The Marvelous Qoings
OF—
PRINCE ALCOHOL.
A I>I.I :A M.
BY REV. JAMES A. CI.KMENT.
CHAPTER IV.— Continued.
After the Prince In.l made what, im
provetuent he could of his recent victory,
he then, it) a very formal manner, return
ed hi. hearty thanks to his officers and
soldiers, for the prompt and efficient
aid they had rendered him in his enter
prise. Those who had afforded him
special aid, received special commenda
tion. for Alcohol was truly a diseerner of
merit in his way. He informed his troops
that they must expect to fight many more
battles; that though Reason, f'onseienee.
and their friends seemed to be routed,
many of them, after a little, would re
vive and he sure to create future disturb
ances, and that they must hull them
selves in readines to attack them at all
times, and in all places, until they should
eitherbe slain or Iriven out of the world.
The Prince sent his thanks also to the
Captains of the garrisons, urged them to
redoubled efforts, and enjoined it upon
them, with an emphasis peculiar to him
self, to live Reason, Conscience. Public
Good, and all their abettors and allies no
quarters. “ They are wicked, mis 'liiev
ous men,” snid he: “he valiant, brave
coadjutors, and we shall obtain over them
a most signal, complete and honorable
victory.”
I was much dis'ressed at the sight
of these things, and wet my couch
with tears. A messenger stood by me.
“Friend,” said he, “1 have seen your
distress, and have come to comfort you.
Follow me to yonder hill, and I will show
you a pleasant sight.” I followed.
Aftet ascending the eminence my guide
directed my eyes towards a plain where 1
beheld a delightful encampment. There
was the Touch Not Regiment, of which I
had heard something, but was anxious to
hear more. It. was compcsod of tw >
attalions, each of which was beautiful,
and paest nted a for idahlo appearance,
causing Alcohol and his army to tremble.
The first ba'tahon was styled The Cold
Water Templars. It was made up of re
emits from the boys and girls, who were
banded together for self protection in
their youthful days, and riper years, and
to train themselves to wage a more suc
cessful warfare upon the doings of Prince
Alcohol. It was a most beautiful sight,
to see so many of those boys and girls in
the innocency of youth thus engaged in
the great work to be accomplished
Thousands upon thousands had arranged
themselves for the conflict, and presented
a determination worthy the cause they
had espoused. Alcohol affected a laugh
of derision at this battalion, but he evi
dently trembled when he saw so many
th usands enlisting under its banner, and
being trained in early y nth, to ripen
with their years, and ultimately to re
inforce the more vigorous, experienced
and harder lighting battalion. And with
a deep drawn sigli he hid his face in his
hands as he heard their sweet and youth
ful voices, as the sound of many waters
peeling out an ode to the sparkling water:
Sparkling and I right n its liquid tight,
In tin* water in our j^lrhhoh;
’Twill jjive you health, ’twill give you wealth.
Ye lads and rosy laSßea.
O! then renigi your ruby wine,
E i h Kiniliiitf eon and daughter;
There’s nothing m> good for the youthful blood
Nor sweet as the sparkling water.
The next battalion was composed of
men and women, ranged under different
names from the Washingtonians of <arly
date, down to the late Order, known .-is
tho Independent Order of Goo. 1 .ctitp
lars, handed together u-ider an ohliijatinn
life lon y in its duration, not only to ab
stain from drinking as a beverage any
thing that can intoxicate, but also to de
sist from trafficking in any way in the
article, reclaim the fallen—in a word, to
exert their entire influence Lv pre ept
and example to diminish the ranks of
Prince Alcohol, and ultimately drive in
temperance from the land.
This was a vast and mighty army, daily
increasing, numbering its members by
hundreds of thousands in the New and
Old World, and marching in signal tri
umph with victory or death emblazoned
in golden letters upon their escutcheon.
This Standard pleased me much. On
o e side was beautifully wrought, in
needle work, a pitcher of water. On the
other side was a dwarfish representation
of Alcohol snugly eorked up in a bottle,
and standing upon an apothecary's shelf.
“Safjty and a good conscience,” was tho
motto. Saif denial was standard-bearer.
Total Abstinance commanded. They
were encamped in the plains of Security.
Order arranged the ranks. Prosperity,
Peace, Cheerfulness aud Solid Joy bless
ed them with their presence. The large
families of Sobriety and Virtue held
commissions iri toe army; and Health,
a blooming nymph, brought them water
from a mountain spring. Hospitality
was there, and Humanity and True
Friendship were there; and there 1 saw
a Good Samaritan dressing tho wounds
of Public Good, who had been carried
thither faint and bloody, from the field
of battle, free Wisdom was stationed
on a delightful eminence near the en
campment, and through a golden trum
f et called upon tho notions to enlist un
der the banner of Total Abstinence.
“And are there any,” said I to my guide,
“are there any who can refuse to obey the
summons of True Wislom?” “None,"
teplie l he. “but those who are led astray
by Ineon-tideratiott, or who listen to the
voice of Appetite, or yield to tyranny
of Fashion.” As I gazed at the encamp
ment I was filled with rapture, and could
hut exclaim: ‘ How good y are thq
Pouch-not tents, and thy tabernacles, O
Abstits anoc!”
My guide now disappeared, and I again
saw a sight, which made me -veep. Alco
hol appeared, and took his station with
some of his army, upon a distant eleva
tion which ro e pleas in ly from Temp
tation plains The silken banner was
unfurled to the wind and tna e a bright
and fascinating display. Vlcohol did not
meditate a violent attack up >n th ' T mch
not entrenchments, for he very well knew
that ho could not secure any advantage
over the Cold water troops, unless ho
could first entice them from the standard
of Self denial, and seduce them along
into the regions of Indulgence, where
waved the silken banner lie now re
sorts to craft, He fills the air with the
fascinating savor of his breath, which
had been nerfnmed wiih the frankincense
of the pit. He beckons the soldiers of
Total Abstinance towards him with the
most inviting gestures; his countenance
appears like the face of an angel of light,
and with sweet, mellow, hen t inciting
tones did he entreat them again an!
again to flock to the silken L inner and li
happy. Many of his < ddiers repeated
the exhortations of their leader Fareuts
who were standing in his ranks spake of
their Prince in terms of warmest praise,
and invited their children to come forth
from the tents of Abstinance, and ioi.i
them in the Temperate battalion. Min
isters came forward, and if they said
nothing, their conduct and example
seemed to say “Come, ye people of our
charge, who delight so much in that,
mountain spring, come go with us, and
we will do you good.” The noble of
earth came forward in pomp, and invited
their inferiors up to an honorable equa
lly with their noble s-Ives. Friends en
tieed friends; neighbors enticed neigh
hors; saints enticed saints, and even in
viteil the ungodly to the snare. I'liose
arts succeeded with thousands; they fled
from the standard of Self-denial, took
the road of danger, hurried into the re
gion of Indulgcn-e, and tanged them
selves under the s.lken banner.
Then l considered in my dream that
art is sometimes more dangerous than
tore ; that the good, the wise, and the
virtuous may unconsciously aid the c-iu-c
of deception; ho the means of seducing
those whom th<*y most ten lerl.v love,
from the e-trenelnrents of Security,
and helping them on to destruction. I
groane 1 in my sleep; and here the chap
ter ends.

A Wild Man in Nebraska.
The Fremont (NeL.) Tribune contains
an article giving the details ot the dis
oovory of a W'ld man in that vicinity.
Two young men were out hunting water
fowls, when they came upon tlie strange
being. He was just emerging Irom a
clump ot trees and underbrn h when
they caught a glimpse ofltim. II is dress
was iu a most primitive style, consisting
of a woolen shirt, lie had a sti kin his
hand which lie swung around his head as
if atrikitig at something he saw in the
air, aud uttering the while a sh ,rp. mi -
earthly noise. Like a wild animal, he
was constantly on a sharp lookout, ner
vously looking this way and that, as his
ear detected the least unusual noise, or
his eye noticed the shaking of a reed, or
anything that was the least, ex'raordi
nary. After a few moments ho squatted
on liis haunches under a tree aud l>-gan
to dig in the ground with his hands mid
the slick, occasionally carrying some
thing to his mouth, winch he seemed to
|,e eating. The boys became more inter
ested iu tho strange being than in the
object of their hunt, and crawled oau
tiously toward him until ne ir enough to
satisfy their curiosity. He was digging
roots aud feeding upon them. As nearly
as they could judge from appearance he
was about f irty or forty-five years of age,
of strong and iio-y frame; liis hair was
so long as to tall in snarls over hi- bronzed
and duty shoulders; hi- heard, like his
hair, long and shaggy, and his entire
body covered with a growth of hair
which could not have been less than an
inch tong. His complexion must have
been originally iGlit,. as his hair was of a
lightish brown- After viewing him a
short time they concluded to retreat.
After going a few steps the monster
sprang up and started instantly at them,
lleeomitig frightened, he sprariz into the
P.atte river, crossed over to Little Island,
and disappeated in its thick uuilerbrush.
A Wedding Toua in Texas. —The
Waco (l’exas) Examiner relates that a
young married couple came down from
Comanche county on horseback, recently,
and spent the day in Waco. Hand in
hand they walked the streets for hout'3,
she nibbling daintily at. a stick of candy,
and he hungrily at half a pound of gin
gerbread. When there was nothing in
the show windows to admire she gazed
fondly up into his eyes, some four teet
above her, and he lovingly down into
hers. A ride on the street cars ended
this day in the city, and, remouuting
their horses, a quick ride took them home
from as happy a bridal tour us ever mor
tals made.
“Master at home?" “No, sir, lie’s
out.” “Mistress home?” "No, sir,
she’s out.” “Then I'll step in and sit by
the fire.” “That’s out too, sir.”

Neglect the whole world beside, rather
than one another.
Never speik loud to oak atiotli r un

Never find fault unless it is perfectly
certain a lault has been committed.
Do not herald the sacrifices you make
to each other’s tastes, huLits, or prefer

The very felicity is in the mutual cul

Consult one another in all that comes

A hesitating or grunt yielding to the
wishes of the other always grates upon

of domestic enjoyment.
Never relleot on a past action which
was done with a good motive, and with
l lie best judgment at tiie time.
The beautiful in heart is a million
times of more avail, as securing domes

They who marry for phy ieal cbar.to

fail of happiness.

A Btidegroom’s Narroxr Fscat)' > .
A good story Is told of a Hartford in
surance man, who soma years ago, soon
alter his marriage, went to a country
town in Maine with another adju-ter to
settle a loss. Arriving at the tavern at
a late hour in the nigh ~ they were given
a room with a forty pound feather bed
therein, which, from its temperature, had
evidently been under the influence of
some human -vanning pan; in tact, as it
appeared, the room ha,l been occupied
up to the midnight arrival of the adjust-
NUMBER 49.
ers by the landlord's daughter, who in
her hurried departure to make room fo •
these distinguished arrivals, left _ her
chemise hanging upon the bed post. The
newly married Hartford underwriter, ia
unpacking his valise, after his return
home, to the presence of his affectionate
bride, turned out, ami.ng its other con
tents, to the astonishe 1 eyes of himself
and bride, the aforesaid chemise, which
had been carefully packed away by his
diabolical companion. It. is gratifying to
be able to record that as the honeymoon
was yet young, this explanation, with all
its lameness, was accepted, nod the scalp
of the groom was saved for future use.
He Knew Him. —A Hartford (Conn.)
paper says: A police inspector being in
formed that a restaurateur in his baili
wick was serving game out of season,
visits the restaurant in mufti, and orders
dinner.
“Waiter," says he, “can you give ms
a salmi of partridge?”
“tiertimily, sir,” replies the waiter,
promptly, and yelks to the cook, “Par
tridge for i ne. ”
The inspector finishes his dinner leis
urely, and then says to the waiter: “Aik
the boss to step this way a minute.”
“What for?”
“1 wish to notify hitu to appear in
court to-morrow, aud answer for selling
partridge out of season."
"Oh, I gu-s it ain't worth while both
ering him shone that.”
“Do as I tel! you. I am the police
inspector, and have secured the neeos
sary evidence against him.”
“Oh, l spotted you, and guessed what
you were after. It wasn't partridge you
had.”
Police Inspector (uneasily)—“ What
waa it then?”
Waiter (cheorfu.l) —“Crow ”
'llamas and Jane sat on a hotel bal
cony lor three long hours, and giving
tlieniseives away as being out-of towners.
As they vat there Thomas took one of
June’s hands. She allowed that to go
on without a word of protest, and tho
flixen haired youth finally seized the
other one, and thus they sat and sigh off
while the hours slipped away. Finally
she said:
"Tommy, dearest, I wt,nt to ask you
something.”
"A k me a hundre'l—a thousand—a
million things! ’ b r , exclaimed in reply.
“Well, Touiu’y, i've got an awful cold
in my head,” sLc continued; “and if l
drew one ol n-.y hand- away and wipe-*,
my nose, would you think I w-.s mad?
I’ve cither got to do that, Tommy, or let
ny nose wipe itself. Just one wipe;
tommy, and then youtnav have it hack.”
Tommy released her hand, though he
hated to, and h- r nose was softly aud
duly wiped.
Queer Marriage Ceremony.—Not
Very long ago, say# an exchange, J. A.
f and e.-oti, K-q., married a couple in the
Court House in Marietta, Ga.. using the
the following ritual:
