The Dollars that it Costs.

At Maine Law Meeting held in
Metropolitan Hall, New York, on the
Goth ult., p T. Balnum, the President,
made the following statement and offer:
There are over 5000 licensed grog
shops in this city, and more than 1000
unlicensed, making in all, 1000, and
probably, 5000. But calling it 1000,
and estimating that each rummery re-
ceives only $40 per day for liquor, land
a less sum than that would not pay the
rents and other expenses the amount
paid for intoxicating drinks, at retail, in
this city in one year is $25, $50, 900,
besides the immense amount paid for
wines and liquors at wholesale. The
present expenses of the whole city un-
der the administration of the most venial
and corrupt municipal government prob
ably ever known in this country includ-
ing corporation stealings and corporation
ljunketings, are not quite four millions
of dollars per annum. Now if the cor
corporation will stop rum selling for one
year, and pay the amount of money re-
ceived annually for rum at retail in this
city, will pay every dollar of the city
taxes, clean all the streets, support all
the paupers, send every child under
fourteen years of age to good school,
present every family with Libraray Of
one hundred good books, and three bar
rels of the best -four, give every female
in the city, old and young, fine silk
dress, present every male, old and
young, with good suit of broad cloth,
give every person in the city one free
ticket to the American Museum, throw
three millions of dollars to the corpora
ton by way of their usual bribes, and
yet clear to myself nett profit Of over
FIVE millions of dollars 7"

1t is usual to attempt the manage
ment of children either by corporal pun
or by rewards addressed to the
senses, and by words alone. There is
one other means of government, the
power and importance of which is sell
dom regarded. refer to the human
voice. A blow may be inflicted on
child, accompanied with words so utter
ed, as to counteract entirely its intend
ed effect, or the parent may use Ian
guage, in the correction of the child,
not objectional in itself, yet spoken in
tone which more than defeats its inAu-
ence. Let any one endeavor to recall
the image of fond mother long since at
rest in Heaven. Her sweet smile and
her ever clear countenance, are brought
vividly to recollection so also is her
voice and blessed is that parent who is
endowed with a pleasing utterance.
What is it which lulls the infant to re-
pose? 1t is not an array Of mere words.
There is no charm, to the untaught one,
in letters, syllables, and sentences. 1t
is the sound which strikes his little ear
that soothes and composes it to sleep.
A few notes, however, ,unskillfully arrang-
ed, if uttered in a soft tone, are found
to possess a magic influence. Think we
that this influence is confined to the
cradle No; it is difused over every
ago, and ceases not while the child re-
mains under the parental roof. Is the
boy growing rude in msnner, and bois-
ferrous in speech1 l know of no instru-
ment so sure to control these tendencies
as the gentle tones of mother. She
who speaks to her son barshly does but
give to his conduct the sensation of her
own ,xample. She pours oil on the al
ready raging fame. In the pressure Of
luty We are liable to utter ourselves
hastily to our children. Perhaps
threat is expressed in loud and irritat-
ng tone instead Of allaying the pas
'ions of the child, it serves directly to
nci ease them. Every fretful EXPRESS
on awakens in him the same spirit
which produces it. So does q pleasant
voice call up agreeable feelings. What
ever disposition, therefore, we would
in child, the same we should
manifest in the tone in which We address

enough to get us all we wanted. How
did he get more money, mother :"
"To kind gentleman, who helped
your father, we are indebted for these
needed comforts" replied the mother.
=" He must be good man." said the
boy. "What's his name ?"
" His name is Mr.. Edgar"
81 will ask God to bless him tonight
when say my prayers" inuocently
spoke out tho youngest Of the three
children.
What does all this mean 7" asked
the money lender, as he hastily retired
from the room he had entered.
eff you had charged me one per cent.
on my note, this scene would never have
occurred" answered the mechanic.
3" With the sum you generously saved
me, was able to buy these comforts.
My heart blesses you for the deed and
if the good wishes of my happy
family can throw sunshine across your
path, it will be full of brightness"
Too much affected to reply, Mr.. Ed.
gar returned the warm pressure of the
hand which had grasped his, and glided
away.
A CLEAN of s"nshine had indeed fallen
along the pathway of the money lender.
Home had brighter look, as he passed
his own threshold. He felt kinder and
more cheerful /; and kindness and cheer
fulncss flowed back to him from all the
inmates of his dwelling. He half won-
dered at the changed aspect worn by
everything. His dreams that night
were not of losses, fires, and the wreck
of dearly cherished hopes Tut Of the
humble home made glad by his generous
kindness. Again the happy mother, the
pleased children, and the grateful father
were now before him, and his own heart
leapcd with a new delight.
'It was small act; very light
sacrifice on my part" said Mr.. Edgar
to himself, as he walked, in a musing|
mood, towards his Office on the next
morning. "And yet, of how much
real happiness has it been the occasion
So much that portion thereof has
flowed back upon my own heart"
I" 4 good act is twice blessed" 1t
seemed as if the words were spoken
aloud, SO distinctly and suddenly were
they presented. to the mind of Mr..
Edgar.
All, if he will only heed that sugges-
ton, made by some pure spirit, brought
near to him by the stirring of good affec
tions in his mind In it lies the secret
of true happiness. Let him but act
therefrom, and the sunshine will never
be absent from his pathway.
