The light­ ning flashed oc­ casionally, 'and the deep thun­ der rolled in every direction. Under the most favorable oir* c n m s t a n c e s , such a night would not be c o n s i d e r e d pleasant, h u t when ,you are tired and hun­ gry* find alone in ...*. country you don’t know milch about, I don’t think any one ban’imagine anything more unpleasant. My horse stopped and in vain 1 used my whip; net another step, woind he move, soJ was forced to dismount and lead. But you .may judge of my sur­ prise when I reached'his head to find thathew as nearly touching a wall. I .stretched outtny hand, and, to my great ,joy, found it wap a log house. ' Drawing the :bridle over my arm, I led my horse rbfud the building, feel­ ing carefully so as hot to miss the door. 1pfBjtyti down one side and turned the comer, where to my delight I perceived, a light shining from a window. Without panting a moment to con­ sider, I hastened to the door, which was near the window, and knocked loudly. I had no t long to wait. The door opened .slowly and a.tall man stood before me. “What do you jrant?" he inquired. '“Shelter, of coarse," I replied. " I am wet to the sldn." . , “There’s a bairn fit the efld of the house," he observed, oalmly.* “Yon had better go and put your horse up, and then come in," As I saw there was no help for it, I led my home to the barn, made him as .comfortable aa I could, and then en­ tered the house. I found mySelf in a small, square room, dimly lighted. My host sat near an old stove in which a Are burned “ w h a t » o * o t r w a u x T ’ tiably, and tiw only otiwfl oesupmit o f ftemomvt*** lmid-fratamd woman. “I s’poo* yon wan* «< wm itid the man.

My money was to a belt'around my waist; and witbout undresaing I threw myself upon the hsil and was soon atiee|t ‘ How long.I slept I do not know, but a t length 1 awoke and heard the hum of voices In the room below. I arose and crawled on my hands aqd. knees to where the light shone up through a narrow crack to the floor. Applying my eyes to. the crevice I saw my ho it and hodtess steading dlreotir beneath me. They were evidently engaged in earnest conversation. “I don’t fancy such a job aa this t o ­ night,’’ said the man. "Nor I, either," returned the woman,. “but it musthe done. He has got money; it will pay.’’ “So you thought last week when the old man stopped here, and after all we killed the critter for nothing." “I ’m right this time," mid the woman, firmly. “The job must ba done between nov ■ and morning, and the sooner it’s dona the'better.” And then the precious pair turned and left the room. I rose to my feet and stood for a mo­ ment almost stupefied,' when' a ray of hope dawned upon mo. I hod noticed a small window, aa the man hod showed me my bed, hu t It was so dark now thflt I could not see i t “There may .yet bo a chance of es­ cape,” I thought. Softly I crossed the chamber, and by the sense of feeling found the window. It was but the work of a few minutes, though every instant seemed an age to me, td remove the sash from its resting place. Ah! never did the air of Heaveu seem so sweet as then. „ How far I was from the ground, was the next question to be considered. I put forth my hand aimlessly, and to my surprise and grati­ fication it rested upon the roof of a shed, which seemed to slope off towards the ground. This,was unexpected good luck, and in a. few moments I was out upon the roof to the storm. 1 cautious­ ly felt my way down to the eaves, which I found to be within a few feet of the ground, and to less time than it takes to write it I was upon the earth. I t was very •dark, but a t . length I found the road, along which I sped as fast as it was possible for a man fleeing for his life tq go. An hotir or more passed.’' Evidently I Was not pursued, and,as the rain hod ceased to fall, I decided to wait for the morning. i t came a t last, and, cold a ,.1hungry, I hurried along’until I reached a small village 'where I procured some break­ fast and told my story to the proper authorities, The officers looked rather incredulous, I thought, but they went “ HOW DO TOO DO, PKACOfi?” book With me to the log house. Tho old man met us at the door. “How do you do, Deacon Turner?” said one of the officers, cordially. Then turning to me, he lidded: “You have made a mistake, sir. This man. and his wife are well known and highly respected.” “There can be no mistake,” I replied, indignantly. “1 heard /them planning to murder me.” 1 Th» old man was laughing heartily. “Hleto your soul, sir,” he exclaimed. “My wife wanted me to kill a chicken, and I didn’t like the idea, because it was the lsst one we had; bat I killed ft.” “Yes, add I cooked it this morning before we found that you had gone,” added the woman, making her appear­ ance. ■ ■ ^ . * I did not know what to say, and so remained silent.

The ether day we set forth the method of controlling liquor-selling to Sweden which is called the Gothenburg system. I t has obvious and great merit, hut the Norwegian system, which differs from the Swedish to one' important particu­ lar, is the one which comes nearer to being an ideal plan for regulating the traffic to intoxicating liquors. The municipal council in Norwegian towns, either alone or to ’the association of the magistracy, is the licensing authority; amrdetermtoes the number of licenses required and the time to which they should extend. No single person can hold more than one license, and socie­ ties which bind themselves to apply the possible profit of tbeir trading to aid of objects of general public benefit and utility, and whose authority is con­ firmed by the municipal council, under the royal seal, may hold one or several, or all the licenses issued to a given lo­ cality. The point in the Norwegian system is that the society must spend the surplus profits of its business upon voluntary objects of general public ben-- eflt and utility, while the Swedish sys­ tem turns the surplus profits into the local treasury, to be used in reducing the rates, so that they are a direct in­ ducement to encourage drinking. The Norwegian system is as effective as the other to the control ot the sales of liq­ uor, b u t. it uses its profits for a hotter purpose. Norway to 1876 consumed 2,619,530 gallons ot spirits,' and this amount was redqced to 1887 to 1,180,440 gallons. The working of tho system by which this lea|flied consumption of liquors has bmnreached is best illustrated to the large seaport town of Bergen. I t has a population of 50,000, and when the new law went into operation fourteen years ago it had fourteen bars with a popula­ tion of 40,000, while under the new sys­ tem, with a population a t the present time of 10,000more, it has only thirteen: I t had a t first to contend'with perpetual licenses granted 'by the town: and has used part of its surplus profits to buy up these licenses as they have come into the market so that it' might have the regulation of the liquor traffic entirely in its own bands. The result of the operation of the system to fourteen years has been notable, first to the re­ duction of the amount of spirits con­ sumed, and to a considerable but not equal increase to the consumption of Wine and ale. The amount of drams sold has fallen from 2.3 quarts per head of the whole population to 1887 to 1.8 quarts to 1880. In the second place, though the wine and ale-houses have done more business, the fUTests and summonses for drnnkenneaa and simi­ lar offenses, which' were 1,188 to 1876, were only 730 to 1880, and tha charges of the illegal sale of spirits fell from 15 to 5, The third jtsm Is an instructive comment upon the value of the system to nipping habits of drinking to the bud. The Statistics are that the applications far spirits from persons of tender age, or in an inebriated condition, fell from 13,812 in a single quarter of 1877 to 13,810 to the whole of 1880. A word is important aa to the method of keeping the bars and tha nae of tha surplus profits for objects of public utility. The bars- were placed to the most frequented streets, and tha bar- keauers were men of character and in­ tegrity, whose right to office defended upon their prevention of excess in drinking. They were paid fixed sala­ ries, and had no interest to the amount of sties. The bar-room* were clean, and the attendants were males, dreseed to uniform and conrteoua to their cus­ tomers; bnt there were no seats, no corners for loitering, and no staying on the premises after the liquor bad been consumed. The bartender was made a judge of how much drink a man was able to carry away without in­ toxication, and children were not al­ lowed to enter the premise*. The bars nrere opened on every working day from 8 a. m. until 8 p. m., with the exception of an hour and a half a t noon, cloned atftve p. m. on Saturdays and on the day before holy festivals, and not opened a t all on holidays or Sundays The results In public utility are stated' to have been the improve­ ment of the public parks, the museums, tha theaters, the institutions for nodal u n i industrial relief, and the placing of all the Temperance aodeties to Bergen to a condition where they could do their Work to the beat advantage. I tia a a an object teuton to titeluttd* ^tingof a very difBcalt problem th a t this statement of tho principles and operation of the Norwegian system b u importance for ns. I t shows how, with a comparatively fixed population, it la possible to deal through the state with an evil which is found to be more oor* rupting than any other, and to be close­ ly connected with criminal conditions. Negatively the city of Bergen, though * seaport community, has illustrated, during Che years that this system has been enforced, the natural* thrift o t people who are relieved of the worse forms of Intempcranoe, To-day ex* trome destitution among its citizens to almost unknown, and the social.condi­ tion of the people is vastly improved from what i t was fourteen years ago.-* Boston Herald: DRINKERS OF ETHER. They Can G*t Tipsy Six Time* In Twenty* Fonr Hours, More than two tons of ether are car* ried away every year on the railways to one district of the North of Ireland. The headquarters of ether drinking la Draperstown. A population of 100,000 persons is more or less etheromaniao. On market and fair days, wherever there is a crowd, the atmosphere reeks with fumes of ether. Dr. Herr says that the. smell is overpowering, nauseat* tog and loathsome. Persons of both sexes and of all ages have become slaves to.this degrading and intractable dis­ ease. .Women drink as much as men. One groat advantage of ether from the point of view of the etheromanio is this: You can get drunk and get sober again so much more rapidly. Th* drinker of ether esn beooxoe Intoxicated and regain sobriety before tha drinker of al­ cohol has really become proporly Intoxicated. I have known an alcohpllst get thoroughly drank twice In twenty-four hours, though this rarely happens, hut the educated ctharlst can, at a pinch, get drunk and sober again six .times In the same space of time. I have seen a man sober as a judge at noon, offensively drunk oa ether tn twenty-five minutes, and as sober aa before by a quarter past one o’clock. The phases ot an ether outbreak oan all be exhib­ ited In even less time.. The rapidity with whlob the phenomena pass before.the vision lp *ruly astounding. Tho Inexperienced cuu be drunk and Bober again before be has any Idea of being drunk. At first it seems to produce very little serious effect, but if persisted to ift brings on premature old ago and many disorders. Chronic and distressing in­ flammation of the stomach, impairment of the digestive functions, trembling, melancholy and suspicions, llvidity, coldness, and intermittent poise, with persistent wasting, have not infrequent* ly been the penalties paid by the ex ­ cessive ether-taker. Dr.‘ Kerr says ho has seen an etheromanio a t forty-one a weflzened, bent, decrepit old man* There have already been nearly a doze* fatal cases, perhaps more. The.most terrible influence of ether indulgence is, however, on the mortis. The ether in­ ebriate! with morbid and ever-growing cr&vihjif for larger doses of the deadly drug, which he hates bnt most devour^ •inks into a loathsomeness of falsehood* deceit and eunning. You can get drank with ether to t four-pence, but when yon are a seasoned vessel it costs yon ss much os a shilling. Dr. Kerr proposes that naphtha should bo added to ether as it is now added to methylated spirits from which the ether Is extracted. He would abolish the re­ tail trade to ether and oonfine the s tia to druggists, who would be compelled to register the name and address of th* purchaser, snd tha object for whichih* ether is applied. In every other way he would do his utmost to stamp out the nefarious and pestiferous traffic.—* New Review. . —^ GATHERED OF LATE.
