Can't Afford 1t

There are men who don't take pa
per because they can't afford it''-they
are poor-they require all their money
to keep up their family expenses ''these
hard times" We met one of these the
other day, and we said to him he ought
to have paper. "Well, really" said he
II would if | could afford it, like,
to oblige you; but things are so con-
founded tight just now that it is hard to
make both ends meet" We did not
press the matter upon our "hard up"
friend, but knowing his habits, we
made the calculation based on that
knowledge. Two glasses of ale day at
ten cents, seventy-three dollars; three
cigars, one after each meal, one year,
two hundred and twelve dollars and
fifty cents--sufficient to buy six barrels
of -four, one barrel of sugar, one sack OF
coffee, good coat, Il respectable dress,
frock for the bapy, and half dozen
pair of SHOES, ami all the daily paper in
the city, to say nothing about mag
azines, books, &c, You see the point
the man couldn't afford it, and there are
thousands just like him for the same
reason.

THE Medical Record cites DIR. Lethely
as stating that the effects of alcohol are
much modified by the substances with
which it is associated in different alco-
holic liquids. Beers and ale, for eXam-
pie, On the respiratory function by rea-
son of the saccharine and nitrOgenous
matters they contain; wine also, as well
as cider and perry, have a similar action;
and, in proportion to their saccharine
and acid constituents, brandy and gin
lessen the respiratory changes, and the
latter acts on the kidneys by reason OF
the volatile oil it contains; whisky is
uncertain in its effects upon the lungs;
while rum, like beer and ale, is true
restorative, as it sustains and increases
the vital power; and he says that the
old-fashioned combination of rum and
milk is the most powerful restorative
with which he is acquainted.

USED with due abstinence, hope acts
as a healtlfuI tonic, intemperately
indulged;, rs an enervating opiate
The visions of future triumph, which
at first onimate exertion, if dwelt upon
too intently, will usurp the place OF
the stern reality; and noble objects will
be contemplated, not for their own
inherent worth, but on account OF the
day-dreams they engender. Thus hope,
aided by Imagination, makes one man
hero, another a somnambulist, and
a third lunatic; while it rendered
them eli enthusiasts.

AT almost every Step in life, We meet
with young men from whom we antici-

after careful inquiry, we never hear

Looking Thirty Years Ahead.

A writer in Appleton's Journal, under
the head of by 1900--What?' UNDER
takes to forecast the future social and
industrial condition ofthe United States.
He predicts (I that there will be no
great war during the next thirty years;
~ that there will be an enormous in
crease of the wealth of the country; (3)
that this wealth will be far more une-
qually distributed than it is now--that
the rich will become very much richer,
while the numbers of the wages receivs
ing class will be largely added to. In
other words, instead of population
mainly composed of the middle class,
as is the case now, we shall have very
rich class and a great laboring though
not poor class; in short, that the mid
die class, 50 called, will be greatly re-
duced In number as compared with the
rest of the population. The writer
believes that the close of the century
will witness great industrial disturban-
ces unless the very rich recognize their
social duties towards the rest of the
community. All this may turn out to
be very good guessing; but then again
it may not. h~

Terrible Flood in the Catskills-
An Entire Village washed Away.

Our readers are all probably familiar
with the little village Of Falling Waters
in the Catskills, which has been made
famous as the residence of the renowned
Rip Van Wrinkle, and they will be sorry
to learn that terrific as aHGa sfye a
Of existence as Pompeii, Hercu laneum,
or the Cities of tho Plain. Every thing
which lent beauty to the landscape,
even the rugged mountains, and every
vestige of human habitation, the inn
where Rip assuaged his too constant
thirst, the cabin where Gretchen toiled
and scolded, the house of the crafty at
torney, have all disappeared in the flu
rious stream. The moving tale of the
catastrophe was told at the Jefferson
Market Police Court by Mr.. Aagonigle,
the treasurer of Booths theatre, who
made complaint against one Thomas
Macready, youth heretofore to for
tune and to fame unknown, but evil
IDENTIFY jealous of the fame of him who
fired the Ephesian dome.
Several days since, according to Mr..
Magonigle's statement, and that of
other witnesses, the ambitious Thomas
managed to effect an entrance to the
stage Of the theatre, and turned on the
water from the fire butt. This butt Is
so arranged to be used in case of fire,
and throws an immense stream of wa
ter. The result of this piece of mis-
chief was that the scenery of the Cat
skills, used in the play of rip Van
Wrinkle, was totally destroyed, and the
whole auditorium flooded as we'll. The
damage done Mr.. Magonigle puts at not
less than $1,000. Macready was COM
mitted in default of $1,000 bail to an
swer to charge of malicious mischief.
The public will reap one consolation
from the occurrence, and that is conf
Portable assurance of their entire safety
in case fire should ever occur during
a performance in the house. We be-.
lieve that damages have been so re-
paired that the play will not be in
terrupted.- York Commercial ADJ

VIOLATION OF THE OYSTER
LAWS.

A correspondent of the Richmond
Wing. writing from "Pine Top" Mid
dlesex county, Va, thus complains Oh a .
fragrant violation of the oyster laws Oh
this State:
find that the people here, as in
other Underwater counties, comPlaih
bitterly of the present oyster laws,
which being shamefully violated, act
iniuriously to the honest FISHERMAN,
who has no other means of subsistence.
Bv the present laws Of the State dredg-
ing for oysters is allowed in the Chesa-
peake, bay in water not under thirty
feet in depth. 'The people charge that
persons engaged in dredging continual
" violate this law by taking oysters in
the bay with the dredgc in water less
than thirty feet, and that Under cover
of darkness these same parties come
into the rivers and take oysters in the
same way. There being no water marks
in the bay, the position of the dredging
vessel and the depth of water can
never be sworn to positively, and thus
it is next to impossible to get sufficient
proof to convict them in court of JUS
tice, while in the night time their move
ments are wholly concealed. If this
nefarious system continues, the natural
beds will soon be broken up and des-
troyed, and with them the oyster trade,
which gives employment to thousands
of our people and is the source of
large revenue to the State. Believing,
as I do, that the present oyster laws
ought to be revised, 1 trust that the
next Legislature will so modify them as
not only to give satisfaction to this
large class of industrious citizens, but
to preserve the natural beds from des-
truction, and thus to perpetuate the
oyster in our waters.
Will not General Candy protect this
important interest by issuing ageneral
order forbidding dredging altogether in
the waters of Virginia until the meeting
of the next Legislature
