TEMPERANCE. interrogation. Did you over think, when you meet and drink. Men of tho country, men of the town, That women's tears and children's fears From your crystal glasses are draining down? That hopes -so high are doomed to die, - Drowned in the liauor you long to taste! , That grand ambitions, and lofty missions, . And admonitions are going to waste? " S .That a demon dire, with fangs of fire, Lurks in the wine-cup's sparkling foam, . While serpents of death, with tetid breath, -- ; Are poisoning Youth, and Hope, and Home! " Pleasure you sought what has it brought? : Has it not lost you friend on friend? l::) - vo not delay; dash it away - - - Ere it shall compass its awful end! . Edward E, Kidder, in National Advocate. Drunken Snakes. -v '. It may be or curious interest to trace tha nncrnlflr rminftction which seems - to exist oetween the serpent used figuratively , in - Scripture to ' represent the evil one, and intoxicating liquor.- ' It is a fact, and one perhaps not generally known, that- a snake will avail itself of any opportunity to drink whisky and get on a debauch as readily as any old toper. lathe course of a lecture by the Rev. Ben.- Deering, a cele bred temperance . advocate, he stated ' that upon one occasion when in early life, he was employed in a distillery somewhere, in the backwoods in Kentucky, the em- - p'.oyes knowing the habits -of snakes in the above connection, suspected, that they were stealing liquor from the establishment, a nd ripped up the floor and discovered a con catenation of drunken :. moccasin snakes, a foot or more thick. After that their habits were more closely watched by - Mr. Deering, and they were often seen to cautiously- ap proach the premises, lap up the liquor, and either crawl lazily out in the sun to sleep off the intoxication, or to seek the society of their )mpanions; for it produces in snakes the same desire for social intercourse that it does in men. Some years since, in ; India, a cobra was discovered in one of the military camps, and the soldiers desiring to capture.. " it alive with its mate, a pan . was filled: with wine and placed, near it. The snake soon discovered it, went after it, and after be coming mellow" sought the society .; of its mate, which the soldiers knew would fol- ' low, and were both captured and sent to the British Museum in London. A snake at its best is the most loathsome thing, but ohl a drunken snake! v :.-' ' Y . When a man i3 drunk his walk is serpen- . tine as the course o a snafce, and wnen ms L spree culminates in dehrum tremens, terrwT of a snake, and when his takes the form of hideous reptiles coumg ahout him. Alcohol is well known to be one of the most effectual remedies for the bite of . a snake. There are other facts which might be mentioned in this connection.; The Bibli , cal metaDhor. "it biteth like a serpent and stingeth like an adder," may have been . chosen with a greater regard to the propriety than is generally supposed. Witness. Whisky Arithmetic Under the above heading the ; Cincinnati Enqyirer prints the following: "'How many drinks of whisky do you average a day?' said one gentleman to an other as they were enjoying a social glass at -' a. well-known resort on V ine street vesterdav afternoon. -c--y- Ohf takine' the vear round. T nrssnmn -j . " 'And how long has this being going pn? -.-Was asked. kt " 'Straight along for twenty years, I guess; my patients he is a professional man just a3 well a-s I ever could.' " 'But how much whisky, taking your own statement for it; do you suppose you have drank during that timef ' Tin sure J don't know; I never thought about that.' . . "'Well, let us take another nip and then figure on it.' And they did, and here is the result of their work;' . . - : '"Ten drmks a day would be seventy drinks a week, or 8,610 drinks in a year. : In twenty years that would give the enormous number of 72,800 drinks. Now, the average . drink taken in this country is said to be sixty .coa gaiion. inenoiviae tnis a.tuu Dy sixty, and you will find that you have ' consumed : 1,213 and a fraction gallons. Now, there are supposed to bo, on an average thirty-six gallons to the barrel. Divide 1,213 by thirty six and you find that-you have drank just about thirty-six barrels of the stuff. 'The old toper, looked at the figures and then at his friend, and then remarked: 'Well, let's take one- more, and then I think I'll gire my stomach a rest for a day or two.'" Tho Torch as a Weapon. In retaliation for the hard fight that is be . ing made by the temperance people of Leeds .

Hands. -There is now little doubt that Ihere is either a tplit between the Knights of Labor and the Miners' and Laborers' Amalgamated Assoia tion, or a mutual agreement to permit all in dividual collieries : t o resume ; work. :s It is rumored that the miners employed at the New-Lincoln Colliery, owned by Levi Miller & Co., a mile from. Brookside, are likely to go to work in: a day or two.1. Many -of the miners assert that unless their leaders drop the railroaders they will return to work regard ' less of the consequence, p A large number of the emloyes of the William Penn Colliery at Shenandoah repbrte'l for work unexpectedly and on givmg assurance tuat tnoy meant to stick i the colliery resumed operations wi h three-fourths of its regular force.5": The force of employes at Lawrence at Brown's colliery at Mahanoy Plane has also been increasing daily. It is .understood .- that Big Mine Run at Ashland, and Kehley at Shenandoah, will start in a few days; These collieries are all operated by individuals except Brookside. It is believed tnat every: individual colliery in . Bcnuyikiu county fimpnng cvr.. the Reading Ka lroad will be in' operation in a few days, provided that; they agree to ? pay 8 per cent.- advance; above - the $2.50 ' basis.

It is stated the question of . the Knights permitting th ' individual opera tors to resume worK was discussed at some length. - It is known that the Re iding Com panv has failed to make even a fair showing at any of their idle coUisries, the men being almost a Unit in favor or standing by ths striking railroaders. - The Reading people do not like this, and if they do not openly ro fnse to furnish cars to individual operators, it is asserted that they will not consent to an arrangement that is likely to keep their coliieries idle indefinately. : The agents of the Girard estate about Shenandoah have raisad the royalty on co il mined on their, lands by small operators. The increase is made on the ground that much coal leaves the collieries that is not paid for, ia consequence of the variable size of wagons used in hauling it about the town. This will force the operators to make an ad vance on the selling price of their coal to consumers.' ; The damage caused by the fire in the Packer Colliery at Lost Creek has not yet been repaired. The owners have often to I pay for "dead work" even higher wages thin r.l O m. 1 t An r . tue o jer rent, aavauce on tae tz.ou oasis, but the men decline the offer unless a con tract at the advance for the whole colliery i3 s'gned for the entire year. .

The few miners and laborers em ployed there have cut a large quantity of coal, and if the company can keep t.ie breaker going it is believed from seventy-five to one hundred cars can be shipped daily for at least a week. ; An effort was nude to start up Bear Valley shops by the company, but the attempt proved a failure,only a few hands re porting for duty, i Chairman John LI Lea received a commu nication from District Assembly No. 40, New York City, guaranteeing financial aid and stating th t an entertainment will be held for the benefit of the strikers.

Jones, of the State Auditor's office, of lad., who is connected with lh3 latest proposed exodus of negross frm the Southern States to South America, talks freely about the scheme. He is an active friend of all movements for the improve ments of. the condition of his race and was engaged in the first exodus of 1879, "This exodus," he said, "will be effectual v pushed, and by M y 1, we expec t to get our nrst party on tne road.

There are very few men .who do not pride themselves on always having the correct time; and wonderful and delicate mechanisms are devised to enable them to do so.

Columbus, Ohio, Aug. 18th, 1887. World's Dispensary medical Associa tion, 663 Main Street, Buffalo, Ni Y.: -Gentlemen For several years I have felt it to be my duty to give to you the facts in rela tion to the complete cure of a most aggra vated case of salt-rheum, by the use of your riften Meiil Discoverv ,An elderly lady SALT-RHEUM AND Rheumatism. relative of mine had been a great sufferer from salt-rheum for upwards of forty-years. The disease was most dwtressmg in her hands, causing the skin to crack open on the inside of the fingers at the joints and between the fingers. She was obliged to protect the raw places by means of adhesive plasters, salves, ointments and bandages, and during the winter months had to have hor hands dressed daily.; The pain was quite severe at times and her general health was badly affected, paring the way for other diseases to creep in. Catarrh and rheumatism caused a great deal of suffering in addition to the salt-rhcum. She had used faithfully, and with the most commendable perseverance, all the remedies prescribed by her physicians, but without obtaining relief.- She afterwards began treating herself by drinking teas made from blood-purify. Ins- roots and herbs. She continued this for several years but de rived no benefit. Finally, about ten years ago, I chanced to read one of Dr. Pierce's small pamphlets setting forth the merits of his Golden Medical Discovery ' and other medicines.

However, I realized that it would take time for any medicine to effect a change for the better, and encouraged' her to continue. She then purchased a half-a-dozen bottles, and before these had all been used she began to notice an improvement. Alter taking about a dozen bottles she was entirely cured. - Her hands wore perfectly well and as smooth and healthy as a child's. Her general health was also greatly improved ; the rheumatism entirely left her, and the catarrh was almost cured, so that it ceased to be muoh annoyance. She haa enjoyed excellent health from that day to this, and has had no return of either salt-rheum or rheumatism. The 'Discovery' seems to have entirely eradicated the salt-rheum from her system. She is now over eighty years old, and very healthy for one of such extreme age. - I hare written this letter, of which you can make any use you see fit, hoping that some sufferer from salt-rheum might chance to read it and obtain relief by using your 'Golden Medical Discovery for Golden' it is in its curative properties, and as much above the multitude of nostrums and so-called-4 patent medicines,' so zealously flaunted before the public, as gold is above the basei -metals. .
