Linuor Selllng in New York

The statistics of Intoxicating liquors in this
city were given, few days since, as follows
by Rev. Mr.. Van Meter, superintendent Of the
Howard Mission. We copy from the Trib-
uHe;
"There are in this city 5,203 licensed
places selling Intoxicating liquor. Superin-
tendent Kennedy placed policemen at 223 Of
them for - consecutive hours; and this is
the result; Each rum hole receives daily
average of l3l visits, making an aggregate of
G97 202 per day, 4,ls3,2l2 per week, or
21S,224 226 visits in one year Each visit
averages at least 5 minutes This gives us
5,455, ,605 days of 10 hours each, or l,S4S
years. At present wages, each one, if sober
and industrious, would earn 3 per day-s5,- =
455 COS in one year. But this is not all the
lost time The time OF at least three persons
is occupied by each grog-shop to do its work.
This gives us 1900 persons--enough to

this is a mere fraction Of the cost OF rum.
From the SAME source we have the following

Poor Mar1,s Influence.

Alta fall term Of q village academy one
hundred aud fifty pupils had met to spend
three months together On back seat apart
from the others, SAT plaln-ieatmed, poorly
attircd, shrinking girl Of fourteen. She was
a stranger. and no one seemed TO notice her
except to make some dsparaging remark.
Her classmates seldom spoke to her, and
never offered to assist her in her lessons.
She was studious; but it was evident that her
educational advantages We're very limited. A
shade of sadness rested on her countenance,
and sometime, her eyes would fill with tears
as She witnessed the warm greeting Of the
school girls. She worked for her board and
consequently had no time for rest or recrea-
ton
After the school had progressed few
weeks, female prayer-meetng of the pupil,
was appointed, A very few met, but there
was backwardness in commencing the eXercis
es. Softly the door of the department opened
and poor neglected Mary entered and seated
herself IN a corner The meeting was opened
I by dull, formal prayer, aud then all were
invited to occupy the time. There was silence
for several minutes; then with an almost nois
less movement Mary knelt AZ FIRST her voice
was tromulous, then she seemed to enter the
presence-chamber of her Savior, and with hu
mlity and chldlike faith she pleaded for dai
ly grace, and for preparation for future
usefulness and with almost agonlzng earnest
ness she prayed for the conversion Of thos'
with whom she daily assembled. Every ey,
in the room was filled with tears, and man,
penitental prayers followed hers. 4 fresl
interest in the subject of religion was awaken
ed. and revival followed, and many of tn
students were converted, several Of whom ai
terwards became ministers of the Gospel
Mary by working later at night, secured tn
privilege of constantly meeting with the pray

Ramenhrance Of the Dead.

They tell us--don't they 2-that one OF
the merefulest dispensations of Providence
is our facility for forgetting-the ease and
quickness with which we get over things. To
me, it seems that what points the sting of
grief is the thought that a time will come
when We shall grieye no more. 1t is terrible
enough, God wot, for person to drop out Of
our lives but to drop out of our hearts too
All, poor dead ones is it not hard y As long
as their memory is with us fresh and green
as long as it lives with US, as they themselves
lived with us, coming in and going out, in
the house and in the street, in talk and in ST.
lence, on Sundays and on week-days-so long
as we do seem TO keep a little portion of
them with rs, they do not seem quite gone
away from US. But the same thing happen
