He Couldn't Drink Wine,

That was a noble youth who, on being
urged to take wine ut the table OF II IA
nous statesman, in Washington, had the
moral courage to refuse. He was a DOOR
young man, just beginning the struggle
of life He brought letters to The great
statesman, who kindly invited him home
to dinner.
Mot take Il glass of wine 2" said the
great statesman in wonderment and sur
prise.
"Not one simple glass OF wine?' echoed
the statcsman's beautiful and fascinating
wife, as she arose, glass in hand, and,
with u grace that would have charmed an
anchorite, cndeavored TO press il upon
him.
No" said the heroic youth resolutcly
gently repelling the prottered glass.
What picture of moral grandeur was
that. A poor, triendless youth refusing
wine at the table Of wealthy and fa-
nous statesman, even though prof1ered
by the fair hands Of beautiful lady.
No" said the noble young man, and
his voice trembled little and his cheeks
flushed. "Inever drink wine, but-(nere

PICTURES A room with 4 picture
in it and Il room without pictures differ
nearly as much as q room with OF without
windows. Nothing, we think, is more
melancholy, particularly to a person who
has to pass much time in his room, than
blank walls; for pictures are loopholes
of escape to the mind leading it to other
scenes and other spheres. 1t is such an
inexpressible relief to a person engaged
in writing or even reading, on looking
up, to find his soul escaping. us it were,
through a frame of an exquisite picture
to other beautiful and perhaps idylic
scenes, where the fancy for a moment
revels, refreshed and delighted. Is it
Winter in your world? Perhaps it is
Summer in the picture. What a charm
ing momentary change and contrast And
thus they are CONSIDERS of loneliness; they
are sweet batteries to the soul they are
windows to the imprisoned thought; they
are books; they are history and sermons
which we can read without the trouble of
turning over the leaves.

crest of this lower hill, falling away sufli-
ciently to give the water free course
Openings are made at intervals in the
lower bank of the ditch through which
the water runs, spreading over the ground
below. This has been in operation ten
years, and Mr.. Greeley thinks the produc-
ton of the two acres which it waters has
been doubled. The cost of the dam and
water-cOurse was about S90-double what
it ought to have been, he says although
he engineered it himself
While We were following the line of the
ditch across this little pasture, he dis
covered that the water was all running
out u few rods from the dam. the ditch
being perfectly dry for more than three
fourths its length. The result of this
partial irrigation was n belt OF thrifty
| smart weed running nearly across the
pasture. This discovery worried Mr.. Gree
ley considerably and with some other
neglected things on the farm furnished
| the main subject of conversation at the
dinner table.
''Stuart," he said, to his foreman. 81

and fix that ditch after dinner Garretsee
says that barn grass in the upper orchard

wants trimming, too; the limbs hang clear
down to the ground. You must slick up
u little; everything looks shittless and
neglected; this running for president and

One man with any trade is worth a
thousand without one. A return TO the
old plan Of apprenticing boys 10 trades is
being advocated. The hosts Of young
men in every large city who apply for en-
plOyment and fail to get it, for the reason
that they cannot truthfuly affirm that they
are educated or especially fitted for any
particular business, constitute a potent
argument in favor of reform. Under the
apprentice system we should have fewer
ignorant mechanics and incompetent busl-
ness men. A trade is half a mans fortune.

wethcr noticed an open window, and re-
cognlzing his destiny, made Il strike for

critical situation and, with lee stretched
toward each cardinal point Of the compass,
he uttered plaintive Ma-an and de-
scended to his fate. The next sheep and

God never forgets any of His creatures.
1t don't matter how far a man worders in
sin and shame, he never can reach II point
where the love OF God will not surround
him, and where omnipotencc will not be
exerted to save. The world may despise
our weakness and contemn our wicked
ness, and refuse forgiveness for our errors; !;
friends may desert in misfortune, and de-
ny us in disgrace; our very parents or
children may say, eve know not the
man !" but though we violate every law
of God, and bury ourselves in the very
nell, there is one without change or vari-
ableness, whose laws are infinite and per-
petllal, and whose very life flows down
into everything that exists. This is the
one consolation when all else fails.

Protection AE.inst Fires

The late disastrous fires in New York, follow
ing upon the great conhagration in Boston, have
caused renewal Of the discussion how to avoid
or suppress fires. Ii Is found that the fault can
not be fastened upon any one scape-goat like
the mansard roof, for all kinds of roof and ALI
kindsof building material-wood, brick, stone
and iron-hsve, in turn. proved unreliable
when the test has come. And, especially, when
a hire has gained full Roadway, all kinds Of ma
terial seem alike incapable Of resisting the in
tense heat. Brick stands the best, but
even this proves inadequate, mainly because
of the defective mode Of structure, the thin
ness OF the walls, &C., in modern build.
ing work. The moral seems to be that we
must reform our cheap, hasty style of run
ming up walls and return to the old solid
and thorough style of building. In the old
times, when people built houses substantially
for their own use, the outside walls of brick
houses we're made from Is to % inches In thick
ness, and party walls inches. NOWADAYS the
walls of our brick houses are not more than half
this thickness, being seldom more than inches
for party walls, inches for side walls and "a
inches for front WALLS. The result is that i'm case
OF fire the modern brick wall crumbles almost
inevitably, affords no stay to the flames, and is
worthless for use again in rebuilding; while the
Old time walls were almost never known To fall.
and were nearly as serviceable as new walls in
the work of reconstruction after q fire. III va

hsyestTingent building laws, vigilantly enforcsd.
We must abandon our cheap shams and return
to GOOD honest work.
