HELP WHILE THERE’S TIMK.
Tin re is work to 1 <■ done for our country;
Cun any one idly 'fond by>
EtUl looking with scorn and indifference,
•While (hath and <b t-net'e n arc nigh?
Have y< ur heart* grow n so cold and so
hardened,
That mfiery, suffering and crime
Arouse not your deeper emotions i
Oh! give us your help while there’s time,
There is M at elya home but i* blighted
Elheis of Ill's teirible scourge-,
Oh! give uh your help and your ballot,
The waves of intemperance surge.
No, do lot w ait longer for surrimone,
The trem licrou* billows nmy roll
Within your own dearly loved circle
And diaw your pet farnbs from the
fold.
Dan you, father not think of your eliil
dren
The innocent boy at your knee,
And a< (; a noble example,
The man that you wish him to be?
fth! will (hose dimpled hands touch the
wine cup,
Those bright, loving eyes become red;
That strong, la arty form dwarfed and
weakened,
Unsteady ids voice and ids tread.
W'ldlo lie’s scarce readied the pride of
his man Ik <><l,
Will he 1>e the image of you?
< Mi! save him at once from the danger,
Ami I e to your on ever true.
.Most merciful Gcd, help the fathers
Wliov'e wandered so sadly astray,
Bring them back from the path of do¬
st ruction,
That sons may not follow that way.
PERSONAL INTEREST.
Lawyer Harris ami bis friend DrJ
Blake never met without ft long ar¬
gument nn the temperance question.
The trouble was that while Mr Har¬
ris was thoroughly temperate in his
own practice, ho never could be
brought, to take a personal interest in
tho temperance question.
“There does not scorn anything
real in this excitement about drink,”
he would say. “Here I am. middle
aged, and the drink trouble has never
touched mo in anyway iu person,
friends or fortune. Someway, I can’t
feel about.”
Ono day, while the doctor and law¬
yer were disputing as to personal du
ties in regard to great moral questions,
little Nell Harris, tho lawyer’s neice,
was looking at a large album- Sud¬
denly she spoke out:
“Here is a picture of my undo
Isaac! Do you know about him, Dot
tor? He is queer. He had a big fac
tory in Boston. One night lie looked
out of the window and saw a big fire
making the sky all red. He thohght
it was a beautiful sight. He didn’t
know it had anything to do with him.
Next, morning when he went down
town his office wasn't there; it had
been burned up. Then he wondered
how he could have thought the fire
Bueh a beautiful sight.”
The two men looked at eaeh other
end laughed. “There you are, Har¬
ris,” said the doctor; ain’t you a deal
like unde Isaac?’’
Mr. Harris laughed uneasily. “But,
doctor, if there was no whisky—half
yes, nine tenths of law practice would
bo gone.” He took up some reports
from liis table. “What would be left
here if all the whisky eases were sift¬
ed out, the whisky murders, broils,
thefts and accidents?”
“Aye," said the doctor, “and where
would my practice be if I doctored
only among temperate people with
temperance inheritance? How mau J
of tu© ills I treat, the tnseases
accidents, are the result of strong
drink? But we are not cormorants
Harris, to prefer to fatten on death
and decay. You might have less if
we lived in temperance mi lenium,
should I; also we should have hss
dangers, losses, taxes, less demands
upon our daily charity. For tue, I
prefer this lev -ling up. Lock out,
lest, like uncle Isaac, you unwittingly
admire the flame that is preying up
on vour own house.
The doctor took Nell out for a
drive, and lawyer Harris was left to
meditate on the revelations of the big
books upon his table. He thought of
the words of a sage of old, ‘I am Lu
man, and nothing that is human is j
fort-ign to me.” Then into Lis min 1
drifted a still nobler word, “All ye
are brethren.” Could it be, then,
that he had no personal interest in
what bo largely concerned bis breth
ren in the flesh—the whole human
race? “I believe I’m a selfish wretch,”
said lawyer Harris.—Mrs. J. McNair
Wright.
DRINK’S MY CURSE.
Can you find me a man sixty years
old who will say, “I am sixty years of
age, and I never drank a drop of in¬
toxicating liquor; but I regret that I
did not learn to drink when I was a
young man?” Find me such a man
in London! Find mo such a man
anywhere! Yet men have come to
me by scores-—I say it with bounds
—one of them the son ot a well
known lawyer in New York, who as
he groveled at my feet and clasped
my hands, said:
“For the love of God help me out
of this hell!”
“What’s the matter with you?”
“Drink’s my curse.”
“Yes, that’s it. It comes from the
prison—“Drink’s my curse!” It comes
from the house of correction—“Drink’s
my curse!’’ It comes from the pale
faced wife and the starving children—
“Drink’s my curse!” It comes his¬
sing hot through the black lips of the
dying drunkard—“Drink’s my curse!”
And not a man who has escaped but
to day rejoices in his escape.
Look at the wreck of men to be
seen on every hand. Oh, young men,
I wish I could lift the curtain that
hides from view the secrets of this
charnel-house! A man forty years of
age, a graduate of Edingburg Univer¬
sity, came to me and showed me his
diploma as a physician. He was quite
a fluent linguist and a very cultivated
gentleman; but the mark was upon
him. I was with him some time, and
when he left he said: “I am very
much obliged to you, Mr. Gough, for
your kindness to mo. You have told
me the truth, but its no use. There’s
uo hope for me. Will you shake
hands with me? I'm a lost laddie—
goodbye.”—J. B. Gough.
In the Methodist cemetery at Mor¬
gan, the comity site of Calhoun
county, are six graves, all side by side
They are all of the same length, and
show that they are the graves of
grown persons. We have the state
ment or f ono ot e IX tlie oiliest 1 T . citizens ... of ,,
the county, that these graves were
made when General Jackson marched
through that section in ’36 ou his way
to fight the Indians. The story is
that Old Hickory's army camped for
some time at this place, dug the well
that is being used at present by the
Bozeman family, who occupy the
place near the cemetery. "While the
army was encamped here these six
men were ordered shot by General
Jackson, probably for desertion, and
after being executed were buried in
the graves above described, forming
a nucleus for the present Methodist
cemetery.
