A SEVN-YEAR-OLD'S 'IMPRESSIONS. If there is one thing I hate it is whisky. I am only seven years of age, but I have seen enough of whiskey to make me hate it forever and forever. I can't understand why people will drink it when it is such an awful bad thing and makes them look so wild and terrible. 0, I can remember how my pa used to look when he drank whisky, and I can remember bow scared mother was when he came home drunk. I used to think we were as good as other people, for we had a nice house and had enough to eat, and we all seemed to get along first-rate, except when pa would go to the tavern and get drunk, and then when he came home we would have an awful time. He would strike mother with anything-he could get hold of, and once when I told him he was a bad man to act that way, he took me by one foot and slammed me clean across the room. I was hurt and scared too, and mother she screamed awful, and then she picked me up and ran oat of the house. It was a cold night-yes, awful cold: I can mind that ve-ry well, for when mother took me to Mr. Weston's house they said I was nearly frozen. My leg hurt me awful bad too, and I cried and cried. When Mr. Weston brought the doctor, he said my leg was broken, and he set it, and it hurt pretty bad too, but I tried not to cry, for I knew it made mother feel kind of distressed. ' But I couldn't stop the cry altogether. It would break out sometimes. I tell yQu it is pretty bad to have a broken le. It is bad for a little boy, but I -e on it wouldn't be so bad for a big boy or a man. Ihated my pa after that. What did he break my leg for? 1 asked myself that question a good many times. Wasn't I his own boy? And hadn't he been good to me before? Then why should he rise right up and slam me across-the room and break my leg just because I told him he was a bad man to act so ugly and strike mother? , I talked to mother about it when I was lying with my broken leg, and it hurting pretty bad too, and she said it was whisky that did it. But I told her that if whisky and pa hadn't got together it wouldn't have been done. Whisky in a bottle wouldn't have done it, but whisky in pa is what caused the trouble. I told mother I wondered why people drank whisky when it made them so bad, and caused them to slam boys around imd break their legs. She said they couldn't help it. Milen they commenced they were compelled to go ahead. They b'ght try to stop, but they couldn't. whisky is as bad as that, oughtn't people tt. he very careful? I think they to shut their. mouths and strike nhEnd left when they come near to it. L- never asked mother to explain all about this, for she died soon alter, and I didn't have an opportunity to talk to her, but I suppose that he meant that whiskey would chase a man and get into his mouth and down his throat whether he wanted it or not. If that's the case, whisky is a terrible monster. Mr. Weston is a preacher, and he says it bites like a serpent, and stings like an adder, and he says that serpents and adders are snakes. I have been thinking about it a good de.l, and I can't just understand how whisky can get into the shape of snakes, but.that must be the way of it, for how could whisky chase a man and get down his throat, unless it did first get into the shape of a snake; and then run along the -ground and climb up his legs and plumap down his throat? AndlIthink this must be the way of it, because I heard Sammy Weston tell about a drunkard that had snakes in his -boots. I reckon the snakes couldn't climb clear up to the man's mouth and so they got into his boots. If Ihad to have snakes at all, I'd an awfdl sight rather they would get into 'my boots than to get into my mouth and down my throat. And;, speaking of boots, I've got my first pair on now. My pa z ever had money to buy me boots, but he had money to buy s- akes. Now, which is the worst? Snakes, of I said my mother was dead. Yes, she didn't live long after pa broke my leg and drove us out of the house. Mr. Weston says she died of a broken heart. I reckon when people die of brokeu m.earts they cry a good deal. That's the way it was with mother, anyhow. I asked Mr. Weston if he didn't-think *that when my poor mother died of a broken heart, somebody oughtn't to go over and make my pa die of a broken *head. He began it, yon know. Mr. Weston got up and went to look -for good book. I wonder if he thought it was wicked for me to say that. I continued. I said I guessed it would be about right, for he had given mother a broken heart and me a broken leg, and it would only be doing him justice to give him a broken head. Mr. Weston didn't say anything, but continued to look for the book. But I am glad my mother is dead. She sighed so much, and she cried nearly all the time, and Mr. Weston says he be. lieves that she has gone where there is no sighing nor crying, and where God wipes all tears away. I don't reckon pa will ever get io that good place where mother and God are.s When Iget to be abig man, I intend to fght whisky and enakes as long as I live. I don't like people that sell whisky. If I could talk well, wouldn't I give them a blowing up? I,f: nobody had sold pa whisky he couldn't have got drunk. And if he hadn't got drunk, he wouldn't have broken poor mother's heart. And he wouldn't have broken my leg. H. Eliott McBride. THE NEw YORK HEnAL'S FINANCIAL ARTICLE in a recent issue takes i0 '2peful view of matters, and says that .st now the prospect is especially cheering, since the recent rainfalls have done incalcula ble benefit in regions that laid been suf fering from drouth. Th~e tinancialan industrial indications have iewise irn proved. The iron trade is better; higher prices are bid for steel; the demand for woolen goods has improived; many thou sands of striking workmen have returned to their labors; Europe, fearing lest her own crops be late, is buying our bread stuffs at enhanced prices; sterling ex change is very much lower; immigrants in vast numbers assing through Castle Garden on tum. way to develop, new territory in tne W st; bank e*x changes, taking the country as a whole, are very large; and the temper of the people generally is cheerful, and indica tive of confidence in the future.

Tw': Pl--W~iELPHIA Thnms thinks that it was not necessary for General Sher man to write a public letter condemning the false attitude in which one arrant demagogue named Tuttle, of Iowa, has apparently placed the Grand Army of that State toward thu President. The Grand Aimiy encampment will be held at St. Louis next fall, and a committee of citizens of that city, embracing men of both p~arties, came to Washington spe ially to urge the President to visit St. Louis at the time the encampment is to be hel, and the President gave a condJi tionlailpromlise to do so. The great mass of the veteran soldiers would have been glad to welcome the President as a guest on suchi an occasion, but one blatant de:2agogue, clothed with a little brief authority, has interviewed himself for the newsp)aper n opsto to receiv ing the Preside-nt, until General Sher man felt called upon to vindicate the Iod'in of the Union against the dis-' gracee 1.to which a baiblng fool would p'l-ge :he. The attempt to degrade the -oae o-- f the country by an open exhibitio of disrespect for the President come-s from one T1uttle, of Iowta, who happe'ns to have climbed his way to the hei *f theu Grand Army of that State. He was ~ sodier and a violent Democrat duringv thte war, and was several times a Democratie candidate for local or State opies. He was the Democratic candi dat for Governor after the war, when the Rc'eublcans proved to their own statation that he: was more of a cotton specula. 'r tha-n -old ir.
