TEMPERANCE. DRUNKENNESS MADE A CRIME. Baxony bos made drunkenness a crime. (This has been dono on tbo advice of tho best physicians in the land, who scout tho idea of 'dipsomania, and declare that men get druak, vot because thoy are crazy, but because they are vicious, and should be restrained. There is a good deal to be said in support of this position. Inebriate asylums are all right foe come purposes, but for certain other pur poses the whipping-post would bo a valuable adjunct. WHAT DRINK DOES. The attention of Agent Sweeny, of thi Anti-Cruelty Bocioty of Pittsburg, woi called one morning recently to a sad and dis tressing case of poverty, cruelty and neglect A little tumbledown uouso located on Jones avenue was occupied by two fumilies and a boardar. Of those there were a man and his wifo and two little children, both girls, aged respectively four and six years. Tu< other3 were a widow, her son and anothet man. Tho officers suy that when they en tered the building such a sight of misery they never witnessed. Tho Intnrior wa! literally reeking with vermin and filth, while tho stench was such that tho officers were sickened. Tiie neighbors stnto t.iat the oc cupants spend thfir wholu time in drinking, neglecting, abusing and starving tho little children, who were compelled daily to go out barefooted, bare-headed, in an almost rn- tirely nudo condition, lo beg for sufficient food to keep body mid soul together When the mother and her babes were brought to the station house sho was, with the excep tion of an old and filthy calico wrapper, en tirely devoid of clothing, the children were even in a much sadder plight, the youngest, especiallv, being in a sorely afflicted con dition. It s little back was ouo mass of sores and scabs, while from sheer neglect and itarvation its little body had dwindled down to that of a living skeleton. The j-ounger thild is in such n condition that it cannot possible live. What a horrihlo state of affairs' And itill it is an everyday occurrence in our iarae cities. RELIGIOUS READING. HOLD MY HAND.

THE RESURRECTION LIFE. It is a mightv theme—tbo central truth ol the world's history, the foundation of our faith, the crown of our religion. If Christ bo not risen our faith is vain; we are yet in our sins. But thero is no room for doubt on this momentous question, because the testimony of history to the physical fact that Christ did rise from tho dead is overwhelming and incontrovertible. He who will receive it can, however, have more satisfactory cvulenco than any that could be given hi m by others to the truth and power of Christ's resurrection. For ho may have the witness of the Spirit of God, bearing witness with his Spirit, not only that Christ is risen, bu t that ho himself also is risen with Christ—dead unto sin, allvo unto God—crucllied with Christ in tho flesh, but living with Christ in the Spirit. Mary looked Into the empty tomb to find her Lord; and He was standing beside her grieving over her unbelief. How many of us have not got an y farther advanced in\ our spiritual life than Mary was on that resur rection morning! She believed in Jesus; sho loved Him—but she thought He was dead and gone. She could not realize that Ho was alive and waiting near her to speak words of cheer to her discouraged heart. IVc, too, .stand over the tomb of Jesus and bless God for His atoning sacrifice on tho cross. 'Well may we do so, but let us never forget that it was when ho ascended up on high that \He led captivity c* ptivc and gave gifts unto men \ Christ in His humiliation passed through infinite sorrow for us and paid the penalty of our sin, but it was His cxnltutlon which gave Him power to make His own sacrifice effective by the bestow- ment of the Holy Spirit. \If I go not away,\ He had said, \the Comforter will not Dome unto you. but if I depart I will send Him unto you.\ Truly, then, might He soy, \I t is expedient for you that I go away,\ although that utterance must have been incomprehensible to Ills norrow- stricken disciples at the time, and sounds .'grange even in o ir cars. Indeed, if He had not said it Himself it would seem iiko blas phemy. If Christ should come today—tomorrow- how gladly would we forsake every worldly pursuit and run to Him Wc think so, nt least. But suppose He shoiiid come again in the guise of a poor peasant and lead us to ward the mockingand the scourging and tho Drucilixion, would wc really be glad to go? Would wc not, like l'eter, iirst lag behind— following afar off—and then deny Hint alto gether? Christ Is not coming again in poverty and suffering in His own person, but he Is iiere in the persons of his poor brethren and sis- '.ers of whom lie has said, \Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of tlie-e, ve have done it unto Me.\ Ann we hnvc .he opportunity every day of visiting Him, md nursing Him ami feeding Illm, and •lotliing Him. and cheering Him Nor Is it i mere figure of speech to say that Christ is linong us, waiting to receive the kindly offices which He calls upon us to perform\ \or in some mysterious way which is beyond ;he comprehension of our finite inlnds ciirist s personally present by the power of His Spirit in the hearts of those who love Him md He docs personally receive the service •eudered to Him in the person of one of His ilscipies, it does give Huu personal plcas- ire. And he, too, who renders su h service, or n any way gives proof of love to Christ—ue ilso Is a living temple of the Holy Ghost; ho ilso is not only a representative of Christ, >ut is himself a living embodiment of Christ lo the extent to which lie has yielded his null to the guidance and control of the Htyy Spirit. Yes, Christ is risen, and the regenerated Ives of thousands of believers, scattered all jver the world, testify to the power of His •esurrection life. Alas, how many there are who believe in the death of Christ, but have lot yet felt the power of the life of Christ mergizing their mortal bodies and vivifying ihcir spiritual natures' Q&E-TMBRD COFFEE SAVED BY USING f9{ Makes GOOD Coffee QUICK.
