She is bright and ambitious; she looks out at the workers in the world and thinks that if she was among them she would make a great success, and that reward of fame—money—would come to her in plenty. Mow I do not want to say one word to discourage the oiye who thinks she is doing right in walking in this path. ■It is a hard one to travel, and for tho traveler thore isnot thb gen­ tle protection, the kindly consideration which is her lot at home. But, ought you to go? May not the iifework for you be in tho home? May not tho reward bf industry bo a sense of duty done, and tho love of thoso around you? We are all too prone to* accept these rewards as commonplace, and only what should come to us, whoroas they are, my. dear girls, the brightest jowols that sbino in tho crown of woman. Look at home. On the work that is waiting for you there. Do not under­ estimate its value. Whatever it is, do it with a willing heart and a quick hand. Think it your pleasure to do it welL Make it your delight to be so suc­ cessful that the home people will praise you. And if sometimes you give a thought to thebig gay world, where each la for herself and only God for all, be ashamed of the sigh that you give, re­ membering that you are working where God thinks it heat for yon to do so; and that you only merit displeasure when you icorn your work, or do It as do these who think eye-service of value. Don’t, don’ t, dear girl, rush away from your home. *Think it all ont first and see where mother seeds you.

UNHAPPY_MARRIAGE8, tehy esaslbla <Hrls aboute Met Marry Men -Addleted tonrlsk . To the specialist who makes a study 9t inebriety, nothing oan be more un­ pleasant than to advise in relation to marriage with these drink victims, i Very often the advice of tho physician ’ Is final, both parties agreeing to abide by his decision, and in most casos both parties blame him, either openly or in secret, aqd suppose a different result would,have followed from, different ad* vice. Two parents of much wealth and good position, in sooiety consulted me ' as to the marriage of an only son to an only daughter. The son being a gonteel, Iperiodical drinker the parents of the daughter hesitated. A family physi­ cian urged the marriage as a means of saving tho young man. Both parties appealed to me, and my decision was adverse. The young lady married a poor clergyman, and was early loft a widow in feeble health. The young man drank -to groat excess and died by his own hands. Both parents are firm in the conviotlon that my counsel was inerror. • Appeals are constantly.coming to me from ladies who are engaged to drink­ ing men; from mothers and fathers of auoh daughters, asking advice, giving histories of talented, brilliant Ine­ briates, who have every qualification to make a home, except this tendency fo use spirits to excess. Mot unfrequent- ly clergymen and physicians urge such marriages, and my -opinions ore con­ demned as unreasonable, but most un-, fortunately for the parties, the result of the1 experiment is a sad confirmation of what shouldhave been realized at first I do not hesitate to advisemost emphat­ ically against all marriages with ine­ briates, or even moderate, or occasional excessive users of spirits. The reasons for this position may bo grouped as fol­ lows; L A moderate and an occasional ex­ cessive user of spirits is like a person who has a hacking oough and occasion­ al night sweats, or a slight hemorrhage. He may recover and never have' con­ sumption, yet there oan be no doubt that he has a strong tendency, and Is threatened with consumption. There Is every reason to believe that some time in the future he will die of this disease. In the same why the moderate user of spirits may never be any worse, but there is a strong tendency, and strongor probability that in certain con­ ditions and surroundings (that can not be foreseen), he will become an inebri­ ate. All experience proves that the persons who use spirits in so-calledmod­ eration, and do not become Inebriates, are so from accidental circumstances and conditions, beyond any will power to shepo or determine. The reason 1 b beyond their control or knowledge, and they are the few exceptions that only prove the rule. All sueh cases have the early symptoms of a grave and fatal disoase, and no human forcsigb can do* termino what tho future will be. It is certain that no marriage association, no aontimentof love or duty, can be de­ pended upon as a remedy. 9. Persons who have been or aro per­ iodical drinkers, and who promise to re­ form orBtopdrinking at marriage. Such persons aro always defective, especially in the higher brain centers. The high­ est faculties of the brain, conscientious­ ness, sense of duty, and right and wrong; and moral obligations, aredulled ul& more or less palsied. Alcohol of aH other drugs, attacks the highest and last formed powers of the brain, break­ ing down and dissolving from the very pinnacle of life- This failure of the higher brain powers is apparent when the man is under the influence of spir­ its, but 1* covered up when sober, and conoealed, hut exists just the same. The brute, when drunk, may seem like an angel when sober, yet the brute qualities are all there, and may coma out any time from tho application of the proper foroes. The angel nature is only the shadow of what he could or should be, and every drink excess de­ velops the brute and destroys the angeL The man who has been intoxicated has more or less permanently injured the best powers of his brain, nnd his future is unknown to himself, and can not he determined by others. To marry such a msq, and expect him to he cured by this means, is as irrational as to hope that a broken bone or diseased lung can be healed by this method. Confirmed inebriates have married, and oontlnued temperate after, but there are no rea­ son* for supposing that marriage was the cans* or means of determining who, and what conditions of life would end in this way. While the Inebriate may never drink from the time of marriage, he will always be a weak, broken-down man. His brain and nervous system can never act along healthy ranges of life. & There is no fast more certain than that the weakness and disease of tho parents will go down to the next gen­ eration, The sin of bringing into the world diseased nnddefective children is almost unpardonable, and the sin of marrying an inebriate and having de­ scendants tainted, and switched off on tho side trnok of rain .and dissolution, is literally a crime tbqt camnever be at- toned for. My advice is always, never marry ah inebriate or moderate drinker of spirit*. If the Man 1* anxious to show his strength, let him remain six or night ysats temperate before he is encouraged te enter npon tech a state. I* t himprove with all rensonahls csr- teiitffthatlM is teetered and trill net again teier trees driafc esoeea Attest* ettellent Temperate* n tm t e , trite; frags and Merits ler tee teasing et a better, purer ago, celebrated with great joy the marriage of his daughter to a periodical inebriate whose history and heredity showed that the race he aprang frooS was nearly extinot The maustiU drinks, and three little children hate come into-tho world to swell the ranks of defect* and incapable*, to add to the sorrow the grandfather te earnestly prays to have diminished. Tne regulation of marriage between inebriates and Insane is of far more practical-value to tho world than all the legislation on divorces. If Temperance people would exercise common sense here, many a dark fireside would be prevented and many a tide' of misery would be chocked. The noblo army of women that endure the tortures of mar­ tyrdom in their vain efforts to help the inebriate, would be halted, and the “golden age” appear nearer to us, as the march bf humanity goes on higher. —-T.

I do not think there is a woman in the land whose cheek would not flush with anger and indignation if you should even hint to her that she was deliber­ ately laying a ground-work of habit which would end in ranking a-drunkard of her boy. She would vehemently de­ ny the fact, and gather her darlings to her bosom, with a shudder at the bare possibility of their meeting such a fate, Every mother knows,"from the ser­ mons "and books and, essays upon the subject that have fiooided the land, but more still from her own Instincts and heart-beats, that no one in all the world has such an influence an she bos over the future ,men and women—now the little confiding ohildren bn her breast} I wonder if she thinks of the still stronger power she holds for weal or woe over herjunborn babe.. I wonder if she goes back further still, even ere she marries' the man who is to be the father of her children, considers well what sort of a bias As will give their natures, and what kind of example he will set before them; whether he Is of strong appetites, and weak in self-gov­ ernment or not; whether they can live in such harmony that their children will be always carried on the strength of lore and wisdom through all the temptations of youth, feeling that home is both harbor and anchor during every storm, Does she roalize that the food she prepares to eat—if rich, heavi­ ly spiced and salted:—gives them an appetite for stimulating things; that the domestic wines,: which -she manu­ factures as innocently as she dooa her jellies and cakes, give her children their first taste for something stronger than waterto drink. - Does she over think that the ale and portor which her physician advises her to use freely while nursing her chil­ dren are nursed into their stomachs, carried into their blood and brains, and thus—the last thing she Would dream of— their tosto is forming for them, and the natural instinotivo dislike of a child xor liquor taken away? Doos she know that tho bourbon and brandy, a few spoonfuls a day for strength and mediolne boforo the birth of tho child, all through the early inti­ macy of child and mother, has its Influ­ ence and effect, until, when tho temp­ tation comos for him to drink for pleasuro of it, her warning: VMy child, do not touch the cup,” loses its force; for against it rise his strong appetites, andthe remembrance that he bod seen her take of the same? There Is one thing 1 think mqthort should teach their children from the first dawning of evil in their nature, and that is self-control. I have heard a young man fuli of goodnessand talent say: “ I have a liking for the taste of liquor, and when I see It I have not the power to refuse the temptation.” Is it all his own fault? Can We raise our ohildren weakly, and then conscien­ tiously tell them to be strong? Teach them to govern their little passions and tempers and appetites, and thsy will be strong enough tor great ones by and by. If every mother *would he convinced of the importance of all these seeming­ ly little matters, and faithfully abide by her convictions of right and wrong in regard to them, would not the com­ ing goneration see much fewer weak men struggling hopelessly againsttheir appetites and sinking Into drunkard’s graves?—Temperance Causa.
