The Value Ofa Vote.

A man who has vote holds great
pow er for good OR for evil.
There have been times when vote
could do more than musket for the
country, Every man ought to feel he
il responsible to God and to future gen
eratioEs for the manner in which he
uses this power.
What do you think Of the young
American who, when asked, the other
day, which candidate he meant to
vote for, replied, II haven't paid my
poll-tax, and so can't vote?'
"But why don't you pay your poll
tax ut once, and then voter" asked the
person who had questioned him.
sob, because 1 had rather have a
pair of new kid gloves with the two
doIlars,n was the shallow reply. And
The man of small soul added, "If you
will pay my poll.tax for me, I'll vote. "
81 would doit with all my heart" !"
said the other, "if you were a poor
man, and also pay for your loss OF
time in going to the polls; but If you
are willing to selling your honor as a
man and an American citizen for q
rair of gloves, you can do it! advise
you, however, when you get the gloves
on, to cover your face with them for
shsme!"

MISCELLANEOUS,
Eastcr in GERMANY.

stOh, looki looki all those pretty little
Easter things in the window already!"
exclaimed my little sister one day, as
We passed one of the largest confectiOn-
ery!stores.in,St true enough,
though Lent was but half over, there
they were, a pretty show. Eggs, of
course, in Quantities and of all sizes,
from that of an ostrich 10 hummipg
bird's, made of chocolate or of sugar,
and gayly decorated with little ribbons
and pictures. Then there were fat
little unfiedged chickens, same just
emerging from their shells, some not
an inch long, and others large as life;
pure white lambs, with ribbons and
bells round their necks, paste eggs,
with holes at the ends, and, looking
through, behold, panorama inside!
and eggs with roses on one side, which,
when blown upon, emit a musical
sound.
But odder than all these were the
goats playing on guitars, or dragging
behind them fairy like egg-shaped
carriages, with little hares gravely
driving; and in others of these
carriages were reclining one or two
(generally two) baby hares, or hare
mother rocking her little one in an egg
cradle; there were sugar balloons, in
the baskets of which hares watched
over their nests full of eggs; wheel
barrows full of eggs, and trundled by a
hare; and dainty baskets of flowers,
with birds perched upon each handle,
peering down into nests of eggs half
hidden amidst the blossoms. When
one knows that each nest comes out,
and forms the cover to box of 6O'l6ons
neatly concealed underneath, this
pretty structure certainly loses none of
Its attractveness.
In all directions signs of the ap-
preaching season begin to appear.
Every.old woman in the marketplace
offers for sale store of hard-boiled
eggs, smeared over with some highly
cUlored varnish, besides candy chick
ems, hares, etc., in abundance. All the
various shop windows display pretty
embIenatic articles. Besides the
sugar and chocolate eggs, there are
eggs soap and of glass; eggshaped
baskets and reticules; leather eggs,
which really are ladies' companions,
and filled with sewing implements;
wooden eggs and porcelain eggs, and
even egg-shaped lockets made of
solid gold.-F. Il. COT7'e, st. Nicholas
for ApTii.

THE temperance men have got a
majority in the Connecticut Legisla-
ture, and instead of adopting pro
hibitory law they have a new plan OF
legislating the Interests of temperance,
and it is by making the license fees so
heavy as TO practically close small
groggeries and corner groceries. A
bill has been passed which provides
that licenses for the sale of alcoholic
liquors shall range from $3.50 to $500,
the smallest being $50. The fee for
lager beer and the light wines is SIS,
and these fees are to be paid into the
town treasures. There is no limit fix
ed to the number of licenses, but the
increased fees together with the
stringent provisions regarding the
value OF property to which persons
offering themselves as sureties must
swear, will, it is anticipated, result in
the closing of many places where
liquor is now sold. Some of the law
makers wished to fix the fees at from
$3.50 to $1,000, arguing that the
privilege of selling liquor is. usluable
enough 10 bear the imposition Of such
a tax, while it would still further
diminish the large number of saloons.
and so render it still easier to enforce
the selling on Sunday, selling to
minors, intoxicated persons, etc.

THE LEGEND OF 81. SOPHIA.

Gan Anonymous Poem in the April Atlantic.
When the fierce Moslems stormed the town,
They sacked Byzantium up and down;
Not even Saint Sophia stayed
Their cruel, alsdestroying raid,
The sacred walls no shelter gave:
They rode their chargers up the nave,
Tramping down with iron hoof,
The people gathered under its roof,
And vet, in spite of the startled cry,
The shout of angry foemen nigh,
The ring of the consecrated stones
,Neath the horses feet, the dying means,
The priest, who at the altar there
Had Just begun to chant his prayer,
His prayer, unbroken, chanted on,
Unnoyed in either look or tone;
In voice 50 tranquil, solemn, clear,
With never a shade of haste or fear,
: He said the holy Catholic mass.
When closer still the hoide drew near,
He seemed neither to see nor hear,
Until they passed at left and right
And Quenched tie candle in his sight;
And then he turned TO where was spread
The sacrament. He took the bread,
He held the wine above his head,
And with look sublime that said,
ssCbrist's servant never yet has fled"
He walked with firm and equal tread
The only open way. II led
To the solid minister wall; and 10.
As once of old the sea did know
To ope way for Israers host,
And close again when the people crossed,
So now the wall did part in twain,
Receive the priest, and close again;
While cen the Moslems paused TO hear,
From Just behind the wall anear,
A ,v,,ica m franot1il solemn clear
With never a shade of haste or fear,
Repeat the holy Catholic mass.
Stern Islem now the minister ruled,
And all the conquered building schooled
To speak its madstes. Much they burned;
And when they marked the altar turned
To Christ's Jerusalem its face,
They tore it rudely from its place,
And made it look to Mecca. Still,
Listening oft against their will,
The very workmen paused to hear,
From just behind the wall anear,
A voice so tranquil, solemn, clear,
With never shade of haste or fear,
Repeat the holy Catholic mass.
And still behind the wall, they say,
The priest imprisoned waits the day
That brings the end of Moslem sway:
And now and then they hear the tone
OF his devotions through the stone,
The legend cries with prophet voice,
ssThat day will come. Let man rejoice!"
And then the wall will part in twain,
The faithful priest come out again;
Within his hand will be the bread,
He'll hold the wine above his head,
And climb with firm and equal tread
The altar stairs, to finish there,
As he began, his chanted prayer,
In voice so tranquil, solemn, clear,
With never shade of haste or fear,
He'll end the holy Catholic mass.

What Macs Best Manure.

The manurial value of food
will depend upon its contents OF
nitrogen. potash and phosphate
lime. The oils, fats, sugars,
starch and all hydrocarbons are
consumed by resp avion or
stored up in the system as fat,
and they need not be taken into
account. If cotton seed are
worth $50 per ton for manure,
then the manlre which results
from feeding a ton of cotton
seed is worth $50, if it be care
fully saved and applied to the
soil without waste. AS the nj
trogen, phosphate of lime and
potash exist in all foods IN forms
which are about equally avail
able as plant food, it follows that
a simple inspection of the analy-
sis of any feeding stuff gives a
safe indication of the value OF
the manure it will yield, as COM
pared with amounts of any 9th
or sorts of feed. In this conrec-
ton, the following table is of in
terest. Food rich in nitrogen,
are always rich in phosphate Of
lime and potash. We give in
the table the quantity of three
chief ingredients of MANURE
nitrogen, phosphoric acid and
potash-found in 100 pounds of
each of the feeding stuffs named
Nitrogen. Potash. Pho-phoric
