Th etxercisaa xvere somewhat disturbed by a drunk en man that wandered in and found a seat near the door; the minister said "he ought to be in jail but wo do not think so, mime instinct of his ticjr, crazy brain brought him to church; we liavv seeu him in church before. IT we mistake not he is the same man that higned the pledge txvo yeara ago, and went about our streets for a brief period, clean, sober and in his tight mind. Who is responsible for his fall? After the first few sveeks did our tem perance men keep the 8huh watch over, and care for him as at first ? Was he not p rmitted to drift back without it hand stretched out to save him from the dreadful fate which is surely overtaking him? Wo have had many words tjf coun sel and encouragement this pa&JL xveek; many prayers have been offered and some new plans and resolutions formed in regard to this temppranuB woik. We do uot believe in an ostentatious xvay of working, for more good can be done by a quiet word dropped here and there; often if xve bail the cour age to Fpenk il, a timely wwd to a young mai! entering a s,t!onn door, would cause him (o turn aw:iv and he would be ttafe for that time :t least. Lots 0 our boys go into the saloons because I hey are loiiesxtiie; the even ings are Ion.'. Mw saloons are pleasant, and they drop in for warmth and companionship; they wouldn't be like that fellow that made a disturbance in church for anything ; oh, 110! they never could fall so loxv as th:.f; but boys von will; don't go iu there. There's a circulating library in town, go pay l en cents and f?et you a good book, and put in your evenings read ing; you'll be sure to be on the safe side, (io to church, not to ptss away the time, but to listen to the sermon, and join in the service. How many of our loys have outgrown Che Sun day school; plenty of them that think they have: but if six or eight would form themselves in a class for the purpose of studying the Rifcle, they would find lots to learn and a gofd help. Don't let any false shame ktep you from trying to make good, pure, cheery, bright young men. Throw away tobacco, you .don't need it, you ace better off without it ; don't go in to saloons, be above the company you will Qnd there; give over the patron age of those places to those old topers who will soon drink themselves into oblivion. Temperance workers, we need not be disheartened. Temperance is be coming fashionable perhaps this will reacli some to whom the right is noth ing, if it is not popular. We saw in a paper a few days ago that on New Years day in Nexv York City houses where wine was offered to- callers, were exceptions, and was con lined to the pseudo-aristocracy or shoddy ele ment to attract a certain class of cal lers. Isn't that nice? No wine of fered to callers on New Years day! That shows which way public senti ment is tending, and if xve work on and keep up courage, our ranks will be reinforced, and we wilr- count among our numbers many more brave men and women, who are not afraid to look for the tight and the good of their fellow men. Testimony of John (. Adams. "In my early youth I was addicted to the use f tobacco in two of its mysteries smoking nd claewing. I was warned by a medical friend of the pernicious operation of this habit upon the stomach and the nerves, and the advice of the physician was forti fied by the results of my own expeii ence. More than thirty years have passed away since I deliberately re nounced ill? use of tobacco in all its forms; and although the resolution was not carried into execution xx ithout a struggle of vitiated nature, I never yielded to its impulses; and in the space of three or four months of self- denial, i hey lost their stiroQlatiug power, and I haTe ntYVi since " felt it as a privation. I have often wished that every individual of the human race arllicled with this artificial pas sion, could prevail upon himself to try but for three months the experi ment which I have made, feeling sure that it wouul turn every acre of to bacco land into a wheat field, and add five yeajs of longevity tti the average of human life. The Tobacco Appetite Often Heredi tury. One of the most alarming facts is the hereditary influence of this it. dulfer.ee. The evil effects of this habit are sometimes scarcely seen in the parent, but are manifest in the children. Not only the appetite, but the disease aud physical weakness are transmitted to the onildren. Tins fact, well authenticated, should waken thoughtful consideration on the- part of parent who are addicted u this useless habit. A Word an the Tobacco Quasi in. Does it pay to smoke?

While lhi sentence of death pro nounced on A raid Pasha has not been enforced, his trial, which took place on December ;;d, and had a certain historic interest, and we therefore il lustrate the scene. The president be gan the proceedings by reading the charge of rebellion, and asked Arabi whether he plead vl guilty or not guil ty. In reply, Mr. Hroadley arose ana tendered a written plea to the judge as follows: "Of my oxvn free xVill and by the advice of my counsel, I plead guilty to the charges now read ovv o me.' The Court then retired to con sider its decision, and submit it for approval to the Khedive. I'pon the reassembling of the Court, Arabi re mained standing in the dock, the clerk of the court pronounced the sentence that of death for "the crime of re bellion against Ilia Highness the Khe dive." Immediately after this had been read the president presented a decree of the Khedive commuting the death sentence "to perpetual exile from Egypt and its dependencies. This pardon will be of no effect, and the said Ahmed Arabi will be liable to penalty of death if he enters Egypt or its dependencies." The Court then rose, and Arabi salaamed, and was conducted to his ceH. Thus the great trial xvhich had been looked forward to as likely to bring forth sr me of the most curious revelations iii modern Oriental history, took less than an hour. Frank Leslie.

Chicago Tribune. About Itailroatl Passes. Rut Huston Hawkrye. Some papers and people are finding fault with the recent publication of the list of dead beats xvho received passes from railroads, and were mean enough to sell them. "We think that there is no puiiisraent too great for men so void of chajacter that they will convert a favor or a compliment into cash. The black list ought to re-' ct ive the w idest possible publication. Ai.d by the way, while on the sub ject of railroad passes, we totice that the Nebraska people are i gainftter-a law which is to forbid public officers and legislators to receive passes from the roads, under the assumption :4b at this will prejudice them in favoiof the corporation xvlicse compliments they lcccive. What little men they must elect for public positions in that state, or rather, to put the matter more justly, what a little beggarly xvay of judging their fellow men these people must havo who raise the outcry against railroad passes. Th ere is something very mean in the supposition that men who are sup posed to be gentlemen, as public of ficers, could be induced by the favor of a free ride to betray the public. The opponents of the passes had better be lieve that no man of any size cai. be influenced by gratuitous transporto tion ; if he could be, why, the peo ple ought to know him well enough not to elect him. As a rule, the fel lows xvho cry out loudest against such favors are the ones who ask for them first. Banqueting- on Hats. Philadelphia Press.
