n
By wretch on the road;
.ss A wretch with want dying,
An infant was crying
In her arms, and she seemed broken down
with her load.
Pat drew anon near;
He heard the babe cry,
And big Irish tear
Rolled down from his eye.
He tried to conceal it,
But his heart would reveal it
As the tale of the fallen was told with 9
sigh.
He gave her advice;
But this was not all,
For his tools in a trice
From his grasp he let fall,
And deep from that socket
That men call a pocket
He drew forth his bottle, his purse, and
his all.
And he shook the seed dime
From his old "seedy" purse,
That he'd kept since the time
That he play'd with his nurse;
Twas his last and his only,
And Pat loved it fondly,
For he'd kept it through hunger, through
tatters, and worse.
Through many bout,
Through pain and through gloom,
Through dirt, darkness, doubt,
bikes, bitches and doom,
In life's every station,
From nation to nation
He had cherished that seed of fortune
to bloom.
''Here, take it." he said,
"Last night had more,
But the ground was my bed,
And this morn was poor
Idelve for my living,
But wasting and giving
Soon hurries me back to my ditch in the
moor"
He turned him apart
When he'd told her all that;
His big Irish heart
Felt as large as his hat,
AS it throbb'd and it futtered
With delight never uttered
Save when it was told in the bosom of Pat.
He delved the week thro'
And he made the dirt fly,
And his ditch longer grew
As his bottle grew dry; .,--.
The task was diminished
Till at last it was finished, -.
And his pay was in hand and his holiday
nigh.
O Saturday eve! 70
1t is Patrick's delight,
For it comes to relieve
His fatigue with fight,
For buffets and bruising
And whiskey's ill-using
Is the cream that Pat skins from his day
of respite.
Harki fight; but not his,
Yet he enters with zest,
And bears his broad phiz
For the weak and oppressed.
The fight is all over,
And night with its cover
Hides penniless Pat as he grounds him to
rest.

The Vagabond Sage.

An old man of very active physiog-
nomy, answering to the name of vii
mot, was brought to the Police Court.
His clothes looked as though they
might have been bought secondhand
in his youthful time, for they suffered
more from rubs of the world than the
proprietor himself.
"What business?"
"None. Pm a traveller"
ga vagabond, perhaps?"
"You are not far wrong. Travellers
and yagabonds are about the same
thing. The difference is that the lat
ter travel without money and the for
mer without brains"
"Where have you travelled?"
Cali over the continent"
''For what purpose?"
''For observation" ......
@What have you observed?"
GA little to commend, much to CEN
sure, and great deal to laugh at
''Humph! what do you commend? ?''
ga handsome woman who will stay
at home; an eloquent preacher that
will preach short sermons; a good
writer that will not write too much
and a fool that has sense enough to
hold his tongue"
"What do you censure?"
ga man that marries a girl for her
fine clothing;a youth that studies med
icine while he has the use of his hands;
and the people who will elect a drunk
ard to office" ......
"What do you laugh at?"
"l laugh at a man who expects his
position to command that respect
which his personal qualifications and
qualities do not merit"
He was dismissed.

A wonder is Pat,
AS he trudges along
With his old slouched hat
Through the worlds busy throng,
Nor caring, nor fearing,
But hero-like bearing
The butt-end of labor and lash-end of
wrong.
I saw him one day
With his shovel and spade
And his pipe, march away
To his ditch in the glade,
While out of that socket
That men call pocket
His bottles neck shone like the smile of

His coarse overshirt Ef
Was tattered and torn,
His pants full of dirt,
And his shoes they were worn;
But his shovel was cleaning,

The Civil Damage Liquor Law.

The New York Evening Post one Of the
strongest and most influential of Republic
can papers, and ut the same time an eX-
clusively candid sheet, tavorS the western
law which while licensing liquor sellers,
makes them responsible in civil damages.
1t contends that wherever the so-called
"Ohio law, OF that requiring the liquor
sellers to pay damage for any injury to
persons OF property resulting from the
sale of liquor has been fully enforced, it
has been found very etfectual, and there
fore it is natural that the liquor interest
should devote all its energies to the multi
tcation OF this kind of temperance legisla-
ton. Recently the Mayor of Milwaukee,
taking counsel perhaps of his own wishes,
refused to require the liquor sellers to take
out licenses under the law of Wisconsin,
alleging in defence that the law was I'M
constitutional a case was brought in
court requiring him To obey the provisions
of the law. Ills attorneys defended him
ingeniouSly, first on the ground that the
law was inconsistent with itself, and there
fore Of no effect in that it licensed the
sale of liquor and then punished the seller
for acts done under his licence; second
that the statute Law violated the common
law i'll making the seller responsible Tor
very remote consequences of his act; and
third that it was possible for the drunk
ard through other members Of his family
to profit BY his own crime The Supreme
Court has decided the case against the MAY
on, affirming that the law is constitutional
and sound in law, the State having a right
to prohibit OF regulate the sale of liquor
as it sees fit.
In several other States Il law has been
sustained by the courts. and the result has
been very marked Iowa is cited espec-
tally rs having given heavy yerdcts TO
those who have suffered from the conse-
quenceS Of liquor selling, and the provis-
ions Of the law there are 50 clearly detin-
ed and the law is so popular. that the H.
quor sellers have not had the courage to
appeal a case to the Supreme Court. The
working of the law, so far, seems to prove
that it is both more en'ectlla and more
luSt than either the absolute prohihitory
law OF the simple license without the civ
il damages clause

amount ct breadstufls produced. Now as
to the consumption Of the same article
Upon this point Mr. Delmar says: The
utmost capacity Of a population to con-
sumo grain in the form of food, is eight to
ten bushels per capita per annum What
it consumes beyond this amount must be
for seed, for the food for animals. for the
manufacture of spirits fcrmented liquors,
sugar OF starch, or for fuel. England con-
tains one of the best ted populations in the
world, nevertheless the entire consumption
of grain i'll England, including the enor-
NOUS quantities converted into starch and
| beverages, or ted to animals, is less than
sixteen bushels per capita per annum; yet
the world at large produces nearly twenty
bushels per capita, and the precious staff
OF life is thrust into the stoves of our west
ern farmers for fuel
| OF course these statements of Mr. Del
mar are based upon 4 broad and compre-
henslle view of the whole subject. While
| the general yield of breadstutfs is so af-
fluent, in particular countries there may be
a scarcity. But this, it is claimed, does
not impair the value or accurateness of
the general conclusions "Remoteness in
one place, imperfect social regulations in
another, temporary vicissitudes in third,
Il stress of bad weather in tourth-these
are mere local orcxceptional perturbations.
and do not affect the subject as a whole
| The question that stands prominently
out Is, when all the facts are considered.
''lS the world producing too much food ?
| If 50, where shall we sell our brcal.tut1S
prolitablN? And if we can sell them no.
where, and must utilize them deleteriously
or uneconomically by converting them into
bad whisky and bad fuel had we not bet
ter bcstoW a greater part of our attention
than now upon other industries ?" In
certain portions Of the United States at the
present time farmers are forming Oranges,
and associations of various kinds, for the
purpose Of protecting their interests. They
maintain the difficulty lies in unjust com
bmations of transporting interests. But
the facts and theory of Mr. Delmar opened
Il different view Oh the whole matter-a
broader yiew-and one that should com
mand the serious attention of all classes OF
people in this and other countries
