Would it be right for me TO derive my
living from the sale of a drug which pro.
duced misery or madness; which excited
the passions and brutalzed tile mind, and
ruined the souls of my fellow-men?
Sd. Can ii be right for me TO derive my
living from that which destroys forever
the happiness of the domestic circle, and
which is filling the land with women and
children In condition far more deplorable
than that of widows and orphans?
4th. Can it be right for me to derive
my living from that which is known to be
the cause of nine-tenths of all the crimes
which are perpetrated against society?
9th. Can 1t be right for me to derive
my living from that which accomplishes
all these at once, and which 1t Ioes with

9th. Do you say that you do not know
that the liquor which you are selling will

importing into the community. AS you
store 1t up, think how many curses you
may be heaping together against
yourself AS you roll 1t out of your ware
house, think how many families each cask
will ruin. Let your thoughts then revert
to your own fire side, wife, and your little
ones, then look up to Him who judgeth

CAUTION TO FAT MEN.

Fat men resolutely bent on bringing
down their weight should read the report
of DIR. Vulpian on the causes of the di-
gestive disturbance which was the origin
of the malady to which the Comte de
Chambord succumbed The Count, it
must be remembered, was ia early days
thrown from horse, with the twofold
result of tanning him and destroying his
nerve. lie was unable in consequence
either to walk or ride and having ex-
hibited taste and even passion for hunt
ing, he caused rides to be cut in the for
est of Frohsdorf, along which, driven 10
carriage, he was accustomed to pursue
his game. This, during the last few years
of his life, was the only form in which he
took exercise and as a natural conse
quence he become Unfortunately stout
He had recourse to Bantingism aud tho
dietary system he adopted had the effect
las he first and Dr.. Vu'pian afterward
believed-of bringing about the condition
of stomach which at last killed him.
"Some -four or five years ago." says DR..
Vulpian's report, "the Count, urged by a
desire to diminish his stoutness, submit
ted himself to the Banting system in all
its rigor, and in few months had lost
nearly City pounds of his weight This
rapid emaciation had produced weakness
~. Al. \
troubles, and several people have told me
that that was the case and have even
traced to the same date the first attacks
of the malady.' The immediate effects
of severe Bantingism seem to have passed
off, but later on the Count was twice at
tackled by acute indigestion and was
obliged to subject himself to severe treat
meDt on each occasion.

The Chancellor has decided the case
of Gulick against Gulick, the parties to
which are husband and wife who lived
together at Princeton for forty years.
When they were married, she had $4,000
and he about $4,000. Five years ago he
decided his property to her, and she exc
cuted trust deed of the whole to him.
BY this instrument she was to have one
third, and the children two.thirds of the
property in case Of his death. The trust
deed was lost and new one was execu-
ted, 10 which unknown to the husband, a
change was made, by which the wife S
share of the property was fixed at 80,
absolutely on bis death. AT about the
time that he discovered this change in
the new deed, he found the first one again
promptly filed it, and revoked the new
one. The wife sued to have the old deed
set aside and the new declared legal, and
applied for alimony, counsel fees aud ex-
penses. The Chanecllor's decision denies
her application.

HEAVY RAINS IN New JERSEY The
heavy rain storm of last Friday and Sat-
urday, did great damage in sections of
Burlington, Atlantic aud Camden coun-
ties. In the latter co1nty, numerous
wash outs occurred at the railroad stations
and road crossings, and several dams were
washed away. Owners Of cranberry boys
arc fearful that if the present wet spell
continues much longer it will occasion a
freshet which will sweep away all their
dams and breaks.

New PENNSYLVANIA RAIIRoAp.-The
Pennsylvania Company's new Schuylkill
Valley Road, and the line from Philadel-
phia to Germantown and Chestnut Hill
are almost ready to begin operations, and
within two or three months at the furthest
they will be opened for traffic. Aside
from the matter of passenger traffic tho
Pennsylvania Schuylkill Valley Railroad
is, of course, the more important of the
two lines. 1t travcrses country largely
populated and rich in manufactures and
mineral wealth, and at the outset large
tonnage seems to be assured for 1t. The
coal and iron deposits ofSchuylkill county
will now have greater facilities than even
for reaching market. Plans for enlarg-
ing the terminal facilities at Broad street,
Philadelphia, arc under consideration,
but they have not reached stage Of conn.,
pleteness that would Justify their publ
cation.

A most remarkable convention will be
held in Cincinnati, beginning March 25,
1884, In the great music hall and exposi-
ton building of that city. During the
past two or three years the great mono
poles of the country have made strong
efforts to destroy the present wise and
beneflcent patent laws, aud there have
been mono to antagonize the representa-
tons thus made. To this end the inven-
tors of this country have determined to
form permanent organization, wholly
and solely for the purpose Of being able
by combined efforts to show Congress
and the people that 1t will be detrimen-
tai to the interests of the country to ac-
cede to demands of the monopolists
There is a universal feeling among in
ventors that something must be done to
protect their interests, and the conven-
tion to be held will seek to adopt some
united form of action, or form State as
sociations.
