CONDITION OF THE WEATHER THIS
MoREING-CoLDEsT DAY YET.
The Western "blizzard" still con-
tinues to remain around this vicinity,
and the weather 10 still cold. Mer-
curry has a downward tendency, and
early this morning it marked several
degrees below zero. At O'Clock

S degrees below at Bush's coal

About 7 o'clock this morning the
mercury indicated 20 degrees below
zero at Rockland. Some of the r.,

day for many years. This may
sound absurd to some persons, but
the weather of Thursday last had
the effect of making US somewhat

A Boys Gift.

They were raising subscriptions to the
Plymouth church, in Cleveland, years ago.
Many were the struggles and sacrifices which
its walls represented as they went up, One
evening lad said to his mother: 81 mean
to put down twenty-five dollars to the
church. | have niaeteen dollars saved to-
ward watch, and guess | can work out
the other six dollars somehow" So, the
savings of some years went into those walls,
but the boy did not regret the sacrifice. The
remaining six dollars were promptly paid in
The pastor was on at the east soliciting help
tor his church and mentioned, incidentally,
the boy and his watch. After service a
gentleman remarked 10 him, q don't like
the idea of that boy losing his watch"

gentlemen added to the money until seventy.
four dollars were contributed to buy him an
excellent gold watch, which would last him
all his life. The watch was presented at
Sabbath-school celebration, the day after
the church was dedicated, the pastor relat-
ing the circumstances and calling out the
lad whose head was down, on the seat be-
fore him, weeping from excessive emotion.

The Classic Drunkard.

The bar-keeper was about to close up. He
had said so several times, and had put out
all the lights but one. The old fixtures had
shook the sawdust from their feet and re-
luctantly directed their footsteps homeward.
Only stranger remained dark, subdued
man, who sat demurely on stool and kept
his thumbs revolving around each other like
white mice turning a little wheel. When
the coast was clear he stepped up to the bar
and said softly; "May | whisper word in
your ear 7" You may, mister, if you will be
quick about it," replied the drink-mixer,
with his hand on the lamp screw. al want
you, now that we are all alone, to fill me a
flask of your best whisky for family sick
ness" said the stranger, drawing out an an
cient wallet with twenty fathoms of leather
string wound around it-a well-worn wallet,
that looked as if the waves and pillows Of
bad luck had beat upon it, and gone over it,
and through it, and iattened it, and polished
it, and washed it out clean. The bar-man
filled him up a pint, and showed down the
cork until it squeaked, wiped the bottle dry,
and set it upon the counter "The autumna
air is getting trifle tartish," soliloquized
the stranger. "Would you have any objec-
ton to my taking little liver-padder from
my bottle 2" He filed the tumbler quite
full-took it as he did paregoric in the days
OF his infancy-and then remarked; " Per-
haps, on the whole, as the night has far
waned, and my family are on their spiral
springs and in their trundles, you had better
put my bottle away on the upper shelf and
when Phebus Apollo begins to canter his
golden prancers along the avenues of the
purple east, l will call for it, and you may
then assess me the appropriate amount of
ducats." The bar-keeper sprang over the
counter and began to kick him. What !"
he said sweetly, "you kick me after have
drank? Don't you know better than that
Kick me with both feet-I cannot feel you
even then. Before took that glass, if you
had shook your fist at me, you would have
wounded me-hurt me but now | scorn
your physical punishment. Good night" he
said as he stood on the doorstep. al see by
the shadow on the sidewalk that you have
kicked me again. You should remember,
my irascible publican, what the dear old
poet said Fate cannot harm me now

A New York Bar for Women.

The latest project for the refreshment of
fashionable women is a bar. Now, bar
rooms in which disreputable women drink
are no novelty; but this is no such concern.
1t is as respectable as it is unique. 1t is in
Broadway, close to Stewards great mart and
Wallack's theater, in the midst of hand
some retail establishments. The front is
respondent with plate-glass, and the store
itself is wide, deep and elegantly fitted up.
The walls and ceiling are frescoed, and the
floor is marble. One side is devoted to the
sale OF confectionery. That shows the pro-
prietors shrewdness, for women probably
would not go in if there was nothing but a
bar in the place. The bar runs along the
opposite side, and is about the same in size
as those of the best cafes, though the marble
counter is little lower. An immense mir
ror faces the drinkers, and the back-bar is
adorned with cut-glasses and decanters. In
stead of beer pump, however, there is a
soda fountain. Piles of lemons, an orna-
mental lemon-squeezer, groups of ginger ale
bottles, and pyramids of silver Tom-and-
Jerry cups, make a display as gorgeous as
can be found on any bar in the city. Two
bar-tenders OF the regulation pattern, with
their hair and mustaches carefully brushed,
diamonds glistening on their polished shirt
fronts, and the sleeves of their white coats
turned up to the elbows, are constantly on
duty. Hard liquors " are not sold, exc pr
in mixed drinks, as in Tom-and-Jerries, on
which the run during the present cold
weather is brisk. They are made hot and
sweet and the women dote on them. The next
most popular drink just now is hot punch
composed Of rum, lemon-juice, water and a
! dash OF brandy. Sometimes settler is or

chocolate and lemonade are also sold in large
quantities. On days of moderate tempera
ture the call is for cold lemonade claret
punch, ginger ale and soda water. While
was there yesterday the pop of the ale-bottlt
was momentary and the lever of the lemon.

Women stand three feet deep in front Of the

each paid for her. own dissipation; but as a

| polite bar-room manners, though they wer,
given to slipping their beverages slowly, in

drinking went on. | asked one of the bar
tenders why he didn't keep lager beer OF

Where do Drunkards Come From.

DIR. Crosby says it is false, our constant

FIVE THINGS.
To keep the lip
From many n slip,
Five things observe with care
on whom you speak,
To whom you speak,
