Stay. mortal, stay, nor needless thus
Thy sure destruction seal:
Within that cup there turks q curse
Which oil who drink must feel:
Disease and death, ferever.nigh,
Stand ready at the door,
And eager wait to hear the cry
Of"give me one glass more"
Go, view that prisons gloomy cells,
Their pallid tenants scan;
Gaze, gaze npon these earthly hells,
And ask how they began.
Had these a tongue, O. man, thy cheek k.
The tale would crimson o'er;-
Had these q tongue, to thee they'd speak,
And answer, "one glass more"
Behold that wretched female form,
An outcast from her home,
Bleached in affliction's blighting storm,
And doomed in want to roam:
Behold her! Ask that prattler dear,
Why mother is so poor; =
She'll whisper IN thy startled ear,
"'Twas fathers one glass more"
Stay, mortal, stay, repent, return;
Reflect upon thy fate;
The poisonous draught indignant spurn-
Spurn, spurn 1t, ere too late.
Oh, fly the ale-house' horrid din,
Nor hnger near the door,
Lest thou, perchance, should sip again
The treacherous zone glass more"

How TO PLANT TREES AND SHRUBS
Young trees and shrubs-such as rose bush
es-if received from distant nursery and
appear dry and withered, should be treated
as follows: Dig trencch in the ground just
as long as the trees or shrubs and roots, aud
lay them down in this cover with little
dirt, pour on pail of water, and then cover
all over with six inches of earth. In forty
eight hours the buds will be swelled out full,
and you can then plant them out. This was
the method recommended by the lamented
Downing, aud We have found it to succeed

Big SroR1Es.-A lot of young fellows
were trying their skill at telling stories few
days ago. Among the numerous stories told
on the occasion were the following hard
ones:
Bill said -
know tree that seven men chopped at
for seven weeks, aud then they took notion
to 90 round and look at the ether slde.-
They travelled four days and then come to
party of forty who had been chopping it for
four months and it was not cut half through
yet!
Tom said
remember that, well. 1t was an oak
tree and five million hogs were fattened year
" on the acorns that fell from it,
Joe said
The tree was afterwards cut down and
five hundred saw-mlls have been built with
the lumber it produced. The chips made
in cutting it down, when closely heaped,
measured four million cords and have sup
piled two furnaces with charcoal for the last
two years!
Jack said
Deacon Brown afterwards, dug out the
stump and turned the place into pasture
field. He kept so many COWS on it that he
made million pounds of butter and nearly
as much cheese every year
Now comes Stick.in-the-mud's turn. He
drew himself up and said
Wal, dunno how many pounds of butter
and cheese Deacon Brown makes yearly, but
7 do know that be runs the FIVE hundred
saw.mills Joe mentioned by butter-milk

pa There is just as much intemperance
in drinking physic as drinking anything else.
1t is great pity there is no Maine Liquor
Law for medicine! The first time quack
feels your pulse may be an accident but the
second time should be repulse. No man
ruins his health without bringing the conse-
quences down upon himself Like Samson, he
destroys the temple, and buries himself in
the ruins.

A Soft PLAcE-I was down to see the

she gave me back-bones for dinner. Iwent

and laughed, and chatted and run on, she 60

graciously to back-bones. Now I thought
that Tim rather favorable. took it as a
symptom of personal appreciation, because
every body knows love back-bones, and [
hattered myself she had cooked them on purr-
pose for ME. So I grew particularly cheer
full, and thought could see it in her too
So after dinner, while sitting close beside
the widow, fancied We both felt sorter COM
Portable, LIKE know I did. | felt that |
had fallen over head and ears and heart in
love with her, and imagined, from the way
she looked, she had fallen teeth and toe-nails
in love with me. She appeared just for all
the world like she thought it was a coming,
that was a-going to court her. Presently,
couldn't help it, I laid my hand softly on
her beautiful shoulder, and I remarked,
when I had placed it there, in my blandest
tones, Tim, for I tried to throw my whole
soul into the expression, I remarked then,
with my eyes pouring love, truth, and hdeli-
ty right into her, Widow, this is the incest,
sottest place, 1 ever had my hand in all my
life
Looking benevolently at me, and at the
same time flushing up a little, she said, in
melting and winning tones doctor, give me
your hand, and I'll put it on much softer
place
sIn moment, in rapture, l consented,
and taking my hand, she gently, very gently,
Tim, and quietly laid it on my hoad-and
burst into laugh that's ringing in my ears
yet
Now Tim, l haven't told this to living
soul but you, and, by jinks! you mustn't;
but couldn't hold it any longer, so tell
you; but mind, it mustn't go any further

Benicia, California, had with him a body
servant, slave, named Joe. One morning
the captain was startled by the news of Joe's

New York free niggers. He Suited me, and

par The alNilton Chronicle" says, 'ip
view of he>mean, unclean and poisoned staff
nowadays retailed to topers by the Grog-
shops, we suggest lunatic asylum for every
"jeicery"'
There must be some villainy in the pot of
those who compound strong drinks. We have
heard more complaints lately of "bad liquor
than ever before. The most hardened topers
cannot ego it, without making wry face
and uttering,maledictions upon the Vilhinous
compounds. There is something wrong, and
it probably is owing to the high price of
grain, which prompts the distillers to use
chuck eye" enough to "give it a bead with
out much spirit, and the high price of the
liquor induces the retailer to further adulter-
ate by adding soap and tobacco and other
more dangerous ingredients. We have been
credibly informed that certain pinch penny
retailer is in the habit of using drugs to keep
up the appearance of his whiskey even when
amalgamated with half water.
That there will be more diseases, and even
insanity, resulting from the use Of such pol
sonous compounds than formerly when liq-
uors were plenty, pure and cheap, there can
be doubt but to attach an asylum to every
"iuicery" would be involving the State in a
debt under which she would groan in tribu-
lation.-Spirh OF the Age.

YOUNG MEN, BEWARE Mr.. Potter, OF
Yale College, in a temperance address
lately at New Haven, says: "My heart
bleeds as I remember the fate of three OF
my early companions who started in life with
myself. One of them possessed the finest
mathematical mind I ever knew. He would
take the ledger aud go up with three COL
umns at time with perfect ease. He was
the first man in America that beat the au-
tomaton chess player, and he told methat be
had every move in his head before he entered
the room. That man filled drunkard's s
grave. Another, whSwas an excellent ac-
countant, and could command almost any sal
ary, met the same melancholy fate. Ano-
ther, possessing the same brilliant capabili-
ties, has gone down-not to the grave, per-
haps, but is sunk clear out of sig ht amid the
mire and filth of intemperance.

USE OF PoIsoNs IN THE MANUFACTURE
OF L1oUoRs.-The injurious effects of this
practice are becoming daily more apparent,
and the evidence that the people are thus
being poisoned by thousands, is accumula-
ting with q truly alarming rapidity. 1t was
formerly supposed that poisonous drugs were
used only in the manufacture Of brandies,
wines, &C., but is is now discovered that the
most virulent poisons are used in the process
of distilling.
GA few evenings SINCE" says city paper
of recent date, ga woman was found in
retired part of Western Row in state OF
helpless intoxication, with an infant babe
clingiug to the breast of its degraded parent:
In reply to questions asked her, she stated
that she drank two or three glasses of whls-
key, when she became oblivious to all that
passed, until she awoke to consciousness
within the cell Of the watch-house This
plea of entire forgctfulness after drinking a
few glasses of liquor, is becoming very COM
mon, which no doubt arises from the fact
that strychnine, arsenic, and other poisonous
substances are used in manufacturing whls-
key Crusader.
