Bill Nye on Drunkardi.
In the matter of temperance,
antes Bill Nye, to the San Fran¬
cisco Ingleside, 1 may aay that
no one would pick me out a* a
radical on either side of thequea
lion. It is inv doctrine (hat the
evil of iiiieiiipeiance will wm k
its own destruction when t h e
propei time comes. We may gel
pretty weary waiting for the day
of our emancipation, but it is cer
lainly unwise to make the cause
of temperance obnoxious by feed
ing it to the people day-tiaies,
and then waking them up in tne
night to ask them if (hey have
violated their solemn obligation.
You may couviuce a reasonable
human being, but you cau not
taach him a great truth by paint¬
ing it on board fences in the civi¬
lized world, and then running
them into these board fences til)
you have smashed his nose sev¬
eral times, and taught him to de¬
spise both you and the cause you
represent.
The above solemn chunk of
philosophy was written for me by
a warm, personal friend, who told
me (hat when I got tired ot writ¬
ing mere froth and foam and
foolishness for the amusement of
a sorrowing world, and wished to
put together a few sentences of
sense (o surprise the public with,
lie would be tickled to death to
come around after offi :e hours
and write me a f«w without
charge.
But it is not on the subject of
temperance itself that I started
to speak. I desire to propound to
the reader* of the lugleside a
esnundrutn or query. It ia this;
Why is it when a man becomes
JzulU.- MPhs^ lioHcrlly ine
TBniicd, mi mil! otssljf
will start pul at once with what
remaining strength he may have
to hunt me up and converse with
me till his lower jaw gets loose
and falls on the ground with a
bickemng thud f
Ia it because 1 am good-natur¬
ed and show unusually conversa¬
tional peowers, or fs it because
the idea of hunting me up and
associating with me does not oc¬
cur to a man until lie is very,very
drunk f
However this may be, it is in¬
deed a chilly day when 1 do not
spend an hour or two in conver¬
sation with a man who is uproar¬
iously drunk, sleepy drunk, con¬
fidentially drunk, tearfully
drunk, affectionately drunk, in
coherently drunk,maudlin drunk,
musically drunk, sorrowfully
drunk, abusively drunk, politic¬
ally drunk, oratoricalfy drunk,
disorderly drunk, peacefully
drunk, ornamentally drunk or
simply drunk.
IJe may b# in a neighboring
State when the wild, ungoverna¬
ble desire comes over him to pul
something in his mouth which
will ultimately steal away his
brains, unless be has taken the
precaution to have them conceal¬
ed about bis person, bat in the
first stage of his inebriety lie gets
a ticket to where I am, and then
he goes on with the debauch.
H i generally finds me last, and
he sails up to where I am and be¬
gins to converse. It seems to me
now that a gieat deal of my time
i* taken up conversing with par
ties who meet me on the streets,
or at stations, or in hotels, and
then talk with tue several hours
•t a time while under the inffu
•nee of intoxicating liquor.
1 presume 1.500 men have held
me by the hand and sworn that
everything they had was at my
service. Money, clothes, houses,
jewelry or anything else they
had was none too good for me.
Then they would wring my hand
again and start to go away, but
ttoey would always return and
talk totns more,and when I would
swoon and fall over they would
fjluctantly go away. When I
ventured to remind them next

The Hammer.
The hammer is the universal
emblem of mechanics. Willi i>
are alike forged (he sword ol con
teniioii. and the plowshare pi
peaceful agriculture, the press ol
the free, and (lie shackle ol the
slave. The eloquence of the io
rum has moved the armies ol
Greece and Korns to a thousand
battle-fields, but the eloquence
of the hammer has covered those
field with victory or detest. The
inspiration ol song lias kindled
up high hopes and noble aspira¬
tions in the bosoms ot brave
knights and gentle dames, but
the inspiration ol ths hammer has
strewn the field with (uttered
helm and shield, decided not only
the file of chivalric combat, but
the fate of throues, crowns and
kingdoms. The iorging of thun¬
derbolts was ascribed by the
Greeks as tho highest act of
Jove’s niuuipplence, and Uieir
mythology beautifully ascribes
to one of ths gods the task jl
presiding at the labors of the
lorge.
In ancient warfare the hammer
was a powerful weapon,independ¬
ent ol the blade which it formed.
Many a stout skull was broken
through the cap and helm by a
blow ot Vulcan’s weapon. The
armies of the crescent would
have subdued Europe to the
sway «*ay of ot Mohammed, Monammeu, nut but outlie o
lir,> * ^ lUeit p»«|wn
was arrested, and the brave and
simple warrior who saved Christ
endom Iron* the sway ol the
Mussulman was named Martel—
‘‘the hammer.” Jlow simple,how
appropriate, how grand—“the
hammer.” The hammer is (he
savior and bulwark of Christen¬
dom. The hammer is the wealth
of nation*. By it aie forged tin
ponderous engine and Hie tiny
needle. It is an instrument ol
the savage and the civilized, its
merry clink points out the abode
of industry—it is a domestic deiiy,
presiding over the grandeur ol
the most wealthy and ambitious,
as well as the humble and im¬
poverished. Not a stick is shaped,
not a house is reared, a slop
floats, or carriage rolls, a wheel
spins, or sngine moves, a ortB
speaks, a viol sings, a spade
delves, or a flag wave.*, without
the hammer. Without the ham¬
mer civilization would be un¬
known, and the human species
only as defenseless brutes, but in
skillful hands, directed by wis¬
dom, it is an instrument ot pow**r,
ol grateness, and true glory.—Ex
