He has no thought of stopping,
But YOU greet him with a smile,
And you seem 30 blithe and friendly
That he pauses to chat awhile.

With q foaming glass Of liquor
Holding IN either hand.

Drink! pledge me just this onel7
And he lifts the glass and drains it,
And the he1lish work is done.
And the next 1 will paint drunkard +;
Only a year has flown,
But into this loathsome creature
This fair young boy has growPs
The work was quick and rapid;
1 will paint him as he lies,
In torpid, drunken slumbsr,
Under the Wintry skies.
/ will paint the form of the mother
As she kneels at her darling's side
Her beautiful boy that was dearer
Than all the world beside.
I will paint the shape Of coffin
Labelled with the one word "LOst !"
I will paint all this, rum-selleT,
And paint it free Of cost.
The sin, and the shame, and sorrow,
The crime and want and woe,
That is born there in your rum-shop,
No hand can paint, you know;
But nj paint you sign, rumseIler,
And many shall pause to view
This wonderful swinging sign-boaFd,
So terribly, fearfully true.

Danbury News Item.

A Danbury young man, who was once
q clerk, lately went on farm to work.
The first night in his new position he
was detailed to remove a calf from the
apartments of its parent to another
shed, and while engaged, as thousands
have been before him, in showing the
contrary beast along, the mother reach
ed under the tails of his coat with her
horns, and suddenly lifted him up
against the roof Of the building with
force that threatened to shatter every
bone in his body. The first thing he
did on returning to earth was to rub
himself, the next thing was to throw up
his place. He said he didn't doubt that
agriculture was noble pursuit, and
that the farmer needed an assistant in
the discharge of his multifarious duties,
but he didn't believe the Creator de-
signed him for making sky-lights in cow"
sheds.

Humorists of England.

Without humor society would exist
in Icelandic SHOWS wit, like the winter
sun, might CLINT upon the icebergs, but
they would not be plastic in his glance;
calm, lofty, and cold they must remain.
But humor is the summer heat that gen
crates while it smiles-the power which
| touches dead things and revivifies them
with its generous warmth and geniallty.
Wit engages and amuses the individual
intellect; humor knits hearts together;
| is, in truth, in broad sense, that
"touch of nature which makes the
whole world kin" Now the world may
be regarded as being composed OF three
classes, namely. those of US who laugh,
those with whom we laugh, and those at
whom we laugh and the tendefest So
licitude is experienced by each unit OF
humanity lest, through some fOrtuitous
circumstances, he should irretrievably
find himself denizen of the last-nam-
ed class. To some of the first class is
given the power of directing the laugh
ter of others, and this power is current
as wit when to the faculty of original"
ing ridicule is added the power of con-
centrating pity or pathos upon the sub
ject, this may be styled humor. But
the irony must be subjugated to the
feeling. The heart must love while the
oountenonce may smile. It will, then,
be perceived, in view of these dlstlnc-
tions, how the humorist may assert
claim in all great and essential things
superior to that which can be advanced
by the wit. Humorists are the salt of
the national intellectual life England,
who occasionally claims questionable
superiority in some respects over the
nations, may, in the growth of genuine
humor, be allowed the pre-eminence.
Germany approaching her perhaps in
the nearest degree. What other htera-
ture, since the days of Elizabeth, can
show such roll of humorists as that
which is inscribed with the names
(amongst others) of Richardson, Addi-
son, Steele, Prior, Gay, smollett, Field
ing, sterne, and Goldsmith? Yet after
the closing names of this galaxy dearth
was witnessed like that which immedi-
ately preceded their advent. 1t appears
as though the soil of literature, having
grown to it's utmost capacity the pro-
duct of humor, demanded time to
cuperate it's powers. During the past
80 or 40 years another growth sprang
up. and Hood, Lamb, and other inheri-
tors of the marvellous gift, have snrich-
ed the world with the perfume of their
lives and works. Amongst the latest
band of humorists, however, there is no
name more remarkable or more justly
distinguished than that of Thackeray,

The Washington Star has an article Oh
tho O'Kelly case, which is believed to reflect
the opinions and feelings in official quarters.
In the case of O'Kelly, it must be remember
al that he went to Cuba as an independent
paturalized American citizen, not as parti-
san. and that he has never disguised nor at
tempted to disguise his true character. He
requested permission to go into the Cuban
lines as a newspaper correspondent, and the
spanish authorities gave him leave to go, but
also gave him the comforting assurance that
be would be shot if he returned. Subsequent
" the Spanish General in whose jurisdiction
O'Kelly was, modified his threat and said he
vopld Danish him if lie returned. O'Kelly re-
turned was arrested, and orders given for his
trial as a spy by court marital. A late dispatch
saws that two letters from President Cespedes
we're found on his person, and if this is true,
bis cass ia made considerably worse. There
ia no Disgusting the fact that O'Kelly has been
guilty Of a serious offense, that the Spanish
authorities would be justified in sending him
out of the country, but they are not warranted
by the fact in treating him as . spy, for the
reasons that he lacks the distinctive features
Of a spv. viz: disguise. We trust that Gen.
Torbett, the American Oonsul-deneral at Ha-
vana has taken firm stand in the matter,
and has plsoed O'Kelly's case in such light
IN the Spanish authorities that they will con-
tent themselves by sending him ont Of the
country As matter of policy they would
find it a great blunder to execute him.

THE PHILOSOPHY OF LOVE.

In the last instalment of Mr.. Herbert
spencer's exposition of the philosophical
system which is to give us an explana
tion-so far as an explanation can be
oiven-of the whole universe, We meet
with an interesting passage upon the
passion of love. The advocates of the
evolution hypothesis are sometimes
called materialists. That word is too
ofts used, as atheist" is used in theo-
logical OF a good round oath in poular
discussion, simply to indicate disagree
ment coupled with moral disapproval.
The fallacy which it involves in this case
might be asily exhibited. The genuine
materialists Of the last century were, in
fact, given to maintaining that our
loftiest sentiments were merely modif-
cations of the most earthly instincts.
"Lust through some certain stFainerS well refined
Is gentle love"
according to Pope; and some very
eauivocal sermons have been preached
upon this text. Superficial readers
have fancied that, because Mr.. Darwin
or Mr.. Herbert Spencer believes that
nan has been evolved by inconceivably
minute changes from some inferior
organism, therefore our emotions and
thoughts are nothing but transforms
tions of the blind sensations of the low
est forms of life. The misconceptions is
palpable. Science might oonceivably
show under what condition intellect
first manifested itself, but it would not
be one step the nearer to discovering
what was the essence of intellect. Il
might explain the how, but can throw
no light upon the what. Thus We find
that Mr.. Herbert Spencer's description
of the passion called love has nothing il
il calculated to shock the most spirituaI
philosopher. 1t is, he says, an emotion
Of the highest complexity, and conse
quently of the greatest strength. AROUND
the purely physical elements gather al
varieties of powerful emotions, which
blend and unite in the closest harmony
First come all the impressions which are
produced by the beautiful, the expla
nation Of which would involve lone
and most difficult analysis. Then w
have the sentiments of affection, whiel
| may exist between persons Of the sam'
sex, but which undergoss special ex
altation when existing between lovers
Next come the sentiments of admiration
or reverence: and, beyond them again
the love Of appreciation, which is keenl.
excited by the knowl edge that we ar
preferred to all theworld, and preferre'
| by one whom we admire beyond Al
others. Allied to this is the sentimen
of self-approval, when we are fatteret
by the sense of the great merits to whic
we owe 30 great triumph. Beyon
thia is the proprietary, or the pleas
| ure of mutual possession. And, finally
there is an exaltation of the sympath1e
when our pleasures are heightened 3
| the close participation of another perso
| in all our enioyments. We not inquir
whether this analysis is complete 9
accurate /; ut any rate, it illustrate
| pretty fairly the Amazing complexity {
