This showing »ot only reflects great credit on the old tioldier*, but is a favorable indication of the progress of temperance throughout the country. It may seem strange, but it is neverthe+ 1MB true, that alcohol, regularly applied to the thrifty farmer's stomach, will re­ move the boards from the fence, let the cattle into his crops, kill liis fruit treee,. mortgage his farm, and sow his fields, .with wild oats and thistles. It will take 14e paint off his building, break the glass out of his windows and fill them with rags. It will take the gloss from his clothes and the polish from his manner®, Subdue hijs reason, arouse his passions, bring sorrow and disgrace upon bis fam­ ily, and topple him into a drunkard's grave. It will do this to the artisan and the capitalist, the matron and maiden as well as to the farmer; for in its deadly enmity to the human race, alcohol is no J$tpecter of persons.--.St. Louis Christian Advocate. .. • n . i" ' , '> A Blasphemer* Fate. ' In the course of a recent lecture in Eng­ land, Rev. Mr. Hughes, an eloquent clergyman, told the following: "In a public house two intoxicated men were quarreling, and one of them, a sailor, declared he would kill the other. The landlord interfered to protect the threat­ ened man, who had no desire to fight, bat the sailor, naturally cruel and fierce, and with his passions inflamed with drink would not be pacified, and swore he would kill his opponent. 'Well,' said the pub­ lican, 'if you persist in fastening a serious quarrel upon an inoffensive man, it would serve you right if God were to strike you dead where yon stand.' 'Ha,' laughed the sailor, 'God cannot do that, if He can, may I go to hell before I drink this beer. He lifted the tankard, to his mouth bet before its contents touched his lips, he SeJl to the ground. In alarm the by­ standers clustered round and strove to raise him to his feet, but he was quite dead, stricken down in an instant, taken at his word by the God whom he had J#**-" f-, •> .
