Th , were mostly niiddle-age.i men who had h-t their families in some sea dis aster, and hail given up their citi.eu ship in the active world to deole their lives to the saving of others. When your grandmother was a girl, year- ago. it seems to me. I fell in love with her. Her people were wealthy . while mine and I were poor, and were Mrue'gling farmers. For a long time she and I enjoyed our lives in bi'.ssfu! ignoranc of the future before n. Our farms adjoined, that is. her father's and mine, and we saw each other almost lailv. I was about eighteen then, a big, bony, strong boy, accustomed to labor on the newly -cleared farm from Sim to sun. il nan uau oiu one cucct on me. 1 hail never been to the city. 3 had only a slight knowledge of the, world or societv in general. 1 could- read and write, and had often written' s-hort, painful letters to a distant brother of my father's. I had read all the books in the neighborhood, but unfortunately' for niv advancement, in other than a i spiritual way, they treated only of re ligious topics. "She was then but sixteen, a lovely- little hiss, bright blue eyes and light j hair there. Alary, uon t interrupt me: you know you were the prettiest girl in that whole county. She had been to New York with her father several times, and had spent one winter in Uoston with an aunt. But for all that she liked me. and when she found me so passionately fond of her. she really fell in love with mo, a great rough boy. 4 As I said before, not one thought of what the 'squire, her father, would say when he discovered the intimacy liad. crossed our minds. While we were wandering about in the woods Sunday afternoons, I had become quite tised to looking at her. and murmur- ing her name: I had become quite ac customed to caljing her my darling: I had eveu begun to calculate how much it would take to start s in a fanning j wav, when one day the old squire came to me :is I was plowing a big piece of com land.

It's gone to buv his familv a good .Sunday dinner, while mine can have nothing but liver. Xet week I am going to keep away from his infer nal saloon andseeifiuy folks can't have roat beef for their Sunday dinner." "Let's all try it." they said", and went out discussing the question of Sunday dinners vs. whisky. Curiosity led me to the same market at the same time the following Satur day. In came the same people; hut I noticed that every one of tho.se shop men bought a roast of beef, and great was the chuckling among them when Charley walked in with a long face, saying: "i never did see such luck as I've had this week; never had such a poor week for trade in my life; believe 1 won'tindiilge in a'roasU but will take fcoine of that Itvcr.1' All of which set me to thinking. We were near neighbors to l'eoria with its mammoth distilleries. My work took me iiiucii among me iartners: everv where among them my Temperance appeals were met with: "We don't drink, nor wish to; but if you Tem perance folks shut up the distilleries there'll be no market for our corn." I knew they were wrong, but could see no way to prove it to them, till the in cident in the meat market let in a Hood of light rpon the question. I begun to investigate. The first step was, to write to the Intrnal Kcvcnuc Commis sioner at Peoria, to see how much whisky was m:ule out of a bushel of eorn. Waiting his answer I asked Jack. Charley's son. who was a pupil of mine and my- good friend, Low manv drinks there were in a gallon of whiskv. "Well." he said, "that depends on how big the drinks are; but near as I can calculate they run about fifty to a gal lon." The commissioner replied: "I have the honor to sav that a fair aver age production of spirits from a bushel of corn for the period of one vcar is from 10 to 17 quarts-. .then I went to ligunng. Allowing each man to take but four drinks ii dav at live cents each, a low average you will allow, he would spend each day twenty cents for his whisky. In the course of the year that mounts up to over seventy dollars, or just about as much as a whole beef would cost him. bought at the market along as he needed it during the year. My house keeping experience convinced mc that a medium-sized family would consume that amount of beef in a year if. thev could get it. The next thing to figure on was the amount of corn used in making the whisky. Four drinks a day give'l.lGO a year: taking Jack's average of lifty d rinks to a gallon this calls for twenty nine and one-half gallons of whiskv, 117 quarts. To make this amount will require, according to the commis sioners ligures.no: quite seven busheLs of corn. This, mind vou. on the sup- jiosuioii mai mere is no "erooKeu- 'i rum to uiir ncg.viors or vour own bo. which their running entail-, nthcr t'l.iu to endanger vour chance to find a market for a peek of com?
