A Plea for tho schcoi Girls.


EDIroRs JoURNAL:--A few days ago,
having occasion to walk short distance
in the country, when the snow was in
just the condition to dampen ones dress,
and give ones ankles very uncomforta-
bic feeling, l met a gentleman, where
there was plenty of room on either side
of the road, the ground was level, and
the load light, there being no occupant of
the vehicle but himself. Surprising un,
der the circumstances, that I would be
allowed part of the road, I remained
in it, until found the only alternative
was the snow, or disastrous accident,
and only stepped out in time to allow
the team to dash past, and not come in.
contact with me. ~ SIS.
This led me to consider the selfishness
or want Of consideration of drivers, who
crowd children into the snow, especially
scholars, who if they dampen their feet
in the morning, are often obliged to sit
the entire day without thoroughly drying
them.
Perhaps some delicate girl, who will.
ingly braves the snow and storm for the
privilege of obtaining instruction, the
only opportunity she has of getting an
education, meets half dozen teams on
her way to school. Setting in the school
room all day with cold damp f ct, she
goes away with cold, and coughs badly
for weeks, is detained from school by
sickness, and in addition to her suffering
is deprived of the advantages she so
eagerly improved. '.'' @
Undoubtedly more men are careless
than cruel in regard to this matter, and
will be glad to be reminded of their
thoughtlessness, aud its results.
In some states l am informed, the
law gives person travelling on foot,

In that case, besides being discourte-
Gus, it is trespassing upon the rights of
another, to crowd them into the snow.
With heavy load, and uneven
ground, it may be necessary sometimes
to keep in the road, obliging those who
can get out of the way, to do so. but
one ought always to remember the golden
rule, and try to realize how they would
wish to be treated under similar circum-
stances. If children would always re-

A sNdiney-sotyo Incident.

and vigor Of muscle which an auction

great beads of Precipitation encircling his
forehead, he described the drowning Of
a young man "out in Miney soty,"
which he likened to the destruction of
the uurepentant sinner. The narrative
and the metaphor continually tripped
each other. Brethering.' said be, 'there
was that poor young man a sinking; we

1t Costs More Than Bread.

A few days ago policeman remark
ed: " There are three glasses of liquor
drank in this city for each loaf Of bread
that is eaten"
Suppose this is true; then for each
loaf of bread, at ten cents, there is paid
for drink thirty cents; or three times as
much for liquor as for bread
1t is estimated that four barrels of
-four will supply family of five persons
with bread for a year. A barrel of flour
will make 264 pounds of bread, and the
four barrels will give l. 056 pounds. AT
six cents per pound, this is 1884 for
each barrel of -four, or SO. SO for the four
barrels. If this estimate is too low,
take five barrels of flour for each family
of five persons, and the value Of bread
at six cents per pound is 70 90 for the
year. The $4,000 families Of Eve per
sons each, constituting the population of
the city, consume at this rate, bread TO
the value of $l4,414,40O per year.
There are in this city now at least
1000 places where intoxicating liquors
are sold. The number in New York
and Brooklyn in April, 1866. was o.
27O. If they receive on an average $50
day each, that is $43, 100000 a year,
or at SO day each it is $2I, 900, 900
year. Ii is true some of these drink.
ing houses are mere holes in the WALL"
but others of them are palaces. Some
of them take in only few dollars day.
while large numbers of others take in
hundreds Of dollars. But it is not at the
drinking houses, at public bars, where ali
the intoxicating liquors are consumed.
AT eating houses. at clubs and at the ho-
tells, are expended large sums for wines
and strong spirits. Thus the use of strong
drink counts up very fast, as against
bread.
