Always Read with Much Pleasure. A TEMPERANCE OBJECT LESSON. “ I was sitting at my breakfast tableone Sabbath morning, when I was called to the door by a ring of the bell. There st od a boy of about fourteen years of age, poorly l clad, b-it t died up as best he could, He was leaning upon crutches,one leg was off at the knee. In a voice trembling with -mo! ion, and tears coursing down his manly cheeks, he said: ‘ Mr. Hoagland, I am Freddy Brown. I have come to see if you will go to the jail and talk ' and pray with my father; he is o ! w hung to-morrow for the murder I of my mother. i My father was a good man, but i whiskey did it. I have three sistars < vounger than myself; we are very, < very poor; we have no friends. We i ive in a 1 a k alley in a dark and I dingy ro in. I do the best I can to I support my sisters by selling pa pers, blacking boots, and odd jobs ( b it Mr. Hoagland, wo are awfully 1 poor. Will you co ue and be with us 1 when father's body is brought ' home? The governor s-xys we may ! have his body after he is hung.’ I ' was d- p’y moved t> p ty. I irom- 1 ised an i ma e haste to the jail, where I found his father. ac- 1 know] dg d that lie must have murdered his wife, for the circum st-i ces pointed that way, but he had ot tin l slightest remembrance of the deed. H*» said he was crazed with drink, or he never would have committed the crime. He said : “My wife was a wom an, and f ithful mother to my lit tle children. Never did I dream that my hand could be guilty of such a crime. ” The man could face > the penalty of thw law bravely for his deed; but he broke down and cried as if his heart would break when he thought of leaving his children in a destitute and friend less con lition. I read and prayed with him, and left him te his fate. The next morning I made my way to the miseia’ole qu rters of those ' children. I found three little girls up®n a bed of straw in one corner of the room. They were clad in rags. They were beautiful girls, had they the proper care. They were expecting 1 the body of their dead father, and between their cries and their sobs they would say: “Papa was good, but whiskey , did it.” In a little time two strong ’ officers came bearing the body of I the dead father in a rude pine box; they sat it do v i on two rickety stools. j The cries of ■ hildren were so heart-rending that they could not endure it, and made haste out of the room, leaving me alone with this terrible scene. In a moment the manly boy nerved himself, and .said, ‘’Come, sisters, kiss papa’s ■ face before it is cold.” They gathered about his face, i smoothed it with kisses, and be tween their sobs they cried out: “Pupa was good, but whiskey did it.’’Papa was g"od, but whiskey did it. I raised my heart to God and said: “O, G >d, did I fight to save a country that would derive a | revenue from a traffic that would ni ike one scene like this possible?” In my heart I said: ‘ln the whole history of this accursed traffi • there has not boon enough revenue de | rived to pay for one su-h scene as this—the wife and mother murder ed, ths father hung, tin children outrag’d, a home destroyed.”— Mrs. Gougar. HOW I» IT USED? A county town iu one of o tJI Middle States ,in which is a <!►■ nomiuational college, wa® startled by the suicide of one of tha collijg students. He had become a cuu. firmed drunkard; and, enfeeolep n. mind aud body, coaseieue lba‘ his career in college wits over, afraid to go homw, and in despair he sought death. , His brother was sent for ,c tak e the dead body horn*. H found h» president of the college, and said o him: “My mother, three years or more ago, sent you her youngsst son, Benjamin. He was a healthy, hon orsble boy, who, when he left heme had never touched a drop of liquor. There is ■othing to carry back to her but inis poor dead body. Who has done this? Who is guilty ? The venerable president was deeply moved. “Not I” he said. ‘‘Th- Faculty w >re interested in hiw. When he b-gati logo astray they te i with him. I pleaded with him. Every influence that we ouild ex»r t was brought to hear. But. lie went down as if drawn by soni • invisible hand. As the dead boy was carried down the street, a pretty young girl looke 1 out of the x indow o ’ he r home and saw the hearse. She re membered h»w, nearly three years ago. vexed at his blindness to he r charms aud hiseargerness for study she had used he little wiles to at tract him ; bow she had suceeeded • how mad be was in his admiration for h«-r. There was a club Tin the college, composed of students of free soci. al habits. At their late suppers wines were used and stakes were played for at their card-tables. She had urged him to join the club, and had praised their “manly” ways; their freedom from boyish restraints. They were men of the world; she never could care for any man who had not seen life. He had joined the club, and tlrs was the result. The silly frivolous giifl gave a sigh, and then laughed nervously. It was a pity! She had lost an ad mirer. But who was to blame? Not she. She knew other men of the world who would not be driven t suicide by a few glasses of liquor! She went on her foolish cruel way. This is a 'rue story, stripped of its worst detailed. In every col lege town there are young girls whose influence, unfortunately,is stronger over the students than that of their wisest and d«arest friends. How do they use it? COURGE FOR THE RIGHT.
