So thought a country housewife one day
this spring when her only boy returned
from market with thickened speech and
bloated face, lost to memory, and reckless
of discovery. In the morning, after late
breakfast, he sauntered out to the garden,
intent on grumbling and fault finding in
his state of morbid depression following a
debauch. Some one had planted early
peas that came through the ground weak
and puny under the shadow of large
tree that stood beside the garden fence.
"Such fools,' said this ill-tempered youth.
Didn't they know that the tree would
eat the strength out of the ground and
leave no nourishment, and what can grow
in the shadow of fence like that ?" The
mother sighed. "Ah, my son." she said,
it is like the grog shops by the wayside,
that eat the strength out of your life, and
nothing can thrive that is planted in your
heart in the shadow of this great evil."-

How Watch Gases are Made.

The many great improvements intro
duced in the manufacture of the Jas. Boss
Gold Watch Case, have led to similar i'm.
provements in the making of silver cases.
Under the old methods, each part of
silver case was made of several pieces of
metal soldered together, requiring a great
amount Of cutting and soldering, which
softened the metal and gave it the pliability
of lead rather than the elasticity of silver.
Under the improved methods, each part
of the Keystone Silver Watch Case is made
of one solid piece of metal hammered into
shape. The advantages are readily appar-
ent, for every one knows that hammering
hardens the metal while soldering sotens it.
To test the superiority of the Keystone
Silver Watch Case, take one of 3 or weight,
press it squarely in the center when closed,
and it will not give, while case of same
weight of any other make will give enough
to break the crystal. The Keystone Silver
Watch Case is made only with silver cap
and gold joints.

Temperance.
Meaning OF &c Licensa.v

Several correspondents have written to
us in tone OF cepsure because we do not
denounce the principle of legalizing the
sale of that which is injurious to the pub
lie welfare. They reason that if the use
of Intoxicating liquors is the cause of
poverty and crime, it is wrong for the
state to permit the sale, and therefore to
advocate high license or any license is
wrong. This is plausible but not sound
reasoning. The use of alcohol, as the
use of any other form of poison, is not in
itself sinful or wrong. II depends on
circumstances whether it is right or not
to take poisonous drugs. They are some
times prescribed by physicians and may
be of vital value. Even the greatest
authority-the Word of God-mentions
the occasion when it is duty to adj.
minister strong drink. Therefore it is
right to regulate by law the sale of
poisons. Enter any drug store in this
city and you will find the law which re-
quires the druggist to keep register of
the name of every person to whom he sells
poison. The sale is not prohibited it is
regulated. 1t is not 80 with things
which are always and everywhere wrong.
The sale ought not to be licensed, or reg
ulsted, but prevented. Thus gambling
and RIGHTEOUSNESS are not to be allowed.
In some cities and countries houses for
these vices are licensed. But the weight
of opinion is decidedly against the prac-
tice. If there were no laws to regulate
the sale of poisons, there would be uni
verssl and indiscriminate traffic in them,
and they would be tenfold greater evil
than they are now. Therefore the state
says you shall not sell them except under
such and such restrictions. The law is
to restrain the sale, not to encourage it.
As a tax on the importation of liquor re-
strains and diminishes the quantity i'm
ported, so the tax or fee imposed on
licenses diminishes the number of those
who sell. The higher the fee required,
the less number who will pay it. We
must take the world as it is and try to
make it better as fast as we can. The
time is coming when public opinion will
sustain laws totally restraining citizens
from selling Intoxicating liquors to be
used as beverage. That time is coming
apace. Meanwhile it is the part of
wisdom and philanthropy to put as many
obstacles in the way as possible. 1t is
well to reduce the number of saloons, if
we cannot abolish them all. If tax of
$1,000 year is not high enough to greatly
reduce the number, let us make it $4,000
or $4,000, just as high as public opinion
will allow. By and by we may here, as
they have done in other ATTITUDES, sup
press the traffic.-Independsnt.

Ridley and Latimer.

During the reign of Queen Mary, nearly
three hundred people were burned alive
in three years, martyrs for Christ. Many
more suffered imprisonment, fines, aud
other punishments. Among others, Bish-
ops Ridley and Latimer, both aged men,
were burned alive in the public street at
Oxford, in the year 1866. They were both
holy and good men, whose one desire was
to live and witness for the Savior. And
for his dear sake they laid down their
lives. They both prayed much, during
their imprisonment, that they might have
no fear ON the day of their death, but
might glorify God in the fire. And
he answered their request. AS they
walked along together to the stake,
Latimer said, "Be of good heart, BROTHER;
for God will either assuage the fury
of the fame, or else strengthen US to
abide it," When they reached the stake,
they knelt in earnest prayer, and then
talked together till the smith came
and bound band of iron around each
martyrs body to fasten him to the stake.
Just as the fire was lighted at their feet,
Latimer turned to his friend, and spoke
the aforementioned words Be of good
courage, Master Ridley, and play the
man we shall this day light such can
die, by Gods grace, in England, as trust
shall never be put out" So they encour-
aged one another, till Latimer's suffer
ings were over, and he was safe home
with his Lord, out of the reach of his enc
mics forever. Ridley suffered much more
and much longer; the fire blew away from
him, owing to strong wind, and his ag-
onies were great. But God kept him calm
and steadfast, and after awhile he followed
Latimer into the joy of his Lord, 20 re-
ceive the martyrs crown.-Selected.

4 Trick on . Spider.

John R. coryeli, in st. Nicholasl
 A great many years ago a prisoner of state, who was allowed to cheer the soli- tude of his dungeon by playing on his flute, discovered af,er while that every time he played, great number of spiders gathered about him. Since then the lik- ing of spiders for music has been proved. myself had often wished to play for a spider audience, but was not we'll enough acquainted with any musical instrumen, to coax tune out oft. 4 scientific gen. tleman of Europe gave me a valuable hint by an experiment of his own. He used tuning fork Now can play a tuning fork as well as anybody. pro. cured tuning fork and then sought out spider. Hound a handsome brand new web, and though did not see Mis- tress Epeira, knew she must be at home. Epeira Diadema is her full name, though most persons call her garden spider. It is she who makes those beautiful. wheel like webs which festoon the rose bushes and trees. As have said, Madame Spi- der was not visible. 1 knew, however, she must be in her gossamer parlor, which is attached to her web. Here was good chance to try tuning fork music. rap- ped the fork on a stone and in moment soft, melodiovs hum filled the air. I touched one of the spokes of the web with the fork, On the instant madam flew ous of her parlor in great haste, hesitated a moment at the outer edge of the web, and then, instead of going straight to the tuning fork, ran to the very center of the web. When there she quickly caught hold of the spokes one after the other and gave it little tug, as boy does his fishing line to see if a fish is hooked. Each was passed by her until she came to the spoke upon which the humming fork rested. There she stopped, and i, was easy to see she was excited. She gave the whole web shake, then tugged at the spoke again. Hup-m-m-m still sang the fork, rather iaintfy now, however. Madam was satished. Her mind was made up. Down she dar,ed and caught the end of the fork in her arms. She tried to bite into the hard metal, and at the same time she spun a web of silk around and around the two prongs, which by this time had ceased vibrating. l pulled the fork away, and Mime. Epeira retired in disappointment to the center of the web. But if she was disappointed, SO was l, for was satisfied that it was not the music of the fork tha, had attracted her. Unfortunately is was altogether too probable that she mis,ook the hum of the fork for the buzz of fly: a sort of music no doubt very swee, to her Time after time l repeated the experiment with the fork, touching in turn each spoke of the web, and each time Mime. Spider was deluded into trying 10 catch the tuning fork. It was odd that she did no, learn wisdom by repeated disappointment.

Died of a Broken Heart.
San Antonio Express


 A few days ago there occurred death in San Antonio, the circumstances of which, for pathos and sadness, have no parallel in the field of fcton. The inno- cent victim of double dealing was a pupil in the high school, and was candidate, through the solicitation of her friends, for Queen of the May. Bu. this was all a cruel hoax. gotten up for amusement Her mates promised to vote for her, even writing her name on slips of paper and showing them to her until the ambitious child's hopes were raised to the highest pitch. When the hour for counting the votes arrived it showed one single vote for her-one single, faithful heart. The poor child, almost broken-hearted, laid her head on her desk and cried bitterly. However, promising herself nice time at the party, she went home, only to be taken i'll, which illness, though slight at first, soon developed into brain fever. Through all her sickness, her heated brain constantly turned on the cruel joke that had been played by her schoolmates, who even yet said that - was sick from disappointment. But as she grew rapidly worse their smiles were changed to tears of remorse. Too late. A few days ago she died, broken hearted over the duplic- ity and double-dealing of her school mates.
