Tom Waddle's Wife.
BY J. L. A
Tom Waddle had a loving wife,
The pride and comfort of his life,
Tbey never had a word of strife,
But she was a novel reader;
You might have heard poor Tommie sigh,
For fear poor Maud would hurt her eyes,
The color of the azure skies,
Fur she would not quit her reading.
Some three years passed, and still she read,
Until she almost turned her head.
Her novel with her took to bed,
And thus she spent her evenings.
One night she set her bed nn fire,
Just as she set her candle higher,
And Tom expresged a strong desire,
That she would quit her reading.
Poor Tommie coaxed her to desist,
But still she firmly would persi,t,
Until one day she sprained her wrist,
Her anguish was past bearing;
Not that she cared about the pain,
Or aught without sunshine or rain,
But then to read it was in vain,
Poor darling was despairing.
But now that Maud had got quite well.
Another vectdent befell,
Oh. horrible, that I must tell :
The child in the fire chanced falling:
She threw her novel on the mat,
And almost tumbled o'er the cat,
And kindly said confound the brat,
I cannot read for its squalling.
Then Tommie did his wife assure,
No wore of this he would endure.
Long, long before the child was cured,
She had quit her novel reading.
Grant in Jerusalem,
DT AMY. M TRIFTON, D. D,
No ; no ovation for me in this city where my Sa
viour was cruc tied."—General Grant.
Speak not to me of banquets, rich viands, and red
wine.
In this old sacred city, where was slain the Son
divine;
No homage to me offer—to me, a sinful man—
Here where my Saviour suffered, and wrought out
the wondrous plan.
Oh, what is human prowess on fields of mortal
strife?
Or what the cause secured alone by sacrifice of
lite ?
The conflicts of the ages arc o'ershadowed by that
hour,
When here the Son of God assa;led alone Death's
tyrant power.
I have fought a hundred battles 'midst sulphurous
el , tids and flame,
When death-shots smote the air as smiles the
tempest's sleet and rain ;
But nevt.r such a conflict has the sun e'er blushed
to see.
As that in yonder garden whi•di my Saviour
fought for me.
A name? Ah, yes, I know. I've heard the ring
ing. wild "hurrahs,"
When out from battle clouds emerged the glorious
stripes and stars;
But here I eee anotbur crowd—l see the victim
pale ;
The brutal cry, "Awafwith Him !" borne on the
evening gale.
I've seen the serried columns passing up the dizzy
height,
Stern on through volleying thunders and death
hail's thickest flight ;
'Twas not a time for weeping, nor e'en a thought
of loss;
Now on )on bill. through tears, I see him sink be
neath His cross.
I've hard the shout of triumph of the millions on
that day,
When the last death-shot had echoed, and the
we- clouds rolled away;
But hear I b , :w in anguish, as I hear that pierc
ing cry,
"It is finished !" Ah, my Saviour then bows His
head to die !
Then not to me, a sinner, yet a sinner saved by
grace,
By whose stripes I am healed, be honors of this
place ;
Oh ! ther• be no name honored on soil which Ha
has trod,
But that above all others—the glorious Son of
Clod!
E4e ,Lstorg-Celler.
AN EVEN EXCHANGE.
We are all children of destiny On a
certain night I stood in front of a theatre
di , or, and hesitated for some time to go in,
but fiu:tlly concluded to enter, and it was
there I met. Madeleine D'Albret. Al
though the play was superb, my attention
.vas eintinually attracted toward two of
the audience; one, an old soldier, stiff and
stately. with a gray mustache; the other,
a young girl, whose red lips quivered, and
the roses on her cheeks went and came,
and her laugh displayed pearls of teeth and
a hundred dimples.
I loved the girl passionately from the
moment I saw her. How could I get ac
quainted with her? That was the ques
tien. To do so I was fully resolved. Leav
ii.g my place, I went where they must
nece-sarily pass me in coming out. She
was leaning on the old soldier's arm. The
throng around pushed. My foot stepped
on the hem of her dress, pulling her back
a little, and she put down her hand to re
lease the skirt. The loose coils of her
bracelet fell nearly over the glove; I
touched it adroitly, and it slipped off and
was hidden in my hand She passed on,
utientisc,inus of her
I am not a thief, though. so far, ap•
pearauces are against me The next day
I saw an advertisement in the paper re
lating to the loss, and the finder was prom
ised a handsome reward on applying at No.
9 Montrose Place. I intended to be hand
somely rewarded. I hastened to the house.
A French maid came to the door, and soon
after taking in my card she threw open
the sitting-room door, and addressed the
general :
"Monsieur arrives concerning the brace
let of Mademoiselle D'Albret "
Madeleine eat before the fire embroider
ing a wonderful piece of lace, and the gen
eral was near by with a newspaper in his
hand. She looked up with a heightened
color and expectant face, and made an old
fashioned courtesy. The stiff old general,
rising, said :
"Mademoiselle D'Albret is the more
anxii,us to regain her bracelet, as it was an
heirloom."
"That is," said her musical voice, "it
was left me by my mother, who used to
wear it."
As a matt ! .r of form, I obtained a de
scription of the article, certainly unique in
beauty and in rarity The general re
marked, begging my pardon at the same
time, that be had held the impression that
the finder must be an adroit thief, as Made
leine did not remember the bracelet slip
ping over her band.
"Sir," I said, 'although I am the lucky
finder I am still placed in the unpleasant
predicament of being your 'adroit thief.'
But I am fortunate in that the accident
has afforded um the occasion of meeting
with General D'Albret, of whose valor I
have heard so much."
1 then mentioned to him some acquaint
ances and friends who knew both of us.—
I passed the bracelet into his hands. My
notice of his valor gratified him, and he
insisted on my remaining to take a glass of
wine with him. He further said I must
do theta the honor of calling again, and
he would be proud to wait upon me at my
house.
HUNTINGDON, PA , FRIDAY, APRIL 2. 1880.
He t did wait up toe, and I called upon
hint, ut too (*Hi without seeing Made
Leine. Sometimes the pretty girl would
peep in and vanish. 'flie time passed. I
grew wore intimate at t Iv, house; she less
shy. One day xviiiie sitting with the
general, I took the opp •rtunity of scanning
the exquisite iace work. awl, as I moved
my band with seer:: ;.n7. carelessness, or
setting hair a drize:t stitches backward
the old general checked me by the remark :
''You will do a !nisehiel.'
A day or two artfT, I c:ited and the
general lwing detaincd, Mademoiselle IY-
Alhret hersclirceeived tne with a greeting
peculiar to natiood lormality. She then
resutuud werk in siletec. Presently
I saw a merry smile her countenance,
and she said t o nit', light heartedly:
"Why did y ,, u inA43 such mischief in
my work ? Why ri:,rl my thread, pucker
my net, and spoil my toc ?"
'Perhaps because that, instead of ma
king your escape this morning, you might

remark. "I have a little cousin at home

"She prefers it. She says it is pleasanter
to be a honey bee than a drone."
"I add to the wealth of my father," said
Madeleine, proudly. "We are poor. Your

'Oh, yes," I replied "finely. I have a

"I am not of her world," said Madeleine,
with something like a sigh, and working
out a thorn upon her vine, which was not
in the pattern.
It was to be a stupid evening, notwith

One afternoon, at the conclusion of a
brief ~ ..onversaiion, th<r !lerieral was rum
mooed to the door below. I stood, look
ing from the window, when I all at once
heard Madeleine singing to herself, as if
there were not another soul in the room.
It was an air from the opera we had heard
together. I turned, and approaching her
embroidery frame, sail:
"Tell me, utadeuvii,eiie, wiia , is it I have
done to offend you r"
She looked up a li . oweli t_ i nten rii nz
to be dignified. But S. , Irl her lips pursed
up and quivered, and then came an odd
peal of laughter.
"The .mall cousin marries next mouth,"
I whispered.
At last I determined to put my fate to
the test. One day the general had gone
out, and I came in. She greeted me with
an inclination of the head, a simple sen
tence, and-then . silence. I stood before
her, and broke forth :
"How long do you imagine I shall put
up with this, Madeleine ? Do you suppose
I can live under a sky so variable ; this
hour June—the next January ? Hence
forth it is to be all Summer—do you hear ?"
She grew as white as she bad been rosy;
her head fell forward over the embroidery
frame; I dashed it aside to take her in
my arms. She sobbed out :
"Toruive me! Oh, monsieur, forgive
me ! L ' had thought for so long that—it
wag the—small cousin."
"But I told you it was not. She mar
ries th• husband of her choice."
No reply. But soon the hidden face was
disclosed, and I was blessed with the reco!:
nition of my love.
The whole affair was explained to the
satisfaction of the general. lie privately
remarked to me :
"I had once the idea that it was you
yourself', after all, who stole my daughter's
bracelet."
"Well, sir ! And now ?"
"Now you have stolen her heart."

Literary Notes.
Scribner for April closes the XlXth volume of
this Magazine, which will be ten years old in
November. The current number contains a large
variety notwithstanding the space given to the
serials. Mr. Roe's "Success with Small Fruits"
comes to an end with the consideration of Rasp
berries, Blackberries, Currants and Gooseberries,
with hints about Picking and Marketing. Mr.
Cable's "Grandissimes" contains the s'ory of B. as-
Coupe, of which the reader has had provisions,—
a very dramatic piece of work, written with bold
ness and strength of characterization. r.
Schuyler's "Peter the Great" (of whose excellent
impression upon the readers the Scribner manage
ment hears much) proceeds to a third installment
with accounts of the pacification of the Streltsi
After the Riot, and the joint coronation of Peter
and Ivan as Czars; the third of the four part.: of
"Louisiana" shows an admirable phase of Mrs.
Burti•ett's genius the sosnes between Loulsana.
I,nd her father being among the most touching
passages of her writing.
S;in4le papers of popular interest are not want
log in this number. "The Growth of Wood-cut
rrinting," by Mr. Theodore L. De Vinne, the
printer of Scribner, deals with Early Methods on
the Hand-Press, and is to be followed by a second
Paper on the Modern Method by Machines, the
Superiority of which it is the object of the papers to
iemonstrate. "The Orchestra of To day," by Mr.
idney Lanier (who is a musician as well as a lit
ritteur), is likewise expository, being descriptive
If the differences of construction of the best-known
musical instruments. The difficulties of counting
fame and of directing an orchestra, and the de
4irability of encouraging women to devote them-
Selves to this department of music, are incidentally
dismissed. "Eighty Miles in Indiana Caverns" is
an account by Mr. H. C. Hovey, of explorations
in Sibert's and Wyandot Caves, the latter being
the largest cavern but one in the world. Some
geological specimens, beautifully engraved, are
amoeg the illustrations. "Rocky Mountain Mules"
by Mr. Ernest Ingersoll, is an illustrated paper of
En and adventure, not without practical informa
on for those who are Westward inclined. An
teresting anecdotal biography of Jules Miehelet,
whe historian, is contributed by Mr. J. D. Osborne,
ell known as a writer on Paris topics for this
Illtagazine. A short story by Mrs. Julia Scheyer
is entitled "A bummer's Diversion." The poetry
of the number includes a narrative poem, "Fra
letigi's Marriage," by "H. H.;" "The Torpedo,"
bir Charles de Kay, and poems by Dora Read
Gloodale and V-olet 'Hunt, the latter being an
Ettglioh girl of seventeen, who is th light, by
famous English poets, t) have very dechliiii poetle
gehiwi This is her first published pue.ia..
•,,, The departments, though not quite so fall as
usual; tare a number of features. In addition to
Duetor Holland's "Lay Sermon for Easter," there
is an offer by the conductors of Scribner of prizes
for the best wood-engraving to made by a pupil
during 1880, the judges to be Mr. Timothy Cole,
the engraver, Mr. De Vinne, the printer (above
mentioned), and Mr. Drake, the art-editor of the
magazine. It is said that while artists are com
plaining that the good times have not reached
them, the engravers have more work, at lucrative
priees, than they can do. Mr. J. Watts de Pey
ster writes about "Tbe First Breech-loading Ride"
ever used in line of battle, and there are three
explanatory cuts from the piece in the writer's
possession. "Operas for Amateurs," are treated
of in "Home and Society." Among the books
noticed are James's 'Hawthorne." Julian Haw
thorne's "Sebastian Strome," Dobson's poems and
Dr. " roe's beak on "The State of Prisons "
"Progress in Electric Lighting," is reviewed, and
a "New Refrigerating Process" and other inven-
thins are noted in "The World's Work" depart-
went. To "Brie-a-Brao" Mr. W. J. Linton, the
engraver, contributes a modern idyl in the style of
a distinguished poet, entitled "The Princes Noses,"
and apropos of the supposed tattooing of the eons
of the Prince of Wales. ,
The April Number of Harper's Mayrtaine is
rendered exceedingly attractive by its many b,au
tiful illustrations, and every artiels in its table of
contents is noteworthy. The Number opens with
the first part of Mrs John Lillie's paper, "Music
and Musicians in England"—a welt considered
and exceedingly interesting review of a musical
year in London, including also the great annual
and triennial festivals iu the provinces. The
illustrations are mainly portraits, and among
these we note a superb engraving of L. Aiai t.
Tadeina's recent portrait of lit:urge Henschel. Mr.
Abbey has added some characteristic sketches.
This paper, which will be concluded in the May
number, is, we understand, the first of a series of
contributions by Mr. and Mrs. Lillie on English
subjects of literary, historical, and picturesque
interest, to be illustrated by Abbey.
The rural charms of Chester Valley, Pennsylva
nia, and the associati ins of Valley Forge are the
theme of an excellent paper by Mrs. Ella Rodman
Church, with remarkably fine illustrations by
Howard Pyle.
Santa Fe, New Mexico, as described by Ernest
Ingersoll, and illustrated by J. Harrison Mills, is
a subject of intense interest, with a thrilling
history, and full of antique pictures.
The fish famine gives special interest to Miss
Cloud's illustrated article, describing an "Iri=h
Fishing Village,"—is charmingly described by S.
11. M. Byers, and accompanied with souls very
picturesque illustrations.
• E. 0. it. Bianciardi contributes an instructive
article on the works of Luca della Robbia and his
school, with four beautiful illustrations.
Otte of the moat interesting articles in the num
ber is Mary Treat's "Home Studies" in Nature,
with ten exquisite engravings from drawings by
J. C. Beard. It should be noted that the Tiger
and Turret Spiders, whose habits are here Se
minutely described, arc new to science. The
especial_ value of Mrs. Treat's contributions lies
in the fact that her observations are original.
Mr. William C. Prime, in his able artielo on
the "Early History of Bible Illustrations." not
only gives an important chapter in the history ot
Wood-engraving, but also clearly elpiirs that de
signs attributed to Holbei wets copied by him
from an earlier artist.
Of late much interest, in literary circles, has
attached to the poems of Francois Copper. One
of the most dramatic of these, "Shipwrecked,"
translated by E. W. Latimer, appears in this
Nualber, with two strong pictures by Reinhart.
In fiction the Number contains, besides the
set ial novels "White Wings" and "Mary Anerley,"
two excellent short stories: "Mr. Witnerton's
Romance," a humorous sketch, by Phoebe Yaims
Pewter, and "Au Easter Card," a beautiful tale,
by Virginia W. Johnson.
Mr. E. H. berry contributes a very timely and
important article on our navy. exposing its present
weakness, and offering valuable suggestions fur
its rehabilitation.

Beefsteak that will Last.
A dilapidated and rather seedy-looking
man entered an Atlanta, Ga , restaurant a
few days since. It was easy to imagine
that the object of his visit to the estab
lishment was fir the purpose of getting
something to eat. He had the appearance
of having been dug up, and was covered
from head to heels with red mud, and then
again the dilapidated and well worn suit of
cl:thes that partially covered his form from
the light of the sun suggested the idea
that be might be an advance or advertis
ing agent of rag factory.
Calling one of the pieces of machinery
of the establishment to his side he re
marked :
"Waiter, I want you to get me the
toutzhebt beef'teak that there in in the
house. Oct a big one and cut it from the
root of a horn."
"Yon don't mean that, do you ?" asked
the astonished waiter.
- , l:es, Ido I wean exactly what I say.
What I want is a piece of steak that, if
nei2essa,y, tan be made to do good service
as a ilo•.r hinge or to patch a saddle with,
if a man wants to use it in that way."
"B:ss, tell me what you want the steak
for and I will probably understand you
better," put in the waiter, whose eyes
ab,ut that time commenced to pop out of
their sockets.
The waiter's eyes also commenced to
show signs of giving out, and his mouth
had opened until a large size ham could
have been thrown in without touching his
teeth. The stranger came to the rescue
of the man by stating that he wanted the
steak to eat.
"You see," said he, "I any not a dry
goods clerk nor a sleeping ear conductor.
On the contrary, I am a tramp and expect
to leave fur Chattanooga to day. and what
I want is a piece of beef that will stand
by we until I reach Chattanooga, or, to be
inure explicit, I desire it so tough that it
will stick to me like a true friend.
At this juncture the waiter ran out of
the restaurant, crying, "Police! police
take that crazy man out of here" The
visitor, thinking that he must hava got
in the wrong establishtnent, picked up an
apology for a hat and slid out by a side
door.
The next thing that was seen of him he
was in a harness wh, , p, chewing a saddle
girth.
How the Earth will Perish.
The Planet of Venus, says Prof Proc
tor, has at atmosphere, and it is said to be
at the very least as dense as that of our
own earth. Then we learn also that oceans
are on her surface, because it has been
shown by the spectrum. It appears also
that it closely resembles our earth in con
dition, and that it is the one planet fit to
be the abode of living creatures like those
who exist on this earth. In 'Alarm we be
gin to recoenize the effects of planetary
old age. These greenish patches we must
regard as seas, and we find that they are
much smaller in comparison to the rest of
the area than in our earth. On our own
plannet 72 00 is covered with water, and
on this only about 50 00. The older planet
has the smaller water surface, and the idea
is suggested that in the old age of a planet
the waters gradually diminished in extent.
We pass to the moon to answer that ques
tion, and here we certainly find no traces
of water. Also, we trace no atmosphere
of appreciable density, and everything
tends to show that she had water on her
surface, but it has disappeared. Does this
seemingly cold and dead world appear to
have passed through the same stages as
our own earth ! I think we cannot doubt
this when we look at her volcanic craters
I think, too, there must have been there
such life as exists on our own planet
There were oceans on her surface, which
formerly occupied these spots, which, the
waters being withdrawn, present this fine
granulated appearance from this action.
This seems to be a natural explanation
As the planet becomes old the oceans he
come soaked into the planet's interior, the
crust of the surface, as the planet ,'eels be
ing formed into large cavities such as ex
ist in porous substances, and into these the
water is withdrawn Dr. Franklin, of
England, has shown that four times as
much water as new finds place on the
earth's surface could be found room for in
the earth, when the process of cooling has
gone sufficently far. Then, in regard to
the atmosphere, there is certainly no trace
in the moon, but we have a picture show
ing that the volcanic action of the moon
was at one time no less than in our own
earth. The moon probably represents the
future of our own earth at a distance of
time of twenty five million of years. When
the old age of the earth will come it will
cease as the abode of life. Let us pause
to consider some of the stars in this re
gard. Many of them are too old and many
too young to sustain life on their surfaces,
but that they were formed for some pur
pose beyond that of being useful to this
particular planet there is no doubt, A
study of the heavens seems to tell us that
all life should occupy all space and :ime,
and not be crowded into one portion of
space. So I think we may look at the
heavens with the thousands of stars to be
seen with the naked eye, and hold this
thought. There you have 6,000 each a
brother to our own sun, through many be
long to higher orders, and we may believe
they have thousands of orbs circulating
round them which are the abode of life.
And if each one has but a single world in
its system as the abode of life, we have
then thousands of inhabited worlds similar,
perhaps, to our own. In the one single
polar map nowo shown, there are 324, 000
stars, all to be seen with a small telescope,
and by one of Herschel's telescopes 20,000,-
000 stars would have been brought into
view iu the same section .1. the firmament.
But after all there still remains the thought
that each planet is tending toward death,
and though the periods of time are so vast
that they seem like eternity, the dying out
of the larger of these suns appears to us
like the death of the universe itself. But
take such an orb as Sirius, which is a
thousand times larger than the sun, and
after death all the smaller orbs will have
died; but can we escape the thought that
there will still remain others to take their
places? It seems to me we cannot, if we
remember how thoroughly we have been
deceived in the past. We thought the
earth the centre of the universe; theu the
solar system became but one in a galaxy of'
stars, and in turn the galaxy of stars is lost
in the infinitude of stare.
The Past Rises Before Me Like a Dream
From Bob Ingersoll's Indianapolis Spsecb.]
The past rises before sue like a dream.
Again we are in the great struggle for a
national life. We hear the pounds of prep
aration—the music of the boisterous drums
—the silver voices of heroic bugles. We
see thousands of' asssemblages, and hear
the appeals of orators ; we see the pale
cheeks of women, and the flushed faces of
men, and in those assemblages we see all
the dead whose dust have covered with
flowers. We lose sight of them no more
We are with them when they enlist in the
grand army of freedom. We see them
part with those they love. Some are walk
ing for the last time in quiet, woody places
with the maidens they adore. We hear
the whisperings and the sweet vows of
eternal love as they lingerly part forever.
Others are beading over cradles, kissing
babes that are asleep. Some are receiving
the blessings of old men. Some are part
ing with mothers who hold them and press
them to their hearts again and again, and
say nothing, and some are talking with
wives, and endeavoring with brave words
spoken in the old tones to drive from their
hearts the awful fear. We see them part.
We see the wife standing in the door with
the babe in her arms—standing in thesun
light sobbing, at the turn of the road a
had waves, she answers by holding high
in her loving hand the child, he is gone,
and fOrever.
We s:te them as they marched proudly
away under the flaunting fla g , keeping
time to the wild, grand music of war,
marching down the streets of the great
city, through the, towns, and across the
prairies, down to the 'fields of glory, to do
arid to die for the eternal right. We go
with them, one and all. We are by their
side on all the gory fields, in all the hospi
tals of pain, on all the weary marches. We
stand guard with them in the wild storm
and under the quiet stars. We are with
them in ravines running with blood—in
the furrows of fields. We are with them
between contending hosts, unable to move,
wild with thirst, the life ebbing slowly
away among the withered leaves. We see
them pierced by the ball and torn with
shell in the trenches by forts and in the
whirlwind of the charge, where men
become iron with nerves of steel.
We are with them in the prisons
of hatred and famine, but human speech
can never tell what they endure. We are
at home when the news comes that they
are dead. We see the maiden in the shadow
of her first sorrow. We see the silvered
head of the old man bowed with the last
grief. The part rises before us, and we see
4,000,000 of human beings governed by
the lash. We see them bound hand and
foot, we hear the strokes of cruel whips,
we see the hounds tracking women through
tangled swamps, we see babes sold from
the breasts of mothers. Cruelty unspeak
able ! outrage infinite.
Four million bodies in chains! Four
million Eouli in fetters ! All the sacred
relations of wife, mother, father and child
trampled beneath the brutal feet of might.
All this was dune under our own beautiful
banner of the free. The past rises before
us We hear the roar and shriek of the
bursting shell. The broken fetters fall.
These htrees died We look Instead of
slaves we see men, women and children.
The wand of progress touches the auction
block, the slave pen, the whipping post and
we see homes and firesides, and school
houses and books, and where all was want
and crime and cruelty and fear we see the
faces of the free. These heroes are dead.
They died for liberty—they died for us.
They are at rest. They sleep in the land
they made free, under the flag they made
free, under the flag they rendered stain
leas, under the solemn pines, the sad hem
locks, the tearful willow, and the embrac
ing vines They sleep beneath the shad
ows of the clouds, careless alike of sun
shine or of storm, each in the windowless
palace of rest. Earth may run red with
other wars—they are at peace. In the
midst of battle, in the roar of the conflict
they found the serenity of death. [A.
voice—' Giory !"] I have one sentiment
for the soldiers living and dead—cheers
for the living and tears for the dead.
A Lash With a Snapper.
[Three saloon keepers in Chicago were
found guility of sellin; liquor to minors,
and the Judge who sentenced them, as re
ported in the Chicago Times. said :] -
By the law you may sell to men and
women, if' they will buy. You have given
your bond and paid your license to sell to
them, and no one has a right to molest you
in your legal business. No matter what
the consequences way be, no matter what
poverty and destitution are produced by
your selling according to law, you have
paid your money for this privilege, and
you are licensed to pursue your calling.
No matter what families are distracted and
made miserable, no matter what wives are
treated with violence, what children starve
and mourn over the degradation of a pa
rent, your business is legalized, and no
one may interfere with you in it. No mat
ter what mother may agonize over the loss
of a son, or sister blush for the shame of
a brother, you have a right to disgregard
them all and pursue your legal calling;
you are licensed. You may fit up your
lawful place of business in the most entic
ing and captivating form; yon may furn
ish it with the most costly and elegant
equipments for your lawful trade ; you
easy fill it with the allurments to amuse
ment; you may use all your arts to induce
visitors; you may skillfully arrange and
expose to view your choicest wines and
captivating beverages; you way, then, in
duce thirst by all contrivances to produce
a raging appetite for drink ; and then you
may supply the appetite to the full, be
cause it is lawful ; you have paid for it;
you have a license.
You may allow boys, almost children, to
frequent your saloon; they may witness
the apparent satisfaction with which their
seniors quaff the sparkling glass; you may
be schooling and training them for the
period of twenty-one, when they, too, can
participate, for all this is lawful. You
may hold the cup to their very lips, but
you must not let them drink—this is un
lawful. But while you have all these priv
ileges for the money you pay, this poor
privilege of selling to children is denied
you. Here the parents have the right to
say, "Leave my son to me until the law
gives you the right to destroy him. Do not
anticipate that terrible moment when I
can assert for him no further right of pro
tection ; that will be soon enough for me,
for his mother, for his sister, for his friends
and for the community to see him take
his road to death. Give him to us in hie
childhood at least. Let us have a few
years of his youth, in which we may enjoy
his innocence and he repay us in some
small degree fur the care and love we have
lavished upon him." This is something
you who now stand a prisoner at the bar
have not paid for ; this is not embraced in
your license.
For this offense the court sentences you
to ten days' imprisonment in the county
jail and that you pay a fine of seventy-five
dollars and costs; and that you stand com
mitted until the fine and coste of this pros
ecution are paid.
Jerusalem To-day.
The view of Jerusalem from the west is
usually the first obtained by travelers from
Europe who have landed at Jaffa, the an
cient Jappa ; but the best is from the
Mount of Olives, on the east of the city.
This last quite overlooks the town, and
the spectator who stands upon the Mount
can see every considerable building and
most of the principal houses. The city
seems to slope from west to east, with a
slight depression in the centre. On the
southeast is the Mosque of Omar, sur
rounded by extensive and beautiful grounds,
occupying about one eighth of the modern
town. The inclosute is covered by green
sward and is dotted over with olive, cy
press and other trees, towering above which
is the mosque with its surrounding build.
ings. Another mosque stands in the
southwest angle of the Harem, as the
sacred inclosure is called ; and beyond, in
the same direction, appears a huge Arme
nian convent. In the northwest of the
city we can see a great Latin convent.—
Between these is the castle or citadel.—
The northeast is less built upon, but the
centre is crowded, and in that direction
rises the famous Church of the Holy Sep
ulchre, or of the Holy Places, with its con
spicuous domes. Eight or ten minarets
also catch the eye, indicating so many
mosques in different, localities. For the
rest the observer will pause to notice the
many low houses, and the flat plastered
roofs of the humbler dwellings. The sur
vey from the top of Olivet is, on the side
of Jerusalem, completed by the Valley of
Jehosephat, which lies between the Mount
and the city wall.
