Selling Beer to Small Children.

A few days ago John Stuckey,
hard-workingman, who lives at No.
7 Carmine street, addressed letter to
the Society for the Prevention of Cru
city to Children, complaining of liquor
sellers in the neighborhood, who were
in the habit of selling liquor to his
son Willie, age nine, for the use of
Mrs. Stuckey. He complained that
his wife was an habitual drinker, and
that she spent all the money she could
get for liquor, and was in the habit Of
sending Willie after it. A watch was
set ON the boys movements, and it was
not long before he was seen coming
from the rum shop at No. Z Sixth
avenue. Duvigneaux, the clerk who
sold the liquor to the child, was ar
rested and held in 500 bail for trial
on the charge of selling liquor to a
minor. Yesterday officers of the soci-
ETY., while in the neighborhood, saw
Maggie Stevens, mite of a child,
with pot of beer, which she had
bought at the barroom of Jacob Deitz,
at No. Z Carmine street. The officer
followed the child to Mrs. Stuckey's
room, where she gave the beer to Mrs.
Stuckey. 1t was learned that Maggie
was the daughter of one of the neigh
bors, and that Mrs. Stuckey had sent
her for the beer, fearing to send the
boy again. Yesterday afternoon Dietz
was arrested and held for trial, with
bail at 800, on the charge of selling
liquor to a minor.-N. Y. Tribune.

lSpringfield Republic.1
LiGuOr LEGISLATION,

A Columbus dispatch to a Cincin-
natl paper is reproduced below:
The Republican convention next
Spring will doubtless nominate Gov.
Foster for reelection by acclamation i;
but, even with his great popularity,
the party will have to do hard work to
overcome the injury brought upon it
by the General Assembly, body of
narrow-gauge statesmen who have
given more attention to injurious and
hurtful legislation than any Legisla-
ture has for several years. The agi-
tation of the temperance question, 10
cal option, and kindred ''reformatory
measures which would not and could
not be enforced, is giving the Demo-
Gratis material for the next campaign
which, it is unnecessary to say will be
hurtful.
There is a great deal Of this silly
impairment, impudent stuff circulat-
ing in the newspapers. The flow of
this sort of nonsense ought to be shut
off, but it never will be until the Fool
Killer invents and constructs an i'm
mense double-geared, steel~toothed
reaper, with front, back and side ac-
ton, runs it through few newspaper
establishments, and ends up with q
raid upon their correspondents. Tc
begin with, these smart fellows who
pretend to be the original and only
true Republicans, do their feeble best
to give the party away in advance
The sort Of persons who give up the
battle before the fight begins are mo-
merely towards but imbeciles.
Now what is the matter with these
'narrow-gauge statesmen" from thu
standpoint Of the broadgauge newspa

WHEN will the churches take as
much pains to know what the men
are whom they propose to call to be
their pastors, as business men take to
know what the persons are who would
be appointed to responsible clerkships {?
1t would be an extraordinary thing
for a person to get such clerkshlp
in this city without giving the needed
references for searching inquiry. But
every now and then we hear Of
churches which have brought grief
and reproach upon themselves by the
neglect Of this cOmmon-sense clrcum-
spection in settling pastors. Nobody
doubts that pastor occupies a more
important position than any clerk can
possibly do. Why then should a
church make a man its pastor before
having thorough knowledge Of his an
tecedents? Gases have occurred, and
not long ago either, in which church.
es rushed into the calling of pastors
with scarcely any real knowledge of
their character, and to find when too
late that they had been wretchedly de-
ceiyed IN their men. How unspeaka-
bly, better to make the necessary in
quiries at the first? And whom have
a deceived church to blame but them
selves for the neglect that has afiiict-
ed them with grief, division and
shame? No man ought ever to be
elected pastor Of church before it is
known, from painstaking inquiry
what his past record is.-ErQminer 6

ONE or two Democratic organs have
already hoisted the name of their Pres
idential candidate for 1884. Defeat
doesn't seem to discourage them at all.
They are just as brisk in setting up
candidates now as they were twenty
years ago, though they have gone to
the wall in six National contests.
There is probably no parallel to their
courage, unless it be in the case of the
Texas widow. On receiving mild re-
buke from the minister, when she was
about to be married to her fifth hus-
band, she replied: "Well, | just want
you to understand if the Lord keeps
on taking them shall, tool" The
Democracy seems to be actuated by
the same independent spirit. 1t pro-
poses to set up candidates just as long
as the people continue to knock them

Murder in a 'EBucket Shop"
A Fatal Quarrel Among Italians-Results of
Anger and Rum-One Man Murdered and
Another Said to be Fatally Wounded.

A liquor store frequented by Ital-
ians, and known as bucket shop"
is kept by Michael Tosso and Rapallo
Bove at No. Al Mulberry-st. The
place was crowded at midnight last
night, and large quantities of stale beer
had been drunk when a violent quar-
rel occurred. A pistol-shot and cries
of murder were heard in the street.
When the police entered the place,
they found the body of Nicolo San
dresee, a middle-aged Italian, lying on
the floor with knife wound in the
breast. Near him lay another Italian
named Louis Cicate, who appeared to
be nortally wounded. He had a cut
in the back and bullet wound in the
breast. Many of the Italians who saw
the affray had escaped and as usual
there was much difficulty in learning
the facts.
It was said that the two men had
quarreled and fought, that Sandresee
had attacked and wounded the other
Italian, who in turn stabbed him to
the heart. Sandresee had been killed
instantly. His body was taken to the
Mulberry Street Police Station, and
Cicate was taken to st. Vincent's Hos
pital in an ambulance. The police ar
rested the proprietors Of the place, and
were engaged this morning in search
ing for other witnesses. 1t was be-
lieved by the police that some Of the
Italians who escaped took part in the
fight which led to the murder. The
cause of the quarrel could not be
learned.-N. Y. Tribune.

AN OLD WlFE'S VALENTINE.
BY MARY A. BARR.

The old wife stood at her garden gate
The eve of St. Valentines Day;
She watched for the post. that like Fate

Passed over the hill and out of sight.

And her daughter called, sweet AID clear,

And the boys and father are here.'
"Ah yes.'' she said, land the II light is cold;
Iquite forget that I'm growing DID,
At breakfast lay at the fathers place
A letter as white as the snow;
He looked at it with a curious face,
And said, Now want to know!'
The boys all smiled the mother grew
Ger face and throat a crimson hue.
He opened the dainty letter then,
And 10. in satiny fold
Was painted rose, and forset-me-not,
And lilies with hearts of gold;
And, under the whole. just one sweet line
''ForeUer, forepor, thy Valentine.
He touched the note with a tender care,
And he went to his sweet wife's side;
He stroked with his hand her snow-white hair,
And he kissed her with loving pride,
Saying, with smiles and misty tears,
my Valentine through fifty gears"
"Oh, boys.' he said with youthful pride,
After fifty years of life,
If you find in your home, and by your side,
4 fair and faithful wife,
Count your life lucky, as count mine,
And loyalty kiss your Valentine

THE process hy which church fair pays church

This is about the way an old Irish
couple went into the liquor business.
They bought barrel of whisky, and
had Just ten cents left. They tapped
the barrel at each end, and it was un-
derstood that the old man was to have
charge Of one faucet and the old wo-
man the other They were now ready
for business, and the old man walked
briskly up to the old lady's bar and
asked for a drink, which was present
ed in tin cup and paid for with the
dime. Pretty soon the old lady got a
drink Of the old man, and paid for it
with the same dime. In this way the
whisky was all sold for cash, and the
proceeds bore about the same relation
to the cost Of the goods that the pro-
ceeds Of a church fair do to its cost

THE NEW BIRTH.
HERMAN MERIVALE.


God spake in a voice of thunder,
OF old from Sinai's hill;
And the mystic words of wonder
Thrill the believer still;
He sees in the vault above him,
With the eye of faith alone.
Gemmed round by the souls that love him,
The great Creators throne.
He sees, in the day of danger,
The column of cloud that led,
From the land of the alien stranger,
His Israel whom he fed;
And knows, tho his footsteps wander
Astray in twilight land,
That his home is building Wonder,
By the one unerring hand.
He sees, in the night of peril,
The pillar of fire that shone
From the halls of pearl and beryl,
To light Gods children on;
And feels that straight from Heaven,
When the eye of sense grows dim,
Shall a grander sight be given
To all who trust in him.
On the page of the mighty ocean
He reads the mightier still,
Who curb its restless motion
By the law of his royal Will;
And while in its course diurnal
1t murmurs, or sings, or raves,
He lists to the voice eternal,
In the language of the waves.
He marks in the plants around him
The throbs of a life their own,
While the worldless worlds that bound him
Whisper their undertone.
From the hawk and the hound yet clearer
He hears the secret fall,
Which nearer to him and nearer
Brings the great God of all.
In the leaves that blow and perish
In the space of single hour,
AS the loves that most we cherish
Die like the frailest flower
In the living things whose living
Withers or e'er they bloom,
He reads of the great thanksgiving
Which breathes from the open tomb.
The bright spring leaves returning
To the stem whence autumn's fell,
And the heart of summer burning.
To change at the winters spell,
The year that again repasses,
The grain that again reviyes,
Are signs on the darkened glasses
That bar and bound our lives.
know how the glass must darken
To my vision more and more,
" hen the weak ear strains to hearken,
When the faint eye glazeS oer;
But the glass shall melt and shiver,
Once kissed by the fighting breath,
And the light beyond the river
Shine full in the face of Death.
Strongest in strong affection,
We look to the golden prime,
When a mightier resurrection
Shall burst on the doubts of time;
And the thoughts of all the sages.
Like the waves of the fretful main,
AT the base of the Rock OF Ages
Shall foam and fume in vain.
