F. L. McOMBER, West McHenry. Water is the strongest drink. -It drives mills, it's the drink of lions and horses, and Sampson never drank anything else. Let young men be teetotalers if only for economy 's sake. The beer money will soon build a house. -If what goes into the mash tub went into the kneading trough, families would be better fed and better taught. If what were spent in waste were only saved for a rainy day, workhouses would never be built. The man who spends his money with the pub­ lican, end thinks the landlord's bow and "How do you do, my good Ifellow?" means true respect, is a perfects simple­ ton. We don't light fires for the her ring's comfort, but to roast him. Men do not keep pothouses for the laborer's good; if they do they certainl^j^nss their aim. Why, then, should people drink "for the good of the* house?" If I sptind money for the good of any house let it be my own, and not the landlord's. It is a bad well into which you must. put. water; and the beerhouse is a bad friend, because it taken your all ana leaves you nothing but headaches. He who calls those his friends who let him sit and drink by the hour together is ignorant--very ignorant. Why, red lions, and tigers, and. eagles^ and vul­ tures are all creatures of prey, and why do so many put themselves within the power of their jaws and talons? Such as drink and live riotously, and wonder why their faces are so blotchy and their pockets so bare, would leave off wonder­ ing if they had two grains of wisdom. They might as well ask an elm tree for peas as look to loose habits for health and wealth. Those who go to the public house fox- happiness olimb a tree to find fish.--C. H. Spurgeon.
