The Reading road has secured the Poughkeepsie bridge route and the Gen. tral New England and Western aud the Lehigh Valley and the Central Railroad of New Jersey. It has guaranteed the dividends of these last two paying prop critics. ThereupOn Lehigh Valley rises from 90 to @, really 100 to 124, and Jer- sey Central from 1l5 to 13S, and Reading itself from Il to 67. The Reading goes up on the theory that the lines it has leased earn more than they divide and it can take the balance, which prudent management hitherto has decided should not be taken by anybody and the leased lines, that are thus to be skinned, go up, because Reading has guaranteed their dividends. Reading has guaranteed div idends before and gone all to pieces, self, guaranty and all.-[Courant.

 'sYes, it is true, added q lawyer, who stood up and said, s'I had brilliant fu- ture with a lovely wife and three dear boys. I was supposed to be at least an ingenious lawyer and set my self to de- feat the Maine law and so 1 contrived ways of buying spirits even in Maine and I did not perceive how the habit was forming on me until it had indurated so that found myself choking 70 death as in plaster cast"
 Just then man fresh from the earth came up to give his account and the Judge seemed to suspend MT Markham's case to hear the newcomer.
 And where are you from?''
 ''Portland, Maine."
 'Your business?''
 ''Well, it had no name where liyed.It was not legal business, but, to tell the truth, anywhere else 1 would have been supposed to keep saloon. As it was, I was clandestinely engaged in the drink ing traffic. 1 cannot say otherwise, for
 
 known lawyers, is standing here and knows that he was one of my custom ers."
 "Where did you get the liquor you sold?" asked the Judge.
 "Oh, was lawful enough on that side. 1 bought it of a man outside of our State, man who was licensed to sell it.
 Whereupon the Judge turned upon MT Markham. You, then, are the guilty party. You did all you could to make it possible for liquor to be sold in Maine. 1ou did all that in you lay to make it possible to sell the destructive beverage in all the States adjoining Maine. You threw the whole weight of your charac- ter and influence and ability to prevent other States from being like Maine with out distillery and without brewery, and you glorified in the bad facts which you had collected, and you, and men like you, all the more influential for having the reputation of being good, maintained such condition of affairs, as that, while prohibition really did prohibit in Maine, it could not suppress in Maine. You, and men of your class who labOred for high license,' not only perpetuated the drink traffic in the States in which a majority of the people were still willing to have it, but you spent your time and strength outside of the State of Maine, in paralyZ- ing the power of the law which would . have swept the last vestige of intemper- ance from the State of Maine. You CO., , operated with this saloon keeper fresh , from Maine -
 , The look and tones of the Judge were such that MT Markham never heard the , close of the sentence, but awOke in a cold sweat, and for many d day he pondered F the question how that fearful sentence was going to be finished Rev Dr Charles F. Deems in the Christian at , Work.
