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.

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. Clil< k<-u < 'lioli i-n. 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.
