I am not aware that it is geuer ally known that the bloom of the corn tassel, after it has fallen off. liecomes animate ami crawls about bip, such is the fact. I took notice of this strange! circumstance when I was a hoy a-id took some that 1 found crawling, dried them in the sun ami found them to be nothing but the bloom. They are about the size of the common ' skiper worm that sometimes infests our bacon. Earl v iu the morn iug, before the dew is off, is the time to observe this mysterious opera tion of nature. If I was disposed to philosophize ou this subject I might ask this questiou: Does the bloom become alive, crawl down in the ear and form the heart o the grain? Does the pollen, float ing iu the atmosphere, falliug on the bloom of a different variety, cause it to mix as above indicated? It is well know that corn will mix, as we say, but it really forms a grain of a distinct variety from which it came, exactly like it. "D" in Statesville "Landmark."

The higher a man climbs the plainer he show s his fundamental infirmities. That is if he, has any and most people have got them iu this subloouar.v world. 1 was wondering in my miud why they hadn't brought out all these things about Cleveland and Blaine betore when they were rumiiug for ofiice, but it seems that the office they run for wasent high euough to de velop every hidden . thiug. As they climbed up the pole the slan derers only put at them a small opera glass but now that they keep'clirabiLg . higher, and higher they bring out their long barrelled telescopes that magnify a thous and times to the, inch and they hunt all over them for spots and blemishes and if there is a little speck ou the glass of the telescope they mistake it for a big spot on the man and raise a howl all over the nation. When Cleveland was running for governor of J ew York he was abused right smart by the republican uewspa-ers, hut they never said anything against his morals or his virtue as a man, but now since u keeps climbing up the pole ami gets higher and higher, they nave brought out their telescopes and microscopes and . Cleveland is an awful bad man. Weill am afraid he has not been as clean iu all respects as he ought to have leeu. 1 expect he has been overtaken by the iuhrm ities of the flesh, but mighty little harm came of It and he acted likeja gentleman. When men are overtak en by a fault it does not matter so much how they fall into trouble as it does how they come out. of it. Inst so with Mr. Blaine. The slafider against him is worse than against Cleveland, for he has a wife and children whom it affects. It is cruel and outrageous, for even if it is all the t ruth it has been a toned for long ago by. his good conduct in his domestic relations. If it wasn't for Mr. Blaiue's family I wouldent care a cent how many bad things they brought out on him if they Were true, for the southern people never hail a worse slander er thau he has been. His Ander sonville speech was a web of lies a monstrous cruel slander, a bloody shirt dipped in slime, and it was delivered by him, not for a princi ple, or to illustrate truth, but to make political capita! for himself. He deliberately sought to play upon the bu-e passions of maukiud: to excite their hate and revenge, and thereby promote himself. And now since his own iniquities have been brought to light, I wouldn't care one cent if it was not for his family. David was iu a power of trouble when he prayed: '-Oh, Lord, visit not upon ine the iniqui ties of my youth " Mr. Blaine had better kept dark. He could have suppressed the charges against Cleveland if he had tried or want ed to. He ought to have tefeuraph- ed every republican editor in the natiouand begged them.Jtbr his sake, to publish no charges against Cleve land with a woman in the case. t et not the pot call the kettle black. And there is Black .lack Logan, Weathercock Logan splurging around and -'abusing its like we were a passei of devils ami had just broke out in a new place. Be fore the war he was hollering hur rah tor Dixie and was, sending back our runaway niggers, and when the war broke out he raised a confederate regiment and was sending the Indiana hos down into Kentucky where he was to organ ize his regiment, and about that time he was bought up with a commis sion as a brigadier general and nop ped over on the ot her side, and has been waving the hloodyr shirt ever since. He is a national fraud But ii is all right I reckon. When a man is a candidate the people are bound to know the best or him and the worst, too. If he is an angel on one side he will be made a devil on the other; and considerate people will split the difference !etweeii the two. . A candidate ought' to be fair and pure and spotless,.-for that is the meauiuer of the word. But we can't expect to get. that sort. The. best men don't seek office, and they rarely ge. it. It is a hopeful sign when the orlice seeks the man, and that is what 1 like about Mr. Cleveland. He has never huuted for office or intrigued for if. and 1 believe the time has the American people come wieu will honor a They are horde who between the in an ol that sorr. tired of the hungry keei ui The strife ! section, tired of ilemau:ognes who ! deceive the people to get a chance j to plunder them. But there are some politicians who are so honest ( and so clever and kind hearted j that we forgive them lor playing j the demagogue. I like Zeb Vance j and Sunset Cox and Blount ami Phil Cook and Tom Hardeman and their sort, for they are amia ble and' unselfish. I heard Zeb Vance telliug how he captured the votes of a backwoods, settlement iu North Caroliua when he first ran for Congres. He said he had never bfen in that settlement and didn't know the boys. He didn't know their politics nor their habits nor their religiou. But he sent them word he would be there to see them on a certain dav, and so he rode over the mountain and got tliara and fonn d about sixty of the sovereigns" at cross-roads grocery, and he got down and hitched his horse and .began- to make their acquaintance and crack his jokes around, and thought he was getting along pret ty well with them, bnt be noticed au old man with shaggy eyebrows and big brass spectacles sitting ou a cbnnk and marking in the sand nith d stick. . Tue out man aiuent seem to pay much attention Vance, and after while Vance con cluded that the old mau was the bell-whet her of the flock and that it was necessary to capture him, so he sidled up close to him and the old man got up and shook himself and leaned forward on his stick and said solemnly, "This is Mr, Vance, I believe." "Yes, sir," said Vance. "And you have come over here to see my Isiys about their votes, I believe." "Yes, sir, said Vance, "that is my busi ness.'' "Well, sir," said the old mau, "afore proceeding with that business 1 would like to ax you a few ques tions." 'Certaiuly, sir, certainly," said Vance "What church do you belong to," said the old man. That was a sock dologer Vance didn't belong to any church. He knew that religion and meeting was a big thing in the back woods, and controlled their politics, but be didn't know what their religion was lor North Carolina was power- erfullv spotted and had a nest of Episcopalians in oue place, aud Presbyterians iu another and Bap ists and Methodists over youder, and tuey never mixed, but were all oneway in a settlement, and so he was in a dilemma. But he squared himself for responsibility, and says he: "Well, now, ny friend, J tell you about that, for its a the I will fair questiou. Of course it. is. you see my grandfather Well, came from Scotland, aud you know that over in Scotland everybody is Pres byteriau." Here he paused to uote the effect, but saw uo sign of syin pathy with his grandpa. "But my grandmother came from England, and everybody over there belongs to the Episcopal church tie pauseu again auatne out man marked another mark in the sand and spit his tobacco away off. "But my father was born iu this country in a Methodist settlement, and so he grew np a Methodist." Still no sign of approval from the old man, aud so Vance took his last shot and said: "But my mother was a good old Baptist, aud it's my opinion that a man has got to go under the water to get to heaven." i The old man walked up and taking him by the hand said, "Well you are all right, Mr. Vance, aud theu turning to the crowd said, "boys he'l do and you may vote for him, I ttiought he looked like a Baptist.'' And the old man slowly drew a flask from his coat tail and handed it. to Vance to seal his faith. Speaking aliout slander, I heard the other day that (lovernor Col quitt stopped over at Raleigh to see Governor Jarvis, aud Mrs. Jar vis told him how the uewspapers slandered her husband when he was a candidate and they accus ed him of swindling and lying, and mean things. "Well, madam, did you believe it," said Colquitt, very earnestly. "No, indeed, I dident," said she. Well, madam, Governor Jarvis is a fortunate man, for my enemies abused me and slandered me worse than your husband was slandered," aud then lie whispered 'and Cm atraut thev made my wife believe it." Talk About Your Snake Stories. BUT WAKE UP THE DEAD AND LET THEM ALL HEAR THE CHAMPI ON SNAKE STORY OK THE MOUN TAINS. But wake up the dead and let all hear the champion snake story of the mountains. We have never attempted to write np a snake story but it has always leeu our earnest intention to let them alone until we found one worth men tioning. Last week Mr. K. W. Noland, of Fines Creek, introduced to us in our office, Mr. Milas Han nah, a former Havwoodite bnt now a resideut of Kentucky. , Mr. Han nah led in conversation by stating that he had come all the way from Kentucky to ascertain the truth of a snake story which had originat ed from the mountain range near here called the Smokies. He said a story had been going the rounds in Kentucky that two men were out hunting in the Smokies when they discovered a very large spring, the surroundings of which exhibited evidence that a large creature had been visiting the place tor water. Having their in terest excited and being interest ed in pursuit ot any kind ot game thev resolved to watch tne resort and see whether it was bears or deer that frequented it. Their anxiety was not kept long in suspense when to their astonishment, a large monster met their gaze. It was outlandishly long and had a lody of very large dimensions. It had head equaling au ox and on that head was horns about two feet in lentrth. Astbeinouster-devil near- ed them their perceptive organs acted and re-acted, they diil uot kuow what to call if, but at last they observed that it was a mon ster snake. The men were put to their wits what was to be doue, run or fiie, when they concluded to tire. No sooner than the roar of their guns both at. once, had gone up, than the roar and moans of the snake went to the mountain tops and silently floated away on the drifting breeze, which carried the sound for ten miles. Then we sup pose the snake died, for the story said they examined it and found, to their enriosity and amazement, that i was really the largest snake the world's secretary ever record ed. The horns were those which protruded from a cow which the snake had just swallowed, and the alarming sounds were the piti ful bellowing of the poor cow which had been innocently shot standing inside the snake. Mr. Hannah said the story originated on his old hunting grounds but as it was not a good year for snake tales he would not make any farther investigation in the matter. Waynesville New."

A LOVE STORY. :o:- KISSING IN THE TWILIGHT AND WHAT CAME OF IT. A MAD CAP ADVENTURE- "So you think Mi-. Claiborne tine-looking, Minnie?" said one of a group of girls in a summer board ing house to a friend who had arrived but the day before. "1 thought he would be likely to snit your taste." Fine-looking! Thtd does not half express it. I think him just splen did!' exclaimed Minnie Moore, with genniue enthusiasm. "But only to think of his having a daughter as old as I am. Upon my word, 1 can't believe it." "You'll believe it, perhaps, w hen you see her," laughed another one, Sallie Ross. "She is spending the season at Long Branch, but runs down here every Saturday night, and spends Snnday with her fath er. They are fond of each other, and kiss tike two lovers." "Good gracious!" said Minnie, drawing a long breath. How 1 should like to 1 mean girls, don't yon sometimes envy his daughter?" "You meant," corrected sharp witted Kittie Hurst, "how you should like to kiss him. Do it, Min." "Yes, do if, Minnie; do it, I dare yon!" cried half a dozen merry girls in a breath. "You know 1 never take-a dare, girls;" cried Minnie, her roguish, handsome face turning crimson; "but in this case I fear I shall have to Show the white feather." ''Hear! hear!" cried all the. girls iu chorus. "Minnie Moore doesn't dare to play a practical joke." "Yes, I would dare!" cried the little witch, defiantly, "but could I manage it?" "JNothing easier." said Kate Hurst. ''You have only to sit in the dusky parlor a few minutes before the arrival of Miss Clailiorne, which Will lte about twilight. Then, when the geutlemau enters, he will go straight to your corner, of course, supposing you to be his darling daughter. Then, at. the same instant, you will rush toward him, pretending to think he is your father, whom you are ex pecting. And then you get the kiss." "Oh!' cried Minnie, putting her hands up to hide her blushing face af the last suggesfion, "my ctMwcience, won't, allow me. 1 am not expecting my father." The girls all laughed derisively. "I've known your conscience to stretch further than that ou more than oue. occasion, Min," said Rachel Warden. 'Tome, will yon dare do it, or will yon not?" "I will dare anything, and you know it, but you mjsf solemnly vow never to betray me." They all solemnly vowed, and the plans were laid forthwith. It. was just dusk on a lovely summer evening, 1 he country hoarding house, where our scene s laid, was overhung by the drooping branches of some tine, old elms, whose thick foliage deep ened the gathering shadows in the uulighted pailor.. A tall, hand some man of middle aire, wuom Minnie had well tlesci ilted has "splendid looking," walked quick ly up the path leading from the gate, a happy light in his dark eyes, and a smile of glad expec tancy curving the rare, beautiful lips, shaded, but not hidden, by a heavy, dark moustache. "1 think the traiu must lie u ," he was saying to himself, "oi else my impatience makes me think it late. I hope, she won't disap point me this evening my little darling.'1 Another moment and lie was within the flower-scented,- dusky parlor, where, curled up in the depths of a laige arm chair in the further corner, and half hidden bv the window dTaperv, sat a girlish form, whose heart was beating like a trip-hammer. He advanced at once with outstretched arms, "close to the darkened recess. "Mv dearest child!" "Oil! papa." And the next instant, the little figure was clased close to his heart, and not only ouP kiss, but a perfect, shower of them fell eagerly umh her brow ami cheek and blushing lips. But suddenly there was a little shriek, a startled well feigned look of horror in the girl's uplifted face, and breaking away from bis re straining arms, she hid her crimsosi cheeks in both white hands ami faltered out: 'Oh! let me go, sir, this instant. Oh! what shall I do? I I I thought it was papa." So she did, the little fraud, but she knew erfectly well that it was another girl's "papa"' whom she meant. "It is I who should lieg pardon, my dear young lady," said the gentleman, who had stepped back, and was surveying the lovely, shrinking lit.Je creature with a queer admixture of amusement, embarrassment, and pitying admi ration iu his beantifnl eyes. Bnt ere the words had fairly left his lips Minnie was gone, and throwing herself down upon the bed in her own little room, she bnried her hot cheeks amoug the cool, white pillows, and gave way to a passionate bnrst of tears. "I never will do such a wild idi otic trick again never!" I don't care how much the girls laugh at me for backing out. Oh! I could just die of mortification. I shall never, never have the conrage to look him in the face again." It was, indeed, several days be fore Minnie was herself again. In the meantime Miss Claiborne had come and gone, and Minnie, watch ing from the window, had seen the pretty stylish young lady prome nading in the grounds on toe arm jf her handsome father, and she v - had no doubt that he was even then laughing at the story of her own foolish escapade. W hen nt last the unavoidable meeting ltetween Mr. Claiborne ami herself took place. Minnie's saucy eyes were downcast, and a guilty color dyed her face from forehead to chin. To save her life she could not meet those eyes which she felt were readiug her very soul and laughing at her contusion. But on the contrary, Mr. Clai borne tried so kindly to make her forget it, and lead the conversa tion so skillfully in his own easy way from one subject to another of deep interest to Minnie, that liefore t he evening was half over she could look up into his face and smile almost as naturally as though that miserable madcap adventure had never been; and in a week- or two they were the best of friends. ".Miss .Minnie," said he one eve- uing, the very last before the breaking up of summer boarders, "do. you remember our singular introduction to each other in this e..rv I'luiml" 1 i , infill Did she remember f Minnie glanced around, aud the parlor, in its dusky solitude, with the breath of late roses, scarlet honey suckles wafted gently iu through its open windows, bronght. back most viv idly that other evening, ami those warm, delicious stolen kisses, whose memory had made her life half paradise, half purgatory, ever since, lhey chanced to be alone, and Minnie tell, painfully em ar rassed. Her eloquent blushes were her only answer. "Come, Minnie, tell me," he went on, bis lieautiful eyes brim ful of mischief as a schoolboy's, "were you really exiecting to meet your father m that eventful eve ning?" "Oh, Mr. Claiborne, don't!" And bright, saucy, daring Minnie Moore, unable to bear another word or look, crossed her arms upon the low window sill, and bow iug her bright head n (ton them,' wept a if her heart would break. Oh! what a bitter, sweet memory those kisses in the twilight bad proveu to her. Mr. Claiborne was grieved and shocked at the startling effect of his playful question. Minnie was always so gay, so full of mischief, he had never dreamed of her taking anything so seriously. But now her bravery was utterly broken down, and she sobbed oat the whole story of her foolish joke, and begged his forgiveness like a naughty child. "My dear child," said he at last, stroking her golden hair so tender ly that Miuuie thought, she would like, to sit there forever, "I hare nothing to forgive. I suspected the t-nith long ago, for I have a mischief-loviiig little girl of my own, you know. But, indeed, Minnie." with one of his rare, lieautiful smiles, "it was the very sweetest moment I have known for many years. If I were not so old " His voice ceased here, and he was silent so long that Minnie looked up and saw an expression ot such yearning sadness on his dark, handsome face, that It touched her heart with pity. "Oh! Mr. Claiborne, yon are not s old," she cried, impulsively. No one would think so; I'm sure 1 never did.". Then down went her golden head iqiou the window-sill again, lor her words had brought a sud den light into Mr. Clailxu lie's eyes that fairly -dazzled her.

Scales, and wotii for him manv friends. From what we eould f learn, and from observation, we 'should say ma w iikcs county would go perti oeratje. . Dr. York lias been making strong effort, oil his prohibition record, aud when Gen. Scales tells tlie people Jim Blaine is a prohi oinonist and that Yorfc is support ing Blaine, he waxes warm. At Dohson the revenders were in fall force and whether Dr. York made a point or not, at a given signal irom. a laigenian, the ne groes, both male aud female, shout ed for , York. , They crowded the platform and the crush was terri ble to the sjieakers. Such howling I never heard. At Yadkin ville there was an ex citing1 time, as the following shows: Gen. Scales in bis rejoinder charged Dr. York with having' a petition at Raleigh for a collector's place. Dr. York said it was a false . hood. Mr. Glenn, of Winston, step ped np and said he was responsible- tbT the charge1 that it was a fact: he did", have a petition for a coltectorTs place. , York 'You are a liar.'1 Mr. Glenn (excitedly) are ad n liar." Then Dr. Nicholaoi came front of tbe stated and said: You to the "You are a liar; I saw tbe petition my self' Quite a commotion ensued bnt it sooii qnieted. : ;- Gen. Seales proceeded, "Dr. York has charged me, with being a traitor to my couutry. I deny the slander of Iteihg a traitor, j'went out at the dictation of my State and fopght through , the war, and shed; my Wood in her1' defence, and I hare a woaod On me that wilt canty me baiting to my grave, and I declare here iu Dr. York's pres encei and . the pi esence - of the world, that a man who would charge treason ou me for my course, and the noble soldiers, Itoth the living and oar honored dead, is a slander er and a coward." . (Loud cheers.) Geu.iStiales then said ' hat he had proved at Wilkesboro that Dr. York' had run for a lieutenant's ik- sition In a company. He wanted to let all the Union blood out of him. i He begifed the hoys1 to go into the war aud said that he would rame along with the physic attd the milk cans, &.

Ws speech vigorons and Incht, produced a happy effect and drew coutiaual applause. He spoke half au hour aud 1 regard his speech as one of the most effective I have ever heard. , York's reply was strong aud adroit.' Gen. Scales, in reply to York's oft repeated references to ''Scales and his Secession Democ racy," mentioned that in 1881 he was not a secessionist, but that when called on by the State he en tered the ranks : aa a private aud received .a severe wouud- Allndtngto this, York iu the course of his rejoinder said Scales was wounded in the ; hack of his leg. Up to this niotueu t tbe crowd bad been a remarkable quiet and orderly one, paying particular at tention to tbe speakers, but these words of York's produced great, ex eitcinent iu an instant. The in dignatiou was intense, particular ly among the targe numlier of old soldiers present who iu by gone day8had serve I with Scales. Oeu. Scales interrupted York, bnt tbe latter did not- modify his language. Gen. Scale then came forwaid and declared that York iu making tbe statement lied in bis throat. Scales said, "If Dr. York is not a Kar, coward and scoundrel he will slate who told him." These, vigorous remarks evoked tremendous excitement aud up roar for a considerable time. York eventually proceeded with bis , i-iecb, laying he tad heard men ; Qgfeest It,- bnt did not recall who 1 1 M parries were.

Mr. Bryson told him he would exhibit it after the adjournment of tbe discussion; and wheir that was over the parties met at the foot of the stairs, and tlien Bryson told Trull that his in terruption was only occasioned by his excitement in responding to the act of Mr. Pickens. Mr. Trull, as' Mr. Bryson understood, remark ed that it was "all right'' but as be: moved on, a friend asked him, "Did you cot hear Trnll say that be did uot feel called upon to an swer the questions of every jack ass." Bryson turned and asked Trull if he had used snch language, and when, tbe answer was in tbe affirmative Trull was knocked down and then quite, an active row animated a crowd of several hundred people for the next five minutes. No weapons were drawn; nothing bnt ' fist and skull was brought into play; and though there - was some excitement for a while, it was subdued without re sort to more force than one town marshal, with his locust club, was bound to use. "Asheville Citizen," Aug. 23d. Endorsing Cleielani Great Ihibh Demonstbation. New York Academy of Music Packed. V New York, Aug. 28 The Cleve land ratification meeting is in the Academy of Music to-night iu every respect a phenomenal success. No meeting like it in point, of num ber or in the wild enthusiasm of the audience has lieeli held this campaign, aud in many respects it has not been exceeded in years. The meeting was called by leading Irisb Americans like Gen. Martin, McMabou. Jas. S. Coleman, Judge Kelley, General Burke, and the prominent offleers of the Sixty Ninth Regiment, which is known us the Irish regiment or the city. It was called to give an emphat ic dental to the lies circulated by the Repnblicans to the effect that large numbers of Irish Democrats in this city intended to vote for Blaine. In this purpose its success exceeded the hoes of the nust confident promoters of the meet ing: - It-' -was the first opportunity af forded tbe leading Irishmen of the city to join in an emphatic express ion ol their intentions ud they made the best of it. Almos: the entire audience were Irish Ameri cans, with here aud there a sprink ling of American workingmen. Mrs PariielL by her presence, also nailed the lie that she was work ing against the Democratic ticket A thorough: eanvaaa of the audience showed that the prominent Irish politicians, the chief officers of the Irish societies and the Irish lead era of trades-unions were present, and among' them quite a number wboiiw-efofbre have voted the Ue publican ticket. The meeting was called for 8 I M. As early as 6.30 I he doors were thrown open and the people besan to iour iu. Half an hou later rockets and bom lis begau t o aaeend in front of the hall, and Irving Pla.-e was a blaze of light and Hacked bva rushing crowd anxious to get into the meeting. At 7.13, three-quarters of -an honr before tbe meeting was Jto open everv inch of standing room was taken, even the corridors and lob bies being packed, and the itolice were forced to close the doors and deny admission to eveu those who' had tickets. At the time the meeting opened Fourteenth street and Irving Phwe for a distance of a block of the Acadeiuv was crowi ed with Irishmeu and workingmen No overflow meetings were hehL as nrenarations for them had uot been made, the managers explain i ns the omission ou tbe ground that they had no idea tbe meeting would anywhere near as large as it was. Inside the hall the enthusiasm was at tbe boiling point, and so was tbe heat. The cheering was spontaueOns and unanimous. A peculiarity of the meeting was the nne irthly Irish groan which went up from thousands of throats at every mention of Blaine's name. It is an expression of disapproval rarely beard in political meetings even in this city, where tbe Irish settlement Is large,1 and a pro ml uent Irishmen said tbat be bad never heard anything in tbe coun try like it, and if anyone question ed that tbe meeting was Irisb through aud through and thoroughly sincere, that groan j woold silence an aouDts. As the prominent Irish leaders appeared on the stage; the assem bly broke into repeated : cheers which turned into a three times j three and a tiger as tbe curtain rose shoving the lire-sized portraits or Cleveland and Hendricks, which were suspended from the ceiling and bang in mid-sir. directly in line with the f rout of the stage, - The meeting was addressed by Senator Jones, Hon. , Patrick A.

DEEMS D. D. A young gentleman of sincere character, a member of the church of which I am pastor, gave me the following experience: He said that, to the liest or his knowledge, not a drop vf an v. sort of intoxicating liquors had ever Passed his lips. He knew it had not, so lar buck as he can remem ber in his childhood. He has, therefore,-, no temptation to drink, from either a strong habit, or a love for the taste of wines auf other liquors,T-aiid yet ho mail tains a daily4 warfare with the appetite.' He never passes a s 1mii without a strong inclination to enter. He has to rein himself up, and draw himself away, not to enter and take his first drink. This is not au occasional or spas modic feeling; If is I he one regu lar daily conflict of his life. 1 My friend gave graphic descrip tions of one or two such pitched battles, when the-desire became almost strong enough to overpow er his will. I did not ask him alsiut his father, but I did say to him: "Was your grandfather addicted to diiukingf" . " He said: ''No, neither he uor my father; but. my great grand father was an habitual drunkard." I desire the young men who may lie among my readers to (Hinder these facts, not iu the light of re ligion, but under the illustration of.-.-science.-' Obsei vat ions, . scien tifically conducted, have demon strafed the doctrines of heredity jtointed out iu the Bible. Heredi tary traits often leap a generation. An insane man's son may be er fectly sane, and the insanity break out in his grandson. Iu the cross ings of" marriage that tendeuey to insanity may Ihj weakened, ami by and by entirely disupiear, just as any taint or stain in -the blood may lie largely purged out in t he course of generations where mar riages happen to bring better blood into the family. I say "hap leii," liecause, alas!, so few. mar riages are ever formed with any view whatever to the improve- ment of the race. In the case of my youtyf friend it leaped two generation. . If he liecoine a father, his sou maV not be afflicted with this great trial to which he is periietuallv subjected; but his grandson may, and, if not he, almost surely his great grand. sou will, it lie should give way - aud iHHOine a drunkard, it will spnng up again in some of his descendants. But il he should successfully resist, to the end, and should marry a woman iu whose Hinily the H)isoii of strong drink has never come, the desire in the next descendant who has it. will lie much feebler than in the case of my friend. And so it univ fi nally be purged out ol the blood. Every manly man, of noble im pulses and high character, who takes upon himself the :e-M)Usi- bilitv of paieiitage, must have a profound interest .u the fate of his descendants. A feeling of rever ence which men have for ancestors shoots out a branch in the direc tion nf descendants. If I honor my grandfather who was a hero, and my great grandfather who was n sa.i nl, neither of whom 1 have ever seen,- I will naturally desire that, my great-grandchildren, hU though they may never have seen me, will, if they do not honor my memory, at least have no -occasion, in the despair of their inability to. fight against an inherited fcvil curse my name ami curse my ex istence as the fountain of their sorrows. Setting aside all the teaching of the sacred Scriptures, with all oil er ethical considerations, one's honorable self-love should keep one in purity of living, not simply for one's own sake, hut for the sake of those for whose existence in the world he is resMinsibl I ask the young meu among my readers to go back and ouder I he exMrience of my friend. - Uoii reflection I am inclined to think that it is extraordinary only in the lierfect resistance which he has made to his strong inclination, up to this date. There are prolwlily tens of thousands who, nuder oth er circumstances, have fallen. Nothing is moie absurdly against the truth of history than the slate uieiif that "such a man is oiily'hi own enemy." The gloomy fears, the d? p nd iug iews, the weariness i soul that many complain of. would often disappear were the blood made pure and healthy before reaching the delicate vessels of the brain. A ver's Sarsaparilla mHtlos and vl. talizes the blood; aud thus condu ces to health of body ami sauity of mind.
