A BEAUTIFUL CoMPARIsoN.-We
do not wonder that the leaves and
trees, and boughs have ever been the
material whereof poets have manu-
factured comparison and imagefy,-
One of the most beautiful we ever re-
member to have seen was by DR..
Cheever. "That tree, full leaved and
swelling up into the calm, blue sum-
mer airl Not a breath is stirring,
and yet how it waves and rocks in the
sunshine.-Its shadows are hung lav-
ishly around it; birds sit and sing in
its branches; and children seek refuge
beneath them. Human affectid dns are
the leaves, the foliage Of our being
they catch every breath; and in the
burden and heat of the day they
make music and motion in the sulny
world. Stripped Of that foliage how,
how uusightly is human naturH."

ty, city, or Incorporated town in this
State, unless a majority of the quail
fed electors of such county, voting at
an election to be held before that time,
shall give their assent to the granting
or issuing of such licenses in their
county.
2. That such an election shall be
held in and throughout each and every
county sufficient length Of time be-
fore the day named in provision No.

censing power to enable the result Of

result of any preceding election may
have authorized the grant or issuance
of such license in any county, shall
again be ordered by the Chief Justicc
of such county, upon the written re-
quest of no less than fifty qualified
electors of the same; provided at least
one year shall have elapsed since sucf
preceding election.
That such further enactments may
be made in regulation of such licenses

ing provisions; and among them, tha
