'Don't you think, N'elli dear, if we have nn abundance of cake, and fruits, and ices, e may get a'ong without meddling with utoxicatii'g drinks ?' I put the question with some trepidation 011 the eve of my sister Nell's birthday ball. It had always been a point in our family to umor and spoil pretty Nell. She wan the outigest, the cleverest.and by far the hand somest of a large family of children, and by one accord the pet. She always wore tlio old point luce und the diamonds that mamma ad Inherited from somo remote source, and her dreses were liothing commoner than lk and India muslin, while tho rest of us girls were glad to get shilling print. When I married, Tom and I fell into the old custom, and when pretty Nell came to visit us, she ruled us quite as arbitrarily as he used to rulo us all at the old home j and now she was with us for a long stay, and we were giving her a birthnight ball. 'Here, Janet, you can spend all this, if you like, dear. Don't be too sparing, you now Nell has set her heart on having a ig show,' said Tom, putting a roll of bills 11 my hand, as ho started for his counting- house. My good Tom, the best husband that any woman ever had, the truest, noblest mau, with only one falling that failing, alas I which seems to cling to these loyal, gener ous natures wherever we find them. I knew all about it when I married him. I took im with my eyes open, for better or worse, and I had never regretted my choice. 'You see, Janie,' Tom said, a month or two after our marriage, when ho had dined with his club, and reached home at two on the following morning, rather the worse for his dining 'you see, little wife,' ho said, when his Bobersenscs were returning, 'this sort thing won't do thero's n weakspotiu me somewhere, Janet. I can't tako a drink and be done with it, like men I know j the very taste of the stulf seems to demoralize me, soul and body, If 1 drink at all, I drink to my shame, so tho only way, Janie, dear, is to touch not, taste not, handle not,' And I took him at his word. I banished the wine-glasses and decanters front the side1 board, ami never a drop of the alluring pol son crossed the threshold ol our happy home. Mi, Heaven i that my hand, my weak, cowardly hand, should be the one to let this demon of death and ruin luto the (.acred sanctuary of my household gods I But Nell came, and the birth-night ball was planned 'Now, Janet,1 cried my Imperious sister, wliou we were arranging the list lor tho en tertalument, 'don't be prudish and silly. All stylish entertainments are provided with the proper driuks. We must have brandy and wine, and Roman punch, at least.' But, Nell, dear,' I sald.'would not plenty of cake and fruits, and Ices, and all that sort do, and not meddle witli iutoxicating drinks ?' Nell langhcd.and tossed IiercurIey,blondo head. 'Oh, Janie, you are bucIi an odd thing. she said. 'Why, I suppose we might do without any supper at all, but it would look- very skimpy nnd disgusting, just as It will look if you have uo punches. Pshaw I the idea: and James Arbuthnot coming I Now Janet, if you mean to stick to your silly no 'Well, It all turned out just as I knew it ! would, Nell had her way, and her Roman punch, nnd tho ball was a great success. I watched poor Tom, with my heart In my mouth, ns ho moved uneasily nboul tho lablo upon which tho liquors wero displayed, ltsccmcd to me that somo subtile attraction kept hlin In that part of the room ; and nt last, urged, and ridiculed, and laughed at by Nell,ho went up and drank a Roman punch; and tcu minutes later a glass of cham pagne. Tho ball ended, nfter the fashion of balls, In weariness and wanness, and pallid day dawn. Tom and I went to bed, but did lint get much sleep, and nt half-past nine lie was due at his olfice. I noticed how pale he looked when he kissed me good-by,and thcro was a curious, furtive look in his eyes that I did not comprehend. Hut he went away, and I spent a busy day putting my house In order. By dlnner-tlmo alt was tldy,and ba by had on a fresh frock,nnd wo sat down be fore the window to watch for papa j but pa pa did not cornel Hour after hour passed, twilight fell, and the stars came out, but no Tom yet. 'I want my dinner,' said Nell, coming down in full dress j "Mr. Arbuthnot will be here to tako me to the opera in nn hour. Come, Janet, ring for dinner to be served, and for goodness sake act like a sensible wo man. Where's Tom ? Why, about his business, no doubt. Why should you care 1 I should think you had enough of him i Come and cat your dinner, you silly girl 1' A mouthful would have choked me. Hut Nell dined, and went olf to the opera in her point-lace and diamonds ; and baby and I kept our watch. Eleven 0 clock, and no Tom I Never sinco the day of our marriage had such a tiling happened, save on the occasion of those awlul club-dinners, and my heart told me now what was the matter I And It was all my fault I I had suifered the temptation to come under my husband s eyes. What ever happened, the fault was mine. By-nnd-by Nell came home, nnd went up to bed, trilling a bit of operatic song. 'Janie,' she called from the upper- landing, looking down through her blonde curls ; 'I . forgot to tell you, we saw Tom at the opera !' 'What do you say, Nell ? You saw Tom V 'Yes ; but don't make such a fuss over nothing It is so ill-bred, Janet. We saw Tom ; he dropped into our box foi about ten minutes. There, don't stare in that way.for mercy's sake. There is uothlng wrong ; he is only drinking a llttle.as all gentleman do. You'd better come to bed, Janet,' But I sat there, hushing baby in his cra dle, with Mich a bitter pain at my heart. Midnight came, one, two o'clock, and then there was a shuflling step on the porch, a rattling movement at the door. I knew it was Tom with his latch-key, and I sat there while he vainly tried to get it in the lock, with a sinful, unwomanly anger kindling in my breast. I was so tired, so vexed at what I had done, that it was a relief to get indig nant at Tom. I rose at last, and opened the door, feeling very stern and relentless. Poor Tom came stumbling in, groping about with his hands to keep from falling, a piteous, vacant look on his dear, handsome face. The tears rushed to my eyes, and I longed to clasp him in my arms, and tell him it was all my fault, for suffering the temptation to come in his way ; but instead moved by some perverse impulse, I drew myself away from him, as he caught at me. 'Now, Janie, dear, don't get mad,' he fal tered. 'It is enough to make mo mad,' I cried out, 'kept up all night, to see you come home in such a plight as this. Oo atvay, Tom; I can't beartolonk at you. I wouldn't care if I never saw you again.' 'Wouldn't vou. then? All right ! Here we go again, and we won't come home till morning next time. He reeled away from me, and out at the open door, and I heard him blunder down the steps, and cross the street. Then my pettish anger gave place to fear.and 1 rushed fter him. but he was out ot sight ; and hearing baby's voice within, I was obliged to return without him. Ah I merciful Heaven, what I suffered through the remaining hours of that awful night, and through all the following day, which did not bring him home to me 1 It was crowing dusk.and Nell wasdrcssing for a party, while I sat at the window.hush inir babv to his evening sleep. The poor, little boy had called incessantly for hlf pafk but papa did not come. Would he ever como again ? I felt liko going out into 1110 dark, rainy street to find him, and was won dering if I might leave baby so long, when a group of men below attracted my atten tion, I looked again, and my heart grew as stone. 1'our men bearing a stretcher upon which was a protrate form I In a minute's time there came a rap at the door, and I hurried out. Thero ho lay, the cold, cruel rain beating down upon hi white face and clotted hair my 'lorn, the husband I loved so well. 'Oh, for Heaven's sake, don't say he's lead don't say he's dead, sir !' I cried, in my agony. Well, niadame, I hopo not,' said the officer who accompanied the mournful pro cession, 'but he's very badly hurt. He was shot in a drinklng-house this morning, nnd was left for hours without attention. If he is brought round it will be a miracle al most,' And it was more than a miracle It was Heaven's own tender mercy that brought back the fluttering breath to his lips, the life-blood to bis ghastly cheeks 1 He lived again, but suifered through long months of low fever and wearing torture lived to love me and forgive me tor my weakness aud my unwomanly anger. Since that time of sore agony we have given our pretty Nell not only birth-uight but bridal balls; but we never had a Roman punch I 'Touch not, taste uot, handle not That is Tom's motto, and mine. And, for the many who are liko he is noble, gener ous men, unfortunately possessed of a crav ing appetite for strong drink my dear bus band is bravely working j and Ws object Is not to abolish tho sale, but, better) still, to abolish the making of all intoxicating drinks. (IIUF.CTF.l) Tl) II1S PALI, llKAItlMt. Some time ago n citizen of Pittsburg was very III. He fell Into n stupor, which lasted threo or four days. Ha was carefully watch ed by his wife nnd one or two ladles from the neighborhood. One afternoon tho at tending physician said ho could not llvo through tho day, and the sorrowing wife, with a view to having everything in readi ness for tho end, hold .1 consultation with her friends ns to tho arrangements for the funeral. The conversation was held nt the bedside of the dying man, and In a short time all tho details were arranged except the names of those who should be asked to be pall bearers. Three or four youug gentle men had been selected, when tho wife said, In the sobbing tone suitable to the occasion. "How would Mr. So-and-so do?" "Oh, he would do nicely," echoed tho chorus of friends, "he's .such a nice young man." Thcro was a sudden .movement under tho coverings" of the bed, and tho dying hus band slowly raised himself on one elbow, rubbed his eyes, and said in a weak voice, "No, ho won't do. I ain't going to have that fellow for one of my pall bearers." The ladles were astonished at this revival of the sick man, but the wife laid him back gently on the pillows, nnd said soothingly : "Nev er mind,, dear : don't worry. Thisisa mat ter that need uot trouble you, It is a sad duty which wo will have to perform after you are gone." "No, it isn't," said tho hus band crossly. ''That lellow isn't going to be one of my pall bearers. I don't like I1I111 and I never did, and if you are going to have him, I'll get well, see if I don't." Again he fell back in tho bed and became uncouscious, but in a few hours there came a change for the better. To day he walks the streets as hale and hearty as any mau, THE FARM JOYS. A boy who has now been working two full weeks on a farm rises to say that some remarks we made in our last paper concern ing the probable content of the farmer boy read well but he has not had them substan tiated by experience. He does not deny that there is beauty in the breakr of dawn but he argues that holding a plow through a stouy corn field interferes with the view, especially when there is an old mau a, the fence who bawls out, "Thero now! you've broke another stalk." The dew that bathes the feet may be pure, but pursuing a pair of horses in a stubblefiehl, before breakfast, is neither a good place or time to enjoy it. There is a smell in clover but when you are Almnt Funeral Sermons. Tho notion of tho Ministers' Association of Utica, N. Y., in resolving that its members (.hall prcacli 110 more pennons nt funerals, but that such sermons will subsequently bo de livered in church if desired by tho Iriends of tho deceased, is naturally attracting much at tcution and causing no littlo comment. Tho press havo taken up the subject and nro dis cussing it from various standpoints. Jit would seem that this question is of sufficient impor tance to call fur action by tlio duly constitu ted ecclesiastical bodies of tho sovcrsl large denominations of tho country, if it bo deem' cd proper to revolutionize prevailing customs, l'roliably nino of every ten intelligent men nnd women have their "opinion" of the average Ameral sermon, and almost ovcry oue who has over given any thought at all to tho subject lias again and again asked himself tlio question "What good is attained by theso sermons over tho dead V Whatever tho preacher may have to say of tho departed can bo of no possible interest or benefit (savo in exceptional cases) to any 0110 but the im mediate relatives and friends of tho dead, aud in nino hundred and ninetynino cases in every thousaud, theso friends and relatives already know a great deal moro of tho vir. tues and vices, of tho good or tho bad quali ties of character, that mark the career of the dead one. Besides, funeral sermons are not supposed to givo a thoughtful and impartial biographical sketch of tho deceased. The ca ses where this could be done without giving unpardonable ofTenso to tho friends aro so raro that they may scarcely bo said to exist. But, somo will argue, that tho minister may bo ablo to say something that will cheer and comfort the sorrowing. Very true, but could ho not do that moro effectively nnd with much moro propriety at the homo of tho bereaved ? Tho averago funeral sermon is very frequently made the subject of severe but just criticism. Too frequently tho min ister indulges in high-sounding phrases of a life which tho community know to have been covered all over with tho meanest and lowest vices thot deprave humanity. Wo firmly be lieve that if there were a means of ascertain ing tho views of the clergy ot tho various de nominations on this subject, nine-tenths of them would declar.e against the continuation of the practice of preaching jermons at fu ncrats. No right minded person would, we think,objcct to proper religious services when tho dead aro consigned to their last resting place, but such services should not embrace (except in rare cases) long disertations on the life and character of tho departed, Thoso present to hear such sermons usually know a great deal moro on thoso points than hi: found it. A man was denouncing newspaper ad vertising to a crowd of listeners. 'Last week,' said he, 'I had an umbiella stolon from tho vestibule of the church, It was a gift ; and, valuing It very highly, I spent double Its worth In advertising, but havo not recovered It.' 'How did you word your advertisement ?' asked a merchant. 'Here It Is,' said the man, producing a slip cut from a newspaper. The merchant took It and read ; 'Lost In tho vestibule of the church, last Sab bath evening, a black silk umbrella. The gentleman who took It will be handsomely rewarded by leaving It at No, San I-er-nando Street. 'Now,' said tho merchant, 'I am a liberal advertiser, aud havo always found It paid me well. A great deal depends upon the manner In which an advertisement Is put. Let us try for your umbrella again, nnd if you do not acknowledge then that advertis ing pays, I will purchase you a new one.' The merchant then took a slip of paper from his pocket, and wrote ! 'If the man who was seen to take an umbrella from the veslibulo of the church last Sabbath evening does not wish to get into trouble, and have a stain cast upon the Christian character which ho values so highly, he will return It to No. San Fernando Street. He is well known.' This duly appeared in the paper, and on tho following morning the man was aston ished when he opened tho front door of his residence. On the porch lay at least a doz en umbrellas of all shades and sizes thathad been thrown in from the sidewalk, while the front yard was literally paved with umbrel las. Many of them had notes attached to them, saying that they bad been taken by mistake, and begging the loser to keep the little affair quiet. SIIAM'F.11 THAN A LAWYER.

One day tho Colonel or dered out a fatigue party to clean out tho spring, a beautiful fountain bubbling up at the foot of the ridge. Shortly after tho Ser geant reported to headquarters that tho luon were all drunk. Says tho Colonel: "You should not havo let the men drink whiskey I did not," replied tho Sergeant, "they rank nothing but water from tho spring. The Sergeant and men were ordered into the guard house and a new detail ordered and a Lieutenant placed iu command, with orders to not let the men have access to any spirits, Not long after, tho Lieutenaut reported tho men all drunk. Iho men wero ordered to the guard house and the Liuutenaut under arrest. Another party was ordered out, ot which Colonel Gates took tho command. Ho took a beat on a stump so that he could over look the wholo ground, determined thero should bo no getting drunk this time. But behold I in n short tiruo his men wero all drunk. Ho was certain they had drank nothiug but water, which thfcy frequently did, getting down on their knees and drinking from tho branch just below the spring. Tho Colonel was at his wits' end. Tlio men wero ordered to tho guard houfc, and ho repaired to his teut to think. After weighing the matter pro and coh ho had to givo it up, aud repairing to tho guard-house, ho told tho men if they would show him how it was dono ho would relea.-o them, othcrwiso ho would punish them severely. To this they agreed, and took him to tho spring : just below tho spring in tho branch they unearthed a fivo gallon jug partly filled with whiskey, tho mouth of which was stopped with a cork, in which was inserted a quill that reached to tho bottom. When buried in tho sand tho upper eud ef tho quill was just abovo tho surface of tho uter, aud when they wanted note and comment on any deviation from the truth. In our judgment the Ministers' Association of Utica have inaugurated a wise and needed reform, and it is to be hoped that it will not long bo confined to that association. It is worthy, at least, of serious discussion by Con ferences, Presbyteries, Synods and other ec clesiastical bodies of tho various religions de nominations. Pottvillc Chronicle. The explorations of Major Serpa Pinto in Central Africa have added soma valuable points to our previous knowledge of that country. He says : All the great rivers of South Africa have their sources In an immense'.rich plain, 1,700 metres above tho level ol the sea, 12 south latitude. The way in which rivers take their riso and are formed in Africa is curious, In the beginning a slight humidity is ob servable, resembling the trickling of a small fountain ; but by degrees the current swells, and suddenly, without having received any visible atlluents, becomes an enormous river on which one may sail nt will. At its source tho Cuando is n tiny rill, which I saw How- ing between my feet. A little lower down I descended it iu a canoe, accompanied by my two little blacks here. The river is quite navigable till it enters the Zambesi, where Livingstone called it the Chobe Some of his important discoveries were due to a negro map, which showed that the most southern source of the Lualaba lies between those of tho Liambai or Zambesi and Luengue, and in 12 latitude, like those of other rivers of Africa. The Luengue, or Cainque, which (lows on that side to the Zambesi, not having a single cataract, is perfectly navigable, and may become the best channel for penetrating to the centre of Africa. This is the river which Livingstone called the Carue. Ho further says The river that connects Lake Bangweolo and Moero is not the Lualaba ; the river which joins the two lakes in question is the "Luapula," as the "1'ombeiros" of Silva Porto, who passed there, well knew. Lua laba is the name of the east arm, which ex tends as far as 12 latitude, and where I discovered it by map of the Bihean. The Lualaba must, therefore, be regarded as the source of the Congo, and not the Chambese, which prolongs Lake Bangweolo to the west. One of his assertions is slightly Mun chauseuish, to say the least. He declares that a great white people exists in south Af rica.
