that lafge bundle of work to the sickly, care
worn, and broken-hearted widow And told
her that you could not afford to Rive any
more than eight cents for the shirts, and
seven for the overalls, because so manj
wanted employment that you thought yoo
might get them done for even kss was that
a thing for a bountiful-giving God by behold?
You would be ashamed of it if there were not
so many others who do the like to keep you
in countenance. I heard tbe poor needle
woman say, that when she did so much for
so little mont-y she felt that you were un
just. Her heart went up to God against you.

Depew. 'I fired on the New York Central. I
stood on the footboard a3 an engineer on the

up my mind to get an education. I studied
at night and fitted myself for Union College

the rabbi, "but he Is invisible: no one has

FACTS AND FIGUEE9.
Judge Kimball, of the Washington (D. C.)
TYilif p nonrt. in a recent temperance address,
gave some suggestive facts and figures, "
toiiows: 1
F6r the fiscal year 1894, the United States
Government issued 228,000 liquor licenses.
iralent to one licensed saloorlfoi
each 299 people, not to mentionthe unlicensed
liouor sellers. In Washington there are 605
licensed barrooms, one for each 415 people.
TArjirHm woTYion and children and temper
ance people, and there are less than 100
drinkers to support each saloon. The esti
mated annual consumption of intoxicating
liquor in the United States is per capita:
.whisky, four gallons; wine, one gallon, and
beer forty-six gallons. This at the lowest
wholesale price amounts to 8833,000,01)0,
snonr rUrcrtw ht thfi indirect cost by loss of
wages, loss of health, position and life, is far
greater. "We are all," said Judge Kimball,
"individually and collectively responsible
for this state of affairs, and we must not
shirk the responsibility, but fight the battle
of temperance until we win, always remem
bering that we have God on our side, and
that God and one is a large majority in any
fight. The temperance organizations are
doing a great work and will be victorious in
the end. I may not be here to see it, but I
will wait for the glad tiding3 at the gates
above." '
THE S0TTE.CS OF POVEBTT AND - FATTTXHISII.
The mystery is solved, how it is that we
find in America pauperism and want. No
nftiintTO nr th clnhrt is a3 rich as ours in re
sources and rewards so' liberally toil and
talent. Thero should be no poor, except
from unforeseen accidents, in America. Yet
the plague of pauperism has broken out in
our cities past seeming cure; waifs and
vagrants line streets and highways; institu
tions rear in all directions their massive
piles; economists are alarmed. The prime
source of pauperism and of all its attendant
social evils is the saloon. Thither the
laborer and the mechanic bring their hard
earned dimes, to' be afterwards penniless
when demand for work slackens; their
wTAf ked. the ruin of which pre
cipitates embezzlements and fraudulent
bankruptcies, their energy is paralysed and
idleness is consecrated. In a saloon men toss
off their money to purchase shame, while
wives and children at nome cry wruiw. j
and when the wretches have been murdered
by the poisono'us draughts, the doors of the
county poorhouse or of the orphan asylum
must open to shelter their families from the
biting blast of winter, to save them from the
pangs of cruel hunger. .
Bishop Hendrickson, of Providence, ap
pealing for charity in favor of the hundreds
of inmates of his orphan asylum, was not
afraid to say that those helpless children, in
the far greater number of cases, are de
pendent upon alms because "saloons murder
their parents." A similar verdict will be
rendered by those- who examine into the
sources of ail forms of poverty in America.
Five-sixths of the poverty in this country
comes from intemperance, and mere idle
i vn , n ians4ons of social reform so
lone as alcohol retains its present sovereignty
and despotically exacts in tribute the lifo
blood ol the people. Archbishop Irelanu.

A Str&nge Story.
A young man, walking to the house
of his brother, a yeoman, found the lnc
at a neighboring town very fulL lie
shared i the room of a merchant whe
was openly counting out his money.
Having occasion to visit the garden,
and also to borrow a knife, he accepted
the loan of a knife from the merchant
On returning to his room he found th
merchant gone; he went to bed. stept,
rose early, walked to tis brother's, and
was arrested In the afternoon for mur
dering the merchant v In his pocket
was that tradesman's knife; and be
tween blade and handle was a guinea
of Mary and (William.
At the Inn the merchant's empty bed
was stained with blood, and, though
the merchant body was nowhere to b8
found, the young man was condemned
for murder and hanged in chains on his
brother's farm'. Here a swain ob
served that the body moved; ft was cut
down, life was reanimated and the
youth fled to sea. Taken by Spaniards
In South America, he rosc to be war
ien of the gaoi; and while in enjoyment
of that office recognized among some
English prisoners the person for whose
murder he had suffered. ;
The fact was that the merchant,
while the youth was absent in the gar
den, discovered that he was bleeding
freely from a vein which had been
ODened that day. He hurried to the
surgeon in. the dark, was seized by a
press gang, served his Britannic Majes
ty in a ship of war, was taken by the
Spaniards, and, at last, met, in a gaol
5f South America, the very man who
had been hanged for murdering him in
England. Saturday Review. .

ibout the tragic death

"No, madame; he died," said the at-

How It I Done.
The simple reason why the harts of prize
fighters show no sign and disappear so quickly
is because in the treatment or training tne
flesh Is hardened. They can stand a blotr
like the kick of a horse and not show A
bruise. Other men's bruises heal slowly, but
if they would us St Jacobs Oil. they would
find there's nothing in the world like it to
heal and restore. It:acts like magic All
athletes should use it. I It's the great renova
tor. The same with cuts and wounds, if.
used according to directions, it will heal
surely and make the parts sound again.
Many a man sets up for a publia benefac

his wife a word of encouragement.
