TEMPERANCE. \This Is tho book and mirror of tho natural man. Tho thread of tho book Is tho expres sion, 'Under tho sun.' which is found in It <more than twenty-five times.

Tho town's Ufo was to bo taken up again whero it had been left ofT, and tho people had turnod faco expectantly to the future, says a correspond ent of tho Commercial Gazette. Quick to seo that tho growth of the collego meant business opportunity to tho town, nt this very time a man established a saloon in tho place. Tho news spread through tho village, \n grog-shop has been opened.\ You may imagine the sensation that It stirrod— a grog-shop in Jlooro 's Hill—and the worthy old president of the collego in his cntaloguo referring to tho community as a moral one, where \such a thing as a saloon would not ho tolerated for nn instant.\ The problems ot the dark days of tho war, tho struggles with poverty at the hearthside, equalled only by those other struggles where cannon roared, had sharpened tho wits and quickened tho wills of tho women of Mooro's Hill. I n 'G5 with them to hear was to think, to think was to act and the llrst customer had scarcely entered Moore 's Hill 's new saloon before tho door was darkened by a woman 's figure. She was tho spokesman for her nolghbors— come to buy out the shop, and in her hand she held tho purchase money \but I ain 't hero to sell out. I've got to make a living, and I'm goingto mako it. I'vo got as much right iu Moore's Hill ns you have, and money won't make mo get out.\ Thus spoko the keepor If tho potency of money had failed to oust him, one would ooncludo that the attempt was over, lly no menus' A private meetiug was held, whero was evolved tho most novel method of war- faro over waged by woman against man. Next morning, boforo tho astonished bar keeper could interpose, a lllo of solemn- faced, determined women passed through tho door of the saloon, nnd having arranged themselves deliberately about tho room, drew out their work bags, and adjusted their sewing eaps, A customer now nn then strag gled in at tho ijoor IIo glanced sheepishly along the walls at tho awful sight that stared him in the Dice, fumbled out a few rnruarks nbout the weather, the crops, and darted out into the fresh air. Tho village doctor peered through the door, and lied over the bills so fast that, tradition says, tho boys might have played nine -pin> upon his eont tails. Thus it went —rather, one should say, thus went the customers. x \t noon not a dram of liquor had been sold. Tho women had determined to knit the saloon out of town' Twelvo brought a fresh relay of knitting women, but the saloon keeper, poor man, had no relief force and ho stood at hi- post nil day long unassisted.

Joseph, spurning a tremendous temptation, not because Poti. S har saw blm, but because God saw him: >aniel, facing both a laugh in tho palace and the lions in the royal park; Paul, defvlnp Nero because \the Lord stood with mc and strengthened me,\—these are tbe models for your imitation. Good impulses are abundant andcheap. They will never hold you in a sharp fight uuless you have the staving power which Christ imparts. T o stand\ th« sneers of scoffers, to resist the sudden rush for wealth, to conquer fleshy appetites, to hold an unruly temper under control, to keep base passions subdued, and to direct all your plans and purposes straight toward the highest mark requires n power above your own. Christ's mastery of you will give you self- mastery, yes, and mastery over the power of darkness and of hell Faitli will fire the last shot, and when the battle of life ends, you will stand among the crowued con querors in glory. The foith light is a \good fight,\ because It is for tho best objects, it ensures a clean heart, a pure conscience and God's approval. It Is a good light because God supplies uswith weapons. It is n winning light, because the omnipotent Christ takes you into His owu keeping, and neither * man nor devils can pluck you out of His hand When tbe son of God is conquered you will be con quered and not before. \Faith is a living power from heaven, It grasps the promise God has given; Securely built on Christ alone, Your soul can never be o'erthrowu.'' — [The Fight of Faith.

(ioo p AD\ icr We overheard a conductor on a train the other day, counselling a casual acquaintance, a young girl, after the following fashion, avowing at Hie same time that he was not religious, but only \a sort of a decent rail road man:\ \Never go to n dance—there is always harm it. It has Droved many a time the first step toward ruiu for both men and women Not while I live would I allow a daughter of mine to go. I know too much about the harm there is in it to allow a daugh ter of mine to dance.\ Not long before that we heard a man who for years bad been a consistent ('hristiau but who had been before conversion\ery dissi pated, sav io praycr-mccting. \I wisli I could make others see as plainly as I do the evil oi card playing. I have tested it—it led me down almost to hell. It brought me into bad company, it started me to gunibllng, it threw a strange fascination over vice, it al most ruined my life forever I hate cards now, and I wish I could make others bate them!\ TIIE SUBSTITUTE. A man who was drafted for the army of Napoleou I. , and who furnished a substitute who was slain, was included iu another draft, lie told the oflicer that he was dead. They said ho was crazy. He told tbem to look at the books. They soid, \Here is your name and you furnished a substitute.\ \Yes \ he said, \and the man was killed and yon can't touch me.\ The Emperor held that the man was right. So tbe Great emperor of heaven recognizes,the doctrine of substitution. Christ brings us out from under tho penalty of tho law. The law con demns; he comes not to condemn. Is it uot high madness to go out of this hall re jecting the Savior, who has laid down his life that you and I might be saved?— [Moody. DON'T LOAD TOO HEAVILY. At tho beginning of the war every private started out loaded down with baggage, but along towaid the close, everybody, ofllcers included, was cut down to actual necessities, and a large army could then move with ex pedition in any direction at au hour's notloe. The reason some of us arc so slow in our movements for God Is because we load out- selves down so heavily witb selflsb interests.

Charles Stowe, of Girard,Penn.,nddfl this veracious narrative to the recorded instances of almost human intelligence in animals \I've read a good deal,\ said Mr . Stowe, \about the intelligence of ele phants, bu t there is a circus elephant out ui G CUL-VU, Ohio, that is the smart est au d most mtelligeut elephant on earth. \Once in a while a cyclone sweeps over the Buckeye State and levels buildings to the ground. This ele phant, whose name is Siioozer, knows a- much about meteorological condi tions as the eiitin force of the woather bureau combined. Not long ago, as Snoo/or cn.st his weather eye out of the wiudow, hi saw u cyclone to the south east headed dead on the menagoric building \Slippin g his chain and giasping m ax iu his trunk he went out to the windward of the building and drove a guy stake deep in the ground. Tho cyclone wns then but a mile off nnd was rapidl y uearing the building. Rushing luside, Suoozer unfastened the cage containing the giant python, and seizing the big snake in his trunk trotted outside aud tied hi.s tail to the guy stake. Then rearing himself on his hind legs he fastened the python's head aroun d the center chimney of the building Th e cyclone was now bu t a quarter of a mile away \Dashin g around to tho leeward of the buildin g the intelligent pachyderm braced his pow erful legs in the ground and pu t his head against the side of the buildihg. Th e cyclone was no w but one hundre d yards off. Th e next in- staut it struck the menagerie with terrific force. The superior intelli gence of the elephant was here most evident. I f he had taken a chain and fastened it to the wiudward side of tho building it would havo been snapped like n thread, but the python was olastic an d he stretched just enough to hold the building in place, togother with tho elephnnt's brace on tho other side. Th e force of the cyclono was BO great that it stretched the python ten feet an d shoved Snoozer's legs down into tho hard ground up to his body. \When the cyclone passed over Snoozer trotted around, untied fho python, replaced it m. its cage, pulled up the gu y stake with his trunk, re turned the ax to its place, slipped tlie chain over his forefoot andconteutedly resumed his noon-lay meal of hay.\— New Yor k Advertiser.
