XKLIS KdMAN PUNCH.
BY EMMA (lAItlUSOX JONES.
'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

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

(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.

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

in exceptional cases) to any 0110 but the im

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.

OETTINO DltUNK ON PUHE WATEK,
Iu tho summer of 1S3S tho Third United
States Artillery, commanded by Colonel
Gates, was encamped at the foot of tho Mis
sionary Ridge, engaged in tho removal of the
Cherokee Indians. 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

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.
