THE OLD STORY.

A sober, half-discontented face at the
Window bright face in the street
The window is thrown open, and smile
goes from the bright face to the sober
one, giving it a new and pleasanter as
pect. Both faces are young-that at
the window youngest; almost child-like.
Yet the window-face is the face of
wife, and the street-face that of a
maiden, " fancy-free."
"How strangely I was deceived,
Bella p said the lady in the street.
Deceived How, Mary? What do
you mean? But, come in, you're just
the one wish to see."
81 was sure / saw you, not ten min
utes ago, riding out with Harry" said
the young FRIEND as they met and kissed
at the door.
"Oh, dear, no L haven't Deen out
riding with Harry for month"
"Indeed? How's that ? can re-
member when you rode out together
almost every afternoon"
eyes; but that was before our mar
riagc," replied the young wife, in voice
that made her friend look into her face
narrowly.
"The husband has less time for
recreation than the lover. He must give
more thought to business" remarked
the friend.
The little wife tossed her head and
shrugged her shoulders in doubtful
way, saying, as she did so:
"Idont know about the business. But
! lovers and husbands are different species
of the genus homo. The explanation
lies somewhere in this direction, l pre-
sume."
"Ah, Bella, Bellal That speech
does not come with a musical sound
from your lips" remarked the friend,
smiling, yet serious.
"Truth is not always melodious," "
said Bella
"How is it to sweethearts and wives %
asked the friend; "do they belong to
the same class p
The question appeared to reach the
young wife's ears with suggestive
force. Her voice was little changed
as she answered:
don't know; perhaps not !"
Then, after moment, she said: g And
you thought it was Harry and I that
You saw riding out?"
81 was certain of it; but, it only
goes to show how one may be mis-
taken"
The friend had been scanning the
young wife for some moments, from
head to foot, in way that now called
out the question:
Do You ee'anything peculiar about
me 2"
"Yes, was answered.
What {"
GA peculiar untidiness that / never
! saw in the sweetheart I"
Bella glanced down at her soiled and
ruffied dress.

short laugh.

eyes; if you have an artists fancy.
Here it is: Hair lusterless and un
tidy; skin dull for want of action anC
? feeling; wrapper better conditioned
for the washing-tub and ironing table

a young wife; no collar nor ornament o
any kind; and a countenance-well,

i" or the Earth, Earthy.v

Have they told you am going
To the land of rest
] am very patient, knowing
All is for the best;
Yet the summer light is clearest
Ere the soul departs.
Nature seems to draw the nearest
Unto dying hearts.
Have they told you am leaving
Earthly things behind
Love, perhaps, but not deceiving,
Friendship proved unkind
Yet the sunshine, slowly stealing
Down the soft, green slope,
Brings back all the trustful feeling,
All the dreams of hope.
Have they told you am hasting
To fairer home2
Yes, but here are roses wasting,
Blossoms white as foam;
Here are sun-gilt vine leaves wreathing
Round our cottage door;
Here are solemn fir trees breathing
Fragrance evermore.
Have they told you am setting
All my thoughts on high9
Yes, but can learn forgetting
While old haunts are nighp
When the bracken plumes are swaying
On our pine-crown'd hill,
can almost hear you saying
That you love me still.
Hush hear a footstep falling
On the garden plot,
And voice speaks, softly calling,
Yet answer not
Till feel your arms around me,
On my face your breath,
Love and faith have sought and found m
This is life-not death.

At Kincardine, Ont, recently while a
merchant was weighing out tea he came
across fourteen coins strung on piece
of twine, which had evidently been
dropped by a Chinese workman engaged
in packing the chest. The coins, some
made of copper and others of brass, are
considerably worn. Each coin has a
square holein the center; and from THEN
appearance they had been cast and not
stamped as our coins are.

JEFFERSON CIrr, Mo-, March l5.--
This being the last day for which the
members can draw their five dollars

demoralized the House and untitled it
for all business.
The Senate has devoted its time to
securing the reports of committees.
Solon Chase, OF Maine, is in the city,
and will speak in the hall of the House
tonight.
The concurrent resolution prohibit
ing the manufacture and sale of lntoxi-
eating liquors in this State was discuss
ed at length and fought bitterly. 1t
was lost by vote of sixty-twO ayes to
sixty-ive noes.
A great deal of excitement prevailed
over a resolution offered by Charley
johnson to investigate whether whip
ping is used as mode of punishment
in the Penitentiary. He stated that the
Legislature had refused to establish the
whipping post, and if this prevailed
there 1t was against the law. A hot dis
cussion prevailed, and at one time the
House was in perfect uproar beyond
control. Pending the discussion mo-
ton to adjourn sine die was made, but
so excited was the House that it was
withdrawn. The resolution was adopt

Central Christian Advocate

Central Christian Advocate: Sen.
ator Vest. OF Missouri, is probably
goo d authority in regard Liquor
drinking, but he is out at sea on the
history Of temperance legislation. In
letter to citizen of Missouri, he
says: mo democratic state has a pro-
hibitory liquor law, and no democratic
Legislature ever enacted one" 1t is
a long time since one in his position
showed such ignorance Of what has
been going on in the country during
the last twenty years. We have not
the documents at hand to make an ex-
act statement, but we are confident
that it can be shown that democratic
legislatures have been more forward
than republican in enactlug prohibit
ory liquor laws. Maine was certainly
democratic when the present law was
passed. And we are quite certain
that the same may be affirmed of the
prohibitory laws of Vermnot. Massa-
chusetts, Rhode Island and Michigan.
We advise the senator to study the
subject before he writes again, and
not yield so readily to his intuitions.
The senator may some day find that
he has made a mistake by bidding for
the support of the liquor interest.

The Prison Investigation.

The legislative committee imnledi.
ately began. Yesterday afternoon, the
investigation of the abuses in the penn.
tentiary.
The deputy warden, Capt. Bradbury,
testified that whipping was the most
effective punishment, but it was not
usual to infict it Severely-average
number of strokes might be about sew
en-. but sometimes as high as 40 were
applied. he could remember no in
stance where convict had been inca
pacitated from work from whipping
received.
Mr.. Todd agreed with Bradbury as
to the frequency and extent of whip
ping. didn't think it possible to manage
loo convicts without it.
Mrs. Sanford. matrOn, thought it
necessary to whip female convicts, in
extreme cases; but never heard of any
cruel whipping.
j. w. Dawson was familiar with the
system OF punishment at Joliet and
Waupun, andfthought the discipline in
Missouri penitentiary was decidedly
less severe and more effective than at
those places.
Other witnesses testified in about the
same strain.

This very remarkable enterprise con-
tinnes to make such progress as to as-
tonish its friends and astound its enc

headquarters from the Tribune Bull

in the very midst of the 'book district"

publishing enterprise Of the nation.
This building, though six stories in
heigh 125 feet front and 100 feet deep,
is sufficient only for the offices and re-
tail store of the Company. The man

General Neil Dow in a letter to the
New York Sun replies to the attacks
recently made on the Name liquour
law. He says,
"Within four months after the enact.
ment of the law the jails iii the count
les of kennebec, Franklin, Oxford,
and York were entirely empty; the
jail in Cumberland contained only five
prisoners. three of them rumsellers,
whereas before the law it had been
habitually overcrowded. The house
of correction in Cumberland County
was also empty, while before the law
it had been two small for its inmates.
The Maine law has suppressed entirely
every distillery, brewry and wine fac.
tory in the state, and has extirpated
fully nineteen-twentieths of the liquor
traffic. Some low, vile grog shops
yet remain in our larger cities ard
towns, and will be so until we procure
some slight additions to the law
as it now stands. The discretion Of
our courts, as Of yours, l am sorry to
say, is often employed to make the
rumseller easy inftead of thorny, and
we shall not be able to expel:. the
liquour traffic from our borders thour-
oughly until the courts shall be de-
prived of all discretion in liquor cases
-. From the day of the enactment of
the Maine law, in 1851, to this day no
incident has occurred to justify the de-
SO often made, that it is
failure; on the contrary, it has been and
is now in every wav a great Success"
