THE ANGEL OF SORROW.

As dusky evening shadows were waxing coolandlate
hand knocked at my doorway, oped the portal
straight
And close beside the Threshold form erect and tall
Stood in a sable garment close wrapping like apall.
who art thou?' spoke I, wondering. Straightway
the shape replied
Mankind have named me Sorrow but in heavens
arches wide
Beyond the pearly gateway different name bear;
Say, wilt thou ope thy doorway thy home with me to
share?"
'Ah no." replied shuddering, mo guest for
mew
Then fast closed the portal, and drew its boltings
Once more the shape entreated; II hold within my
Sweet flowers, dale and waxen for those that under
The mysteries whisper bright crowns their cups shall
be-"
"Ah, no." replied l, trembling mo sorrow crows fol
me-"
The third time spoke the presence. AS mornings
crimson dyes
Shone DER the dusky hiltops he said with rcv'ren
guise,
"The Master sent me to thee and wilt thou bid me
waltz"
No longer hesitating rose to greet him Straight,
And open flung my doorway. l felt q chill likC
death;
Then gazed to see him enter with almost batet
breath,
Lo; the form that seemed demon in the tapers fad
ing light
In the mornings crimson glory was an angel pure anC
bright.

Hard Drinking in Boston.

The Massachusetts, newspapers TEEN with
comments on the spread of drinking places
in Boston and the increasing demoraliza-
ton which is the consequence. The trouble
seems to be that the law is not enforced,
either because its provisions are incompe-
tent or unworthy to have such a trust.
The prohibitory lay was brought into con-
tempt and repealed, the Boston AdOertiSer
says, because it was not and could not be
enforced: "The license law will suffer the
same fate if it is not made effective; but
there is not the same excuse, for the COM
missioners have the power to withdraw
licenses for cause" The root of the trouble
is probably to be sought in politics. In
Maine, it is reported, liquor sellers are regu-
larily indicted and then promised "stet"
if they will contribute ten or twenty voters
to strengthened the cause of the dominant
party, and outspoken prohibitionists are
reported to have repeatedly reaped the
fruits of these corrupt bargains. The
people of Boston certainly must consume
good deal of rum. There were2, ITS license
out to sell liquor on May /, and of these
1900 were additional to those in force a
year previously. The law is very stringent
in regard to the manner and time of sale
and the persons to whom sales are made,
yet scarcely any prosecutions under it are
recorded. The number of arrests o" drunk
and disorderly" persons was II 1867, besides
300 intoxicated persons "helped homo"
by the police. These figures make bad
showing for such q truly good city as
Boston. 1t is said that the prohibition in
regard to sales of liquor to children is q
dead letter, and that concerning selling
on Sunday openly and defiantly violated.
Nor is Boston the only place where this
state of things exists. The Worcester Spy,
speaking of that city, says: {" 1t is not O
hasty judgment that during the present
year, whatever the police records may be
there has been large amount of visible
intoxication in this city as compared with
previous years. Ingenuity must be put tC
its utmost stretch to invent any plausible
reasons for granting onetenth part of thu
license under which the evil of intemper
ance is running riot in our city,"
Smyrna times., 1880-09-22

The steadily growing tendency of the
American people to concentrate in cities is
shown by these figures: In 1870 onethir.
tieth of the population only was in cities.
In 1900 the proportion was one.twenty. fifth;
in 1920, one.twentieth; in $780, one-six-
teenth; in 1910, one person in every twelve
lived in city; in 1850, the proportion was
one.eighth; in 1860, one.sixth and in 1870
it was more than one fifth. Judging from
the past increase, nearly one. fourth Of the
entire fifty millions of our population is
gathered in cities. The long depression in
agricultural pursuits has had much to do
with this undesirable state of things, and
the reaction in favor of those pursuits can
not fail to do much towards arresting the
growth of this passion for city life.

enacted several months ago in San Fran.
cisco, and in theatrical parlance, "the play
had five weeks run" The same play is
to be transferred here, and the same actor
that represents jesus Christ in San Fran
cisco is engaged to represent him in New
York. lie is to appear in such scenes as
"the Last Supper" "the Garden of Geth.
semane," "the Cruci6xion" and "the
Ascension" The performance" is to begin
early in December, with the expectation
that it will "run" through the year. Any
words we can command are not equal to q
fitting expression of the execrable charac-
ter of such an exhibition.

What time they do not spend in la

they deyote to the representation
of evil to come. 1t is a most perni-
cious and disagreeable habit. There
is nc use of regretting the past ex-

a Pleasing Woman.

What is more charming than an
agreeable, graceful woman? Here
and there we meet one who possess
es the fairy-like power of enchanting
all about her; sometimes she is ig-
nOrant herself of the magical in
fiuence. which is, however, for that
reason only the more perfect. Her
presence lights up the home; her
approach is like the cheering
warmth; she passes by and we are
happy. TO behold her is to live ;
she is the aurora with human face.
She has no need to do more than
simply to be; she makes sn Eden OF
the house; Paradise breathes from
her, and she communicates this de-
light to all without taking any
greater trouble than that of existing
beside them. Is it not here an in
estimable gift?

A Boston paper gives an account
of a remarkable woman born in
Wellfleet, Massachusetts, and now
ninety-three years old. When she
was but twenty-three years old, hav-
ing two young children, her husband
was brought home to her from his
wrecked vessel an invalid for life.
He saw nothing but destitution star.
ing him and his family in the face.
Then il was that her wonderful
energy was equal to the occasion.
She started q store, very small at
frst, but its profits gradually in
creased, and she says that many a
day she has taken in over hundred
dollars. For fifty-nine years she
made monthly visits to Boston in
small sail boats to replenish her
stock. For fifty years she took care
of her invalid husband who was not
able even to dress himself. She
educated her two boys, and started
them in business. She also adopted,
clothed, fed, educated and placed in
good positions in the world twenty
orphan boys and girls, besides visit
ing and taking care OF the sick at all
hours, day and night.
