BEER, BEER, BEER

TIE Commissioner of Agriculture, in his report
for the year 1866, speaks as follows:
"There can be TO doubt of the general adultera-
ton of all malt liquors. In England and other
countries, where heavy penalties are imposed, and
an increasing vigilance practced to detect and
punish such frauds, by system of inspection of
all maltliquors manufactured before exposed TO
SALE the practice isavery common. How much
more in this country, where there are no laws on
the subject and no officer to carefully analyze the
products of the brewery? Some years ago, Pro-
lessor Mapes, of New York, analysed the beer
from q dozen different breweries, and all were
found adultcrated with noxious substances. 1t is
said that the sale of drugs to brewers, is profit
able part of the trade. This is perfectly infamous.
Ccccuus indcus, (ish-berry,) nux vomica (dog-
button from which strychnne is Obtained,) are
some of the deectable substances found in beer.
These are potent poisons and the brewer found
using them should be drowned at once in one of
his own watts. Tie British Parliament passed o
law to prevent this nefarious business. The fol-
lowing is an extract: No druggist vender of or
dealer in drugs, or chemist, or any other person,
shall sell or deliver to any licensed brewer, dealer
in or retailer in beer, knowing them to be such, or
shall sell or deliver to any person on account of,
or in trust for, any such brewer, dealer or retail
er. any liquor called by ahe name of or sold for
coloring, from whatever the material the same may
be made; or any material or preparation other
than unground brown malt for the darkening the
color of worts beer, any molasses, vitro honey,
ouessia, cocculus iudicus, grains of paradise,
Guinea pepper, or opium, or any extract or pre-
paration of molasses, or any article preparation
to be used in wors or beer for a substitute
for malt or hops; and if any druggist shall offend
in any Of these particulars, such preparation, &C.,
shall be forfeited, and may be seized by anyoicer
excise, and the person so offending shall forfeit
fue hundred pounds.
"Under this law, very many druggists and
brewers were brought to grief and yet the practice
continues. Unless the American people are ready
to admit the immaculate purity and innocence of
American brewers, they must be content, while
drinking their beer to cherish the belief that they
are at the same time guzzling narcotic poison
or damaging medicine. In view of the unprece-
dented growth of the barley crop; of the great in
crease of the number of malsters and brewers; of
the vast unknown quantities Of beer that are drunk
in every city and almost every town on the conti-
nent it is the dictate Of sound wisdom, that the
attention of legislators should be called to the sub
jccE of the aiulieration Of our malt liquors, and
severe penalties should be inflicted as q preycn-
tive"

4 TOLD TALE.

The year passes away like tale that
Is told. Nay, a tale that is told may be
told again; but year that has been
lived cannot be lived again. Gone once,
it is gone forever.
What has been this years history? 1t
can never be written. A nations an
mails of thousand years are compassed
i'll thousand pages. How little is told
by historians how much remains I'M
told! Here and there a great battle;
here and there a newborn state; here
and there an angry revolution here and
there dynasty quenched like n star;
this is the substance Of that dignified
literature which most men call history,
but which Macaulay, the greatest of
historians, called "a nurses tale.
What changes year makes in human
secietyi What cradles! What we'd
ding-feastsf What gravesi EnEs4isfg-
are the works of those two artificers,
Life and Iimel More cunning still are
the miracles of those two greater mast
ers. Death and Eternityl
Who can count the sins, the follies,
the Yanlties of one mans life for one
year? How many slips of tongue and
penl How many crooked paths, in
stead of the straight and narrow way
How much daily human selfishness, in
stead of the Lords perpetual self-abne-
gationI Grim, solemn, and terrible is
the testimony against man which the
flying years go bearing with rapid wing
toward the Judgement Day. God pity
us all
But who would bril4 back the de-
parting year? All men would gladly
add another year'to their lives; yet no
man would care to live over again any
former year. "The past time of our
lives ssifficeth u.s." With most men, the
happiest, the safest; the best part of their
lives is that which they have already
lived, and shall not live again. But
human life, by. Gods grace, ought to
grow better and better, not worse and
worse and worse. What daily PRAYER
and what nightly watching should fill
the Christians allotted time on earth.
The old year passes into remembrance
the new. into duty. Cast backward the
casual glance, but bend forward the
steady gaze. The greatest of human
Achievements is the making of Chris
tian characf err. But this is more than
human achievement. 1t requires the
COW orking both OF man and Goe. He
who builds without God builds in vain.
At this meditative season. let men self
question their plans, their motives, their
ambitions; to learn for themselves
whether their hearts are in profitable
partnership with Gods grace.
May the New Year bring us more
zeal for work: more singleness of con-
secration more deyoutness of spirituaI
life more humbieness before the Cross;
more aspiration toward the Crown.

We form judgements of MEN from little
things about their houses, of which the
owners perhaps never think. Flowers
about rich mans house may signify
only that he has good gardener, or
that he has refined neighbors, and does
what he sees them do. But men are
not accustomed to buy books unless they
want them. If, on visiting the dwell
ing of man of slender means, we find
that he contents himself with cheap
carpets and very plain furniture, in
order that he may purchase books, he
rises at once in our esteem. Books are
not made for furniture, but there is
nothing else that so beautifully furnishes
a house. The plainest row of books is
more significant of refinement than the
most elaborateiy carved sideboard.
Give us house furnished with books
rather than furniture. Both, If yon can /;
but books at any rate To spend sew
eral days in friend s house, and hunger
for something to read, while you are
treading on costly carpets, and sitting
upon luxurious chairs, and sleeping up
on down, is as if one were bribing your
body for the sake OF cheating your
mind.
Books are the window through which
the soul looks out. A house without
them is like q room without windows.
No man has a right to bring mp his
children without surrounding them with
books, if he has the means to buy them.
1t is wrong to his family. Children
learn to read by being in the presence
of books, The love of knowledge comes
with reading, and grows upon it. And
the love of knowledge in a young mind
is almost a warrant against the inferior
excitement of passions and vice.
Let US pity those poor rich men who
live barrenly in great bookless houses
Let rIs congratulate the poor that, I'm ouI
day, books are SO cheap that man ma.
every year add q hundred volumes to
his library for the price4of. what his to-
baceo and his beer would cost him

voice. Although there is remarkable
quietness in his manner, there is at the
same time marked positiveness of utter
ance, to such degree indeed that one
feels that there is very little use in re-
plying to an adverse opinion. Though
there was nothing approximating to
rudeness, there was that positiveness in
his first short response to the Louisiana
Senator and Judge that left them neith-
er heart nor hope to plead their cause
further. 1t was clearly evident that
what they said after that was in defense
of themselves rather than in the hope
of making an impression on their aud
itor. Il.
Such is Grant as j saw him. He is
unchanging. He is as positive and de-
termined as ever. Whatever line of
battle he may fix upon, you may depend
upon it, he will still fight it out ON that
line. .. G. A.

How TO Cook A BEAN.-Many cooks
have much trouble in cooking beans.
Where hard water is used. they don't
know exactly how much to ''break" it,
and where soft water is used they don't
know just how long to boil them, &c.
For the benefit of unfortunate bean
cookers we give the following excellent
receipt:
Buy a bean, battle it well, put in

REVOLUTIONARY ANECDOTE.

1t was q fine Sabbath morn in the
year l777, that the inhabitants of little
parish in the State of Vermont and onthe
borders of New Hampshire assembled in
their accustomed place of worship. The
cares and turmoils of that fearful and
long-to- aforementioned Summer had i'm
printed an unusually serious look upon
the rough, though not unpleasiBg coun-
tenanee of the male members of that
relaxed, however. as they entered that
hallOwed place, and felt the genial in
huence of a summers sun, whese rays
illuminated the sanctuary and PLAYED
upon the desk, and upon the fine. open
countenance of him who Ininistered
there. He was a venerable man, and
his whitened locks and tottering frame
evidenced that he had numbered his
three-score and ten years. Opening the
sacred volume, the minister of Christ
was about to commence the services of
the morning, when a messenger, almost
breathless, rushed into the church and
exclaimed, 1.-THE enemy are marching
upon our western counties!" The aged
soldier of the cross slowly looked round
upon his little band, and announced his
text: ''He who hath garment, let him
sell it and buy a sword After few
preliminary and patriotic remarks, he
added, in substance as follows: go
up, nay friends, beseech you, to the
you, to the help of your neighbors
against the mighty. Advance into the
field of battle, for God will muster the
hosts of war. Religion is too much in
terested in the success of this day not to
lend your influence. AS for myself, age
sits heavily upon me, and l cannot go
with You neither have L representatives
of my family to send. My daughters
(pointing AT the same time to the pew
where sat his aged daughters, the only
remnants of his family cannot draw
the sword nor carry the mnsket in de-
Tense of their country; but they can do
something-they can use the hoe-so
that the toil-worn soldier, when he re-
turns from the field of battle, may not
suffer for the want of the necessaries of
life." The venerable pastor bowed his
head in devotion, and in prayer gave
further flow to his deep emotions.
When he again looked around his audi
ence were gone. One by one they had
silently left the house of God, and. ere
the sun had that day set, the male in
habitants of that little parish, who were
able to bear arms, were far on their way
to meet the enemies of their country on
the field of Bennington.

OUTwITTED BY A CANADIAN GIRL.-
The Pressure Isle (Maine) ISMaFise tells
the following;
A young man of our village, Che re-
lates the story himself,) who fought but
did not die at Antietam and Gettys-
burg, went into the Provinces, on foot,
with SOME small articles for sale. One
night just as the sable curtains of the
evening were being lowered upon him,
he applied to a very respectable look
ing house for entertainment. He was
very kindly received by young lady
who happened TO be the only one of the
family at home with whom he partook
of the evening meal, and everything
seemed to our hero to be going on '.mer-
ry as marriage beli.n 1t seems, how

was a stump which the hero of a
