THE WEATHER AND THE CROP3.
The Average Temperature in All the
Southern States.
Washington, Aug. 11. —The weather
crop bulletin of the signal otfico for the
past week is as follows: “During the week
ending Aug. 10 about tbe average tempera
ture prevailed in the southern states, in the
Missouri valley and Dakota, while it was
slightly cooler thau usual in the northern
states east of the Mississippi, the
coolest section being the upper
Mississippi valley and the upper
lake regions, where the daily temperature
was from 3“ to 6° lower than usual. There has
been an excess of rainfall during the week
generally throughout the South Atlantic
and Gulf states, Maryland, Virginia, Dela
ware, lowa, Eastern Minnes >ta. Nortern
Miss uri and fne east portions of Kansas
and Nebraska. Well distributed showers
occurred in all the other sections east of tee
R ckv mountains, and in some sections of
New York and Pennsylvania local storms
were atteude 1 bv excessive rainfalls.
WHERE THEY WERE HEAVIEST.
“The heaviest rains occurre 1 in the South
Atlantic states, where from two to four
inches are reported. In Ohio, Indiana,
Kentucky and Tennessee all crops were im
proved by favorable weather. Corn is re
ported in excellent c jnditio i. T ibacco was
improved in Ohio, but this crop needs in re
sunshine in Kentucky. In the central por
tion of the cotton region, extending from
Mississippi to Georgia, the weather was more
favorable than that of the preceding week,
and she condition of the cotton crop was
somewhat improved. In North Carolin i
and South Carolina excessive rains caused
some injury to the cotton and tobacco
crops.
FAVORABLE IN THE WESTERN SECTION.
‘‘ln the western norti in of the cotton
region the weather was generally favorable.
The prospects are reported as excellent in
Arkansas, an 1 in Texas a heavy cotton c op
is expected if rain occurs in th- ii“Xt few
days. From the present i idicutions these
rains are likely to occur. In New England
and the Middle Atlantic states the weather
of tho ueek was generally lu.ftivo: able.
Throughout these sections the potatoe crop
has t een seriously injured.
“The fruit crop in New Jersey has boon
largely reduced, and in New York the hop
crop has been damaged. All crons were
improved in Virginia by the favorable
w eather of the week.”

thal was sober. The former had a father
and brothers in Atlanta, who came to-night.
Neither had a family.

FOUR WEEKS IN A HOSPITAL
A Common Ward Better Than a Pri
vate Room.
C Copyright 1853.)
New York, Aug. 10. —I never knew ex
actly how it happened—that accident of
mine—but Ido remember a swilt ride in a
smooth roiling vehicle, a sudden stop, and
then I found myself lying on a table with a
man of professional aspect betiding over
me and feeling of my bones to see if any
of them still remained intact. There was a
man there too, an official of some sort, who
asked me a number of eutiroly unnecessary
questions about my age, civil condition and
residence, to which 1 replied in a weary
and heedless fashion. Tnen it seems to me
t hat I was carried somewhere, 1 neither
knew nor cared where, placed oa an eleva
;or and taken somewhe o else, and then at
last I was in lied. I could nut have been at
home, because there was a very pretty
young woman in a snow white cap bending
over and asking me how I felt. I
think I told her that I felt sleepy. At
all events, I remember nothing more of
what happened that night. When I awoke
it was broad dayligLt, and I found myself
in a great room, in which were a score or
more of beds, each with an occupant. I
realized then for the first time that I was in
a hospital ward, and then I began to won
der how I got there. I did not wonder lo g,
because my head was still aching and
heavy, so I put aside the problem for fu
ture co sideration and, besides, at this mo
ment, the same pretty young woman in the
snow white cap was bearing down on me
from the other eid of the long room, and
was by all odds the most pleasing object
within my range of vision.
She came again to my bedside, smiled
upon me with winning sweetness, and asked
how I felt, la return I asked her who she
was, and she told tne that she was a trained
nurse and that I was then in Ward I of the
New York hospital, to which I had been
brought the night before from the scene of
my accident, l'hen she asked me if I would
like some breakfast. I said that I would,
and she went off to get it.
That was the beginning of my hospital
experi nee, and for fully a month I re
mained an i. mate of Ward I, waiting for
my wounds to heal, and slowly recovering
from the effects of my fall. I had heard a
great leal about hospital life, and the suf
ferings endured by patients, aud had often
wondered how it would seem to live in a
room with twenty or thirty wounded and
dying people lying about one. I had al
ways determined that if misfortune ever
brought me within the walls of a hospital,
I would secure for myself the luxury of a
- rivnic room. It might do for bricklayers
and mechanics to lie in an ordinary ward
with their fellows, but 1 w is confident that
I was too delicately constituted to put up
with such promiscuous c impany. By the
time I had been there a week, I had got
rid of that idea, as well as a good many
others concerning hospital life. I found
out, too, that a patient is by no means bad
ly off in a well-appointed, well conducted
hospital like the one to which 1 had been
taken. Indeed there are a great many
people who derive benefit in more ways
than one from the regular life, simple food
and freedom from excitement which con
stitute par of the treatment.
We used to awake at what was to mo an
unheard of hour in the morning, aud at
six o’ci , k breakfast was served. The meal
was carried on trays to those who were not
able lo leave their beds, and then the con
valescent patients filed into the next room
and ate their breakfast around a big table,
after the manner of civilized human beings,
jhe first time 1 laughed since my arrival
was when my eyes f II upon the melancholy
procession of the halt, the maimed aud tha
blind hobbling in, some on crutches, others
with a cane, and others with
an arm in a sling, to tho morning
meal. After breakfast, the nurses made
the round of the ward, made the beds,
placing on each a suhw white coverlet,
which was always remove 1 at night, aud
dressing the wounds of those who required
it. The duty completed, a number of oan
dages were given to the patients to roil,a task
which occupied about an hour, and which
I, for my part, heartily enjoyed, as it was
the ouly regular duty that I had t)o perform.
About 10 o’clock the house surgeon ap
lieared, accomjxmied by one or two assist
ants, aud made n tour of the ward, st ip
piug at each bed, and often examining
wounds or fractures. The first time 1 saw
these sawbones enter I shuddered, for I
thought they were going to perform some
operation; but my neighbor in the adjoin
ing bed relieved mo by telling me that all
operations were performed in the theater
upstairs.
At 11 o’clock visitors began to arrive
and from that hour until 6 in the evening
there were always two or three or more to
be seen talking to their friends. The next
event on the day’s programme was dinner,
which was served at 12 o’clock, and
consisted of soup, meat, vegetables aud
bread, with sometimes a simple dessert. At
3 o’ lock tbe surgeons made their sec
ond round, this time in company with the
head surgeon of the hospital. Supper was
served at 0 and by 8 o’clock the lights
were turned down, the patients tucked
a way in bed, aud we went to sleep.
Not an exciting life that, but a Leal: by
one, and the best possible for a sick or
wounded man. I know that I gamed flesh
during mv month's incarceration, wuile
the r> gular life aud early h urs wore of
great benefit, to me. Of enure 1 had a
great deal of le.snie time on mv hands, and
1 employed it in reading and nis > in the s ■-
eiety of those about me. It does not take
long to got acquaiutel with tie's -eighliors
in a place like tuat, and in tho course of a
week I had all the gossip of the ward at
tar tougu '’s end. 1 knew tli ■ name af each
patient and the nature of his mishap, knew
that this man was liable to lose his leg and
that another had but a few da. s to live. It
is only by taking >n interest in one’s fellow
buff rers that hospital life ca t 0 mads en
durable. I would have perished f loneli
ness in a private room, and I was .told by
the superintendent that no me who had
over been In a ward could be induced to
take a private room. “You see,” he said to
me, "you get well all the quic.te - when
you’ve gjt something to thing of besides
your own trouble. If you are mar >omb
yourself you get to brooding over your
misfortune, und the progress ot recovery is
greatly rma; tied.”
There were not mauy members of the
Four Hundred in our ward; m fact, they
were chiefly mechanics or laborers of some
sort; but they were ad good nature i and
kindly, and, as a general thing, no o their
sufferings without complaint. I judged
from my own observation that the Italians
made the most fuss uud the negroes the
least. There were plenty of Irishmen there,
of course, and 1 remember them as the m sr
sociabh and cheerful of patients. One of
these, who was the life of the party, had
been, thev told me, at death’s door three
weeks before and sull carried in nis bro st
a bullet winch nail been lodged there by his
brotner in the course of a- argument on
religious matters. One miwno.ii 1 re
member very well, occupied th i bed direct
ly opposite mine a id spent most, of his time
reading the Bible, a copy of wnich is place 1
on every table. As this man had been a
hansom cab-driver, a ticket speculator and
a policeman, aid bad followed other call
ings not e mduoive to advanced religious
thought, I supposed that he read tho Bible
becaus *he had nothing else to read, so I
called for him one day and off ered hi u some
novels that had been sent me.
“Much obliged to you," ho replied, “but
I’ve got hold of a better b Kik ihau that.
I've often heard of the Bible before, but 1
never read it tilt now, and T tell you that
some of these stories are blamed i itereit
iug.”
Another patient of a religious turn of
mind constituted himself the and i,-ir master of
tne ward, and used 1 1 appear every Kun
day morning with a little stuck of hymn
b oks whion he dealt out io the patients.
Then he would give out the number of a
hvmuaud lead lue siugi .g ,u a i te.ir, tenor
voice, tha rest of us joining iu with more
fervor thau harmony. 1 was given to uo
ders and that wa sang louder than any othor
ward in the hospital.
i here was a young German not more
than 20 years of age, who lnt Tested me a
good deal, th ugh 1 uevorsp ike to him. He
was suffering fro i abscesses on the sid y
bro ight on by overwork at a sewing ma
chine. He was vorv pale and weak and
failed visibly from day. to day. lut i l :o
lie m bed aud wonder how much longer he
would live, for he was worn to a mere
shadow and was so feet le that he coaid oat
nothing but soup, which he took through a
glass tube. Une Sunday morning, while
ihe surgeons were making iheir round, I
heard this young fellow, whose bed was
near mine, breathing very heavily, and on
looking at him saw tnat a change was com
ing over his face. One of the nurses stepped
over to him aud then summoned the house
surgeon. In another moment a screen ha.l
been placed about bis bed, and
we could hear nothing but the
low voices of the doctor and
nurse who stood beside him, and
the heavy breathing which had become by
this time more like a hoarse rattle tha i any
thing else, ihe whole ward was as slid as
death. Suddenly the breathiug ceased and
a un ment later 1 saw the uurso take down
tho card which hung over his bed. Tnen
we knew that he was dead. Almost iiri e
diatelv the bod,'was placed onastretc or
and carried away byaioideriy. Tnen tbe
bed was remade,all traces of tho dead boy re
moved, and before night another wounded
man was brought iu and laid there.
It was a surprise to me to find so many
educated aud refined women act.ng as
nurse*. I asked tiie night nurse,the same one
who bent over me on tne night of my ar
rival, how she came to adopt such a callin .
“Because 1 l.ko it,” she replied. “1 w iuld
much rather do this than teach school or
run a typewriter. Besides, I cau make
more money in this way than in any other
aid the work is very fasci ating. I get iu
tares ed in every case in the ward, and al
though the hours are very long, from six to
six, I am so busy tnat time flies very rapid
ly. After I have completed the course in
the training school, I shall be able to earn
from |25 to s3l) a week •> ith my board by
going out as atrainei nurse to take care of
patients in private families.”
There is another advantage which nursts
enjoy, but which mv informant did not men
tion. That is, tneir calling gives them ex
ceptional opportunities for making an im
pression on w-althy aud susceptible pa
tients, and also on tho handsome a ,and agree
able young doctors on tho house staff.
I have known several cases iu which
pretty arid well-bred nurses contracted ad
vantageous matches with man whom thev
kau nursed through illness. At such a time,
as I know by experience, a sift voice aud a
gentle hand wih accomplish wouders with
a susceptible patient. J. L. Ford.
TUB PASTOR WIN3 A PRIZE
In a Lottery and His Congregation is
Disgusted with Him.
Lansixg. Mich., Aug. B.—Rev. Freder
ick Mayer, pastor of the Evangelical church,
is a liberal-minded gentleman, but his con
gregation was shocked this morning to hear
that he had been invesii gin lottery tick
ets, and durufouaded whan they loarnud
further that he had bagged $5,000 in a
recent drawing.
Rev. Mayor is about 27 years old and
well educated. He says he bought the
ticket just as he would get married or take
any otner hazardous stop, and th t be was
overwhelmed when he discovered that he
had won a big prize. He declares that he
can see nothing sinful in acquiring money
in tins way, and he hus put the money in a
bank until he finds a suitable investment.
On the other hand the church society sees
considerable harm in the transaction, and
there is likely to be an early vacancy in the
pulpit.

obtaining his majority and soon aft ,r
joined the order of Trappists. In 1845 he
came to America in company with the
monks, who established the famous monas

of the leaders of t.iis bund, and maintained
his connection wi hit untii 1859, when he
fell violeu l l vin love with a b -autiful young
lady who lived near the monastery, and
whom ho was in tho habit of meeting
clandestinely from time to time. The two
became so deeply enatn red with each
other that Healy tinaily broke the vows of
life-long celibacy ho ha 1 taken by marry

For this act ho was expelled from the
order and excommunicated from the Catho

and denied tho benefits of ins church, he
became mor se and, hypochondriacal, woicli
resulted in partial dementia, before Ids

was established by Father Bruno at La

name. It is known as the most a oelic
order in the Catholic churcn, and so severe

A PiRATB’d FLAG ON A CHURCH
8PIH8).
The Good People of t-.ug Harbor Stirred
Up by a Hoodlum's trank.
New York, Aug. 7. —Sag ila bor has not
had as much amusement for twenty years
as a party of rollicking spirits gave it yes
terday. Some time during Monday night a
pirate’s flag was flung to the brezo from
the weatnercock on the steeple of the Pres
byterian cuurch. The Hag is coal black and
about 5 feet square, in its center there is
a g. tuning skull and orossbones in cardinal
red. Tho members of the ehurci and
their shepherd, the ltev. Air. Wilson, feel
scandalized that their house of worship
should have been selected for so conspicu
ous a desecration. The placing of the flag
at the apex, of the spire was undoubtedly
the work of bhi hoodlums. Whoever did
it left no trace behind. The steeple is 181
feet above the roof of the church, and the
cap ou the wind guugs is 22
feet higher still. The flag waved in a stiff
breeze yesterday’ and to-lay, but was to >
well fastened io bo blown down. Tne
trustees of the church have offered <2O for
its removal. A painter named Smith will
undertake the hazardous task for <SO. The
trustees will pay <IOO for the arrest of the
person who placed the flag on the spire.

A CHINESE TAILOR SHOP.
How a New York Mongolian Supplies
His Customers.
(Copyrighted.)
New York, Aug. 10. —There are many
Chinese tailor shops m New York. Mott
street is filled with the n. They are in cel
lars, where pigtailod Mongolians sit aid
wnich on three legged stools, und a pass
word or a detective is needed to pass a
stra ger from the street. They are in the
rear of first floor shops aud some are in
upper stories, through long, winding halls
that smell of dried fish, boiling biros’ nests
a’i-1 frying pigs’ tails. The clothes are kept
on dingy shelves and in box-si under dark
counters, ami only form part of tho general
stock, like i ails in a hardware shop. But
there is only one l’oole in New York, and
he has no imitators. To imitate our Celes
tial 1* Kile require! more capital than the
average Chinaman possessor Mr. Poole is
kuow-i t- the business public as Moi L e
W a & Cos,, aud is familiarly called Mr. Mei
by those who have the honor of his por
smal acquaintance. His placo of business
i-> in the Bowery where ho occupies the first
tlo r and the basement of one of the lai gest
buildings under the shadow of tbe elevated
r< iad.
t'bo tailor shop looks as little like the
on ternary clothing store us a ('hmaio laun
dry doeshkou Mu ray Hill drawing r oin. It
' “ large room tilled with tables piled high
w.tag o is, and clothing seems to b * ab mt
the only thing that is n t offered for sale.
At the door behind a small counter, ffeuer
•illy sit two men. U p is short, stout.,
shrewd-eyed and smiling. lie wears
Vmericau clothes with his pig tail carefully
e-iile-t out of sight under a fashionable
M'tek naw straw hat. He is the head sales
man, and a capable one too, if appe trances
count for am thing. The other is slender
and melancholy. He alTeets the s nnlier in
‘turn und wears a hia k lull hut of tho pre
i ailing undertaker style, ile spends his
t-iinu 11 leering a kindergarten counting ma
chine mi-1 marking up accounts with a
piece of India ink or a paint brush on the
long pages of a brown paper notebook, lie
is the bookkeeper and is said to be one of
the m -st ex ert heiroglyphio makers in the
Chinese quarter.
Iho u uler salesman is aldermanio in
form and dresses\ery much as an Ameri
can does u hot w eather, with ins coat tff
and the sleeves of his white shirt, rolled up
to the elbows, lbs kn wledge of K glis iis
confined by slrictly commercial limits, but
nis w in ing smile is broad enough to cover
any li guistic deficiencies he may possess.
A cased caller might fancy at the door
hat Mr. Mei kept, a lea store. Before he
had gone twenty feet he would credit him
with keeping a crockery store. Another
-tilf dozen paces w -ulti change liis opinion
again, wi h nu -thor change in the appear
ance of tho store. O i the first, row of ta
bles are kept Chi -eao wares of all styles
and at all prices, from comm >n crockery
seis worth £.► each to a wufKirii io t vas.-
value-1 at st,nqu. *Ou tue next row are
glassware aud quare boxes holding teas
an 1 spiced herbs. Behind glass cases,
again t tho wall, aie knick-knacks in
ivory ami gilt, worth a week’s wages tor
every square inoh of surface. Farther back
in the st re are laundry goods and the
various utensils used by frugal Mongolians
for t.ieir housekeeping.
The Chinese Po de is a Macy aud a Kittle
c unbilled Against the roar wall, which
o.eeais from tho barbarian wm Id th
living apartments of Mr. M i and pretty
Mrs. Mei, is kept the clothing, it is ni
.mde in Ciliua and imported in hulk. Here
are clothes enough to deck out t e 3,000
Chiname t of New York in holiday attire
ud keep thorn in their Sunday clot -es fo*
a year.
A Chinaman's every day outfit is beauti
ful in its simplicity. It consists of a pair of
1 i,o trousers almost ass lorr.as pantalettes
aud entirely wanting in frills; an undershirt,
a sh ft coat that is .called Cuau Sa Ti6n, or
something that sounds like that, aud an
overcoat known to tho initiated as a Foo Si
Bam. The boots,called Tien Kan Hi, together
w ith tho hut uud hosiery completes the wurd
robe.
The undershirt does not differ materially
from that, worn by native New Yorkers and
is usually made 'f pongee silk. Chinese
dudes, when not working in their laundries,
we ir finer grad -s of silk. Tho long coat
is only worn on festal occasions by the
comm n classes of Chinese, The w orking
men usually content themselves with the
short coat. Tho long garme ts cost from
?10 to sls, depending upon the wealth and
rank of the wearer. Tho lowest priced ar
ticle is made of coarse silk and is usually
blue or black in color.
The short coat sometimes costs S2OO but
tho variety usually seen on tbe streets can
be bought for fro oss to SB. It is made of
nlk anil is often given a waterproof glos*
and does double service as coat and um
brella.
The sandal-shaped boots are made of ch th
and liavo soles an inch thick. These sole
are fashioned of layers of cotton pressed
together, and as impervious to moisture as
sole leat her. The tops of the shoes are em
broidered and th-y sail from $t 60 to ssl) a
pair.
As nono of the coats have sleeves tho
selection of a suit of Chinese clothes is both
simple and satisfactory, Tho customer
simply tits the garme .t around his neck
and iako* care to select one hat is not too
long for him and the tisk is done.
Chines- bouts have no right or left;and
•he only care in choosing a pair is to see
that they are not too tight or so loose us to
rub up aril down at the heel.
Mr. Moi’s clerks follow an admirable
system in seduig their clotbi g by the
e hot-sale. They have a number of little
wooden manikins which are dressed ii the
various costumes offered for sale. Th s >
are tho samples aud from them tue choice
is made.
The higher grades of clothing are not
offered for sale indiscriminately. They are
Ui,! mark* ot rank and cau only be worn by
those entitled to the honor. lam not cer
tain ab ut this point, but I understood
from Mr. Mel’s second assistant, whose
Knowledge of English is but little more ex
pensive thau my acquaintance with the
Chinese, that it is not permitted them to
sell liigh grade clothi g to a base born
customer. But however that may bo, i
saw no rich garments in the assortment,
aud even the manikins wearing such good*
were carefully put out of the way in one of
the glass cases by the door.
While there aro a number of Chinese
clothing stores in Now York there is no
Chinese tailor. All cl-thing is ready-made.
Thanks to the celestial style of coats, every
one from a giant to a hump-backed dwarf
can tie fitted with equal ease, and as to
trousers, all that is ever seen of them by
tho public is the bottoms, which to be in
style must flap against the ankles at every
step. Benjamin Northrop.

11U.11 TIIE NATION’S CURSE
TALMAGE PREACHES ON THE HOR
RORS OF DRUNKENNESS.
Life’s Pathway Strewn With the
Corpses of Those Slain by Strong
Drink—Tbe Road to Heaven Blocked
by Them—Some of the Sufferings of
the Drunkard.
Helena, M. TANARUS., Aug. IL—The Rev. T.
DeWitt Talmage, I). D., preached here to
day to a vast congregation. Taking for his
text, “Who Slew all these!” 11. Kings x.,
10., he preached a powerful discourse on
“Drunkenness the Nation’s Curse.” He
said:
1 see a long row of baskets coming up to
ward the palace of King Jehu. lam some
what inquisitive to find out whut is in the
baskets. I 1 o kin and I find the gory heads
of seventy slain princes. As the basket*
arrive at the gate of ih ■ palace, the head#
are throw n into two he ips, one on either
side th-* gate. In the morning t e Ling
comes out, and he looks upon the bloeding,
ghasly heads of the mas-acred princes.
Looking on either side tho gate, he cries
out, with a ringing emphasis, “Who slew
all these?”
We have, my friends, lived to see a more
fearful mass icro. There is uo use of my
taking your time in trying to give you
s:ai istic.i about the devastati >u aud ruin and
the death which strong dri.ik has wrought
in this country. Statistics do not seem to
mean anything. We are so hardened under
these s mistier that tho fact hat fifty thou
sand in -re in n are slain, or fifty thousand
leas men are slain, seems to make no posi
tive impression on tho public mi id. Hutfica
it 1 1 say, that Intemperance his slain an
innumerable company of princes—tha
children i.f God’s royal family; and at the
g ite of every neighborhood there are two
heaps of the slain; and at th • door of the
household there are two heaps of
me slain; and at the door of the legislative
hall there are two heaps of the slaiu; and
at tiie do -r of the university there are two
heaps of tho slain, and at the gate of this
nation there are two heaps of the slain.
When I 1-ok upon the das -lation, I am
almost frantic with the scene, wnile 1 cry
out, “Who slow all tlie.se?” I can answer
that question in half a minute. The min
isters of Christ who have given no warning,
tho courts of law that have offered the
ilcen-iure, tee women who give strong
drink on No v Year’s day. tha fathers and
mothers who ha vo rum on tho sideboard,
the hundreds of thousands of Christian man
aud wo en in the land who are stolid in
their indifference on this subject—they slow
all these!
I propose in this discourse to til you
wlmt I think are the sorrows and tho doom
of tho drunkard, so that you to w hom I
speak nmv not come to the torment.
Home one says: “Y >u ud better let those
subjects alone.” Why, my brethren, we
would tie gla t to iet the u alone if they
would let us alone; but when 1 have in my
pock it now fur request* saying, “1’ ay f>r
my husband, pray for my sou, pray for my
brother, pray for ray frie id, who lathe
captive of strong drink,” 1 reply, we are
ready to let tiat question alone wnen
if is willing to lot us alone; but when it
stands blocking up the way to heaven, and
keepi g multitudes away from Christ aud
heaven, I dare n,c be ilent, lest the Lord
require their blood at my hands.
I think tho subject has been kept back
very much by the merriment people make
over those siai iby stro ig drink. 1 used to
lie very merry over these thing , having a
keen erase of the ludloro is. There was
something very grotesque in the gait of a
drunka and. It is not so no v; for 1 saw in
one of the streets of Philadelphia a sight
that changed the whole subject to me.
There was a young in a i being led home.
He was very much intoxicated—be was
raving with intoxication. Tv > you -g men
wi re leading him along. The boys hooted
in the street, me laughed, women sneered;
ut I happened to bs very near the
do >r w here rm went in—it was the door of
ms f itber's house. I saw him go up stairs.
1 heard him snouting, hooti g and blas
pheming. He had lost his hat, and tho
merriment i creased w th the mob until he
carno up to the door, an 1 as the door was
ojiened his mother came out. When I
hoard her cry ilia took all tbe comedy
away from the scene. Since that time
when I see a man walking through the
-8 ;reet, reeling, the comedy is all gone, and.
it is a tragedy of tears and groans and
heartbreaks. Never rnai:e a y fun around
me about the grotesquouess of a drunkard.
Al is for his home!
The ft st suffering of the drunkard is in
tho loss of his good name. God has so ar
ranged it that no ina i ever lose* his good
iame except through his own act. All the
hatred of men and all the ass suits of devil*
cannot destroy a man’s gool name if ha
rnaliy rnaiutai is his integrity. If a man is
industrious, aud pure, uud ehrLtian, God
looks after him. Althoug i he may
tie b -inbard and for twe ity or thirty ye irs*
his integrity Is n vor lost and his good
n imo is never sacrificed. No force on earth,
or in hell can capture such a Gi raltar.
But when it is said of a man, “Ho drinks,” 1
and it can be proved, then what em loyer
wants him fora workman? What store want*
him for a clerk? Wi,at church wants him
for a member? Who will trust hi ? Whit
dying man would appoint him bis exeentorf
Ho may have been forty years in building
un his repui ation—it g es and -wa Letter*
of recommendation, the backing up of busi
nes, fir ns, a b iliiant ancestry cm not save,
him. The world shits off. Why? It is
whispered all through the community, “He.
dri -ks; he dii ks.” That Masts him. When
a man 10-e, his reputation for sobriety ha
might as well be at the bottom of the sea.
I hero are men here who have their good
name as their only capital. You are now
achieving your own liveliuood, under God.
by your own right arm. Now
lookout that there is no doubt of your
sobriety. Do not create an v suspicion by
going in and out of immoral places, or by
any o lor of your breatu, or by any glara
of your eye, or by any unnatural flush of
your cheek. You cannot afford to do it„
for your good name is your only
capital, and when that is biasted with
the reputation of taking strong drink, alt
is gone.
Another ioss which the inebriate suffer*
is that of self respect. Just as soon as a.
man wakes up and find; that he is the cap
tive of strong drink ho feels demeaned. I
Id i u t care bow rondos* he acts. He may
s I don’t care;” he does care. He can
not look a pure man in the eye, unless it is
with positivo force of resolution. Three
fourths of his nature is destroyed; his self
respect g me; he says thi igs he would not
otherwise say; he does things he would not
otherwise do. When a man is nine-tenths
gone with strong drink, the first thing he
wants to do is to persuade you that he can.
stop any time he wants to. He cannot.
The Philistines have bound him hand und
foot, and shorn his locks, and put out his
eyes, und are making biin grind in the mill
of a great horror. He cannot stop. I will
prove it. He knows that his oourse is bring
ing disgrace and ruin upon himself. He
loves himself. If he could stop he would.
Ho knows his course is bringing rum upon
hu family. He lovas them. He would
stop if he couid. He cannot. Perhaps ha
could three months or a year ago; not now.
Just ask him to stop for a mouth. He can
not; he know! he cannot, so he due* nek
