A TEMPERANCE BKttMON.
It was a Washington dispatch, nn
it told very briefly now Christmas was
observed at the National Capital. , A
mere passing note; statement of a
simple fact ; hardly worth more than
a flying mention. It only said : "The
police report the arrest of an unusual
ly large number of intoxicated persons
mostly young men." That was all A
larger number of men than usual de
liberately extinguished their sense of
responsibility to society and to them
selves, and having so dethroned their
reason, went reeling through the
streets, in Vr'uich condition they were
arrested by the police, and safely held
until kind JNature bad restored tne
faculties they had thrown away, and
they had ceased to bo dangerous to
society or themselves. And they were
"mostly young men. JNot much oi
..... .
an item that To a great many read
ers who skimmed over it, it suggested
nothing. It had no special significance
to them. There was nothing in it
touching the financial question : no
intimation of the policy of the Admin
istration toward Louisiana ; nothing
to throw any light upon the Pacific
Mail buiiiuess : nothing but a bald
statement of a quite unimportant fact,
to wit, that a great raauy paople 'were
intoxicated, and that most of them
were younir men. Perhaps some old
fellow who knew Washington smiled a
grim, hard smile and said, "The boys
must have been having a good time
Christmas." And perhaps some other
sedate person who was never young,
or, if he was, it was so long ago be
has forgotten it, read the two or three
lines and said it was ."outrageous" for
young men to act so. But the mass
of manhood slipped by it, as they but
ton up their coats and hasten on when
they meet in tne street any one who
staggers. .. J ..,.. Ji
Not everybody umugn, . In a. great
many homes and-to a great many
hearts it meant a great leal more than
the classification of a holiday's police
report. It came to them like news of
shipwreck to one with friends at sea.
There was a reading between the Hues
that made fathers anxious aud mothers
distressed. "Mostly young meat'
And here was the buy just ripening in
to manhood upon whom bis parents
looked with pride, and lor whose lu
ture they were so deeply ' anxious
could the father help the involuntary
renchiug out to catch him lroro lulling,
as he read in these three words the sto
ry of so many young men down and
disgraced r Could the mother fail to
reflect that her boy was very much
liko other boys, and that other boys
the young men in the Washington
station-house had mothers, perhaps
just as tenderly solicitous fur tbei
sons welfare as she for hers 7 "Most
ly young men!" Ah, how many
mother, when she read it, clasped
closer to her bosom the curly bead
and dimpled checks of her own dar
ling, as if she would keep him back
from manhood and from all the storm
and stress which carry down so many.
And then the mothers, a hose darlings
with their curls and dimples, and all
the sweet and winning ways of child
hood, have moved on out of the radi
ance of the morning into the heat and
dust of the noontide, whose boys look
level now into mother's and perhaps
iuto some one's not a mother s how
these sweet, thoughtful women must
have shuddered at the bare dreadful
possibility that some time their boys
might go reeling to the station-house.
"Mostly young men 1" It is a sug
gestive, a paiufully suggestive state
ment. It's the coming of a new crop,
and a crop of reckless, dissolute men.
Youug men to-day; and perhaps with
enough of conscience left to suUer re
merse, enough of self-respect to suffer
shame, but every day growing harder
as habit grows and the senses deaden.
There's no ueed to write a homily on
temperance, or preach a sermon. The
homily writes itself, and the sermon
preaches itself. There's no such sick
euing sight iu all the world as the
drunken young man or boy; nothing
so painful to the sensibilities of man
or woman; nothing that seems so
harsh, and unnatural, aud shocking.
It is such deliberate flying in the face
of Nature and flinging away the best
gift of God. But the procession moves
along. - Thins out rapidly to be sure
toward the end, but the young men
keep stepping in and the ranks are
always full. It is the. thing that fa
thers dread for their sons and mothers
pray God theirboys may be delivered
from, but it goes right ou, and the re
cruits are "tnout'y young men." The
State cannot stop it, quackery caunot
cure it. Cheerful homes might save
man and in Washington good exam
ples in high stations might keep many
more from fulling. How would it do
to try it T N. J". Trilune.
"The honey-moon is well enough,"
said a prudent belle, "but what I want
to see beyond that is the promise of a
fine liarvcst-iuoou."

Democratic organ of the north west.
we are glad to notice, is not in accord
with many of its brethren.. It talks
dispassionately and honestly about
Southern questions, which are of vital
importance to the country, lhe arti
cle will do very well for Republican
columns, and we insert it as follows:
A disposition is manifested in cer
tain quarters to hold the administra
tion, or Congress, or the party ic pow
er, responsible for things that occur or
exist quite Independently of parties,
congresses and presidents. Foe in
stance, if a gang -.of desperadoes in
Louisiana, Mississippi or Tennessee,
arm themselves with rifles,' shot guns
and pistols, and go gunning for ne
groes, these biased partisan critics in
stantly charge all the blame upon the
icked "radicals ' who enfranchised
the "nigger," and the detestable car
pet bagger who induces the negro to
vote for him. If chivalrio Southern
ers organize armies, drill in secret,
provide themselves with all the engines
of war, and when all is ready, deliver
battle and forcd county, municipal
ami State officers to abdicate, and the
President in response to a requisition
duly made, sends troops to disperse
the insurgents, these irrational critics
hasten to denounce the President us a
despot, and the troops as a blood-thirsty
gang, delighting'in nothing so much
as "intimidating" Southern white men.
Of course these white men are in ' no
wise responsible for their acts, and
would not be if they were to massa
cre every aegro, aud every white mau
who declines to vote the White League
ticket 1 They are long suffering inno
cents, driven to desperation by a series
of intolerable wrongs, entitled to th
sympathy of everybody who doesn't
happen to be exactly ot the southern
persuasion.
Now unquestionably there are some
very rascally carpet baggers in the
south. Unqestionably the fruits of
uu limited Clirrage are not altogether
sweet. But everybody who knows any
thing about the southern character
and everybody ought to know some
thing about it by this time kuows
that the blame does not attach to the
negro, the carpet bagger, the Republi
can party, and the f resident, more
than to those worthies who fought for
four years, with a courage begotten of
gunpowder and whisky, to establish a
slave empire on this continent. The
gentlemen who, before the war, had a
summary way of disposing of northern
men who went among them and were
suspected of differing from them in
political sentiment, were not trans
formed into lambs by the emancipa
tion and enfranchisement of the negro.
lbey are substantially the same as
they were a dozen years ago and mure,
which is equivalent to saying that they
have yet to learn the meaning of free
dom, and justice, and tolerance.
SANTA CLAl'S. .
Peter Lamb of our villsge is not
going to have Santa CI a us for his chil
dren next Christmas. Last Chi 1st mas
he undertook to represent the charac
ter himself, and after dressing himself
in a fur nap and a buffalo robe, aud
loading himself with toys he went up
to the roof of the bouse and climbed
into the chimney, to which he had
fixed a rope which hund down the flue.
By some means be managed to get in
to the wrong flue, and iustead of com
ing down into the room where his wife
and children were waiuting for bitn,
be tumbled clear to the kitchen apd
rolled out on the floor with a yell.
The hired girl was sittiug there com
muning with her lover a red-haired
man named McGinnis. When Mr.
Lamb arrived she screamed and faint
ed, but Mr- McGinnis was not at all
scared ; aud as he supposed that the
intruder was. a burglar, be attacked
Mr. Lamb with the poker, emptied
the coal scuttle on him, kicked him
through the dooi and then handed
him over to a passing policeman, who
took him to the station, where he
would have been locked up all night
if the magistrate hadn't recognized
him. When he got home his wife and
children were sure ha had been suffo
cated in the flue, and Mrs. Lamb was
in awful distress because she didn't
know whether she ought to have the
side of the house taken out that night,
o; to go out to hunt up a mourning
bonnet to wear to church next day.
The energetic McGinnis had gone
home to gladden his family with Mr.
Lamb's bundle of toys, aud the ser
vant girl had given notice that she
would leave at day-light. Ho Mr.
Lamb has told his little cues that the
factitiou about Santa Claus is a wicked
and degrading superstition, and he is
going to hang their presents on a tree,.

HOI.P, BY THUNDER."
One night, recently, a Whitehall
gentleman was ou the Troy train re
turning home. At Saratoga a gentle
man from' Rutland took a seat behind
the Whitehaller. In a fow minutes a
conversation was opened between the
two. Ascertaining that our friend
was from Whitehall, the Rutland gen
tleman asked him if be knew Wilkins,
the editor of the Times. '
"Know him! I ought to know him,
for he ! very intimate with my wife.
"Yon don't yt" replied the Rut
land man to astonishment. . '
- "Yes sir. I don't want it repealed,
but I have indisputable evidence 'that
he has been on terms ot the closest in
timacv with her."
"But, my friend, you don't live wivb
the woman.
"Yes, sir; strange as it i may seem,
I do. O sir, you little know what a
man will put up witliafrora the woman
he loves. This intimacy has been car
ried on for years right under my very
pose, aud yet by the love-1 bear the
woman I have never yet broken with
mv wife." . - '
But you cannot tio'tibly put up
with such conduct on the part t your
wife? If she is intimate with Wilkins,
I should thiuk you would - brand the
villain -before the world. 1 would not
submit. No sir! I would not, never I"
The Rutland man had worked him
self up to a pitch of excitement, when
the tram stopped at Whitehall.
"Good night, sir!" said the White
hall gentleman. "I hope we will meet
again. I thank you lor the interest
you have taken in toy atlairs ;" and
the two gentlemen shook hands and
parted.
Just then the conductor entered the
car, and the Rutland man stepped up
and asked him who the gentleman was
he was just conversing with.
' "That man," said Conductor IIol
comb: "don't you know him? That is
wiJijoa, editor of the Whitehall
l imcs. ,
"Sold, by thunder 1" said the Rut
land man, putting his bngers in hi
pocket and taking out something
"Mr. Conductor, will you please giv
him this card and accompanying (5
and tell him to send me his paper,
long as tlio money lasts?" . .
-BROKEN PROMISE.
Reader, never break your promises
And to this end, never make a prom
ise that you are not sure you can fill
fill. You may thiuk it a trifling mat
ter to make an appointment -with
frieud or agree to do a certain thing
and then lull to "come to tune; bu
it is agnu redly not a small affair.
you get in the habit of neglecting to
make good your promises, how long,
do you think, will your friends aud ao
quaintances retain confidence in you
The nearest and dearest of them will
in time learn to doubt you, and wi
put but little faith in your words. An
there is a way of half meeting one
obligations, which might be called
"bending" a promise, which is also
very bad practice, and should be care
fully avoided,
for instance, you atrree to meet
person at a certain time; but, instead
of being punctual, you put in an ap
pearance several minutes, perhaps au
hour, after time; or you' promise to
do something for a friend, and only
partially perform the duty. You may
not exactly have broken your promise,
but you have certainly bent it, which
is almost, if uot quite as bad. Keep
your promises to the letter ; be prompt
and exact, and ft will save fu .'much
trouble aud care through lite, and win
for you the respect and trust of your
friends.
That is a very poor handle that
throws off the. hammer every time you
use it. It is so with' the so-called
"helps" to memory which leave only
themselves in mind when you want to
think of something else.
