The most ingenious attempts are con-
,inualIy made to evade the operation of
the famous Maine Liquor Law, and It
requires the utmost vigilance on the part
of the officers Of justice to thwart these
devices Of the rum.loving transgressors.
The last dodge we have heard OF Was the
filling Of coffin with bottles Of liqnor,
which was taken to Portland. 1t was
supposed, of course, that no one would
rhink Of examining coffin to find the
ardent. However, the sharp eyes of the
officers detected The fraud, aud the liquor
was con6scated. A wag, who saw the
operation, remarked tina, contrary to the
usual course of things, the coffin in this
case contained, not the body but the
spirit. A down.east paper states that a
famous liquor dealer has put up it quart
bottles a vast quantity of pure Holland
gin. These bottles are labelled with the
name of some wonder medicine which is
advertised in all the ne wspapers as cure
for all diseases. The knowing ones

with it's bright sunlight, ,s green grass
its bursting buds, and the carol of Its birds
but to some it speaks a ''voice of sadness" t
whom these lines Of BRYANT will come wit
mournful expression:

On new leaved woods and lawns between;
But she who, with smile more bright,
Welcomed and watched the sprnging green,
Is in her grave. .r

The fair white blossoms of the wood
In groups beside the pathway stand;
But one, the gentle aud the good

The small birds. mingled notes nre flung;
But she Whose voice ,1iIbre sweet than theirs +
Once babe me listen while they sung,

Brings tears of anguish to my eyes:

the loves Of Antony and Cleopatra in .
manner which the lovers of the romantic

"The loves of Antony and Cleopatra
form familiar page in the romance oI
history. But sober analysis Of such
famous romances has generally revealed
a dark shade of unruly passion on one
side, and of vanity and selcinterest on
the other. Antonius was the dupe of his

TIE HERALDRY OF THE UNIVERSE
Here is a fine paragraph from the last
number of the Westminster Repiew:-
Were man only the choicest, most in
telligen', most eregarious of the man.
naIa--were the theory OF his affairs q
mere extension Of natural history-we
might reasonably discuss, in Aristotle's
way, the conditions under which he NAV
fifty be put in harness. But there is in him
an element that takes him beyond the
range of Pliny or a Cuvier, that lifts
him on. 10 the kingdom Of nature, and
gives him kindred with the preternatural
and divine. He is not simply an instru-
ment for achieving given fraction of a
universal ,but has a sacred trust which,
on its own account, he is empowered and
commissioned to discharge. He is
watched by tho eyes ofinfni'e pity and
affection, braced for his faithful work,
s,lccoured in his fierce temptations.
The conditions ofdutiful, loving. noble
life mus, be preserved TO him. Let his
task. indeed, be situated to his powers;
and if he canno, rule. by all the means
let him serve, but still with a margin and
play of spiritual freedom secure from en-
croachment and contempt Those or
whom heaven lays the burihen of duty
no power on earth may strip OF rights
The conscience with which the Highest
can commune. the spiri, which is not too
mean for His abode, can be no object Of
light and scorn from men. By law and
usage you may have the disposal OF
another s lot anil labor; but, in the reality
of things, the lord of a province may be
less than the conqueror of a temptation.
You may be a Greek, and he barbarian; /;
but, in The hcraldry of the universe. the
blood of Agamemnon is less noble
than the spirit Of saint. In thus
sna,ching the individual, as bearer of a
holy trust. from the crush Of nature and
the world, Christianity became the first
human relision-ih that absolutely took no
notice of race, and sex, and class. Ii cre-
sted new order of inalienable rights,
neither the heritage of birth, nor the
franchise of State, but inherent in the
moral capabilities of man. The free
opening Of sancti,y and immortality to
every willing heart could not fail to exer-
tise an intense Influence on the better
portion of world, like the declining en-

A COttager's Lament.

An English laborer, whose child wa
suddenly killed, by the falling of beam
wrote ,be following lines, suggested BY
the melancholy event. They are touch
ingly beautiful:
Sweet, laughing child!--the cottage door
Stands free and open now,
But oh! It's sunshine gilds no more
The gudness OF thy brow!
Thy merry step hath passed away;
Thy laughing sport is hushed for aye.
Thy mother by the fresde sits,
And listens for thy call,
And slowly-sowly, as she knts,
Her quiet tears downfall:
Her little hindering thing is gone;
And undisturbed she may work on!
