RRIS?ON, MORALS AND PHILOSOPHY. Rsv. C. C. BROWN, Editor. My Mother's Wrinkled Face. Predicated to a dear, -oH Brother, j My mother's old face, it is wrinkled and wan, And the bloom of its beauty bas fled, As left but the leaf that clings to the tree, When its blossoms are withered and dead ; S*at the love that illumes the scars of the ? years, Undimmed in its beauty and light, Is true as the star that follows the sun, To brighten the dnsk of the night 1 The love of the world, may shine a3 the win*? a , . \ > Of the butterfly sapping the Bower, To vanish away when the honey is dry, And the wine of its nectar ts sour ? Bot the love that is shrined in motherhood's heart, Snows nothing of death, -or decay, * As the gold that endures when the clods of the mine, Are trampled in ashes and clay. My mother's old face, it is wrinkled and wan, But what with its worth can compare? Or rival the love unfailing and true, . ' tn its setting of wrinkle and cares So fade as it may io the Winter of years, And droop in the drifts cf the snow $ In ".he gardens of God will blossom again, The rose that was gathered below* Character and Respon?bi?ily. That brilliant writer, and genial Christian gentleman, Prof. Bl?ckie, -says that "character is the moral type impressed npon a man by the habitual exercise of nobie emotions and a well trained will." George Eliot tells os of "a man young, clever, beautiful ; bis manners io all were gentle and kind. When I first knew him he never thought of any tiling cruel or base. But because he tried to slip away from everything that was unpleasant, and cared for nothing else so much as his own safe? ty, he came at last todo some of the Ijttj&?* dccu8y ses&.as_jaake me&w?^ Wfb&* -definition is good, japru suggests freedom ?T??r^?sponsiJ!?7?ity. Quisque sitae forlun?e jS?er." A man is what, by the grace of God, he makes himself. Let him habitually, jjot spasmodically or occasionally, but habitually exercise noble emotions, that is,, let th? deed invariably follow t the feeling that calls for its perforar . ance, although self-denial, trouble, be required, and "safety" be imperilled, let him habitually toill to do his best, train bis royal faculty to execn te what he knows ought to .be. done, the true, the. g?nerons, the brave, the mauly thing; and that man constructs a char? acter Kke that of the Son of God. Let a gifted and gentle youth hab - itoally shrinj: from doing the manly ?c? bicadiehe would "slip away from everything that waa unpleasant," and .he w?l so degrade and enfeeble his -^wh^at wejfcay expect any tempia^ lion appealing to irjdMBS^ease or dread of danger to triumpR>ver any constitutional kindliness, or scruples of conscience that he may be conscious of possessing. Ile has no character. It is his own fault. He may be con? stitution al ly inferior in mental and moral force, but had he exercised what he had he should have gained .strength gradually, and, helped by Heaven, have realized his relation to the obedient and victorious bon of Man. /The man of character is master of Himself- he is a child of God ; he feels his immortality. The man without % -character is the slave of his fears and desires. Don't say he is not respon? sible, and. ought not to suffer the con _sequence of his weaknesses. He knows his responsibility. He would not try to do right on principle, and " now, be habitually obeys his caprices and has surrendered his manhood. Master or Slave ? that's the question fev all to consider and answer. Answer it by efforts, trusting in God for help. I "He that bel?evth shall be saved." Does not that mean that whosoever gives himself up to Christ, his Sa? vior, King and God, to be guided, taught, inspired by Him shall succeed in training his will to assert and maintain its Kingly prerogatives? Be a man like Christ, and let your character be your crown. He only .-Ls saved who lifts np his head, thus crowned, in the light of Truth, aud beneath the smile of God, When'er a noble deed is wrought When'er ?3 spoken a noble thought, Our hearts in glad surprise To higher levels rise." Dollars and Cents. PC write yon a ballad on dollars and cents, every line shall be perfectly true ; and Pm writing these verses On purpose, my friend, to present a few home truths to you. A qurter looks small when you're out with 'the boys,' fifty cents or a dollar soon goes; and a ride on the car or a beer is but five, which is 'nothing,' as every one knows. If 3rou squander a quarter each day of your ?ife, though it may seem remarkably queer, if you pul it away in the bank you would have $91.25 in a year. But a quarter a day is not half what you waste if 3'ou count your occasional sprees ; what you waste will well pay for your board and your clothes, and the rest you can save if you please. So shut off your treating and walk when you v^can, and give up the excitement y?u've craved, and you'll be quite surprised at the end of the year at the tidy amount you have saved. Why? The condition of the weather, slight indisposition of health, or visitors do not deter business men from be?Dg punctual at their place of business. This is pre? determined, and is not Wt to cootin gensy, because their heart is io it. But is it equally true with Church members? Does not their attendance upon Charch services and official duties depend largely upon slight contingen? cies? Do they not attend upon religi? ous duties and privileges, often because they cannot 2nd an excuse to stay away? Why is this? Answer your? self, now, Gr you shall answer in the day of Judgement, w-*en the secrets of all hearts shall be dieelosed. "What? soever a man soweth that 6ball he also reap. He that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but hethnt soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting." -i . * - To clean silver, first wash, to remove all the grease from the silver, then rub ?ich a woollen cloth, wet with ammonia and whiting, and polish on the chased and filagree parts with a tooth brush. How Women Begin to Drink. Oat of aa examination of 204 ine? briate women, I have found that 128 began their drinking by the use of beer:; 37 by drinking whiskey (as punch at first usually) ; 20 began with wine ; 8 with gin, and ll could not remember what beverage was first used. These young girls, mill and shopgirls, largely began by going to some so-called refreshment saloon with their friends, and the debutante usually began by sipping a little tonic (made of hops, sugar and water, charged with carbonic acid gas an?l colored with burnt sugar) ; beer soon followed, and soon rioting, other kinds of intoxicants, recklessness and crime; and what was an innocent, foolish girl yesterday, is to day a branded, crimi? nal,: and all for a glass of beer. Alas ! how many such ruined lives I have seen I B?er was also the beverage which the older inebriate women used, to en? tice the younger ones, to drink. A call upon one of these old sots was the -signal for a pitcher of beer to be sent for, and a little coaxing and urging; would result in the fiist fatal glass being indulged ia. The steps were then easy.. Beer is the it ap whick the drunkard maker sets for the feet of the unwary. And he usually makes sure of his prey because of it. A glass of raw whiskey would have presented but slight attraction to these over? worked half fed girls, had it been ot ..fered them at first. After that sleep j.ing dev?r, the appetite fdr intoxicants, had been aroused by beer, it became altogether a diff?rent matter, and at last, in many cases, chloroform or peppermint oil was added to the drink of these maddened creatures, so furi? ous had the appetite become for some? thing stronger. It may be of interest to note that of the 204 inebriate woman, 126 had been guilty of other crimes, and yet tltrbut 16 instances did the first com. mitm?ntvOf a crime ante-date the ?"habit of drinking. Also, that of^ihe beverages first used, while in but 3T eases it began with whiskey, in 187 it had become the favorite beverage. Several hopeless drunkards, far gone toward insanity, had never drank any other intoxicant than beer. One hundred and thirty-two were committed to the prison for drunken? ness ; 56 for offences, against chastity and public order, and 16 for crimes against property. Their ages when last committed averaged 30 1-2 years. Sixty-five wore between 30 and 41 years of age; 49 between 25 and 31 years of age ; 34 between 20 and 26 years of age ; 30 between 15 and 21. The remainder were over 41 years of age. Many of the older ones could not tell how many sentences they have re? ceived, showing the absolute useless ness~of3?ani^?ng these poor crea? tures while ?he temptations are left in their way. -dfl? To show the effect upon^lr' cmiBj dren of inebriate parentage, I collect? ed the following :. Of lit inebriate mothers, 33 of whom had inebriate husbands, 408 children were born. Of these, 227 perished in infancy and early child? hood, and of the survivors . many are doomed, evidently, to an early death.* In many cases the death of diese children was indirectly due to the inebriety of the parents, as cold, deprivation, etc. Ages: 27 of the 204 woraeu began to drink intoxicants j before they were ten years of age ; ll between the ages of 9 and 15 ; 74 between 14 and 21 ; 37 between 20 and 26 ; 33 between 25 and 31 19 between 30 and 41 ; 3 between 40 and 51. Average age, 18 1-2 years. More than one-half had formed habits of intemperance before they were 21 years of age, and more than one-third at the giddy age of from 15 to 20 in? clusive. One hundred and thirty two began to drink socially and with female friends. L. M. HALL, Supt. . Women's Reformatory Prison, Sherbourne, Mass. Pastoral Visiting. Pastoral visiting is of prime impor? tance. 1. It keeps the pastor in sympathy with his people. 2. It keeps the people in sympathy with their pastor. ' 3. It furnishes the opnortunity for concrete and personal in -notion, and for knowing the indiviuua! needs of his congregation. 4. lt furnishes the themes and in? spirations forhi8 pulpit ministrations. 5. It enables him to follow up the impressions made by the public preaching of the word. Happy is the pastor who knows not only the name of each member of his congregation, but his spiritual status and wants also. TUTT'S 25 YEARS IN USE.

The necessity of making a clean Bweep of Republican Federal ofi?cebold ers in the Southern States is admitted even by the Mugwamps. With the re? moval of these officials, a step impa? tiently awaited by the Southern people, the last vestige of twenty years of Re? publican rule will be swept away from the South. The Republicans may re? cover their ascendancy in the North ; but in the South, where for a time they had absolute sway, the prospects of the party seem for the moment almost hope? less. If it is to revive and grow.it must have leaders different from those who have so long disgraced it, and it must exhibit a dignity and character which it has thus far wanted. In the North, Republicanism bas been in its day a party of principles ; in the South, it has been from first to last only a party of plunder, a conspiracy of rascals to exploit for their own advantage the ignorance of a race which believed in its simplicity that the Republicans of the North had a peculiar claim to its regard. The history of the Republican failure in the Southern States must be melan? choly reading to even the stanchest Re? publican. Never was a great opportu? nity more wantonly thrown away. If Wilkes Booth's bullet had missed its mark, that history might have had a different and more honorable course. A noble toleration and patience were in Abraham Lincoln, and if he had lived, he would have labored for the full res? toration of the Union, and not merely for the temporary aggrandizement of bis party. The South had no unkindly feeling for bim, and be might have done much to give Republicanism a sound and honest beginning there. Rut the rabid politicians to whom the work of reconstruction fell, bad little of his magnanimity. The controlling senti? ment of the North was a desire to secure the rights of the colored race. The main idea of the Republican leaders was to secure the permanent ascendancy.of the Republican party. Some of them were disinterested in their views, but it is none the less true that the Republi? cans of the North were adroitly played upon, in the interest of political merce? naries of the South, and so Southern Republicanism became, to borrow John Randolph's phrase, a combination of the Puritan and the blackleg. The Puritanism of the .?North, in part hon? estly misled, in part through excess of party spirit, supported the adventurers who made tools of the negro to plunder States, fill their own pockets and send Administration Senators and Represen? tatives to Washington. The natural consequences followed. Republicanism became identified in the minds of South? erners with disregard of the Constitu? tion, with the most indecent extrava? gance and dishonesty, with the suprem? acy of ignorance, and the degradation of the public service. A hatred of Re? publicanism which years may be insuff? icient to. remove, grew up in States ^^^^Rgmiblicanism might have made M ffk'it not dominant. The humanV kt in the North found, ont that i^^^keen tricked ; the Re? publicans were^J?ed to give up every Southern State, and^psw the last visible sign of the Republican kleptocracy is about to be swept away. War in Europe. News and Courier. It is a mistaken and foolish opinion that war between any two civilized na? tions helps the others in any way, and yet this view has been loudly proclaim? ed every day in the United States, as perhaps in other countries, for the pur? pose of reconciling the people - to the prospect of a war between two great Empires. The argumeut is as selfish as it is shortsighted and silly. Produc? tion and manufacture, all the enterprises conducted by art and science for the benefit of mankind, are to be impeded indefinitely in England and Russia ; the capital of those countries is to be consumed ; debts are te be created on a gigantic scale-the English Govern? ment alone has voted a credit of ?52, 000,000 for the work of "preparation men are to be turned from industry to idleness or worse than idleness ; ?heir savings are to be sqoauJ??red ?.nd them? selves converted into consumers instead of creators of values ; the plough is to j stand idle in its furrow and the seed corn is to be ground, and the people of this neutral country and of that are asked to believe that trade will be tuigh tilv stimulated, and to rejoice because the prices of every article of food and comfort will be greatly enhanced. It is unquestionably true that to very many manufacturers and other persons in the United States the tidings of a peaceful solution of the pending contro? versy in Europe would cause a profound disappointment. War would put money iu their purse, and they cannot look beyond their purse. Little they would reek how many lives were destroyed in battle, provided only that they could obtain the contract for manufacturing the powder and moulding the bullets that slew the victims, or if in any way, or upon any account, their personal or corporate dividends could be increased in proportion to the destruction of prop? erty across the water. The peace and prosperity of millions of Englishmen and Russians, Afghans and Indians, are as nothing to them when weighed in the batanee agaiust thc brief period of pros? perity that would come to their own workshops in the ever t of war. It is a pity that this is true, but that it is true is abundantly proved by the comments contained every day in some of the newspapers of this country.
