Mr. Editor:—Being at leisure this afternoon I thought perhaps J v'ould employ it in writing to yjost estinmblo paper, believ ing that your readers would like to hear from the Central city.

By Liutuana Moui/ton, Wliere do you s’pose 1880 is? Where do you tliink it lias pone? These questions puzzles me sorely, T’ve thought of it night nndmorn; And very often I’ve wondered, Little folks wonder, you see, If eighteen hundred and eighty that’s gone, Would ever come back to me. So to-day I asked my tencher, Where the dear old yearoould bo, For I thought slic’d sure explain All about such tilings to me; But she only shook her head, saying, “Thats a query very broad:” query very broad;” Then she sadly smiled and answered, “Eighteen-eighty’s gone to God." Gone to God] Then of course it can Nevermore conic hack again; How I wish I’d been more careful, And not sent God so much pain| Oli, there are many heedless words Wicked thoughts and unkind deeds That the Lord will find against me, JFlieu eightecn-ciglity he roads, And now let each one of ps try, And make their new year so glad, That when it shall go back to God, The record won’t make him sad. For it may be when oighty-ono Shall have down with its record true, It may bo. when it goes to God’s throno, That wo shall have gone there, too. WHAT IS WHISKEY.

State Legislatures tire passing laws to check it. Congress is asked to prohibit the manufacture of intox icating fluids in tho United Sta tes, and churches arc vigorously moving to break lip drinking among (their members. King Aleohol may prepare for some sharp work. These nro all good moves, with wise modifications, but our faith is strongest in the work of tho churches. If these great powers of influencing the minds and hearts of the masses of the people should take hold of the subject and light it only as chur ches can light it, by attacking it in every household, and convin cing the judgement and appealing to the feelings of individuals, then some good results may be looked for. The inefficiency of legislative enactments is too well known .when the sympathies and habits of those relied on to execute them are in in active accord with offenders. Churches, however, work different ly They approach the question with admonition and with per-- suasion, and not with laws and punishment. They give aid, comtort and strcnglit to the weak and fortify the resolution of the strong.—Each individual is an intereRing factor in their progress, and the weakest is the most inter esting.
