hit-l pillow and offered two petitions. one
that he lniglll be spared i0 Ree once more
the faces of his brother. and brother‘s
wife: the other. that he might at least
die in their presence. The latter prayer
was answered. and he died on shi iboard,

persons who when children were suc-
cessful in solving some ofrthe puzzles in
“The Youth‘s Uabinetf‘ Susan F. Riy-
mond. Julia Taylor. "on: Augusta Fer-
ris. Francis Arthur Ferns. and Amelia

water tank now stands. After going
through our lesson we marched back
in time to join in the clbsing exercises
at the church. After a time. an old
christian lady (Mrs. Raymond.) who
lived in a house on the south side of the
church. now where Scoficid‘s hotel

loved to see and hear the little children.
Our Superintendent consented and so

a long time in the spacious dining room
of Mrs. Raymond. I can see the smile
on that dear old lady's face even now
as she welcomed us every Sunday noon.
There was a great temperance crusade

sires decided that mm was acursc. and

a temperance society of our own. and
all were badges and medals. I think the
medals had on them “Tippecanoe and

No one who has heard John B. (iougb

peculiar magnetism of his glance when.

would step forward. as if seeking to come
nearer to his audience. as it eager to look

it seemed to a fiery flood of eloquence in
which the prim-lion that moved him waa
not less striking than the dignity, felici-
ty and force of the language which
c othed his vivid thoughts. At theeo
moments he was eloquent to the point of
inspiration. and there were few indeed
who could listen untouched to his ora-
tory. Nor are there many higher or
nobler topics than that which he discou-
ed so powerfully. An evil which ex-
ceeds any inherent in nature, rhapa
not even excepting death. it evil
which hinders human progress more than
any which for thuuaandacf yen-a have

which men have until recently concent-

which the beat existence may well be
devoted; an apostolic million ascend to

A rich wine dealer. residing in Lon-

his friends around him that his agony
was occasioned by the nature of the
business he had followed for years. He
stated that it had been his habit to pur-

by making use‘of lead and other dele-
teriouli substances. to restore the wine to
palatable taste. He said he did not

of the mixtures on those who drank

A \"orql To The older One: About Chan-fly.
First let us take a few line- from the
life of the hero we have been speaking
of. Mr. (iough was hospitable and
charitable. There was always a wei—
coine at Hillside for every caller, no
matter what his condition or station in
life. and no poor person ever went away
cold or hungry. Mr. Gough’s charities
were almoet innumerable. For year: he
supported the widow and family of Mr.
Straton. the man who found him drunk
in the streets of \Yorcester and induced
him to take the pledge. He was not 08-
tentatious. but was always ready to an-
swer the call of anv of the local charita-
hle institutions. His last public appear-
ance iii New York was in Mechanics‘
Hall on December 210. when he gelivered
his lecture on "Peculiar People“ for the
benefit of the Young Men‘sl‘hristtan Ae-
sociiition. it was noted at that time that
his physical powers seemed to be failing.
lie began with his old energy and mug-
nctisiii. but became exhausted before he
wa§ half through and his etforts to finish
satisfactorily Were almost painful to the
audience. lie appreciated his condition.
and told a friend that he did not expect
to live thrcugh the coming year. Mr.
timigli did an almost incredible amount
of platform Work. Up to the first of the
present year he had delivered 8.567 lec-
tures and travelled fullv half a million
miles. Over one million copies of his
lectures and more than one hundred
thousand copies of his autobiography
have been sold. He earned a I
amount of money. hilt dispensed it free.
ly and it is not believed that be lefta
large property. »
The young man who goeeforth into
this wmld expecting to meet a kind and
synipathiziiig friend. at every turn, or
anticipates having soft words of en-
couragement whispered in his ear. will
soon discover his mistake. There is n
kind of charity in existence that loves to
hear itself talk. that is always going to
perform some noble act to-morrow or
next day. and yet never succeeds in do-
ing very much of any thing. This is not
the kind of charity that men most need.
This life is really a rough and tumble
contest. and while there are counties
numbers who are daily striving toget up
in the world. many of these individuals
make out to get down instead. A
all grades of society. in all grades in
stations of life. there is this lamentable
want of real practical charity. for look
where you Will. the grand idea with all
them seems to he to look out for number
one. and with too many it is a life motto
to reach prospi rity even though they
must climb over the misfortunes of
nthers to do it. The great tide of hu-
man events is daily casting high and dry
upon the shore some wreck of humanity.
whom one kind word. or some small net
of charity would have saved. Sn
no Mr. Stratuu had laid his hand upon
the shoulder of young Gough and en-
treated him to take the pledge and be 8
man? The possibilities are that the world
might never heard his eloquent appeals
in behalf of the cause of temperance. If
we who are older in experience and ad-
vanced in years would try and brighten
the prospect ahead. try and lighten the
burdens of life, when the opportunities
present themselves. many a oung man
would be helped and insp' to a better-
ment of life. May we learn to look
more away from self. and as we do this
we shall widen and deepen our own man-
hood. and we may be of benefit. Some
one once said. "Charity istbe silent yet
powerful language in which heart speaks
to heart. and in the coming years the .
kindly words it may have uttered will
yet echo and re—echo along the halls of
memory.“ UNCLE JOHN.
