Temperance Union of Conyers.
IIE HAD LOW WAGES.
The following incident occurred at
Bridgewater, N. Y. A youug man
was asked to attend a temperance
meeting on a Sabbath evening, and
his reply was.
“My clothes are not good enough
to attend church. My wages are
small this year, and I must have
them raised another year, or I shan l
work for my present employer.”
“Jlow much are you receiving this
year? You are working on a farm i
‘•Yes and I get two hundred doU
Jars and my board for nine months.”
“When is your time out?”
“It will be out in two weeks.”
“How much money will you have
coming to you then?”
“Not anything, I have drawn more
than my pay now.”
“llow much of the two hundred
have you spent for clothing?’
“Not quite forty dollars.”
“Have you any beside yourself to
to support or care for?”
“No, sir, I am for myself.”
“What has become of the one
hundred and sixty dollars?”
“W-elUi 1—I’ve spent it.”
“Oh, you have. Did you put it out
at interest? You don’t seem to have
any great desire to tell where it did
go, do you? Well, let me tell you.
lu Juno you drew twenty dollars and,
went up to Utica to a circus. You
got drunk, and bet on a three card
monte, lost all you had, got into a
fight, got whipped, and put into the
lock-up (the man who gets whipped
isalwa^ s the one wlto gets locked up)
and in the morning the recorder
fined you ten dollars. “Is this true?”
“Yes, sir; but how did you find
it out?”
“That don’t matter. It seems they
did not leave you anything. When
the races wore at Utica you drew
twenty dollars more and went there.
You drank freely, you were just full
enough to bet on the slow horse, and
lost all you bad. You had another
fight, and, ns usual, received a sound
thrashing; was taken before the
recorder, and for a second offense
paid twenty-five dollars. You did
not even profit from this transaction.
You went to a hop dance; whisky
was plenty and you partook freely.
You imagined some one insulted you,
and the result whs h general row.
This cost you twi nty-fiye dollars
more, besides i.he csi of court and
tho paying of your lawyer. I should
think you would wnut your wages
raised.”
“I enn see it all. What a fool I
am! Why, 1 have worked five years
for my present employer, and have
not. laid up a cent. 1 have worn
poor cloths, have found fault be¬
cause my pay was small. It' it had
not been tor drink 1 should now have
five hundred dollars at interest,
should be well dressed, and respect¬
ed by honest people. I will be at
the meeting just as I am, and sign
the pledge for life.”
He kept his word. He took his
pledge that night. He has been
true to it, and is now one of the lead¬
ing men of Oneida county.
Y'oung man, can you see yourself
in this picture? If you can, heed
the truth, and be made better by
correcting your mistaken way of liv¬
ing.—Reebabite.
Don't Feel Well,
And yet you are not sick enough to
consult a doctor, or you refrain from
80 doing fur lear you will alarm
yourself and friends—we will tell
you just wliat you need. It is Hood’s
Sarsaparilla, which will lift you out
of that uncertain, uncomfortable,
dangerous condition, into a state of
good health, confidence and cheer
fulness. You’ve no idea how potent
. this peculiar medicine is in cases
like yours.
Jim Bindso.
Wall, no! I can’t tell where he lives,
Because he don’t live, you see;
Leastways, he’s #ot out of the habit
Of livin’ like you and me,
Wliar have you l>een for the last three
years, folks tell
That you havn’t heard
How Jim Bindso passed in his ch< cks,
The night of the “Prairie Belle?”
He warn’t no saint— them engineers
Is pretty much all alike—
One wife in Natchez under-the-Hi!l,
And another one here, in Pike.
A car “less man in his talk was J’tn,
And an awkward man in a row—
But he never flunked and he never bed,
I reckon he never knowed how.
And this wa« all the religion he had—
To treat his engine well;
Never be passed on the river;
To mind the pilot’s bell;
And if ever the “Prairie Belle” took fire,
A thousand times he swore
He’d hold her nozzle agin’ the bank
Till the last soul got a-shore.
All boats has their day on the Mississip’,
And her day came at last—
The Movastar was a better boat,
But the Belle, she wouldn’t be passed,
And so she came a tearin’ along that
night,
The oldest craft on the line,
With a nigger squat on her safety-valve,
And her furnaces crammed, rosin and
pine.
The fire hurst out as she dared the bar,
And burnt a hole In the night,
And quick as flash she turned and made
For that willer-bank on the right,
There was runnin’and cussin’, but Jim
yelled out
Over all the infernal roar,
“I’ll hold her nozzle agin’ the bank
Till the last galoot’s ashore.”
Thro’ the hot, black breath of the bunt¬
in’ boat
Jim Bludso’s voice was heard,
And they all had trust in his eussedness,
And know’d he would keep his word,
And sure’s you’re born, they all got off
Afore the smoke-stacks fell,
And Bludso’s ghost went up alone
In tho smoke of the “Prairie Belle.”
He warn’t no saint—but at judgment
I’d run my chance with Jim
’Longside of some pious gentlemen
That wouldn’t shako hands with him.
He seed his duty a dead sure thing,
And went for it tliar and then;
And Christ ain’t a-going to be too hard
On a feller that died for men.
SHE COULD CATCH BURGLARS.
“Now mind, don’t you stay away
very late.” said the better-half of a
fellow who does not live a hundred
miles from Conyers.
“All right pe ,” he answered. “I
have a little special business in Cov¬
ington, and I will be back about
dark.”
The “special business” was to
much for him, he returned home
about 11 p. m. feeling very queer.
She was up and she was angry.
Taking him by the coat collar she
put him down the cellar-steps and
locked the door.
“If you don’t let me up, I wil'.
break the door open,” lie yelled.
•‘If you do, you will feel the weight
of the poker,” she replied.
Knowing from experience that his
wife can be an angel as well as some¬
thing else, he beg her to get out and
promised to drop the “special busi¬
ness.”
La Grippe Again,
During the epidemic of La Grippe
last season Dr. King’s New Discovery
for Consumption. Couphs and Colds,
proved to be the best. Reports from
the many who used it confirm this
statement. They were not only
quickly relieved., but the disease
left no bad after results. We ask
you to give this remedy a trial and
we guarantee that you wtll be satis¬
fied with results, or the purchase
price will be refunded. It has no
equal in La Gtippe, or any Throat
Chest or Lung Trouble. Taial bot¬
