Till all their bells of silver ring.

On this chill pageant, melt and move

And, soft and low, thou wind south-blowing,
Breathe through a veil of tendcest haze ,

And to this dead, cold splendor bring

Women and Wine.
, Woman has never been associated with
wine without disgrace and disaster. The
toast and the bacchaual that, with musical
aliteration, couple these two words spring
from the hot lips of sensuality, and are bur-
denedwith shame. A man who can sing of
wine and women in the same breath is one
whose presence is disgrace and whose touch
is pollution. A man who can forget mother
and sister, or wife and daughter, and wan-
tonly engage in a revel in which the name
of women is invoked to heighten the pleas-
ures of the intoxicating cup, is beyond con~
troversy and without mitigation, a beast.
“Dost thou think, because thou art virtuous;
there shall be no more cakes and ale i" Ay,
cakes and ale, if you will, but letit be cakes
and ale. Let not the name by which we
call the pure and precious ones at home be
brought in to illuminate a degrading
feast.
Of the worst foes that woman has ever
had to encounter, wine stands at the head.
The appetite "for strong drink in man has
spoiled the lives of more women—ruined
more hopes for them, scattered more for-
tunes for them, brought to them more sor-
row, shame, aud hardship—than any other
truth, and no pen is capable of portraying
the truth. The sorrows and the horrors ofa.
wife with a drunken husband, or a mother
with a drunken son, are as near the realiz- not sick, but their parents are keep’infi‘ihem
stion ofhell as can be reached in this world,
0 oppose it everywhere as the worst enemy
of their sex.

want of system, to have men at the head of

cheaper and more satisfactorily, if all the
districts were united. Time and monev are
always saved by systemizing. ‘In nio'n we
could have system. No one endow tell
what branches can be legally langbt in our

branches? Can the languages 'bs tang t in
our common schools as they are now III-
aged? As no one can answer those ques-
nons, school affairs are allowed to drift
along any way, and in several of our schools
the teacher spends considerable- of his time
m hearing one or two' scholars mile in
book-keeping or philosophy, or in some
other of the higher branches, which some
scholar may fancy he on ht to slnd . The
town cannot afford to a low its sols to

gorng to 'pay for running the schools as I
suppose it is. Under this claim, and with
the expectation that the town will pa the

it would not be necessary for the town to
employ as many male teachers as at present,
by two or three, and in this alone the town
would save $1200 a year.- Dislrict bound-
arics would be substantially obliterated.
Children could ordinarily attend school
where it would be most convenient for then
to do so. Many would have to go much
less distance than they now do. And what
an incentive children would have, particu-
larly in all the smaller districts, to reach a
point where they could enter the higher
schools in town. This‘ of itself would make
our schools in the outlying districts much
better than they are at present.

No district in this town enumerated last
January less than twenty-four children bd-
tween the ages of four and sixteen years,
and hence by the act of the last Legislature,
it will be necessary for the town to appro-
priate for the support of schools sufficient to
pay the expenses, asabovc stated, for at :
least thirty weeks. Every school district in -
town but three, as i am informed, has already _
contracted to have its school taughtlhs ordi-
nary number of weeks,which is fort at least,
and in some districts forty-four. A the dis-
tricts of course expect to keep up their
schools the same number of weeks’ as they
have heretofore. It will therefore be neces-
sary, according to the above figures, for each
of them to lay a district tax for the purpose
of raising money‘lo pay their ordinary
school expenses unless the town appropriates
considerable larger amount thanit did last
year. ‘But as the cost of their schools in
some of the districts, as above estimated, .
appears to be “unnecessary” and “extrava-
gant," it is not recommended that the town
appropriate money enough to pay all their
expenses. It is recommended, however,
that the town appropriate, the sum of $20,-
000, for school pnrposcs,_provided the town
decides to pay the reasonable and proper ex-
penses of our schools for the year in accord-
ance with the foregoing estimates.

A liquor-dealer of Stonington, has come
to grief, having been convicted of, selling
adultcrated liquors, and sentenced 'to pays

It was shown upon the trial that thel‘article
sold by defendant as port wine contained
forty-five grains to the gallon ofo‘xide of lead
and that the whisky kept by him for sale
contained fifty-seven grains of lead to the
gallon. Judge Seymo'urfin pronouncing sen-
tence, gave notice that should other cases of
like nature come before him, the punishment
imposed would be much more severe. The
lratfic in adulterated liquors is carried on to
an alarming extent in all parts of the coun-
try, and there should be everywherelhe same
legal prohihilions as prevails in Connecticut.
Punishment should also be provided for the
dealers in other articles and beverage which
enter largrly into daily consumption, and
