The Saioon-k eeper's Business.

There are two callings in life for which
we have a contempt about as strong as
copperas and vinegar. They are body
snatching and saloon keeping. AND yet
if We were to choose between the two. we
would prowl around the grave yards on
dark nights and steal dead bodies. and
sell them at ten dollars a piece, rather than
steal mems souls at ten cents an install
ment. from behind tie bar Of a saloon.
The gh0ul lays upon the dissecting table a
body from which the soul has fled, prob
ably into endless purity. The saloon
keeper lays upon his counter a body in
habited by a soul, writing under all
appetite lie has planted, and then dissects
him body and soul. If he sees anything
good in his subject, he cuts that out first.
He tears out his God-given nobility, and
throws that under the counte with d
fiendish ehuekle and stamps on it with
both feet. He plunges the knife to his
heart, and watches the quivering. To his
heart alone? No no, To the heart OF his
friends as well, to the heart Of his wife, to
the hearts of his children. When he has
all the beautiful carved out of his victim,
and nothing but ~depravity left, he looks at
the pile Of gold behind him and the penni-
less wretch before him. and then looks out
from behind the screen as the procession
passes to potter's field.

You Did IT.

Little Bessie was dying.
Her father had struck the child a blow
on the spine while insane from the infiu-
ence of rum, and confusion and terror
overwhelm the frantic household, for little
Bessie is beloved by all.
Among those of the ~neighbors who had
gathered in amid the excitement was the
rumseller who had dealt ont the poison to
that neighborhood for years. He drew
near the deatll-bod, and heard a watcher,
who was wiping the death-damp from the
child's beautiful face, say, THAT blow has
killed her" Little Bessie caught the
whisper, and, raising her eyes that were
growing large in death, she fixed a dying
gaze upon the rumseller and said. I'm

That group never forgot the dying child's

New Jersey will furnish several Of them.
The most prominent are the cities Of Pat

having in the last Congress secured favor

on public buildings and grounds. The

claimed that the large manufacturing in

gether with the increasing postal business,
justifes the government in building a
handsome structure which will furnish
rooms for the various public Offices and
at the same time be an ornament to the
city.

The Philadelphia Record on September
10Th, 1884. announced that it would sell
coal to the people Of that city at $40 a
ton. This was seventy-fiye cents under
the market price at the time in Philadel-
phia, and the purpose of the owner Of the
Record was to break up the combination,
composed Of railroads and coal dealers.
which has made the price Of coal in that
city higher than in communities who's
supply was furnished by Philadelphians
and whose coal actually passed through
Philadelphia. Mr.. Singerly, of the Record,
has. in the twelve months since his plan
was inaugurated, reduced the price of coal
from $3.50 a ton to 80, and the combina-
ton now meets almost every reduction he
makes. The good accomplished by Mr..
Smgerly in Philadelphia will encourage
similar efforts elsewhere, and if II man
cannot be found with sufficient CAPITAL to
attack the %monopolies, joint efforts may
produce the same result.

The Monmouth Demoerot thus corrects a
very common error: I'VE notice that
some of our local exchanges speak Of the
receipt given to dealers in liquors and
segars for the United States tax upon their
business. as a license to sell those articles.
This is a mistake, but it is one that is in
dustriously fostered by the dealers. The
United States can give no license to sell.
The United States government merely
leyies a tax upon those who are licensed
under the local laws. Newspapers ought
to quit talking abouta government license
They are expected TO know that there is no
such thing"

\ Young man who thinks he can lead a
reckless and profigate life until he becomes
middle aged, and then repent and make
a good steady citizen, is deluded by the
devil. He concludes that people are fools
destitute of memory. He thinks that if he
repents everybody viii forget that he was
a dissipated wretch. This is not the case;
people remember his bad deeds and forget
his good ones. Besides it is no easy mat
ter to break up, in middle age, bad habits
that have been formed in youth. When a
horse contracts the habit Of baking. he
generally retains it through life. He will
often perform well enough until the wheels
get into a deep hole, then he stops and
draws back. Just so it is with the boys
who contract bad habits. They will some
times leave off bad tricks, and do well
enough until they get into a tight place,
and then they return into the old habit.
or those boys who contract the bad habit
of drunkenness, possibly one in a hundred
dies a sober man. The best way to break
off a bad habit is never to contract it. The
only way to prevent drunkenness is to
lbstain from strong drink.
