On Robinson CrusOe's Land.

Opposite the harbor of Valparaiso
stands the Island of Juan Fernandez,
sacred to the memory of Robinson Cru
soc land his man Friday, who kept
things tidy and listened to the tales his
master told" There isn't boy where
the English language is spoken who
hasn't read description of this island
better told than l am able to give it,
and it is only necessary to say that
Daniel DefOe, or whoever wrote the
book, must have studied the place with
great attention, or had the island created
TO suit the picture he gave of it. The
little harbor is there, with its rocks and
coves, just as it was when Robinson
went ashore; the cave is in good order
still, and the cliffs up which he and
Friday used to chase the mountain
goats. The goats are there, and the
armadillos, the birds of wonderful
plumage and the crawfsh among the
rocks. Every boy in the United States
who has read the story recently could
go all over the place without a guide
and find everything except Robin
son himself and the faithful Friday.
The island belongs to Chill, and is
leased to cattle company, which has
from twenty to thirty thousand head of
cattle and as many more sheep grazing
over the hills. There are about fifty or
sixty NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. with their
families, under the charge of French
man named Crawe-and, besides the
stock, they raise a quantity of poultry
and ship chickens and eggs, with some
vegetables, to the Valparaiso market.

The Literature of Intemperance.

A subtle source of danger arises from
the effects of the literature of intem-
perance. Poetry has long ministered
to this dead vice. From the Bacchic
odes of the Grecian Anacreon and the
graceful wine-sOngs of the Roman
HOratius, down to our own age, when
Moore and Byron have lent their
mighty powers to throw new enchant-
ments around the foaming tankard or
the ivy-wreathed cup, and make more
attractive the slavery of sensuality,
poetry has battled for wine. And even
prose is far from being pure. To lit
erary men, drunkenness seems but a
venial sin, and while many of them
have fallen, like the common herd of
drunkards, before its assault, too many
have prostituted their pens to make at
tractive and synonymous with all that
is generous, noble, whole-souled in hui
manity, this foul deformity, (which to
be hated needs but to be seen not in
poetic glamOr, but as it really is.
When the highly-wrought description
of the drinking scene is banished from
the pages of the modern novel, or, if
mentioned, is stigmatized in burning
ard himself is depicted not as a good
fellow, but as great sinner against his
own and others souls; when the wine
song echoes no longer from the parlor
and the club-room, and poets cease to
be priests of the Bacchic orgies; when
history, faithful to her trust, tells of
dissipation and luxury as among the
surest sources of national ruin: and
ethics, redeemed from the fear of man,
points out in pure and holy temperance
the antidote of very much of our social
and political misery-then shall great
step have been taken to shield our
youth from danger and free our land
from woe. For as it was of old with
the ballads, so is it now with the books
of nation. They mold the plastic
mind of youth, and their silent inhu-
ence is mightier than thousands of liv-
ing orators or countless words of de-
nunciation and appeal. Bishop Perry.

Temperance.
An Extraordinary Sentence.

The following is from a sentence re-
Gently pronounced by Judge Reading
of Chicago upon some liquor-dealers
who had violated the law by selling it
to minors: BY the law you NAV sell
1t to men and women, if they will buy.
You have given your bond and paid
your license to sell to them, and no one
has the right to modest you in your le-
gal business. No matter what the con-
sequences may be, no matter what pow
erty and destitution are produced by
your selling according to law-you have
paid your money for this privilege, and
you are licensed to pursue your calling.
No matter what families are distracted
and rendered miserable; no matter
what wives are treated with violence:
what children starve or mourn over the
degradation of parents-your business is
legalized, and no one may interfere
with you it. No matter what mother
may agonize over the loss of her son. or
sister blush at the shame of brother.
you have right to disregard them all +,
and pursue your legal calling-you are
licensed. You may fit up your lawful
place OF business in the most enticinp
and captivating form; you NAV furnish
it with the most costly and elegant
equipments for your own lawful trade ::
you may fill it with the allurements of
amusements; you may use all arts to
allure visitors; you may skilfuly ar
range and expose to view your choicest
wines and captivating beverages; you
may induce thirst by all contrivances
to produce a raging appetite for drink,
and then you may supply the appetite
to the full, because it is lawful-you
have paid for it, you have license.
You may allow boys and children to
frequent your saloon; they may witness
the apparent satisfaction with which
their seniors quaff the sparkling glass
you may be schooling and training them
for the period of twenty-one, when
they, too, can participation all this
is lawful. You may hold the cup to
their lips; but you must not let them
drink-that is unlawful; for, while
you have all these privileges for the
money you pay, this poor privilege of
selling to children is denied you. Here
parents have the right to say, Leave
my son to me until the law gives you the
right to destroy him. Do not anticipate
that terrible moment when / can as
sert for him no further rights of pro-
lection. That will be soon enough-for
me, for his sister, for his mother. for
his friends, for the communicate see
him take the road to death. Give him
to us in his childhood, at least. Let us
have few hours of his youth, in which
we can enjoy his innocence, to repay
us in some small degree for the care
and love we have lavished upon him.
This is something which you, who now
stand prisoners at the bar, have not
paid for; this is not embraced in your
license. For this offence the court
sentences you to ten days imprison-
ment in the county Jail, and that you
pay seventy-fve dollars and costs, and
that you stand committed until the fines
and costs of this prosecution are paid"
We have not heard from any source
such an arraignment of the license law
as this.

How jamie Hated Order.

When Jamie came rushing in from
play to supper his mother was obliged
to speak to him about hanging up his
hat; and, when his hunger was satisfied,
and he started from the table, she
said: Jamie do not leave your nap
kin like that! Fold it and put it in the
ring! Has my boy no sense of order?n
" No, mamma" cried Jamie. rush
ing back to do as his mother told him:
81 hate orderl It's ALWAYS hinderinG
and interfering" Some people might
say 1t was disorder that is always him
dering and interfering. For instance,
had you folded your napkin at the
proper time you would not have had to
come back to do it," said Mrs. Wright.
She added: 1" guess you love order as
well as any of us if the truth were
known" No, mamma; am sorry,
but l positively hate order. What love
is to fly my kite, or to make boat and
sail it on the pond; and when it is
dark, love to come in and see YOU,
and eat supper of huckleberries and
milk and doughnuts. But l Just de-
spise to be always folding up or hang
ing up something" In emphasizing his
views, Jamie jerked the table-cloth so
that the baby's tray and spoon went
gathering to the floor. Then there were
two more things to pick up. " Still"
said Mrs. Wright, g | think there are
some kinds of order which you like"
8 am afraid not, mamma; not one.n
When you have played out of doors
until the last minute, and you get into
the house just as the clock strikes one,
then do you mind your dinner being
all in order?" Jamie smiled, and looked
little sober. " Yesterday, when Uncle
Charles came to take you to ride with
him, if you could be ready in five
minutes-Uncle Charles, who is so ele-
gant-then were you sorry to find clean
collar, necktie, handkerchief, gloves,
nat, all ready to lay your hand on them?"
Mammal" Would you like to find
yourself at school with holes in your
jacket? Do you hate, when you 90 up
stairs at night, tired, to find bed made
up comfortable" g Mamma, what do
you mean?" g That it is not order
which you hate, but the trouble neces-
sary to gain it. All, my boy. No one
OF us likes that, but ought not each of
us to take part of it? Or should papa
or mamma and Bridget do all the tire
some picking up and fixing up while
Jamie only enjoys it?" Jamie put
two arms around his mothers neck.
" Mamma, you are great for explaining
things, aren't you?"-BoSton Beacon.

A San Francisco Dog.

A remarkable instance of canine
sagacity came under the observation of
the aug reporter yesterday. Walking
along Post street, pretty well out Of
the business portion of the city, he
CHANGED to notice little child, some
three years of age, at play with an i'm
mense Newfoundland dog on the lawn
in front of an elegant residence. In
the rough-and-tumble sport of the two
the child hurt his dumb playmate so
that he snapped rather angrily at the
infant. A lady, who stood watching
