The Temperance Question.

IN Sweden, the first time that man
IL appears in any public place in a
state of intoxcation, he is fined three
dollars, the second time six dollars. For
the third and fourth times, the penalty
is much more severe, for the culprit has
not only to pay heavier sum of'money,
but also loses his rights as an elector,
becomes ineligible for Office and 'on the
Sunday next ensuing after his drunken
fit, is placed in the stocks in front of the
parochial church.
The fifth time man gets tipsy he is
incarcerated in a house of correction
and condemned to six months hard la
Dor, and on the sixth occasion he is sent
to prison for whole year, of hard labor.
Every person convicted Of having in
duced another to get drunk pays three
dollars, and if the person thus Influenced
be under age, six dollars is the penalty.
An ecclesiastic who thus forgets himself
loses his position, and if he be civil
officer, he is suspended or deprived of his
charge and its emoluments. Moreover,
drunkenness is never accepted as an
excuse for any crime or breach of the
peace, and a man who dies drunk is not
allowed burial in coDsecrated ground.
The result of these regulations, and
their faithful execution by magistrates,
has, of late years, been most remarkable
improvement in the moral condition of
the lower classes in Sweden, and the
example is held up to other nations by
writer's on temperance legislation.
In this country, the time has come for
revival of personal and legal effort to
arrest the rising tide that threatens ito
sweep all barriers away

A Romance of the Pave.

A FEW WEEKS ago a poor, lonely
"A. bachelor, who had never loved or
been loved, left his dreary home for the
sake of little exercise. The morning
was bright and sunny, and as he walked
up Broadway he gazed longingly at the
girls as they passed him, and thought
of his wretched condition. As he $sw
their bright and smiling oountenances,
and the happy faces oftheir male compan-
ions, he could not but contrast his own
loneliness and single misery. These
thoughts weighed upon him, and he
became quite melancholy. AS he was
standing on the sidewalk, gazing listlessly
about, he saw beautiful young girl
coming toward him, leading a venerable
blind man. Unmindful Of the danger
she incurred from the passing vehicles,
her whole thought was devoted to her
charge, which she finally landed in safety
on the sidewalk. He thanked her
for her kindness, and she left him. The
lonely bachelor saw the whole transaction,
and it struck him so forcibly that all his
ideas concerning the gentler sex of the
community were changed. He took a
look at the young lady that he might
know her again, and went his way He
subsequently described her to some of
his friends, and after ascertaining who
she was procured an introduction He
found she was just as good as he
thought her; and now he is a married man.
OF course he told her of the incident that
led to their acquaintance. She, in turn,
told it to her lady friends and the conse-
quence is that new Society has been
started, called GO The Young Ladies'
Humanitarian Association for Helping
Blind Men across the street." Bachelors,

Heavens Best Gift.

Jerem. Taylor says, if you are for
pleasure, marry; if you prize your health,
marry. A good wife is Heavens last,

of many virtues; his casket of jewels
Her voice his sweetest music her smile

of innocence; her arms the pale OF his
safety, the balm of his health, the balsam
Of lis life; her industry his surest
wealth; her economy his safest steward !;
her lips his faithful counselors; her bo-
som the softest pillow of his cares; and
her prayers the ablest advocates of Heav;.

An Unpleasant Request.

A newly married man came very near
being madea victim of circumstances in
Baltimore the other day. In company
with his blooming bride, he repaired to
the depot for the purpose of taking pas
sage northward, and just as he was
about passing into the depot, he was
approached by small boy whose reason
is impaired, with "Papa give me cent
before you go away" The request of
the child was heard by the newly made
wife, and for tie moment she looked
very queer at her husband. The latter
was also somewhat confused by the
peculiar fix which he was in, but managed
to say to the child, "Go away | am not
your father" The little child, however,
asserted that such was the case, and
stoutly insisted on being presented with
penny. Again the wife looked queerly
at her husband, and had it not been for
gentleman who stepped up to the couple
at this juncture and remarked that the
child importuned for penny every gentle
man with whom he met, the young
husband would not have enjoyed as pleas
ant journey as he anticipated.

we knew the care and crosses
Crowding around our neighbours way;
If we knew the little losses,
Sorely grievous, day by day,
Would we then so often chide him
For his lack of thrift and gain,
Leaving on his hearta shadow
Leaving on our lives a stain?
If we knew the clouds above us,
Held but gentle blessing there,
Would we turn away all trembling,
In our blind and weak despair?
Would we shrink from little shadows
Fitting DER the dewy grass,
If we knew that birds of Eden
Were in mercy flying past?
II we knew the silent story,
Quivering through the heart of pain,
Would we drive it with our GOODNESS
Back to haunts of guilt again?
Life hathmany tangled crossing,
JOY hath many break OF wOe
But the cheeks, tear-washed, are whitest,
And kept in life are flowers by snow.
Let us reach into our bosOms
For the key to other lives,
And with love towards erring nature,
Cherish good that still survives;
So that when our disrobed spirits,
Soar to realms of light above,
We may say "Dear Father, love us,
Fen as we have shown our love"

THE MISSING CHECK.
IS A MERRY CHRISTMAS, Miss
"a Mabel "
BY JUDGE CLARK.

IA Mabelw
1t was the first time Mabel had heard
the words that day. From early dawn
she had toiled at her needle.
The bells were Ginning eleven and
Mabel stood, dripping and shivering, on
the threshold of the wretched tenement,
one of whose poorest apartments consti-
tuted her home The night was dark
and stormy, and she had had long walk
through the driving rain and sleet, from
the fashionable quarter in which her rich
employer dwelt, to the humber one that
contained her own miserable abode.
CA merry Christmas, Miss Mabel, and
there's Christmas gift for you," said a
little, dumpy old gentleman, touching her
arm as she was about to ascend the steps,
and thrusting crumbled slip of paper
into her hand.
What sharp eyes the little old gentle
man must have had to recognize her in
that dim and shadowy light, for it took
the second glance of MabePs, young and
keen as they were, to make out the jolly
features of Mr.. Wentworth, who had
once employed her to copy some papers,
for which he had paid her literally.
Mabel would have said "thank you"
for the gift, whatever it was but before
she had time to do So the little old gen.
tleman was off.
