Little Things.

More depends upon little things than
we think. 1t is said that Voltaire, when
i've years old, learned an infidel poem,
and was never able to free himself from
its effects.
Scott, the commentator, when despair
ing, read hymn of DR.. Watts and was
turned from life of idleness and sin to
one of usefulness.
Cowper, about to drown himself, was
carried the wrong way by his driver,and
went home to write "Ged moves in
mysterious way"
The rebuke of teacher reused DIR.
Clark to great action. who mad up to
that time been very slow in acquiring
Knowledge.
Ole Bull, the great violinist, was res
cuedfrom suicide by drowning and ia
ken to the near residence of wealthy
lady, became her protege, and soon ac-
quired fame.
Robert MOffat. distinguished mis-
siOnary, reading placard announcing a
missionary meeting, was led to devote
himself to work for the heather. One
step downward often leads men to the
greatest guilt. 1t is the little words or
actions that make or mar our lives. =

The Rev. DIR. L. W. Bacon, of
Norwich, Conn, wages firm contest
against liquor dealers. The appli,
cants for licenses and the commits
sioners find in him an unbulldozable
objector. When the case of GER
tain firm was up the other day he OBJ
jected on the ground that they were
the confederates of the worst Grimm
ais in the town. .Do you mean that?"
said one of the men. 81 do, re-
piled the clergyman. IF you repeat
it I will have you arrested and make
you prove what you say shouted the
man. Mr.. Bacon said, deliberately !:
II charge you with being the confed-
crate of the worst criminals in town"
The firms application was signed by
respectable citizens, said the CONS
missioners, and endorsed by the Sc
lectmen, (which makes us, in Mr..
Bacon's judgment, the endorsers of
a brothel.'' "That is undoubtedly
the truth" INTERCEPTED the clergy

ments are not included in the per-
mits granted to the keepers of cof-
fee and beer or wine houses, hotels,
or gin houses. Such amusements
must be specially licensed. The reg
ulation of public amnsements is re-
ferred to the local police, whose dis
erection in villages is limited TO one
permission month. In the Rhine
provinces public amusements, as
dancing, are limited by law in NUNS
Der and duration.
IL. The communes are permitted,
with the approval of the State, to
tax luxury, ostentation, and public
pleasures. In Lubbock, in addition
to license tax, special taxes are laid
which are not only restrictive, but
largely prohibitory. The keepers of
such places vigorously resisted the
special tax in court, but without sue
cess.
ss12. Whoever remains in a schenk-
stube (wine or beer saloon) or place
of public resort beyond the pre-.
scribed police hours may be fined
five thalers, and the landlord who
permits such violation may be fined
20 thalers or imprisoned fourteen
days. The police requirements de-
mand that such places shall be
closed on or before midnight.
"13. Whoever violates the ordi-
nance against the disturbance of
Sunday, or holidays, or solemn an
niversaries, may be fined 20 thalers
or imprisoned fourteen days.
GA Keepers of drinking places
who continue to sell spirituous
liquors to a person whom the police
have designated to them as drunk
ard, or who permit such persons to
remain in their public rooms, may
be fined from two to five thalers,
and any retail vender of beer and
wine who continues to sell such
beverages to any one who betrays
traces of drunkenness may be fined
from one>half to ten thalers. Repe
tition of the offense results in the
withdrawal and cancellation of the
offenders license.
SIS. Keepers of houses where
drinks are sold, or billiard saloons
or confectionery shops, are not ala
lowed to receive upon their premises
scholars in the public schools and
other educational institutions of the
place, unless such scholars shall be
accompanied by their parents or
guardians. Neither is the sale of
food or drink to such. scholars at the
places named permitted, and the fact
that the person violating this act
did not know that they were receiv-
ing or selling to scholars in the
schools may not be pleaded in mitis

Cigarettes Versus Cigars.

Cigarettes are commonly supposed
to be more injurious than cigars; but
DIR. Kissing, of the Bremen board
or health, thinks otherwise. The
Medical and Surgical Report gives
this summary of his researches:
Gas grave poisons he found carr
bonoxyd, sulphuretted hydrogen.
prussic acid, picrolin bases, and mic
otine. The first three cannot come
into consideration, as they are too
volatile, and present in too small
quantities. Regarding the nicotine,
however, he found that very small
trace only is burned up by the
smoke, but that the stump becomes
the richer in this narcotic substance,
the larger the cigar is the more the
end is chewed, the shorter the
stump gets, and the oftener the
cigar is Lit. Conclusion To avoid
all. danger, smoke a cigar not too
thick and long, don't chew the end,
smoke only two-thirds of every CT
gar, and throw it away as soon as
relighting becomes necessary. Never
smoke cigar after it has once gone
out. Cigarettes are the least injurie
ous of all tobacco smoking"

THE DEATH OF THE FLOWERS

The melancholy days, are come, the saddest
of the year,
Of wailing winds, and naked woods. and
meadows brown and sere
Heaped in the hollows of the grove, the au-
tumn leaves lie dead;
They rustic to the eddying gust, and to the
rabbits tread.
The robin and the wren are flown, and from
the shrubs the jay,
And from the wood-top calls the crow
throuh all the gloomy day.
Where are the flowers, the fair young flow
ers, that lately sprang and stood
In brighter light and softer airs, beaute-
Gus sisterhoods
Alas they are all in their graves, the gem
tie race of flowers
Are lying in their lowly beds, with the fair
and good of ours.
The rain is falling where they lie, but the
cold November rain
Calls not from out the gloomy earth the
lovely ones again.
The wind-fower and the violet, they perish
ed long ago.
And the brler-rose and the orohis died amid
the summer glow;
D&s o1 sAsO ILL eAO SUlItu-rOO, ana the as
ter in the wood,
And the yellow sIln-fower by the brook in
autumn beauty stood,
Till fell the frost from the clear cold heaven,
as falls the plague on men.
And the brightness of their smile was gone.
from upland, glade, and glen.
And now, when comes the calm mild day,
as still such days will come,
To call the squirrel and the bee from out
their winter home;
When the sound of dropping nuts is heard
though all the trees are still,
And twinkle In the smoky light the waters
of the rill
The south wind searches for the flowers
whose fragrance late he bore.
And signs to find them in the wood and by
the stream no more.
And then think of one who in her youth
full beauty died,
The fair meek blossom that grew up and
faded by my side.
In the cold moist earth we laid her, when
the forests cast the leaf,
And we wept tn 1t one so lovely should have
a life SO trief;
Yet not unmeet it was that one like that
young FREUD of ours,
So gentle and SO beautiful, should perish
with the flowers.
