Keen, earnest eyes, all over the State, will

which will reduce the taxes of its citizens, and
add to the general welfare of all classes. Too
much legislation is to be dreaded. Perhaps it is
worse than too little. Experience has proved
that no good results follow the passage of a null

the statute books with mass of useless acts.

MY Wise's Hand.

Every night, when the stars come out,
And the birds have gone to rest,
A little hand like a cooling dove,
Nestles about my breast
Smooths my forehead and pats my cheek;
Passes its finger tips
Over my eyelids and through my hair,
Lingering Oh my lips.
Clings to my neck and clasps my arm,
Till, tired Of its caress,
And fallen asleep within my own,
That pure white hand press.
Many year has come and gone;
The little hand is cold;
Children's children are on my knee,
And l am growing old.
Yet, each night, as the stars come out,
And / near the heavenly land,
/ feel as l felt in my early days,
The touch of that gentle hand.

A Quiet Life.

A little crib beside the bed,
A little face above the spread,
A little frock behind the door,
A little shoe upon the floor.
A little lad with dark brown hair,
A little blue-eyed face and fair;
A little lane that leads to school,
A little pencil, slate, and rule.
little blithesome, winsome maid,
A little hand within his laid;
little cottage, acres four,
little old-time household store.
little family gathering round;
little turfheaped, tear-dewed mound;

little rest from hardest toll.
A little silver in his hair,
little stool and easy chair;
little night of faith-it gloom;

ALLEGED PERJURY.

The first case called by Mr.. Hutchngs
yesterday was indictment against Mar
TIN Reid, charging him with perjury, in
swearing that on TWO separate occasions
he paid Mr.. Monmouth B. Wilson, one Of the fire
commissioners, the sum Of $275 on condition that he
would procure him position on the police force.
Judge Curtis, Of the Marine Court, was the first
witness examined. He testified that o case was
tried before him on the complaint Of Martin Reid
against Monmouth d. Wilson, for the recovery OF
$275 said to have been given to Wilson, when the
jury gave verdict for the defendant On that trial
Reid swore that he paid Wilson $?75 in two separate
payments, he agreeing to put him on the police

is not a milliner, as we use the term In
this country, but drcss-maker. Ills
special business, that which he does Win
his own hands, is lifting dresses to the
forms of the most wealthy and aristocrat'
io ladies of the gay capital. He also tells
each one what other garments and orha'
ments she must wear, and how her mar
must be arranged to produce a harmoni'
Gus effect; and his word Is law. Hc mas

Familiarity trifh EriI.

In the long run those things are tho.
most influential upon us which act imper-
ccptibly, but act all the time. In Judging
Of the things that produce the disposition,
orrathcr that train IL. we are not to Judge
of those things alone which are appar-
ent. Influences that work In us little by
little are the formatory influences Of
life.
The presence Of evil produces familiari-
ty, allays suspicion, and takes OF fear and
repulsion. When evil exists In men, II Is
always mixed quality. No manis Who'll
ly bad, and no man is wholly good. Men
are strangely compounded. And when
evil Is Joined with good trait, the evil
Is so chcckercd with the good, that We
can not but feel sort of amiablc sorrow,
which Is the next thing to appreciation.
The good that Is associated with evil
traits la men with whom we are acq,lalnt-
cd, goes far to take away from tie mind
sense of the wickcdncss of evil.
Being familiar with evil brings you into
the reach Of temptation. 1t not only
makes you u spectator Of that which Is
dangerous, but brings you within is easy
reach. Many 20 whcre.cvil Is, thinking
that they are not susceptible to 1t, and by
and by, after being under It's influence
and becoming familiar with Il, they are
caught by II. suppose there were never
twenty wicked men Of whom you might
not say that iiteen were men who, In the
beginning, were perfectly certain that
they could not be made wicked. II Is the
confidence that you are safe that Is your
great danger In the presence OF evil.
1t Is objected that Il Is not always pos
sIblc to get away from evil. Remember,
then, that when you do not submit to evil,
when you set your mind against Ii, and
when you put yourself In an attitude to
correct It, It will do you no harm though
you are In the midst Of 1t. Ifyou refuse
to laugh, II you refuse to indorsc the tale,
ifyou refuse to join In the conviyiality, II
you are found faithful though you arc
among the faithless, then, so far from
being harmed, you will be benefited; so
far from being brought down by evil, you
will be lifted out of the sphere Of its In
nuence. You will be n rcfornicr, under
such circumstances, and God will take
care Of fyou.-Hsnry Ward Beeehsr.
