HAVE FAITH AND TRUST.

Have faith and trust. We waN ering.
Gods wavs we may not see,
What may seem chaos in our view.
To him is harmony:
And when deep anguish fills our hearts,
And tears well from our eyes,
The i'll that causes them may be
A blessing in disguise.
Tho noisome, poisonous weed which grows
without a asingle charm.
MAY hold iu ITS obnoxious stem
A medicinal balm; eE
And tsmpests thato'erwhelm "a
And fill us with dismay,
May render pure the petid air
And drive disease away.
Then faint not when reverses come.
Have faith. and hope. and trust
That all is ordered for the best
That God is KIND and just;
Dwell not on evils that may ccms:
Nor mourn o 'er evils past.
Bnt nurse the precious hope that God
Will comfort you at last.

THE NEW LIQUOR LAW.

From the new liquor law passed by the
section 4, as follows:
eff any druggist shall sell alcohol, spir-
ituous liquors or wine, unless for medical pur
poses, he shall, for each and every otfense, be
fiued not less than twenty nor more than one
hundred dollars and it shall be the special
duty of the Circuit Courts to give this pro-
vision in charge of the grand juries of their
respective Courts. And in any prosecution
against a druggist for selling alcohol, spir-
ituous liquors or wine, without license there
for, if the sale be proved, it shall be pre-
sumed that the sale was unlawful in the alb
sence Of satisfactory proof to the contrary
No sale of alcohol, spirtuous liquors or wine
shall be made by any druggist under the pro-
visions of this section, except upon the writ
ten prescription of practicing physician in
good standing in his profession and not of in.
temperate habits, specifying the name of the
person and the kind and quantity of such
liquors to he furnished him, and stating that
such liquors, so prescribed, are absolutely me-
cessary as medicine. and not as beverage,
for such person. And the production of such
prescription by the defendant at the trial of
an Indictment against him for the sale of the
alcohol, spirituous liquors or wine mentioned
therein, shall be sufficient to rebut the pre>
sumption arising from the proof of such sale
as hereinbefore prescribed for, if the jury be-
lieve from all the evidence in the case that
the sale was made in good faith, under the
belief that such prescription and statement
were true
''If any physician shall, for the purpose of
aiding druggist or other person in the viola>
tion Of any of the provisions of this chapter
or otherwise give such prescription and make
such statement falsely, he shall be guilty ofa
misdemeapor, and fiued not less than fifty nor
more than two hundred dollars. Every such
prescription and statement shall be filed and
preserved by the druggist selling such liquors
thereon, and the same shall be open and sub>
jcct to the inspection Of the prosecuting at
tornev Of the county, or any member of the
grand jury thereof, or any relative of the per-
500 to whom such liquors were sold, and any
druggist person in charge of such prcscrip>
tions and statements who shall wiIfully fail or
refuse to produce the came when demanded
for inspection by any of the persons aforesaid.
shall be guilty of a misdemeanor, and fined
not less than twenty nor moro than one hun
dred dollars"

When Chief Justice Cartier went TO
administer the "iron clad oath" to the MEM
bers Of Mr. Hayes new Cabinet, he read I'M
til he came to the words do you solemnly
swear that you have never voluntarily borne
arms against the United States" when Mr..
Key interrupted. e1claiming, "Hold on
Judge, I can't swear to that" There was
quite . laugh, and Judge Cartier remarked
in his quaint way, THAT oath was good
enough for us. sir, until you came in" when
Mr. Key retired and the remainder OF the
oath was read and assented to by the other
four. Afterwards il was found that there
was not a copy OF the modified oath in the
White House, and it had to be sent for at the
State Department before it could be adminis-
tered to Mr. Key.

: Zsbedes himselfi Zebedee, red>hsired
and shambiing and awkward as he had been
in the old fox and>geese days.
'OhI' said he catching up his lantern, SO
that the scarlet birds wings flashed out like
Q spit of fame-scarcely more scarlet, alss.
than Bertha's own face. "Here you be I'm
. little late. Ior the roads is so all fred bad
aud couldn't start the pony out of walk.
Come on How de do Be you very cold {"
'.Zebedee." said Bertha. cliuging almost
hystericslly to her cousins arm. 'who's that
young gentleman with-with the other Ian
tern I"
"Eh!' ~ said Zebedee. "That feller with
the old lady in patchwork shawl!'
.sYes!'
"It's Charley Harcourt, the Squire's SON."
said Zebedee. u ust come from turin parts! !"
.Zebedee." said Bertha, with curious liz.
tie sound between a laugh and sob, 'pat
me into the cutter quick and drive me some
where. don't care where /! Because"
"Eh? ?" said Zebedee, staring hard at his
cousin, as he packed the buffalo robe around
her before touching up the laggard old pony.
because" added Bertha, in species Of
desperation, al took Mr. Harcourt for you
and hueged him and kissed him."
"Is that all ?" said philosophical Zebedee.
"He won't carer'
"No," said Bertha, "but shall "
you amt crying. be you 7" said Zebedee,
noting the quiver in his cousins voice.
"How can help p walled poor Bertha.
"'Twarn't no fault O. yourn," said Zebedeo,
consolingly.
"of course it wasn't" said Bertha, impa-
tiently. How was l to know that every
lantern at Montcourt had rod glass to it 7"
And poor little Bertha cried herself to sleep
that night.
The next morning-New Years Day, oil
showed up into glorious drifts everywhere
Mr. Harcourt drove over to the Higgins farm
house. The young lady had dropped fur
glove on the platform, and Mr.. Harcourt felt
it his duty to restore it to her. Aud, more
over-here Mr.. Charley Harcourt hesitated .
little-he hoped Miss Hooper would excuse
him for being so stupid as to allow her to fan
cy him her cousin.
81 ought to have explained sooner" said he.
"No, you ought not" said Bertha. "Tho
fault was all mine."
~ don. recognize fault anywhere" said
he "Aud if l am pardoned-"
"Of course you are - said Bertha, roster
and prettier thar ever.
"In that case, nm commissioned by my
mother TO ask your aunt's permission to take
you over to help us finish dressing the church
in time for morning service. My horse Is
waiting"
"May go. Aunt Almira ?" said Bertha,
"of course you may, said Aunt Almira.
Aud so poor Zebedce was left out in the
cold.
What was the end of all? There is but
one sequel to stories like this. where youth
aud bright eyes and human hearts are con-
cerned. The next New Years eve Bertha
Hooper and Charley Harcourt were married.
But the bridegroom persists in declaring that
Bertha did the first of the love making.
And Bertha oaly laughs.

A H1GH SENSE OF HoNoR.-The Duke
Of Wellington had seuce of honor in all
money dealings, and would suffer none OF his
agents to do a mean thing in his name. His
steward once bought some land adjoining his
country estate. spd was bOasting Of having
made very fine bargain, from the seller
being in straitened circumstances.
What did you pay for it?" asked the Duke.
"Eight hundred pounds" was the answer.
"Aud how much was it WORTH"
eleven hundred pounds" said the stew
ard, rubbing his hands in glee at the thought
of the good bargain.
Then take three hundred pounds and
carry them to the seller, with my compli>
ments, and don't ever venture 10 talk TO me
of cheap land again"
The steward was confounded. and could
scarcely credit his own ears. The idea that
any one could refuse to profit by sharp bar
gain, and throw money away in paying more
than w,s agreed Oh, was hard for him to
comprehend.
