THORNS AND THISTLES.
“Do men gather grapes of thorn, or
flgs of thistles'?”
A poor and sged inebriate
Whose sun is setting fast,
Thinjy clad bis palsied limbs
Though fierce the wintry blast;
Out in toe night without a home,
Shrilly the keen wind whistles—
Me n never gather grapes from thorns,
Nor ever llgs from tbis les.
No doubt this freezing, starving wretch
Was once a handsome boy,
And d itit g parents counted him
Their chief and brightest ioy*
But heestrayed from vitjtny'&paths,
Desp’te words-e.r.d epistles—
Men never gather grapes from thorns,
Nor ever tigs from thistles.
His harvest past! his summer gone?
He gropes amid the gloom
That gathers from that horrid place—
The wretched drunkard’s tomb.
A deadly poison permeates >.
Hie very bones and gristles—
Mon never gather grape3 from tborne,
. Nor ever figs from thistles.
Foredoomed thou goest to the bar
Of tby oBended God.
Thy poor, sin-blasted form shall rest
Beneath dishonored scd.
In vain thou strugglest with the tide,
Hoiror thy grey hair bristles—
Thou canst not gather grapes and figs,
Who sowed but thorns and thistles.
No marble slab by loving friends
Will e’er be raised for thee;
No band for thee will ever plant
The weeping willow tree,
No mourner’s tear for thee is shed,
The wind thy requiem whistles;
No llower wave above thv head—
Nothing hut thorns and thistles.

SILENCE ABOUT OURSELVES.
Think as little as possible about any good
in yourself; turn your eyes resolutely from
any view of your acquirements, your influ
ence, y.>ur plan, your success, your follow
ing—above all, speak as little as possible
about yourself- The inordinatem ss of our
self-love makes spctcli about ourselvts
like the putting of a lighted torch to the
dry wood which has been laid jj>. order for
burning. NoJJrtBg-bflTduly should open
our lioa^ffSoaibis dangerous theme, ex-
pt it he in humble confession of our sin-
fuiuess belore God.
Again, be specially on the watch against
those little tricks by which the vain man
s.eksto bring round the conversation to
himself, and gain the piaise or notice
which his thirsty ears drink in eogreedny.
Even if praise comes unsought, it is well,
while men are uttering it, to guaid your
self by thinking of some secret cause for
humbling yourself inwstdiy to God, think
ing uuto what these pleasant accents would,
be changed if all that is known to God,
and even to yourself, aloud revealed to
tram
Place yourself often beneath the cross ol
Calvary; see that sight «>f love and sorrow;
hear those wordaot wonder; look at the
Eternal Son bumbling himself there for
you, and ask yourself, as you goze fixedly
on him, whether he, whose only hope is
in that ct oss of absolute self-sacrifice and
self-(basement, can dare to cherish in him-
«elf one suit-complacent action. Let the

BEER VS. STRONGER LIQUORS.
We observe that some of our contem
poraries in treating of the temperance
question are laying special emphasis on
the evils wrought by distilled liquors,
They speak of th? annihilation of the
‘‘traffic in distilled'liqurrs,” as an end
greatly to be desired, leaving us to in
fer of course, that the traffic in wines
and malt liquors mac be allowed to go
on as before, not being specially harm
ful. It is too late in Hie day of reform
to talk about a union of effort in tern
perance work based on any such weak
and fot licit itieory as this.
In itteory there is considerable differ
ed between the results of drinking
islilled liquors and drinking beer ana
butin practice there is none. The
laws of many state* make a dis
tinction between saloons licensed to
sell distilled liquors and saloons licensed
to Sell wine and beer only, but who that
knows any thing about the saloon busi
ness does not know that this distinction
is the merest and thinnest pretence.
The liquor stores sell beer and the beer
shops sell liquor, and they are all one
and the same in their character and re
sults.
The Idea that, beer is a comparitivelv
harmless drink has long since heeit
abandoned by all intelligent, earnest,
and genuine temperance men. Beer is
now the drink of the m tsses in this
country as well as in Germany, and we
believe that it is doing more today to
impoverish, debauch, and ruin the peo
ple than all other intoxicating drinks
combined. Beer is an unwholesome,
d i seasc-breed i ng, brai n -destroy ing
dring, and any proposed reform move
ment that overlooks it or attempts to
discriminate in its favor might as well
stop before it begins.—[The Christain
at Work.
ATRIGEDY.
To be sure it is a fearfully common
one, yet none the less mournful for all
that.
A human life has just closed in our
community—a life reaching near three
score and cen years—all worse than
wasted.
A man of gne intellect, of generous
impulses, belonging to one of our best
families, has lived and died, causing
only sorrow and regret to those w o
loved him.
A lonely out cast, and he might have
been a noble man, loved and blessed by
all.
In his father’s house, sipping the
wine left in glasses by his father’s gnest,
he first learned the power of the “mock
er.” In the deacon’s distillery he was
given the whiskey which, the work
men said, ‘ made the bright little fel
low too droll and funny for anything.”
In the saloons, licensed by law, the
education went on, and now, after a
life of shame, the dying hour has come
— and after death the judgement.
The deacon turned from bis evil way
too late for his victim, but the sa
loons continue their work of death.

It has been conjectured that the se
cret of antediluvian longevity was
some method of keeping the blood pure,
warm, and vigorous. Moderns accom
plish the same purpose by using Ayer’s
Sarsaparilla—the best blood medicine
ever brought to light.
Most of the books in our libraries are
dead books. Our text-books in science, all
our text-books have to he revised every
five years. An old edition is worthless, is
misleading ; to the paper-makers with it
What we regarded as fixed principles in
political economy, which we learned ol
Adam Smith or John Stuart Mill, and sup
posed to be settled, are now ail reversed 01
all modified. Sciences, arts, cbuuge.—
There is notbing so worthless as an old
encyclopedia. It needs an appendix every
year. Even iu the latest ‘‘Britannicn,” il
we look up » word like “Australia” in the
early volumes of nearly twenty years ago,
we are only misled. The book is dead, and
the living world has left it behind.
What is it that gives this one Book its
vital power? Wherein does it differ irom
ibeotber dead bonks and living books, u«.i
one of which has ever bad any life that
can compare with tbis?
Partly tbis, that il is the world’s om
great book of duty. Facts perish or ciiange.
duty remains, it is the one book not loi
ibe intelligence but lor the conscience, li
informs uswbout what we owe to God and
wbut we owe to one another. Now tba>
is something that does not glow old.
The life of the Bible is iu its appeal to
the heart, not to the teasoD; in its demands
oQ Ibe conscience, not in its instruction ol
'the intelligence, its histories or its geneal
ogies. Because the Bibie has told uswlia 1
the world most warns to know, what i>
right, what is wiong, what is duty, what i.-
sin, what we must do to be saved, there
fore every year adds to it more vigor, mou
lif.-, more influence in the world.
But we must mention one other reason
why the Bible exbibiis a file other and
greater Ilian any other hook of authority.
Not only does the duty it diclares tell mat
he must, but this book speaks with thi
voice of God. God speaks in it. Iu ii
God reveals himself, speak9 to us, tells us,
with all his infinite auihoriiy, what w<
must do, gives bis own inspiration to bis
Book, fids it with himself, so that when
the Book speaks to us, God himselt speaks
to us. Here is the great distinction be
tween this and alt other books. Otbei
books speak muo’s word, a good or wiae
man’s word, perhaps, to us, and ask om
judgment on them. This book comes Irom
God aud asks not cur judgment, but com
mands our obedience.

EDUCATED FOR HEAVEN.
There are many people who seem to en
tertain the idea that all the education
which Christians obtain is simply for ust
in this wotld, and that wLen iltey die, it is
mostly left behind them. But this is evi
dently a mistake. It is doubtless true thai
quite a good deal of Ihe knowledge which
Christians obtain is of nouseiu heaven,
either to them or to any one else. But th<
effects of all good education which a be
liever receives in this world will doubtles-
be felt and enjoyed hy himself snd others
in the b< avenly world. A good salutary
education enlarges one’s mental and spir
itual powers, and thus fits him to appre
ciate what be otherwise could not. It is
not a mere speculation to suppose that a
thoroughly educated Christian, when be
comes to enter beuven, will appreciate its
b. auties and treasures, and God and Chtisi
much more than one whose education is
very limited. We may say that a Chris
tian, who has made a special and devout
study of the Bible for forty or fifty years,
will have a finer and clearer apprehension
of the thoughts and the things which make
heaven what it is, than one whose religious
education is confined to the merest rudi
ments of divine revelation.
SECRET OF A HAPPY HOME.

the carpet is clean and not old, and the
furniture polished and br.ght.mto ‘ rooms’
where the chairs are neat aud the flo .r
carpetless, into ••kitchens” where the fam
ily live and the meals are cooked and eaten
and the boys and girls are as blithe as the
sparrows in the thatch overhead; aud I see
that it is not so much wealth and learning,
nor clothing, nor servants, nor toil, nor
town nor cour.t»y, nor station, as tone and
temper that render homes happy or wtetci -
ed. And I see, too, that iu town or coun
try good sense and God’s grace make life
what no teachers or accomplishments, no
means or society, can make it—the open
ing stave of an everlastii g p-alm, ti e fair
beginning of an end'jits existence,the good
ly, modest, well-proportioned vestibule to
a temple of God’s building that shall
never decay, wax old, or vanish away.—

THEY STOLE CHICKENS,
But Were Bagged Friday Night by a
posse
- Stealing chickens is getting to be
the greatest nuisance tbis section of the
country is subjected to, but our citizens
are deter joined to break up the nefarious
practice. The thieves seem to be well or
ganized, and are hard to detect, hut
Friday night Messrs. Henry Sims, Wi 1
Lester and Frank McLeroy got in some
go>>d work While the rain was fall
ing in torrents they slipped up on ade a
of negroes engaged in thej business at
their rendezvous which is located im
mediately in .the resr of Mount
Zion church, just beyond the
city limits. George Sheats made a held
dash for liberty. He is doubtless the
leader of the band. Several shots were
fired at him as he ran, none of which
seemingly to^k effect. Will Sheats,
NanoySheats, and Will Prior Sheats
were arrested, and are now in Clarke
county jail. For some time this band
have been camping after the manner
of Gypsies, making chicken stealing
their profession, and they wiU be called
to account for this mode of living.
They would appropriate nnytbiBg that
wa- convenient when toey were on
the r raids and their arrest was made
none too soon. It is believed that Geo.
Sheats, who escaped is wounded, and
this will probably lead to bis arrest.
JACK THE RIPPER.
He is Caught at Last and Confessed
the Crimes.
Melbourne, March 26.—Considerable
excitement is caused here by the state
ment published by the Argus which de
clared Demming, the murderer, had
made a confession.
There has been strong suspicion en
tertained here and in England that
Demoting is none other than the notori'
ous "Jack the Ripper, ” the slayer of the
Whitechapel, London, outcasts, and
this suspicion iB borne out in a measure
not only bj’ Demming’s appearance,
which closely tallies with the descrip
tion given of the Whitechapel fiend, but
by his alleged confession.
The Argns is a reliable newspaper,
and there is no reason to doubt the
truthfulness of the statement it makes
that Demming has acknowledged that
he killed his wife and four children at
Dinham; at Rain Hill, near Liverpool,
that he murdered and mutilated the last
two women, whose bodies were found
in the purlins of While chapel although
he has confessed that these two White
chapel women fell victims to his mauia
for murder, while not denying, does not
admit that he killed the other White
chapel women whose murders at the
time attracted the attention of the
whole world.
It is believed, however, that when he
finds all hope of escape from the clutch
es of the law cut off, he will confess not
only to these mnnlers, hut others of
which the police know nothing.
In his confession, The Argus says
Demming makes no mention of his ob
ject of mutilating the bodies of his
White Chapel victims and removing
certain of the organs; hut, it adds,
there is scarcely a doubt that the man
is i fflieted with a disease similar in
some respects to nymphomania.
Russell Harrison u Journalist.
Washington, March 26.—Russell B.
Harrison, the son of the president, was
formally admitted to the press galleries
of the two houses by the press commit
tee as the Washington correspondent of
The Journal, his paper at Helena,
Mont. Thereupon a score of the news
paper men euti.led to admission to the
gallery signed a request to the press
committee to reconsider the action ta
ken.
No ground was given, but it is sup
posed that the Protestauts object on the
ground that Harrison is an agent or
or representative of persons or corpora
tions having legislation before congress,
or that his chief attention is not given
to newspaper correspondence, although
he certified under the rules iu writing
to the contrary in each case. His ad'
mission will most probably stand.

ing that Texas representatives in con
gress work for the free coinage of silver
A few days later the senate adopted a
substitute designating tariff reform as
the paramount issue in Democratic pol
icy. Now, tlio house has rejected the
senate substitute by a vote of 53 to 38.
MYSTERIOUS:
To clasp a hand in honest friendship
one day and on the next to receive a
distant bow* and a glance of mysterious
reproach are often very hard and so
often very cruel yet how many of such
people we come in contact with. This
is not a make up rf skiff the Jeweler he
will as cordially receive you tomorrow
a3 he has today and will give you just
as good bargains in jew^rly watete',
Silverwrr*, etr at s d *t«* t 'a*, as ha
will to day. Every day' alike to * very
bodv. The less people thirk ‘f their
greatness the more we think uf them.
I come to you with a small affair
r.hat you may need. In England, the
ontinent and many foreign coun
tries, myself and wares are well
known. Many American families on
their return from abroad bring my
articles with them, for they know
them pretty well, but you may not be
one of these.
Confidence between man and man
is slow of growth, and when found,
its rarity makes it valuable I ask
your confidence and make a reference
to ihis Journal to indorse that con
fidence. I do not think it will be
miap’aced. g
I make the best form of a cure
an absolute one—for billiousness and
headache that can be found in this
year The cure is so small in itself,
and yet its comfort to you is so great
-20 minutes being its limit when re
lief comes—that it has become the
marvel of its time One and a half
grains of medicine, coated with sugar,
is n»y remedy, in the shape of one
small pill, known to commerce as I/R.
