slnin, nplMona of the slain. No arithmetic
can calculate their number.
Once upon a time four fiends met in the
lost world. They resolved that the people
of our eurth were too happy, and these
four internals came forth to our earth on
embassy of mischief. The one fiend said,
“I’ll take charge of the vineyards.” An
other said, 111 take charge of the grain
fields. Another said, “I II take charge of
the dairy. Another said, “I’ll take charge
of the music.” The four fiends met in the
great Sahara desert, with skeleton fingers
clutehed each other in handshake of lldel
ity, kissed each other goodby with lip of
blue flame and parted on their mission.
The fiend of the vineyard came in one
bright morning amid the grapes and sat
down on a root of twisted grapevine in
sheer discouragement. The fiend knew
not how to damage the vineyard, or,
through it, how to damage the world,
The grapes were so ripe and beautiful
and luscious. They bewitched the air with
their sweetness. There seemed to be so
much neaith in every bunch, and while
the fiend sat there in utter indignation
U and disappointment he clutched a cluster
i and squeezed it in perfect spite, and, lo!
j his hand was red with the blood of the
vineyard, and the blood fiend said: “That re
minds me of the of broken hearts,
I’ll strip the vineyard, and I'll squeeze out
all the juice of the grapes, and I’ll allow
the juices of the grapes to stand until they
I rot, and I’ll call the process fermentu
I tion.” And there was a great vat pre
I pared, and people came with their cups
1 and their pitchers, and they dipped up the
blood of the grapes, and they drank and
| drank drank and until went they away fell in drinking, long lines and of death, the^
1 so tbni when the fiend of the vineyard
wanted to return to his homo in the pit
he stepped from carcass to carcass and
walked down amid a great causeway of
the dead.
Then the second' fiend came Into the
I graiufleld. He waded chin deep amid the
I barley and about the rje. He heard nil the grain
I talking bread and prosperous bus
bandry and thrifty homes. He thrust his
I long arms into thegrainfield, and he pulled
I up the grain and threw it into the water,
and he made beneath it great fires—fires
lighted with a spark from his own heart—
and tliere were a grinding and a mashing
and st–neh, and the people came with their
1 bottles, and they dipped upthe blasphemed, fiery liquid,
and they drank, and they and
they staggered, and they fought, and they
rioted, thepit, and fiend they murdered, and the fiend of
B the of thegrainfield, was so
iiis pleased with their behavior that he changed
Brel, residence from the pit to a whisky bar
B and there he sat by the door of the
I bunghole laughing in high merriment at
thfe thought that out of anything so harm
I ■ less as the grain of the field he might turn
this world into a seeming pandemonium.
The fiend of the dairy sawthe cows com
ing home from the pasture field, lull ud
dered, and as the maid milked he said, “I’ll
B brandy, soon spoil all and that mess, and I’ll add to it
sugar nutmeg, I’ll stir it
B into a milk punch, and children will drink
it and some of the temperance people will
B drink it, and if I can do them mqre harm
I’ll give them a headache, and then I’ll
B hand them over to the more vigorous fiends
B of the Satanic delegation.” And then tho
B fiend of the dairy "the leaped upon the shelf
and danced until long row o" shining
almost quaked.
Tho fiend of the music entered a grog
r shop, Finding and there were but few customers,
| few customers, he swept the cir
I cuit of the city, and he gathered up the
I musical instruments and after nightfall he
I marshaled a band, and the trombones
I blew and the cymbals clapped and the
I drums beat and the bugles called and the
people crowded in, and they swung around
I jin in merry dance, each one with a wineglass
I [and his hand, and the dance became wilder
B IsUook stronger and rougher, until the room
I [broke and the glasses cracked and the floor
[ and tho crowd dropped into hell.

I [dairy and of the grainfleld and of the
and of the music hall—went back to

liei goes on further and further. He can

He cannot stop
that Ob, my young friends I want to tell you
there is a point in inebriation beyond
which if a man go ho cannot stop! But
sometimes a man will bo more frank than
that. A victim of strong drink said to a
reformer: “It Is Impossible for me to
stop. IrealizeU. But if yon should tell
me I couldn’t have a drinkuntilto-mor
row off, night unless I had all my lingers cut
I would say, ‘Bring on tne hutchet and
cut them off.’ ** I hud a verv dear friend
in Philadelphia whose nephew came to him
and v/as talking about his trouble and con
fessod it. He confessed he oould not stop,
My friend said, “You must stop.” He said:
“I can't stop. If there stood a cunnon,
and it was loaded, and there was a glass
of wine in the iB”uth of the aauuon, and
I knew you would lire it off if
I approached, I would start to get that
glass of wine. I must have it. I can’t
get rid of this habit. I can’t get away
from it.” Oh, it is awful for a noun to
wake up and feel that he is a captive! I
hear him soliloquizing, saying: “I might
have stopped three months ago, but 1 can’t
stop now. Dead, but not buried; I am a
what walking corpse. I am an apparition of
I once was. Iam a caged Immortal
and my soul beats against the wires of my
cage on this sido and beats against the
wires of my cage on'the ofher side until
there is blood on the wires and blood on
the soul, but I can’t get out. Destroyed
without remedy!” >
See the attendants stand hack from that
ward in the hospital where the inebriates
are dying. They cannot stand it, The
keepers come through it and say: “Hush
up, now! Stop making this noise! Be
still! You are disturbing all the other pa
tients. Keep still now!” Then the keepers
pass on, and after they .get past then the
poor creatures wring their hands and say:
“O God! Help, help! Give me rum, give
;no rum! O God! Help! Take the devils
off of me! O God! O God!” And they
shriek and they blaspheme and they cry
for kelp and then they ask the keepers to
slay them, me!" saying: “Stab me, strangle me,
smother O God! Help, help! Bum!
Give me rum! O God! Help!” They tear
out thetr hair by the handful, and they
bite their nails into the quick. This is no
fancy picture. It is transpiring in a hos
pital at this moment. It went on last
night while you slept, and more than that,
that is tke death some of you will die un
less you stop. 1 see it coming. God help
you to stop before you go so far that you
cannot stop.
But it plagues a man also in the loss of
home. I do not care how much he loves
his wife and children, if this habit gets the
mastery over him he will do the most out
rageous things. If need be, in order to get
strong drink, he would sell them all into
everlasting captivity. There are hundreds
and thousands of homes that have been
utterly blasted of it. I am speaking of no
abstraction. Is there anything so disas
trous to a man for this life and for the life
to come? Do you tell me that a man can
be happy when he knows he is breaking
his wife’s heart and clothing his children
with rags? There are little children in the
streets to-day, barefooted, unkempt, un
combed, want written on every patch of
their faded dress and on every wripkle of
their prematurely old countenance, who
would have been in the house of God this
morning as well clad as you had it not
been that strong driDk drove their parents
down into penury and then down into the
grave. Oh, rum, rum, thou despoiler of
homes, thou foe of God, thou recruiting
officer of the pit, I hate thee!
But my subject takes a deeper tone when
It tells you that the inebriate suffers the
loss of the soul. Tho Bible intimates that
if we go into the future world unforgiven
the appetites and passions which were
regnant here will torment us there. I sup
pose when the inebriate wakes up in the
lost world there will be an infinite thirst
clawing upon him. In this world he could
get strong drink. However poor he was
in this world, be could beg or he could
steal five cents to get a drink that would
for a little while slake his thirst, but in
eternity where wifi the rum come from?
Dives wanted one drop of water, but could
not get it. Where will the inebriate get
thedrafthesomuchrequires,somuchde
mands? No one to brew it. No one to
mix it. No one to pour it. No one to
fetch it. Millions of worlds now for the
dregs that were thrown on the sawdusted
floor of the restaurant. Millions of worlds
now for the rind flung out from the punch called
bowl of an earthly banquet. Dives
for water. The inebriate calls for rum.
If a fiend from the lost world should come
up on a mission to a grogshop and, having
finished the mission in the grogshop, sboma
come back, taking on the tip of his wing
one drop of alcoholic beverage, what ex
citement it would make all through the
world of the lost, and, if that one drop of
alcoholic beverage should drop from the
wing of the fiend upon the tongue of the
inebriate, how he would spring up ami cry:
“That’s it! That’s it! Bum! Bum! That s
it!” And all the caverns of the lost would
echo with the cry: “Give it to me. Bum.
Bum!” Ab,myfnends,thoinohriate ssor- ab
row in the next world will not be tje
sence of God or holiness or ugh.; it will be
the absence of rum. “Look not upon the
wine when it is red, when it moveth itself
aright in tjie cup, for at the last it biteth
like a serpent, and it stingoth like an ad
der.”
But I must not dwell on generalities; I
must come to specifies. I dislike, Are you it astray.
If there is any sermon is a ser
mon on generalities. I want personalties.
Are you astray? Have you gone so far you
think you cannot get back? Dal I say a
lew moments ago thut a man might go to
a point in inebriation where lie could not
stop? Yes, I said it, and I reiterate it.
But I want you also to understand that
while the man himself, of his own strength,
cannot stop, God can stop any man.
You have only to lay hold of the strong
urm of the Lord God Almighty. He can
stop you.^ Many York summers Sabbath ago i went
over to New one even
ing—our church not yet being open for
the autumnal services. I went into a
room in the Fourth Ward, New Yoik,
where a religious service was being
held for reformed drunkards and I
heard a revelation that night that I had
never heard before—fifteen testimony or,twenty men
standing up and giving sue.i as
I had never heard given they not changed only
testified that their hearts had been
by the grace of God, but that the grace of
God had extinguished their thirsi. I hey
went on to say that they had reformed at
different times betore, but immediately
fallen, because they were doing the whole
work in their own strength. But as soon
as we gave our hearts to God, they saicl,
“and the love of the Lord Jesus Christ has
come into our soul the thirst has all gone,
W T e have no more disposition for strong
drink.” intemperanc
Ch, if you could only hear drumming th
with drunkards’ bones on
top of the wine cask the Dead March ot
immortal souls, you would go home and
kneel - down and pray God that rather thai
your children should eVer become the
victims of this evil habit you might carry
them out to the cemetery and put: thorn
down in the last slumber, waiting for th
flowers of spring to come over the grave

flower of comfort ever grew on the blasted
heath of a drunkard’s sepulcher?

A Hairy Tree.
J. W. Roach, who has been down in
Madison county, has made a discovery
that is a revelation to us, says the
Carnesville (Ga.) Advance. He brings
with him a fine specimen of hair that
appears to be as fine as human hair
and very strong. It is as black as jet
and as straight as a line. It grows »n
black jack trees and very luxuriantly.
It was found on the land of Dr. G. W.
Westbrooks, near Ila, and it promises
much for utility. It can be used for
weaving into cloth, stuffing collars,
buggy cushions and various other pur
poses for which strong hair is used. It
seems that in its discovery Dr. West
brooks has become the owner of a very
fine piece of property; and when it is
fully developed its uses will he many.
We will watch with much interest the
result of this discovery.
During the year 189S < ,483 permits

The Ocean Currents.
The force, speed and direction of

These reports arc indexed and class

ble Information 1 b gained about the
ocean currents.
For instance, a bottle was thrown
pvverboard November 16, 1896, was
picked up March 26, 1898, during
which time it had drifted 4,700 miles.
Another that was thrown over near
Nantucket was found, 512 days later,
pff the coast of Scotland. Another,
Starting from Cape Cod, brought up
(it Cornwall, having traveled 2,500
miles In 600 days.
Some bottles, however, have shown
(in average speed of thirty-one miles
per day, while others have traveled
I'long at the slower rate of twenty-six,
fourteen, and even four miles per day.
|n the Pacific ocean there are fewer
i liances of the bottles being picked up,
but the experiments are tried there
with fair success. As the work goes

know him,’ said I, ‘for he never cleans
his boots, nor washes before meals. He
speaks and drinks when his mouth is
full, and generally uses his knife in
place of his fork.’ Gradually the lad
whom this story was designed to profit

“I don’t doubt it,” replied the man
with the cinnamon beard, “When I

saw drifts that couldn't have been less
than 900 leet deep.”
“If you hadn’t been in such a hurry
to tell a bigger lie than you thought I

that the drifts 1 saw were 600 feet up

Ants Not So Smart After All.
Professor Bethe of Strasburg doesn't
believe the ant is so intelligent as he
seems. He cleansed the ants taken
from one hill in a solution of alcohol,
dipped them in a decoction made of
ants from another hill, and placed
them in the strange hill. They were
not attacked as strangers, even when
of different color and conformation.
On the other hand, ants treated in this
manner when put back in their own
hills were not recognized by their
tribe, but at once attacked and killed.
Professor Bethe infers from this that
ants must give out some liquid whose
odor guides them, and ihnt each colony
must have its own peculiar smell.

The Potash
Question.
A thorough study of the sub
ject has proven that crop fail
ures can be prevented by using
fertilizers containing a large
percentage of Potash; no
plant can grow without Potash.
We have a little book on the subject of
Potash, written by authorities, that we
would like to send to every farmer, free of
cost, if he will only write and ask for it.
