wine ana water.

A story is told OF two well-known mer-
chants OF this city, one OF whom has quite q
reputation as a connoisseur in matters Of
taste. Dining at the others table, the lat
ter was particularly requested TO taste OF a
very choice wine which the host sent him,
and give his opinion. The man Of taste
slipped FROM his glass, set II down, and re-
sumed conversation with his next neigh
Dor at the board. The host, observing this,
took the first opportunity Of challenging
his guest for an opinion, with a sly look at
some friends as n lie was bound 10 show
how fallacioLs were judgments in wine
tasting.
''Say, my dear Beeswing, you don't tell
me what you think Of the wine ! sent you"
Beeswing looked at the glass without
raising 1t, and quietly said, "no."
"Well, now," said the host, "I wish you
would really give me your honest opinion
Of that wine, Beeswing."
Excuse me-" said the other, deprecat.
ingly, "Pd rather not"
By this time the attention Of the whole
table was directed to the dialogue. "But 1
insist" urged the bost "for you have such
a reputation for taste want your opinion
now and on this wlne."
at will hardly be courteous" said Bees
wing, ITO give an honest opinion of the
wine while partaking Of the hospitalities Of
the host"
Certainly it will out with 1t, Bees
wing; we are all friends here. Splendid

"The wine may he good, but 1t is water
ed"
"What," said the host reddening to tho
roots OF his hair at this unexpected reply.
"Wateredf You're mistaken; taste 1t
again."
"Yes, watered," said Beeswing, taking
another sip and setting his glass down up
on the table. ..r
"Well, now, look here, Beeswing, my
boy, for once in your life you are nlistak en-,
for my father bought two casks Of that
wine abroad it came home in the same
ship with him 1t was unloaded opposite
his warehouse on India wharf under his
eye and hoisted up into lon over his
| own counting-room, where after q few
months ripening he had man come and
bottle II under his own supervision he
then sent 1t up TO his own cellar, which
since his decease has come into my possess
sion, and his wax seal on the bottle is that
which is broken tonight. So acknowledge,
my dear Beeswing, that you are mistaken
about its being watered wine."
''Can't acknowledge anything OF the
kind" said the obstinate Beeswing, "for
remember your fathers importation of that
wine very well. Charley Van Blanc, John
Magnum, and myself were your fathers
clerks at that time, and we had a good
many surrepiitious drinks out of those
casks while the liquor was 'ripening' in the
lon, and always took care whenever we
drew out any TO turn back the same guam

were closed forever, the yellow hair was
parted over the boyish brows, and still
about the brave, sweet mouth the bright
smile played as II did at that first moment
of our meeting, when my implied doubt Of
him called IL there. He lay before me dead,
in all The glow and promise Of his youth.
But the smile which triumphed above
deaths ruin, rebuked me, and as stopped
to kiss the lips OF the beautiful boy, knew,
as well as man could know, that he was
not dead that He who had given more

SPRING has its own charms, especially
for young people, who have it within their
breast. think. perhaps, as We get older
and are saddened by the gloomier ex-
periences Ol life, that the recurrence OF the
earliest leaves and flowers do not always
increase our cheerfulness very much. We
know too we'll the limits OF a year, how
short space 1t is, how little that will be
satisfactory aflerward can be done In 1t
while il lasts. We think of the other
spriRgs that now lie far behind US, and
how we lost them In vain pleasures or
pTofitless labor that seems to us still more
vain. Spring is much rather the season OF
poets than OF painters. What delights Us
Ia the spring is more a sensation than an
appearance more hope than any visible
reality. There is something in the softness
of The air, in the lengthening Of the days,
In the very sounds and odors Of the sweet
time, that caresses and consoles us after
tha rigorous weeks of winter. 1t Is natural
that poets should love the spring. whlcl
comes to them with a thousand flowers
with the songs OF birds, with purer, bright
or light, aud such refreshment that 1t Is
like a fountain of jouvence.-Philip q.

The needles have dropped from her nerveless hand
As she watches the dying embers glow,
For out from the broad old chimney-plAce
Come ghobtly shadows Of "long ago;"
Shadows that carry back again
To the time Of her ehildhood's Artless JOY;
Shadows that show her tiny row
OF stockings awaiting the Christmas. toy;
Shadows that show her the faces loved
OF many hAlf-forgotten friend;
And the ChriatmAs-sve IL Is passing by.
While Pas. and Present in shadows blend.
Alone in .he dear old homestead now,
with only the shadows Of "Aud Lang syne,"
The clock is ticking the moments on,
while the tears In her aged eyes still shine.
II only out from tho silent world
The world Of shadows which mock her So
One might return TO his vacant chair,
To tit with her in the fre-light's glow
II only wAsthst a white, white hand
That seemed to bsekon her out Of the gloom?
Or was It the embers last bright fash
That startled the shadows round the room?
The ChristmAs-eve IL has passed at length;
glorious day from the night Is born;
The shadows are gone from earth away
And the bells are ringing for Christmas morn.
But, an by the broad old ehimney-place
The angel Of death keeps watch alone,
For straight to the ChriEt-child's bsekoning arms
A longing spirit hath gladly flown.

COMM THRo' THE RYE."-The question
whether ''the rye' in Burnss song was
river or a field Of grain has ELECTED letter
from DIR. Waddell of Glasgow, editor and
biographer of Burns, who makes the fol-
lowing among other points: 1t was very
comm n long ago, and still is, 10 have
small !eaten foot paths through corn fields
and grass fields leading to other fields, or
to wells, or to adjacent houses, etc., and on
these foot paths, when passengers met, 1t
would be very difficult indeed to pass with
out jostling or else going aside into the
growing crop. In the particular ease sup
posed, a salutation was exchanged, with
out offense, and it may be presumed with
out improperly. 1t could be hardly pos
sible indeed, TO avoid 1t. All doubt as TO
the true meaning of the word in question
is set at rest by the Typography. The word
throughout the song, in BurDs's own edi-
tion, is printed invariably with a small r.
II the word had been the name Of river 1t
would have capital undoubtedly for
Burns was addicted to the use OF capitals,
even where they were not required, and
would never have omitted a given capital
through an entire song in the same word,
if the capital had been essential TO the
meaning of the word. DIR. Waddell fur
ther says that "the difficulty has originated
in total misapprehension of circumstan-
ces by the writers. The song does not re-
fer to any rustic gallantrios in the harvest
field at all, bnt 10 very rare salutatiou
where it could not be avoided. Jenny was
probably some simple-minded. harnlless
creature, employed to 60 messages from
one house or village TO another, through
the fields, and the whole burden Of heI
complaint is that very unexpected COM
pliment on the way had been made a sub
| iect Of ridicnle In the neighborhood."

Sewerage and Drainage OF tho chy.
letter from Mr.. Charles H. Haswell, the well
known engineer, in which he handles with
knowledge and capacity the problems within
the sphere of his art that relate to the bad
condition Of the city as to sewerage and
drainage. It is a fact sufficiently notorious
that the health Of the city is exceptionally
bad, when the circumstances are within our
reach to make it exceptionally good; and
while this fact is obvious the needs are that
the specific sources and operations of the
causes Of our bad condition sanitarily should
be pointed out and the remedy distinctly
indicated 1t is for the physicians to do the
first and the second is evidently
within the domain Of the engineers.
Last Sunday we laid before our
readers in the convincing, effective
and earnest letter Of DR.. A. X. Gardner from
which the signature was inadvertently
omitted, the outline and nature Of our
troubles with regard to public health. 1t
was therein shown that we are practically
saturating ourselves and everything about
us with deadly miasmatic emanations that
the made and underlined land on which so
many thousands of our houses are built is
packed with miasm that it comes to US on
every breeze that we drink malarious water
cooled with ma.arious ice, and live and sleep
in an atmosphere sitting with sewer gas.
All the evils that produce these troubles in
volve for their remedy problems with which
it is the province Of the engineer to grapple.
and we recommend to the thoughtful atten-
ton Of the public the suggestions made by
Mr. Haswell.
