TAG Power nr Hadn't.

The passers-by on country road used
to pause sometimes and wonder TO see an
old white horse in the pasture travelling
round and round in circle. Hour after
hour he kept up his tramp, though entire
ly free to go and come as he pleased. This
shows the power of habit For twenty
years he had been daily hamessed to the
end of long sweep, and travelled in Just
such circuit until too stiff and blind for
further service; then a kind master gave
him his time and good pasture. Twenty
years of steady industry had made work a
necessity. Now when life was all holt
day, there was no holiday; so he kept ON,
from choice, in his old round.
Habits, good or bad, cling to us. How
happy boy Should be who finds good
habit of any kind growing stronger every
day! Ii is for one to tell for himself just
how he stands, if lac will only look sharp
~ at his goines and eomings, and see with
what feelings he goes abont his daily dn-
ties. ''iIe that hath clean bands shall be
stronger and stronger One cannot have
his hands clean from sin unless the
thoughts flow in the right channels. They
do make channels for themselves, in which
they hahitually flow, just as surely as the
water. courses. Youth's World.

We have noticed that number of
papers in Philadelphia and elsewhere in
commenting on the operation OF the high
license law, remark favorably upon the
probab lie great reduction of the number of
places in which liquor will be sold. We
fail 30 see however that many, if any, of
them point to any probable decrease in the
amount of liquor consumed. On the con
traly the PhiIa. Press seems to think that
the places that get license will have a
mighty good thing Of it. Wherein we
agree NTH the Press, which q. is what we
are seldom able to do on the license ques-
tion. The reason they viii have good
thing is that the tendency of the law, if
successfully enforced, is to create mono
poly in very profitable business. Pro
fitable to the dealers We mean, for we
have yet to see where the profit to anybody
else comes in. The law simply says to the
drinker, drink as much as ever, but in
stead OF finding a rum mill on every
corner, yon will in future find one only on
every other corner. In the cities this will
make little if any difference. In country
places where tie license fee is much lower
and competition absent it viii make no
difference at all. As a means of prevent
ing rum drinking high license is no
good" The politicians that favor it
know that all the time.
