f " NOTHING TO. DO.
'Nothing: to do I" In this world of ours,
Wkere weeds spring op with fairest flowers, .
"Where smiles bare only a fltf ul play,
Where hearts are breaking every day !
"Nothing to do !" thou Christian soul,
Wrapping thee round in thy selfish stole';
Off with the garments of sloth and sin,
Christ the Lord hath a kingdom to win.
"Nothing to do I" , There are prayers to lay
On the altar of incense, day by day t -
There are foes to meet within and without,
There is error to conquer, strong and stout.
"Nothing to do!" There are minds to teach
The simplest form Of Christian speech;
There are hearts to lure with loTing wile
From the trimmest haunts of sin's defile.
"Nothing to do!" There are lambs to feed,
The precious hope of the Church's need;
Strength to be borne to the weak and faint,
Vigils to keep with the doubting saint.
"Nothing to do!" and thy Saviour said, .
"Follow thou me in the path I tread."
Lord, lend Thy help the journey through.
Lest, faint, we cry, "So much to do!"
THE END. .
The year was ominously begun, and it closes
still more ominously. If people will persist in
unbelief and self-security they are without
excuse. Everything is full of warning, earth,
air, sea, sky, the affairs of nations, and the very
stones and timbers of men's dwellings, night
and day, with ever-Increasing portent, are cry
ing out to every one that hath ears to hear, or
eyes to see, or sensibilities to feel, that "the end
of all things is at hand." Some flatter them
selves that all Is well; that Napoleon Is now
effectually put out of the way, as the suspected
Antichrist; that the Pope Is being humbled; that
Protestant arms ace taking possession of the
world; that freedom is on the ascendant; that
man's day of glorious earthly triumph and
blessedness Is dawning; and that these old
predictions of coming catastrophe are no longer
to be regarded. Deluded people 1 The. great
doctrines of propheey are not affected by what
may be Napoleon's fate. The Antichrist is not
manifested till after Christ's waiting people are
"caught up to meet the Lord in the heaven."
"Then shall that wicked be revealed." Whether
it be Napoleon, or some one else, remains to be
seen. Meanwhile, God's word forewarns of
wars and rumors of wars, of distress of nations
with perplexity, of strange and mighty over
turnings and runnings to and fro, of startling
phenomena in the heavens, and agitations in
earth, air, and seas, of outbreaking wickedness
and perilous times, of waning faith and growing
iniquity, as the signs and tokens of the oncom
ing Judgment. Are these not here? Behold,
ye desplsers, and wonder, and repent! Pro
phetic Times. , j

WOMEN AND WINE.
Woman bas never been associated with wine
without disgrace and disaster. The toast and
tbe bacchanal that, with musical alliteration,
couple these two words, spring from the hot
lips of Beusnality, and are burdened with
shame. A man who ' oan sing of wine and
women in the same breath is one whose pre
sence is disgrace and whose touch is pollu
tion. A man who can forget mother and Bis
ter, or wife and daughter, and wantonly en
gage in a revel in which the name of woman
is invoked to heighten the pleasures of the
intoxicating cup, is, beyond controversy and
without mitigation, a beast. "Dost thou
think, because thou art virtuous, there shall
be no more cakes and ale ?" Ay, cakes and
ale, if you will, but let it be cakes and ale.
Let not the name by which we call
tbe pure and precious ones at home be
brought in to illuminate a degrading feast.
Of the worst foes that woman has ever hid
to encounter, wine stands at the head. The
appetite for strong drink in man has spoiled
the lives of more women ruined more hopes
for them, scattered more fortunes for them,
brought to them more shame, sorrow, and
hardship than any other evil that lives. The
country numbers tens of thoiwand-l nay,
hundreds of thousands of women who are
widows to-day, and sit in hopeless weeds, be
cause their husbands bave been slain by
strong drinks. There are hundred of thou
sands of homesf scattered all over the land,
in wllct women live lives Of torture, going
through all the ohanges of Buffering that lie
between the exUemes of. fear, and despair,
because tbose v,uom they love, love wine
better than they do the women they have
sworn to love. There are women by thou
sands who dread to hear at the door the
step that cce thrilled them with pleasure,
because that step has learned to reel u ider
the influence of the seductive poison. Tuera
are women groaning with pain, while we
write these words, from bruisesaud braUli
ties inflicted by bubbands made mad by
drink. There oan be no exaggeration in any
statement made in regard to this matter, be
cause no human imagination can oreate any
thing worse than the truth, and no pen is
capable of portraying the truth, i'ha sor
rows and the horrors of a wife with adrunken
hnbband, or a mother with a drunken sou, are
as near tbe realization of bell as can be
reached in this world, at least. The shame,
the indignation, the sorrow, the sense of dis
grace for herself and her ohildren, the poverty
and not unfreouently the begaary the
fear and the fact of violence, the lingering,
life-long struggle and despair of countless
women with drunken husbands, are enough
to make sll women ourse wiue, and engage
unitedly to oppoue it everywhere as the woraf
enemy vt their Kex.

O t.uian I woman ! Is it not about time
thnt !iin thing were stopped ? Have you a
bus' ii ud, a brother, a son? Are they stronger
tbxti their neighbors who have, one after
another, dropped into the graves of drunk
ards ? Look around yon and see the desola
tions that drink baa wrought among yoar
acquaintances, and then decide whether yoa
bave a right to place temptation in any man's
way, or do anght to make a soolal custom
respectable which lead hundreds of thou
sands of men into bondage and death. Why
most the bottle come out everywhere? Why
can tbere not be a festal oooasion without
thiavugar guzzling of strong drink? !
Woman, there are some things that yoa
can do, and this is one; you can make drink
ing unpopular and disgraceful among the
young. Yoa can utterly disconntenanoe all
drinking in yonr own bouse, and yoa can
bold in suspicion every young man who
touches the cup. You know that no young
man who drinks oan safely be trusted with
the happiness of any woman, and that he is
as unfit as a man can be for woman's society.
Have this understood, that every young man
who drinks is socially proscribed. Bring up
yonr children to regard drinking as not only
dangerous but disgraceful. Place tempta
tion in no man's way. If men will
make beasts of themselves, let them do it in
other society than yours. If your mercenary
bnBbands treat their oustomers from private
stores kept in their counting-rooms, shame
them into decency by your regard for the
honor of your borne. Keoogize the living,
terrible fact that wine has always been, and
is to-day, tbe ourse of your sex; that it steals
tbe hearts of men away from you, that it
dries up yonr prosperity, that it endangers
your safety, that it oan only bring you evil
If social custom compels yea to present wine
at your feasts, rebel against it, and make a
social custom in the interests of virtue and
purity. Ine matter is very much in yonr
own bands, lbe women of the oountry, in
what is called polite society, oan do more to
make tbe nation temperate than all the legis
lators and tumultuous reformers that are
struggling and blundering in their efforts to
this end. .

Our Conclusion. As far as we are able to judge
(and we have given the subject no little cousldera'
tlon and attention), the conclusion to which the
sclentlQo world, the press ami tho public htve
arrived with regard to Rand's 8a Moss Farinb,
are founded on incontrovertible fact; and we have
no hesitation In warmly recommending the article
to our readers as an essential of the economic
cuisine, aud as a genuine luxury. To dyspeptics,
Invalids, and all those requiting a light and ddllcate
food, we feel assured It will prove an lavaluable
bleslng. In fact, we can hardly say too much In
favor of tnls most delicious and palatable food. It
will be found for sale by all of oar druggists and
