SENSIBLE TEMPERANCE WORK.
 Some movements" ostensibly in the in terest of temperance very foolish, but 8, plan which has been formed in Brooklyn, \ New York, is not of this character. It has. for it's object the detection and prosecution of those dealers who sell adulterated liquor. Those most active in it are large employers of labor whose observation has led them to the conclusion that the low groggeries are not only curse to the workmen themselves, but, in many instances, to their families also. It is not their intention to make war against all saloon keepers, but to restrict their crusade to those places where the liquor sold is not even useful as stimulant. In pursuit of their purpose they have determined to em- ploy an agent whose duty it will be to collect samples of the stuff sold for liquor in the dives of the city, with a view to having it analysed If it is discovered that any of the samples are really injurious, steps will be taken to prosecute those from whom they were obtained The law provides for the punishment by imprisonment for three months and by fine of $100 of all persons convicted of ''adulterating imported or other intoxicating liquors with poison ous or deleterious drugs, oils or mixtures, or selling the same, or with knowingly importing, distilling or selling intoxicating liquors or wines adulterated with poisonous or deleterious drugs or mixtures" If this law is to be rigidly inforced it is doubtful if many sa- loon keepers would be able to escape punish ment, as the adulteration of liquor is most extensively practiced. But if the section is openly violated anywhere it is by just that class of liquor sellers against whom the new movement is directed. .
 This movement ought to and doubtless will receive hearty support. AS the Brook lyn Union puts it. '"There can be no possible doubt that the bucket shops work more injury than can easily be calculated. Their proprietors furnish for a small sum larger quantity of spirits than can be obtained for like outlay in any respectable saloon, and the article which they supply is, for the most part, of such quality as not only to easily produce intoxication, but also to cause serious injury to the physical condition of those who partake of it." Men will continue to drink intoxicating liquors, and they should be protected against drinking poi soned liquors sold for pure. We should like to see this Brooklyn movement generally and actively initiated

Work and Longevity.


 Ericsson. the veteran inventor, was elgh- ty-one years old recently. He is in excel lent health and works, it is said, sixteen hours day, thus proving an exception to the general rule Perhaps it might be fair ly asserted that busy men live longer than idle men; that work is, after all, the true elixir of life Many noteworthy instances where longevity coincides with remarkable mental activity will easily occur to the reader.
 Was not Sophocles more than ninety when, to prove that he was not in his do- tape-as his heirs claimed in order to get his noney-he wrote one of his greatest tragedies? Did not Humboldt do more work at four score than many bright men do at forty? Goethe, as every one knows, died with pen in hand at the age of eigh- tv-two. Won Ranke, the foremost of living historians, has just published another vol ume of his Universal History; he will be eiphty-nine years old next December. Car lyle and Emerson lost none of their. V1gor until they reached three-seore years and ten. And to-day who imagines that Oliver Wendell Holmes, already on the verge Of seyenty-five, is old? Longfellow did some of his best work shortly before his death, at seyenty-five, and Whittier is now two years older than that. The vast energies, whose sum in many directions are known as Victor Hugo shows no signs of decrsp- itude, although it is more than eighty-two years since Victor Hugo was born. Histo- rians, it may be remarked, have usually been long lived.
 Voltaire died at eighty-four; Thierry and Michelet at seyenty-six Mignet and Guizot at eighty-seven. George Bancroft is now eighty-four and George Ticknor lived to be eighty. In public life we have had several recent examples of great men whose power for statesmanship did not diminish through age Gladstone is nearly seventy-hve, and Palnaerston was prime minister at the time of his death, two days before he had com p1eted his eighty-frst year. Benjamin Frank lin, in the last century, lived to be eighty four.
 These instances suffice to show that there are constitutions which not only can bear, but which actually need the stimulus of hard work up to a very advanced period Of course, on the other hand, might be cited the remarkable men who died young, but even from their experience the fact might be brought out not that they were killed by overwork, but by irrational work. Usually, as in the case of Keats, early death is the re- suit of chronic disease. Shelley, who is al ways mentioned among those whose lives stretched out span, was drowned accident ally, and there is good reason to believe that but for this he would have lived to oid age' because he was physically strong.
 Raphael, Mozart, Byron, Burns ana Schu, bert succumbed just at an age when most men reach their prime, but It must noG pe l forootten that the last three undermined their health by excesses. Shakespeare, Napoleon, 1 Cesar and Beethoven, recognized as the unr1- valed giants in their respective departments

It is evident, therefore, that while no strict law can be established, there is a relation between longevity and labor. Work preserves the health, while idleness tends to weaken it.
