I saw the old year balt along, His pack upon his shoulder He sang the tag end of an old sad song, And the notes came holiow, weak wrong, And the light of his eyes was a smoulder.

and

Feebly, feebly, he tottered by, But, as he passed, he knew me, | ** Ah, ha, poor friend,'’ quoth he, with a sigh, ** T’ve complaints and sorrows of yours by the bye, Jumbled up in my pack Eighty-Seven. ’ Said I, ‘* You have, and lots, beshrew me,”

‘* And where did we first meet,” he said, ‘© In London town,” I replied, ** You came in a fog as heavy as lead, Ghastly, horrible, damp and dread, You began but ill,and you'll soon be dead, And we'll all be bese

* Come now,” said he, “‘ you might be too severe,” * Kight-Seven,” said I, *‘ 1 couldn't,” Why, just lock, if, you please, at the rheamatics here ; Now, if I, like you, was a_ boss of the sphere, I'd stop such things when I was the year, T would, I'll be blowed if I wouldn't.

He pointed down to his halting gait, Each footstep made him lamer, ** You see. I share the general fate ; We ali get the rheumatics early or late, And as for the rest, why it is useless to

prate, And silly to be a declaimer.

** For you, remember, are only one Of the many who will fill my pack, Each puny mortal under the sun, The most that he can do has done To load me with discontent by the ton ; You've made me old e’er my time is run, You've nearly broken my back.”

The wintery night engulphed him, still Through wreaths of whirling snow

His faint sad song came down the hill,

‘‘ They'll ‘think of me, though they speak

me ill,

When their ageing eyes with tears shall fill For loved friends lost when | was here,

When Eighty-Seven was king of the year In the land of long ago.”

‘‘And somethidg more besides, it would seem,” said the Udaller; ‘‘ for I, at least, had pare heard before that Minna had hurt her- self.”

‘**Ob, a scratch ! a mere scratch!” said the old man ; ‘‘ but I was startled about it—terri- fied lest it had been the bite of a dog, or same hurt’ftom.a venomous thing. I told all to Norna, however.”

“And what,” answered the Udaller, “did she say in the way of reply ?”

‘*She bade me begone about my business, and told me that the issue would be known at the Kirkwall Fair ; and said just the like to this noodle of a Factor—~it was all that either of us got for our labor,” said Halero.

‘*That is strange,” said Magnus. ‘‘ My kinswoman writes me in this letter not to fail going thither with my daughters. This Fair runs strongly in her head ;—one would think she intended to lead the market, and yet she has nothing to buy or tosell there that 1 know of. And so you came away as wise as you went, and swamped your buat at the mouth of the voe?”

Temperance—Intemperance.

THE TWO PATHS.

Supposing that you were going to a par. ticular goal and there were two paths to it, and one path was perfectly safe, and perfectly easy and prosperous, and bathed in sunshine, and supposing that the other path led through & jungle in which a large number of persons lost their way, and a large number of persons were attacked with malarious fevers, and others were killed by wild beasts, and others were stang to death by serpents—now those two paths are exactly what the difference be- tween the path of abstinence and the path of what is called moderate drinking represents for very large numbers of men. It is per- fectly true that hundreds end thousands may P as safely through the jungle ; they may not ose their way ; they may not. be attacked by malarious fevers ; they may vot be killed by wild beasts or stung to death by serpents ; but it is perfectly certain that of aii who pass through that jungle there will be a certain number, and @ large number, who suffer in one or other of these ways, then that becomes a danger which is better avoided ; and really the case of many in regard to drinking is like passing through that jungle. Many persons, muddied and confused, lose their way, and others shorten their lives and endanger teeir health, in which case they are like the persons who ‘suffer from malarions fevers. Other persons have been temperate up to a certain moment of their lives, and then, per- haps, their wife dies, or some bereavement occurs, and they ure lonely and miserable, and then they take to drinking anc. come to the fearful end of a drunkard. They are like those upon whom a wild beast leaps out of the thicket of the jungle. Others, agaia, go step by step until they find themselves in the grasp of a most terrible vice. They are like those who are approached in the jungle by the stealthy serpent, coming to them secretly through the rustling leaves of the forest. Life is beset with dangers and temptations ; if you are total abstainers, and if you remain total abstainers, you will certainly not suffer in health, in happiness, or in any earthly good, and you wil! absolutely have eliminated from your life one serious source of danger.

TRANSGRESSION IN YOUTH.

To transgress is literally to go beyond the line of right, truth, or satety, Transgression may be moral, intellectual, or physical, or it may combine all qualities in the same act. By an inexorable law of nature, a penalty fol- lows every transgression. Nor, in the physical world, does ignorance of the law in the least avert or modify the penalty. The result is the same with thoughtlessness, and even with good intentions.

One peculiarity of early transgression is that it is largely committed in ignorance of the penalty. The youth is without that ex- perience against which old transgressors sin, az well ax without that knowledge of physical laws and their penalties which comes of later study and instruction.

Again, -youth has a surplus of vigor. The recuperative tendency is very strong within him. No appreciable harm seems to follow wrong-doing, and if it does, all apparent trace of it is soon

But some sins are like cumulative poisons. Small doses of them have no appreciable effect, yet the poison remains in the system, and ac- cumulates with every repetition, until dan- gerous, or even fatal, results ensue. Some such sins also gradually form themselves into habits, as hard to break as chains of steel

Now, as the child knows little of this, and the youth but little more, the parent should be, and usua!ly is, aware what indul- gences tend toward moral corruption and hysical ruin; that unholy passions shorten ife antl. destroy one’s influence; that the boy whatever his inteilect or culture, who takes the wine-cup fromthe hand of beauty, may die in the gutter; alcohol in all its forms, and opium and tobacco, work in time such changes within the physical system, that the very will the supreme ruler in man, becomes enslaved to a depraved bodily appetite.

These changes that destroy the will-power are in the very substance of the brain and nerves, andare greater and more irretrievable during the period of growth.

SEEMING INTOXICATION.

In no class of people does heredity do a

more disastrous Work then in the descend- ants of drinkers, whether excessive or moder- ate. A morbit appetite for liquor in such cases, witli the disadvantage of an inherited nerve degeneration, may menilest itself in many terrible forma. Among these many forms are the ordinary’ sy:optoms of intorica- sion in a person perfectly temperate. Dr. Corthers, of Hartior(’, Coon., presents many such cases in a paper read before the American . Association. for the Cure of Inebristes, and published im the Alienist and Neurologist.

The tirst cases that attracted his attention were two boys, sons of drunkards, ‘in the Hartford Deaf sand Dumb Asylum, who had shown clear signs of intoxication from their birth. He was afterwards surprised to find such cases not uncommon, In some persons the symptoms are present all the time, either appearing at birth, or slowly developing with the growth of thechild. Most of such cases show other marked indications of physical degeneration-—as idiocy, imbecility, or bodily deformity.

In a second class of cases, almost any 6x citement is sufficient to bring on an attack. This class may inelude persons of average in- tellect, and even of genius. In taem the neurotic (nerve) degeneration may, at @ later date, end in imbecility or insanity. A farmer, fifty-tour years old, a man of werlth und char- acter, whose father was a drunkard, but who

or some little trifle of my own, and so sleep/ himself never used any kind of spirits, show-

as sound as cobblers.”

‘«Two cups of brandy, if you please,” said the Udaller, ‘‘if our stores do not run dry; but not a single stave of glorious John, or of anyone else to-night.”

And this being arranged sud exeomted agreeably to the peremptory pleasure of the | Udaller; the whcle party consigned themaelves to slumber for the night, and on the next day departed ior taeir several habitations, Claud Halero having previously arranged with the Udaller that be .would. accompany him and his daughters on their proposed visit to Kirk- wall.

Personal Property Tax aND Pot Tax Norice.—All persons who have not. paid their personal tax and,poll tax for years 1886 and 1887, are requested to pay the

ed symptoms of intoxication after meeting \with an accident from a runaway horse. At ‘the funeral of a child, some months later, his family were greatly mortified at his silly lan- guage, staggering gait, aud other marked symptoms of intoxication. A year later « singular atteck followed the burning of some Prittings on Lis farm.

There are simiiar ceses ia which the nerve degeneration is due, uotto heredity, but to earl babita of intoxication. A noted temperance lecturer, a total abstainer for ten years ormore, received while sah oene + despatch anuouncing the fatal illness o his deughter.
