THIS LIFE.

Enjoy what thou canst, improve thy brief

For this li'a Is at most but farewelli
We gather o1r goods to all pass away,
Then lingering long we dare dwell.
We are called. God knows where, away from
this sphere,
Away from its pains, its trials and anguish; !;
Away from scenes that have caused many a
tear,
And the heart in deep sorrow to languish.
Away from those dear. the cherished of life,
Whose sweet love breaks our heart at the
parting;
Away from the strug sles, the sorrows and strife
That make life but a from the startling.
Away, God knows where, and perhaps II is
well
We are ignorant Of that great hereafter;
Por it may be place-alasl who can tell
That Is given but little 10 laughter.
Perchance, like this life, it is bitterness, too
Like this life, but alasl more eternal;
Its torments, perhaps, and its tortures accrue
Beyond aught e'er conceived AZ Internal.

Fill the heart TO the brim with its pleasures

THE ADMINISTRATION IN CONFUSION.
The fighting qualities Of the British SOL
der are proverbally good and their pro-
ficiency in drill is beyond question but,
compared with Continental armies, tho or
ganization is entirely inadequate to the
emergency. The general administration is
found to be in a state of confusion and
the medical department is especially def
cient. Herculean efforts are being made to
remedy these defects, but the short time at
the disposal of the military authorities will
not admit of radical reforms, which can only
be effected by long years Of patient work.
FOREIGN OFFICERS EXCLUDED FROM THE
ARsENALs.
SO solicitous has the government become
on this subject that an order has been
issued forbidding oil foreign officers from
visiting the naval and military depart
ments. 1t is considered matter of para
mount importance just now to keep foreign
governments that may be opposed to Eng
land in the coming struggle from knowing
exactly what preparations are being made
and in what particulars the English are de-
ficient.

ENGLAND PREPARING FOR WAR.
The preparations for war are being pushed
in England with all possible vigor and
the nature of the steps taken leaves no room
to doubt that the government has decided
that British interests require the protection
of British soldiers and sailors. The feeling
in favor of war has been growing stronger
day by day for some time past and there is
every reason to believe that England is on
the eve of one Of the most momentous epochs
in her history. Her empire in the East is en-
dangered beyond all doubt and she has
almost as much to lose by remaining neu-
trail as by taking decided stand and going
boldly into the war.

e5g- In the Council meeting on Monday
evening, while the license petitions were be-
fore that body, one of the speakers in behalf
of temperance and fair dealing said there was
an old adage that "there is honor among
thieves" but before he could go further,
some members took it as an insult and called
him to order, and the President sustained the
objection. This reminds us of an anecdote.
An old lady once told her pastor that she
didn't think it was very hard to preach-the
hardest was to get the text. Well,' said he
"I'll give you ONE 1t is better to dwell in
corner of house top, than with brawling
woman in wide house, " 6 Do you mean
that for me-" she Indignantly replied. 'sAh,
my good woman" he said, you won't do
for preacher--you make the application too
soon." The gentlemen above mentioned
made the application too soon. In fact, we
can't see just what they objected to. Did
they mean to contend that there wasn't honor
among thieves, contrary to the saying? Cei-
tainly, the member couldn't have meant that
any gentleman of the Council was thief, for
his declaration was that there was honor
among thieves, while these gentlemen cannot
pretend tina. there was any honor in their vot-
ing license for two years when they were elect
ed for only one year. and when in addition it
was clearly established that some of these
licenses had not the legal number of freehold
ers signatures. No, the gentleman could not
have meant that these gentlemen were thieves
otherwise his adage is not truthful. In
fact, we will do them justice to say that out
side of the whiskey question they are inclin-
ed to act honestly and fairly, and their course
on this question is, therefore, all the more re-
prehensible.
The Lambertville record. [volume] (Lambertville, N.J.) 1872-1968, 1877-04-04

Our friend Hoicombe is the only oratt r
on the license side in Council, and some of
his remarks are quite striking, although we
cannot agree with his deductions in all cases.
! Theologically We do not differ widely, per-
haps, on some points az least, although he is
an old sehooler and we are new, but our be-
lief in water is more far-reaching than his.
He belives that some people are foreordained
to be damned--and so do we, it they don't
stop selling whiskey. We will go further,
and say that we believe the whiskey business
IS decidedly foreordained in that direction.
But we referred to our friends theology for
the purpose of recalling some of his elucida-
tions of Scripture. Some time ago, in Couh-
Gil, he stated that the wine which the Saviour
and the Bible condemned was the wine of for
nication, and not the article used as beverage.
This may be correct, although we are sorry to
say that he has all the commentators against
him. It shows, however, that he has opinions
of his own, and is not to be blindy led by the
ideas of others. We regret that he did not
confine his remarks on last Monday evening
to what might be called the theological view
of the license question, FOR on this as we have
before said, he is original. But instead, he
took a rather mercenary view of it and adj
vocated the question IN the light of the
money spent by the State and city to orga-
nize the license system. To this it might
we'll have been replied that the State and city
suit of the license system, 50 that this argu-
