Judge alison of Philadelphia,
who has been upon the bench now
more than a quarter Of century,
said recently, that Of the hundreds
of murder trials which had come
before him in that long period, the
oluse of the crime in fully ninety five
cases of every hundred was the use
of intoxicating drinks And yet
there are intelligent Christian men,
who speak of intemperance in drink
ing as on a par with over-eating or
extravaganza in dressing.

Twilight ReYerie.

The shades of evening had fallen as
we quilted West Point, says a cores
pOndent of Leslie's Newspaper, and
the hills were preparing to wrap them
selves in hooded gray. The dim, mys-
teriOus ''hush" that night whispers to
the dying day was upon US. The shad-
ows of the mountains deepened, and
then tops were dark purple in the twi-
light. New and wOndrous charms we're
awakened beneath the balmy Caresses
of the night breeze. while a subtle per-
fume flOated in The luscious air. Lights
tWinkled on the shore in easements up
high on the bluffs; on river craft, and
in 6eacOns, sending long streaks Of il
Elimination across the CLASSY water.
The river WAS steel gray, and the shad-
ows Of the banks sank down, in ghastly
and fathOmless bldckness. Stars came
out in the dark blue sky, shimmering
like rose diamonds; dogs bayed, and
with The honest watch-dOg's bark, the
paddles of the boat alone broke upon
the sublimity of silence. Oh, it was
the hour of heart-ease, when that thrOb
Of pain called life was laid aside and al
most forgotten. Within all was semi
animation. The gas-shade Of Henry
HudsouI was lighted, and the orchestra
disGoursed sweet music in the deck-sa-
loon; a selection from Lucia di LAM
mermOUr," suited MercutiO Spifins,
who hung with gloomy fUndness upon
every note, and ThU wept cOpiOuSly
over the Fra poco." The Englishman
with the refractory liver was endeavOr-
ing to soothe that troublesome organ
with dilutiOn of brandy and water.
Chatty and chirpy groups lOunged
about the saloon, or leant over the gal
ley-Tailihg in al the innocent joys Of a
gOOdly gossip The deck was deserted
save by levers and smokers. Two bank
clerks, who were proceeding to fish the
AdiTondacKs and to trough it." were
endeaYOring TO sleep beneath the canO-
py of heaven, but whether the stars
were too winky, or the rubber-spreads
too uncomfortable, it is certain that
they would have been far more at their
ease IN an upright position. AhaI no
beds for theml They were BOhemians.
A cOiO-ed waiter who softly thrummed
a banjo, and who was en- route for the
Grand Union Hotel, shared the deck
with us; and ere we turned in we could
trace the queenly CatskIlls far, far away
upon our left; and the Mountain House,
like gigantic white bird flying upon
outstretched wings out into the night.

The religion of Christ embodies all
reforms within itself. The Temper
ance work, rightly regarded, is but a
branch of it. And the growing
appreciation of this fact is an encour
aging omen for both. For years
Temperance sentiment and effort
have been drifting in this direction,
until the chief apostles of the cause
now recognize the intimate relation
between the two, and the impossible
i y Of disassociaing them. The conse
qUenceis that the Temperance revival
in many places is really a religious
revival This is as it should be, and
just IN proportion as this reform can
be placed upon the religious basis, it
will become more successful and
enduring, and enlist the cooperative
sympathy Of good men of whatever
name. The gospel is designed to
revOlUtionize and renovate character,
and is exactly fitted to regenerate
humanity everywhere, whether its
fallen condition be manifested in
intemperance or any other vice. 1t
is able to break all fetters, whether
of avarice or the cup. Resolutions,
pledges, Temperance societies, are
Legitimate in the mair, and helpful,
and are to be encouraged, yet only
as helps. The only safe and sure
basis for personal reform is the
gospel Of Christ. Divine grace is
adequate to salvation of the confirmed
drunkard. This alone goes to the
heart of the difficulty, and saves
where all else fails. And this great
fact so long kept in the background
is now coming into prominence, and
is bearing its legitimate fruits

A n. Y. correspondent from Sara.
toga Springs writes as follows:
I'VE are rejoicing in great Tenn
perance revival in this vicinity. The
Brothers @. C. and D. G. Frost
are doing a great work. Three or
four years ago these men werein the
gutter, both Of them hard drinkers
one a rumseller as well as drinker.
In Fort Edward, Glenn's Falls, Sa-
lem, Argyle, Ballston and other
places near by, they have held meet
ings every evening, stopping a week
or ten days in each place. These
meetings have been immense, the
largest church OF hall not holdins
the throngs which have sought ad-
mission.
Let me give you an account of
the work in Saratoga; and this only is
a specimen of the others. Mr.. G. G.
Frost came to our tOWG. We obtain
ed the use of the large Town Hall,
which will seat comfortably from
fourteen to fifteen hundred people.
It was packed the first evening, and
has been every evening since, and
hundreds of people have stood up,
while others have gone away.

full. He speaks without notes, and

In the island of Ceylon in the Indian
Ocean, about fifty-fve miles southeast
of the southern extremity of IIindos-
tan, there is a lake inhabited by musi-
cal fish. Their sOng-if it can be called
a sOng-is not one sustained note, like
a birds, but a multitude of tiny, soft,
sweet sounds, each clear and distinct in
itself, something like the vibration of a
wineglass when its rim is rubbed by a
mOistened finger. In the harbor Of
Bombay there is another species OF fish,
producing a sound like an Eolian
harp.

NEBRAsEA-A faithful band of wo-
men at Lincoln meet weekly fol-

manner, las answered in behalf OF
the State and city.
Three years ago there were twenty
three drinking saloons in Lincoln
now there are only eight, and the l.
cense has been Tut up to $1,000, and
It'll thought but three or four will pay
that amount. Last year the city

A young farmer, in Sheldon, Yer
mont, bought a dairy farm, stocked
with sixty cows. During two years he
has solu, exchanged and reduced the
number Of his dairy COWS, so that last
year he hal but thirty-fve. He reports
having made as much butter from the
thiTty-fve selected cows as was form
erly made from the original sixty. It
is easy to see that in reduced attend
ance and diminished cost of feeding
with equal products, his profits must be
largely increased.

YOUNGSTOWN, OHIc.-At the Legipn
;1r f the Crusade there were in tLif
tI92.T;,o I9 village 358 sa'oons. The
work has gone on steadily through
t re years, and now by actual count
there are only I31 saloons, and they
are doing a small business.
An effort was made to close tn
saloons from six P. NJ. to six A. M. F.;
a large number Of ladies visiting the
city council to urge it. Speeches
were made by Councilmen favorable
to the measure, and by the President
of the WOman's Union, and by Mrs.
Wittenmyer, who was visiting the
society. The measure was lost by
one vote only. Tie man who cast
that vote claimed to be a Temper

fee soon. The bloated beer men
who crowded into the room, and lis
tened with greatinterest o bis spec h,
will no doubt vote for him.-fC.

The opinion is gaining ground that
meteorites are of volcanic origin. An
entire absence Of any sign of cOncentric
formation goes to show that they had
been violently parted from other bodies,
and the presence of Hydrogen gas in me-
teoric iron points strongly to volcanic
action. Tschermack is the latest sci
enlist of eminence who has come to the
support of this view. But it is not easy
for the imagination to form even a faint
conception Of the magnitude Ofthe force
necessary, under this theory, to hurl the
fluid matter Of which meteOrites are
compose beyond the attractive infu-
eace of the orb whence that matter was
at first derived, far into space and with
in the range Of the attraction of our
planet. The terrific fiery connections
now observed on the sun, and the desc
latiOn wrought on the surface of the
moon by former volcanic activity, are,
however, proofs that this assigned
cause of meteOrs may not have been
Overestimated as to its suficiency.

BY NARY A. LATHBURY.

A woman within a quiet room,
TIE '.cry of woman" heard,
And bent a beating heart to hear,
With her hand on the open Word.
And the cry, as o m that perish,
Was blent with voice divine;
"Take thou the keys Of the prison house
And open for Ne and MN ="
She rose at that word, nor tarried,
But into the open street,
She followed to find before her step,
The print Of the Masters fe1t.
We bless her for her courage,
For the answer strong and true,
That over a thousand hearts was blown,
Like a wind across the dew.
But to the Lord give honor,
The pOan that fills the land,
From keynote to sounding symp hony,
Is swept by the Masters hand.

Children should never wear garters,
as the stockings can be kept up per
fectly well by an attachment Of elastic
strips to the waistband. If garters are
worn, it is important to know how. to
apply them with the least risk of harm.
Atthe bend Of the knee the superficial
veins Of the leg unite and go deeply
into the under part Of the thigh beneath
the hamstring tendOns. Thus a Iiga
tuTe below the knee obstructs all the
superficial veins; but if the cOnstric>
ton is above, the hamstring tendOps
keep the pressure of the veins which
return the blood from the legs. Unfor-
tnately most peop'e, in ignorance Of
the above facts, apply the garter below
the knee. Elastic bands are the most
injurious. They follow the movements
Of the muscles and never relax their
pressure upon the veins. NCn-elastic
bands, during muscular exertiOn, be-
come considerably relaxed at inter
walls, and allow freer circulation Of the
blood,

The old method Of showing the COM
pound nature of light by the compost
ton Of artificial cOlOrs on the lecture
table is to arrange the various coIors in
the proper proportion on disc and to
revOlVe this disc rapidly; but a pure
white cannot be produced by this meth
cd since there is necessarily partial
absorption of the rays on every part of
the disc. My method is to arrange sew
en- lanterns, in the first place, so as to
project their several circles of light side
by side on a white screen, then to color
each circle by Introducing slides Of glass
stained to initiate the seven cOlors of
the spectrum (the proper intensity Of
color being found by triaD we thus get
seven circles on the screen cOIored from
red to violet and arranged side by side.
Then by turning the several lanterns so
that theprojected circles shall exactly
overlap each other we get one circle of
white light, proving that the seven col
OTs together make white light. The
same effect can be produced with five
cOlOrs only, if properly selected; and
even two, the ordinary cobalt blue and
deep orange, will nearly do. If these
two last be made to partially overlap the
effect is very striking.-Nat,rre.
