'l‘hrough neglect of this principle it happens too often that the temper- ance cause suffers sad retardatiuns just when it might be expected to.re- gister a most notable advance. There are those who are 'saying that the temperance cause is still goingâ€"only it is going backward. Others claim that it is going forward. The true judg- ment in the case prothbly is that which unites these two views. For the temperance cause does rctrogade at some junctures and in some sections. Wherever men think that to put a piece of progressch temperance leg- islation on the statute book is enough and then go home to unconcernedly sleep over the whole question, tem- perance slips back like a runaway train on a down grade. But there is really no moral necessity for such re- trogression, if people will but bring to these problems the inspirational powers of the Gospel, and with the spiritual forces thus generated. keep pushing at the mountain of difficulty until at last, by ,a perfect faith. and seal. it is thrown into the sea of ob- livion never again to emerge there- PAT COULDN’T TREAT. him, but Pat simply looked, and K then the temperance cause is a movement, that is, a progression, or so to speak, morality in motion, it is not a self-continuing movement, but re- quires constant sustentation. from the sphere of the religious life. To keep it gonna, the continual supply of fresh spiritual forces is a necessity. The temperance interest, like every oth- ;u' moral interest, must constantly be created anew. The planets above us, in those heavenly others where there is! little or'no friction, may roll stead- ily on, age after age, in obedience to the original impulse supplied in ear- ly cosmical days, when the hand of the divine Creator threw them from Him as so many balls, but we work on earth, [hit in the skies, and on the face of this planet, which hugs each rolling vehicle or mo:or to itself by the constant pull of friction, we mUst constantly re-supply the motive forces to our reform machinery, if we woud keep the trains of social enter- prise moving toward their proper mor- al termini, The fires of faith, prayer and exhortation require to be continu- ally re-lighted under the boilers of the. social conscience if progress is to he math toward the goals of personal or political well beingâ€"for neither the Temperance Limited, nor any other re- form train, be it express or freight, will run toâ€"day with the steam that was made yesterday, nor run to-mor- row with the steam that is puffing in the cylinders to-day.

"It is indeed." replied the apathe- cary, gravely. "Yet. alas! not an uncommon one. Are you quite sure that nothing can remedy it 3" The apothecary was uncomfortable without knowing why. haunted by a vague, miserable suspicion, which poor Daisy's words secretly corrobor- ated; yet it seemed almost a sin to harbor one suspicion against the purity of the artless little creature before him. He looked into the fresh young face. There was no cloud on it, no guilt lay brooding in the clear. truthful blue eyes. He never dream- “Quhte sure,” replied Daisy, hope- lessly. ”My doom is fixed; and no matter how long I live, or how long he lives, it can never be altereu.” “It means that I am tired of life," she replied, desperately. “My life is so full of sadness it will be no sorrow to leave it. I wanted to rest quiet- ly down there, but you have held me back; it is useless to attempt to late me now. I have already swallowed a portion of the laudanum. Death must come to relieve me soon. It would be better to let me die down there where no one could have look- ed upon my face again." “I had no intention to let you die so easily," said the apothecary. soft- iy.

At that moment several of the neighbors who were assisting in the search were seen coming toward the cottage. They gathered in a little knot. by the garden Wall. \Vith a heart heavier than lead in his bosom John Brooks went forward to meet them. "You don't know how I loved that child." he cried, brokenly.
