How the Money Goes.

Not long since, occupying chair IN
n barber shop, says the Eric R'Pubheah,
We overheard a gentleman, whom We
know 20 be rather free and easy liver,
and drinkcr too, for that matter, though
he never let the fluid get the better of
him, relate his experience of keeping
an account of the amount II had cost
him To stand treat for the year 1870.
He said he knew his manner Of lie was
a sad draw on his finances. and on tho
first of the past year hc determined 10
see how much he rcaly wasted in crook
inc lis elbows, and other similar amusc-
mcnts and 10 that end he put down
every night the amount be had spent
during the day On the iirst Of Jan,
1871. he footed up his account, and it
amounted TO between seven aud eight
hundred dollars. These figures startled
him, and he has concluded during the
year 1871 To allow all his friends TO
stand treat The moral is obvious so
much so that another gentleman Of our
acquaintance to whom we related tie
circumstance. and who for years has
been in the habit Of indulgipg in lager;
thought he too would try the expert
mcnt and see If lie could not stop the
leak in his finances, and also an almost
chronic headache and bad temper, 80 he
has given up his lager, and in the place
Of it takes hi'fy ce"fs, just the cost Of
six glasses Of the beverage, and careful
Is lays it away. When the sum taken
care Of amounts 10 five dollars he de-
posts it in the Savings Bank lie has
been trying this experiment for month
and finds il works well, and he is fully
determined TO keep this thing going
Besides this he SAYS that be returns

LIFE.
nv FATHER RYAN.
A Baby played with the surpliccd sleeve
Of the gentle Priest-while In accents low
The sponsor murmured the grand l believe"
And the Priest made the mystic waters flow
In the name Of the Father, Of the Son,
And Of the Holy Spirit Three In One.
Spotlcss as a lilys leaf!
Whittier than the Christmas snowl
Not shadc Of sin Or grief
And the Babe laughed sweet and low.
A smile fitted over the Isaby's face
Or was It the CLEAN Of its angels wing
Just passing then! and leaving trace
OF it, presence, ~ 1t scared to sing
A hymn. when words and waters win
To grace and life child Ut sin7
Not an outward sign or token
That the child was saved from woe
But the bonds Of sin w'r e broken.
And the Babe laughed sweet and low.
A cloud rose up to the Mothers eyes
Aud ont Of the cloud gricf's rain fell fast;
Came the Baby's = ailcs and the Mothers sighs
Out VI the Future, or the Past7
All ! CLEAN and gloom must ever meet,
Aud gall must mingle with the sweet!
Yes! upon her Baby's laughter
Tricklh tcars--tis always sO-
Mothers dread the dark Hereafter
But her Babe laughed sweet and low.
And the years. like waves, broke on tho shore
Of the Mothers heart and the Baby's life
But her lone heart drfted away before
Her little boy knew an hour Of strife!
Drifted away ON a summer eve
Ere the orphaned boy knew how to gricve.
Her humble grave was gently made
Where the roses blo0mcd in summers glow;
The wild birds .ang where her heart was laid,
Aud her Boy--Iaughcd sweet aud low.
lie hoatcd away from his Mothers grave.
Like fragile flower on bright streams tide!
Till he heard the moan Of the mighty wave
That welcomed the stream to the ocean wide!
Out from the shore and over the deep,
lie sailed away--and he learned to weep!
Furrowed grew the face once fair
Under storms Of human woe;
Silver grny, the bright rOwn hair;
And he walled 10 sad and low.
And years swept on. as crst they swept;
Bright wavclets once-wild bil!ows now;
Wherever he sailed he ever wcpt,
And cloud hung DER his brow,
Over the deep ard iut0 the dark.
But 10 one knew where sank ais bark.
Wild roses watched the Mothers tomb,
The world sti|l laughed--'tis ever 30;
God only knew the Baby's doom,
That laughed 80 sweet and low.

duties was to send reports Of American Gus.

report OF the affair, made careful drawings
OF all the incidents that took place. procured
small model of the gallows, from the cross
beam ot which was suspended u string. ut
the end of which q wooden mapikin was
hung by the neck; and then he sent his re.
port, model and drawings to the japanese
government. The high authorities admired
the American style of execution, and do.
ter,nined to make experiments in It as soon
@ possible. They accordingly ordered tho
erection OF iaii sized working gsllows,
under the snnervisiOn of an intelligent
American resident In Yokohama, who was
formerly dramatic critic of the New York

Orient de France."-apparently \ mighty
dignitary Of the order-has addressed cir.
culsr letter to the membership which looks
up to him for guidance. concerning the ef-
fccts of tho late war on their relations to one
smother. 1t appears that Masonry perform.
ed an honorable part in the national defense
and remained . stranger To the insurrcc,ion;
that there is no connection between its
teachings and the doctrines of the CJm-
mune. and that If few men tried to trans
form the pacific hammer Of Masonry into u
flag Of civil war, the Grand Orient repudi
a,es them rs having proved faithless to their

of France with the Masons of Germany pre-.

for ''the crimes of Prussian policy" the
Grand Orient Of France must Cease to have
anything to do with the brethren beyond

works very hard for her living. In the
palmy days Of Harry Meiggs she deposited
with him no less I'm amount than t2,5OO,
and when Meiggs and her money were gone,
the time in which woman could lay up 20
large sum from the profits Of her business
was gone also. But she washed on, and
kept her head above wstcr. Some two or
three months ago she rcad in the Ooerlaad
AonAlly, or some other publication, of how
much money her old banker had made in
South America by building railroads, and
with beautiful faith in human nature.
which cannot he too highly commended.
she embarked upon the Panama steamer and
wended her way to the sultry South; where
Meiggs now holds sway. She sought the
millionaire In the gorgeous residence 80
graphically described in the Oeerlaad. and
presented her bank book and told her tale.
Mciggs listened, aud when she he'd finished
he handed her check for the amount Of
the deposit aud interest from iis date to the
time Of payment. She departed wealihier

The use Of intoxicating beverages is stead.

Six hundred millions were spent for liquor
in the country during the past year; for
stimulants Of other kinds a proportionately
alarming amount. Nearly two millions of
opium were sold. Native wines and light
beverages form the largest proportion of
the amount consumed. II may, perhaps, bs
doubted, whether incbriatOn increases in
