FADES THE DAYLIGHT,

Fades the daylight and the shadows
Slowly gather ON the lawn;
Now the night falls on the meadows,
And the light of day is gone.
In the darkness which enfoIds me 81
Tender memories come once more
How each thought enchains and holds m
OF the dear ones gone before.
Not in pain and not in sorrow
Think of the loved ones gone;
Every night has still morrow,
Darkness but precedes the dawn.
Were it not for heart ties riven
For the friends that come no more,
There would be no hope Of heaven
In the bright forevermOre.
So while shadows darken Ger me,
Sit at the close of day;
Loved, lost features are before me,
Faces which have passed away;
Voices which made happy laughter
Come again in tones of love,
Sweetly echoes follow after
Twilight angels bend above.
1t is daylight which is fading,
Light of day which now must fee,
1t is but the happy shading
OF a brighter day 10 be.
So when twilight dreams have found me,
> Twilight voices ELL the air,
Loved, lost beings gather round me,
And their forms are passing fair.

Legal Drinking.

The legal treatment Of drink
ing intoxicating liquors is very
funny. According to the Alba,
ny LaaU Journal, a common
drunkard is not regular tip,
pier, but one who is frequently
drunk. Six times drunk on si1
different days, during the space
of three months, duly proven.
does not allow the presumption
Of soberness on other days dur
ing the same period. An hab-
itual drunkard is one who has
the habit so fixed that he cannot
resist drinking,ifthe temptation
is offered. Addiction to the
excessive use of liquors means
not occasional, but habitual ex-
cessive use. A man can not be
always sober and temperate who
has debauches ending in deIiri-
um tremens, although, excepting
at those times, habitualEy sobe1,
and Temperate. An intemper-
perate man not necessarily i'm
plies that he is in the habit of
getting drunk. But getting
drunk would certainly be in
temperate. A saloon may be
for the sale of liquor, cigars, re-
freshments, OF it may be a place
to receive company or exhibits
of art, but beer garden, large
or small, lis not properly a saloon.
Spirituous liquors do not include
fermented liquors. Cider is not
"a Ninous liquor. A "dram"
has been judicially interpreted
to possess intoxicating qualities.
And it is pretty we'll decided
that either cider, ale or wine
come under the category of in
toxicating liquors. 81 bat h
night covers all the ground be-
tween midnight Oh Saturday and
daylight on Sunday, as well as
the time between dark on Sun
day and midnight. In England
habitual drunkenness does not
involve that amount of possible
crnelty to entitle a wife to a di-
vorce. Selling a quart of liquor
is retail selling as much as by
the drink, under the notion we
suppose that some people take
very big drinks. Still there is
a case noted of the. Duke of
Tenterbelly, who, jovially, drain
ed off breaker holding twelve
good quarts. The case must
have escaped the legal Solons,
who established the Quart as the
retail limit. Am

Amusing Courtroom IDci-
dents.

The following amusing ex-
animation recently occurred in
courtroom in one OF the blues
grass counties OF Kentucky +:
Gen. H., a prominent lawyer OF
that region, was defending a
prisoner charged with horse
stealing, and the witness was
swearing as TO the identity Of
the stolen horse.
! Gen. H.--How do you know
this is the same horse?
Witness (hesitating) We'll,
| just know it is.
Gen. H.-Well, how?
Witness-I can't tell exactiy
how; but / know ii as well as /
know you, Gen. III.
Gen. H.-Weil, how do you
know that / am Gen. H.?
Witness-Because, just be-
fore dinner, ! heard Dfr. G. say,
seen. H., let's go and take
drink" aud you went.
The identity was satisfactory
to the bluegrass jury.
A lawyer i'll Bridgeport, CT,
who has, perhaps, the largest
professional practice in the vi
cinity, is very fond of intcrlard-
ing his plcadings with The
phrase, III yourfIonors please" Z"
Not long ago, in a case before
the Superior Court, he addressed
the jury as follows: "And will
you, gentlemen, sit calmly by
and see this wrong perpetra-
ted upon my client? God fol-
bid that such injustice should
be done! God forbid-it your

A TERRIBLE LIAR.

The Man Who Gould Out-Prcvari
cate Eli Perkins, Joe Mulhattan
or Tom 0chiltree.
SIIe was the orfulest liar / ey-
= er SEEM said Cooley O'Leary
as he returned from his friends
funeral. 'Why,he told me once
: that he lived on a small island
out in the Pacific Ocean, on
which there was a volcano. And
he said there was an active de-
. mand out in that region for wa
termelons, and he went into the
business of raising them. And
he said one year his whole crop
failed except one melon, and
that kept on growing at such a
fearful rate that it crowded him
off the lowland and upon the
side of the volcano, which gen.
Grated steam and caused an ex-
plosion which blew up the whole
concern to atoms, and shot him
four hundred miles out to sea,
where he was picked up by a
Whaler. He used to tell me that
the one great mistake of his life
was that he didn't drive a plug
in the crater of the volcano SO
as to make it water-tight, and
come sailing home on the half
shell.
"He would lie. He said that
once he was cast away on an
iceberg, with no baggage but Il
pair of skates and a fishing pole.
But he skated around until he
came across a deadwhale, frozen
into the ice. So he took off his
shirt-it was night for six months
that year up therefore it into
strips for a wick, ran the strips
through the bamboo fshing-rod,
stuck the rod into the fat of the
whale, and lit the other end. He
said it burned splendidly, and
the iceberg reflected the light SO
strongly that it was as bright as
day for forty miles around, and
one vessel ran into the berg,
thinking it was a lighthouse.
He said he sold the iceberg to
the captain for fifteen thousand
dollars, and the captain split it
up and took it home, and made
two hundred per cent. profit dis
posing of it to ice companies.
"Lie? Well, sir, he beat any
man | ever came across. Told
me that once out in Nevada q
mountain lion attacked him, with
his mouth wide open. He had
presence of mind enough to grab
it by the tongue and pull. The
lion roared with pain, but he did
his level best at pulling, and
pretty soon the tongue began to
give and the tail to shorten, and
out they came, the ton
que and the tail, in one long
string. He said he
hid 'em at home and he showed
em to me, but my belief is that
they were only three or four
eow-hides and bulls tail dove
tailed together.
"IIe was astonishing as a truth
crusher. Said he served on
gunboat during the war which
was very small and light. while
.he mortar on the deck was very
arge and heavy, and he said the
first time they tried to fire a tif-
.een-inch shell, the shell remain
ID stationary, while the recoil
vas so great that it fired the
gunboat four miles up the stream
md landed it in a tree. lie was
/ liar, but now he's dead / reck-
IN he'll ketch it."
There was no doubt about it;
Mr.. O'Leary was very success
'ul as a constructor OF energetic
york of fiction.

Going to Colorado, where be
was unknown, he married iEle-

that his wife would learn what

disgust. The fact was that she
had known the source of the
fortune, and married him for the
purpose of getting It. / Having
attained this object, she lately
