TEMPERANCE READING.
MY VISION.

There s q vision moves before me,
Which fain would see no more,
For view such haggard faces
Faces that I've seen before
And the looks they cast upon me-.
AS they pass with noiseiess tread.
Fill my mind with fearful bodings-
Fill my heart with nameless dread.
Not a soul in all this concourse
But doth curse me for its lot;
Years ago with hopes before me,
On life cast a blot.
] it was who first enticed him
With the ruby-tinted glass;
Yes. twas i, oh God, forgive me;
i, the causel too late-alasI
Oh! this youth, when rum had erazed him
Sank the cruel dagger deep;
And the life-blood If a sister
From the gaping wound did weep,
He to law has paid the forfeit
Passed beyond the unrent vail,
He, alone, with mau was guilty,
My excuse with God will fail

THERE is a strong Temperance SER
mon in the story of child born in
New Jersey apparently drunk. The
mother was shocked, it seems, by see
ing her husband intoxicated, as she
looked through the window of bar
room, attracted by hearing his voice.
She was so greatly shocked that when
her child was born it had all the symp-
toms of intoxication. When it came
to walk it staggered, and when it
learned to speak lis utterance was
thick and drunken. If intemperance
can produce this effect, its horrors are
added to. This child must go stagger-
ing and suffering through life, all
though he may never drink a drop of
liquor.-M Y. Mail and Express.

RECEIVERSHIP MATTERS,
J. L. Mothershead's Appointment as Receiver
Of the Tile Works Held To Be Valid.

The decision of Judge Walker in the case Of
the First National Bank of Mauch Chunk, Pa.
against the United States Encaiustic Tile works
Company. was affirmed by the Supreme Court
yesterday, and the appointment of ]. L. Moth
ershead as receiver of the works is therefore
held to be valid The appointment of the re-
ceiver was made on the petition of
James Douglass, John Dunlap and Isaac
N. Pattison. Douglass held 474 shares and Dun
lap % shares of stock In the works, while Patti
son held three promissorY notes of the company,
amounting to S., 900 each, and it was shown in
their complaint that the outstanding indebted
ness Of the concern was over 5000, 600, of which
800, 900 was commercial paper The Judgment
have the appointment of the receiver an
nulled The appointment was made under
Section 1922 of the statutes. which provides that
the court in vacation may appoint receiver
when corporation is insolvent or is in immi-
merit danger of insolvency. The points of law
involved in the were the same as in the suit
of Pressly against Lamb, which was decided on
Friday Judge Mitchell dissented, as in the
Pressy-Lamb case, and Judge Elliott took no
part IN the decision.
Questions as to receivers for J. Giles Smith
and Emley & Co., pending in Superior Court No
l. were dsposed or oy Judge Iayior yesterday
He said there were no facts to substantiate
the allegations of the Rumsey Manufact-
uring Company against Mr.. Smith. There
was nothing to show that he contemplated max
ing an assignment designed in any other way
to give preference to certain creditors Hence,
SO far there could be nothing prejudicial to COM
plainant's claim. The judge believed Mr.
Smith was seeking honest settlement
of his indebtedness If he was him
dered in this way he would probably
be compelled to make an assignment.
The res training order against the defendant to
prevent him from giving mortgages was dis
solved, and the appointment of receiver re-
fused.
The prayer for receiver in the cross com
plant of defendant WATSON in the Emley & Co.
matter was granted. The parties at issue have
agreed on jackson Landers to take charge of the
trust The selection was confirmed, and the
bond named at $4,000. Mr. Landers will quail
ify on Monday.

why Mr.. Lorillard Abandoned Racing.


NEW YORK, Jan. 30.-Pierre Lorillard, whose
retirement from the turf has been the talk of
the week in sporting circles says that his action
was precipitated by the fact that the plans to
drive the professional gamblers from the race
courses of this neighborhood have failed. $50
long as horse-racing was recreation for gentle
men was fond Of it." he explained, as all that
he was willing to say at present for publications
'but can find no pleasure in competing or as
sociating with business gamblers" Lorillard
was the chief promoter Of the device, which, last
summer. tried at the Coney Island track as
substitution for pool-selling and book making.
1t was simply scheme to conduct the betting
under Jockey Club auspices the wagers being
ostensibly subscriptions to purses. and the inten-
ton was to exclude the gamblers altogether.
case was taken into court for test, and the de-
cision was the method was illegal. Lorillard and
other amateur sportsmen were much chagrined.
During the winter they have endeavored to get
a by law passed by the several jockey clubs of
New York forbidding the book-makers from put
ting their own horses into the races Last sea-
son the frauds perpetrated by collision between
sucn owners of racers were open and fragrant
But the efforts at reform have practically failed,
and the book-making firms are preparing for a
great campaign of swindling next summer. 1t
was owing to this decentralization of the turf that
Lorillard reluctantly decided to withdraw The
outlook is bad In this region for honest racing.
