Why Mrs. Roberts Did Not Stay.

Mrs. Howe had caller The callers

her into the parlOr and then went up
stairs to help Mrs. Howe, who was
dressing as fast as she could. Trixie
was in mammals room, looking at pict-

TriNie put down her book, and leav-
ing the room, went slowly down stairs,
and finally stopped at the parlor door.
Mamma had often told her not to go i'm
there without permission, but this
naughty little grille dearly loved to
have her own way, and as she stood
| there she said to herself: 81 never saw
that lady before; | should fink it would
be more potter if | would 90 and talk
to her till my mamma is coined down"
SO in she went When Mrs Roberts
saw her she said: "Well, well. whose
little girl is this? Come and sit in my
lap, and give me a sweet, sweet kiss.
Now, little pet. what is your name"
"TriXie, and am four years old next

"Dear me, how dreadfully old you
are getting, to be sure What will you
do when you are four?"
TriXie thought hard for minute, and
then said: ." tinks p'raps l will keep
candy store, Yes, and popcorn, too;
because Dick likes popcorn" she ex-
planned.
"Who is Dick? your canary brd?"
TriXie's brown eyes opened wide, and
such an abused look crept over the lit
tie face. 81 fink YOU is not a VERY
good lady to call my Dick canary bird.

| TrXie shook her head most decisive
ly.
"Is you going to stay to dnner?'
" Not to-day. But why do not you
want me to stay, TriXie?'
because my mamma does not want
you. When Nina told her you was
coined she said (puckering up her small
face, and looking, oh, so crossD: Dos

she said somesin about dinner" Trix-

Trixie was quite right. Mrs. Roberts

Mexican Banks.

Up to last February Mexico had no
banks. Then a concession was given to
French bankers with capital of S2O.-
100000. The Government gave them
the privilege of issuing bills to the
amount of $50, 900, and promised to
give the bank the business of the Gov
crument offices. In return for the con-
cession the bank gives the Government
credit for SlO,000,O00. There is now no
fear of further revolutions in the coun-
try. as with this large credit the Gov
eminent can at once find means to put
down an uprising. In the past the Diff
Guilty has been lack of means to sup
port an army. A bank has also recently
been established in Sonora, one-lifth Of
the capital of which is held by Boston

BABYS FIRST TIME At CHrBcH


Aunt Nellie had fashioned dainty thing.
Of Hamburg and bbOn and lace,
And mamma had said, as she settled it
round
Our beautiful baby's face,
Where the dimples play and the laughter
lies
Like sunbeams hid in her violet eyes:
" If the day is pleasant and baby is good,
She may go to church and wear her new
hood"
Then Ben, aged six, began to tell,
In elder-hrotherly way,
How very, very good she must be
If she went to church next day.
de told of the church, the choir and the
crowd,
And the man upin front who talked so loud A.;
But she must not talk. nor laugh, nor sing,
But Just sit as quiet as anything.
And So on a beautiful Sabbath in May,
men the truit-buds burst into flowers,
CIherc wasn't a blossom on bush or tree
SO fair as this blossom of ours).
All in her white dress, dainty and new,
Our baby sat in the family pew
The grand, sweet music, the revcrent air,
The solemn hush and the voice of prayer
Filled all her baby soul with awe,
As she sat in her little place,
And the holy look that the angels wear
Seemed picture upon her face.
AND the sweet words uttered so long ago
came into my mind with rhythmic flow.
OF such is the Kingdom of Heaven" said
He,
And knew that He spako of such as she.
The swee-Yoiced organ pealcd forth again.
The colleCtion-box came round,
And baby dropped her penny in,
And smiled at the chinking sound.
Alone in the choir Aunt Nellie stood,
waiting the close of the soft prelude
10 begin her solo. Hi I'll and strong
She struck the first note, clear and long.
She held it, and all were charmed but one,
Who, with all the might she had,
Sprang to her little feet AMI cried:
" aunt Nellie, UHtS being bddr
The audience smiled, the minister coughcd
The little boys i'm the corner laughed,
The tenor-man shook like an aspen leaf
And hid his face in his handkerchief.
And poor Aunt Nellie never could tell
How she finished that terrible strain,
But says that nothing on earth would tempt
Her to go through the scene again.
So, we have decided perhaps tbs best,
For her sake, ours and all the rest,
That we wait, may be, for year or two,
Ere our baby re-enter the family pew.

one might be accepted and the other
thrown out. eBut if we do nothing in the
matter, and refuse furthering this Draft
he could not say how long it would last
before we shall have arrived at a point
when we are no longer able to stay this
evil. He did not believe that there is one
Estate in the Island that has not got 4 or
D rumShOpS on it and how gentlemen can
IN private conversation talk OF that rum
safe as a growing evil how it can one
day be admitted chat such IL the fact,
and then another day the existence of that
fact be denied, is something he could not
understand.
3rd Crownmember (FaberJ said that the
question of an excise duty on Rum is an old
idea; 1t had often been spoken Of in the
council it was an idea entertained by one
OF our former Governors and it might in
itself be very good but then there is one
thing we must bear III mind, that the
system would require d great deal
OF control it would require a larger official
stall to control all the rum made III the
island, and there is on the whole not much
desire to enlarge the official staff and
whether that control would be wishful
and practical he could not say. The ques-
ton OF an excise duty on Rum had also been
brought forward in the Royal Commission
OF 1879, where one Member was greatly in
favour of it; the matter had even come
before the Ministry. But how far that
excise wouId yield the large revenue
expected from it, he could not decide.
Any how, planters should be prepared
that in the event of such a tax being
introduced, and some have already named
a tax Of poets on every gallon, it would be
necessary to exercise strict control of all
the rum manufactured here and we see
already how very difficult it il to control
the sac ever within the smaller dlmen
si0ns it would become much more difficult
under other circumstances.
2nd Member for Frederiksted's Country
District (JHRgbaRs) would not now enter
e. the matter brit would beg to
propose tn. the Draft oe referred to a
Committee OF members and he hoped
that the Government would bring In
amendments, and that the Committee will
make the requisite alterations and revision
OF the draft, which, as already stated, the
proponents feel is open for such improve
mCnt.
The CbaiymaR confined The discussions
to the question of a Committee on the
Draft.

planters who were said to be selling rum
to labourers, in fact it had dwindled down
to only one planter. 1t is not here the
real evil lies, but the evil lies in the retail
ing Of rum on estates by lab0Urers TO
labourers, not only in small quantities
but also by the glass. To meet this,
or to do away with this evil, the
Draft is certainly inadequate, even if
it were not so. as has been stated to-day
and as he believed to be the ease, that
there are but very few planters who could
be blamed for the rum-selling; for their
sake it would at all events not be worth
the while to make Il law and even if it
should be so, that it is planters who are 10
be prevented from selling, still the labOur-
ers would readily walk half a mile or q
mile further and get to town, buy their
LIQUOR there and retail it to other labOurers
on the estate. The Draft appeared to him
on the whole to be unnecessary it is name
IT,, a principle in law that all sales Of pro
dUce en- estates are free no restrictions
are laid ON the sale Of produce, because 1t
is not trade: hence the planter should
be entirely free to sell his rum as he best
can TO make such an exceptional law as
the present one will be, it would be requi-
site to slew that some great public good
would be obtained thereby. But here the

on his freedom of selling his produce,
while it would be quite inadequate to sup
press the evil which it aims at removing;
there would be many ways OF eyading the
law. He for his part would certainly pre-
fer to see the Government bring in some
thing better to stop the Tum-selling on
Estates, il which, he must maintain it,
planters in general have not had any great
hand. the business being chiefly carried
on BY lab0urerS themselves, and, hence, it
might. be after all not so very difficult to
repress or eradicate it. lie should think
that an excise duty, or something like an
inland revenue, any how a very high tax,
by which the article would become so dear
that the lower classes could not drink it
might be effective, or more suited to pre-
vent the evil.-But if this Draft were to
