( THE GOLDSBpRO MESSENGER, APRIL 15, 1886.-DOUBLE SHEET. march: MABT T-WTHKOP, Tramp, tramp, tratnpTlnthe drunkard's way, March tho feet of million men : if none shall pity and none shall gave Where will the march they are making end? The yorenI the strong and the old are there, Tn woeful raaks a they hurry past, With not a moment to think or care. What is the fate that comes at last? Tramp, tramp, tramp!, to a drunkard's doom, Out of a boyhood pure and fair Over the thoughts of love and horae- Past the check of a mother's praver ; Onward swift to a drunkard's crime. Over the plea of wife and child, Over the holiest ties of time. Reason dethroned, and souls gone wild.- i ' Tramp, tramp, tramp, till a drunkard's grave Covers the broken life of shame Whilst the spirit Jesus died to save Meets a future we dare not name. God help us all, there's a cross to bear And work to do for the mighty throng! God give us strength, till the toil and prayer Shall end one day in the victor's song ! , BEAUTY IN "WOMEN. ' - . Beautiful vomen, from the creation flown through all the circling ages, has been the eloquent theme of bard and historian. The shrine at which millions have paid their homage; for whom brave and . chivalrie knights have measured lances, and kings and princes contended. It would be needless to particularize all the lovely women, of matchless grace and form, who have entranced, " and transported to pictured realms of bliss, and caused to roam in fancied fairy bowers, the souls of mortals. We care not where female beauty may be found women pure and love- y must win the adoration of every manly heart.. A thoughtful writer said: "A beau tiful woman is a practical poet, tam ing her savage mate; planting tender ness and hope in all whom she ap proaches.'" "Nature wishes that women should attract men, for she stands related to it; and enamored youth raises their form with moon and stars, and the pomp of summer." In the present.demoralized and cor rupt state of society it is a difficult task to distinguish real beauty, the gift of nature, from that which is the creation of ark. It is sad and lamentable, but never theless true, that the tyrant fashion exerts such immense powers over the minds of a vast majority of the wo men of our day, that it has subverted everv sense and conception of what is right. Women. who once scorned to over i step the bounds of decency and self j respect, and who were wont to exem plify the old adage, ''nature unadorn ed the most," have in the madness of of the hour become the most ardent supporters of all the devices that art has adopted to win its adherents. The use of paint and all the other concoc tions and preparations for beautifying the skin and adding brilliancy to the eye is not only practiced by the de praved, but even those who bear the title of refined ladies and appear in our best society, patronize itto as great an extent r Careful, indeed, then must be the honest-hearted and pure-minded young man in his choice of a wife, for if be is not, he may find but that instead of a real true woman he has only se cured a piece of paint and chalk. A false defence it is that great many persons make or the use or art m wo men, when they contend she is per fectlv justifiable in doing all in her power to add to her attractiveness, whether it be contrary to the laws of nature, health and morality. They argue that men dye their hair, etc., so as to preserve a fresh and youthful ap pearance, and why should not women do the same! Two wrongs cannot by any logic make ia right. The use of artificial means liri man or woman is at variance with It ruth and morality. But be it said, to their everlasting praise, there, are' some truly noble who have the spirit and determination to resist the temptations that surround them, and are grand and illustrious examples of "heaven's last and best gift toman."" Bright oasis in the desert of fashionable life, deserving or the encomiums of all who esteem whatso ever is genuine and true. simplicity, modesty and grace m coujunction with natural beauty, is all that is necessary to complete "A perfect voman, nojbly planned Made to love, honor and command." FUN AT HOME. There is nothing like it!; to be found- no,not if you search the world through. i want every possible amusement to keep the boys at honke evenings Never mind if they do scatter books and pictures, coats, hats and boots .ever mina u tney ao maxe a noise around, with their whistling and hur rahing! We should stajid aghast if we could have a vision of the young men goue to utter destruction ' for the very reason that having cold, disa greeable, dull stiff firesides at home, the sought amusement elsewhere. Don't let them wander beyond the reach of mother s influence, yet awhile. The time will come before you think, when 3'ou would give the world to have your house tumbled by the dear hands of those very boys; when your heart shall long for their noisy steps n the hall, and their ruddy cheeks laid up to yours; when j'ou would rather have their jolly whistle than the music of all the operas; when you would gladly dirty "carpets -ay, live without carpets at all, but to have their bright, strong forms besides you once more. Then play with and "pet them. Praise Johnny's drawinjr. Betty's music, and baby first attempt at wruiug uis uaiue. .encourage 10m to chop off his stick of wood, and Dick to persevere in making his hen-coop. If one shows a talent for figures, tell him. he is your famous mathematician; and if another loves geography, tell him he will be sure to make a great travejer, or a foreign minister. Be come interested in their pets, be they rabbits, pigeons or dogs. Let them help' you in home decorations; send them to gather mosses, grasses and bright autumn leaves, to decorate their room when the snow is all over tha earth, and you will keep yourself young and fresh by entering into their joys, and keep those joys innocent by your knowledge of them. Selected. For Fifteen years 1 was annoyed with severe pain in my head and discharges into my throat from catarrh. My sense of smell was much impaired. By the use of Ely's Cream Balm I have overcome these troubles. J. B. Case, St. Denis Ho tel, New York. . I find Ely's Cream Balm good for ca tarrh of long standing. M. N. Lasley, 1031 West Chestnut St, Louisville, Ky. EDUCATION A3 I THE POETS. Parents should place the great poets into th& hands of their children as early as possible. Their natural i n stincts clamor for a free range of the imagination, and we can nowhere in the august realm of literature find more effective and healthy aids to ed udation that in such writers as Bun yan and the great standard poets of the 18th and 19th centuries. Children should study these works in their native tongue, that they may be more perfectly assimilated with their mental tone and spirit, and this will also serve to broaden and exalt their sympathies and tastes. Their loftier instincts and powers would be called into fuller play, and their daily fellowship with such mighty minds would familiarize them with higher thoughts until they would involuntar ily soar into another and nobler sphere of moral and mental existence. The very first step you take in ad vancing your children, let it be to im press upon their plastic minds that thereare higher laws to which they owe obedience than those of matter, and objects of a grander and more momentous interest than those bound ed by our material horizon of animal desire. With no recognition of the idea be yond that limited by the narrow line of self and its senual agencies, science and the mechanical arts would be powerless to achieve any lofty, ra tional end; we would never progress in moral or intellectual excellence, but retrogade instead. Without some thing to stimulate effort, .apart from the grosser ambition that impels ac tion, riches in their profusion would so corrupt and brutalize, that life would prove a sorrow instead of a joy, and the very atmosphere we breathe would be rife with poisonous influ ences. . ' We are not indebted to our schools and colleges for what the i world calls a liberal and finished training for life. Our greatest men and scholars have been those whose odd moments of rest from busy toil have been devoted to close investigation and research, and who, in the absence, of books, have conversed with accomplish ed rnen and women and treasured up their gems of thought for hours of private meditation. , The brightest aim we should have in the education of the young should be to draw out all that is great and good within them, to in spire them with noble aims and ends, and to eradicate all that is evil and pernicious in their natures. We are largely indebted to our great poets for the pure ideals that have raised our lives from the coarse and earthy to the refined and spirituals They have taught us what we should be and shown us the path to the stair way that leads from the earth to heav en. Next to the Bible and the best relierious books oi our libraries, are the works' of our Christian poets Baltimorian. A WORD TO THE BOYS. . What do you think, young friends, of the hundreds of thousands who are trying to cheat themselves and others into the belief that alcoholic; drinks are good for them? Are they to be pitied and not blamed? Do you wan to be one of these wretched men? If we are to !have drunkards in the fut ure, someiof them are to come from the boys to whom I am writing; and I ask you .gain if you want to be on of them? i No, of course you don'! . Well, I have a plan for you that i just as sure to save you'from such fate, as the sun is to rise to-morrow morning, j It never failed; it nevei will fail; and I think it is worth know ing. Neveouch-liquor in anv form, That is the plan, and it is not only worth knowing, but it is worth puttm in practice. I know ! you dem't drink now, and it seems to you as if you never would But your temptation -will come, anc it probably will come in this way You will find yourself, sometime, with a number j of companions, and they will have a bottle or wine on the table. They will drink and offer it to you They will regard it as a manly practice, and very likely they will look upon you as a rhilksop if you don't indulge with them!. Then what will you do 1 1 I ! 11 1 TTT - en, wnat win you ao: win you say "JNo, no! none ot that stuff tor me! know a tjrick worth half a dozen of that! ' or will you take the glass with your common sense protesting,, and your conscience making the whole draught bitter, and feeling that you have damaged yourself, and then go off with a hot head and a skulking soul that at once begins to make apo logies for I itself, and will keep doing so an nis iirei i5oys, do not become drunkards!.

WHAT SANE BUSINESS MAN would risk a $15,000 stock of g-oods in one building1 with out fire insurance, and yet the same stock may never be destroyed?

' DO YOU KNOW that you can leave your family 5,000 or $10,000 by the simple payment of an amount each year that is less than the taxes would be upon the same amount of real estate, and you have not a dollar of capital in vested ? DO YOU KNOW that the death of one part ner may, and often does, cause the closing up of a firm's affairs to its ruin ? DO YOU KNOW that partnership interests may be paid off upon the death of any member of tbe firm, by each member insuring for the benefit of the others, and the business contin ue without impairment?
