FROM A BARREL TO A WAsH-TUB.-
The revenue laws must be rigidly enforced
IN the Sixth district. In one of the pretty
little towns, net long since, the revenue OF.
ncer's wife was left in charge of the office
tor some days, and every one knew that
she was as fully at home at the head of the
Office, or two or three of them, "a at the
head of her kitchen.
"A fire broke out in the Office of the En-.
culpator, and a barrel OF whisky was
placed in fearful danger. Men worked
bravely to save it, and even gotit in place
OF safety. when they discovered that the
rough usage given it by loving hands had
strained the barrel and the precious LIQUOR
was fast wasting its sweetness on the pave
ment. Little Mrs. Bird had lust seated
herself to tea when message came that
half dozen men were in the office and de-
sired to see her Immediately. So she went
down and found them clamorous for per-
mission to change the packagei Now Mrs.
Bird is temperance woman as well as
revenue officer, and one also with fine ap.
probation of the ludcrous. She asked the
owner for a statement of the facts, and
perhaps required the necessary affidayits,
and then gave permission to put the whis-
Ky in wash-tub. They left with aston
ishlng abruptness as soon as the permission
was obtained, but there was a great deal of
sorrow that night for lost liquor.

While some public. spirited citizens of Rich.

tifc lectures for the young. This he did.
