Speaking of temrJeranco roformcrs 8 mic oho tells a good story at the expense of ono of tho ujo.it ardent of them, a per son whose whole heart was in tho work, to such an extent that he hadn't time to mend .his fences or take care of his farm. A distinguished tompcraqco lecturer was to address tho citizens in tho town where the reformer lived, and the latter t) k it upo i himsolf to nice' him at the slatiou, and take him iionui with him and entertain him. The lecturer was talkative and full of the cause "There now," said ho as they drove past a handsome farmhouse, ''anybody can sec at once that a temper ance nmn live* thero. Everythiug in dicates it ; there's thriftf and industry, and contenbinont, and, no doubt, a hap py home. Isn't, it so?" '?Yes," was'tlfP'TeTflyy- ^8qnie>?? ia n,, temperance man, aud has a very pleasant homo and family." UI was CMtain of it," said the lectur er. "I>ut hero is a place," he continued as they cami to a house with dilapida ted fence and neglected appearance; that you'd pick out arywhercas the house of a drunkard. Sec the ol 1 hats iu tho windows, and the old broken-down fence an l the neglected appearande everything has?you can't make any mistake about such a place?it sticks out all over it that it's the homo of a rot !' He was about to appeal to his entertainer lor the truth ol his surmises, when that gen tleman pulled rein, and turning the team up to the neglected fence, remarked with something like a sigh, "I live here. And what could the lecturer say* - lie might lave Raid, 'Well, all sigus fail in dry times.' but he didn't. Ek.\U o>Dkatii.?It has60 happened that I have seen many men and women dio. Without design or di?ipo?itiou on my part, I have very many times beeu pres ent when sick persons wore ebbiug to eternity. I have scon meu and women, young and old cultivated and ign ortint orthodox and heterodox, in their lost moment*, and, as a rule, all of them passed!away, if not without regret, at least with entire resignation. None of them showed dread of the future. Their thoughts were fixed on what they were <jui t rig, not on what they wore going to. I observed that soiuo o!' thorn were troubled, perh ip? distressed whon thoy first thought they could not recover, I but that, the nearer their end came, the less apprehensive aud calmer they grew. Having once banished hope, tranquility seemed to descend upon them as a sab stituto, and afterward, if free Irom physi cal pnin, there was unruilled pcucc. If encouraged to believe they might get well, or if they had a favorable turn, the old auxiety, with something of tho former apprehension, reappeared; prov ing that their mental disquietude was born of their expectations of life, not of their fear of death. Thus was establish ed a clear analogy between material and f pirtunl anguish under the same cireum stances. As we have seen, they who are badly hurt, rr seriously ill, experience suffering iu going back to life, while the downward pith to death both for the body aud the soul is paved with smoothness aud Kcrcatty.
