We're careful souls, we're very careful eouls;
Our touch is velvet aud our step is down;
Our speech is honey served In painted bowls;
We smile, but never frown.
We're very careful souls-why should on

Careless OF shelter, till the tempest poursi
Whatever task delays without the gate,
We hide us safe indoors.
'Hush" is our watchword, whispered unde

Our motto this; Let well enough alonei"
We burrow, dim with dust, nor wait for death
To hide us meath its stone.
There are WHO lift their faces 10 the sky,
Sun-fronlvu, sun. illumined, strong OF hand
We tremble as their earnest ranks go by
TO labor in the land!
They sow, they reap, they do, they even dare
We hinder, cautiously, not overmuch,
Laying q hand on progress here and there
To thwart her with a touch.
We're very careful souls; we would not see
This venerable order pass away;
The hoary past is what 1t used to be-
A pattern for to-day.
Yet should the loud reformer chance to win,
And should the world at last by him be led,
We careful souls would hold it then no sin
To rise and eat his bread.

II is estimated that at least three

by attempting to destroy the Napoleon
column in the Place Vendome, was one
of the chief criminals in regard to these
forgeries. Having taken refuge in
Geneva, he there established a manu-.

with filthy water" The factory
where this butter had been made
had been run as a cheese fac
tory for about twenty years, and
latterly a separator had been put in
and cheese and butter both manufac-
tured. A driven well supplied the
water of the factory. This well was
about twenty feet deep, and with an
eye to avoid the drainage of the build
ing was driven on the upper side. How
futile that scheme was the accompany
ing illustration will show. The barn
yard on the elevation a few rods dis
tant to the right did not have u tenden-
cy to help the matter any.
II is to be regretted that the water
was never chemically analysed, but as
butter making was stopped immediate
ly when the product became unsuitable
and the water was no more used the
state expert who afterward visited the
factory did not see fit to take q sample
for analysis. The poisoned condition
of the well was generally conceded and
Q superficial examination Of the water
after it had stood for a length Of time
would convince any one of its contami-
nation. The water when freshly
pumped was cold and sparkling, al
though slightly tinged in color. 1t
gave off no offensive smell and the
faint foreign odor would be easily mis-.
taken for the presence Of mineral sub
stance. 1t was in this stage that it was
used for washing the buttermilk from
graduated butter, and the insidious
bacteria are sown that afterwards
ruined the product. Now, we do not
relate this true instance because we
suppose that all creameries obtain their
water supply of wells, and that the
water used is charged with deleterious
substances, but to show what an insid-
ious evil impure water is, and what

at a meeting of the stadtrath, or board

previous duty having been about nine.
teen cents a bushel. Since the increase
Of duty u exports to Germany have
sunk to very small proportions.
The crop prospects in Germany this
year are not bright; and the Berlin
aldermen, being sure that the tariff Is
a tax, want to provide a way by which
the poor may still continue TO have
cheap bread. In France, too, there 1,
