By far the greatest decrease in

in like manner we find the greatest in

The Oak and the Vine.

A graceful oak. with branches broad and
bod,
Lived In a forest gray and dim,
And from its roots, with many a circling
iold,
A tende vine crept to its foremost limb
And slyly nestled there What could 1t
mean?
Its tendrils toying with those locks of green.
Low at It's feet the oak first saw the vine,
CrouchiDg for shelter from an April
And when it cached around the heart TO
twine
1t clasped and Ioevd 1T more from hour to
hour;
Nearer and dearer with each rising sun,
Until the surpliced season made them one.
An autumn evening when the sun went
down.
While %thunder's fingers sweptlthe stormy
Its branches bent before the whirlwind's
And touched the.ightning'sd dreadful tongue
of fire.
The storm passed on. the strong oak bowed
Its head,
For, looking down, 1t saw that the vine was
dead.
In time Its tendrils loosened, and the cold
Breath OF November threw its pallid spell
Ger leaf and blossom, turning them to gold,
And to the earth the vine. long ~lifeless,
fell;
But winding round the oak the scars were
shown
Thenceforth of where the tender vine had
grown.
So, in the paths of life, no matter where.
In castle or in cottage we will find
Strong men who in their hearts will always
bear
The cureless wound OF where some vine
has twined.
Is there beyond, where endless daylight
breaks,
A balm for earthly wound and heart that
aches?

The MOfi'et Bell Punch.

The MofFet bell-punch, or register of
drinks, by which Virginia expected to
make the sale of liquor u source of
revenue, has proved a failure. Instead
of 81, 100000, the results have been
little more than $4,000. The trouble
has been that the law was slow in get
ting into operation, and has since been
very unequally enforced. The cities
have complied with its provisions,
while the counties have been very re-
miss. There has also been much
evasion. There must be revision, at
least, before the statute becomes thor
oughIy effective.
