Hon " H. Williams. one of the Supreme Court Judges of Pennsylvania, i'll referring to the County of Potter, where prohibition law prevails, says For twenty years there has not been a licensed hotel or restaurant in the county There are enough of both at all suitable places for the accommodation Of the public, but in none of them Is there public bar. The sale Is conducted therefore at great disadvantage clandestinely, and Is very limitel ip amount As to results l can say that while the county has been steadily growing in population and business, pauper- Isn and crime have steadily decreased For the past five years the county jail has been fully one half fse time without any other inmates than the keeper and his family.
 Twice within the past ten years l have, at the regular terms of court. discharged the
 jury on the second day of the term, with Tt their having been called on to hear a single case of any description. The elect of this
 system Is felt IT, many ways; taxes are re- duced; the business of the criminal Courts greatly diminished. industry and sobriety take the place Oi idleness and dissipation, and intelligence an' morality are advanced
 The above statement IS certainly worth the candid considcr ration of al, but especially of the taXpapeFs ond those who desire the best good or the people To reduce taxes and elevate the coadi,i'n of the people, remove
 the cause oI crime, which Is found laig ' In the licenses all a very important step Wll have been taken iu [ t riglt direction.

to whom she had imprudently declared

official document, SO as to make it cor.

made. -
The ceremony took place, and the hus-
band was duly united to lady whom he
believed to be jeune ingenue. Unfor-
,tunately the certificate, in passing
through some Office happened to be
infinitely examined by one of the clerks.

,,of falsifying a public document, and
condemned to spend, if not her honey.

of her married life in prison.
Z She had the courage TO appeal from
the sentence, and cause the case to be
argued out before the Court at Metz,
which reversed the decision Of the in.

ON the ground that she did not intend
to commit an illegal act, but had been
actuated only by 'sfernale vanity"

only goes to show how the smallest draw.

out of the SWEETEST occasion. " - '.'
1t seems that the ceremony was very
grand affair, indeed. There were eight
bridesmaids, and the church was crowded
from pit to dome, as the dramatic critics
would say. But, when they got to the
proper place in the ceremony, and the
groom feeling for the ring, he discovered
that it want on hand. After the min
lister had scowled atthe miserable wretch
for awhile, the latter detected the magic
circlet had slipped through hole in his
pocket and worked into his boot. He
communicated the terrible fact in whis-
per TO the bride, who turned deadly pale,
and was only kept from fainting by the
reflection that they would inevitably
cut the strings Of her satin corsage in
case she did.
"Why don't You produce the ringT
whispered the brides big brother, hoarse-
ly, and feeling for his pistol, under the
impression that the miserable man was
about to back out.

the groom under his breath, his very hair
meanwhile turning red with mortifica-
ton. ....-..... I.-..... .

THE GIvER AND THE TAKER.

tfhe following is an attempt to versify ltera
translation Of poem by the Hindoo writer. Tineva
uva, who lived, it is supposed in the third centur,
Of our era He was remarkable for his hatred o
idolatry and caste, and for his almost Christian
conception Of God and human duty.l
Who gives what others may not see,
Nor counts on favor, fame or praise,
Shall find his smallest gift outweighs
The burden of the mighty sea.
Who gives to whom hath naught been given,
His gift in need though small indeed
AS is the grass blades wind-bown seed.
Is large as earth and rich as heaven.
Forget thou not. o man to whom
A gift shall fall, while yet on earth,
Yea, even to thy seven.fold birth,
Revive it in the lives to come!
Who, brooding, keeps . wrong in thought,
Sins much, but greater sin is his
Who, fed and clothed with kindness,
Shall count the holy aims as naught.
For he who breaks all laws may still
In Swans mercy be forgiven;
But none can save in earth or heaven
The wretch who answers good with III!
-[John G, Whittier, in Waif
