A Hubbardston writer says that in conse
quence OF drunkenness in that place, that class
of the community who shrink from contact with
vice and immortality are compelled to keep
within doors, or to hasten through the streets
with their eyes and ears closed to avoid terrible
sights and sounds. Well after decent people
are thus Kicked into the exercise OF some sort
OF courage, they win probably assert their
rights. invoke the aid of the law, which Is fully
on their side, and put stop to this state OF
things. Untl they do this, nobody will pity

To YOUNG MEN.-Let not fondness for dress
or the luxuries Of life ever tempt you to run
into debt, even though you find persons, hav-
ing confidence in your honesty, willing to give
you credit But, should you find it actually
necessary to incur some debts, consult your
friends, IAnd you will never fail in being aided
in what is best for you. Never forfeit the con-
fidence placed in you, or the pledges Of your
word, even in the slightest degree. Never
think your moral Obligations or your promises,
in matters Of debt, as Of little consequence. A
Young man whose moral principles and integ-
rty carry him no farther tnan. the require
ments Of law, will never gain the confidence of
the public.--Vox Populi.

Those who attended the conversational
meeting at the Opera House, last Sunday, will
doubtless appreciate this poem.
The hue OF her hide was dusky brown,
Her body was lean and her neck was SLIM,
One horn turned up and the other down,
She was keen of vision and long Of limb;
With Roman nose and short stump tail
And ribs like the hoops of homemade pail
Many mark did her old body wear;
She had been target for all things known
On many scar the dusky hair
Would grow no moro where il once had grown
Many passionate, parting shot
Had left upon her lasting spot.
Many and many a well aimed stone,
Many brickbat OF goodly size,
And many cudge swiftly thrown,
Had brought the tears to her bovine eyes;
Or had bounded off from her bony back,
With noise like the sound OF rifle crack
Many day had she passed in the pound,
For helping herself to her neighbor's corn
Many a oowardly cur and hound
Had been transfxed on her crumpled horn
Many tea pot and old tin pail
Had the farmer boys tied to her time-worn tail
Old Deacon Gray was pious man,
Though sometimes tempted to be profane,
When many . weary night he rah
To drivs her out of his growing grain.
Sharp were the pranks she used to plsy
TO get her fill and to get away.
She knew when the deacon went to town,
She wisely watched him when he went by;
he never passed her without frown
And an evil gleam in each angry eye;
He would crack his whip in a surly way
And drive along in his " one-horse shay"
Then at his homestead she loved to call,
Lifting his bars with her crumpled horn;
Nimbly scaling his garden wall,
Helping herself TO his standing corn,
Eating his cabbages one by one;
Hurryng home when her work was done.
Often the deacon homeward came,
Humming hymn from the house OF prayer ::
HIS hopeful heart in tranquil frame,
His soul as calm as the evening air,
HIS forehead smooth as a wellworn plow,
To find in his garden that highway COW.
His human passions were quick to. rise,
And striding forth with savage cry,
With fury blazing from both his eyes,
AS lightnDgs fash III summer sky;
Redder and redder his face would grow,
And after the creature he would 60.
Over the pa rden round and r,und
Breaking bis pear and apple trses;
Tramping his melons nto the ground,
Overturning his hives OF bees
Leaving him angry and badly stung,
Wishing the old cows neck was wrung.
The mosses grew on the garden wall,
The years went by with their work and play,
The boys OF tie village grew strong and tall,
And the gray haired farmers passed away
One by one as the red leaves ,slll
But the highway COW outlived them all.
All earthly creatures must have their day,
And some must have their months and years
Some in dying will long delay,
There is climax to all careers,
And the highway COW at last was slain
In running. race with railway train.
All into pieces at last she went,
Just like the savings banks when they fail;
Out OF the world che was swiftly sent
Little was left but her old stump tail.
The farmers cornfelds and garden now
Are haunted no more lg the highway cow.

SOMETHING BETTER To DRINK.-Ihs idsa OF
reforming the lntemperate by setting Mp cheap
cofee-houses in the neighborhood OF the rum
shops has been tried with much Success IN
Ensland,-so great, IN fact that they have in
many cases compelled the rum dealers near by
to close their shops for want OF custom which
the coffee resorts had drawn away from them.
In Bristol the rumsellers, hearing Of the pro-
posed trial OF the plan there, hired every avail
able location in their quarter, and at first it
seemed as il the reformers were thwarted be-
cause Of their inability to secure available
rooms, it being considered necessary TO have
the coffee-houses in the vicinity of the places
where the laboring people we're wont to resort
for their morning and evening drinks The
coffee-men, however, out-generaed the rum
mics by sending out wagon every morning
and evening, and peddling the hot coffee and
tea for a penny mug. The success was so
great that number of benevolent individuals
have started coffee-wagons, and have all they
can do to supply the demands Of the thirsty
thropgs which morning and evening besiege
the wagons.

IHE ORIGIN or Pm MONEY The word pin
money is not much used nowadays. and. when
II is, IS apt 70 be used loosely It is often EN-
ployed to mean an allowance by a father or
husband for daughters or wse's extra ex-
penses But its proper significance is wo-
mans allowance for al her personal outlay,
whatever IT may be. The origin OF the term is
something singular. Long after the invention
Of pins, in the fourteenth century, the maker
was permitted to sell them openly the lst and
I'd OF January only, when the Court and city
ladies' crowded TO the shops to buy them, hav-
ing been provided by their fathers and hus-
bands with money for the purpose. After PING
had become plenty and cheap. women spent
their money for other thinss; but pln-moDey
remained IN vogue. The opinion. often ex-
pressed, that pins were invented in France
during the reign OF Francis L., and introduced
into England by Catherine Howard, fifth wife
OF Henry VIII, is entirely erroneous. In 1347,
200 years before the death Of Francs, $4,000
pins were delivered from the English royal
wardrobe for the use OF the Princess Joan, and
Iffty-three years later the Duchess ID Orleans
purchased o. Jehan Le Brecoanier, pIo-
maker Of Paris, several thousands Of long and
short pins, besides 500 dozens OF the English
fashion, showing that pins were pot only manu.
factured, but had gained WIDE reputation
abroad, during the reign of Henry ". IL is
estimated that hundreds of millions o. pms are
used every year IN the United States. What
becomes OF all the pins is still question that
remains unanswered anl unanswerable
