Brooklyn Academy of Music, from the text: It Is my SOD'S cost; so nil besst hath devoured lilm.—Gen. xxxvSI., 33. Joseph's tyethren dipped their brother’s cost in post's blood, and then brought the ctnbbled garment to their father, cheating him with the idea that a ferocious animal had slain him, and thus hiding their infamous behavior. But there is no deception about that which we hold up to your observation tc-day. A monster such as never ranged African thicket or llindostan jungle hath tracked this land, and with * bloody malt hath strewn the continent with the mangled carcasses of whole ' ; generations; and there are tons of thou- • sands of fathers and mothers who could hold up the garment of their slain boy. truthfully exclaiming. “It is my son’s coat; an evil beast hath devoured him.” There has, in all ages and climes, been a tendency to the improper use of stimulants. Noah, as if disgusted with the prevalence of water in his time, took to strong drink. By this vice Alexander the Conqueror was conquered. The Bomans at their feasts fell off their seats with intoxioatlon. Four hundred millions of our race are opiuroeaters. India, Turkey and Cbina have groaned with the desolation; and by It have been quenched such lights as Malley and .Do Quincey. One-hundred rail lion are the victims of the betel nut, * which has specially blasted the East Indies Three hundred millions chew hasheesh, and Persia, Brazil and Africa suffer the delirium. The Tartars employ murowa; the Mexicans, the agave; the people at Guarapo an intoxicating quality taken from surgar-cane; while a great multitude, that no man can number, are tho disciples of alcohol. To It they bow. Under it they are trampled. In its trenches they fall. On its ghastly holocaust they burn. Could the muster roll of this great army be called, and they could come up from the dead, what eye could endure the reeking, festering putrefaction and beastliness? What heart could endure the groan of agony? Drunkenness: Does it not jingle the burglar's key? Does it not whet the hssassin’s knife? Does it not cock the highwayman’s pistol? Does it not wave the incendiary’s torch? Has it not sent tho physician reeling into the sick room: and the minister with hit tongue thick into the pulpit? Did not an exquisite poet, from the very top of his fame, fall a gibbering sot, into the gutter, on his way to be; married to one of the fairest daughters of New England, and at the aery hour the bride was decking herself for the altar; and did he not die of delirium tremens almost unattended, in n hospital? Tamerlane asked foe one hundred and sixty tbousJlid skulls with which to build a pyramid to his own honor. He got the skulls, and built the pyramid. But if the bones of all those who have fallen as a prey to dissipation could he piled up. it would make a vaster pyramid. Who will gird himself for the journey, and try with me to scale this mountain of the dead—going up miles high on human carcasses to find still other pcqks fat above, mountain above nsrthln, white with the bleached bones of drunkards. The Sabbath has been sacrificed to the rum traffic. To many of our people the best day is the worst’ Bakers must keep tbeir^shopS closed on tho Sabbath. It is dangerous to have loaves of bread going out on Sunday. The shoo store is closed; severe penalty will attack the man who sells boots on the Sabbath. Bntdown with the windowshutters of ,tbe grog-shop! Our laws shall ccnier^particular honor upon the rum traffickers. A11 other trades must stand aside for these. Let our citizens who have displaced themselves by trading i« clothing, and hosiery,3nd hard

• %* nair, auu juiuuvi) their hats to the rum seller, elected to particular honor. It is unsate for any other class fit men to be allowed license for Sunday work. But swing out your signs, oh ye traffickers in the peace of families and in the souls of j no mortal men! Let the corks fly, and the beer foam, and the rum go tearing down the' half-consumed ihroat of the inebriate.'' God does not see! Does he? Judgment will never come? Will it I do not know hut that .God is determined to let drunkenness triumph, and the husbands and sons of thousands of our best families be destroyed. by this rice, in order that our people, amazed and indignant, may rise up and demand the extermination of this municipal :rime. There is a way of driving down the hoops of a barrel so tight that they break. We have, in this country at various times, tried to regulate this evil by a tax on whisky. You may as well try to regulate the Asiatic cholera or the small-pox by taxation. The men who distil liquors are, for the most pert, unscrupulous, and the higher the tax, the more inducement to illicit distillation. Ob! the folly of trying to restrain an evil by Government tariff!_ If evey gallon of whisky made—if every flask of wine produced, should be taxed a thousand dollars, it would not he enough to pay for the .tears it has wrunp from the eyes of widows and orphans, nor for the blood it has dashed on the Christ'an church nor' for the catastrophe of the millions it has destroyed forever. I sketch two houses in this street. The first is bright as home can he. The father comes at nightfall, and the children run out to meet him. Luxuriant evening meal. Uratuiation, and syro- . pa thy, and laughter. Music in the parlor. Fine pictures on the walk (ostly books on the stand. Well-clad household. Plenty of everything to make borne happy. House the second: Piano sold yeaterday by the sheriff. Wife's furs at the pawn-broker’s shop. Clock gone. Daughter’s jewelry gone to get flour. Carpets gone off the floor. Daughters in faded and patched dresses. Wife . Bowing for the stores. Little child with an ugly wound on her face, struck in an angry blow. Deep shadow of wretchedness falling in every room. Door-bell rings. Little children hide. Daughters turn pale. Wife holds her breath. Blundering step in the hall. Door opens. Fiend, brandishing hU fist, cries: “Out! out! What' are you doing here?” Did I call this bouse the second? No, it is the same house. Rum transformed It Sum embruted the man* Rum sold the shawl. Rum tore up the carpets. -Rum shook his fist Rum desolated the hearth. Rum changed that paradise into a hell! I sketch two men that you know very well. The first graduated from one of our literary institutions. His father, mother, brothers and sisters were present to see him ate. They Heard the applauding that greeted his speech. They bouquets tossed to his feet > saw the degree conferred and the Ho never looked so

manners! All cri«3: “Hurrah! hurrah!” Man the second: Lies in the stai house. The doctor has just been se: for to bind op the gashes received in n fight. His hair is matted, him look like a wild beast. His lip is blood; and cot. Who is this batter* and bruised wretch that was picked u p b; the police and carried in drank, aid foul and bleeding? Did T call him man the second? He is man the first! Rem. transformed him? Rum destroyed liis' prospects. Rum disappointed parental expectation. Rom withered those garlands of commencement da;. Rum sut his lip. Rum dashed out his manhood. Rum. accursed rum. This foul thing gives one swing to its sc;the, and our best merchants fall; their stores are sold, and the; sink finto dishonored graves. Again it swings its se;the and some of our best nbysieians fall into sufferings that their wisest prescriptions can not cure. Again it swings its scythe and ministers of tl)p Gospel fall from the heights of Zion, with long resounding crash of ruin and shame: Some of your own households have already been shaken. Perhafs yon can hardly admit it; hut .where was your son last night? Where was he Friday night? Where was he Thursday night? Wednesday night? Tuesday night? Monday night? Nay, have not sumo of you in your own bodies felt the power of this habit? You think that you could stop? Are you sure you could? Go on a little further, and I am sure you can not. 1 think if some of you should try to break away, you would find a chain on tho right wrist and one on the left; one on the right foot and another on the left?1 This serpent does not begin to hurt un til it has wound round and round. Then it begins to tighten, and strangle, and crush, until bones crack, and the blood trickles, and the eyes start from their sockets, and the mangled wretch cries: “O God! OGod! help! help?’ But it is too late; and not even the fires of woo can melt the chain when once itis fully fastened. 1 havo shown you the evil beast. The question is: Who will hunt him down, and how shall we shoot him? I answer. First, by getting our children right on ibis subject. Let them grow up with an utter aversion to strong drink. Take care ,how you administer it even as a medicine. If you find that .they have a natural love far it, as some have, put in a glass of some horrid stuff, and make utter nauseous. Teach them, as faithfully as you do the Bible, that rum is a fiend. Take them to the almshouse, and show them the wreck and ruin it works. Walk with them into tho homes that have been scourged by it. Ha drunkard bath fallen into a ditch, take them right lip where they can see his face, bruised, savage and swollen, and say: “Look, my son. Rum did that!” Looking out of your window at some one who, intoxicated to madness, goes through the street, brandishing his fist, blaspheming God. a howling, defying, shouting, reeling, raving and teaming maniac, say to you< son: “Look; that roan was once a child like you ” As you go by the grtrg shop let them know that it is the place where men are slain, and their wives made paupers, ami their children slaves. Hold out to your children all warnings, all rewards all counsels, lest in after days they break your heart and curse your gray hairs. A man laughed at my father for his scrupulous temperance principles and said: “1 am more libaral* than you. 1 always give my children tho sugar in the glass after we have been taking a drink.” Three of his sons havo died drunkards and the fourth is imbecile through hr temperate habit*. Again: We will bai.tle this evil by ■voting only for sober men. How many men are there who can rise above the feelings ol partisanship and demand that our officials shall be sober men. I maintain that tb<» question of sobriety is higher than the question of avallihility; and that, however emin

ent a man's services may be, if he have habits of intoxication be is unfit for any office in the gift of a Christian people. Our laws will be no better than the men who make them. Spend a few days at Harrisburg, or Albany, or Washington, and yon will find out why, upon these subjects, it is impossible to get righteous enactments. Again: We will war upon this evil by organized societies: The friends of the rum traffic hare banded together; annually issue their circulars; raise fabulous sums of money to advance their interests: and by grips. pass-words, signs and stratagems set at defiance public morals. Let us confront them with organizations just as secret, and, if necds.ho, with grips, and pass-words, and signs, maintain our position. There is no need that our philanthropic societies tell all their plans I am in favor of all lawful strategy in the carrying on of this conflict. 1 wish to God we could lay under the wine casks a train which, once ignited, would shake the earth with the explosion of this monstrous iniquity! Again: We will try the power of the pledge. There are thousands of men who have been saved by putting their names to such a document. I know it is laughed at; but there are some men who, having once promised a thing, do. it. “Some have broken the pledge." Yes; th(*y*werc liars,but all men are not liars. I do not say that it is the duty of all persons to make such signature, but I do say that it would bo the salvation of nijiny of you. The glorious work of Theobald Mathew can never ho estimated. At his hand 4,000,000 of people took tbe pledge, and multitudes in Ireland, England, Scotland and America have kept it tin this day. The pledge signed to .thousands has been tbe pr ociamation of emancipation. Again: Wo expect great things from inebriate asylums. They have already done a glorious work. 1 think that we are coming at last to treat inebriation as it ought to be treated,, namely, as an awful disease, self-inflicted, to he dkrc, but, nevertheless, a disease. Once fastened upon a man, sermons won’t cute him; temperance lectures will not eradicate it; religious tracts will not remove it; tbe gospel of Christ will not arrest it. Once under the power of this awful thirst, tho man is bound to go on; and, if tho foaming glass were on the other side of perdition, he wonld wade through the Ores of hell to get it. A young man in prison had such a strong thirst for intoxicating liquors that lie cut off his band at the wrist, called tor a bowl of brandy in order to stop the bleeding, thrust his wrist into the bowl, and then drank the contents. Stand not, when the thirst is on him. between a man and his cups. Clear the track for him. Away with tbe children; he would tread their life out Away with tbe wife; he vrould dash her to death. Away with the cross; he would run it down. Awsy with the Bible; he would tear It up for the winds. A vny with Heaven; ho considers it worthless as a straw. “Give me the drink! Give it to me! Though the hands of blood “auikHiwuksai “-“ trembles it to me! though float on to ray srags; tc my r God, and hope, > drink!' , will contend afftiiis! it tb« tlx

•I lcso either in' here, under God. in your demotion of this 1198a.

(S) You will not, In your last hour, have a regret t hat you made the sacrifice, it sacrifice It 1 As long as you make drinking respectable, drinking customs will prevail, and t he plow-share ot death, drawn by terrible disasters, will go on turning up this whole continent, from end to end, with the long, dfeep, awful furrow of drunkard’s graves. Oh! how this rum fiend would like to go and hang up a skeleton in your beautiful house, so that when you opened the front door to go in, you would see it in the hall; and when you sat at your table you would see it hanging from the wall; and, when you opehed your lied-, room, you would find it stretched upon your pillow; and, waking at night, you would feel its cold hand pi ssing over your face and pinching at your heart. There is no borne so beautiful bu t it may be’deTastated by the awful curse. It throws its jargon into the sweetest harmony. What was it that silenced Sheridan, the English orator, and shattered the golden scepter with which he swayed parliaments and courts! What foul sprite turned the sweet rhythm of Robert Burns Into a tuneless babble? Wbat brought down the majestic form of one who awed the American Senate with his eloquence, and after a while carried him home dead drunk? What was it that swamped the noble spirit of one of the heroes of the last war, until, in a drunken fit, he reeled from the deck of a Westera steamer, and was drowned? There w«r one whose voice we all loved to hear. He was one of the ipost classical orators of the century. ^People wandered why a man of so pure s heart and so excqlent a life should have such s sad countenance always. They knew not that his wife was a sot. I call upon those who are guilty al these indulgences tq quit the path ol death. Oh! what a change it would make in yonr home! Do you see how everything there is being desolated! Would you not like to bring back joy to your wife’s heart, and have your children come out to meet you with as much confidence as once they showed? Would you not like to rekindle the home-lights that long ago were extinguished? It is not too late to change. It may not entirely obliterate from your soul the memory of wasted years and a ruined reputation, nor smooth out from your anxious brow the wrinkles which trouble has plowed. It may not call back unkind words uttered, or rough deeds done; for perhaps in those awful moments you struck her! It may not take from your memory the bitter thoughts connected with some little grave. But it is not too late to save yourself, and secure for God an d your family, the remainder ol your fast-going life. But perhaps yoh have not utterly gone astray. I may address one who may not have quite made up his 'mind. Let your better nature speak out. You take one side or the other in the war against drunkenness. Have you (he courage to put your foot downright, and say to your companions and friends': ‘T will never drink intoxicating liquor in all my life; nor will 1 countenance the habit in others?” Have nothing to do with strong drink. It has turned the earth into a place of skulls,^and has stoqd opening the gate to a lost world to let in its victims, until now the door swings no more upon its hinges, but, day and night, stands wide open to let in the agonized* procession of doomed

1*0 I address one whose regular work in life is to administer to this appetite? For God’s sake go oat of that business! If a woe be pronounced upon the man who gives his neighbor drink, bow many woes must be hanging over the man who does this every day and every hour of the day. Do not think that because human government may license yon that, therefore, God licenses you. I' am surprised to hear you men say that they respect the “original-package” decision, by which the Supreme Court of the United States allows rum to be taken into Kansas, which have decided against the sale of intoxicants. 1 have no respect for a wrong decision. I care not who makes it The three Judges of the Supreme Court who gave minority report against that decision were right, and the Chief Justice was wrong. The right of a State to defend itseif against the rum traffic will yet be demonstrated, the Supreme Court notwithstanding. Higher than the judicial bench at Washington ip the throne of the Lord God Almighty. No enactment, National, State or municipal, can give you the right to carry on a business whose one object is destruction. , God knows better than you do yourself the number of drinks you have poured out. You keep a list; but a more accurate list has been kept tbun yours. You may call it Burgundy, Bourbon, Cognac. HeidsiCck, sour mash or beer. God calls it strong drink. Whether you sell it in low oyster-cellar or behind the polished counter of a first-class hotel, tfao divine curse is upon you. 1 tell you plainly that you will meet your customers one day when there will be no counter between you. When your work is done on earth, and yo1i enter the reward of your business, all the souls ol the men whom you have destroyed will crowd,around you, and pour their bitterness intayo cup. They will show you their wound,s, and say: “You made them,” and point to thyir unquenchable thirst and say: .“You kindled it,” anu rattle their chains and say: “You forged it.” Then their united groans will smite your ear, and with the hands out of which you once picked the sixpences and the dimes, they will push you off the verge of great precipices; while rolling up from beneath, and breaking among the crags of death, will thunder: “Woe to him that giveth his neigh bor drink i;i Stanley's Opinion of Km In.

Once the Gorei-iment giving bounties there will be no point at which it can stop without leaving many unhappy bounty-hunters grumbling because they were toft out in the cold. No sooner was it known that McKin- .j ley gave a bounty of two cents a pound on sugar than the Vermont people, who produce a small quantity of maple sugar, beset the Senate Fin ace Committee and pleaded to he included in the bounty clause of the hill. Of course they could bring forward very-st-ong arguments. “Why make a discrimination against our maple sugar? Is it not sugar, too. just ns well as cane or beet-rcot sugar? Doss it not grow out of the ground—and American ground at that? lltoes it not require labor—American labor? Why not put ! a'lAmer can sugar cm the same footing?” Well, the Senate committee said that the maple sugar men bad the better of the argument, and so maple sugar goes into the bill for the two-cent bounty on every pound produced. Thus the makers of maple sugar, as well as the growers of cane and beet-root sugar, are to be paid to do their own business—paid out of taxes collected from the people. As the Senate committee showed itself to be so generous to the maple sugar men other bounty-hunters have come forward to ask an extension of Government charity. This time it is the makers of grape sugar and glucose, which are largely used to adulterate other products. They have also an" American article, employ American labor, and make a sugar tea Why should they he left out? They are just as thirsty for Government aid as any of the other sugar makers. Now let us see whether the Senate committee can give any good reason for not taking the grape r and glucose men in out of the If McKinley and his tariff-makers were asked why it is noeessary to give a bounty on sugar they would talk about our sugar-growers not being able to compete with the cheap labor of the West Indies, South America and Germany; and they would give you carefully constructed tables showing the wages of farm laborers in those countries Of course, they will say. our sugar-growers can not compete with the cheap labor, and therefore we must help them in the unequal struggle by giving them a bounty. „ But does not McKinley see that if the cheap-labor argument is to be used to defend his sugar bounty, the same argument would apply equally well to the growers of wheat and cotton? The growers of American wheat are compelled to sell their crop in competition with the cheap lalbor of Russia and India; and the American cot-ton-growers must meet on the wharves of L:verpool the cotton produced by the miserably paid labor Of India and Egypt. How can they do Mis without a bounty? Art not the wheat and cotton growers good and worthy Am rican citixens? Do they not give employment to American labor? When Mr. McKinley brought his Tariff hill into the House he accompanied it with a report in which he attempted to bolster up h s sugar bounty by quoting Alexander Hamilton, and saying that “the sanction of no higher authority in American statesmanship could bo inyoked.”

A ucu uc umivto Hamilton in defense of bounties; but the quotation itself shows in plain black and white that Hamilton was ad* vocatlng bounties “to stimulate and uphold new enterprises;” they wore to be applied “to the acquisition of a new ami useful branch of industry,” and Ham 1ton's bounty was to be “a temporary expense.” Seldom has a public man ever quoted an auihority so inapfy as McKinley did in th s case; for sugar-growing is not “a new industry” under the most liberal interpretation of Hamilton's words; and to speak of the “acquisition” of. it is simply a gross misuse of the English language. Again, Hamilton speaks of a “temporary” expense for the establishment of an industry. What rght has McKinley to assume that at the end of his fifteen years' bounty the sugar-growing industry wi'l be any more able to stand on its own feet than it is to-day? It has already existed long enough to develop the necessary skill; and it is folly to hope that the bounty will have the slightest effect in developing a greater degree of s kill 4n our surar-ruaking process, or that this greater skill will be added as a permanent factor to the wealth-pro ducing capacity of the Nation. As the matter standB McKinley gives the sugar men 87,000,000 a year out of the people's taxes; but bow much that will grow to in fifteen years nobody knows. It may be twice as much or it may be ton times as much. But if the sum should even remain the same, that would mean $105,000,000 for the-fifteen years-—which is certainly an enormous sum to pay people for doipg their own private business. McKinley, however, is a champion when it comos to knocking out a surplus But he sees that the iieople are going to object tp giving awiiy this enormous sum of money; and so he fixes the donation for a period of fifteen years, hoping that thereby future Congresses can not undo his iniquitous bounty giving. Smuggling at New York. Extensive smu rgling of clothing has been detected by the Government officials in New York. The stewards, cooks and other employes of the great ocean steamers were hired to bring over the bundles of clothing, which were finally carried ashore in bundles of linen for the laundry. The thing has been going on for a long time, but the n scent seizure of a number of bundles of clothing and the arrest of several of the guilty persons will make the smugglers lie low for tlje future, and all orders for smuggled clothing Will doubtless be “declared off.” But how does it hoppen that-men find it profitable to smuggle? Have not the protectionist politicians been telling ns all along that clothes are as cheap here as in Europe? There must be some mistake about that. The smugglers are a standing proof that this is nil poppycock. The smugglers are, in their way, a capital tariff reform argument. As a matter of fact clothing cost about twice as much here as in England; and this can be proven over and over again. But McKinley himself gives the best answer to this false claim of his protection st brethren—he raises the high duty on clothing to a still higher point and tells us boldly in his tariff speech: “We want n» return to cheap times in our own country.” If clothing were tike same price here as in Europe the smuggler's occupation —and McKinley's too, for that matter— would be gone. —The treasury receives annually aboi $130,010,000 from tariff taxation.

An Excellent Way to Keep «• Wntnr Tank from Overflowing. An excellent way to control the water in a tank is the one in common use and probably not patented. A weight is attached to the faucet of Ihc tank which | is just sufficient to close it and keep it closed. A strong cord pass* s upward OTer a small pfrlley, then horizontally and down directly over the center of the tank, and is then attached .to a float. , When water is taken from the trough of course the surface falls, lowering the float. This pulls on the cord, which lifts and opens the Talve, allowing *«• 1 ter to flow into the tank. When the tank has filled sufficiently the float is raised, the cork slackI ened and the faucet closed. The • accompanying illustration will convey

NEYKK TOO H!U. the meaning si,ill more clearly. If thil is placed on the watering tank in the yard there will be less trouble about a wet yard in the summer and an icy, dangerous one in winter. A little ingenuity will devise means for dispensing with the rope or pulleys. To box in the spout and place the float directly under the cock, using one that would be closed as tbe float rose on th« water in tbe tank would be good. In a square tank the pulleys can be attached to the side of a building and so be out of the way. —Farm and Home. • Good Insectivorous ftirds.
