Warrington, Secretary, Successful Saloon Keeper I'eck'8 Sun, Well to be a successful one you have got to have ability enough to be a suc-csssful lawyer, doctor or ineachant. The men who are successful as saloon keepers have ability, which, turned in an other direction, would have made them successful in any other calling, and they hate themselves when they think of the lost opportunities, and they almost hate the wealth that has come to them through the mouth of a whisky bottle. A man who keeps a successful saloon and makes money, does not realize what a mean business it is until he lias a family of nice children grown up. He has money, furnishes them with a nice home, educates them and is proud of them, and knows that bis girls are as beautiful and accomplished as those of the best citizens of the community, and knows that they are worthy to marry the best men of the state or country. The first that lie notices is that the young ladies of his household are ashamed of themselves.

They try not to show it to the father who has been the children together, and the entire pieformaiices were carried out. After the close of the children's part of tho programme Hev. W. L. Camion ad dressed tho little ones ami their parents from a very appropriate subject, "Train up a child in the way ho should go and when he Is old he will not depart from it." His remarks were pithy and to the point and very instructive in the manner in which a child should bo reared, especially from a religious stand point.

He declaimed vigorously against the present thoughtless and injudicious course which is pursued Cy so many parents in the cultivation of the re ligious part of their children's education, and advocated the strict disciplining of our youth to more religious belief from their infancy up. Ills efforts appeared to be very philanthropic, and his well-timed remarks, it is hoped, will have a beneficial effect on all who had the pleasure of hearing him. They were then dismissed with the benediction and the children returned to their homes filled with pleasant memories which they will long cherish. Circus, Pullman, Mack circus has come and gone, and the small boy has been made happy; and, for the next month, he will bo constructing springboards and horizontal bars, for the avowed purpose of practicing tumbling and vaulting, that he one day, may be a circus performer himself. In a few weeks the small boy will become tired and weary of trying to stretch his backbone to such an extent that he may throw his heels back aud kick his head, like Mr.

Fred Hall, and will turn his attention to "hooking" apples and grapes, and gathering his winter sup ply of walnuts. But nothing wilfr keep him from the circus next year, and, if he is much like his ancestors, for many years to come. It is strange but nevertheless a fact, that the old man of seventy watches just as eagerly, for the coming of the annual tour of the big white tents, as his little "kid" of a grandson; and his laugh is just as hearty and he enjoys the jokes of the clown quite as well as he did sixty years ago, when he walked live miles to town and carried water to the elephant for admission. We know of an old man of three score years and ten who would just as soon think of neglectiug to put in his corn crop as miss going to the circus, but he's ashamed of his weakness, and makes an excuse for going every time. For many years he thought his little children would feel so badly if they didn't get to go, and he used to "go 'long to take care of 'em." But they are grown up men aud women uow, and have little children of their own, and tho old man now has always very important business at town which must be looked after on the day of the circus, when, at nigiit, tne old man returns, and looks "sneaking and ashamed like," and the saving old mother says, "Pap, I think you've lots of money, to go to a fool show!" He always says, "I fell in with Mack and Tom, and they wanted me to go in with them, and I couldn't Very well refuse;" tnd the boys will wink and the old lady will sigh and go off to bed.

George Metcalf, who used to keep the restaurant now called the Delmon-ico, and run at present by Mr. Preston, was killed at Bradbury's camp, in Wyoming Territory, about two weeks ago. Metcalf was engaged in cooking for the camp when a drunken fellow by the name of Malouey came to the camp, an altercation ensued, and Malouey without any provocation drew a large 12-ince 44-calibre navy revolver and began firing at Metcalf while standing within six feet of him.

The ball entered the abdomen and passed out or was taken out near the spine, passing obliquely through the intestines. He died the next day, the 18th of May. Malouey was hung to a cottonwood tree and Metcalf's body was sent to Cheyenne. Hmnalpolis Mcsscwjcr. A bull, endeavoring: to escape from a lion, fled into a cave, which he found occupied by a he-goat.

The cave not being large enough for both, the he-goat butted the bull with impunity, and made alf kinds of insulting remarks. The bull became very much exasperated at the conduct of the goat, but reasoned with himself thus: "It is much better for me to be butted inside of the party by a miserable goat, than to go outside of the cave and be gobbled up by a roaring lion that is seeking to devour me, hoofs, horns, hide and all." We hardly need explain tooui readers that the bull is the democratic party, which is closely pursued by the republican lion. The bull seeks refuge in a New York cave, already tenanted by John Kelly, whose butting propensities are so well known to the party. It is better that John should be permitted to butt the time-honored party than that it should emerge from the cave to be gobbled up by the hungry radical lion. Texas Siflinys.

Daniel Ernsbarger. Children's Day. Last Sabbath was "Children's Day" at the M. E. church, and it will long be cherished in the memory of the many little folks who participated in the interesting exercises of that day.

The exercises commenced at 11 o'clock a.m., under the guidance and leadership of W. II. Clendinen, superintendent of the school. The exercises consisted principally of recitations and renditions of vocal and instrumental music by the every one executed the respective part assigned him in a manner which reflected great credit upon himself and his instructor. The school was addressed by Mr.

B-. F. Billingsley, who delivered a very eloquent address relative to the Sunday school and its elevating influences on the young. Owing to the length of the prigiamme, the exercises were notcom- 1 I .....1 r.f so kind to them, but they cannot al ways disguise the fact that they do not receive attention from desirable ac quaintances. They are qualified by na ture and education to go into the best of society, but the sign over the door of the father's place of business is what is the matter.

If such a srirl is Invited into the best society, she is liable to have her heart broken by some one ask ing who the beautiful girl is, and hear ing the answer, "Why, her father keeps a saloon iwn town somewhere." The father may be square and honest, and have friends among the best men of his city, aud he may think he is happy, but when he sees that his beautiful daughter is being snubbed on account of the business he is engaged in, he gets to hate himself. If a bartender should aspire to the hand of that daughter, the father would be indignant. If a gambler that frequents his saloon should want to marry the girl ho would kick terribly. If a rich young drunkard and spendthrift should ask for her hand, he would be sorry, and yet those three are the classes that would be most liable to look for an alliance with the saloon keeper's daughter, while she would be worthy of tho hand of a trovernor. It is when these things come lap before the eyes of a successful saloon keeper that he would give every dollar he has acquired if lie had entered almost any other business on earth.

There is nothing redeeming about the business, except that many saloon keepers are open-hearted, generous, humane, char itable, and good friends to their friends. They are so because it is natural, and in any other business they would be the same, or moie So. No, young man, if there is any Wood to saw in your vicinity, if there is a crop of peanuts that can be baked and sold, a job to be secured driving a pair of blind mules hauling the dirtiest load that can be found, if you can control the capital to buy a box of blackning and a brush, go into the peanut trade, drive the mules, or black boots, or anything, for a startef, but don't for God's sake, open a saloon, and confine the talent God has given you, to the base use of pulling a squeaky cork out of a bottle of mm, because every squeak of the cork is a wail of a soul that has been drowned in drink, every gurgle of the liquid as it goes from the bottle to the glas3, is the throbbing of a poor brain that has been crazed by the hellisji stuff, and every stroke of the dirty dishcloth on the bar, to wipe away the stains of the spilled hell-fire, is an emblem of attempts to wipe the sina from the soul of the man who kills his brother by making bind a drunkard.
