GOUGH ON TEMPERANCE.
At Woodstock, Connecticut, on
a 4, John B. Gough delivered an
resson temperance. It is pub
lished in the Independent, from
which we make the following ex
tracts:
Forty years ago and more I spoke
West Woodstock, and I was
entertained by Marsh (?) Nelson
Childs, and I met his daughter on
the grounds here to-day. A Mr.
Kibbe sole rum, and Mr. Pool, who
was a member of the church, sold
rum also, and he said Kibbe had all
the drunkards, while he only sold
respectable people. That was for
ty years ago, and still it is the same
old story. People say Gough is a
mere story-teller Who can’t tell
a story? I never have been in a
school since I was ten and a half
years of age; neither a Sunday-
school nor a day school. I had no
literally acquirements, nothing to
fall back upon; but I had a story to
tell. It was a story of crime, a story
of gloom, a story of sunshine, a sto
ry of God’s infinite mercy, a story
of every word which I felt in the
deepest depths ot my own soul. I
began to tell the story and I contin
ued to tell the story, and I thank
God there are some who, through
stories, have been able to make the
remaining chapters in the stories of
there lives better. So it is the same
old story.
THE LiqjJOR TRAFFIC.
I will tell you my idea of the liq
uor tratlic and briefly. God forgive
me, I do not speak it boastingly, for
my sin is ever before me; seven
years of my life was a dark blank. 1
' now what the burning appetite for
stimulant is; I know all about it and
I have sat by the dying bedside of
drunkards, I have held their hands
in mine; 1 have tried to lead them
at the last gasp to the Saviour, who
never turned any away that came to
him; and yet, in the light of my own
experience and the experience of oth
ers that I have received through my
observation I could say: Father in
Heaven, if it be thy will that man
shall suffer, what ever scemcth good
in thy sight of temporal evil, impose
it on me let the bread on affliction
be given to me to eat; take from me
the friends of my, old age let the hut
of poverty be my dwelling-place;
let the wasting hand of disease be
liad upon me; let me walk in the
whirlwind, live in the storm; let
the passing away of welfare be like
the flowing of a stream and the
shouts of enemies like rain on the wa
ters when I speak good let evil come
on me do all this, but save me merci
ful God, save me from a bed of a
drunkard. And yet, as I shall an
swer Thee in the day of judgement,
I had rather he the veriest sot that
ever reeled through your streets
than I would be the man that sold
him the liquor for a month. [Ap

In New York, a very respectable
man, accept for one thing,occasional
intoxication, went into a saloon and

his wife a blow that killed her He
THE COLOR LINE AT THE NORTH.
The Chicago Times has some
pretty still' notions for a journal of
its clime and political creed upon
the color question. Discussing the
recent civil rights decision, it says:
‘•The color line is a social river
of blood between two distinct races
that cannot be obliterated. From
social life it passes inevitably into
political life, and there, also, there
is no potency of human laws that
can erase it. Government power
can make the negro and the white
man -equal before the law,’ but it
cannot op.-n to the negro the white
man’s favor, nor the white man’s
political trust.
‘•The negro as a member of the
political body recedes in the good
opinion of even the northern white
men who a few years ago were
loudest in professing belief in his
political fitness. Ten or fifteen
years ago a negro was here and
there elected by a northern constit
uency to some petty otlice. No
one hears of such an occurrence
now. As a factor in the political
life in this part of the country, the
negro has been at last dropped.”
The sixteen ex-slave states spend
over .$15,000,000:1 year for public
schools.
Gen. Hancock is now so far re
covered from his sickness that he is
able to sit up several hours each day.
••A good, bold, bad man,” is the

The negroes have just had a very
creditable industrial fair at Raleigh,
N. C. This is far better than whi

We understand that about one

he, “I didn’t know it was your son.”
“You did; you knew that it was
Frederick Faulker, the only son of
an old crippled widow; and you
killed my boy.” ‘-Mrs. Faulkner,
that is pretty hard language!” She
said to me: “God forgive ine. I
laid my hand on the dead face of my
boy, and I lifted my finger and
cursed him. He turned white as a
sheet and left the house.”
After relating the story, I said:
“Ladies and gentlemen, Solomon
Parsons, the man who staggers
through life under the weight of that
old woman’s curse, is in the house,
and sits over there, and he keeps a
grog shop in your city. Rout him
out! He had a license under the
law, but the public routed him out
within three days—bar, boxes, bot
tles, barrels and everything else.
They said: “You can’t stay here.”
That is public sentiment.” [Ap

They are about to court martial a
the morning to wake him up, sleep

I never was
in jail before in my life.
Why—why—why you got me

that?” “Yes, I do.” “And I killed
anybody?” “Yes.” “O, my God?
What will become of me? Say, tell
me! Docs my wife know it?”
“Why! It is your wife you have
killed.” lie dropped on the floor of
the cell like a dead man. The keep
er of that prison holds a license to
sell liquor, and the sheriff who will
hang him, if ever he is hung, owns
the place where he keeps his liquor
shop. If you punish the one, why
not punish the other?

John Kelley is suffering from a se

much better off had Kelley been
given a sore throat by the public
executioner long ago. We hope he
will die and get out of the way.
The democratic presidents were;
Andiew Jackson, Martin Van
Burcn, James K. Polk, Franklin
Pierce and James Buchanan. Jef

ever, are also claimed by the demo

It occurred in your own State, in
the city of Norwich, when Mr.
Buckingham, who has lett so grand
a reputation behind him, v.-as the
mayor of that city. I spoke in the
large railroad depot. I had a very
large audience. Mr. Buckingham
presided at the meeting, i knew
whom 1 had in that house, and at
the conclusion of my speech I said:
Ladies and gentlemen. Mrs. Faul
kner is well known to many in this
house. She is a crippled woman: a
widow. Her only son became in
temperate, and site told me when
lie signed the pledge my heart was
glad.” lie said to her: ‘Dear
mother, I am going to get out of the
way of temptation. I know my
own weakness, I am not going to
stay among the boys. I am going
off.” lie was gone two years.
Good things were heard of him,and
then there came a letter to his moth
er; “1 am coining home to spend
Thanksgiving with you.” “My boy
is coming home for Thanksgiving.
He shall have a Thanksgiving din
ner, though there be but two. He
shall have the turkey and chicken
and pie and custards. lie shall
have everything as if there were a
score of us; my boy arid I.” lie
came home on the night before
Thanksgiving, and drove up to a
tavern kept by by a man named
Parsons- lie went in the bar room.
There were his old companions.
IIcllo, Fred Faulkner, llow are

are you, “Charlie?” “Take some
thing. to drink?’ “I don’t want any
thing.” “Take it. It's the night
before Thanksgiving* Faulkner.” “I
tell you I don’t wan’t it. I have
come home to sec my mother, and
when it gets a little darker, I will go
around to the back door and sur
prise the old lady.” Then Mr.
Parsons steps up. “11a! ha! ha! ha!
man. If I was a man six feet tall,
and as broad in proportion as you
arc, I would go into theology.”
“Who’s a coward? I am not a
coward.” “Yes, you are, afraid of
a glass of liquor. Ha! ha! ha! ha! (
Fred Faulkner is afraid of a glass of
liquor.” “No, I am not afraid. I
told my mother I wouldn’t dr.nk."
“Oh he is afraid of his mother.”
“Don’t chaff me? If you say I am
afraid, to show you I am not, if you
agree not to ask me to take another
glass, I’ll do it” He took one glass,
and anothe, and another, and no-
ther, and about midnight he stag
gered out into the barn, and was
found there in the morning—dead!
He was carried to his mother’s house
on a plank with a buffalo robe
thrown over his body. “Oh, he
shall have a Thanksgiving dinner.

Fair-haired women with large
dark eyes inevitably receive the
highest meed of praise. Of this
type is Miss . The lady has a
face that might easily look upon the
canvas of the old mastors—eyes
that sparkle and glow with that
deep, hidden tire, which belongs to
few; a complexion, to which the
delicate rose might well aspire, and
dimples which come and go about a
mouth whose sweet expression
works sure devastation. Miss is
as lovely as a fair June morning.
