week, to end with sick spell and a
season of repentance and good resolu-

time.

Study of AIcohol's Effects.

The Senate bill providing for the
study of the nature of alcoholic drinks
and narcotics, and their effects upon
the human system, at West Point and
Annapolis, in the Indian schools, and
in the public schools of the Terrific
ries and the District of Columbia, has
been reported favorably to the House
and placed on the calendar. The re-
port accompanying the bill states that
nearly 1000, 600 men and women have
petitioned the Legislatures of the diff
ferent States for similar laws, and up
to the present year the wishes of the
people have been complied with in
fourteen States. As an evidence that
.ne people earnestly desire a law like
the one suggested, the committee
points to the fact that petitions bear
ing the names of 71,276 persons have
been presented to this Congress asking
for its enactment. The effect of SINH
lar laws in the different States where
they are in force has, in the opinion of
the committee, proved most salutary.
Such laws lead to progress, and serve
to check threatened evil to humanity
and the general welfare. The report
argues that the bill invades no right of
self-government. The measure had
the vital merit of involving no politi-
cal significance, but appealed to the
very foundations upon which popular
self-goyernment rested-the inteili-
gence of the people. 1t was difficult
to see how any objection could be
raised to such statute, except by
those who feared to have the next gem

SPRING.


As little children gather round their mother,
And beg her a familiar tale TO tell
Dne that is dearer far than any other
and as they watch her, prompting should
she falter
And any variation quickly see
and cry: Don't tell it so, don't change and
alter,
We want it just the way it used to lje"
So do we come to thee, o Nature-Mother.
And never tire of listening to thy tales.
Tel US thy spring-time story now-no other.
That hath wondrOuS charm, which never
fails.
Tell it with all the old time strength and
glory,
Fill it with many happy song and shout;
Don't miss one bird or blossom IN the story,
Don't leave one daffodl or daisy out.
Tell US each shade in all the trees soft green
ing,
/ Don't Skip one blade of grass. one bee, one
wren
Each little thing has grown so full of mean
ing
In the dear story we would hear again.
Mother Nature! thou art old and hoary,
AND wonderful and strange things thou
canst tell;
But we, like children, love the spring-time
story
And think it best, because we know it well.

A Touching Story of the Unhappy and
Homeless Eugene.
The following is the latest story that
is told about the Empress Eugene,
who has ever been a striking figure
since the day she charmed Napoleon
III. with the wreath of violets which
she wore in her golden hair. "Twas
morning then, but now the night has
come. A few days ago. says the
chronicler, a visitor to the Marcus
Church at Venice, where the ex-Em-
press is now staying, observed lady
dressed in deepest mourning kneeling
In long silent prayer before one of the
side affairs. When at last she rose she
looked about her in search of some
thing which she missed, and then
walked slowly away, and supporting
herself by the wall, toward the en-
trance. The stranger politely offered
his arm, which was gratefully accepted,
the lady meanwhile explaining that
one Of the beggars must have taken her
silver-headed walkin@stick away, with
out which she was very helpless. =
Outside the church two liYeried foot
men were waiting: the stranger on re-
firing offered his address card (alas,
for cruel Nemesis, he was a German

lady was seen to shudder slightly aud

The Laborer and the Drink Evil.

Labor knows better than any other
element in society the extent of the
drink evil. The intelligent working
man who looks abroad perceives that
all the efforts at securing better con-
ditions for his class must fail so long
as the class itself, through lack of self
restraint and self-denial, squanders so
large proportion of its earnings in
the. saloon, and by the cultivation of
depraved tastes kills its own conscience,
ambition, self-respect and capacity for
improvement. He perceives the fulfill
ty of talk about the inequality of COM
pensation so long as the fact exists,
patent to all the world, that if labor
retrenched half its expenditures upon
drink fund would result suffi Gent to
insure comfort and abundance to all
its members and to furnish them be-
sides with the means of higher educa-
ton and enjoyment. He knows from
sad experience that, as a working-man
writes to the Voice ''three-foarths of
the restitution among laborers and
their families is the result of intemper-
ance." He knows, too, that the sa-
loon in politics has degraded the suf-
frage, corrupted the voter, set the citi-
zen against his own best interests,
helped scoundrels to public plumber,
excluded honest men from office,
stopped the progress of communities,
and recruited continually the ranks of
the dangerous classes, whose lawless-
ness, punished OF unpublished, is paid
for at last out of the wages of the work
ers.-N. 7. Tribune.

A LOCAL Bellaire (O0 statistician
gets off the following: There are
about 60 saloons in Bellaire. Putting
the average sales of drinks at 30 glasses
of beer and 40 glasses of whisky per
day at each saloon, an estimate by far
too low, the daily consumption of liq-
uor amounts to 5000 glasses of beer
and 2,400 glasses of whisky For this
