Wholesale Poisoning.

The virus of the liquor demon grows more
deadly from day to day. Some new atrocity
is constantly leaping, full-srown and full.
armed for its deadly work, from the ever ac-
tive crater. If an element more efficient in
mlngling madness with the blood of our
people or in filling alms-houses or graves. is
needed, the want is soon supplied. Chemis-
try is prostituted to the internal task, and
the most virulent poisons of the vegetable
and animal kingdoms, combined to fill the
armory of the traffic with a more destructive
weap"nry. The human stomach, the battle
ground where nature wages heroic war with
every enemy, cannot gra?ple but for a brief
period with the rum of this day. In little
time the strongest men are DESTROYED and
their d:ug-eaten bodies given to the grave.
The demon of avarice is greedy for gold, and
though the very graveyards should be per-
tec;ly gorged with dead, the work will still
20 on.
The drinking habits of this day, with the
facts which like slow moving skeleton fingers
point moekinsiy to the skull ard cross bones
reflected upon every bubble in the cup. bu,
prove how infatuated-how mad-intelligent
beings can be. The laboratory has wrenched

THE FIRST FAMILY PRAYER AT A TAVERN.
Rowland Hill was once driven BY storm
into village inn, and compelled to spend
the night. When it grew late the landlord
sent a request by the waiter that the guest
would go to BID. Mr. Hill replied, i have
been waiting expecting to be called to family
PRAYER
Family prayer, don't know what you
mean, sir-we never have had such things
here
Indeed, then YOU may tell your master
cannot 90 to bed until we have had family
prayer
The waiter informed his master, who in
CONSERVATION bounced into the room occu-
pied by the faithful minister. and said, 'Si1, l
wish YOU would go to bed. cannot 60 un-
til have seen all the lights out, l am so
afraid of FIRE.
so am |, Was the reply, bat have been
expecting to be summoned 10 your family
PRAYER
All very well sir, but it cannot be done at
an inn.'
Indeed, then pray get my horse, l cannot
sleep in house where there is no family
prayer
The host preferred to dismiss his prejudice
rather than his guest, and said, i have no
objection to have such PRAYER, but l don't
know how
We'll then, summon your people, and let
US try
The landlord obeved, and in few mo-
ments the astonished domestics were upon
their knees and the landlord called upon to
pray.
Sir, rever prayed in my life-1 don''

Then ask God to teach YOU was the gen.
tie reply.
The landlord said. folding his hands, God

That is prayer, my friend cried Mr.. Hill

Yes, You DO. God has taught YOU how to

PACKING APPLES IN LEAvEs.-A few years
ago Mr.. J. W. Eoynton of East Hartford,
while gathering up the leaves under an apple
tree in the spring, observed beneath them a
few fresh, unfrozen apples. 1t suggested a:
once that dry leaves would answer we'll as
packing material for fruit, and the next fall,
and every season since he has used them for
this purpose. We saw a few days ego some
specimens thus preserved seemingly as fresh
and as piquant in flavor as when FIRST gather
ed, yet he assured US they we're varieties that
would have decayed months before if unpro-
tected. His plan is to pick the apples care
fully at the proper time, but not to pack
them until the forest leaves are perfectly dry
and the weather quite cool. Then the ap.
pies and leaves are packed in alternate lay
ers and the last layer of leaves crowded in as
close as possible by placing any convenient
weight on the cover of the barrel. The
leaves are Of such elasticity that the whole
may be compressed SO tightly as to prevent
all shocking, &C., and yet not bruise the sp-
pie in the slightest degree. In this latitude
Mr.. Boyn,on has eve found it necessary to
keep these barrels Of fruit in any place warm
e: than an open shed. In would be .advisa.
bic, Of course, everywhere to keep them in as
cool place as possible. 1t the spring they
