did not know the strength that the sound Of
her voice. 50 calm and stcadIast, had filed
him with--as if the little thread that carried
him the hope ol life once mOrc had conveyed
to him some portion Of that faith in God.
which nothing ever destroyed or shook in her
true heart She did not know that, rs he
waited there, the words came over him ;
Why art thou cast down, q my soul and
why art thou dSquetcd within me Hope
thou in God She lifted up her heart to
God for hope and strength. She could do
nothing more for her husband, and her heart
turned to God and rested on him as on
rock.
There was n shout. He's safe, mother
he's safe, cried little Tom. Thou'st saved
ne, Mary said her husband, folding her in
his arm. But what ails thee Thou
sceme'st more sorry than glad about it,
But Mary could not speak and if the strong
arm of her husband had not held her up, she
would have fallen to the ground-the sudden
joy, after such great fcar, had overcome
her.
rom, said his father. let thy mother
lean ON thy shoulder, and we will take her
home. And in their happy home they
poured forth their thanks to God for His
great goodness and their happy life together

been in, and for the nearness that the danger
had brought them unto God And the
holiday next day-was it not indeed thanks
giving day.

The Prnhibitory Law Of New YO'k de-
rlhIch unconstitutional.

The Liquor Law of New York State, has
been passed upon by the Court Of Appeals,
the highest Court in the State They gave
their decision on Tuesday, declaring the law
unconstitutional. The Albany J,tUnal un-
derstanls that the Court decided that any
Prohibiory Law which interlcros with and
affects property olrcady m possession, is un-
constitutional and void, That the present
Law is wholly unconstitutional for the reason
that it applies to properly nor IN possession
as ,ceH as 10 that 10 be hereafter ac2uire6. but
that the Legislature hare power to pass
Prohibitory Law to apply to Liquor to be
hereafter purchased, These conclusions are
dis.cutel from by three of the eight Judges.
1t appears, then, that the prHcp's of rrohi-
bitiou is not pronounced against by this docl-
sion, but only the present statute.
The present law has been, for tho most
part, dead letter in New York State. ia
more judicious enactment which would COM
maud respect and he efficiently enforced could
succeed it, We in Vermont should be the
gamers for II large portion of the liquor
illegally sold in Soutc, at, comes from New
York State. We are sorry to learn, however,
from the y Y Times, that it is not probable
that any Prohibitory law can be passed by
the present Legislature. y stringent Excise
law has been introduced in the Assembly,
which may become a law.

An increase OF mill. and factories would he
a capital thing, they tell u., for Burlington.
But have we the advantages. natural and ar
titieinl, which will make it an Jhioct for man
uiacturer, to. establish them,, ,yo3 here :
Manufactures will be Of little permanent
service to any place where they osnn0t thrive,
and they cannot thrive every where Hare
We openings to offer which shall not be pits IN
which property may be sunk, but mines from
which money may be drawn. We think 50.
For instance the various manufactures Of wood
can hardly fail to thrive here. Burlington is
already m extensive lumber mart, and is to be
still more 50. The raw material, Of the finest
quality, can, Of course, be obtained here
cheaper than at Troy and Worcester and 9TH
er places still more distant from the primitive
forests which supply the logs. There is room
'till to spare in the big Pioneer Shop, with
power in abundance and every facility and
there is room for plenty moro mills, when
that is full. Rents are low and houses for
laborlrs are not very scarce. All to these
considerations the fact, noted elsewhere, that
the manufactured products can reach market
a. chealy from her, as from places one hun
dred ami ity miles nearer Boston, and where
can be- ter place be found for workers in
wood on Il large scale We can ensure such,
whether thcy come by the dozen or singly, a
hearty welcome, and cannot see why a gooGly
number should not make money here, Us soma
are doing now.

BUR\lVG or COvuNT GARDEN ruEATRE.--rhc
topic Of conversation, in London at least, this
week, is the repetition on " edneslay, March
9TH Of the catastrophe Of the Goth September.
lSOS, when the Covent Garden Theatre Was
destroyed by fire. This magnificent Theatre.
the finest We had, is in ruins. We have not,
however, the species of consolation which
the London Of 1905 had, in WITNESSING the
destruction Of one of its ornaments. Tue old
theatre was burned after the performance of
Il play, and the c1nAlgrntion was attributed
to an accident lcgitimatcly connected with
the business Of the stage. The play had been
Pizarro, and it was supposed that TIE WId-
ding # some Of the guns fired at John h.uble
(when, as Roid, he saved tho chlld) had
lodged in the scenery, This wa, an accii mt,
but it could not be called one for which any,
body WAS to blame But Smirke's building
has fallen dSgracclully. \ quack benefit,
protractcd throughout the day-BIrtholo-
new Fair iashion-was followed hy the dull
folly, and later by the yul str de'uuchery, Of
Il masked ball Whether chandelier, over
heated by being kept burning un cnormou-
time fired the place, or whether some OF the
vulslriaus, who remained drinking and slo'',-
ing (Enslish notions Of a bal D,asYIO until u
late hour, did the mischief, was NJ first in
doubt, hat the former cause seems now 10 he
recognized as that which led to the lament
able result. Bat, in any case, Coyent Nlrl'n
Theatre has fallen the victim to low G.Nice
for attracting crowcd and dlsgu tlrg
reyel incidents of which may he gathered
from Thursdays pOlice-reports) ends the
history Of the most beautiful sale in London
and, indeed, of Coyent Garden Theatre for
we can hardly imagine that it will be- rebuilt.
