Is the haw turned topsy-turyey ?
Does Wring from street to roof?
Will the racket itni continue,
Spite of all your mild reproof ?
Are you often in aflutter,
Are you sometimes thrilled with joy?
Then I have my gran stispteiens, ' ,
That you have akhomo— ' that Doh
Are the walls and tables hammered ?
Are your nems and ink upset ? '
Have two eyes, so bright and roguish,
Hide you every care forget ?
Have your garden.beds a prowler,
Who delights but to destroy ?
These ate well•known indications
That you have at home—that Boy.
Have you seen him playing circus—
With his head upon the mat.
And his heels in mid-air twinkling—
For his audience, the cat?
Do you ever stop to listen,
When his merry pranks annoy—
Listen to a voice that whisper',
Yon were once just like—that Boy.
Hartz you beard of broken windows,
, And with nobody to blame?
Ha - ve jou seen trbarsered urchin
Quite unconscious of the same ?
Do yon love a teasing mixture
Of perplexity and joy?
You have a dozen daughters,
Bat I know you're got—that Boy.

We, as an American people; are
standing upon the borders of a terri
ble gulf. We are dead - as it`' were in
trespass and sin. We are sitting with
folded arms, and to all appearance
powerless to combat with so mighty
.an enemy as King Alcohol. It is
true his subjects are many and po Pr
erful, and their power is used for The
violitionsof the laws of our country
and in deeds of the most damnable
kind. Recall to your• mind every
person who is in favor of the license
law; have they' not been , traitors to
their country, and are they not now
traitors to the cause of suffering hu
manity. Villain .is stamped 'upon
their hardened conatenance; you can
read it there as you can the pages of
an open bopk. What better evidence
do we want of the character of a man
than the occupation in which he is
engaged. And yet many times we
can reverse it. There are men who
hold prominent positions in the af-
Wit of our nation, but are unworthy
of the honour. They are tainted and
corrupt at heart. Those prominent
ones, as the world styles there, we
would "naturally look t) for an exam
ple of honesty and Christianity, and
temperance, and true nobleness of
heart. Bat alas Iwe shrink back in
astonishment, and ask ourselves the
question :- '' 'What is 'it that places
them in positions they now o copy ?
They. are men who sit at the illiard
tablo mon of •intamp . orato Ilawbite,
who sometimes carry- the bottle of in
toxication in their pocket, and yet
such men are allowed to instruct our
children; such man are allowed to
sit in' judgment, and the criminal
stands before him and receives the
sentence which deptives him of liber
ty, and many times of hie lifer-`I
would ask you, should such men be
alloWed to ,pass sentence upon their
fellow- men. No; he is not fit to sen
tence -hell itself. He is tampering
With that which has destroyed and
is yet destroying thousands of human
beings annually, and his prominence
sinks into the merest insignificance,
as, we view him in. the light of a
drunkard, for there is nothing that
will so degrade, and demoralize, and
brutalize a man, as to indulge in the
demon intemperance. His brain is
deridened, his mind is clouded, and
he is not fit for even the ordinary
duties of life. It is a sad truth that
many persoa gain eminence' and
distinction by their dollars and cents.
The world pays them homage on ac
count of their wealth, while true
worth and nobleness of characterare
passed by unheeded by the world,
because clad in the robes of poverty.
In this great warfare 'that is raging
against King Alcohol, we want'true
men and womea—men who would
sooner sever their' right hand than
be seen in a filthy. bar-room, or in
these dirty, low groggeries with
which our cities, towns and villages
are' cursed.
Towanda, Pa.
Go With me, dear render, in imag

ing ?: is it not horrible? The pale,
and dejected wife, half-clad, and
starving children; is it not enough to
tense the heart to grow faint? Is
there anything that ever produce
such misery but the accursed habit
of intemperance. And this we daily
see in a laid of Christian light and
liberty. pid yon ever, when you put
your name to a paper for some brute
of a rnmselbiri to obtain license—did
you, I say; when you voted against
the local option law, know that you
signed the death warrant of many a
man, woman and child! Ah 1 fickle
man, yon are constantly crying out
against the sins of the world; minis
ters of the Gospel proclaim it from
the pulpit, and yet there are many of
them who voted for license. There
is one who comes under oar observa
tion occasionally, and I always feel
as though be ought to be treated to
a good coat of tar and feathers, for
he is indeed a wolf in sheep's cloth
ing. How dare man, in the presence
of the living God, profess that to
which he is a stranger. The Bible
says "Accursed is he that putteth
the glass to his brother ' s lips. ' Have
you not been instrumental 'in doing
that very thing. Yon have, and God
will repay you in his own good time.
Very many of our lawsere cale t tilated
to make bad men and womea. We
have licensed houses of prostitution;
we have licensed gambling' hells; we
have placei where men are constant.

of men to comply with - yotri Wishes,
'to yield obedience to the will of the
people. Not a bit of it. They are ,'a
°hut of unprincipled -*retches, and
I often look upon them, and wonder
if there is pardon for such is they.
Yet it is so, for we read in Holy.
Writ—" Thoug h your sins be as scar

tion over the flee of this beautiful
earth, for the works of God are in
deed. beautiful. Then what must be
their feelings -when they I view in
contrast the works of their hands!
0, I should think they would get
,down in the very dust, and feel as
though they ought to be clothed in
Sackcloth the remainder 'of their
live's, for the misery they have
brought upon the human hmily.
Will a like-time of prayers aid tears

the law has 'failed to do, we have' .

ing to that Judge who beide our
very breath in His hand, and whose
power we dare not deny.l
Were the people ever 'so agitated
before in the cause of Temperance,
as they are at the present time ZiWo
man has taken a decided stand in
this cause, and has she not a right ?
She has been educated to think she
was merely a necessary evil, to min
ister to the .wants of the would-be
tyrant, man—not daring to', disobey
him. But she has aroused herself,
and is nobly doing her work. Wo
man,_the mother of milliOns, is it not
her duty to aid in this great struggle?
She is the real , sufferer from the
drunkenness of man; her miseries
are.untold. We - will not attempt to
describe them, for no pen can. do
justice to the subject. As you look
upon that son who is soon to leave
home and its Christian influence,
with what anxiety you leok forward
to his future. Yon have !watched
over him with groat care and tender
ness, and you have tried to instil in
to his mind the principles of tempe
rance and a usefuLlife. It; is with
fear and anxiety that yOu look for
wird to the time when he Must take
his-place among men, to battle With
the cares and difficulties of. life, I and
to the dangers he must necessarily
be exposed to. And he; has often to
learn by bitter experience that the
way of the transgressor is bard. Let
the thought of danger nerve you on
to action and to duty. Men and wo
men-of_Temperance 1 there is danger
now—there is danger far off in the
distance. This curse cannot be wip
ed out in a day, a week, or a mouth.
No, it.will take years to accomplish
what we so much desire. There are
men that are now doing -an that is
within their power to have the local
option law repealed. Their tongues
ought to be palsied and their limbs
made useless. May the judgment
of God pursue them, and may ;they
be made to suffer for r this , great
crime. But will the people submit
to such oppression. It is worse - than
the galling chains of slavery. 11 trust
the people will rebel against a thing
so'corrupt, being nothing but crime,
misery and death. Man can sink to
the lowest depths of degradation,
but the lowest he _ever gets is when
he' is trafficking in =wine. He is worse
than the meanest reptile that crawls
upon the face of the earth. But ye
true and honest ones, your labor will
not be in vain. Right must prevail.
Labor with earnestness, and we will
one day see thii dark pall lifted from
American soil, and then we will be
inlreality a free and happy people.

a Russian tale a grandmother
says to her granddaughter, who j is
threatened by a fiend. " 0 dear me,
my - poor, unhappy child !' Go quick,
ly, to the priest, and ask him thittfa
vor--that if you die, soot body shall
not be taken out of the house l
the doorway, but that the grotind
shall be dug , away from the , thresh
old, and that you shall be dragged.
through the opening." h I
This Wit,t3 onginally the 'common
mode of proceeding among the vari
otur nations. They thought a ' spirit
could only return by the, same way
that it went out of the house,and in
order to prevent its return they
took it through an opening ' that
could be afterwards stopped up.
The Tiski of Alaska always carry
their dead out through a hole at the
back of the hut, and then close lup
the hole with the greatest care. The
Hottentots breaks_ opening Sir&
the side of their hut for , the same
purpose, and the Siamese, not con
tent with this, having taken the dead
hody out, hurry at full speedi round
to the other side.of the house.l
Another strange custom in Amiga
iti this : When a person sifferti a very
lingering death, in order to !render
his departure more easy, they let a
black dog by a cord down through
the roof over the dying person's
head. They regard_ a black (log as
an emblem of the human spirit. and
their action is intended to show' the
departing spirit the way.to gd.
In ancient Rome a person Who had
been believed to be dead, could only
be permitted to reenter his honse
through the roof. In Germany the
general belief is that the soul departs
through the window. When; a Per
son dies the.window of the room is
at once thrown open, and sometimes
a cup of water is placed 'on thelsill
for the refreshment of the spirit ns it
enters on its "long journey.
A DASIMIG fellow, who seemed to'
think he 'manifested his superiority
by the disdain he exhibited of any
thing like courtesy to the huMble
classes of society, was driving ; his
gig one rainy day, wheii he came to
toll-bar, and haughtilY asked what
he 'was to pay.
"Ten cents,' if you please," said the
civil gate-keeper.

as unsubstantial as that of the 'hips
to which they have been compared,
and, subjected to the fiery tests of
life and experience, they are almost
as readily destroyed. The 'acquire

of mixing colors, and a few foreign
phrases, are' oftemeat 'the result .of
much misapplied industry. If music,
drawing, and painting were studied
and-cultivated as arts, with the' in.
tent of becoming thoroughly profi
cient in them, that they might stand,
if need be, in good, practical stead,
then the time devoted to them would
not be wasted. Instead of being
mental foible in which to deck their
ill-clothed minds in public, these at
tainments would be of deep and last
ing satisfaction to their possessors,
even though not put to any severer
trial. Few girls care 'enough for'
music and drawing to pursue them
after being freed from - the restraint
of masters, and many would never .
begin such study were it not for the
ambition of parents, guided by a to
ciety that demands all girls to be
molded after one model. This idea
is so obviously impossible as to be,
absurd. Countless good gardeners,,
milliners, dressmakcas, housekeepers,'
have been spoiled in poor piano-!
players, simply because knowledge of
the piano was considered an elegant;
acquisition; while an understanding
of the other things was regarded as'
something that - only necessity should;
require. The , hours of strumming;

- Many a Christian who has stood
his ground boldly against the frowns

passed through deep afflictions in
safety, has been won hy its smiles in
the time of prosperity, and brought
either to deny his Lord or has sunk
into a state of deadness and lukO

Peter, who zealously stood up fOr

denied Him while sitting at ease by

indeed be discouraged, and almost

THEIIPMEE . PEaPLE - OF iiitlOL
unixemairzs rum T f ls 00IISTRI OF
TAICEILTELVF--L pm= Fon oasis-
The Khedive, soya . .Bayard Taylor
in a . fteine letter, spoke of a race
of pigmies rail& had boai discovered
in the rimy hetirt of Central. Africa,
beyond the had of the Nyato,-Ifyams,
and advised :its to look- at two na
tives Of the tribe which had recently
retie* Cairo. On leaving the pal=
ace of Abdeen, therefore - we drove
immediately to the palace of the .
Nile, !near Boulak, where they are
now kept. On..nuilting inquiry the
aoldiers .the inner, court immedi
ately pointed but two small boys
o (apparently), i wearing the fez, and
in jackets and framers of
white wool I should'i have taken
them for children of some Ethiopian
tribe at the first glance, and, was not
satisfied, until after a close inspec
tion, that one of them was a fall
gmwri MAIL ,
The soldiers brought the pigmies
forward for our inspection. They
came; half Willingly, half with an air
of defiance, or of protest egainst the
superior strength which surrounded
them. A tall Dinkefroni thei White
Nile, who actiompanied them, spoke
a little Arabic, and I was thus able
to get a little additional information
throrlgh him. He assured me that
the pigmies were called Naam ; that
their country was a journey of a
year and a-half from Khartoum
(probably the time occupied 'by
trading expedition in going thither
and returning), l and that the place
from which they came had the name
of Takkatikat. The taller of the'two
pigm es , Tubbul by name, was twen
ty ye rs old;' the younger, Herat on
ly ten or twelve.
The little_ fellows looked at me
with bright; questioning, steady eyes
while I examined and measured_
them. Tubbul , was 46 inches in
height, the legs being 22 inches, and
the body with the head 24. Head
and ;arms were quite symmetritial,
but the spine curved in remarkably
from the should e rs to the hip :joint,
throwing out, the abdomen, which
was already much distended, proba
bly from their diet of beans and ba
nanes. Yet' tle head was erect, the
shoulders on the line of gravity, and
there was no stoop in the posture of
the body as ia the South African
bushmen. Ttibbul Measured 26
inches around the breast and 25
around the abdomen; his Lands and
feet !were coarsely formed, but not
large, only the knee joints being dis
proportionatelyi thick and clumsy.
The facial angle was folly np to the
average; thtire WWI' a good develop
ment,of brim, fine intelligent eyes,
and a nose so flattened that in look
ing down the forehead from above,
one saw only the lips projecting be
yond it. The nostrils were astonish
ingly wide , and square. Then com
plexion was, that of a dark mulatto.'
The boy Karel was 48 inches high,
withithe seine 'general proportions.
Both had wooly hair, cut sliort in
front, but covering the crown with a
circular cap of crisp little rolls.
Tribhul's age showed itself, on nearer
ez . tunitiation, in his hands, feet and
joints, as well as his face. He had
no beard, but was evidently of virile
years. I lifted him from the ground,
and should not estimate his weight
at more than sixty-five pounds. The
soldiers related\that neither of the
two had learned - more than a few
words of Arabic, but that they talked
a great deal to each other ,in their
own language. At a recent meeting
of the Egyptian Institute, it was
stated that the language of these pig
mies has no resemblance to that of
any other in Central Africa.,
The country of Naam, or Takkati
kat, or whatever may be its correct
name; is reported to be an equatorial
tableland, covered with low, dense
thickets, in which the pigmies hide.
The Eledive told me that they are
quite war-like, and by no means des
picable foes to their larger , negro
neighbors, since they are active and
diffictilt to find among their native
jungles. Dr: Schweinfurth supposes
them to be the pigmies mentioned by
Herodotus. The Darwinians ! will
hardly find anintermediate race be
tween man and monkey in them.
Their' curial's physical peculiarities,
especially the curvature of the spine,
the wide mouth, with flat but dis
tinctly marked lips and the square
ness and breadth of the nostrils, are
not of a gainer character. In fact,
they look letu3 bite the chimpanzee
than eeverat of the tall and athletic
negro tribe.

Axe DIVOT/OM-It was the cus
tom among the young men at Athens
who iistensil to the teaching of Soc
rates, to bring some gift in gratitude
for his instruction. Gold and silver,
Jewels worthy of the rank and wealth
of the donor, were common gifts.
One morning after the gifts , had
been presented, a youth too poor to
bring an offering cast himself at the
feet of his teacher, while a blush
overspread hiamanly face as be cried:
"0 Socrates, I give myself to thee!"
There was a murmur of applause,
showing that the whole-hearted,
whole-souled gift was appreciated.
Shall we not, in like manner, give
ourselves wholly to Christ? all that
we have and; all that we are, to spend
in his servire—not only the love of
our ,hearts, t bat the labor of our
hands, and all' we poseesa ?
The, apostle Paul says: " And ye
are not your own; for ye are 'bought
with a price; therefore glorify God
in your- body and in your spirits
which are. God" If we have not
thus fully and freely consecrated our
selves, let us follow the example of
the Athenian youth, and casting' Our;
selves at the feet of the Great Teach
er, cry; "Oh, Clnist, I give myself
to Thee.".
