"u WHAT IT COSTS. fu| An old bachelor of Macon Ga , a moth- jDj_ odical gentleman, who kept an account of w|, his daily expenses for many years, makes a on fearful exhibit for a balance sheet. For ter eight \cars he hod drank on an average g;, about a quart of whiskey a day?most ot nilJ this at 10 to 25cts. a drink, the whiskey |y costing him at least 82,000 lie had paid at tnr a hotel as much as four dollars a day for we whiskey. Two years ago he stopped driuk- aflr, ing, but continued to smoke and up to the jrj time he said that''he let up on whiskey ho Qf found that he had smoked up -lOOlbs tobac- al,| CO?about a pound a week and often 4oz a J,,,] day. Thc400lbs tobacco cost him at least ' SUOO Ivr 8 years; but this was not the only fin( expense; it led to many other iudu-lgowcieB ^rc and the contracting of bad habits not only bri expensive but degrading. How much good Tri could this money have done if expended for tax food and clothingfor the poor whom wo aU ju ways have with U6. From a financial stand- bui point how much better it would have beeu for this systematic old bachelor to invest p,.t tins money in suuio manufacturing enter- wj( prixo that would give employment toothers sor and add to the cumulative wealth of this country. The thousands spent annually in b|e whiskey and tobacco would run thousands of looms converting our cotton into cloth, jj,., giving employment to the poor, opening new CX| channels of industry, doing away with, in a 0t|] great degree, the necessity for jails, poor no{ houses and peuiientiariaries. uui HABD .TIMES! t,M The times aro very hard?money is scarce, 'u^ aud provisions high ? I don't see how the the people can stand it, "is a remark we often jur hear. Still we find many persons who can ?f 1 afford to take three or four drinks a day or WU1 smoke three or four segars aud we don't un- uia d erst and it. hoi Four drinks a day 40cents. Six days in the bui week ?taking for granted that the saloon is clos- wjt ed on Sunday?inako S2.40. Now suppose the money had been applied Lo thus; _ _ a,rj 81bs bacon at loc?45cts, 1 peck meal 30cts..75c. fiet lie would have had in his pocket $1.05. oil' Would uot the bacon anu the meal have t|,c done him uiorc good?given him more real satisfaction than the whiskey ? No man can w|, keep an account of the money spent in uu- j)rc necessary indulgcncics without being star- 0ft( tied by the result. Money worse than lost ^al ?because it enslaves him and uuGt.s him pC, for the proper performance of the duties of life. The amount squandered in liquor would bring ease and comfort to many a aro poor family, to say nothing of the peace and quiet that would flow along wirh it. t,KI tro "A HINT IS AS GOOD AS A KNOCK-DOWN f TO A BLIND HORSE." r,,r In the Revised Statutes of South Oaro* bee lina, page(413, occurs the following passage: Ion "Sec. 14 Every vender or retailer of spir- wj, ituous liquors, who shall clandestinely, or , ? i i 1 i Li vol belund, or within any screen, booth, or other place of concealment, exchange, give, deliver, sell or retail any spirituous liquors, arc shall, upon conviction, be lined in a sum not wh less than fifty dollars, nor more than two m, hundred dollars, according to the discretion j of the presiding Judgo." This law still stands on the statute hook; 1,1 hut is it a terror to i vil doers, or enforced a|' by the constituted authorities? There . is an old saying that "what is everybody's jhL busiuess is nobody's business;" hut it uow and then happens that public abuses make 1 ln such revolutions in public opinion that ?l swift punishment will come. Do the saloon keepers realize the fact that they make themselves liable to a fine of at least ?50 for every drink sold or given away behind 810 a screen ? Wo would like to know why an these screens arc put up, anyhow. We ask ail e. _ :. r. .: i _ . i t.: ? lur iniui (iituiuu. la iiifrc uii)u?iii^ wrung (j^ going ou behind them? anything of which w; the saloon keeper may fe 1 ashamed or the Un old or young man who .slips behind them so m( quietly? We d:> not see any screens in the |ie dry goods, grocery or drug stores?theiye u,j has a full sweep clear through, and there is j,;. nothing revolting to the taste. There must eri be something wrong in those screens?some- " ,\ thing behind tlicm, or somebody behind ey, thorn who does not want to be seen. We i\u iusist upon their removal to gratify a land- ? > able curiosity, and to placo those amiablo wj caterers for dangerous indulgcncies right an before the public. If grass will not -'o, it p0 may be necessary to try the rest of the as sentence. V li.li.L5 fc?Al\ we WILL IT PAY 1 Cat In this utilitarian country, about the first question which suggests itself when any project is proposed is, will it pay ? The S;U money value seems to be the only true stun- t'K durd. Does the licensing of drain shops '"c saloons as they are now aesthetically called ? pay ? ai" We do not mean in a moral sense, f.>r we take it that no m.iii in his senses would for y,M h moment think of.such a paradox as that; /;<l' hut do they pay in i financial sense that is the <|Ucsiioii. ami it is well worth studying J11"1 Citizens advocate the keeping open dram c*'' shops because the money is needed t< delray i 'rl1 the expenses of the town. It is a penny ce' wise and poind foolish policy which propu> an< gate? and a policy that t nils to demoralize and degrade society. It is robbing I'eler to pay 1 * hi I. to levy a tax upon any system which will most assured y pile up a much heavier tax up u the pockets as well as the j i morula of society. qI' - ' ? 'wm* " i . * , The N Y. Tribune, in discussing tItc mi sh?<psof that great Bedlam. says tliat 70 licenses to so called hotels have been uitcd by the Excise Hoard while the total uiber of places where strong drink is sold twice as great. The Tombs is crowded I, aud brimming over with persons await; trial. The criiniual courts are overtimed with business. The institutions Black well's Island is overtaxed; week afweek gangs of men and wotunn go to ig Sing and Auburn. The number of irders and crimes of violence is appalling large ; a Sunday without a murder is a c thing, while almost every d iy of the ck is marked bv some ahootiii" or stal hitio j r - r ray. Tlie loudest apologist for liquor nking would not deny but tha', tho most tliis sickening array of Ciime is eliargee to the liquor traffic, either directly or lircctlv. fltis is a fearful picture : hut do we not i the same state of things in a lesser de to everywhere that liquor is sold ? ?Vhat igs on brawls and fisticuffs to feed our ial Justice Courts, but whiskey ? What :es the county with trials in the Courts of stico of murders and all sorts of outrages) I whiskey ? What fills our jails with criminals, our lituutiaries with convicts, our poor houses b paupers and many a happy home with row and ruiu of body and soul, hut whisf? and yet people who are called seusiaud good. It is claimed by the advocates of license it the tax is necessary to pay muuic.pal puuscs aud it lightens tho other taxes; iu ler words, that a higher tax would be lessary if the saloons were closed. Will ; every caudid uiau admit that nearly all : brawls, quarrels, disturbances aud pitilawsuits originate iu liquor ? Look at i tax upon the county at every court lor ers and constables, the fees of lawyers, magistrates aud other officials, besides the ste of time iu trying pitiful cases. How ny persons are called away from their ties, to the ucglcct of their legitimate siness, to haug about a Court room as a ness, juror or defendant in some case? ok at the uulla boua costs footed up lilist the county every year by public ofals.

A Drunken Father arose from his ep one day, after he had been drinking, d saw his little daughter preparing food, d turning to her with a tone almost tenr, he said, "Millie, what makes you stay til uie?"

' -- ' ?AtiltEKABliE Mcau.?It is impossible! Co estimate properly the iuiuieuso influence ^ which is exerted upon a household by the atmosphere of the family table. I fit is true that oue does not come out of a room the same person he went in, the mind ever after ^ retainii<; the impress of what affected it thero, and what oreat results must be achieved from the meeting in the dining-room, from the conversation indulged in and the sentiments habitually expressed u there. A neat, well covered table is iu itself a lesson to the children. w I have noticed that a sensitive child al- tli most invariably has better manners when \ dressed in his best, and have seen with sur" prise the effect produced upon a certain small boy of my acquaintance by handsomely dressed ladies who ars nolitc to him. To the inviting table, where there should always be something attractive, however simple the meal may be, most children will come prepaicd to behave properly. It is really worth while, and, when philosophically considered, is a matter of great iuiportaece. to lay aside as far as possible all thoughts of hard work done before or to be d me after the meal and to allow no vexatious questions to be d s ^ cussed at this time. The habit of brooding over our work and exhausting Ourselves by as goingall over it in our mi??Jls is one to be "i studiously avoided. There is nothiug takes from one's energy more than this, and it is a frequent cause of insanity. ^ Everybody knows that food digests bettor or when in agreeable company. It was some* (le thing more than pleasantry which made a friend remark that he could uot have his wife and child pass the summer vacation g, away from him, as it gave liini the dyspep- hn sia. The poor child who comes to gnef at ^ t c table, and is sent away fioui it with his dinner Half eaten. tuid who suffers the whole afternoon tith an undigested lump of food in 'tis stomach, is to be pitied, and it is a wise plau to cxplaiu to children that in this way they will be punished hy bad conduct at the table. It follows, then, that pleasant surprises ^ in the way of preparing favorite dishes, that good taste and pa i n staking^ n arranging al' j? the appointments of a table nud dining- Ft room rise above a mere ministering to the *c animal existence, and affect the fiin issues j of life.

There is no doubt that the origin i.' home of the horse is not Europe, but Ceutrai Asia; ] for since the horse in us natural state depends upon grass for its nourishment and fiectuess for its weapon, it could n>t in the beginning have thriveu and inultipied in the thick forest-grown territory of .Europe? Jj" Much rather should its place ofpropuga- Hi tion be sought in those steppes where it . i still roams about in a wild statu. Here, of too, arose 'lie Grst nations of rider1 of which k t we have historic knowledge?tli; Mongo? ?? liaus and the Turks?whose existence even 1,1 at this day is. as it were, combined with J" thatoi the horse. From those regiois the se horse spread in all directions, especially j j." tuto the stenoes of S nithcrn and Sou thoast em Russia and into Thrace, until it finally found entrance into the other parts of Ku- ^ rope, but not until after tho \uiniigr?tioi| of Si the people. This assumption is, at least, " strongly favored hy the fact that the farther ^ i district of Europe is from those Asiatic si steppes, i r., from the original liouie of the horse, the later does the tamed horsosoein to have made its historic appearance in it. Si Ti The supposition is further confinntd by the fact that horse raising auu ng ilmost every tribe appears as an art derived from neighboring tribes in the cast or northeast Even ii Honor the ox appears exelmively ? as the draught animal in land opcratiins at x home and in the field. while the hurst was used for purposes of war only. Its enploy- j merit in military operations was d 'tern nod '1' hy swiftness alone. That tho value ?' the horse must originally have dependel on its fleetness can easily be inferred fron the nau'c which is repent id in all (he branches _ II of the Indo European language, and sisnifies '-hnsfenMig," f|uick."
