Oh! How Sad.
“There are men who take a part

delight in getting men drunk,” s;
gentleman to a Times reportei ml,
morning. “I never helped to get bu
one man intoxicated, and I shall re
■ gret my part in that disgraceful act ti
my last day,”
“Why so?” inquired a friend,
j “In the first place, because of .the
ruin it wrought; in the second pi'
because of its contemptible meant
It was this way: A friend of mi
a young a an of great piomise, 1
giving up drinking, which was fu
"recking the hgpes his friends had
felt for his future, in order to set
down in business and prepare for rna
riage. He abstained from liquor fc
nearly a year, and then satisfied that
lie had reformed, the young woman he
loved became his wife. I was present
at the wedding and I nan truthfully
say that I never saw ah hiever expect
to see a happier couple cJ^'oue that be
gau married life under (.fighter au
spices. IIis business was tlourisbiuv :
and they took possession of a beautiful;
little home at once. All went well for i
several weeks, One night I, and a
number of others, met him on Brough
tm street. We w'ero in a particularly
good humor—in fact we had drank
just enough to make us fell jolly. He
refused persistently to take anytbim
for awhile but at last yielded to o f
continued solicitations. At first
called for sarsaparilla. We laugh
at t. at aud when the whisky w
handed down poured him out a goo
drink. lie fumbled with the glass fc
awhile hut his courage gave way be
fore our sneering witticisms and ho
drank it down. Then he tried to
break away We were in for a night
ot fun, though, and didn’t propose O
Glow him to escape so easily. It u
aid w -k nit not quite so difficu
as at first, but we finally got ths s

came back and he was oneef the boys .1
“I don’t know how much we drink
When midnight came we were all iri
a decidedly mellw condition, and he,
poor fellow, was gibbering away as
foolishly as an ape. Even then I felt
some compunction and recissled the
resolution to take him home and prop
llion in tlie doorwav. I wanted to
sober him up at a hotel. The others i
finally per.uaded me io accept their
plan. We reached his liouie early in
the morning. There was a light in
the parlor, and drunk as I was, I
my heart growing heavy as 1 thought
of the young wife whose face had
far had no shadow cast upon it. I
knew what a terrible shock tlie
realization of her husband’s
would be to her. There was no

ourselves up we held him and rang t’
d-jor bell. In a moment the d

her, her teeth bit down on her
until it seemed as if they would ca

the bravado of the crowd was
now. No one said a word except h|
husband, and he, poor fellow, looks
up at her with the eyes of a fool as .
murmured, ‘Ilow-de sweetheart.’ j
“I don’t know how lie did it, Lit

Don’t be Mean. Boy8.
Sometimes I wonder what a mean
man thinks about when he goes to beds
When he turns down the light and lies
down alone, he is the compelled to be
honest with himself. Not a bright
thought, not a generous impulse, not a
word of blessing, not a grateful look
comes back to him, not a penny drop¬
ped into the palm of poverty, not the
balm of a loving word dropped into an
aching heart, no sun beams of encour
agement cast upon a struggling life,
no strong right hand of fellowship
reached out ^ h< ]p some fallen man
to his feet—when none of those things
come to him as the “God bless you”
of the departed day, how tie must hate
himself, how lie must try to roll away
from himself, how he must try to roll
away from himself and sleep on the
other side of the bed, when the only
victory he can think ot is some mean
victory, in, in which lie has
neighbor. No wonder lie alway
sneers when he tries to smile, How
pure, and fair, and good all the rest
of the world must look to him, and
how careless and dreary must his own
fate appear! Why; even one isoloted
act of meanness is enough to scatter
cracker crumbs in the bid of an ordi¬
nary mim, and what must be the feel¬
ings of a miui whose whole life is
given up to mean acts? When there
is so much suffering, and heartache,
and misery in tne world, anyhow, why
should anyone add a pound of wicked¬
ness or sadness to the general burden?
Don’t be mean, boys. Suffer injustice
a thousand times rather than commit.

Cold Waves.

ol rheumatism dread every change to
damp or stormy weather’ Although
Hood’s .Sarsaparilla is not claimed to be a
positive specific for rheumatism, the re¬
markable cures it has effected show that it
may be taken for this complaint with
reasonable certainty of benefit. Its action
in neutralizing the ecidity of the blood;
which is too cause of rheumatism, con
stitutes the secret of the success of Hood’s
Sarsaparilla. If you suffer from rhouwa -
tisin, give Hood's Sarsaparilla a fair (rial
it will do you good.
