THE PRICE OF A DRINK.

"Five cents a glass!" Does any'one think That is really the price of a drink? "Five cents a glass," I hear you say: "Why, that isn't very much to pay. Ah, no, Indeed: tin a very small ram You are pausing over 'twixt finger and thumb And If that were all yon give away It woaldnt be very much to pay. The price of a drink! Let hlm'decide Who has lost his con rage and lost his pride, And Ilea a groveling harp of clay, Not far removed from the beast to-day. The price of a drink! Let that one teil Who s-eep« to-n)ght in a murderer's cell, And feels within him the fires of hell, Honor and virtue, love and truth, All the alory and piide of youth, Hopes or manhood, the wreath of fame, High endeavor and noble aim— The#e are the treasures thrown away. As the price of a drink from day to day. "Five cent a glass!" How Satan laughed, Ah over the bar the young man gnatled The beaded liquor, for the demon knew The terrible work that drink would do And before the morning the victim lay

Willi his life-blood swiftly ebbing away And that was the price be paid, alas

For the pleasure 01 taking a toclal glass,

The price of a drink! If you want to know What some are willing to pay for it, go Through that wretched tenement over there, With dingy windows and broken stairs, Where foul disease like a

JASON'S WIDOW.

"Yea," said Mrs. Clickson, nodding her head, "Clara has married rich at last, it seems." "It can't be possible," said Miss Maurandia Clickson, who was long, thin and forty. "A snub-nosed, insignificant thing like that! What is there about Clara to attract any man?" "It is true, though," said Mrs. Clickson. "Benjamin Barton's folks have been visiting in Philadelphia, and tbey saw her out riding with her new husband with horses' harness half covered with gold plate, and purple satin cushions to the kerridge. And Miss Barton is pretty sure she saw diamonds in her

"Mrs. Montague Merrion!" breathlessly burst in Miss Lwrina Clickson. ••that's the name. And a brown-stone house and a man in black, with a silver wilver to take the visitors' cards. Mrs. Bess Barton saw it with her own eyes!"

The Clickson family looked at one another with speculative eyes. Tbey were a hard-featured, high-cheek-boned race, with opaque black eyes, thick lips like threads of damaged vermillion faces all traversed with wiinkles, and noses sharpened to a mere point.

Ihere was old Mrs. Clickson, who lived in the farmhouse and laid down the law to all the neighborhood like a female pope Mr. Clickson, who didn't count at all when his wife was by Miss Maurandia, who taught the district school, and Miss Lorina, who trimmed bonnets and Mr. and Mrs. Phllo, a stout, silent pair, who said very little and kept up a sharp eye for the main chance.

Everybody had said when Mrs. Philo Clickson first came there that she would not stay. It was boldly asserted that no one could exist under the Upas shadow oi a mother-in-law cut after old Mrs. Clickson's pattern. But Mrs. Philo had maintained her position by dent of a pachydermous stolidity, and had won the old lady's secret respect by economizing candle-ends, looking after stray crumbs of bread and counting pennies with even more parsimony than she herself was able to display. As she never said anvtblug she could not very well offend Sirs. Ebfcn Clickson, abd so all went well.

But when Jason Clikson's wife came to the old farmhouse, with a letter from the young husband who had taken to the sea and died in some far-away Italian port—n letter written on his death-bed, to commend the poor little English wife to the tender mercies of the Clickson family—*11 was different. "Married without my sanction said Mrs. Kben Clickson, severely.

Married and never asked our advice!" chorused Miss Lorina and Miss Maurandia.

Mr. and Mrs. Phllo said nothing. Thev onlv looked at one another, but their look'plainly said: We won't give up the west wing of the farmhouse, except with our life!"

Clara Clickson was a little, pale, largeeyed woman, with a startled look like a deer, and around cherry mouth, which «iuiver*d piteously when any one spoke harshly to her.

She knew nothing about housework. Never had been taught to make softsoap, could not engineer a family wash, preferred her book to her needle.

She cried a great deal when she was bv herself, which old Mrs. Clickson interpreted into a lack of resignation to the will of Heaven she brought wild flowers home, to "litter up" the place, and she was once caught giving half a slice of bread and butter to the liule girl who played the tambourine to a hand-organ man's accompaniment, at the back door.

The Clickson family, iu full parliamentary conclave.agreod that this would never do. Mrs. Kben told Clara, with characteristic delicacy, that tbey could aot be expected to maintain her in idleness, and that perhaps she had better look out for something to do.

Miss Lorina recommended advertising in a city paper for somedecent situation Miss Maurandia gave her a kind resume of all her faults and failing*, and admonished her to correct them before she expected people to tolerate her: and Mr. and Mrs. Phllo sat and stareu at her with hard, dull, gleaming eyes, as if they euioyed every ayllabe of his figurative cMsttgation.

Clara ventured on no reply. She only sat, pale and silent, with downcast eyes and trembling lips.

But the next day she left the Clickson farmhouse, and 'the family troubled themselves no more about her until the report spread itself about that Jason's widow had met with success. She had painted some pictures which command* ed a ready market, and one of the rich gentlemen who bought the landscape nail fallen in love with her and married her.

And then then the Clickson family decided. with one accord, that tbey had always set a deal of store in Clara, and now it was clearly their duty to go and jsee her. "And if 1 like the situation," said old Mrs. Clickson, "I shouldn't wondef if I

stayed all winter. My rheumatics are always better for change of air." Miss Lorina thought of the ideas in bonnet-making and cap-trimming that she could gain by daily promenades on Chestnut street. Maurandia concluded that she would abandon a quarters salary of the district school and devote herself to city society. Who knew but that there might be a Mr. Montague Merrion somewhere in store for her

Mr. and Mrs. Phild, as usual, wid nothing, but packed their hand-bag. They had long wanted a "store-carpet" and a set of bine china and now was the opportunity. Jason's widow could not charge them board, and they could stay as long as they pleasedjwithout incurring any extra expenses.

But the Clickson family would have been surprised, and not altogether have seen the ex-

pork

crawls,

With putstretcbed wings o'er the mouldy wall There poverty dwells with her hungry brood, Will! eyed as demons for lack of food There shame in a corner crouches low There violence deals its cruel blow And innocent ones are thus accurwed, To pay the price of another's thirst. "Five cents a glass!" Oh, if that were all, The fcacriflce would indeed be small, But the money's worth is the least amount We pay and whoever will keep account Will learn the terrible waste and blight That follows this terrible appetite. "Five cents a glass!" Does any one think That this is really the price of a drink?

Merrion's joint and

compound letter at the breakfast table. A breakfast table as different from the fried

and heavy bread abomina

tions of the Clickson house as possible. White French rolls, piled in a silver bssket peaches, clear coffee in egg-shell china birds broiled on toast,and eggs wrapped in damask napkins white a superb amarvlliir-in full bloom, gave the element of color, and Mr. Merrion, in a picturesque morning wrapper of cherry silk, read the newspaper, while Clara looked over her letters.

And no one would have recognized Jasons Clickson's pale little widow in this bright, blooming girl, for there is no beauufier like happiness. "Oh. Montague!" she cried, dropping her letter, "what am I to do?" "What is the matter, sweetheart inquired Mr. Merrion,calmly folding over his newspaper. "The whole Clickson f.mily!" cried Clara. "All coming to spend an indefinite period of time with us "Ah said Mr. Merrion. "Your first husband's relatives. Have you invited them?"

"Oh, no, no!" cried Clara. "Invited them, when they were so hard and cruel and inhospitable to me in my hour of need, and all but turned me out of doors fit last "Then," said Mr. Merrion, "we must treat them as wo would treat any other impertinent intruders. My little Clara shall not be tormented by a set of harpies. Just give me the letter, love I'll settle this business. Oh, by the way, I have to run out to Chestnut Hill this morning to see about the new conservatories there. But I'll send Phipps,mv lawyer, to the depot to meet them. He'll make it all right." "But, MontagUe," faltered Clara, "what shall I do if tbey descend upon me like the locusts of Egypt, and you not here "They won't come, my dear," said Mr. Merrion, shrewdly.

Nevertheless Clarf was very nervous all da}*, and could not settle peacefully to work in the exquisite little glassceiled studio, with the Venetian-red walls and ruby-velvet draperies, which her husband's affection had provided for her,for the recollection of Mrs. Clickson's, cold hard face overshadowed her like a nightmare.

The two maiden daughter's sour regards were still fresh'in her iremory,and she could not think of the stolid stupidity of Mr. and Mrs. Philo without a shudder.

The Clickson family arrived at the depot hot, dusty, crumpled, like all travelers. Miss Lorina'8 hat was crushed, Miss Mauraudia's complexion was all washed away with perspiration, Mrs. Philo had the toothache, and Philo had mislaid the key of his bag.

The o|d lady wpg cross and dictatorial, much inclined to find fault with the management of the road, and old Mr. Clickson sat all in a heap in the corner, about as amiable as an elderly hyena.

Into this cheerful family party Mr.

which bespoke your confidence before you knew ft. "Do I address Mrs. Eben Clickson said he, suavely, "You do," said the old lady, trying to straighten out her bent spectacles, upon which Mr. |Philo had sat all the way from Yellow Brook depot. "I represent Mrs. Merrion," said he, "You have no doubt heard of the sickness in the family and have come to help nurse Mr. Merrion's daughter "Eh?" said Mrs. Clickson, holding the spectacles by one joint. "He was a widower, en? With a family? Well, then, Clara haiu't done so surprisingly well arter all. But what's the matter with the young gals? I pity 'em if Jason's widow is to be their stepmother!" "The doctor hopes," said Mr. Phipps, "that it will not be anything more serir.

The!

ous than scarlet fever, at present, are

indications,

Scarlet fever!" screamed Mrs. Philo. "Husband, let's go back! We've neither of us never had it!" "It is malignant!" gasped Miss Lorina. "Why didn't Jason's widow telegraph to us?" shrieked Miss Maurandia. "She has had a great deal to occupy her mind." said Mr. Phipps, smoothly. "You perhaps haven't heard that her husband has gone away and left her?" "And cook all the money?" gasped the old woman. "It is but too probable," said Mr. Phipps. "Left her?" repeated Miss Lorina. "Humph! a grass-widow! Didn't 1 always say that Clara Clickson wouldn't come to no good "She can't expect us to countenance her," said Miss Maurandia. severely. "Ladies," said Mr. Phipps, "will I show you the way to Mr. Merrion's residence?" "Certainly not," said Mrs. Eben Clickson. "Itaint my business to countenance any woman whose husband has deserted tier. Just let her know, please, that her first husband's family are very much put out and hope she won't expect them to receive her again!" "And I think," observed Miss Maurandia, "that it is very cool of her to suppose that we will turn free nurses to her second husband's family, when we're all delicate ourselves!"

Miss Lorina made no further remark,

Philo bad already led the way for, dearly as the Clickson familv cherished the prospect of a month's sojourn in Philadelphia, hotel exactions and boarding house bills were out of the question..

Mr. Phipps watched "them until the last basket and valise had disappeared Into the car door, and returned to the landau, just outside the station, where Mrs. Montague Merrion sat. "You heard it ail?n "Every word," said Clar*, whose face -was a combination of amusement and annoyance. "But Mr. Phipps "It was quite true, wasn't it, about your husband's daughter being ill of scarlet fever?" said the lawyer. "But they are away at boarding acbooL" "Was it necessary for me to mention that?" said Mr. Phipps, demurely. "And you said my husband had left me,"

TERRE HAUTE SATURDAY EVENING MATT.

"Hasn't he?" questioned Mr. F'.upps. I CHILDREN'S CHATTER.

"But he has only gone to Cht -inut Hill to see about the buildings, Mid he will come back this evening/' pleaded Clara. "They did not ask me where he was gone, or when he would return,"^ observed Mr. Phipps.

But the main object was achieved. The visitation of the Clickson family had been warded off and when Mr. Merrion came home that evening from Chestnut Hill, with the report that the girls were getting on finely, and the conservatories almost completed, Clara met him with a radiant face. "Mr. Phipps' diplomacy has won the day," said she.

While the Clickson family, unloading their bags and trunks once more at the farmhouse door, declared, gloomi'y that

"they always knew that Jason'» \vid,ow would turn out a failure."

BURYING THE BABY. Detroit Free Press. I remember that the far-away reports of rifles roused us from sleep -u the gray of dawn, and as we stood on our feet and listened more intently we could now and then catch the echoes of an infernal war-whoop.

There were twenty of us, miners all, and we were in the foothills of the Rockies, not more than half a mue from the great Overland trail. "Boys, them sounds means a:s Injun attack and a butchery," whispticd our leader, as we listened and without another word we picked up our traps and hastened to the sjpot at a half run.

Two immigrant families, froui Indiana, who had started for the land ot gold and had separated from the train from whim or accident, had encamped in a bit of green valley beside the trail. There were thirteen souls of them, and one might wonder if the bravest among them did not shudder with fear as the night crept down and the how. of the wolf tame from the rocky hills.

The men had seen their danger, and both had set out to act as sentinels through the long night. Hour after hour had passed away without an aiarm anl just as dawn was breaking, the merciless savages, creeping along like snakes, had found one of the sentinels fast asleep. A thrust from a knife finished him so quickly that he did not even throw up his arms. Perhajps he uttered a single cry or a groan ana alarmed the other, for the second one was snot while running toward the wagons.

Then, with both men dead, came the rush upon the women and children. Only fiends could do such work as was done there, and when we came to look at it the stiongest men in the party grew white and faint. Every head but one was scalped, and no doubt the scalps had been taken while the victims lived. The bodies were hacked and gashed, hands and arms severed, brains beaten out. children flung into the camp-fire, and the spectacle was one to live in memory when all else had been forgotten.

The fiends had finished their work of butchery before we were near enough to open fire, and it was poor consolation to save the wagons. While all the bodies were yet warm, life Lad departed from each and every one. We were collecting them in a heap, to make ready for burial, when a sudden wail startled everybody. "Ow--o\v-ow-w!" cried the sound, and each man looked in the air above and on the ground below. "That 'ere noise proceeds from a baby or I'm not the father of thirteen children back in Ohio exclaimed Jackson, as he made for the nearest wagon.

He was right down beside the chest, almost smothered under the bed-quilts, was a year-old boy baby. But alas! when he was bandea out we found that he had been fatally wounded by a bullet. Jackson sat down on the grass and chirped to him and rocked him to and fro, while the rest of us looked on in wonder and doubt but in a quarter of an hour the baby was dead. Ithad gone to sleep the night before in his mother's arms, a battered old rattle-box clutched fast in his tiny hand, and he never let of it. There it was in his hand as ieath stiffened his fingers around it.

Well, there was a general breaking down when we saw that the little one

babies wear when their dreams are sweet. Old Jackson was crying like a child,and some of the men hid from each other behind the wagons. It was along time before the old man arose, laid the little body down among the prairie flowers, and huskily whispered "We'll bury him by hisself. One of them bodies out there was his mother, but as we can't tell which from which, we'll make no mistake."

There was one large grave for the mutilated remains, and when the earth had been pressed down above them and rocks rolled down to prevent the work of the wolves, we went to the center of the dell, and there, under alone pine, we hollowed out a resting place for baby. When all was ready Jackson took the body up in his arms, dropped his hat on the grass and looked around and said: "Hats off, men! We are nearer seein' angels this mornin' than any of us will ever come agin!"

Slowly, tenderly, grievJngly, the little form was laid away, and it was Jackson's coat that came off his back to cover it before the earth was filled in. Every single man in our band took the shovel by turns to fill in and round up the grave and protect it, and before we went away there was a head-board to mark the spot, and on the head-board a knife had engraved the single word: "Baby!"

IMPORTANT PROCLAMA TION. The Hon. Peter Bowe is Sheriff of the City and County of New York. Recently, in conversation with one of our reporters, Mr. Bowe proclaimed the following fact: "I consider St. Jacobs Oil an excellent remedy, and one that ought certainly to find its way into every household. Mrs. Bowe always has a bottle of it there, and makes a family remedy of it."—New York Evening Trtryram.

INSTRUCTIVE FACTS. Webster the lexicograper, defines Catarrh to be "a discharge of fluid from the mucuoaus membrane, especially of the nose, fauces, and bronchial passages, caused bv a cold in the head. It is attended wlih cough, thirst, lassitute, and watery eves." It is a disease common alike to all classes of society and sections of country. Unlike an ordinary cold, it cannot be cored by household, or family remedies, but requires an antidote from the ranks of maieria mediea. The preparation so universally known under the name of Ely's Cream Balm is a sovereign, unfailing cure for Gfttarrh. It is a neat, pleasant, yet thoroughly efficacious remedy. **i have been troubled with Catarrh so badly," writes B. F. Leipsner, A. M., of Red Bank. N. J-, "for several years that is seriously affected my voice. I tried various remedies without relief. One bottle of Ely's Cream Balm did the work. My voice is fully restored and my head feels better than for years."

"Sis, give me a lively subject for my composition!" said little Ben: and his sister Martha quietly replied: "Fleas." "How do you feel, my little man?" asked a youth of his sweetheart's small brother. The young fiend looked up at him sidewise, and, with a grin, responded: "I feel jest as if I'd like to nave a dime."

A seven-year-older, with the punster's mark on his brow, at dinner, asked his mother what was in a jar on the table, "Pickles, my son," was the reply. "Then, mamma, please pickle little one out for me," came with stunning force from the child, and the mother fell over a chair and fainted. "My mother says your father has gone into bankruptcy, said one little girl to another. "What is bankruptcy, Nellie?" "I don't know exactly," replied Nellie, "but I spects its something awful nice. Pa used to work awful hard and used to go around in his old clothes but since

A bright little, girl had a goldfish which died. She and her little Drother took the fish out to bury it with due ceremony, and after it was covered beneath the sod and a suitable headboard erected, the brother suggested that a foot-board also be put up. "No" she said, "we don't want a foot-board fish hasn't feet, brother fish has tails, we we want a tail-board."

Johnny and Tommy were playing out in the street where there was much fast driving, and where they had been forbidden to go. "Hello," said Johnny, "there comes a spanking team."

Where?" replied Tommy. "Right across the street there it's your mother and mine, and we'd better cut sticks and get out of this," which they did, and their mother after them.

A LITTLE GIRL'S PRAYER

A friend tells us this about a little girl four years old. She had been got ready for bed, and when her aunt went in the room to say good-night she found the little one saying her prayers. This is what she said: ... "Now 1 lay me down to sleep, rt I pray the Lord my soul to keep

If I should die before I wake

Here a thought struck her, and, after pausing a moment, she added: "What a rumpus there would be in this house!" She then repeated the concluding line of the prayer and scrambled into bed.
