After three days debate i'll the Massachu-
sets Legislature the Liquor License bill has
been appropriately crushed by 16l Nays to GA
Yeas. The principle of prohibition, as en-
bodied in the present safe law, is therefore
stronger than ever, and the agents of liquor


must accept this decision as final. Virtually,
there remains little else to do than to see that
the law as it stands is, as it can and should
be, generally and vigorously enforced. Hence,
on all accounts, the Rum Convention which is
to meet at Albany in September will miss the
evil encouragement of such an example as that
of Massachusetts giving herself up TO the moral
debaucheIy of License.

Prentice, of the Louisville Journal has the
following, which our merchants and grocers,
who complain so greatly of dull times, should
read and ponder attentively. He says: "We
have been carrying on the Louisville Journal
between Sc and 81 years. During all that time,
we have known no man of business in the city
to fail who advertised literally. And we have
known no one to succeed in any considerable, if
even in respectable degree, who didn't adver-
tise literally? Do you tell US, oh ! candidate
for the custom ofthe community that you can t
afford to advertise because your business is dull
Ah why is it dull? Listen and we will tell
you. 1t is dull because you don't advertise,
aud you don't advertise because it is dull. So
the vacant circle is complete We tell you, if
you are doing ILL., TO advertise that you may do
well, and, Il You are doing well, advertise that
you may dc better Set high your mark of bu-
siDess success and advertise up to it. You can
do so, if you will, even in hard times. A little
nerre is needed in advertising as well as in using
any other effective means Of success Your
men who have no more nerve than wet rag
advertise little or not at all, and they succeed
little or not at al. You may suppose that we
are giving advice that we think would benefit
ourselves. Yes, we do think that it would ben
eft us, but would benefit you immensely more.
Think little, and you will agree with us. And
if you do agree with US, be wise enough to act

Or am l dreaming for hear

Float softly to my dying ear. tit

Nor lost but merely gone before,
Borne, by the grace of him who bled,
Before to the voiceless shore.
For what is death when faith is strong?
Or what is night when morning break?

And light to those who gladly wake.

The shadow of a nameless fear


Is slowly darkening round my bed.
More light more light my eyes grow dim;
AT threshold of the heavenly gate

Who seems to leave me desolate.
One moment only. Lo see


His hand rolls back these mists of fear,
They wait in lustrous white for me,
To watt me up the azure clear.
See see myriad rays and lights
Are flashing up the mighty dome;
White angels from the starry heights
Stretch out their arms to bear me home.
There all the glory grandly meets,
In wide and glistening flakes it falls

A thousand faces glistening sheen;

Because they are afraid of the enormous ex-
penses of housekeeping. 1t requires little
fortune, now, to buy house and every article
of furniture costs about three times as much as
it did years ago. Young men of spirit land

to count the cost of wedlock. When they see
the extravagant length to which daughters go

an old maid occupy the place which otherwise
might have been the abode of a happy family
and delightful association. Everybody ought
to get married who can boast of three things:
first, sound body; second, sound mind ;
third, good trade. This as to men. And as
to women they should possess good health,
tidiness and industry. With these, any young
couple can get as rich as they ought to be, or
as rich as is necessary to an enjoyable life, if
they will only go to housekeeping little below
their ability. The young should have courage
to live within their means; to have more pride
in the consciousness that they have little spare
money at home, than in living in a style which
keeps them all the time cramped in maintain

How TO LIVE EAsILY.-The art of living,
as to money, isto pitch your scale one degree
below your means. Comfort and enjoyment
are more dependent upon easiness in detail
of expenditure than upon any degree in the
scale. Guard against false associations of
pleasure with expenditure. The notion is
absurd that because pleasure can be pur-
chased with money, therefore money cannot
be spent without enjoyment. What thing
costs man is NO true measure of what it is
worth to him: and yet how often is his ap-
probation governed by no other standard,
as if there were a pleasure in expenditure
per Sc. Let yourself feel want before you
provide against it. You are more assured
that it is worth while to feel it little in
order to feel relief from it. When you are
decided as to which of the two courses you
would like best, choose the cheapest.
This rule will not only save money, but
save also good deal of trifing indecision.
Too much leisure to expense; because when
man is in want ofobjects, it occurs to him
that they are to be had for money, and be
lnvents expenditure in orderto pass the time.

VIvISECTIoN IN FRANCE.-The London
Veterinarian gives the following account OF
vivisection as practlced in France, almost
too horrible to be published:


In building or shed open to the air on
one side lay six or seven living horses, fixo d
by every possible mechanical contrivance
by the head and feet to pillars, to prevent
their struggling, and upon each horse were
six or seven pupils employed in performing
different surgical operations. The sight was
TRULY horrible. The operations had begun
early in the forenoon; it was nearly 3o'clock
when we entered the place, so that the poor
wretches, as may be supposed, had ceased
being able to make any violent struggles
But the deep heaving of the still pantinS%,
chest, and the horrible look of the eyes,
when such were remaining in the head,
whilst in the head lashed to pillow, was
narrowing beyond endurance. The students
had begun their days work in the least vi
tai parts of the animal; the trunks were
there, but they had lost their tails, ears and
hoofs, and the operators were now engaged
performing the more important operations,
as tying up arteries, trepanning the cranl-
um, cutting down the more sensitive parts,
on purpose, we are told, that they might see
the retraction of certain muscles by pinch
ing and irritating the various nerves. One
animal had one side of his head completely
dissected and the students were engaged in
laying open and cauterizing the hook of the
same side when we entered.

How TO SAVE CoAL.-Wood, as fuel, is
unknown in Pittsburg, and the following
suggestions with reference to the use OF coal
may be advantageous to all:


Some housekeepers, in the management OF
their fires, seem to suppose that an addition
of fuel will insure increased combustion and
develop additional heat. Coal and especi-
ally anthracite coal, should be always turn-
ished with sufficient amount Of oxygen to
keep the fire bright. 1t is only smothering
and retarding the fire to put in thick layer
of coal as some do. Fill the fire box from a
layer of two inches of ignited coal to its ut
most capacity with freh fuel. No more coal
should be put upon fire at one time than
readily ignites and gives offa pure white blaze
not bluehame, which denotes also the
presence of unconsumed gases-and the fire
should be undisturbed on the top. Another
point of coal economy In clearing the CRATE
in the morning there is a quantity OF I'M
burnt coal, which has been externally sub
jected to combustion. 1t is covered with
ash, and looks like cinder. 1t is often dump
ed into the ash-box The fact is that the
lump is only roasted on the outside, not even
cooked, and is in better condition for igni-
ting than the green coal. Never waste it

dollars in a winter-PittsJurg Chronicle

For my part, shall make it rule to use all and any means to alleviate suffering humanity which I may be able to command--not9ke kesitating because some one more ingenious Aan myself may have learned it's effects first, and secured the sole right to secure that knowledge. However, am by no means an advocate or supporter of the thousands of worthless nostrums that flood the country, that purport to cure all manner of disease to which human flesh is heir.

Fools may howl and madmen may rave,

body organized in defiance Of the Constilu
ton and of equivoca Legitimacy, to remove
or suspend the Executive power Of great
people. When you can tear the heart out
of the human body and permit it to live, then
may you expect to witness this. 1t needs
therefore, no official organ to tell "that ifthe
Radical majority in Congress pursues its treal
sonable course much longer tie Adminstra'
ton, in order to sustain itself, will arm its
supporters;' nor, to 'advse the opposition Of
this determined and fixed fact, that Andrew
johnson will serve out the Constitutional
term Of office" If the issue of force is made
let those who press it to that dread alterna-
tive bear the responsibility.

Have we not more widows and orphans

bloody cravings Of all the demons Of pande'

course which must of necessity eventuae in
similar scenes to those through which the
