Anarcharxis said ; ' |hat the vine bore three grapes: The first ,,l h Pleasure, the next Drunkenness and the next Misery. Every saloon above or ^ tinder ground is a fountain of iniquity. It may have a license and it -may go qj. along quite respectfully for awhile, bnt after awhile the cover will fall off and the £ color of iniquity will be displayed. ;lfp, "Oh'" says some one, "You ought to . be easier on such a traflc when it pays t_" ' such a Jarjje revenue to the Government, , and helps to support your schools and ^ tfi^our great institutions of mercy." And then 1 think of what William E. Glad­ stone said--I think it was the first time |pt he was Chancellor of the Exchequer-- ,, „ when men engaged in the ruinous traflc gli;" " ^g^^ljame to him and said tbeir business 1&, V ought to have more consideration from ^ the fact that it paid such a large revenue ^ >1"* *° the English Government. Mr. Gladstone said: "Gentlemen, don't Worry yourself about the revenue; give me thirty millions of sober people, aad we'll have revenue enough (and a snrplus." J We might in this country--this traflc perished--have less revenue, bnt we would have more happy homes, and we Would have fewer people in the peniten- I::.; IV^'Waiy. Mi. W.

(pi ' Of course it could not climb up by it-' ,, , „ self, so the nurse carried it in her arms. ^ It did not cry, but clapped its hands de- ? lightedly. The child was a little boy and the climbing of the stepladder took t? S „* P'ace the very room where he was :£• born. The mother regarded it as an im- ,v"i portaut event evidently.

She was searching for a mislaid article and was rummaging about on the closet shelves, when she laid her hand on a lady's golr kr . watch. It did not belong to her, and she was at a loss to understand how it came there. The incident worried her so that she finally went to the offce where Mr. Hood is employed to tell lmn *: about it. Mr. Hood was as much sur­ prised as his wife, and advised her to make a further investigation. Upon her return home she again went to the closet shelf and there found her silver spoons, which she had packed away in a s& p trunk in another room a few days be­ fore. The only satisfactory explanation they could find was that burglars had been in the house and had the gold watch SfS »&Y with them. They probably found the f W silver spoons, and were looking in the V"M, closet for other valuables when they be- came frightened and hurried away, leav- *' 'W mg the watch and spoons lying on the " -S r ,•> shelf. Mrs. Hood has advertised the gtV watch, but so far has' failed to find an | ̂7 owner.--Chicago Journal.
