wrote a note to brother editor in New

A Splendid Description.
n a certain occasion one Paul Denton

Ont certain occasion one Paul Denton,
a Methodist preacher in Texas, adver-
tised a barbecue, with better liquor than
is usually furnished. When the people
assembled q desperate in the crowd
cried out: "Mr. Paul Denton, your rev.
erence has lied. You promised not only
q good barbecue, but better liquor.
Where's the liquOr2"
"There!" answered the missionary,
in tones of thunder, and pointing his
long, bOny finger at the matchless double
spring, gushing up in two long columns
with a sound like a shout of JOY from
the bosom of the earth. "There! !" he
repeated, with a look terrible as light
ming, while his enemy actually trembled
at his feet; there is the liquor which
God the eternal brews for all his chill
dren. Not in the simmering still, over
es, and surrounded with the stencil of
sickening odors and corruption, doth
your Father in heaven prepare the pre-
clOus essence of life-pure cold water.
But in the glade and grassy dell, where
the deer wanders and the child loves to
play, there God breWs it; and down,
away down in the deepest valleys, where
the fountain murmuTs and rills sing;
and high up Oh the emOuntaiu- tops, where
the naked granite glitters like gold in
the sun, where the storm clouds brood
and the thunder storms crash and out
on the wild, wild sea, where the hur-
rlcane hOWls music and the big waves
roar in chorus, sweeping the march Of
GOd-there He brews 1.-THE beverage
OF, life, Iealth-giving water. ndevery-
where it is a thing of beauty, cleaning
IN the dew drop, singing in the summer
rain, shining in the ice gem, till they
seem turned to living jewels; spreading
a golden veil over the setting sun, or a
white gauze around the midnight moon
sporting in the cataract; sleeping in
glacier; dancing in the hail shower;
folding it's bright curtains softly around
the wintry world, and weaving the many
cOlOred iris, the seraph's zone of the air,
whose warp is in the rain-drops of the
earth, and whose woof is in the sun
beams of heaven, all checkered over
with the celestial flowers OF the mystic
hand of refracti iOn-that blessed life |
water. No poison bubbles on it's brink |
It's foam brings not madness and muir
der; no blood stains it's liquid glass
pale widows and starving children weep |
not burning tears in it's uepths! Speak |
out, my friends-would you exchange |
it for the demon s drink, alcohol ?"
A shout like the roar of the tempest |

Cost GERMAN-FRANcowA

Cost oFTHE GERMAN-FRANco War;
The war of 1870 cost France 9371, 100000,
to which G173,000,000 may be added as
the value of the ceded territory. OF
course the cost to the North German
Confederation was much less, as their
troops operated in the enemy's country
and the commissariat was much better
managed than with the French. The
cost to Germany has been officially stat
ed as G47,000,000, but when peace was
had it not been for French indemnity
a new loan would have been necessary.
The 96,0O0.00O of the German war chest
and the G58,0O0,000 of the war loan must,
therefore, have been exhausted. Com
pared with other modern wars, the cost
of the Franco German war, on the whole,
was moderate, inasmuch as private
compensation is included-seven mill
ions on the German and twenty four
millions on the French side.

How DESTRUCTION OF THE FOREST
GROWTH AFFECTS COUNTRY.-Tht
Khanate of Bokhara affords signal il
lustration of the damage done nv de
nuding country of it's trees. Thirty
years ago the Khanate was one of the
most fertile provinces Of Central Asia,
and, wooded and watered, was re-
garded as an earthly paradise. Five
Years thereaftera mania for forest clear
ing broke out among the inhabitants.
and continued to rage as long as there
remained timber to vent itself. What
trees were spared by rulers and peoplc
were utterly consumed during q civil
war. The consequence of this ruthless
destruction Of the forest growth is now
painfully manifest in the immense dry
and arid wastes. The water courses
have become empty channels and the
system OF canals constructed for artifi-
cial irrigation and supplied from the
living streams has been rendered use
less. The sands of the desert, no longer
restrained by forest barriers, are grad
uallv advancing and drifting over the
land. They win continue their noise
less invasion until the whole Khanate
will become dreary desert, as barren
as the wilderness separating it from
kmVa;; lt ls not supposed that the
Khan has sufficient energy or the means
At hls command to arrest the GiesOlation
that now threatens to spread over his
territories. Theexample is one to stimu-
late enlightened governments to avoid
similar catastrophe by preserving
due proportion of forest land in their
domains, and by restoring those which
have been lmprOvidently laid bare.

An nnnnhlished romanoa of Alexan.

An unpublished romance of Alexan-
der Dumas, the father, is known to ex-
ist, and may shortly be given to the,
public. It has peculiar history. Du-
mas, though he received great deal of
money, never retained much. And he
wished late in life to provide for third
child, an illegitimate daughter; who was
likely to be left penniless in case of his
death. He wrote this romance, there
fore, for her fortune, and certainly she
is well provided for.

fresher the better-whenever O burning

An elderly gentleman of our acquaint-

with distress after eating, has effected
cure by mixing a tablespoonful of
wheat bran in half tumbler of water.
and drinking it half an hour after his
meals. It is necessary to stir quickly
and drink Immediately. or the bran will
adhere to the glass and become pastry.
