I t .formed into a street with suloons on both sides, allowing20 feet .to each saloon, they would mdke a street 868 miles long. Let ns imagine them brought ..together into such a street, and let'u s suppose th a t the moderate drinkers and their families are marching into it a t the up: per end, and l e t us see what that,street turns out in one year. . , What army is th a t 'whieli' - comes marching down the street, in' solid column, five -hbreaSti elstending 570 miles? I t is the army ofr. 5,000,000 men and women who d a ily 'a n d constantly go to saloons for intoxicating drinks as a beverage. Marching, »0 miles a day,* it will take thepu more, than US day s to go by, ..... - . * • , Now they are gone, and close in. their rear comes another army, marching, five, abreast and 00 m iles in length; .sIn it there are 530.000 confirmed drunkards. They'are meh and women who have lo st1 control of thteir appetites, who arft in the regular hab it of getting drunk and making beasts ©f themselves-, >Mareh-l ing two ab reast.tho army is ICOmttqs in length-' Scan them closely,' T^ere are gray-haired ‘men and fair-haired boys. There are, alas! many wdmen int. that arm y/sunk to deeper depths'^han the men because'of the-greater heTglits from whichthey tell; It,w ilttakte them seven daya-to go by. It is a sad and. sickening sight; but,' do not turn ay^ay yet; fox; here .comes-, another army— 100,OOO. crlminals, j^rom jails and prisons, and penitentiaries, ’they come. At the head o f the army comes a long Tine of persons, whoso hands are besmeared with human blood. Withropes arotind their necks, they are on their way to the gallows. Others are going ,to; prisqin for ,life. Every crime known to onr lawa haabeen com*' mitted by these persons, -while under the influence of dinnk.- But hark! Whence come those yells, andwho are those bound with strong chains, and guarded by strongmen, that go racing by? They are raving mani­ acs, made such by drink. Their eyes are tormented with awful sights, and their ears ring with, awful sounds. Slimy reptiles crawl over their bodies, and fiends from bell torment them be­ fore their time. They are gone nOw, SndWe breathe more freely. But what gloom Is this that pervades the air, and what is that lofag line Of black coming slowly down, the street? I t is the line of funeral processions. One hundred thousand who have died the drhnkaftPe deathuara.being 'carried to their graves* Drunkards donot hava many friends to mourn-their loss, and, we can put thirty of their funeral,pro­ cessions into a mile. We have thus a procession 8,383 miles In length, I t will' take a good share of the year for thein togo by, for funeral processions move slowly. Yes, most of them do; but every now and then an uncofilned corpse, In a roitgh cart, is driven rapid­ ly by, and we hear the brntal driver sing; , ” Quick, rattle his bones, rattle his bones Over the stones; Be isonly a pauper whoni nobody owns,” Look intothe coffin* as they go by, Seethe dead drunkards. Some died of deliriumtremens, and the lines of ter­ ror are plainly marked ou their faces, Borne froze to death by the roadside, too drank to reach their homes. Borne stumbled from the wharf and were drowned/ Borne wandered into the woods and died, and rotted on the face of the earth, Borne blew their own brains out, Borne were fearfully stabbed in drunken brawls* Borneware roasted In burning buildings. Some were crushed to afcafM&MS mas— . under the cars. They died in various ways, but strong drink kilted them all; and on their tomb*tones—if they hare any—may be fitly inscribed: “Ho died a drunkard's death," Close behind this Comes another long line of funeral processions; we know not how many, but they are more numerously attended by mourning friends. They contain the remain* of those who have met death through the csrsleesneas and enmi­ ty of drunken men. Bo— died of broken hearts. Boms Ware foully murdered* Borne ware burnt to death in buildings set oa Are by drunken men. Borne w*ra horribly mangled oft' the railroad, because of drankeu en­ gineer* or flagmen. Borne wens blown uyona eteaMbont, because * drunken captain ran a raee with a rirel boat* But bore comet another army—tbs children—innocent ones, upon whom baa been visited the Iniquities of their father*. How many are there? Two hundred thousand. Marching two abreast, they extend pp the street thirty miles. Each one must bear through life the stigma of being a drunkard’s child, They are reduced to poverty, want, and beggary, They live la ig­ norance and vice. Some of the children are moaning with hunger and some are shivering With the cold, for they have not rags to keep them warm. A large-number of them are idiot*, made so before they were born, by brutal drunken fathers. And worse than all the rest, many of them hafl. inherited a love, for liquor* and are growing up to take the places ■and do the deed* at their fathers. They would fill the ranks of the awful army of drunkards that .moves in unbroken; columns down to death, .. / I t has taken nearly a year for the afreet to empty itself of this year’s work. .And close in the rear come the Vanguard of the next year’s supply. And, if this is what liquor does in onr land in one year what must be its re­ sults in all the world through the long centuries? Thus far we have listened to the story that the figures fell; but they can­ not tell all, They give bply the outline of the1 terrible tragedy that is going on atound us. They cannot tell us, flow <fUany unkind and'cruel words strong drink has' caused otherwise kind and tender-hearted husbands and father* to utter to fhe|r dear ones. They cannot tell how many heavy blows have fallen from the husband’s -hand upon those whom it is his duty to love and cherish and protect. They cannot, tell how many fond expectations' dhd bright hoped Which the fair young bride had of the futnre .bave been blasted and,., turned to bitterest gall. They " cannot number the long, weary hours1of "night,.1during which, she has anxiously awaited,, and yet fearfully dreaded, the heavy foot­ fall at the door; *Figures cannot tell how many- scalding tears the wives have shed, nor how many prayers of bitter anguish.uud- cries of agony God bah heard them utter. They cannot, tell how many mothers have worn Out' soul and body in :providing the neceie •ssries of life for children whom a ,drunken father has left destitute. They cannot tell us how many mother&htva broken with,grief as they saw a darling ,son becoming a drunkard. They can- pof tell us how many White bairs-have gone down in .sorrow -to ' th e . grave, ; mourning over;drunkeu children. They cannot tell ns how many hard-fought battles the drunkard, in his sober mo­ ments; ha* fought with the terrible ap­ petite; how many times he has walked his room in despair, tempted to commit suicide, because he could not conquer the .demon; And, finally, we cunpat search the records of the other world, and tell how many souls have been shut Out from that holy place, where Uo drunkard .enter*, and. banished to the regions of eternal despair by the demon pt drink.—Prof. G. E, Kaufman VARIOUS NOTES. Tax directors of the Columbian expo­ sition have "refused to grant space to the World’s Woman’s Christian Tem­ perance union for the erection of a building in which to exhibit the work and, progress of the temperance reform. “F unny , isn’t it, that' the man who would be ashamed to travel the streets munching a slice of wholesome bread and butter, that would hurt nobody, la not ashamed to go along puffing a vile cigar that injure* him and polsonathe air that otliers-have to breathe?"—West­ ern Plowman. A drink made out of ground quassia (a half ounce steeped in a pint of vine­ gar) is recommended as a. substitute for'alcdholic drinks .to those who creve them.’ A small teaspoonful in a little water should be taken whenever the liquor thirst becomes overpowering. This is very helpful if a drinker will persevere in tiyhlijf it.—Union Signal. T he town of Harvey, 111., is estab­ lished on a solid temperance basis, and has proved that manufacturers can bo more prosperous when their employes are prosperous and artefree from the sa­ loon curse. H has been fully demon­ strated there that men can do better work in foundries and iron and steel works without beer than with it. They have just located three -additional in­ dustries. One hundred and sixty-eight new houses are under contract, and there i* great activity in this manufac­ turing town. We are fnlly assured that Harvey is without a saloon, and the re­ strictions are shell on every lot sold by the Harvey Hand association that sa­ loons cannot come in the future. A coMWcSPOSimitr of John Swinton’s paper, the organ of the labor unions, calls attention to the claim of the brew­ er* that they give employment to five hundred thousand men, and toys: “Think of this, workingmen! Half a million mch employed In destroying food* in rotting grain, stc., turaisg it lime poison tha t make* men fiends, wive* widow*, children orphans, the Industrious lazy, the intelligent numb skulls, and sends women and children to work in piaee of men, thus filling the land with tramps and loafer* for the worker* to *upport. If it is true th a t every person who produces noth* ing beneficial to society is no bettor then a pauper, then all labor employed making, handling or selling such drink* is labor wasted, aad propla *o employed are pauper* or maker* of pauper*.* Pssfn?M Ouanot bs Cnrsd tor loeel apulioationa, as they cannot reach tee diseased portion of toe ear. There is only one way to cure Deafness, end that Is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the rau­ cous lining of the Eustachian 'Tube. When this tube goto inflamed you have a rambling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed Deafness la the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken but and this tube restored to its normal condi­ tion, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh, which la nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces .
