Lemonade.

Being invited by friend one morning To ioin
him in glass of iced lemonade with 81 eht
cooring of claret in it, we were reminded CT a
scene, which tradition says once occurred at a
certain hotel in Newport, X. l., during long
continued cheated term" The story has been
told before, but will bear repitition.
Among The guests at the Ocean House was
tall sim-faced Quaker. who professed an utter
abomnation for all liquors of intoxicating ma
iurc. STILL deep purple tint upon the worthy
genleman's nose rather belied his cold water
preteniions.
1t was very morning, aud the great
bar-room was nearly deserted by It's usual habi-
tnes, who were either rolling on the surf or in
dulgng in sweet slumber. The bar k eper had
IA keen, bright-eyed lad, rather short in stature
but remarkably smart Now, while he was
greatly enjoying a weed with his feet elevat-
ed on the back of The chair in Young America
style, the tall quaker solemnly stalked into the
room, and having looked sharply around for
moment, advanced 10 the bar. Then and there
ensued the following dialogue:
Quaker-"Boy dost thee make lemonade
herel"
Boy (prompty)-"Yes sir"
Quaker-"I will take glass;
In brief space the lemonade devised,
but just the finishing touches were being Civ
en-, the broad brimmed gentleman asked:
Hast thee any good brandy?"
Boy-"Lots of it,
Quaker-"Pour in Till tell thee to stop"
The boy poured slowly.
Quaker-"Hold! Hast thee any Santa Cruz
ruml"
Boy-"Yes sir ee.''
Qaaker-"Pour in a little
The tumbler filled with Santa Cruz, and
the mixture stirred, made ready, and handed 10
broad brim. Slowly and with great satisfaction
did he imbibe the luscious compound: even TO
the last drop. and then with great gravity he de-
posted a shilling upon the counter, and turned
away. He made three steps toward the door,
when, evidently impressed with deep sense
that he had neglected imperative duty he
turned, and with great emotion said to the ju-
venile bar-keeper-'Friend thou art a small
boy. but thee makes great lemonade. ."-and
straightway he departed.
Somewhat astonished was the bar tender. He
looked after the rereating form of his customer
for instant and then remarked, rather con-
temptuously; lemonade! well that is good
should call it Punch and id strong too ~
After that, Quaker lemonade became po-
pular drink at the Ocean House, for the story
got out, much TO the discontinue of the worthy
temperance man.

In New Orleans, recently, Daniel Williams,
an estimable young man, by profession an en-
erayer. committed suicide by taking laudanum
The desperate act was the result of grief for the
loss of his wife, made morbid by the drauehts IN
which he vainly endeavored TO drown 1t. Death
robbed him of his loved one about three weeks
previously, sorrow settled upon him deeply, and
at last he sought soace in the demon. strong
drink-for a week previous TO his death drink
ing so freely as TO incapacitate him from work.
After having taken the laudanum he submitted
TO series of attempts made TO get IT out OF him,
but these were unsuccessful. His landlady adj
ministered warm milk sweet oil, mustard and
even fsgeliation, in the hopes OF saving him
but all in vain. The doctor who had been sent
for never came. and in two hours after swallow
ing the fatal drug. the young man was corpse.
He seems TO have repened of his act at one
time. for he willingly took the antidotes ohert d

claimed 1t is too lae-too late! Mary, do ar,

by the deceased was the following poetic efiu-

New HoLiDAY A new National Holiday has
been proposed by the Pennsylvania Historical
Society; and in view of the fact that no people
have fewer landmarks OF this character than
Americans, are fully committed to this pro-
ject. The new holiday is proposed to be held
on the anniversary of the day on which the Con-
stitution of the United States was formally pro-
claimed as adopted. 1t appears from the journ-
ais Of the Congress- of Confederation, that res
olution passed that body ON the 18th of Septem-
ber, 1888. officially announcing that the Consli-
tuition had been ratified by sufficient number
of States 10 carry il into effect; and the resolu-
tion also fixed the day to commence proceedings
under the Constitution 1t is therefore proposed
that the 18th of September be annually set apart
