The Delusion of Drink.

ONE of the delusions of the whisky drinker is, that he is made stronger by the use of stimulants. He is made stronger just as he is made wiser and richer—"in his own conceit." A man half drunk would be ready to out-argue Solomon, or offer to buy out the Rothschilds. Everything with him is on a grand scale. The stones in the road look larger, and he steps several inches higher than he did before; but in fact he is no wiser, richer nor stronger than he was before he impaired his judgment by the deceiving cup.

A correspondent eighty years of age, writing to the Temperance Advocate, illustrates the principle thus: "Fifty-five years ago the writer of this was a resident of West Virginia, and one morning four of us, young men, started to walk two miles on a new-made turnpike; and on the way two of my friends got to talking about their personal strength. Each one thought himself the strongest, and in order to try we stepped out to the side of the road, where there were plenty of rocks of all sizes. One was selected that after trying neither one could lift. I then tried it myself, and raised it quite easily on to my knees. We then went on to the camp of the turnpikers. There we were treated to whisky. I drank some (but I think quite moderately), and on going back, as I believed myself so much stronger for the whisky, I thought I would step out and lift it again, and perhaps toss it off a rod or two, but my surprise was great when I found I could not raise it enough to let daylight under it. It set me to thinking, and I thought that whisky was a lie; that its use gave weakness instead of strength. And although I had a good and growing appetite for it, I joined a temperance society the first opportunity, and since that I have not pulled the cork out of a bottle of spirits of any kind, and I am quite certain if I had continued to drink spirits I should not have attained the age of eighty years, as I have already done. My advice to young men is, if you want to be strong in body and mind, happy in this world and the next, use neither whisky nor tobacco."

Effect of Tea on the Skin.

If you place a few drops of strong tea upon a piece of iron, a knife blade, for instance, the tannate of iron is formed, which is black. If you mix tea with iron filings, or pulverized iron, you can make a fair article of ink. If you mix it with fresh human blood, it forms with the iron of the blood the tannate of iron. Take human skin and let it soak for a time in strong tea; and it will become leather. Now, when we remember that the liquids which enter the stomach are rapidly absorbed by the venous absorbents of the stomach, and enter into the circulation and are thrown out of the system by the skin, lungs, and kidneys, it is probable that a drink so common as tea, and so abundantly used, will have some effect. Can it be possible that tannin, introduced with so much liquid-producing respiration, will have no effect upon the skin? Look at the tea-drinkers of Russia, and Chinese, and the old women of America, who have so long continued the habit of drinking strong tea. Are they not dark colored and leather skinned?

Simple and Good.

FARINACEOUS food is recommended by an English scientist as a counteraction to intemperance. The experiment was tried upon twenty-seven liquor-drinking persons, with results substantiating the theory. Among the more striking instances of reform brought about by a change of diet was that of a gentleman of sixty, who had been addicted to intemperate habits for thirty-five years, his outbursts averaging once a week. His constitution was so shattered that he had great difficulty in insuring his life. After an attack of delirium tremens, which nearly ended fatally, he was persuaded to enter upon a farinaceous diet, which, we are assured, cured him completely in seven months.

He seems to have been very thin at the beginning of the experiment, but at the close of the period named had gained twenty-eight pounds, being then about the normal weight for a person of his height. — Christian Herald.

How Jellies Are Made

The English are enormous consumers of sauces and jellies. The latter are made by the ton in the London manufactories out of old hides, sheep and calfskins, old kid gloves, buckskin breeches, horses' hoofs, scraps of leather-size and glue. During the Crystal Palace Exhibition in 1851, hides in London advanced ten per cent in price on account of the great demand for jellies in the refreshment rooms of that city. Cargoes, instead of being devoted to the uses for which they were imported,—that of boot and shoe-making—were brought up by the manufacturing confectioners for jelly making.

Religious News and Notes.

By Editor

—There are over 260 city missionaries in New York, who make about 800,000 visits a year.

—The trial of Talmage commenced on the 24th ult. Much feeling is arising in the denomination.

—Nearly all the walking matches in New York were stopped by the police, on Sunday, March 23.

—There are over one hundred Chinamen in Boston, fifty-two of whom are enrolled in a missionary school.

—In 7,000 church-yards in England a dissenting parishioner cannot be buried by his own minister.

—There were about 300 Jews in Jerusalem at the beginning of this century; now about 13,000. A rich Jew of Venice has established a school of agriculture.

—Rev. Dr. Shaw of Rochester, N. Y., a staunch Presbyterian, says women shall pray at his prayer meetings, and he should like to see anybody try to stop them.

—The Christian at Work speaks of “the machineried-to-death Sunday school.” The Presbyterian Weekly says, “A little less church machinery, and a little more oil of love,” will help the work of the church.

—The public affairs of England, a Protestant Country, are directed by a Jew; in France, a Catholic Country, the most important offices are held by Protestants; and the Minister of Foreign Affairs in Turkey is a Christian.

—It is now said that the St. Louis Baptist minister who invited the Unitarian to remain at communion, “is heartily sorry for it.” Those religious papers which so praised “Christian liberality” may now express their regrets.

—Bishop Coxe says there is no more need of revising the Bible than of revising Shakspeare! But one is a translation—the other is not. And if Shakspeare was to occupy as important a position as the Bible does, we should petition for a very thorough revision.

—The report of the Society for the Suppression of Vice, sometimes called Mr. Comstock’s Society, shows good results in the destruction of vile reading and in convicting the vile criminals who circulate it. The extent to which immoral reading is circulated in schools is alarming.

—Dr. Bowles, Universalist, severely handled Dr. Kalloch, Baptist, last Sunday evening, for the following expression in the report of his lecture of March 9:—“It was a terrible truth that by no other possible means the Chinese could be got rid of, then the Chinese element in San Francisco would be wiped out in blood.”

—A Chicago rector of the Reformed Episcopal Church has announced that hereafter the sermon will occupy but twenty minutes. That will do; but if he should lengthen the sermon and cut down the music to twenty minutes, he would be in danger of losing his congregation. Religious meetings may soon be classed as “amusements.”

—Concerning the current excuses for Bishop Purcell, the Christian at Work says. It is perfect folly to call this affair simply “an embarrassment, the result of mistake of judgment.” Such language indicates that the archbishop and his brother were idiots or fools; but the Roman Catholic Church does not make prelates out of such material.

—The Alliance publishes a note from “Robert Raikes, Junior,” who says he “can’t stand these Sunday-school lessons,” and asks the editor to “fire a shot at the series.” The editor promises to “try to incite a rebellion against them,” if they are not improved. “Sunday-school literature,” as a whole, is about as trashy as can well be got up.

—A letter from Lepere, French Minister of the Interior, reproving the Bishop of Grenoble for misrepresenting the Government and encouraging a disobedience of the laws, by a pastoral, wherein he declared that the Government is hostile to religion, and that laws are not sanctioned by the Church and therefore not binding, is attracting much attention, as the sternest and most determined communication recently addressed by the civil power to any prelate.

Obituary

DIED, in San Jose, Cal., March 23, of consumption, Bro. Arthur Boardman, aged 42 years, 6 months, and 23 days.

Bro. Boardman was born in Tompkins Co., N. Y. About five years ago he removed from Lacrosse, Wis., to California, and when the tent was pitched in Santa Clara Valley, he attended regularly. With his companion he embraced the truth, and publicly professed the Christian faith. He was even then obliged to carefully protect himself from the chilly night air, but his interest was so great that he continued to attend to the close of the meetings. He never went to evening meetings much afterward.

Sister Boardman deeply mourns her loss, which is a great one, but not without hope. She has many friends to lament with her.

The funeral was attended by the writer.

J. H. WAGGONER.

DIED, on the Fualiton River, Washington Co., Oregon, February —, 1879, of diptheria, Edwin Hicklin, aged ten years. The family have passed through severe afflictions, but most of them indulge the hope of deliverance "when Jesus comes."

Do Not be Discouraged.

By Editor

MANY missionary workers get discouraged if they cannot soon see good resulting from their labors. They should not be discouraged, nor cease their efforts if they never see any fruit. Work in faith. It is written in a certain testimony that that which is done in love will be fruitful. We have known instances of good resulting where the instrument could never be aware that the fruit was through his instrumentality. Bro. Taylor wrote from Georgia as follows :—

"I cannot say how it is in all such cases; but many who have not answered letters addressed to them are much interested, and have received some light. In some instances they intended to write, but put it off till they were ashamed, or the card or letter got lost and they did not remember the address. I speak from personal knowledge when I say that the reading has done good in several cases of this kind."

Temperance at the White House.

At the last State reception at the White House, one of the most brilliant ever held there, with its eight hundred and fifty invitations, no wine was allowed. The newspapers have been very sure that the good lady for once would forego her temperance ideas, the wish perhaps being father to the thought. An admiral present being asked if he missed the wine, replied: "Not a bit. It is a perfect godsend to old fellows like me to spend an evening without wine. To-morrow I'll get up in first-rate condition—no headache, not cross, and blessings on Mrs. Hayes for her good sound sense!"

The moral heroism displayed by Mrs. Hayes is without a parellel. Heretofore he was considered a brave man who refused wine at a White House reception. President Polk was considered a remarkable man in this respect—he would not taste of wine at his own board. But he did not dare to brave the influence of custom so far as to refuse it a place at his receptions. The influence of Mrs. Hayes' devotion to principle will extend to every nation which has a Minister in Washington.

What does it Mean?

By Editor

In the Evangel of San Francisco of March 28 there is a recommendation of a “First Class Grocery” house, with a brief notice of shams in which are the following words:—

“The health of the family depends on the purity of the articles it eats and drinks. And in this age of frauds and shams almost everything is adulterated. The sugar is sanded, the rum is watered, the coffee is chicoried, and everything is changed or cheapened in the interest of cheap groceries.”

We regard this as a criticism of a very dubious nature. Webster says adulteration is “debasement by foreign mixtures.” We have no personal experience in the matter, but had imbibed the idea that rum would not be injured by the addition of water. Does Dr. Kaloch wish his readers to understand that he thinks it is better clear? It might be further inquired if “rum” is included in “groceries” in his list of expenses. A D. D. should be more careful in his recommendations.

The Difference.

NEARLY every secular paper that mentions the bankruptcy of Archbishop Purcell, of Cincinnati, takes occasion to compliment the prelate. "He was a great and good man whose life has been devoted to good works," and all profoundly sympathize with him. Not a word of sympathy is expressed for the numerous creditors who have lost in the aggregate six million dollars at the hands of this eminently pious priest. Had a Protestant bishop been defaulter to the amount of one fiftieth part of the sum which Priest Purcell honestly owes, his corruption would have been heralded from ocean to ocean and from the rivers to the ends of the earth!—Cul. Christian Advocate.

An Anti-Tramp Law That Works.

THE anti-tramp bill introduced in the New York Assembly is very severe on vagabonds and beggars. It will be criticised as an iron-handed, almost cruel, measure. But no one can say it will not work. For this identical plan has made tramps as scarce in New Hampshire as snakes in Ireland. All other laws for the suppression of tramping have failed. They were only handfuls of grass. This one is a stone. It defines a tramp in general terms to be a person going about from place to place, begging beyond the limits of the town in which he is an actual resident—specially excepting women and blind people. These mendicants are made liable to fifteen months' imprisonment. If the tramp, after the fashion of his kind, enters a house unbidden, or builds a fire on the highway or on private property without permission, or threatens to injure any one, or willfully and maliciously does happen to harm any person or to the real and personal estate of another, he may be imprisoned for terms varying up to five years. So stringent a law is open to abuse. So is every human statute. Possibly some innocent man, footing it merrily over the country—or some honest mechanic hunting for work—might unknowingly get into the meshes of such a law. But this would be one case out of a million. In New Hampshire, the birthplace of this system, no instance of such injustice has been made public if it has occurred. The law is rarely forced on anybody now for lack of material. The tramps fled from the State in dismay as soon as the act was passed last August. All respectable persons of all parties approve of a law which makes it safe for women to traverse lonely roads, for children to go to school, and stops the burning of houses and barns, the theft of poultry and injury to crops. Every tax-payer feels a personal relief since this law was substituted for one which undertook to provide tramps with work, food and lodging at county expense. The old law, the offspring of spurious philanthropy, actually invited tramps to flock to New Hampshire, and partake of her bounty. The requirements of work did not frighten them, because they always managed to shirk it in the House of Correction, and waxed fat and kicked while the county authorities were obliged to levy taxes or borrow money to support the hateful guests. Six months of experience having proved the practical wisdom of the New Hampshire law, in freeing a State from these strolling pests, we do not hesitate to recommend its adoption in New York.—N. Y. Journal of Commerce.

Teachers' Bibles.

By Editor

AFTER a careful examination of many varieties of Bibles, we are satisfied that the Oxford Teachers' Bible presents more advantages than any other we have seen. The print is clear, and the binding substantial. In addition to the authorized text, with references, it contains much that is essential to the study of the Bible, to wit:—

1. Notes on the Old and New Testaments. 2. Index. 3. Concordance. 4. Dictionary of Scriptural Names, with their pronunciation and meaning. 5. Twelve Scripture Maps.

The price has been recently reduced, so that they can be offered even lower than the English Bibles we have previously kept.

Please order by number, and not by price.

We have also a good supply of family Bibles, and Bibles adapted to church use, which were bought low and can be sold below prices offered at any book store. The type is Small Pica, and very easy to read. Prices from $7.50 to $9.00. These Bibles must be sent by freight or express as they are too heavy to go by mail.

We have a few copies of Bibles for the center table, beautifully bound, Minion type. Prices from $4.00 to $7.50.
