To let^a vacant heart
That'? still in good repair,
Complete io ever j part,
The oalj mortgage care.
Unfurnished it is true,
And haltered are its walls ;
- Old songs still echo through
The bare, deserted halls.
Yet through all wear and tear
It's just as good as new ;
The buds that blossom there
Are sweet as ever blew.
Who'll toke a life-long lease
Come fair or stormy weather,
Where love shall reign, a~d peace?
Kow don't all speak iog:<her.
Another Criticism of the Late
Legislature.
In a letter to the Temperance Work?
er Mrs. Chap?n says :
What of the Temperance outlook
in this State? we ate asked. If I
answer the question from a human
standpoint, 1 would say very un?
promising.
I learned while in attendance upon
the sessions of the Legislature the
correctness of the scriptural advice,
**Put not confidence in Princes* or
in the son of man, in whom there is
no help."
For four years, we have been doing
just what we are told was the woman?
ly way to do. We have written our
petitions, and . quietly handed them
to some Representative, to present
for us, and what has been the result ?
They have been just as quietly
_ ignored, and I am thoroughly con?
vinced that if the dreadful Liquor
traffic, is ever driven from our State
. we women will have to do more
than we are doing, and it is twice
that we realized it. It really seem?
ed to me, as if the Legislature, had
met in the interest of the Liquor
Fraternity. The petitions we 6ent
in, were the most humane, and rea?
sonable petitions that had been fa?
vorably acted upon by other Legis?
latures, but "High License," seemed
<K to haveabsorbed every other thought,
_ and the pleadiug voice of the Women
ibr the protection of the Home, and
the children was passed unheeded by.
Elders, Deacons, Churchmen, stood
side by side, with the Rumseiler, in
demanding license, and "Barabas not
Christ" was the decree.
Does High License decrease sa?
loons ? Of course not. Chicago has
three hundred more saloons, siLce
the High License ordinance went
into effect. The Mayor owns quite
a number of them. Nine of the Al?
dermen are aiso owners of saloons.
There is where the Nation is drifting
right under the heel of tlie Foreign
Liqonr seller. Our own men coufess
to pitabl? wetness, when they ad?
mit, that the officers of the law,
whom the people are taxed to salary,
cannot enforce the laws but "a sa?
loon keeper who pays a High License
will take an interest" and prohibit
everobody but themselves from sell?
ing. If the men who tak? the sala?
ries, do not "take an interest'' why
are they employed ? If a saloon keep-1
er can prohibit, why cannot the paid J
officials of the State? In other words j
I learned -in the Legislature, that
.?Prohibition" was possible, provided j
H was put into the hands of a salo un j
keeper. What are we left to infer?
That saloon keepers, have more power
than Judges, Juries, Sheriffs, and a
half dozen other officials. One Grand
Jury, declares that they "know that
125 persons, are violating the license
law iu Beaufort County," and yet,
instead of presenting the law break
srs for punishment, asked the Legis?
lature to enact a special law to pro
tect these criminals ; also recommend
that a new jail be built.''
'.We mast have the Liquor tax to
pave our streets" says a politician.
But 1 think if mothers had the con?
trol,
They could pave to-day
Thc broad highway
With something not so white as the souls,
Of the innocent boys at play,
Why can't men pave the bustue^s maris.
With something harder, than women's hearts,
ls there no gold, that will serve their turn,
Save the shining gold of the bends, that rest,
Soft on a loving mothrr's breas: ?
Must these go down to the Drunkard's grave?
In order that we the streets m tv pave?
There is a terrible lack of adminis?
trative ability somewhere, or no such j
dreadful price would be paid.
The first petition we sent was a re-1
quest that the juvenile convicts and
tli? women might be separated from !
the more hardened criminals, and the ]
Penitentiary cease to be a school for 1
crime.
In visiting a Penitentiary recently !
I was surprised to find a bright little i
fellow so young, he was taken at half!
price on the train. I could not be- !
Heve so young a child could be a
convict. One of the prisoners told me
that when he first entered the prison j
he used to go around at dark, hunting
for a lap to go to sleep in, but that
now he had forgotten ail that, and th?'
men had taught him to "swear like a
trooper." I asked the child where
hts father was ? 'My Pa is a drunk?
ard/ lie said, 'and my Ma is dead,
and I have nobody to take care of
me." Of course not, the State has
all it can do to take care cf the
saloon keepers. It cannot give a I
thought, or enact a law, to ameliorate j
the condition of the victims of the j
horrible traffic.
Another petition was one which !
had passed t he Legislatures of twenty- j
seven States, and by enactment of j
the last Congress placed tetnperanee j
instruction in all schools under Fed- j
era! control ; in the District of Co- j
lumbia. at West Point, the Annapolis'
Naval school, and all Indian schools, !
and yet when we asked that the ;
children of our State should have the i
same advantages, it was thought
'curions.' "lt will hutt the party,' is ;
the old excuse, but that con!?! not be
given this time, f??r "the Patty" b-ad
er, Grover Cleveland, signed it both
as Governor of the Stat?* of N?*w Yolk
and as President of the United States.
So we knew 'it would hurt the liquor
Seller* was the reason it was ignored,
and our children allowed to walk
blindfolded into titc tmps set by law
for their undoieg. VY%> unto yon,
law makrrs. for it w?-re iVetter foi you
that a mill stone were pul about your
necks, and you cast into tin* depths
of the s*'a, than that yon h int? one of
Christ s little ones.
In Germany, ali boys under six?
teen, caught sun ?king are arrested by
the police. In Baltimore and many
other cities, the same law prevails.
lt was sneered ai, when priposed to
our Legislature. Let us pray that
'the hearts of the fathers may be turn?
ed unto the children-.' Talk about it,
agitate it. Save the boys. We are
not half enough iu earnest. I shud?
der when I think of our Ship of State,
amid the perilous breakers, and re?
member that saloon keepers are fast
getting command. Dou't neglect
your prayer, every day at twelve
o'clock, for the downfall of the horrid
traffic. Remember three hundred thou?
sand prayers ascend with yours to
Heaven. Keep up your weekly
prayer meeting. If cniy two be
present, God has promised to be in
the midst.
Our lamented Paul II ay ne, said in
his own matchless way, to the 'Wo?
man's Christian Temperance Union :
"Despair not, for
With prayer that shall fail not, yr falter
With Xoil that must wait upon prayer,
With a Faith, which though childlike, shall
conquor,
Grim cohorts of Giant Despair,
You can conquer the wine-nurtured demon
And turn his brute serfs into men.
'Till the earth which now groans in its an?
guish,
Shall wear its youth's beauty again."
God help us, for there is no 'help'
in man. S. F. CHAP?N.

One Hundred and First Session.
Report of the Committee on Tempe
rance.
It is gratifying to note the increas?
ing opposition, both to the use and
sale of intoxicating liquors. Every?
where public sentiment is being
trained -to frown down this iniquitous
business, and the day has dawned
when the church must awake to a
question involving such immense
issue. The temperance principles of
our Methodism commits its ministry
and laity to the temperance cause.
While we are encouraged by our
past achievements, we are still mind?
ful that the eud is not yet. There?
fore be it,
Resolved, 1st. That we declare our?
selves in sympathy with the prohi
tion movement, and that we will use
all legitimate means to advance
prohibition.
2nd. That we condemn the use of
intoxicants at social gatherings, and
earnestly request our people not to
indulge in such dangerous customs.
3d. That the attention of the teach?
ers of our Sunday Schools be called
to the importance.of an early incul?
cation of temperance principles.
4th. That as ministers, we will
endeavor to preach at least once at
each Church in our respective charges
during the year on temperance.
5th. That we commend the Tem?
perance Worker to our people for
their support, and that we will en?
courage as far as possible the circula?
tion of temperance literature.
J. M. PJKE, Chairman.
Statuary Christians.
It is said that when Oliver Cromwell
visited York minster cathedral, in Eng?
land, he saw in one of (he apartments
statues of the twelve apostles in silver.
* Who are those fellows there V be asked,
as he approached them. Ou being io
formed, he replied. 'Take them down
and let them go about djiug good.'
They were taken down, and melted,
and put into his treasury. There are
many who. like these silver apostles,
are too stiff for service in much that
the Lord's work requires. Some are
too nice, some too formal, some disin?
clined. They s?aod or sit stiff and
stately in their dignity, and sinners go
unsaved and believers uncomforted, un?
hoped, for all tho effort they will make
to lift a hand to serve them. T??y
need to be melted down and sent about
doing good. Statuary Christians, how?
ever burnished and elegant they may
be, are of little real service in the
cause of Jesus.
Owe No Man.
It is said there is a religious sect in
Georgia of the Baptist persuasion
governed by a most wholesome and at
the same time most singular by-law.
Considering the strangeness x>f the said
by-law. they have obtained considerable
influence. The rule with them is
'Owe no man.*
They 'church" a member quicker for
violating this rule, than other denomina?
tions would for a member getting drunk
and swearing. A business-religion like
this would be a splendid institution in
any community.

Christmas lAxt for Finding Out What
Your Friends Want.
In severs.! families of our acquaintance tho
custom is fellowed of putting up a Christmas
lint t~o or ihr"ti weeks previous to thc day.
Each member hangs un a card, 0:1 which ho
writes whzt he would like, and thc watching
of these lists us they appear and the whispered
consul tatioas over them furnish a great deal
of amusement; No limit is given to the im?
agination, ar.d perhaps father wishes for a
pair-vf horses and mother writes a request
for a satin dress, but with wise forethought
they also j ?ut dowa something winch little
folks can get or make, like a pair of mittens
or a book mark. Tkr? younger onc? enjoy the
indulgence of wishing, which aIwavs has its
charms, and they are perfectly satisfied if two
or three of tho more humble requests are met.

hours of careful meditation, cud includes a
thick kitten, a box of paints, a thimble, a iit

To Cook Sweetbreads.
One of 3*our correspondents wishes to know
of some good way of cooking sweetbreads, j
They arc a frequent dish on our table, und I i
alway.'; l-rst soak them in cold water a few |
moments, then skin and trim them, i. e., re- j
moving all mere lat, then I boil them fifteen !
minutes, laying thc n afterwards in cold !
water for ten minutes. They are then ready j
to fry, broil, bake, or stew with green ->eas
or a simple cream sauce. To fry them they |
should be cut in pieces the size of an English j
walnut, rolled iii cracker crumbs and fried
quickly (in fat enough to cover) to a light
brown, then pour over thom a tomato sauce !
prepared in tills manner. To one quart of j
fresh or enured tomatoes add two heaping I
teaspocmsfiil ot flour, cook thoroughly*, strain, ?
season well with butter, salt and pepper. ?
Sweetbreads prepared in this way with a j
tomato sance aro nico for tea. They can j
also be cut' in slices and broiled, seasoning !
them well with hatter, salt and pep]>cr, cr j
dip]^! in bread crumbs as Ijefore and flied. !
I: i either case servo them with slices of j
broiled or fried tomatoes arranged to cover I
the slices of sweetbread and garnished with ?
parsley.
Sweetbreads prepared like chicken or veal j
make good croquettes anti are very delicate .
when fat ina or coin starch is used in mixing j
them instead of flour. When served with
green ?fieos, cut them in small pieces after '?
th?y are cooked and seasoned and add them !
to tho peas just before they are dished. To
the ordinarytaste, sweetbreads iv vd the ad?
dition of a vegetable flavor and are not quite
t-> palatable wheuserv?d with asimple cream
sauce, but a little mace added t> the crea.-*
sauce is an inmrovenient.-Good House- j

Honey in the Chimney.
Wild bees are becoming very plentiful
in the country around Emigrant G.up.
A score or more of trees have been cut
near that village during the past ei^ht
months, some cf which proved very rich.
In this connection the following
strange circumstance is noteworthy.
The chimney of James Davis's house,
Bear Valley, had nut been used .for a
year or two-that is, not by the family.
Kecently it was found necessary to start
a fire in that part of the house. Thc lire
was duly started, but for a while it did
not burn very successfully.
The fact is there was an obstruction in
tho chimney in the shape of a large do
posit of honey in the comb. The fire
caught in th? honeycomb, thc flames
shot up out of the top of the chimney to
the height of about ten feet, and it was
thought for a while that the house would
be destroyed, but it wasn't. Over 200
pounds of honey ran down the chimney.

An honest parent in Xew London wrote
this note to his little son's teacher :
" Please excuse B-this P. M., as I
would like to take him to the circus.
Since older persons, like myself, like to
go, although the most of us won't ac
kowledge it, I can't blame him for want?

Something You Need-Shorthand.
"Why?"
Because it will aid you more than anything
else in acquiring knowledge. Because it will
serve you in case of misfortune.
"How can it be learned ?"
By the aid of a book studied at home and
lessons by mail from an accomplished teacher.
"At what expense ?"
The trifling sum of $6 00, including book.
"Wiiy so cheap when Colleges advertise the
same course of instruction for S'25?
Because a new text-book is used that re?
duces the labor of learning proportionately
to the difference in price by the system being
made simpler than heretofore and more prac?
