Costs More Than Bread.

A few days ago policeman remarked
"There are three glasses of liquor drank in
this city for each loaf Of bread that is eat
en-"
Suppose this true; then for each lot OF
bread, at ten cents, there is paid for drinks
thirty cents or three times as much for H.
quor as for bread!
1t is estimated that four barrels Of flour
will supply family of five persons with
bread for year. A barrel of flour will
make 264 pounds of bread, and the four bar
res will give 1886 pounds. AT six cents
per pound this is $l5.S4 for each barrel OF
-four, or $62.36 for the four barrels. If this
estimate is too low, take five barrels of -four
for each family of five persons, and the val
ue of bread at six cents a pound is 1920 a
year.
The 1000 families Of five persons each,
constituting the population of the city, con
sumo at this rate bread to the value of 81 )
1900 year.
There are in this city at least four thou
sand places where Intoxicating liquors are
sold. The number in New York and Brook
lyn. in 1866, was 9,270.
Ii these receive on an average $50 q dav
each, that is, $40, 500, 600 year; or at SIS
day each, it is 2l,900,00o year. 1t is
true some Of the drnking-honses are mere
''holes in the WALL but others Of them are
palaces. Some of them take in ouly a few
dollars a day, whie large numbers OF others
take in hundreds OF dollars.
Bat it is not at the drinking houses, or at
public bars where all the Intoxicating Ii.
quors are consumed. AT eating-houses, at
clubs, and at the hotels, are expended large
sums for wine and strong spirits. Thus the
use of strong drink counts up very fast, as
against bread. .-N'etr York Post.

her alone. On her knees she repeated the
psalm. In TIE, Domino, conGde-"In Thee,
0 Lord, have put my trust" Her shoul-
ders being exposed, two scars became visi-
bic, one on either side, and the earls being
now little behind her, Kent pointed to
them with his white wand and looked in
quiringly at his companion. Shrewsbury
whispered that they were the remains of two
assesses from which she had suffered while
living with him at Sheffield.
When the psalm was finished she felt for
the block, and laying down her head, NUT
tered: "h manns, Domino, tdus, commen-
do AMMAN meam" The hard wood seem
ed to hurt her, for she placed her hands un-
der her neck. The executioners gently re-
moved them, les: they should deaden the
blow, and then, one of them holding her
slightly, the other raised the axe and struck.
The scene had been too trying even for the
practiced headsman of the tower. His arm
wandered. The blow fell on the knot of
the handkerchief, and scarcely broke the
skin. She neither spoke nor moved. He
struck again, this time effectively. The
head hung by shred of skin, which he di-
vided without Withdrawing the axe and at

The labored illusion vanished. The lady
who had knelt before the block was in the

cutioner, when he raised the head, as usual,
to show it to the crowd, exposed the wither-

man.

THE REWARD ID.
RY JOHN G. WHITTIER.

Who looking backward from his manhood
prime,
Secs not the spectre of his misspent life?
And through the shade
OF funeral cypress, planted thick behind,
Hears no reproachful whisper on the wind,
From his loved dead?
Who bears no trace Of fashions evil facc2
Who shuns thy sting, 0 terrible rcmorse?
Who does not cast
On the thronged pages of his memory's book,
At times a sad and half reluctant look,
Rcgretful of the past?
Alas the evil which we fain would shun
We do, and leave the wished for good undonc
Our strength to-day
Is but to-mo-row's weakness, prone to fall
Poor, blind, Improbable servants all
Are we alway.
Yet who, thus looking backward DER his years,
Feels not his eyelids wet with grateful tears,
If he hath been
Permitted, weak and sinful as he was
To cheer in some ennobling cause
His fellow men?
IF be hath hidden the outcast, or let In
A ray of sunshine to the cell of sin;
If he hath lent
Strength to the weak, and in an hour.of need,
Over the suffering, mindless of his creed
Or home, hath bent,
He has not lived in vain. And while he gives
The praise to Him in whom he moves and lives,
With thankful heart,
He gazes backward, and with hope before,
Knowing that from His works he never more
Can henccforth part.

On the day referred to he was in church

principles also came to church with his

come in, and fastened it.

The daughters grew up, and the parents not
