and they go there, their children follow them, in consequence of the respectable deviltry of the gilded saloons.True, that even prohibition has failed to eradicate completely the evil of intoxication, and so have the ten commandments and the gospels, by prohibition and moral suasion combined, failed totally to remove the evils of sin.But, it should Lie borne in mind (hat prohibition, until recently, has nowhere included, even in state law, the manufacture, aud never vet anywhere, the indispensable co-operation of the va- tional power with that of the state, so as effectunlly to prevent manufacture, importation and transportation, as well as the sale.And still further it should be remembered that whatever and whatsoever extent prolubition of the liquor traffic has failed, license has failed a thousand-fold more and worse.Although there are some in every community who have that fortunate degree of selt control which enables them to indulge without perceptible detriment, yet is their example cven more dangerous to others than if attended with the obvious ruin which overtakes those who vainly hope they may likewise cscape the whirlpool which destroys the many.And, even if it may be said by these few, that they need no other law than that which they are to themselves, yet for «wo reasons, at least, should they submit to the general prohibition of the traflic\u2014a submission which they should yield the more readily, since it would require of their stoical temperaments no great degree of sclf- denial.\u2019 First.No mun can indulge in the use of alcohol as a beverage without, danger, even though he escape.Apparently well-groundad self confidence has proved the ruin of many whom the absence of temptation and opportunity would have saved.Second.It is the duty of the few to submit to and even themselves to coforce whatever general law is for the general good.\u2018This isa fundamental law of society, and not merely an observation of fanatics and cranks.The day is past when the man who claims that the general use of intoxicating liquors as a beverage is not a general curse, can expect to avoid classification either as an knave or a fool.This great issue of the concentration of public sentiment, operating by all means at its command, whether of persuasion or of penalty, for the destruction of alcoholism will never allow peace to party organizations un- tl it is settled, and settled right.That settlement implies the destruction of the evil, its eradication, not its amelioration simply, for it is the evil which raises the issue.No great evil founded on human appetite and desire can be settled right and settled effectually until it is prohibted by law.The substantial enforcement of its prolubition constitutes thie settlement ; and the fact that the appetite is acquired and not natural gives us the sure and perwanent reformation io be consummated during the generations to come.I hope the American people will soon comprehend that the destruction of the traffic in alcoholic drinks is not a local issue.\u2018That issue is more all- pervading than the tariff, or than in- ter-state and foreign commerce.As education is the great constructive, so temperance reform is the great preventive or protective issue, of the times.The evils of; alcohol are not only in every state, but in every home, aud effect every human lieing.For the reason that the Confederation failed, the National Constitution was created.We are now dealing wit) this evil as states.\u2018I'he slates will fuil as the Confedration failed.\u2018The Nation alone, which includes the stules, can destroy the liquor traffic.Then let the National Constitution be amended and put an end to the trifling which has wasted the tremendous energies of the last half century, What is now = ade anywhere can be sold and transported in the original pnckages, everywhere.Any one tere titory or county can manufacture for the whole country, and, if need be, for the whole world.\u2018l\u2019rausporta- tion in the original packages being protected by national law, when the cont of negotiation, from | .JUIN GO.FOSTER, | ta Lory Lae, V1, sumer, Lis appetite sharpens ingenuity | and evading all the trammels of the .liquor reaches the vicinity of the constate, transfers to the yearning awd yswoing human cavities which are eagerly waiting their habitual stimulation.New York is helpless iu presence of the disiil'eries of the rest of the country, even if she had none of her own; and, unrestrained, New York alone can practically defeat temperance reform everywhere else in the national domain.I do not wean that by infinite toil we nay not roll the stone nearly to the top of the bill, but F do mean that it will escape us, and roll again to the bottom.Old Sisyplius had holiday recreation compared with our eternal task.Owing to the peculiar form of our government, which divides the functions of sovereignty between the nation and the states, it requires har- moninus action by both, in order to cxert the powers over this evil which in England are cxercised by Parlin- ment alone, or by a single supreme force in almost any other civilized country.There never can be successful control asserted over the traffic in the great commercial centers of the country, and particularly in the city of New York, save by national power.Nor sbould we forget that exportation must forever continue subject tu the national power, so that if we are to be putting the bottle to the lips of neighboring nations, if we are to prevent wicked trafic by which, to-day, combined with other **Chiristian\u201d nations, we are destroying the millions of Africa whoo, under false pretenses, we liave organized as the Congo state, the national power must be evoked, and in order that action may be efficient and certain and of unquestionable authority, for all these reasons, the National Constitution must be amended.Meanwhile, and until a better day, the friends of the reform will do welt to live in charity with each other, and uphold everywhere the best having any good in it that the majority are attempting constantly urging public sentiment onward and upward to the final goal of state and national prohibition.\u2018Fhat sentiment is all the time climbiog and ripening.I know this, for I watched for it in isolation for years.The time must soon come when the greatest curse of the nation will be destroyed by the nation.Aye, more, sume of us shall live to see Lhis traffic which is the chief curse of the civilized world, like the slave trade, ivterdicted and destroyed by the penalties of iuterna- tional law enforced by every resource of international power.God speed the day! ode Teaching Horses How to Stand.{Rural Canadian] An old horseman gives the following as his method of training horses to stand without heing tied: After young horses have once become entirely bridle wise, I first endeavor to teach them the meaning of every word 1 say to them.That is not a difficult watter, provided too many words are not used at ounce.The first step is to adopt some word at the sound of which they are io understand that they must stop.Words that arc casy to speak, and which can be made cmphatic, should be chosen, such as \u2018\u201cho,\u201d \u2018\u2018whoa,\u201d etc., and every time the word is used the horse to which it is spoken should be made to obey it fully.Carelesaness in regard to this matter will do more to undo what has been taught than anything else.When a horse fully understands the meuning of the word which you use when you wish him to stop and staud still, the greater part of the work is accomplished.He then can be trusted with safety while you leave him a short time.To take no risk, and to make the work more effective, it is a good plan for two to gel intu ihe vehicle to which a horse is hitched, and, having stopped after a short drive, one should get out and leave him for a short distance.Should the horse then start, the one in the vehicle can then draw the lines suddevly, and thus prevent his getting away.There will be no trouble ib teaching any horse with an ordinary amount of common-seuse lo stand as long as you desire without being hitched, if a little jadgment and patience are used in attempting it.\u2014\u2014 - A Stray Lamb, Village Parson (entering country editor's office)\u2014*You promised to publish that sermon 1 scat you on Mouday, but I do not find it in the latest issuc of your paper.\u201d Elitor\u2014\u201cI sent it up.It surely went in.What was the name of it?\u201d Parson\u2014*\u2018Feedi my lambs.\u201d .Kditor (af ter searching through paper)\u2014Ah\u2014yes\u2014um\u2014Here it is.You see we've got a new foreman, and he put it under the head of \u201cAgricultural Notes,\u201d as \u201cHints on the Care of Sheep.\u201d When a cat gives au entertainment from the top of a wall, il isn't the cat we object to, it's the wnul.\u2014[Kcene (N.H.) Sentinel.Grape Culture in Canada.WILLIAM MEAD PATTISON, PROVINCE QUEBEC.Au increasing interest has been tuk- en for some years back in the cultivation of the grape in the southern part of this Province.The localities found best adapted to it are in the valleys of the Ottawa, St.Lawrence and Richelieu Rivers, which possess a calear- ous shaly soil of early allavial formation.As the waters of (he three greal rivers keep off carly and late frosts, the meteorological records of these sections compare favorably with Ceutral New York and the Hudson River Valley.while the dryer atmosphere, free in great measure from fogs and humidity in summer, exempts the vine from its formidable enemy, mildew.On localities of suitable al- litude this, ander proper gulture, is unknown, and many varieties subject to this scourge further south have shown no tendency to it here.Grapes cannot be raised here aud brought to early maturity without proper regard to fall and summer prusing and winter protection, These requisities involve so large an outlay of labor, that in a commercial point of view we can searcely compete with southern grape growers.\u2018The position of Clar- enceville, on a peniosula extending into Lake Champlain, with ils walers on the cast and (he noble Richelieu River, its outlet, on the west, has been found an exceptionally favorable locality for this latitude.It lies at an altitude of some two hundred feet above these waters and is never lacking in free circulation of air at all season.Damaging frosts rarely come later than the middle of May; in the fall they average sboul the 14th of October.Some situations on the Ottawa River, at Montreal and Ahbotts- ford, are verylittle behind them in this\u2018 respect.On my experimental grounds at Clarenceville, of over one hundred and forty varieties that have been on trial more than one hundred are still cultivated with more or less success; nearly all the more promising are annually planted as the failures arc discarded.Propagators are yearly.putting qut new grapes, yeu not one in twenty, after years of patient trisl, may be sail to equal the old standards, or one in forty surpass any of them.\u2014 From Quaint Nantucket.Apropos of Nantucket, one lcars some rather odd sayings and of some quaint happenings there.\u201cYou sce, we are somewhat out of the way,\u201d said one of the islanders; \u201880 tramps seldom trouble us, and it is only when our summer visitors come that we think of locking our doors at night.\u201d Last fall a man was tried for petiy larceny, and sentenced by the judge to three months in jail.A few days after the trial, the judge, accompanied by the sheriff, was on his way to the Boston boat, when they passed a man sawing wood.The sawyer stopped touched his hat, and said, moraing, judge.\u201d The judge looked: at him a moment, passed on a short distauce, then turned to glance backward, with the question, \u201cWhy, sheriff, isn't that the man I sentenced to three months in jail?\u201d .\u201cYes,\u201d replied the sheriff, hesita- tingly\u2014\u2018\u2018ves, that's the man; but you\u2014you sec, judge, we\u2014we haven't auy one in jail now, and we thought it a useless expense to hire somehody to keep the jail for three months just for the one man; so I gave him the jail key, and told him that if he'd sleep there nights it would be all tight.\u2019\u2014[R.A.Marr, in Editor's Drawer of Harper's Magazine for September.his work, \u201cGood- \u2014 el 2 -\u2014\u2014\u2014 Well-Bred Italian Habits.From what I have seen of well- bred, well-to-do Italians at summer resorts, I should say that they take their holidays in wore sensibly than rich Americans.\u2018They make far less display in dress and equipage, they keep better hours and avoid excess in exercise and amusements.They show less anxiety to be exclusive in their associations and high-toned in their manners.They do not thrust long pedigrees or long purses down your throat.They bravely wear comfortable old clothes.Their kirtles and their titles, their coats and their coat-of-arms, set easily upon them.Mauy a fair contessa, whose home in Florence or Rome is

suggestions of a praction! nature that will apply ta almost any large town or village.The writer, speaking of a recently published sermon by Dr.Bartel of Boston upon these young barbarians, says :\u2014 This venerable speaker itlustrated his subject by this personal experience: \u2014 Lu Being mostly a humble pedestrian: in wy mode of daily exercise, add not lifted in a close carriage above

by ane or another small coward, who would instantly, for concealment or protection, veitreat into the intreuchiweunts of a dozen scamps of his own color, obdurate against the expostulation, and who, if their victim said a word or made a motion at the injured party, were ready to renew and rub in the affront.: Let the reader ponder well this picture\u2014this noble.old man, whose lofty brow and piercing blue eyes and snow-white locks have all the dignity of an.ancient prophet, thus pérse- cuted in the city of the Puritays, and under the shadow of (he state-house.Let that picture stand up for a type of the miscliief we bave to face and to subdue., ' That mischief, in broad terms, is the demoralization of.à .consilerabla part of our juvenile pépulation.It is a matter not for outbursts of &d- asperation as against a cloud of act-) ive mosquitoes, but for very considerate atiention aud very resolute action.It is not necessary to fall back ou the doctrine of total depravity, or to take despairing views.\u2018But we must recognize that here is a most serious problem.To trace all the causes of the evil would take us deep into the, spripgs of national life.There has been ap influx of foreign elements, a materialism bred by the fierce competitive struggle for subsistence aud for advancement, \u2018a weakening of the old religious sanctions along with a loss of faith in the old creed.The principle of authority has been weakened, in the state and io the family.Obedience is not inculcated as it used to be.The tie of the family is weaker.Or, to speak justly, while a pact of our society has progressed, and abounds in the family and individual life than which none was ever spunder or sweeter\u2014these beneficent influcnces have almost wholly failed to reach other great classes, in which: freedom has rou into license and lawlessness.Matthew Arneld said the weakest spot in our national character was want of reverence.It must be confessed that our newspapers and our common talk abound in a spirit which tends to dissolve in the- young all sober regard and respect.What \u2018can be expected among a people which delights in such stuff as *\u2018Peck\u2019s Bad Boy?\" Our very good nature lends iteelf to abuse.\u2018\u2018Let the boys have a good lime\u201d is the apology for turning the Fourth of July into 4 pandemonium.However they came.to be, here arc our young barbarians on our hands.What is to be their fatare and: our future which is bound up with theirs?What sort of voters are they going to make, and what kind of a \u201cgovernment will be built on such material ?What sort of workmen are they likely to become, and what will be the issuc of \u2018\u2018Inbor troubles\u201d m which they make an element?What kind of neighbors will they be to our children ?We are speaking of evils which are fully developed in only a small element of our population, but which can no more be confined there than swall-pox and diphtheria can be forbidden to spread by coutagion.And the recklessncss, insolence and mischief wlich in their worst forms become open crime, do already as an incipient tendeucy pervade our 'juvenile class to an alarming \u201cextent.We shall hereafter suggest some special measures of treatment for the disease.But the first cascntial is that every good citisen should recognize the disease as a fact, and a fact of the gravest importance.It is vastly more important than, most \u201cof the political questions on which we spend so much sound aud Yury.Whether the average rate of protective duties shall be 40 or 47 per cent, \u2014whether Mr.Cleveland or Gen.Harrison shall be President,-how deeply do these questions really :concern our welfare, compared with the questions how our rising generation Howes.was shot and
