The very name of liquor is held to be
synonymous with enjoyment, and the
dearer the liquor the more it is priced
and coveted, Yet every man who is not
a downright drunkard is well aware that
the pleasures Of drinking are, beyond a
certain point, a mockery, a delusion and a
snare. lput il to any one who has spent
nall the night at porter-bar, or sat half
the night in club room, drinking, smoking
aud bandying reckless talk, If the enioy.
ment of such an evening has been anys
thing like that of few quiet hours spent
at home with book or newspaper The
evil influence Of tavern pleasure on the
health is too obvious to be denied by any
one, and the illusory nature of the plea
sures themselves would be undeniable
also, If the persons who indulge in them
did not deceive themselves and put truth
out fsight.
No one ever brought any good out of
drinking,bout yet. 1t is short, feverish
spasm of animal enjoyment, which leaves
nothing behind but moroseness, regret,
bad temper, sclf-reproach, and headache.
| should like to ask you, SIR, if you say
your prayers when you come home in
that shape' No-you don't. You are
ashamed to say them. You postpone
them till you have purged yourself, your
mind and your lips, by more sober and
rational behavior, Next night when you
pass the hours quietly at home with
book or friend, you feel that you have
had real enjoyment, and that the time
has passed pleasantly, that you have
learned something, and that you have not
injured your health. You are not
to say your prayers, and you
get up next morning with q clear head,
good appetite, and an increased faculty
for work and enjoyment of life.-AH tie

Regularly as evening sets in, the curious

Indeed, there is much to see and con-
siderable to learn. The Grecian bend

by hosting the shoulders into the ears.

the little hands from the waistband like a
kangaroo's short fore~paws, tits rumored

bring about the most stylish Grecian,
while others absolutely hold that sticking
plaster is used to maintain the unnatural

Why do not the clergy who have so
earnestly preached against the Black

the nurse and daughters were compelled

The Decoy sheep.

Reading in an English magazine lately,
we met with an account of curious de-
vice of the London butchers. 1t is diff
ficult task, as might be supposed, togdrive
flock of sheep through the streets of q
large city, where the resemblance is SO
small to green pastures and country roads.
They are liable to be scattered in all di.
roctions by the crowd of vehicles, and to
turn, every few rods, down the cross
streets, in manner sorely trying 10 pa
tiencc. Hence, when the butcher has
purchased n number of sheep at the gems
eral market, it is no small matter, even
with the help of a dog, 10 get them to
his private yard for slaughter. Can any
expedient lessen the troublei A know.
ledge of the animals instincts point out a
method of relief. A sheep is taken and
pcttcd till il becomes wontcd to the place,
and attached to its owner. 1t is then
used ms decoy, being led to the market
place where the purchase is made of the
little flock for the slaughter, and there
placed at their head. The butcher then
starts for home, the decoy sheep accom-
panies him, the others instinctively follow,
according 10 shecp-nature, and refuse to be
separated, threading their way through
streets and lanes, carts ard carriages,
pleased with following their leader, till
they reach the place of death
We said, just now, that this was accor-
ding TO sheep-nature. Is there nothing
like .t in human nature Alas we see
the same device in use on every hand by
the great enemy of souls. How few he
would en;rap without decoy! Fish do
not bite the bare hook. Birds will not
enter an empty trap-cage, Even sheep
do rot go willingly to the slaughter, but
must be enticed there Sinners love sin,
but rot death, and do not crowd the
broad road with any idea that it leads to
destruction. Satan has male study of

FLrING.-An English gentleman has
succeeded, by the gradual progress of con
tinued experiments, in constructing mech-
anism that enables him TO fly some dis-
tance. E"giacerig the scientific Journal.
says of 1t:
sit consists Of n pair OF wings of rather
small size, arranged so that they can be
worked by the arms, and a large, fam
shaped tail of very light construction, con
nccted to the body by basket work so it
stands at an angle of about 3 deg. with
the horizontal. Mr.. Spencer does no,
profess TO fly in the ordinary sense of the
term. lie uses hls apparatus by taking II
short quick ran, this run being continued
until by the pressure of the air against the
under surface of the tail, he is raised from
the ground. lie then, by using the
wings, maintains the momentum which
he has acquired, as long as possible, and
Is thus enabled to skim along at a short
distance above the ground. lie COM
menced his operations by practising long
Jumps without the aid of the apparatus,
and then commenced using the wings,
and finally added the tail. by continued
practice and from time TO time making
alterations in his apparatus, he has been
enabled TO extend considerably his air
flight or ''skims," and we were informed
by him few days ago that he has lately
accomplished flight of $50 feet, start
ing and alighting at the ground level.

All is Well.
BY JOHN a. WHITTIER.

Her window opens to the bay,
On glistening light or misty gray,
And there, at dawn and SET OF day,
In prayer she knecls!
Dear Lord " she saith, " to many n hom
From wind and wave the wanderers come
only see the tossing foam
Or stranger keels.
- Blown out and in by summer gales,
The stately ships with crowded sails
And sailors leaning DER their rails,
Before me glide;
They come they go, but nevermore
Spice laden from the Indian shore,
| see his swift-winged Isidore
The waves divide.
"Oh Thou! with whom the night is day
And one the near and far away,
Look out on yon gray waste and say
Where fingers he.
Alive, perchance, on some lone beach
Or thirsty isle beyond the reach
or man, he hears the mocking speech
OF wind and sea.
mOh, dead and cruel deep, reveal
The secret which thy waves conceal,
And, ye wild sea-birds. hither wheel
And tell your tale.
Let winds that tossed his raven hair
a message from my lost one bear
some Thought of me, last fond prayer
Or dying wall!
Come, with your dreariest truth shut out
me lGars that haunt me round about;
y God | cannot bear this doubt
That stiles breath
1ne worst is better than the dread:
Give me but leave to mourn my dead
Asleep in trust and hope, instead
OF life i'm death! :"
i might hnve been the evening breeze
That whispered in the garden trees;
II might have been the sound Of seas
That rose and fell:
But with her heart, if not her car,
The old loved voice she seemed to hear:
wait to meet thee be of cheer
For all Is well!"
