNEY.
O’er my temples, kindly smoothing
All the aching from my brow,
.-'(/ft hands ate gently soothing
As only loving ones ktiO Ag how.
Like cooling drops ot summer rain
Fingers fall upon my hair,
Resting the active, weary brain,
Freeing it from thought- of care.
Let their touch ot sweet compassion
O’er my forehead mildly press,
And my check so cold and ashen
Feel again their fond caress.
Loving hands, to us they render
Sweetest services in life,
Quid ug us with touches tender
From tlie ways of sin and strife.
S*;ron£ Drink.
The following article was read
to the Lodge of Good Templars in
Gainesville, some lime ago, and
was published in lhe Eagle, as
requested by the body. It is by
W. C Hand, and originally ap
peared in ihe Greensboro Her
ald :
The history of slong drink i?
the history of ruin, of blood and
of tears. It is, perhaps, the great
est crime that has ever scourged
the earth. It is one of depravity’s
worst fruits —a giant demon of
destruction. Men may talk of
earthquakes, storms, floods, con
figurations,! am ine.;peslilence,des
potism and rum? but in tern per
ance in Ihe use of intoxicating
drink, has sent a volume <d mis
ery and woe into the stream of
the world’s history more fearful
and terrific than all the rest be
sides. It is the Mississippi and
Amazon among the rivers ol
wretchedness Ii is the Alexan
der and Napoleon among the
warriors upon the peace and good
of man. It is like the pale horse
of the Apocalypse, whose ruler is
death, and at whose heels follow
hell destruction, il is an evil
which is limited to no age, no
continent, no nation, party, sex
or period ol life, it has taken
the poor man at his toil, and the
rich man at his desk, the senator
in the halls of Slate and the drav
man on ihe street; the young
man ra Ins festivities, and the old
man in his repose} the priest at
the allar, and the layman in his
pew, and plunged them into a
common ruin. It has raged equal
ly in times of war and in times
of peace; in periods of depres
sion and inperiods of prosperity !
in republics and monarches,
among the civilized and among
the savage.
Since the time that, Noah came
out of the Ark and planted vine
yards, and drank of their wine, we
read all histories of its terrible
doings, and never once lose sight
of its black and bloody track.
States have recorded enactments
against it,ecclesiastical penalties
have been imposed upon it; soci
eties have succeeded societies tor
its extermination, but, like him
whose name was legion, no man
has been able to bind it.
For these four thousand years
it has been raging over the world,
destroying some of virtue's fair
est flowers, and some of wisdom’s
richest fruitage. It was this that
brought the original curse of
servitude upon 11am —that eaten
away the strength of empire, that
has wasted tlie energies c! Stales,
blotted out the names of families
and crowded Hell with tenants.
Egypt, the sour of ce science;Bab
ylon, the glory and wonder of the
world ; Greece, the home learn
ing and of liberty, Rome with
her Cmsars, the mistress of the
world, each in turn had its heart
lacerated by this dreadful cank
er worm, and became an easy
prey to the destroyer.
It has drained tears enough io
make a .-.ea , expended treasures j
enough to exhaust G<>leonda;shed j
blood enough to redden the waves j
of everv oceadn, an wrung out i
wailings enough, to make a chorus i
to the lamentations of the under i
?
world-
Some of Ihe mightiest intel (
ificls sfltin the most generous na j
lures, some o f the happiest
homes, some of the noblest spec
imens of man, it has blighted
and crushed, and buried in squa!
id wretchedness. It lias supplied
every jail and penitentiary, and
alms-house and charity hospilal
in the world with inmates. I 1
has sent forth beggai’3 on every
street, and flooded every city
with beastiality and crime, and
it has perhaps done more towards
bringing earth and hell together
than any other form of vice.
This is lamentable picture, but I
alas! a true one. Such are the
dreadful fruits ol the use of in
toxicating drink. Verily, it is an
emissary of tlie Devil, a destroy
er of peace, a worker of ruin, and
an instrument or' damnation. It
is a running ulcer, an eating can
cer, a consumig fever, and a wast
ing cosumption. It is the precur
sor of want and disease. It is
the father of prisons and asylum®,
Il blights the hopes and blasts
Ihe prospects of happy wives and
g'ad-hearled children
Now, for any man, in any way.
to give his sanction and endorse
ment fo such a dreadful vice, is
a sin, and one which is enhanced
in proportion to the official or so
ciai importance and dignity of
him who does it. it is a sin for
any man to drink to intoxication,
no matter when or where, it is a
guilty immaning of himself; but
it is a special and greater sin for
one in high position or much con
cerned in giving lone to public
opinion.
But do I hear someone say,
there is no danger to me in in
i diligence ? Point me to a drunk
| aid who did not once sav the
| same thing. Do you possess
j friends* character, wealth, talent,
I virtue? So did thousands who
are now level with the dud. The
s enemy with whom you deal
i spares no age, sex or condition
i He attacks with equal courage
' tlie poor ami the rich, the yirtu
| ous and liic Vicious, the learned
I and the ignorant. The tyrant is
j inexorable. lie is restrained
| from hts prey by no entreaty, by
[ no cry of the wife or the mother.
: Lie seizes the husband, the fath
er, the son, and the daughter.
I No elevation of rank, no useful
! ness of station deters him. He
| prostrates the eloquent orator,
] tlie able statesman, the invinci
i b!e patriot, the undaunted hero,
j and he marches with a fearless
! front to the very altar, and drags
i ids victim from beneath the very
Cherubim of the temple. Is
there no danger t Ask ahe miser
able victim upon whom the jaws
of fhe monster are immovably
clenched, he will point to his
1 rags, to wan and haggard count
j nance, to his emaciated wife and
[ starving children ; he will tell
| you that once he was rich and
; respected and happy ; once his
| dwelling was the seat of plenty
j and love and joy. Now lie is a
pauper and so wretched and
ghastly and appalling that even
the dogs of the streets bark at
him as if in scorn. And he will
tell you that whiskey has done it
all
Let me say, then, to the drunk
ard— stob ! In your downward
course there is nothing but ruin,
certain, inevitable, present, fu
ture and everlasting. Yo u r
state now differs from that of the
inhabitants of the burning lake
in this, for them there is no hepe
—for you there is. Then stcM
Your reformation will be hailed
by our friends as a resurrection
from the dead. Do you ask me '
how this can be done? I answer,
your abstinence Iroin the cup
must b” sudden, total and for
ever. No gradual, partial, tem
porary, abstinence will do. Re
solve not for a month, a year, but
forever. Swear to abstain from
everything that intoxicates as
long as eternity snail endure, oi
the throne of God shall stand
And I urge you to this, bv (lit
recollection of the wees yog have
endured. Look to yourselves,
ragged and filthy a; 1 despised,
to your wives withered and sick
l.v and dying, to Von: children
fatherless, for their father is a!
drunkard. Recollect the ago-i
tries you have endured to arrive |
at this state of complicated
wretchedness, and let me per
suade vou to travel the down 1
ward road no further. Make ar
sudden, a full pause. By doing
this, you will become once more!
respected and happy ; you will |
redeem yourselves and your fam
ilies from a drunkard’s name,and :
oh! you will escape the drunk- i
aid's death.
Now, my candid reader, if sue!’, j
arc in reality the evils done to;
society by liquor drinking, I ask j
what is the duty of society in ref- i
ereu.ee toil? Jn its own defense:
should it not declare and regard |
every intemperate drinker of in
toxicating liquors a social outlaw
as beyound its pales? Should j
not society withdraw itself from!
every man who thus presumes to
sin against it ?—Should it toler.d
him who is warning against its
very existence ? Should the pure
and chaste young lady as® mate \
with him who reels in drunken
ness and wallows in shame ?
; Shall the impressible voufh keep j
■ the company of him who belongs |
I to a class that lias done the ini'
1 man race more injury than a
; hundred other evils combined
j Lei the humanity of man aimer,
no. Society cannot inflict phys
ical pains and penalties on the
drinker, hut :t can and ought to
withdraw from every one who
idr nks to intemperance. And it
! ought to ex -it its utmost influ
; encc to reclaim from danger all
j who ore exposed.
Oh! people of this land wake
i tip ! and expel this evil! and se
cure your children from danger!
Purify this land of this engine of
crime and of death, this Bohon-
Upas of the moral world, and il
will become a garden of Eden fit
for the Pamlise of God.

Pantaloons are emphatically
•tight and are perfect,, devoid
of spring. They must be cut
short, not only because they look
, better, but because it is so de
creed by popular demand. They

! cut to sharply define the position
[of knee; this gives both the
i thigh and the calf an appearance
| of roundness, which is consider
ed the correct thing. They are
generally finished with a small
welt.
Sacks will be worn somewhat
longer and wiil generally be
slightly cut away and weli round
ed at bottom. They trill close
high on tlie cuest, with lapel and
collar of medium width. The
backs are ant about one-third of
breast in width at bottom, and
are slightly curved. The back
seve is wide, placing side seam
well down. They are made
quite shapely, but the tinder
seam is generally omitted by fine
trades. The flaps are narrow and
the buttons are placed near the
edges.

Yosts are made short and quite
straight across the bottom. The
corners are generally just round
ed, but may be slightly c;it away
Tlie lower button is close to the
bottom, and there are generally
six buttons used. A piain roil
ing collar is becoming popular,
but one handsomely notched is
quite correct. The leading form
however, wiil be without a collar.
All vests should have two cifi

houses place a small pocket
above the breast pockets on the
lelt side for eye glasses, if the
customer wears them.

MUSIC ON THE FARM,
| It han been said, and justly,'
! too, that the great objection to
j life on a farm is the isolation
which it entails. After the labors
! of the day are over, me evening
seems dull, when the shades of
night hover over tin- bread acres,
and there is no frier. :iy neighbor
near enugh to step into discuss
the meager gossip of the day that
j comes from tire great world after.
; Then is that a piano, nr a simple
parlor organ, is a wonder: it! treas
ure. If the wife or the daughter
can play, even if ever so simple
the music, hew the household is
enlivened. Perhaps a simple
. by in .-tune can be sung, only re
quiring a few chords for accompa
niment, several voices ]oiniag in
; the singing. How the i: ed ones
: become rested by such .. diver
' sion from the dull round of care
and toil. Music fulfills u 3 mis
j sion? in such a family more com
pletely than in many a lofty eon
| cert hall. Crude music! did you
say ? Well, perhaps so, when
viewed in the light of criticism,
|or of strict science. But its real
' power is there —its power to ele
\ vate, cheer and refine. — M'usi-\-
