When a political "tnac.ino" is in r- feet order that is to sav. when a fer. managar. control "ragular" action ao that they can nominate any candidate whom they may select they look more and more for a t ich candidate. I n a Coagreaaional district, for instance, they select some person who baa no qualification whatever for a seat in Con gress, but who t. rich, and will pay great sum. luto the msit treasury. Some man is selected who ba-i made a ucky Hjieculation, mho lies grown rich by a popular too-wash, or axe grease, or a ii.itnt for bellows-mending, and who i. both flattered by the offer of the nomination and eager to draw checks or thousands of dol'ara in ono in stance aa much as sixty thousand del- am. This is the man who is sent to help make the laws. It is undeniable that tbu inventors and proprietors of tooth-washes and axle grease and impravuuents in bellows mending may be among tho best of men and the most patriotic of citizens. w-a a e.a . a nut nowevor sainuy and patriotic a blacksmith may be, thoso qualities do not fit him to adjust the aimntt of watches, or to polish the leases of tele scopes. Besides, the selection of rich men is uade,not because they are honest and patriotie, but because they are rich. "The machine" would not think of them aa candidates except for their money, and because of their willingness to give their money liberally. The transaction is a trade. The Boat in Congress is sold to the highost bidder. If the Roman emperor uuvlo his horse a con sul, the "machine" makes any ignorant quack who has amassed riches in any business, and is willing to pay, a mem ber of O ingress.

"Well, I don't care ; he's good and smart, anyhow, and I like him." "I don't ; be gets drunk !', So the convert it Ion ran on between two schoolmates who were walking juat ahead of roe. Ah, how those words, "Ho gets drun'r," kept ring ing in my ears ! Possessed of a noble manhood and a jjloriou Intellect ; blessed with the groates! and best of God's gifts ; having the love and ap probation of teachers ; admired and looked up to by a associates ; the pride and hope or a f nd father, intermined in the heart and life of a doting moth er, united in eioso and tender bonds with brothers and shters ; holding In his hand the honor and good name of the institution with which he Is con nected, of tho Noclety In which he raing.ee, and yet "gci drunk !" As a natural consequence that young nana wtm drinks will gener ally blight tho manhood that is with- In him, change to curses the blessings that are upon him, bring to the daat whatever highborn aspirations, what ever longings for greatness, glory and Immortality may be h!- ; blast tho fondest hopes of parents, put out the brightness of their future in the dark ness of disappointment, pajn and sorrow ; bring shame and reproach upon brothers and shters , trample upon the love and confidence of his fellows ; shut himself out from ail goodness, purity, usefulness and hap piness ; blot out the image of God that is stamped upon him, and drag himself down lower than the brutes. Aye, so surely does he shut himself out from Heaven, as "Its gets drunk !" IS If RK.HT t Is it right for men who profess and call themselves Christians to pray "Lead us not into temptation," and then needlessly expose them selves to tho influence of drinks which have tempted and ruined thousands Is it right for men to ask God to "Give us this day our dally bread," and then support a system which licenses men to destroy the good grain by converting It into body and soul-destroying drink Is it right to build churches, chap els and schools to help to save tne people, and at tho same time license mn and women to open shops in which liquors are sold and which will destroy the people 2 Is it right to license a man to soli drink which will make people drunk, and then fine men and women for getting drank ? Is it right for people to wish the a . a temperance cauae success, anu at tno same time continue to drinK and support the liquor traffic ? Is it right for a Sunday school teacher to teach scholars to beware of I danger8 of the pablic house with breath smelling strong of drink which comes from such places ? Is It right to admit into Christian churches, as members, liquor sellers er persons any way interested In the traffic, who, by their business, are constantly hindering the spread of the Gospel, and leading professors of religion astray Is it right to ask these questions, and if so. what answer can each reader give to them ?

WHlSTLOrO. Colly Ciber ones ia speaking of a certain parson said, that "he whistled as he went for want of thought," and since then whenever any on has puck ered their lips and ejected a shrill, musical sound, he has been accused of being thoughtless. Now, I do not be lieve this entirely. Experience teach ea me that one can whistle and think at the same time ; but, anyway, aome old maid ejaculates, "whistling is soch a nuisance, no one with good seaae ever whistles.'' "And for my pert," says another. "I had rather listen to a crow than a whistling man." Bat admitting that most whist lew. are bung lers at it, whore's the haras, anymore than for ono to thump away at a piano, or make a bow squawk on a fiddle string. Now, T will toll yon why aome people whistle, it is too keep them com pany, they do it for the same reason that some men amoks, and it is much loss harmful. Mora, it i. healthful, while tho latter is not. It expands the lung, filling them with frasbfair, help. digestion, cures dyspepsia and assists the consumptive. When yon see a person trilling a tune you may make up yoar mind that he ia not doing much fretting, or if bo has been is doing it away. As a rule it is the kind of a person who taken things easy and has a very fair disposi tion. Now, I can't imagine a Nero or a Henry the VIII whistling, and I'll wager my most valuable Christmas present that the new Senator from Ore gon nexei pocket od his lips. There are very few who really excel at this. It t. harder to leaf n than to play on an E flat horn. 1 have never known but two or three who really ex celled at it, and this city can afford one or two who can go through with a tune, and they practice on the aame piece so much that tj hear tbemt is as monot onous as to liiten to a apinning wheel. Neverthless I am in favor of tho habit on general principles. Some may call it a trivial subject, but it ia a part of life and deserves the consideration of President and boot blacks. It ia aocae thing which, like sparking, has to In learned when young. Some foolish individual once said that "whistling girls and crowing hens always come to some bad end," and ao for ages only a few hare dared to brave the jeers of the world and learn to whistle. If I were a girl I would be gin whistling as soon as I was put on i my A. B. Ce. It is just as proper for them to wind a note as a boy, and if she would, ahe wouldn't be as hollow chested as now. Were a lady to go along Frit street whistling, the eyes of our citizens woald be opened as big as an os ion, but she has the same right that the opposite sex his, and if it ware to become common the woman would be much the better at it, for her throat and mouth are peculiarly fitted for it. In conclusion I will say that Uiris Save as mark light to whistle, Asadewkejr to eat aiMstls. An J moat ut taeea who learn to do it Never see Use Jay they ru- it.
