After walking for about half an hour, Jacks again produced the bottle.\"Let us hdve some more,\u201d he said, \u201cit will warm us.\u201d .\u2018 \u201cFor heaven's sake, boys,\u201d I said, \u201cdont toke any more of that stuff, or I will have you both drunk où my hands.\u201d \u2018 \u201cOh, we'll not get drunk a night like this,\u201d.he said.\u2018Soave tramped on, the two boys every naw and then having recourse to thé fum.1 took none of it, and I ; Bnked God since that I did not.i455 end of an hour, I began to realize that I was lost.Yes, boys, lost; on thé plains with two lads, one of v-hom wis very dear to me, and both the worse of liquor.\u2018Ah, what a situation to be in! impossible, but resolved to try once more.\u2018My third trial was successful, I found him at last buried in the snow, which had blown over him; and by great exertion got him into the wood where Dan was.By this time I was very tired, and felt like throwing myself on the ground.My throat was parched, and sharp pains were shooting through my head.Both the boys were in a drunken stupor, and of no use to me.1 knew that if I stopped moving about for any length of time 1 would not be able to exert my-, self, and that we all should be frozen.(To be continued.) WITHOUT A PRECEDENT.Not every eminent and renowned character has become eminent and renowned for doing what no one else ever did or being what no one else ever was ; though thi iON Veer Spon WING: ited ; but it never .ecame.nearer Hein literally true than in the case of Mr.Gladstone.One of Napoleon Bonaparte\u2019s admirers called him \u2018a man without a model and without & shadow,\u2019 |\u2019 but Mr.Gladstone bears the palm in the 1 FOUND HIM BURIED IN THE SNQW- Which way to go I knew not.To stop was sure death.Tramp we must as long as we could: so tramp it was.I still stuck to the sled, though I knew that I would soon bave to leave it, as I could feel my strength failing.I was also very thirsty, and my throat seemed to be cracking.I stopped and buried the meat that I had on the sled, keering the skin alone.\u2018By this time I saw that the effects of the liquor was showing on Jack and Dan\u2014on Dan especially.He was finding it almost impossible to keep on his feet.He had dropped his gun in the snow, and stumbled, rather than walked, along.I got hold of him by the «rm, and foreed him to come with me.; \u201cOh, boys, if ever you get in a position like I was in that night you will know how to pity me.I was getting pearly fagged out, when, through a lift of the storm, I thought I saw a dark object in front of me.\u201c \u201cCome on, boys,\u201d I said, \u2018here is shelter.\u201d \u201cGood shelter here,\u201d said Jack, dropping in the snow.\u2018 \u201cThat looks good; guess I'll have a rest tbo\u201d mumbled Dan.\u2018*With that he let go, down also.\u2018Dragging him to his feet, I made one more effort, and by the help of Providence, I managed to reach the wood.As soon as we got a few yards among the trees they gave us good shelter.\u2018But now came my troubles.I knew that if I left Jack out m the snow he would be sure to freeze; also, that if I left my ;brother, I might not be able to find him again.Ÿ bave said my pragers with good earncst intentions sll through my life; but I think the ghort one I.said for strength and guidance that night, was the most earnest I ever offered.\u2018Seating my brother in 2 clump of underwood, I started to try and find Jack.As I left the trees, T noticed the track I had made coming in.This gave me fresh courage.I walked on till I thought that I should be near the plèce v.here he had lain down, and, then began to hunt for him.For some time I could find nothing; but, at last I struck something hard in the snow and.to my surprise.found that it was the sled with the skin on it.By this 1 Jnew that I was too far out.hut in the right direction.I went back dragging it with me.\u2018I reached the wood withont finding any trace of Jack.Skirting along the edge of it I soon found the track [ had come .out on, I then went to where ny brother lay, and, cutting the snow shoes from His feet, and, taking the skin of the mdode from the sled, T began to try if IT eould unroll it.I found that the coating of snow which had gathered on the.outside of it had kept the inside quite \u2018soft.I rolled it round ian and laid him back in the underwood.Aiter resting a while I made another effort to find Jack; but, with no better success.I was beginning to think :zhat it was and sank select roll of famous solitaires.Some patient reckonmer has compiled a fist of his \u2018onlies,\u2019 which may or may not be exhaustive.He was the only man who ever began so early a public career which continued so late ; he was the only man who was ever orator, statesman, theologian, author, litterateur and linguist, and first- rate in all ; he was the only man who ever carried a great constructive 1nea- sure of legislation (the Irish Home Rule bill of 1893) through the House of Commons after he was eighty years old ;

They won't expect me here till to-morrow, and my dear little woman will be thinking I've forgotten her.\u2019 To his surprise there was a pile of luggage in the hall.Nobody was visible, but he could hear the sound of quick footsteps and the animated opening and slutting of doors overhead.As he stood there, wondering, another pound smote on his ear\u2014a strange sound in that house.lie turned pale, his brain whirled, and he reeled against the wall.It was the cry of a little child.\u2018Pshaw !\u2019 he said, recovering himself.\u2018 The servants entertaining their friends, of course.1 shall be safe here, I suppose And opening the library door he went in.The room was brilliant with light and color.and all ahum with cheerful voices.The first face he distinguished was Mrs.Addison's, broad and beaming.She was installed in state in a great armchair by the fire, an unfamiliar white bundle in her arms.And what radiant vision was this, \u201chating towards him across the rich car- prt\u2014a vision of chiffon and lace, lifting !væhter-filled, love-lighted eves to his ?Welcome home,\u2019 said a dear, familiar ELEGTRIG WASHING FLUID How much labor it saves, how sweet and white it makes all Linens and Cottons us well as other clothing ;

left its 1mpress upon society in the most distressing and calamitous forms.The judges in our criminal courts, witnesses whose testimony must be received as absolute fact, declare with singular unanimity that three-fourths of the country's crime, with all its cost and conre- quences, is produced by intoxicants.This single indictment, painfully, terribly true, is surely more than enough in |

compared with the ruined homes, bleed- causes in social life.JYathers, husbands, sons, brothers, smitten at all stages and in all conditions of life, are drawn into the vortex of ruin by legalized tempta- ticne which a Christian civilization has hitherto so strangely tolerated, and dowering with lifelong anguish and sorrow, the innocent victims, who bear the social relations of wife, mother, sister or daughter to the ruined or lost.Must this state of things continue, qr must an earnest effort be made to end it 7 Every appliance human love and affection can devise is now and has been for
