Drunkenness.

When this loath some vice has taken fast
hold of man, farewell industry, farewell
emulation, farewell everything worthy OF
attention, farewell love of virtuous society,
farewell decency of manners, and farewell,
too, even an attention to person every
thing is sunk by this predominant and bru-
tai appetite. In how many instances do
we see men who have begun life with the
brightest prospects before them; and who
have closed it without one ray of comfort
or consolation Young men, with good
fortunes, good talents, good tempers, good
hearts, and sound constitutions, only by
being drawn into the vortex of the drunk
ard, have become by degrees the most
loathsome and despicable of mankind. In
the house of the drunkard there is no hap
piness for any one. AL is uncertainty and
anxiety. He is not the same man for one
day at time. No one knows of his out
goings OF his incoming. When he will
rise, or when he will lie down to rest is
wholly matter of chance. That which
he swallows for what he calls pleasure brings
pain. as surely as the night brings morn
ing. Poverty and misery are in the train.
To avoid these results we are called upon
to make no sacrifice. Abstinence requires
no aid to accomplish it. Our own will is
all that is requisite; and if we have not the
will to avoid contempt, disgrace and mis-
cry, We deserve neither relief nor compass

Pretty stanzas.

Leaf by leaf the roses fall,
Drop by drop the springs run dry;
One by one, beyond recall,
Summer beauties fade and die;
But the roses bloom again,
And the spring will gush anew,
In the pleasant April rain,
And the summer sun and dew.
So. in hours of deepest gloom.
When the springs of gladness fail,
And the roses in their bloom,
Droop like maidens wan and pale;
We shall find some hope that lies
Like silent gem apart,
Hidden far from careless eyes
In the garden of the heart.
Some sweet hope to gladness wed,
That will spring afresh and new,
When grief's winter shall have fled,
Giving place to rain and dew
Some sweet hope that breathes.of spring,
Through the weary, weary time,
Budding for its poisoning,
In the spirits glorious cline.

Illustration of Law.

A good story was rife in our city lately,
which serves to illustrate that possession
is nine points flaw" A. is rather sharp
lawyer, and resides next door to B. The
houses A. and B. occupy are similar in ap-
pearance, and as they adjoin, are easily mis-
taken by a comparative stranger. B. being
out of coal, walks to the coal market, pur-
chased load for $3, 80, and sends it home.
The man of whom he purchased, mistakes
the residence of A. for that of B., and
dumps the C, al in AS yard. The lawyers
man sees the coal in the yard, and gets a
wheelbarrow and shovel and puts it into
the cellar. B. is in '.peck of trouble
that his coal does not come, and goes out to
find the man from whom he bought it.
''See here, my country friend, I bought
load of coal of you, and you have not de-
livered it, says he as soon as he had found
the collier.
you bought The load and paid for it,
and delivered it," said the coal dealer.
Here the thought struck B., that he saw
coal in his neighbours (the lawyer's) yard,
and Immediately OWNED the mystery. He
starts for the lawyers Office, and finding
him, thus accosted him -
''Mr. A, suppose you should buy load
of coal, and the man should put it in the
wrong yard, what would you require of the
gentleman who appropriated the coal ?''
"Well, sir, said the lawyer, II should
either make him return the coal or pay the
amount paid for the load
every well, >" said Mr.. B. '.just give me
So 30"
The lawyer gently drew thirty cents from
his pocket and handed it to B.
''What does this mean, Mr.. \? You
owe me 50 MORE" said the astonished B.
"Not at ALL" said the lawyer; Il charge
So for my advice %

Why Salt Lake is Salt.

Mr.. Greeley writes as to the cause of the
sadness of Salt Lake, thus:
"That this lake should be salt, is no
anomaly. All large bodies of water into
which streams discharge themselves, while
they have seyerally no outlet. are or should
be salt. If one such is fresh, that is an
anomaly indeed. Lake Utah probably re-
ceives as much saline matter as Salt Lake /;
but discharges it through the Jordan and
remains fresh while Salt Lake, having no
issue, save by evaporation, is propably the
safest body of water on earth. The ocean
is comparatively fresh even the Mediter-
ranean at Leghorn is not half so salt. I
am told that three barrels of this water
yield barrel of salt: that seems rather
strong, yet its intense sadness, no one who
has not had it in his eyes. his m oulh, his
nostrils, can realize. You can no more
sink in it than in clay bank, but very
little of it in your lungs would suffice to
strange you. You make your way IN from
a hot, rocky beach over . chaos of volcanic
basalt that is trying to the feet: but at the
depth of yard or more you have ine sand
bottom, and here the bathing is delightful.
TIE water is of a light green color for
ten or twenty rods !; then deeply, darkly,
beautifully blue No fish can live in it: no
frogs abide in it; few birds are ever seen
dipping into it."

Rope Walking at Genesee Falls

Rope Walking at GeneSee Falls.
About two O'Clock this afternoon, M. De
Lave commenced his rope walking over the
Genesee Falls, in presence of few hun
bred people. He walked over and back
successfully.
A short time after he appeared to under
take the feat of carrying a man upon his
back. The man mounted upon his Shout
ders with his feet suspended at the sides of
De Lave, and he moved slowly out upon
the rope.
When near the centre of the river the
rope began to sway, and it was clear that
the feat was not to be accomplished. Pres
emily De Lave saw that he was about to fall,
and threw his pole and caught by his arms.
The man upon his back caught around his
body and drew himself up on the rope.
And there the two acrobats were seated
upon the rope when our reporter left. We
hear, just as we go to press, that they man
aged to reach the shore in safety upon the
rope.
We understand that De Lave attributed
the failure of the feat to the wet rope-the
spray flying upon it in quite shower.
This adventure of taking man over was
one that De Lave had better omitted alto
gether. And in my view of the small au-
dienee he had to-day. it is surprising that
be undertook it.
This will probably be the end of rope
walking In this city.

reward Of Honesty.

We find the following in the st. Louis
Republican, of the 18th inst:
Johnny Moore is the name of bright
eyed, jolly-faced Lac, twelve or fourteen
years of age, whose invalid widowed mother.
living on Morgan street. he helped to sup
port by the sale of newspapers and By such
errands and small jobs as he may chance to
fall in with. Johnny, who is the hero OF
the pleasant and truthful incident we are
about to record, IS extremely neat In his at
tire, though his clothes have not always
been of the best, and may have shown, in
sundry patches and mended rents, the re-
suits of both poverty and frugal care. In
short, Johnny is just such boy as we used
to ''read about in Sunday School books.
Yesterday morning, bright aud early, be
was treading along Broadway, between
Franklin Avenue and Washington street,
I when he CHANGED to stumble against large
pocket-book, which be picked up, and found
to contain a large number of bank notes
and papers. While he was meditating on
the sudden riches he bad amassed, and
which he had slid into capacious pocket,
or perhaps racking his youthful mind
whether to seek for the owner, or conceal
his good fortune, gentleman rushed by
him in an anxious, hurried, nervous man
ner, which convinced the boy that he was
looking for something, and he thought he
knew what
''Have you lost anything?' asked john
ny. ''Yes-my pocket book, was the gen

The little fellow expected" he had-he
didn't know, though. What kind of peck

ing store, where the flushed and almost
breathless individual .'of the first part"
proceeded to say that the pocket-book was
large black one, containing $1,000 in
bank bills and some accounts, strip of red
morocco binding underneath, the flap being
inscribed Robert Thomas, Coyington,
Ky" The description tailed, and John
ny's eyes snapped with cheerfulness as he
placed the treasure, just as he had found it,
into the strangers hands, and we opine there
was greater joy in that one act than ten
thousand dollars could have purchased, at
the expense of guilty conscience.
Mr.. Thomas hardly seemed to know
which to feel most--relief on the recovery
of his money and papers, or gratitude to
the lad, and admiration of his honesty
Taking Johnny by the hand, whose bound
ing heart-he knew not why-had by this
time ''splashed tears into his eyes," the
gentleman took him to clothing store, and
dressed him out from top to toe in a bran
new suit. Then proceeding to a jewelry
store, he purchased a good silver watch,
upon which he directed to be engraved these
words: Robert Thomas to Little Johnny
Moore. st. Louis, Sept. Sd, 1859. Hon
esty is the best policy Not even content
with this, the generous stranger placed in a
neat bead purse five twenty-dollar gold pie
ces, which he directed the lad to give to his
mother.
We shall not attempt to portray the emo
tons of the boy. If his quivering lips and
choked utterance, and the smile that strove
so hard to get through the watery globules
that trembled in his eyes, failed to tell what
was going on in his heart, how shall we
tell it?

rae Civ of Erzeroum.

Erzeroum, lately entirely destroyed by a
series of earthquakes, was, says the New
York Herald, the principle city of Armen-
ia, in Asiatic Turkey. capital of pashalic
of the same name, in plain on the Kara
500, or west branch of the Euphrates, 100
miles southeast of Trebizond, and 155
miles west of Mount Ararat. The popula-
ton, before the Russian invasion in 1880,
was estimated at 100, 900, but in 1914 it
was only 10000; it was, however, regular
~ increasing. 1t was partly enclosed by a
wall thirty feet high, and had an extensive
citadel. The streets were narrow, filthy,
and infested with dogs; the houses were
mostly of mud, timber, or sun-dried bricks.
The principal buildings were the Armenian
and Greek churches and schools, about for
ty mosques, large custom house, and nu-
merous khans or caravansaries. Erzeroum
had an extensive trade with all the adjacent
countries, and was chief hating station
for caravans going from Teheran and Nee
ca. The imports comprised shawls, silks,
cotton. tobacco, rice, indigo, madden and
rheubarb from the east, and broadcloths,
chintzes, shawls and cutlery from the west,
by way of the Black Sea. Its vicinity was
extremely fertile. and near 1t many cattle,
horses, mules and sheep were reared which
with furs, gals, DC, formed the principal
exports. Erzeroum was founded about IL 5,
near the site of the ancient ARA, under the
name of Theodosiopolis, and it was the
bulwark of Armenia under the Byzantines,
as it was under the Turks. its position rem
dering it an important post.

Mr.. Yancy, of Iowa, advances the idea in

er time to sow timothy and red top, is when
the seed becomes so ripe that it falls to the
earth of its own accord-in this latitude
from the Goth of July to the middle Of Au-
gust. A great many failures occur in SOW
ing in the spring and fall with grain crops
and many farmers have come to the con-
clusion, with Mr. Y, that such seeding
won't pay that it is better to SOW it alone
and at the time above stated
