IA Mrs. Heath has recently recov-
cred a verdict of S256 against a
liquor seller in Norwalk, in this
State. named RAY, for selling the
husband of the plaintiff liquor. A
wife lately, in Akron, recovered
damages of a whisky seller for blue
ruin sold to her husband. If on
the top of such money verdicts
there could be laid all the tears and
groans, the sleepless nights and
anxious days, the mental suffering
and the bodily pain caused by the

The SMALLPOX.

The smallpox is inficting fearful
havoc in several localities far re-
moved from each other. In Lon
don, during the first week of Janu-
ary, 70 persons died, while during
the third week of the same month
the mortality for the same cause was
1888. The total number of deaths
in the week was 1,S46, so that small
pox carried off over ten per cent, Of
the whole, an average three times
higher than at any time since the
passage of the compulsory vacci-
nation act of 1858.
This remarkable increase Of vir-
nlence is not attributable to any in
efficacy Of vaccination. In one of
the hospitals forty one per cent of
the unvaccinated patients died,
while all but five per cent ofthe vac
cinated recovered.
In the Saskatchewan district Of
British America two thousand per
sons have died of an epidemic, be-
lieved by some to be smallpox, but
by Others pronounced to be some
different disease; vaccination ap-
pearing to do little or no good. In
New York city smallpox is also very
prevalent. 1t will be remem-
bered that for months previous to
the war the deaths from this mala-
dy in Paris were very numerous,
many cases battling the best skill of
the physicians. There is need ev-
for more rigid enforce
ment of the laws respecting vac
or for the passage of suit
able enactments where the present
regulations are Detective Gin.

NY WILLIAM WINTER.

NY WILLIAM WINTER,
Rosy hours Of youth and fancy
Happy hours Of long agOl
All the playful, pictured memories
Let us catch them rs they flow.
Galaxles Of blue-oyed Marys,
With Julia ora Jane,
Or a troop Of little Lauras
Laugh and blush and romp again.
Moonlight meetings evening rambles,
When the night was still around,
And sweet voice softly murmurlng,
Ora kiss, the only sound.
These remember And remember
How the kind stars shOne above,
Keeping in their softened splendor,
Watch and ward upon our love.
Youth is as diamond dawning-
Bold 1t breaks TO gorgeous DAY;
Heavenly lights of power and beauty
Glance and CLEAN along its way.
Far within the mighty future
There be solemn voices heard;
Shaped TO many stately anthem,
Floats the music OF word.
But that music, in the present,
Softly drOOps with sad decay,
Till its echo In the spirit
Faints and falls and dies away.
Green be then, the tender memory
OF the Past, forever sped;
That our youth may be immortal,
Though its days and dreams are dead
