TOTAL ABSTINENCE SAVIsG WINE TILL IT
RIPESS.

There Is q curious story about some native
wines which are extensively advertised nova
days, and have only recently been put upon
the market. DR.. Undcrhilf, the wel-known
grape-growcr of Croton Point. died in 1871.
Some OF his heirs entertained temperance
views of such extreme kind. that they were
unwilling to allow the stock Of wines then on
hand to be sold or any more to be made.
The: grapes have sometimes been sent to
market, and sometimes left to decay upon
the vines. 1t is only now that the other heirs
have succeeded in arranging for a settlement
OF the estate and the sale of the wines on
hand. Among these IS wine Of the vintage
OF 1864, described as a Sweet Union Port"
but suggesting the Imperial Tokay more
than any other European wine, and being
wholly unlike any other wine of American
growth. Its purity. age and mclowness are
remarkable. and both physicians and winc-
fanciers have special interest in it as the
Oldest native wine now accessible in any con-
siderable quantity. The whole stock is in the
hands Of the well-known wholesale grocery
house of the Thurbers.--N. Y. Tribune,

q railway contractor stated, however
that the q. IL. * j. and II. & p. nj. cars
are all compromise build, and that the
story of the fianges grinding on the
rails could not be true. He thought
that the train was running too fast
that the cars were loaded too heavily,
that the ties were old and rotten, and
that rebound from a joint caused the
track to spread, dropping the coaches
on the ties. All unite in saying that
the rear coach left the the track first.
The accident did not occur on curve,
but on u straight track. The cars We're
badly wrecked.
Another train was made up here Ii
the afternoon, and at seven O'clock last
evening the excursionIsts started for

brought in contact i'm the connection.
The occurrence is an unfortunate one
for all concerned.-Grand Rapids

How Fat Can a Person Become?

Mirabeau, alluding to a very corpu-
lent person, said, HE has only been
created to show to what extent the hu-
man skin would stretch without burst
ing" Then, corpulence was believed
to be a natural condition; now, it Is
knOwn to he disease. Hundreds who
had considered themselves useless for
life, by reason of too much fat, have,
by the use of Allan's Anti-Fat, been re-
duced to healthy and natural size.
This great remedy for corpulcnce is
purely vegetable and perfectly harm
less. 1t acts OH the food I'm the stom-
ach, preventing its being converted in
to fat. 1t cures indigestion and tones
up the system. Sold by druggists.

RegreE.
by WINNIE WILLOW.

The sun shines bright through my window
And brings me hope, and healthful gain,
And In It's glow so soft and warm,
bathe my weary, wasted form.
Upon all the earth, In its folds of green,
The beauty ofsummer is felt and seen.
But cold wind came from northern sky
And whispered 10 her as IL passed her by;
And now she waits with patient arms,
To gather her own, her fated charms,
Hss sst sns %sy bSyys by T,.h 70
Who, as she gives greeting kiss,
Shall prove her, Indas-iike in this.
For from the reigning hand shall fall,
The scepter down, and Autumn's call
Shall give her flaming subjects power
To mock the queen In her dying hour.
AS rest In the sunshine fair,
= Long fingers of gold caress my hair,
And into my spirit a sadness nows,
That only the heart OF the capt. We knows,
And In q reverie unsought,
count the Summers life as naught,
Since with her breath and blossoms sweet,
SO much of good dies incomplete.
And like n chiid's untimely birth,
In incompleteness, lost to earth,
Naught to my soul, poor pa1n-loSt tninB,
That longs sometiin for untamed wing,
To scape the sight of fields unsown,
Of Mammons blight, good seed DER grown,
And smothered meath the whitening hand,
OfAvarice, where there should stand
Some monument of truth and power,
Defying Death and Times brief hour.
) Yet knows itself so poor and weak,
'rwod coward prove, and ne'er would seek,
The battle II once hoped TO brave,
Nor dare to dig in Errors grave,
That deep and deeper from the sight,
Should lie the sins that turn to night.
The sweetest days and makes OF home
A Demons den where ere they come,
Oh summer OF the twelve months timel
Thine own sud fate is like 10 mine,
For all the richness of my days,
Is dimning now Autumn haze.
Past dreams of good I'm visions rise,
Like far Off hills of Paradise,
To mock my lack of strength and years,
To work the wish of prayers and tears;
And all unreconciled sigh,
That Summer unprepared must die.
