FRIDAY MORNING, MARCH 21, 1873.
BRINGING IT HOME.
BY SLVANUS COBB, JR.
Elisha Trask lived in the country
.town of Birchdale. It was one of the
oldest towns in the State, and had
been deemed, by its inhabitants, as
one of the pleasantest. Under the
pressure of the “Maine Law,” so call
ed, the sale of intoxicating beverages
had been for a time almost entirely
suppressed in that section.
At length, however, society ralax-
ed from its vigilance, as though for a
rest, and bottles and jugs were, once
more replenished, though as yet with
great caution and circumspection.
In time, however, the enemy became
more bold, and our tavern keeper of
Birchdale opened his bar. So long
as he had kept his decanters hidden
from the weak ones of the town, and
had sold only to travellers, the peo
ple had not openly remonstrated; but
whqn he came to throw the evil open,
and vend tne tippling beverage over
the bar to all callers, the better class
of the villagers were alarmed: and
measures were taken for calling a
meeting of the citizens for the pur
pose of restraining this violation of
the public weal. The committee who
had the matter in hand called upon
Elisha Trask.
Mr. Trask was an enterprising,
frugal and industrious man, with a
young and interesting family grow
ing up about him; and it was the in
fluence of such men that the commit
tee desired to secure.
“I don’t know,” said Trask, shak
ing his head, when the matter had
been presented to him. “Mr. Whop
per doesn’t interfere with me.”
Whopper was the tavern-keeper.
“But,” said the committee-man,
“he is interfering with the good of
our community.”
“Then let the law take him in
hand,” was Trask’s rejoinder.
“I think,” replied the committee’s
spokes-man, “that our town should
be a law unto itself in such matters.
This is a question involving our deep
est moral and social interests, and if
we are true to ourselves we can set
tle it without trouble. All we require
is the emphatic expression of our
people against it.”
“But r ” suggested Trask, “suppose
you present the expression of the
people to Mr. Whopper, and he still
continues to sell, what then?”
“Then,” said the visitor, “if we
have the majority of the citizens to
back us, we will stop him by force.”
Elisha Trask shook his head again
He couldn’t see the use of pushing
such a thing. He believed temper
ance was a good thing,- and he went
in for it; but he didn’t believe in us
ing any harsh measure. Mr. Whop
per was an old resident—he had kept
the tavern a"good many years—and
he, for one, did not care |o meddle
with him.
“We know,” replied the commit
tee. “that it is not pleasant to inter
fere with the affairs of our neighbors;
but we must remember that the com
monweal has claims upon us. There
is danger to our young men in Whop
per’s bar. For their sake let us shut
it up.
“Let those who are in danger look
to the business,” replied Trask. ‘For
my part, I tell you frankly, I am not
inclined to meddle with that which
does not concern me. If you have
such a strong desire to protect the
public, why don’t you pitch in? As
for me, I believe if every man would
look out for himself, and take care
of his own affairs, the public at large
would be pretty well cared for. Fact
is, I would do to others just as I
would have others do' to me. I don’t
Want other people to interfere with
my business unless I interfere with
theirs. Mr. Whopper has never
troubled mo.”
“That is hardly a safe philosophy
for application to the allairs of so
ciety,” said the committee-man seri
ously.
Mr. Trask, being weary of argu
ment, took refuge in offence, and
bade the committee to go about their
business. He wanted nothing to do
with the matter any way. He would
lookout for himself, and would ad
vise others to do the same.
There were other men in Birch
dale like Mr. Trask. They acknowl
edged that a tippling-shop was an
evil, but they did not care to meddle
with it while it did not interfere with
them personally. They were con
tent to imagine that what did not
come home to their own doors did
not concern them.
And so the people were not arous
ed, and Mr. Whopper’s bar remained
open. I do not mean that he kept a
public bar, just as he might have
done had he been licensed so to do ;
but he kept liquor for sale by the
glass; and though the little back
room where his decanters stood was
generally kept locked, yet the tender
of a ten-cent bit by any respectably
behaved individual was a sufficient
“Open sesame.”
Time passed on. In the midst of
stirring events five vears rolled quick
ly away; and the boy of twelye had
grown to be a youth of seventeen.
Such a son had Elisha Trask—a son
by whom he set great store. The
hoy was wayward and impulsive,
but he was frank and truthful and
generous; and he was furthermore
above the average in intellectual ca
pacity. Elisha was aware of his
.son’s weaknesses, and he strove hard
;to give .him moral strength. More
than once the youth had returned
~~ sfttertainnwdii with L f«
unnatural and unhealthful flow of
spirit in his blood. Mr. Trask was
filled with alarm. He would rather
die than see his son disgraced.
“Gilbert,” he said to his boy, on
one of these occasions, “I think I
would rather see you brought home
dead, than to see you brought home
drunk!”
And vet the terrible ordeal came.
One cold winter night Gilbert was
brought to liis anxious parents in a
state of helpless intoxication.
“Where has he been ?” asked the
father.
“We found him at the tavern,”
said those who had brought him
home.
“And he has been drinking there?”
“Yes. He has been a pretty goor
customer of Mr. Whopper of late.’
Elisha Trask asked no more; bu
on the following morning he salliet
forth upon the warpath. The evi
had been brought home to his ovn
door, and he was now ready to bat
tie against it. He had himself fel
-the sharp steel enter his heart, anc
he was aroused to a sense of th<
danger. He was a man of strong
impulses, and when once his passion
took sway he knew no fear. ' Philoso
phy was blown to the winds, ant
only hatred to the harmful thing wa
the incentive to the action. H
bearded the lion in his den; and h
did not rest until Mr. Whopper ha<
been “hauled over the coals, as h
expressed it, and his bar effectuall
closed.
Mr. Trask has been leu into ne> -
and enlarged views concerning hi’
duties toward the common weal. A :
his children grow up around him
and step out mto the highways an :
by-ways of life, he realizes tha'
though he as an individual may bi
in no danger, it may yet be his dut j
to provide safeguards for those no-
so fortunate as himself,—and not on
ly his duty, but his privilege ; fcj
while he may stand safe in hi 1
strength, he knows not how soo;
the enemy, if left at liberty, mat
strike down some loved one who i|
weaker.
Boys, Listen to This.
True as the Gospel is the follow
ing, said by Robert Collyer, of Chi
cago :
“It is true that the working, suci
cessful men of to-day were onej
poor, industrious, self-reliant boyij
And the same thing will be repeat j
ed—for, from the ranks of the hardi
working, economical, temperate an I
persevering boys of to-day, will emj
anate progressive, prominent men
the future.”
“Every man doing any sort cj
work in Chicago to-day, was raise-1
a poor man’s sQn, and had to fight
his. way to his place. Not one cj
them, as I can ascertain, was a rici}
man’s son, and had a good timj
when he was a boy. All boys should
grow as strong as a steel bar, fight*
iug their way on to an education
and when they are ready, plungj
into life with that traditional ha!|
dollar and a little bundle tied up i:j
a red handkerchief, as I have know;
men to start. I tell you that in fiv{
and twenty years, when most of u|
that are in our middle age hav|
gone to our retribution, the men c
mark in this country will not be thf
sons of those whose fathers can giv
them all they wish for, and ten time
more than they ought to have, bu
will be those who are brought up it
farm houses and cottages, cuttin.{
their way through the thickest hind,
ranees of every sort; and all thi
brown stone houses of this metropc
lis will be as nothing to bring out
the noble man.”
Worth Knowing.—One pound c|
green copperas, costing seven cent?,
dissolved in one quart of water, an-1
poured down a water closet, will el
factually concentrate and destro t
the foulest smells. On board shipt
and steamboats, about hotels an I
other public places, there is nothin ]
so nice to purify the air. Simpl |
green copperas, dissolved under thf
bed, in anything that will hold water,
will render a hospital, or other place;
for the sick, free 'from unpleasarj
smells. In fish-markets, slaughtei
houses, sinks, and wherever theri
are offensive putrid gases, dissolvl
copperas and sprinkle it about, an<|
in a few days the smell will pass away*
If a cat, rat or mouse dies about th>|
house, and sends forth an offensiv-t
gas, place some dissolved coppera |
in an open vessel near the plac-i
where the nuisance is, and it will
purify the atmosphere.
A gentlemanly conductor was col-*
lecting tickets-from his passengers.
All handed over their tickets prompt
ly except one fat old lady who sat
near the door, and seemed to be
reaching down to get money she had
dropped on the floor. When her
time came to pay she raised her
head and thus addressed the blush
ing conductor: “I allurs, when I
travels, cany my money in my stock
ing, for you see nothing can get it
thar, and Fd just thank you, young
man, j&st to reach it to me, as I'm
so jammed in I can’t get atit. I for-
.got to get a ticket at tne depot.” The
conductor glanced at the other pas
sengers, some of whom were laugh
ing at Ins plight. One or two young
ladies among them blushed scarlet,
and he beat a sudden retreat, mut
tering something about not charging
old ladies, etc. TTia cash was short
that trip the fare of one passenger.

Smiths come from is answered. A
factory in a neighboring cijy bears
the sign “Smith Manufacturing Com

Gentlemen—I used your Fertilizer on my
Corn crop this year, at the rate of two hu n
dred pounds on less than three acres—quantity
applied to each hill, contents ef a common
match-box reduced to one-third of its size,
enciroling the hill six inches ; three grains
of com dropped therein ; hills four by four
feet, with two stalks left to the hilL Crop
planted second week in April..
RESULTS :
Upon less than three acres,. 144 bushels and
943 large bundles fodder. I selected 250 ears
from the field. Seventy-five ears shelled one
bushel; exhibited at the State Fair. Sold the
Com for four dollars, and won the prize of
ten dollars for the best bushel of Corn.
The soil upon which this crop grew is an
Indian old field, and has been in cultivation
over eighty years—having worked it myself
forty-eight yean. This field did not yield,
last year, tea bushels per acre.
Very respectfully,
