Later-Day Warnings.
BY o. W. HOLMES.

When legislators keep the law,
When banks dispense with bolts and locke,
When BcrlIes-whortles rasp and straw
Grow bigger d0JoR1odrdS through the box,
When he that selletb house or land
Shows leak in roof or flaw In right
When haberdashers choose the stand
Whose window hath the broadest light
When preachers tell us what they think
And party leaders all they rieah.-
When what we pay for, that we drink,
From real grape and coiice-bean,-
When lawyers take what they would give,
And doctors give what they would takec-
When city fathers eat to live,
Save when they fast Tor conscience sake
When one that has horse on sale,
Shall bring his merit to the proof,
Without II lie or every nail
That holds the iron on the hoof
When in the usual place for rips,
Our gloves are stitched with special care,
And guarded well the whalebOne tips
Where first umbrellas need repair
When Cubas weeds have quite forgot
The power of suction to resist,
And clarct-bDttes hafbOr not
Such dimples as would hold your fist
When publishers no longer steal
And pay for what they stole before
When the first locomotives wheel
Rolls through the UOosac tunnels BORE
Till then let Cumming blaze away,
And MIller's saints blow up the globe;
But when you see that blessed day,
IHen order your ascension robe!

A Potent Charm.

Twcrty y-thrcc years ago, ,ora little over,
man, who was then young, set I'D in the
grocery and dry goods business in a small
village in Maine. lie was known as
trc,-hcarted. joNial fellow; and as the
habits OF those lines were f5t stch as
they are, happily, n"w, was quite as ready
~ any ofhis nci"hburs in taking a glass or
two ~ rum. Indeed, his best friends be-
came sompw hat alarmed for him, fearing
;hat his tate was likely TO become that of
a sy4rmalic drnnkard. One dat the
clergyman who oiliciated ir tfie district,
happened to say iu Tx. presence of this
nan, (who undoubtedly had supersti-
tious quality about him.) that be had a
charm or amulet, the possessio u of which
would surely lead a man to competence
or fortune. The remark was NOTED, ard
great desire was expressed by the person
III qucsii6n, TO possess such valuable ar
ticlc. The clergyman said he had many
evidences of the efficacy of the article;
bui certain sacrifices were demanded OF
It's poSscssor which he felt afraid his uR-
fortunate friend might promise to make,
but would forget to carry ont, when the
virtue of the charm would depart, and
never Dc GtStOIct. DuL thlS OD1GCIlO0
WIS not allowed to stand in the way of
the receipt OF such valuable boon as
the amulet was to prove, tor the strong
est promises of fidelity to whatever con-,
dition might be imposed were given. Tho.
good pastor gave his consent to trial,
and in due time prodaccd n small pack
age, bound in leather, which he gave to
the young tradcsman, telling hlln that so
long as he kept it about Ills person, and
80 long rs he ever tasted drop of intox-
icatihg liquor, wealth would begin to
come and continue 10 how into Iris Golfers.
The conditions were accepted, and the
amlflet worn until few weeks ago, when
iis owrer died a " orthy, wealthy man.,
After his funeral it was found in one of
the pockets of his clothing, and opened.
The only thing in il vas 4 circular piece
of card, on which could he family dis
ccrned the written words which. consti-
tutcs the moral of this true tale:
"7em0ydte habitS are the s,TeSt sources
IPro4perity, and tie Jest promoters Of
| rtrtue."

Select Poetry.
The Long Past.

Like the ghost Of dear friend dead
Is time long past
A tone which is now forever fed,
A hope which Is now forever past,
A love so sweet it could not last,
Was time long past.
There were sweet dreams in the night
OF time long past;
And, was it sadness or delight,
Each day n shadow onward cast,
Which made us wish it yet might last
That time long pastg
Thefs Is tegrct, almost remorse,
H. For time long past;
'Tis like child's beloved cOrse
A father watches, till at last
Beauty is like remembrance cast
From time long past.
