A silence of several minutes ensued, which
was at last broken by the proprietor, who ex
claimed:

more, you will have to go elsewhere.”

vr , , . . -- _ . At ten o’clock in the morning the police in the
g anced at her and then at the child, with North-end were startled by the screams of a
a mingled look of curiosity and pity. Evidently
he was somewhat surprised to see a woman in
such a place begging, but, without asking any
questions, gave her some change; then turning
to those present, he said:
“Gentlemen, here is a lady in distress. Can't
some of you assist her a little?”
lhev all cheerfully acceded to this request,
and soon a purse of two dollars and a half was
raised and pnt in her hand.
“Madam,” said the gentleman who gave her
the money, “why do you come to a saloon? It
isn t a very proper place for a lady; and why
are you driven to such a step?”
“ Sir, I know it isn’t a proper place for me to
be in, and you ask why 1 am driven to such a
woman, and, starting toward the point from
whence the noise came, were met by a woman
wild with agony, who said her husband had shot
and dangerously wounded her son. Upon ar
riving at the woman’s house, the murdered boy
was iound lying on the floor in a pool of blood,
with a great wound in his side, and his father j
lying by his side kissing the face of his victim
and wildly calling on him not to die. The boy
was found to be quite dead, but the father would 1
not believe it, and, with his eldest son, fought |
against being removed from the scene of blood. ]
On leaving the house the man appeared to be J
quite drunk, but before reaching the station-
house he appeared to be quite sober. The name j
of the murderer is Patrick Pickering, a laborer,
it not. The fact is thrust upon our attention by
the statistical accounts of the temperance soci
eties. Does not that God who pondereth the
heart consider the vain excuses we make for the
neglect of duty? While he is keeping our sou Is,
does he not know our criminal indifference to
the souls of others ? We are persuaded that a
lively impression of our dependence on God,
and our accountability to him, would scatter to
the winds millions of objections against the
hardest duties. — The Pastor's Pledge (liev. W.
lioaf). ^
“I’ll Take What Father /Takes.”
“ What will you take to drink?” asked a waiter
of a young lad who for the first time accompa
nied his father to a public dinner.
Uncertain what to say, and feeling sure that
he could not be wrong if he followed his father’s
example, he replied:
“I’ll take what father takes.”
The answor reached his father’s ear, and in
stantly the full responsibility of his position
flashed upon him. And the father shuddered as
the history of several young men, once as prom
ising as his own bright lad, and ruined by drink,
started up in solemn warning before him. Should
his hopes be blasted, and that open-faced lad
become a burden ? Put for strong drink they
would have been active, earnest, prosperous men;
and if it could work such ruin upon them, was
his own son safe ? Quicker than Inclining these

To Our Contributors.
In future, we auk the co-operation of contributors in
sntorcing the following rules:
1. No enigma will be published unless accompanied by
the worded solution of the same. It is impossible for the
editor to devote his time to the herculeau task of solving
enigmas and problems in order to detect errors or publish
tile answers. Many of those who take pleasure in solving
enigmas, write us that they are frequently annoyed by the
inexcusable errors in many of them.
2. In sending puzzles, problems, charades, rebuses, rid
dles, decapitations, etc., attach correct solutions to the
same, or ttiey will be thrown aside.
3. Be sure to write all names and figures plainly and dis
tinctly. Many errors, caused by a failure to do this, are
improperly attributed to the printer.
4. An interval of two weeks will elapse between the
publication of enigmas, etc., and answers to the same.
This is done iu order to give all a chance.
5. All letters pertaining to matters in this department
should be addressed to Tub Sunny South, and have the
in one corner.

“Did you know that the money you receive

Asking for work—but I'm too small, they say;
On the damp ground I must lay my head,—
Father's a drunkard, and mother is dead!
We were so happy till father drank rum,
Then all our sorrow and trouble begun;
Mother grew pale and wept every day—
Baby and I were too hungry to play;
Slowly they laded, till one summer night
Found their dead faces a'.l silent and white;
Then with big tears slowly dropping, I said,
Father's a drunkard, and mother is dead I
Oh! if the temperance men would only find

The games of billiards were left unfinished, j
the cards were thrown aside upon the counter;
all had pressed near—some with curiosity, some
•with sadness, and some with pity beaming from
their eyes, entranced with the musical voice and
beauty of the child, who seemed to be better
fitted to be with angels above than in such a
place.
The scene I shall never forget to my dying day,
and the sweet cadence of her musical voice still
rings in my ears, and every word of the song, as
it dropped from her lips, sunk deep in the hearts
of all those around her.
Wilh her golden hair falling carelessly around
her little shoulders, her face of almost ethereal
beauty, and lookingso trustingly and confidingly
upon'the men around, lier beautiful blue eyes
illuminated with a light that seemed not of earth,
she formed a picture of purity and innocence wor
thy the genius of a poet or painter.
At the close of the song many were weeping;
men who had not shed a tear for years now wept
like childr2n. One young man, who had resisted
with scorn the pleadings of a loving mother and
the entreaties of friends to strive to lead a better
life, to desist from a course that was wasting his
fortune and ruining his health, now approached
the child, and taking both her hands in his,
while tears streamed down his pale cheeks, ex
claimed with deep emotion:
“God bless yon, my little angel! You have
saved me from ruin and disgrace, from poverty
and a drunkard’s grave. If there ever were
angels on earth, you are one. God bless you,
God bless you !” And putting a hill in the hand
of the mother, said, “Please accept this trifle as
a token of my regard and esteem, for your little
girl has done me a kindness no wealth can ever
repay. And remember, whenever yon are in
want, you will find in me a true friend.” at the
same time giving her his name and address.
Taking her child by the hand, she turned to
go, but, pausing at the door, said:
“God bless you, gentlemen ! Accept the heart
felt thanks of a poor, friendless woman for the
kindness and courtesy yon have shown her.
Before any could reply, she was gone.
On the occasion of Messrs. Moody and Sankey’s
visit to Liverpool, Mr. Moody spent some time
in answering written questions. Among them
were the following:
“ What would you advise a minister to do with
a member of bis church who is addicted to
strong drink ?”
“ W ell, the minister should go to him in love,
and seek to win him from it; and let the minis
ter himself set the example by giving up the use
of intoxicating liquors.’’
“Should wine merchants be admitted into
church membership?”
“ I do not want to do any unjustifiable injury
lo wine merchants or publicans; but I answer,
No. It is doing their own soul harm if we lull
them into thinking that their traffic is all right
by admitting them. I am sure none of them
would wish to remain in church. They would
find it too hot for them.”
“One of the members of my congregation is
a publican—a quiet, well-meaning man, but by
his trade he is ruining the souls of thousands.
What can I do about him?”
“ Well, I should preach faithfully, and make
the place so hot that ho would either have to
give up his church or his business.”
I “ A young man professing to be a Christian,
i and who is employed in the spirit trade, has
j been shaken in his conscience, and wishes to

INFLUENCE.
Every Christian is responsible for the influ
ence he exerts. The very power to create an
influence is a matter of responsibility. Indeed,
it would seem that the withholding of our efforts
will constitute one leading cause of our final
condemnation. Here let me appeal to you,
dearly beloved in the Lord; does not the dis
tance at which most religious people have stood
from temperance societies tacitly condemn them ?
Is there not a virtual censure pronounced on
them bj’ the very fact that so few decidedly
pious people are enlisted in their ranks? When
we see such a large portion of the temperance
societies in England in the hands of merely
moral characters, is there not the suspicion
awakened that the espousal of those societies is
incompatible with pure and undefiled religion ?
The fact is indisputable, that the indiflerence of
the church has been the greatest hindrance to
the spread of total abstinence. Whether it be a
matter of joy or sorrow, I say not; but it is a
truth that many, very many, persons are pre
pared, almost implicitly, to adopt any practice
which the churches of Christ sanction, and to
repudiate what those churches proscribe. I
grieve to say that vast religious influence has
been exerted in favor of the ruinous drinking
customs of this country; whereas that inflnence
ought to have nerved the efforts of temperance
societies; by being withheld, it has too often
palsied them. Bat what saith the scripture?
Let two quotations suffice: “If any man know-
eth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is
sin.” Again: “ If thou forbear to deliver them
that are drawn nnto death, and those that are
ready to be slain; if thou sayest, Behold, we
knew it not; doth not he that pondereth the
heart consider it ? and he that keepeth thy soul,
doth not he know it ? and shall not he render to
every man according to his works ?” Here we
learn that the operation of a selfish spirit, the
bare omissions of charity, excite the anger of
God. Oh! what teeming multitudes are, through
strong liquor, drawn to death, and are ready to
be slain in eternity ! It cannot be said we know
