Must Driuk or Die. "When the use of alcoholic liquors reaches the point where a man must “drink or die,’’ it is a sure sign that he will soon drink and die. The terrible power which the appetite for intoxi¬ cants has over its slaves is vividly il¬ lustrated in* the following incident : One wintry afternoon a trembling man entered a tavern in New Hamp¬ shire, carrying a small package of ch tfa ing. “Landlord, Going to.the bar burning. he said I am Give me a good glass landlord of gin." The pointed to a line of chalk marks and said,— “John, you see the old score—not another drop till that is paid.’’ The poor wretch glared fiercely at the man behind the bar. “Landlord, you don’t mean that. You have got my farm, you have got my horses, you have got my tools. All I have got in the world is this little bundle of clothes. Please, landlord, give me for them just one glass of gin." “I don’t want your old clothes ,’1 calmly answered the man." Pay the old score first." The drunkard staggered back. A gentleman "What then said;— give will you me for enough have to buy good two pair glasses boots of gin? I see vou a of on your feet. Will you give me your boots for the ten cents?" The miserable wretch hesitated for a moment, then said,— I “Stranger, if I give you the boots, must go out in the snow barefooted. If I give you the boots, I must freeze to death; if I don’t death. give them to you, I shall burn to Stranger, it is harder to burn to death than to freeze to death; give me the gin you may have the boots," He sat down and began to draw them off. The gentleman did not, however, in¬ tend to take them, but he was testing the Others strength looking of the terrible appetite. were on and they said the man should have his gin. They supplied he could him liberally, and he drank all and he took all the rest away. When night came he drank the last drop, The and he went to sleep in a barn. frost-king came and took the poor man in his arms. The next morning he was found in the ba m frozen to death, , “Save Dat Pocketbook ’ There is an old story of a jailor* who, ■having been paid off, was travelling in a stage-coach to London.

As soon as the water was wiped from his nose and mouth so that he could see and speak, he asked, "Did—did you save that pocketbook. “No," was the response. "Well, den," said the negre, regret¬ fully, “what was de use ob savin'me?" Prudish. Human nature is the same all the world over—a fact which is shown by the following description, by a Danish missionary, The of suitor marriage-making the in Greenland. came to mis¬ sionary and said, “I should like to hare a wife.” “Whom?” asks the mission¬ ary. The man names the woman. “Hast thou spoken to her ?” Sometimes the man will answer “Yes, but thou knowest womankind.” More frequently the answer is “No.” “Why “It difficult. not ?” Girls prudish. is are Thou must speak to her." The missionary summons the girl, and after a little conversation, says, “I think it is time to have thee married.’^ “I won’t marry." “What a pity 1 I had a suitor for thee.” “Whom ?” The sought missionary his aid. names the man who has “He is good for nothing; won’t have him. “But," replies he the throws missionary, his harpoon “he is a good provider; thee with skill; and he loves " Though listening to his praise with evident pleasure, the girl answers, “I won’t have him.” “Well, I won’t force thee. I shall soon find a wife for such a clever fel¬ low." The missionary remains silent, as though he understood her "No" to have ended the matter. At last, with a sigh, it.” she whispers, “Just as thou wilt have “No,” replies the persuade clergyman, “as thou wilt. I’ll not thee.” Then, with a deep groan, comes “Yes,” and it is settled. Political Opponents. Public men often abuse each other for political effect. They are like op¬ jury, posing and lawyers then, while who quarrel twelve before gentle¬ a the men and are dine deliberating together. as to the verdict, go While William H. Seward was ser- ving irritating his first term as Senator, Henry his most S. Foo of Mississippi. antagonist was The sarcastic e, Mississippian York Senator used in to insult debate, the New and then his house public and hobnob with go to him. John C. Ca’houn, who was too frank and sincere to play a double part, private once publicly intimacy taunted Foote with his ■ with the man whom he satirized in public. But the dapper little politician' knew that to abuse Mr. Seward, who was dubbed in Mississippi as an abo¬ litionist, woo'd make Senator Foote popular at Home. Personally, he liked the Senator from New York, who per¬ sisted in mair Liming social relations with his revilers. An illustration of the respect ai d courtesy which political opponents should show, and which sometimes they do show to each other, is narrated by a writer in the AtlanHc. It occurred in ah interview between Gen. Taylor and Gen. Cass. Gen. Taylor, who had been elected President over Gen. Cass, the Demo¬ cratic candidate, had no sooner arrived in Washington than the latter called to pay his respects As he entered the room, Gen. Taylor grasped his hand and shook it cordially. As Gen. Cass did not at first recognize the President¬ elect, he exclaimed,— “You had the advantage of me 1 That’s twice you’ve had the advantage of me 1 " "That’s true,” said Gen. Taylor, “but you know the battle is not always to the strong.” “That’s a fact,” replied Gen. Cass, and then the successful candidate and his unsuccessful competitor had a friendly chat together. As Gen. Cass was troduced leaving the room, a gentleman in¬ himself, with the remark,— “I was on the stump as a Democrat, and in every State in which I spoke you had a majority." “I “My good friend," said Gen. Cass, am very much obliged to you; and if your speeches had that effect, I wish you had stumped in two or three more States.” Is Drunkenness a Disease? In a recent issue the St. Louis Re¬ publican has above a well written editorial, with the caption, taking ground against the theory, for some time so prevalent, that drunkenness is a dis¬ ease, and claiming that a man’s free will bad a great deal to do with his drinking to excess or abstaining from ■doing bo.- A correspondent of the Re¬ publican refers to this editorial approv¬ ingly, and claims to have had oppor¬ tunity to observe a large number of cases of patients treated for inebriety in the asylum at Binghampton, and that the trouble with most of them was not that they could be cur¬ ed, but that they did not want to be. The Norwich, Conn., Bulletin says: “The truth is that voluntary drunken¬ ness, and drnnbanness is volan¬ tary in ©99 cases oat of 1,000, is it¬ self a crime, and ought to be con¬ sidered an aggravation of every offense committed nnder its influence.” That is sound doctrine. It is not a dis¬ ease any more than a tendency to theft or eny manner of vies or orime is such. Pity ths drunkard as you pity any other vicious or criminal character, so as to desire his reformation, and aid him in any honest effort he may make to redeem himself. Bat he should be made to see the fact that he is not iD- dulgiDg an amiable weakness, to be passed by with crime a pleasant jest, but committing a againet himself, his family, society and God. Men oc¬ casionally, in their theories and plans of a humanitarian character, become wiser end better than God and Scrip¬ ture, but soon or late, stubborn facts convince them of their error. God’s word ranks drunkenness as a sin, class¬ es it with gross and heinous sins and denounces the same terrible penalties against it as agaiust the rich. Let God be true, though all human theo¬ ries be proved to be false by his truth. —South West Methodsit, Winning; By Pluck. The famous Lord Erskine, one of the advocates at the British bar, had a hard struggle for success. He was the youngest son in a poor family, and lit¬ tle could be done even for his educa¬ tion.

Printer’s Boys. The term “devil,” applied to an ap¬ prentice or errand boy in a printer’s office, is thought by Borne to have ite origin in ibe ill-nature of authors who considered themselves persecuted by continual calls for “copy," and anathe- matized the poor little messenger by way of revenge. Modern refinement is wearing out the term, and now it is probably oitener heard outside the printing An office than in it. exchange speaks an appreciative word for the boys who carry such an uncanny title. There is no class of boys for whom we have more profound respect than well-behaved printers’ devils. They know something and are more practi¬ cal, which is more than yon can say of all classes of boys. In that respect, we place the boys who work in a print¬ ing office head and shoulders above most boys. Did you ever hear of Benjamin Franklin? Ben was once a printer’s devil. He was also one of the signers of the Declaration of Independence. Hannibal HamliD, Vioe President un¬ der Lincoln, was once a printer’s poor devil. Schuyler Colfax, who has been Speaker of the Hoase of Repsesenta- tivea for years, was “nothing but a devil in a printing office,” at one time. Horace Greeley, who was one of the first journalists on this continent, and an ex-Oongressman, was a printer’s devil. Ex-Senator Simon Cameron, of Pennsylvania, was a “devil.” Thurlow Weed, one of the wealthiest and most influential men in New York, the edi¬ tor of the Oommerci Advertiser, was a penniless devil in a printing office} Ex-Senator Ross or Kansas commenced bia successful career as a printer’s devil. Two.thirds of the editors of the United States were once printer’s devils. Permit us to tell you that the men who once did duty as printers’ devils have done more to advance the inter¬ ests and sustain the good name of America than any other class .—Home Cempanim A Tragic Incident. It would be hard to find a more heartrending illustration of the horrors of war than the following. It is not the only one of its kind,sad to say, for in our great civil conflict many fron¬ tier families were divided, brothers and fathers and Bona taking opposite sides, caeot eech other afterwards in fatal fight. An old volunteer officer, who is now writisg an interesting account of the Irish brigade for the Boston Com¬ mercial Bulletin, relates this story: There was a tragic event at Malvern Hill wbioh deserves to be recorded, of what may come in a civil war One of our beat non-commissioned officers, Sergeant Driscoll, an excellent shot, noticed th 9 distinguished daring of a Confederote officer, and resolved to counteract his inspiring efforts in the most effectual way; so, stating his intention, he waited till he got a fair view through the smoke, raised hie rifle as be would at a pigeoD, end crack¬ ed away. The officer fell, and his men broke, with our fellows after them with the bayonet. Driscoll stopped as he came to the victim of his unerring shot, who had fallen on bis face, and turned him over. The victim feebly opened his eyes, murmured “Fatherl” and ex¬ pired. Driscoll had shot his own son. -His grief crazed the man. Oonspicuons for his coolness hitherto, he become pos¬ sessed with immeasurable fury, and with a fearful execration, tore off his coat and and equipments, and with un¬ loaded mnektt, plunged headlong into the fight; the enemy were strongly re¬ inforced, and the confliot was warm. Driscoll daehed in like a Malay ranm'ng a much. He fought like a fiend. He was brought to the gronnd again and again, each time springing up afreeh, and striking with deadly force. He fell dead just as our line reached him covered with wounds. Appreciating- a Joke. The late President Wayland, of Brown University, was a disciplinarian who inspired a wholesome dread in students incline to be idle or mischiev¬ ous. Few offenders cared to encoun¬ ter his words of rebuke end his stern looks. But the doctor had a keen sense of humor, and heartily enjoyed a col¬ lege joke, if the^fun was the harmless bubbling Wayland of over exuberant spirits. Dr. married for his second wife a Mrs. Sage of Boston, and the college boys were anxious to celebrate the event. But he had forbidden an illumination in hoimr of a professor’s handled marriage a little time before, and had dents who roughly dared some of the stu¬ boys, therefore, to disobey him. The were afraid to venture on a second illumination. A few restless spirits, however, felt that something must be done. In the quiet hours of the night they managed to enter the doctor’s room in the college and to abundantly decorate! it- The next his morning Dr. Wayland on enter¬ ing room was surprised to find it hung about on every side with sprigs of sage. He c onfessed to himself that for once the and boys the had been too much for him, that he made point of the joke was so good who the no trespassers. attempt to It find out ware was al¬ most the only offence under his ad¬ ministration that was not detected and promptly punished. Cakes, puddings, etc., are always im¬ proved by making the ourrants, sugar and flour hot before using them. FARM & GARDEN FACTS. Keeping Sweet Potatoes. An inquiry appeared in the Msroh number of the Cultivator, as to a suc- ceseful plan for keeping sweet potatoes. Mr. B. Betbnne, of Milledgeville, Ga., very kindly responded with a plan tbal he has found successful, and which he presents wi'h a commendable brevr.y and clearness. He says: f “A correspondent in your March number says he failed, wben^v’•baokeflr'' carefully and coveasd ihe rk L sheltered the banks well. Anil careless negrors around him succeeded without shelter¬ ing. The reason is obvious to tbs pre¬ sent writer, who has always failed' when he used a shelter or banked i n a house, yet never failed outside. We have potatoes on the table every day in the year, by ohseiving the iollowing rules: 1. Dig when the potatoes are ripe, which may bo told by cutting a potato, and if ripe the cut surface will form white starch when dry; if not ripe it will turn black. 2. Dig when the land is not too wet. 3. Coyer the bottom of the bank with straw, which may be either dry or damp, bot not very wet. 4. Cover with similar straw alter piling the potatoes in sharp coma. 5. Cover with corn stalks sufficiently thick to keep out the dirt. 6 . Cover with dirt two or three in¬ ches thick, leaving s small part of the stalks at the top not covered. 7. Nail together two pieces, 1x12, two feet long in V ebape, and invert over tbe top to keep ont the rain. 8 . When the freezes commence put on three or four inches more of dirt. 9. The dirt used in covering mast not be dry, hard, lumpy clay; in that oase ths air and cold will not be exclu¬ ded. The writer generally digs potatoes when the land is in order, and would handle well in any other farm opera- tion. In the spring, say first of April, or when the danger of severe frosts is over, open all remaining banka and rub off tbe sprouts, which will some- times be six inches long, and remove the potatoes to a dry floored room, and they will keep until the winter freezes come, if not used. The writer’s prac¬ tice is to preserve the same tempera¬ ture as the potatoes have when dug; he believes that moisture to a certain’ extent is necessary to prevent ‘dry rot;’ that a layer of dirt not thicker than that on potato banks, will become po¬ rous and let in cold, which will oause rot; that the moral to all this is, “don’t shelter.”— Southern Cultivator, Brains and Muscle. Tbe editor of tbe Americas, Ga. Recorder, is a Western man of energy and ability, who has lately come South to live, and these are his views on im* migration, as eet forth in bis excellent paper: M any people of these section seem to think the developement of the South depends upon inducing Northern capi¬ talists to come South and invest their wealth.

But suppose a few thousand of small far¬ mers could be induced to come South, buy some small farms and thus improve the land and add to the production of the country. It is brains and muscle that have made prosperous States out of the Western wilderness, the men of small means, who by their work year by year add to tbe value of their lands and thus increase the value of tbe prop¬ erty of their neighbor*. If the West¬ ern States had waited for Eastern cap¬ italists to develop their resources, they would yet be in a wild state. Capital is cautious and avoids risks. It is the necessity of mao which impels him to seek new fields of labor, to wrest wealth from the ground. It Bhould be tbe policy of tbe Sooth to invite men of small means to settle within her borders.
