Subscribe for The Entebirjse. Let Us Fight the Demon Drink. Editors Enteukrire: We appre¬ ciate the article in your last issue <m the subject of whisky, and we are glad to see some one take hold of the subject and tell what he thinks and feels it his duty to do. Men are noeded in tins town who will do all in their power to drive out all pois¬ onous and intoxicating drinks. Men are needed who will join the temper¬ ance army and fight the demon rum. We think the temperance ship is ly¬ ing at anchor in Carnesvillo, from the way things are moving on this fall, but we hope the good citizens will hoist her sails, that she may move off in the right direction. Wine is a mocker, and strong drink is raging, and whosoever is deceived thereby is not wise.” All have some influence. There is not a man so low in the world but what there is some one who will fol¬ low his examples, whether good or evil. Away up among the Alleghanies there is a spring so small that a single ox on a summer’s day could drain it dry. It steals its unobtrusive way among the hills, till it spreads out in¬ to the beautiful Ohio. Thence it stretches away ,v thousand miles, leaving “n its banks more than a hun¬ dred villages and cities and many a cultivated farm, then joining the Mississippi it stretches away some twelve hundred miles more, till it falls into the emblem of eternity. It is one of the greatest tributaries to the ocean, which, obedient only to God, shall roar till the angel with one foot on the sea and the other on the land, shall swear that time shall be no longer. So with moral influence. It is a rill—a rivulet—an ocean, and as boundless and fathomless as eter¬ nity. The stone flung from my care¬ less hand into the lake splashed down into the depths of the flowing water, and that was all. No, it was not all. Look at those concentric rings, roll¬ ing their tiny ripples among the sedgy reeds, dippling the overhanging hows of yonder willow, and producing an influence, slight hut conscious, to the very shore of the lake itself. That whisky drinker, that wine drinker, it doesn’t matter how low nor how high in the world he maybe—it does not matter whether he L an educated man or an uneducated man—he will produce a momentary depression on some poor soul, lie will influence some weak-minded person to sip from the eup which is poison aud has brought many a smart man to dis¬ grace and sorrow. A Stthknt’s First Letter. On With the Fight. Editors Entehcrisk —In the last issue of your paper you make war on whisky-drinking and drunkenness. 1 write to heartily endorse the position you take, and the war you propose to wage. I am with you in the fight. The purpose of this communication is not to discuss the question, but that the public may know that you are not alone in your effort to put from our midst one of the greatest enemies that infest our homes and our country. On with the fight, sound the battle cry, and depend upon me to march to the music and charge when the command is given. R. B. (). England.

See the orator in Sii* glory. attracts, lie wins, ho lives the atteu- tion. lie holds vast assemblies spell- bound under the influence of his mag¬ ical words. lie carries them away in the flow of his thought and the swell of his emotion. This is do- queue*, and it is indeed a glory and a power. But it is as transitory ;1S the wandering breeze that our senses as it sheds its fragrance around us, while it “whispers whence it stole those balmy spoils.” The breath of the orator is lost on the waves of the air, and when death shuts Jus Jips li« hold upon the world is over. 11 is power passes like a dream away, and his glory dims in the halo of the departing dream. So it u il! be with many a Cicero of our bar and senate. How dim on the pages of the CoH;/rtn«it»ntd GMx will appear a century hence many a speaker whose name to-day is a household word! It is indeed a grand gift to make the fleeting breath become the immediate interpreter of the invisible thought. But when the utterance is done the echoes of the breath are as invisible as the flight of the thought. Writing and printing alone insure ubiqnitv and eternitv of being. The pen 1 ami the press'are 1 the agencies by winch thought endures. , Looks alone, as D’Avcnant has said of them, are the ever-present “monuments of vanished minds.” Not such inonli¬ incuts as the stone sarcophagus, in whose vaults lies the withered mum¬ my shut in forever from the whisper of winds and the gleam of stars. But living records that keep the thought forever fresh and blooming as the summer flowers. But for Vir¬ gil's pen the hero of the Trojan war would he as dead to the world of thought to-day as the dust that cov¬ ers the ruins where once Ilium’s min¬ arets gleamed. Ferhnps the “blind old man of Seio” never made a speech, while the royal commander eloquently harangued the forces that bcleagured the sea-washed walls of the doomed city. For immediate power oratory is king, but he w ho would live ou to future times must preserve his brain in ink. Hence it has been well raid writing is the “art preservative of all arts.” WEDIII7G GIFTS. Nothing shows the disparities and maddening contrasts of our common life more than what we call wedding gifts. Let a rich couple marry in one of our populous cities, and see what a multitude of presents rich and rare are poured in upon them. The upholsterer is ordered to array his finery and display his taste. A pal- ace opens its doors to receive the fortunate couple. Silver service, dinner sets, ornaments of gold in lav- i.*h profusion, precious stones of un- told value, and even bank checks for liberal thousands— all these are heap- ed upon and around them, And why is all this, O perverse human Why this lavish flood of gifts upon the happy pair? Simply because they don’t need them! Note the contrast. Lot a poor young couple marry in the same city. No fine presents come crowding in for them. They may be as refined, as educated, as intelligent, and as worthy of regard and esteem as the other couple. The groom may he (as Ophelia said of Hamlet) “the of fashion and the mould of the observed of all observers;” and the bride may he as fair and sweet as sculptor or painter ever dreamed of transferring in ideal to marble or canvas,—beau- tiful as poet ever conceived in the rich warm luxury of fancy’s passion. All this they may he. No matter. arc poor in this world’s goods, therefore ostracized from such social recognition as gifts in ay he pre¬ sumed to vouchsafe. And why? Because they need them. AYhat was thrown away on the other couple would have made these rich. () thoughtless world! () sunlight and shadow! 0 life and death! O me and you and everybody! Would it not ho a fine thing if men and women sought for only some¬ thing good to say about their neigh¬ bors, instead of being on the eternal hunt for something had to tell? Gos¬ sip is a had egg, and nine cases out of ten either prejudice or pure ma- lignity is the old speckled hen that lavs j,,* it. And then what a cackling the barnyard J.,..... till other hens ,,,„ ters Ko oa refrain, and all the ambient thrilled and horrified with the dis- sonant sounds! ADMINISTRATOR'S SALK.
