So, Minty, it's me an’you sgin, is it? '
Strange, after so long a while, to think
I sh’d be comin’ to make ye a visit,
An’ set tipped back here ugiu' the sink,
An’ tock to ye jes’ 's I did, ye know—
Wal, nigh on to forty year ago!
Le’ me see! Married in twenty-six;
’Twuz a new house then, an’ye moved right in.
Don’t look quite so new to-dayi It’s slick’s
It over was, though—neat as a pin!
I ollers told Jerome, when he got
_Our Mima, he picked the best o’ the lot.
Ye axed my advice, remember: “ He s’ut

Says I, .“ner you wuu’t find him a sarnt:
Wei 1. off, though, an’ that’s a consideration.
'F be gits the right kin’ of a wife, he’ll let her
Manage. I guess ye can’t do no better,”
Says I. An’ ye found it jes’ ’bout so. .
Ye begun ’ith him right, I allers‘said.
'F a woman 'expec’s t3 hoeher row
With a man—,keepiu’ mebby,’ a little ahead—
She mns’ start in season: slim chance sh’ll stau',
Once give him fairly the upper han’!‘
Then I got married. Ah, wal, poor- Mary!
She made a good wife, though she wasn’t strong.
You never looked into a hou’somer dairy! ,
An' she was as pleasant’s the day was long,
With jes’ the perfyis’ kin" of a v’ice.
I never had reason to rue my ch’lce.
I got a wife an’ a farmto boot;
. Ye couldn’t kctch me a nappln’, there!
Thinks I, nowa’posin’ the wife donlt sootf
The farm’ll be somethin’ to make that finare:
No resk ’bout that! An' where’s the ham,
If the wife turns out as good as the farm 2
She'd nat’ral lsrniu'—bright’s a dollar!
It runs in the Grimeth wnz Clear Grimes.
I’m mos’ sorryI didn’t foller ‘

The’ wa’nt nothin’ but _what she understood:
An’ herjedgement in matters was oliors good.
It might ha’ been well if 'I had—do’no.
’Twan’t never my way to be led. i hate
A woman ’at wears the breeches: an’ so
Mebbey by tryin’ to stan’ too straight,

A Few Words to the Veteran, No. 3.
BY A 80! Ol' TEMPEEA‘NCZ.
In “ Thoughts on Temperance, Na. 2.” the " Vet-
eran " makes use ofthese words: “ We have tried the
Home Law, and if has/oiled us." This has been the
rnmseller’s cry for years, and it has been taken up
and echoed far and wide by every one opposed to the
temperance cause.- But is it the truth 7 We claim
it is not, and that no true friend of temperance
should everinake such an assertion.. With deep rc-
gret we are compelled to admit ihat the law is‘uot
enforced, though it is openly violated every hour
but that does not prOve it a failure. Should not the.
failure be charged upon us, ‘rather than the law ?
We claim it should, for we kfi‘ow when it was enfdrc-
ed. it was a success.
Suppose amurder should be committed openlyln
our midst, and we had the power to arrest and pun-
rfgltl or just to say that the law against murder was
a failure f Every one will answer no; and yet that
is the very pdsition in which we are placed in regard
to the Probibltory Liquor' Law. That law gives us
the power to arrest and punish all those who shall
sell intoxicating liquors, except authorized agents,
and yet we fold our hands, let the ,traffic go on, and
declare the_law a failure. Ashameful ppsition truly.
Very few, perhaps, understand whyits enforcement
business we propose to briefiy glance at some of the
mauyrensons. When the law went into operation.
August 1st, 1854, nearly every one engaged in the
rum tradic had “ set their house in order," fully ex-
pecting the law" would be enforced. Some gave up
entirely, while others made arrangements to con tin-
' us the business on the sly. We cannot recall a sin-,
gle instance where the business continued openly.
Public opinion was strongly in favor of a rigid en-
forcement of the law, and had our officers been -the
right kind of men, we should have had _very little
trouble. Unfortunatelythey were not. ’ Grand J u-
rors would endeavorin every possible way to evade
their duty, and' oftiimes they refused, entirely, to
perform it. ' . ‘
Sometimes when they did take notice of a com-
plaint, there was good reason to believe they gave
the liquor dealer warning, thereby giving him time
topnt his liquor out of the way. The same was true
of Justices. ' .
. We cannot call to mind, now. but one who was al-
ways ready to do his whole duty, and that one is
. Wm. H. Benedict. Had every ofiicer discharged his
duty as faithfully as Mr. Benedict did, very few.,if
any, would have continued the rum business. In or-
der to show how little dependence could be placed
on these ofilcers, even when they gave you a sole'mn
promise that they would attend to their duty, we
will relate a circumstance that came under our oivn
observation. - Q
There was good reason to believe that certain par-
ties were engaged in the sale of intoxicating liquors,
in violation of law, and it was proposed to have
them all arrested, a'nd their liquors seized at one
time. In company with two well known temper-
ance men we called on a certain Grand Juror, and
laid the matter before him. He assured us the evi-
dence we gave him was all he desired, and promised
to make out the necessary papers and'have them all
arrested on a certain day. We next called on a cer-
tain Justice and told him what we had in cbntem-
plation. This Justice seemed pleased with the ar-
rangements we had made, and promised tobold him-
self in readiness for the trial. 'We inquired. whether
he would take charge of every case, and he fold us
he would. Feeling c fident this would prove a
death blow to'the rum traffic in Norwalk, we rcturn~
ed home to wait for the appoimed day. A day or
two before the time arrived for the arrests to be
made, we called on the'Grand Juror to learn what
progresshe was making He assured us everything
was working favorably, and bringing out a large
bundle of papers, be spread them before us with the
request that we would look them over and see if they
were satisfactory. When we had expressed ourselves

dence, informed us that he thought of leaving town
for a few days, and requested us to-take the papers.
pay him)?» what he had done, and get some, one else to
execute them. In every few words we gave him to
understand that we should not comply with this _re-
quest. He seemed surprised at our refusal; but find.
ing that we were firm he at last proposed to defer his
contemplated visit and finish up the business, with
the exception of one case. The one he refused to
have anything more to do with, we considered the
most important of all. We next called on the Justice
and soon learned that that worthy gentleman had
changed his mind too. He now told us he would
take charge of half the cases, provided another Jus-
tice. gosc name he gave us, would the other half
the cases, but in case that Justice would not, he
would have‘nothiug more to do with it himself. The'
Justice we had been referred to declined, (without
much ceremony) having anything to do with it. Our
first impulse was to seek some other officers, but af-
ter due deliberation, we came to the conclsion to let
the matter rest awhile, feeling sure that men having ,
so little regard for their word, would not hesitate to
notify the rumsellers of the movement, and thus reu-
der our efi‘orts futile. But our Town Officers were
not the only ones who endeavored to throw every
obstacle possible in the way, to prevent the enforce-
ment of the law. Judges of the higher courts did
their full share. One case recurs to our mind that
fully sustains this position. I certain rumseller ap-
pealed from our Town Court to the~ County,——as it
was then called, if we mistake not—Court hen
the case came up for trial, it was found that the priu
cipai witness was missing. After a considerable
trouble he was found and taken to Danbury where
the Court was in session. As soon as the rumseller'
’ saw this witness, aplea of guilty was entered on
three charges. The sentence of the Court was ninety
days in the County Jail, and the payment ofa certain
finc, we don’t remember the exact amou ‘ yet in
three days this rumseller was let loose upon the com-
unity again. and not a single cent of the fine had—
bccn paid. There was one feature ' connected with
this case that deserves capecial notice, for it proves,
we think, that some of our ofiicers, at least; were in
league with the liquor dealer. Before the witness
had been found, the rumsellers of Norwalk told us
what the result ofths trial would be, if the witness
was found, and ofi'ered to bet large sums of money
that the rumseller would not remain in Jail to eiceed
three days. The result proved they were correct,
and. as might have been expected, gave them new
courage to go on with their hellish work, while it
disheartened thefrieuds of temperance. .
Next came the cry from some of the nervous tem-
perance men, “ you will injure the party by ' an en-
forcement of the law." They are good temperance
men at heart, butparty is their God, and everything
must give way foparty. We never hear this cry but
what itmakes us almost heart-sick, for we know it
makes the rumsellerirejoicc. Did any one ever hear.
f a rumselier letting any fear of party stand in his
way 7 On the contrary, do they not quake mm the
miles power of their party I They have long done
so, and we have met them on that issue, in times
past, an‘lned the victory. Then why tremble for
party now 7 Surely we have no real cause for fear- .
Then let us do our duty and trust in God to protect
the right. The rumseller looks upon these over-cau-
tious temperance'meu as/riends rather fhanfaes, for
they oftentimes hold others back who, wodld enforce
the law, and thus enable them to continue the tram-
' ic. Our earnest prayer has iong‘been that “the
scales might drop from the eyes” of such temper-
' guce men, that they might reaiize the situation, in
which they stand, feeling sure, if thattime ever did
come, they would sacrifice party, rather Martyn-ind.
ple, as they are now doing.
The to: question, is unother‘i‘ormidablc stumbling
block in the way of ‘the enforcememt of the law.
Some men act as though they thought this question
was thermily one worthy of consideration., and we
have sometimes thought, if one was, to whisper the
word taxes over their graves, after death,'itwouid
- bring them to life again. We are ready to admit
this question is. and should be, an important one to
all; but We cannot see any sense in becoming fright-
ened without cause, as has been done in this case.
The liquor dealers were the first to‘souud the alarm,
that the enforcement of the law would increase the
mu. When we consider it is for their interest to
prevent its enforcement, shOuld we not investigate
such statements, before receiving them as facts 1
Yet we know that hundreds of professed temperance
. men did receive these statements as the truth, with.
out any investigation at all, and have done their
very best to make the law a " dead letter” ever since
making themselves thereby, sharers in the guilt of
the rum traffic. But Wherever the law has been en-
forced, it has proved this statement about the in-
crease of taxes false, for it has caused them to de-
crease at a wonderful rate. Enforce the Prohibitory
Liquor Law in any'town, and you will soon see pau-
porlsm and crime decrease; and the taxes diminish,
for they are, in a great measure, the direct fruit of
the rum trafilc. But let us suppose that“ does in-
ccease our taxes, would that be any good reason
why we should let the traffic go on f It always costs
something to arrest and punish a robber, yet who
objects to the apron R And is not the rumseller the
greatest of all robbers f Will he not take .even the
bread from astarvin g child’s mouth, to satisfy his
- thirst for gain 1 ' '
Again, the law against murder cannot be enforced
without increasing expense, yet who would not rath-
tab the murderer, yet let him escape; would it be.

~ly defying the law he failed to defeat at the ballot

ished 7 And is not the rumsellcr the greatest mur.
derer that exists '2 Does he not torture his' victims,
killing them inch by inch, as it Were 7 _' Then why
should we be afraid of expense in bringing him to
justice 7 We cannot see any reason why’ we should,
and hope we shall not hear anything more about tax-
csiu connection with the enforcement of any law for
the suppression of crime. We might give other rea~
sons why the law has not been enforced, but trust
those we have already given will be sufficient to con-
vince, even the “ Ve‘eran,” that the failure dces not
rest with the law, but with the rams.
The ~“ Veteran " next tells us, ‘fi't will not be long
before they (meaning the' rumseiler and his minions,
we presume) will demand the repeal of our stringent
law, and when they do, it will be granted.”
The “ Veteran " does not seem to know that'they
have made this demand over and over again, untiiit
has beccmc an old story to us, but it has never' been
granted yet, and we feel confident it never will be.
Now don’t this ignorance of temperance affairs prove
him a genuine Rip Van Winkle, and having his po-
sition as a temperance m'un thought doubtful, as we
claimed from the first} We can account for it in no
other way, though he does feel sensitive about being
called '0 Rip Van Winkle. We had much rather be-
lieve him an honest, straightforward temperance
man, but if there is any doubt in regard to his pOsi-
tion, he has no one to blame but himself, as the fol<
lowing brief summary of it, as defined by himself
will prove.
- 1. He worked hard to secure the enactment of the
Probibltory Liquor Law. , Very good so far.
1. He finds the principle of prohibition is wrong,
because it is not in unison with'God’s laws.
3. The lawis too stringent, because if it should be
strictly enforced it would-be impossible for any one
to get drunk. Extremely queer doctrine fora tem-
Perance man; =' "V““v‘” "”7 g .
4. Does not think it best to give up the use of all
wine as a leverage, because it is barely possible that
there may 'be a few drops somewhere in this wide
world that will not intoxicate. Wonder where it is.
5. He shows his ignorance about temperance in try-
ring to make out that it has not made any progress in
the past fifteen years, when any school boy could tell
him it had.
This looks as though he was a new recruit, Cr'a
Rip—no, that won’t do—had been asleep.
6. Me denounces the Proliibitory Liquor law as
odious, a failure, etc-
is is just what the rumscilers have been doing
fur years. Strange, is it not, that a temperance
man should join with them in the cry. It is our
earnest desire wbciieve'tbe “Veteran? a good tem-‘
perance 'man, yet With this record, I find it very
much like trying to take castor oil—goes hard. We
heartily agree with the "Veteran that the liquor
shops are public nuisances and should be abated.”
Tbagood of the entire community, _ihe interest of
the tax-payers, and the safety of the rising genera-
tion oil demand that it shall be done without delay.
It husloug been a wonder to us how any Christian
community could, or would tolerate the traffic. One
scene, such as we witnessed in the the Twon Hall in
Norwalk, at the first State election after the enact-
ment of the Prohibitory Liquor Law, should convince
every one who has any regard for the welfare of
mankind, . either here or hereafier, that it is high
time liquor dealers were made to understand that
they must give up the business. We stood watching
the excited crowd gathered around the ballot box,
when our attention was called to ii lending rumsel-
ler who was pushing his way through the crowd
toward the desk. One arm was around the waist of
a poor, broken down, bloated, rum-mode pauper.
he was leading up to vote for men pledged to repeat1
the law that made his business a crime, punishable
by fine and imprisonment. .
I Reaching the desk, the rumseller placed a ticket
between the trembling fingers of that poor ruin-curs-
ed pauper, and when his _name (a name familiar‘to
nearly' every one in Norwalk) was called, we saw
him make an efi‘ort to raise his hand to deposit it,
but his arm refused to perform its pflce,. and the
hand fell by his side. Fearing he should lose the
vote, the rumsciler grasped the poor- creature’s arm
and raised it until his hand rested on the ballot box.
This is no fancy sketch, as many can testify Where
are those men, to-day 7 One fills, not only a drunk-
ard's, but apauper’s grave, while the other continues

such things continue ‘2 The law gives you the power
to close every one of _‘thesc ccss-pools of iniquity.
Will you use that power? ‘Now is the time to begin.
Dclays are dangerous. ' ‘
The “Wteran-l’ says the law is so odious in this
community, that no man darcs attempt its enforce-

would discover that he was as “poor as a church

a law. We had far better keep the one we have now _
and if we see an opportunity to amend it, so as to
make it more effectual, let us improve it by all
means, but in the meal: time let us see that it is en-
forced. In a short time we can convince those who,
fear the party will be injured, that their safety lies in
an enforcement of the law, and the tax-beai ing tem-
perance men that their interest lies in the same direc-
tion. We must expect, for a time, Opposition from

_ Scarlet Fever.
Dr. Both, ofBoston, f ishes Good Health
with a paper in which 6' discusses scarlet
fever and its treatment: _
It always begins with a loss of appetite;
then fever and sore throat; then red pulch-
es; then recovery, or otherwise' quick or
slow death, according to circumstances. To
arrest the course an to prevent its rava-
ges, medicines and anipulations ad li'bt'tum
have been tried invvaiu; more children die
of scarlet fever now than one thousand
years ago.- And why ? Because nothing,
absolutely nothing, is as yet- known as to-
what scarlet fever is; and What is still
worse, there was, until recently, no need
felt Of such knowledge.
It is as unnecessary for a child to die of
scarlet fever as it is that it should be blind
with cataract. Let us see. ' At anytime be-
fore lhe body has finished its ineffectual
struggle we are able to help it, not by won-
derful medicines, but by the knowledge of
anatomy, and application of common sense.
We consult 'the sympathetic nerve, and do
what it commands us to do. We must give
this child shit when it wants it, we most
give itsacidwhen it has fever and anxiously
craves it—not vinegar, but lemon juice, be-
cause the first coaguiotcs albumen, the lat-
ter does not, on account of the surplus of
oxygen which it contains. To imitate the
soothing mucus in the intestines, which is
now wanting, and to give some respiratory
food at the same time, we add gum arubic.
To restore and relieve the injured nerve, we

following simple, manipulations: Undrcss
the child and put it to bed at the very firsl
sign of sickness.‘ .Give it, if 'it already has
fever, nothing but sourish warm lemonade,
with some gum arabic in it. Then c‘over llS
abdomen with dry flannel. _ Take a well‘
folded bed sheet, and put it in boiling water

put this on the anus] over the child’s ab-
domen. Then coverihe whole and wait.
The hot cloth Will perhaps require repeated
heat. According to the severity of the case,
and its stage of progress, perspiration will
commence in the child in from ten minutes
.to two hours. The child then is saved; it
soon falls asleep. Soon after the child
ownkes it shows slight symptoms of a 112—.

ready eil‘us'ions'iu the lining of the heart or

But if .the above is applied in due time, un-

physician, I will guarantee that not one in a
hundred children will die of scarlet fever. I
know this will startle some of my readers,

is still more startling, but nothing is easier

Prof. Von Niameyer’s treatment of whoop-

Romantic Story Of an Actress
Miss Logan gives instances of many act-
resses who have captivated rich and titled
suitors by their beauty and cleverness.
Among the stories that she quotes on this
point, the most interesting is that of Miss
Mendel, a German actress. We give the
romantic history as we find it related in her
book: I
‘- It is said that she was: the most lovely
woman‘ in Germany, her beauty being of
the true German‘type, of the peculiar- fair-
ncss beheld in no other country—golden
hair, in soft, silky _m'usses, without the small-
est tinge of auburn—pure gold—unburn-
-ishcd; a complexion scarce] ever seen in
nature, and almost impossib eto produce by
artificial means; lips of dark carnation;
teeth small and exquisitely white, and eye-
rows of the darkest brown, with eyes of
the deepest blue. All this made such an
impression onvthe heart of the Duke Louis ‘
of Bavaria, that from the moment that he
first beheld her at‘ the Munich Theatre lie
vowed himself to the worship of this one
idol. .'But Mademoiselle Mendel was valiant
in the defence of her reputation, and re-
sisted every overture, even that'of marriage,
on the-purl of the Duke, well knowing that
it was almost out of his power to contract.
an alliance ot'thc kind, as much was ex-
pected of him by his family. At that time
.Mllle. Mendel was in the habit of wearing
a velvet collar, with a clasp ornamented by
a single pearl of great value, which had
been presented to her by the King of Sax-
ony, and in.order to quell all hope of success
in the bosom of her ducal admirer, she de-
clared to him one day that she had made a
vow to bestow her heart and hand on him
alone who could match this single pearl
with as many others as would form lhe
whole necklace.
The declaration was made luughiugiy, for
the fair creature knew well enough that the
Duke, living fully up to his income, amid
never accomplish this hcl'cuiezlil illsii. Boon
afterward she heard that ihr‘ Duke had sold
his horses, broken up his establishment, and
gone to live in strict retirement in zt small -
cottage belonging to his brother’s park.
That very night, when about in place the
velvet band upon her neck, she them] to her
great surprise, that a second pearl had been
added to the clasp. She knew well enough
whence it came, and smiled sadly at the loss
of labor she felt sure that Duke Louis was
incurring for love’s sake. By degrees the
velvet band became covered with pearls, all
of them as fine as lhe one~bcstowed by the
King of Saxony, until one evening great
was the rumor in Augsburg, the fair Mendel
had been robbed; while on the stage di-
vested of ornament, in the prison’ scene, as
Bettina you Armstedt, her dressing room
had been entered, and the velvet collar with
its row of pricelesg pearls had disappeared
from the toilet table. The'event was so fer-
i'ibie, her nerves so shaken, that in spite Of
the assurance of the chiefpoiice magistrate,
who happened to be _in thetheafre at the
moment, that. he was sure to find the thief
in a very. short time, for he had the clue
already, poor Mlle Mendel was so overcome
by grief that her memory failed her entirely,
so that on returning to tire stage not a word
could she remember of her part. The audi-
ence waited for some-lime in astonishment
at the silence in piteous embarrassment until
by a sudden inspiration and almost mechan-
ically, indeed, she remembered she had the
rehearsal copy of the play in the pocket of
her apron. She drew it orth without hesi-
tation, and began to read from it. At .first
the audience knew not whether to laugh or
be angry, but presently memory, pathos,
for of uluess of all but her art had returned
to iIlie. Mendel, and in the utterance of one
of the most impassioned sentiments of her
speech shc flung the rehearsal copy into the
orchestra, and went on with her part with-
out pause or hesitation. The applause of
the audience was so tremendous that one of
the witnesses of. the scene has told us that
the monster chandelier in the centre of the
room swung to and fro with the vibration.
But on her return to~thc deessing-room the
excitement proved ino_much for her, and
she fainted away. On co ' g back‘ to con-
sciousness, it was to find D e Louis at her
feet, and the head conundrum: standing by
her side, bidding her take courage, for the
pearls had been found. “Where are they ‘2”
exclaimed she. . .“Are you sure that none
am missing? Have ‘ none been stolen ?”
Duke Louis then clasped around her neck
the string of pearls, complete at last, no
longersewcd on the velvet fiandfbut strung
with symmel , and fastened-with a dis-
mond clasp. but more could be done by
the devoted lover? He had spared neither
pains 'COI‘ saérifice to attain his end, and
)llle. Mendel consented to become his wife,
The Emperor of Austria appears to have
been much moved by the story, and sug-
gested the nomination of the bride elect to
the title of Baroness de Wailersee, which
thus equalized the ranks of the flames, and
enabled them to marry without difficulty.
They lived the most retired life possible, in
their little chateau on Lake Stannberg.
They say that the Duchess Louisa of Bava-
ria never puts ofi‘, night or day, the necklace

now Good Templar-a are Initiated.
The method of initiating a candidate into
a lodge of Good Templars is but a slight
improvement upon the same programme so
long in vogue b the ancient and honorable
fraternity of the ‘ Sons ‘of Malta." A chap
who was taken from a Utica lager beer sa-
loon, where he got tight without knowing
that lager would intoxicate, was put thro’
a course of cold water - treatment by the
Good Templars‘ the other evening. He
pouches on the Templars and gives the fol-
lowing ezepoee of their initiation ceremOny,
for which no doubt he will be-put through
soother course of cold water “ sprouts ” at
lhe next meeting of the lodge. In the first
place the victim of initiation is blindfolded,
bound hands and feet-and thrown into a ci-
der press, and pressed for five minutes.
This is done for the purpose ofclearing his
system of old drunks. He is then taken out '
of the elder press, and,by means of a force

which a sealing plaster is put overhis mouth
and he is rolled in a barrel four or five times
across the room, the choir at the same .lime
singing the cold water song. He is now ta-
ken out of the barrel and hung up by the
heels till the water runs out through his ears.
He is‘ then cut down, and a beautiful young
lady hands him a glass of cistern water. A
cold bath is then furnished him, after which
he is showered with cistern water. He is
then made to read the “ Water Works Act”
ten times, drinking a glass of cistern water
between each reading; after which the old
