Why Parents Should Co-operate with j
the Superintendents of the Cold Wa- !
ter Temples?
T > .secure re..alt .in carrying on rc-
■ and iinpixi>cinents in society,
< ipcrntion is essential to success.
I lie liunil'i st can effect in concert,
v, I: th<'highest could not singly. In
t the youth of our country to
’[ •'oper.inee, in the face of so ninny
t ~ stations that beset them nt every
i:■ is no small task. Fathers and
. hers we want your aid in t his work
\ ou can gre '.tly facilitate the arduous
; ~-k if you will.
l'.» you want your child, your dar
ling boy. to die a drunkard? No.
Tn assist us in guarding him from
th mares of the drunkard maker, laid
. '..gi piously to entrap him.
W hen you are asked if you favor
your fair haired boy joining tke Cold
W iter band, see to it that you don’t
answer ns some have done, that there
i- wo nse in one so young taking n
tv!"4»vnin<*e pledge. Is that child too
y uig to taste his father's toddy to
dty ? Remember it is tin* first taste
ti t makes the drunkard. If the
cl. 11 is not too young to do wrong, is
he txv young to be taught to do right ?
The object of the Cold 'Water Tem- j
pies is to train the youth of our land
to abhor tke use and traffic in intoxi
cating drinks. Let your children join;
go yourselves and encourage them;
train them at home to behave well at
the meetings. The Superintendent
takes great pains to instruct the chil
dren, and to make the meeting agree
able to all. If the parents of the
land will do their duty in assistinh in
training the youth to temperanc', ti e i
the greatest curse known to the human
family is doome I. Think of this pa
rent and do not cast it idly aside, but ,
come forward and help this movement ;
as God has given you strength; your
reward is in your own hands and by
: trying to save other children you will i
! have the satisfaction of seeing your '
own grow up to temperance and chris- i
tian men and women.

AVg.j'iiy Chief Templap., Ladies and
Gentlemen, Brothers and Sisters of
! this Cold Water Band:—l am a man
lin miniature, and shall be a man if I

I r.in here this afternoon to advocate
the cause of the Temperance move- j
ment and the Cold W ater Temple in
connection therewith. I trust you one
and all will be pleased and instructed
by our exercises of this evening.
Ladies and gentlemen, you will al
low that “preservation is better than
cure,” and that we shall never be .
drunkard’s if we never touch the
drunkards drink. We are, therefore
the hope of the country for coming
' years hence, wo are called hopeful

1 I am a little temperance girl.
Just five vears old;
i •
I wouldn't drink a glass of wine
j If you'd tilled the cup with gold.
I have a little brother.
We belong to the Band of Hope;
I 'spect there’ll be no drunken men
W hen he and I gro w up.
, i For. don’t you see, the hfflr <»r s
> Are going to join the Band,
lAud we'll soon be yr>e.‘ lay temperanee |
y'o/X-A
Oh '. wont that be so grand
When there’s not a drunkard to be
seen ?
For, don’t you think its queer,
Theyf/W thing drunkard's learn to drink
Is the cider, wine, and beer?
And so we belong to the Band of Hope,
And we mean to be good and ;
And all the little boys and girls
We shall ask to join us too.

The stoiy comes from San Francisco that
an oil resident of that city is possessed of a
devil which renders his lilie a terror from
constant fear of a violent death. He never
allows hiii self to be alum for a single mo
ment, and is attended by a servant night
and. He is a wealthy man too, and in
business which Lc tran.-acts regularly in his
counting house. This strange gentleman
is defended from an old French family,
and he says that some generations back the
head of the family entered into a compact
with the Evi! One, under one of his names
wherein the first-burn of the family was to
be the forfeit, and this arrangement is sup
posed to runindefinitely through succeeding
generations. He is a frst born, so were his
father and grandfather, and both these died
suddenly in a mysterious manner, nearing
ilie marks of strangulation. This horribie
bond upon the family has prevented tlx*
gentleman from contracting a marriage and
thereby perpetuating it, an I.with his own
death, however it may occur, he purposes
that the devilish compact shall end.
With reference to the proper treatment
of drunkards, the Deputy Chief of Police
of Boston recommends that, instead of a
fine in the ca<e of persons convicted o
drunkenness, imprisonment for a specified
number of days to be substituted, »hat the
pri-ouer be kept at work during that time
and that the proceeds of such labor be paid
weekly toward the support of his family.
Why not also provide legally for the enqui
quiry as to who so'd the intoxicating liquor
to the convicted inebriate, and sentence the
vendor thereof to at least an equal term of
confinement and labor by the side of his i
drunken victim, and iliu- jive additional
but srill inadequate compensation to the
wronged members of manv an innocent
impoverished family ?”—?»'(/. Temp. J<Z
vocate.
Not right yet, friend Advocate; jthat liq
uor vendor carries a commission from the
representatives of the people, for which he
has paid all the law requires. No doubt,
legislators in cold blood have deliberately
weighed the amount of damage likely to
arise from a given amount of liquor and
charged accordingly, and ’he vendor having
paid their price has a perfect right to do as
lie does. We do not argue from a moral
.’taml-point ; a correct analysis of this ques- ,
tion can only result in fixing the responsi
bility on the people, who in their indiffer
ence to public welfare choose to represent
them a set of moral imbeciles, who, with
appalling recklessne-s, peddle out their in
dulgences so much for a dollar. The law
makers are guilty, and on the people only
should the punishment fall. It is a crime
in the sight of God to cornuA-ion a man to
make drunkards, and then puni.-h either of
Stalling Facts.
Tin: chief of the statistical Bureau at
Washington. Mr. E. S. !<>ung, has given
the temperance reformers some mighty
facts lately.
The government returns of the annual
whisky product* show 2.'0,000,0i1') gallons;
valuation, $375,0<)0,000. Annual product
of fermented liquors, 100,0H0,000. Li
censed liquor stores in lhe country. 100.()()();
value of their annual sales, about $700.1 00
000.
According to the-e figures, we are gul
ping down our throats in harmful liquors,
enough wealth to pay off, in about three
years our immense national debt. If it
were spread upon the ground in one dollar
notes, it would co*.t 20,140 acres* If paid
in gold, a ton of which is worth $ *72,i>
and loaded on wage n -, each currying one
ton, and occupy seven yards, it would re
quire 1,045 wagons, which would form a
procession six miles long. In silver, w »rth
$31,200 a ton. it would require 15.230
wagons, which would require a line st', mil <
long.
To complete the picture, let the wives
and children of drunkards, and the widows
and orphans of those who have died drunk
ards during the past year follow these
wagons in melancholy processions, their
cries of anguish aseemling up to heaven,
and the line would extend thousands o»
miles. Keystone G. T.

The Practical Farmer says: We recently
visited a poultry yard where there had
, formerly been great mortality from chicken
cholera, which was entirely checked by con
fining the chickens to lime water as their
! only drink. We ob-erved a water trough
in the yard, in which lime had been slacked,
and there was no other water. The man
ager stated to us that he had not lost one
since adopting this plan, and over ItX) up
o the lime of commencing it. So simple a
temedy is well worth farther trial. Lime
water is often a corrsetve of the stomach
( and bowels in the human subject.
A Pensylvania editor lost a paying sub
, scriber by death the other day, and this
is the editorial obituary that follows:
“Death seems to lurk behind every rail
fence and hay-stack in this vicinity, and
lie in wait for cur prominent and chcirest
' citizens- To-day we see it, to-morrow we
don’t. Ah, who can tell what a week may
bring forth in such a blasted country as
' this? Death has again turned Hip-flap and
' come down flat-footed in our midst, and
snatched from amongst us one of the best
advertisers and subscribers we ever hud-

Sclienctady has the latest Enoch Ardei -
ism. Husband was gone sixteen years:
wife became the third spouse of a wealthy
j citizen, and when her husband returned

squarely into the door) she asked the weal

property. “In my children’’ said he.
“children by my first wife.” “Then I

It i« no use denying the fact that Macon
has more sickness in her midst at th;-’ time
than at any time with in the recollection < f
her oldest citizens. The prevalence of con
tagious diseases is not very great, but the
severity of the winter has occasioned coles
and coughs, pneumonia and other sickness
produced by bad weather, to such an extent
as to keep our large corps of physicians
constantly on the run. The meningitis and
pneumonia have caused more deaths than >
any* other sickness recently.— Enterprise, .
