WHOLESALE GROCERS. In an arliclo on the fashion# for Jane, Demo rest's Monthly thus expresses its opinion on the attempt to revive the enormity called panniers':Our streets are thronged with moderate drinkers and hard drinkers—men whose habits produce a living death in their families* and will soon involve them in all the infamy olconfirmed drunkenness, but who cares 1 This may appear a needless question as from the nature ofthe case all must care, rather, do any care? Certainly not, if acts are-allowed to speak the public mind. These men buy their liquors at licensed drinkeriea, and these drinkeries the people will not cotoseot te shut up. What stronger proof cau there be that nobotly cares for the drunkard or the drinker than the fact that the places which supply him with drink exist by public Authority? If stealing were protected by law —if bousea for the storage of stulen goods were croc ted, and men were licensed to deal in stolen articles, would it not be clear that society would lie in favor of stealing? It Is too clear for argument that the popular voice is for drunkenness, horrible and damaging as it is. But there are a few who by profession are, or at least ought to be, op|Dosed to intemperance. Christians are pledged to abstinence. let this pledge, though effecttip.l for themselves, too often awakens no concern for the inebriate. The drunkard and the drunkard maker are left to their own ways, and the Christian, so called, Galleo of old, cares for none of these things. Such is the seeming. Were it otherwise, we should find Christians not only ready but anx ious to assist in putting down a traffic which is the prolific cause of alt the drinikngand drunkenness in the land. Neither votes nor money will they give to this work. From worldlings, with rare exceptions we expect nothing better; hot it is shocking that a class from God and mar. held responsible for their brother'* welfare, should so betray their trust. Such recreancy makes us ashamed of the Christian name, and we can well imagine the character of thoae tfD whom the Saviour said. "Publicans and harlots shall enter the kingdom of heaven before you." '.'Depart from me ye workers of iniquity, I know ye not." These were very religious,but none the better fer their religion. The saying of "Lord, Lerd," will be found in the end not to have done much good, neither will the giving of thousands to the church, while the drunkard is left to go down UD hell. God is asking of each believer, "where is thy brother." n will not avail to say we are not keeper, snd therefore we left him in ihe clutches of the rumseller.—Independent. STAIIK, pEO. W.

Butler house, PITTS TON, PA A Mouse is mis Paktrt.—When I used to get out of temper, or naughty in any way, if grandfather wero near he would call to me: Gay as the'nnfortunate Quecti was, and fond of dress, while her sunshine lasted it was only ber beauty and grace that could ever have made panniers pass muster, or be considored to impart beauty and clegance to the female form.—- A woman's form is beautiful in itself, and no dress that we have had in years was so calculated to display it to advantage, and impart at once an beirof dignity1 and grace, as the gored and trained dress of last season. There is no objection to tlie slight puffing up of the skirt under sashes, or bands, or in order to raise a trained dress from the ground, or to give an heir of novelty and elegance to the fuilness ol a trained skirt, but we sincerely hope that American ladies will have moro independence than to wear hooped skirts, barricaded round with oval springs bent over, so as to form the support to huge panniers, which give the appearance of a dreadful bump upon the hips as well at at the back. It is quite time that American ladies seriously took this matter in band snd endeavored to create a public opinion that would not allow the blind following of ultra absurdities In foreign fashions.

Before he is licensed ho mnst be examined bofore a board constituted for that purpose, in his knowledge of the laws and regulations, and in sharpening his knife, which must bo kept free from the slightest notch or roughness of edge. The ox is kbua killed : The hind legs are tied; two men hold the head; the xhocket draws his knife forward across the throat and withdraw* it; the blood flows freely, and t'ue. animal is dead, greateare is taken to prevent tbe animal from seeing the weapon beforehand, and the Rabbi is of the opinion that death by the peculiar knife used is instantaneous. He denies that there is any dislocation or torture by suspension, and does not believe that there is any valid reason on tho ground of humanity for rcndoTing the animal insensible by stunning.

A Mako.mc Biblical Legend.—The following is said to be the explanation of the text; " Tho stone which the builders refused, the samo is become the headstone of the corner." It is said that when Solomon's Temple was building, all the stones were brought from the quarry, ready cut and fashioned, and there wete marked on all the blocks the places where they were to be put. Among the stones was a curious one; it seemed of no desirable shape, it appeared unfit for agy portion of the building. They tried it at this wall, but it would not fit; they tried it at another, but it could not be accommodated ; so, vexed and angry, they threw it away.— The Temple was so many years building that the atone became covered with moss, and grass grew around it Everybody passing by laughed at the stone; they said Solomen was' wise, and doubtless all the other stones were right; but-as for that biock, they might as well send it back to the quarry, for tbey were quite sure it was meant for nothing. Tear after year rolled on, and the poor stona was still despised; the builders constantly refused it. The eventful day came when the Temple was to be finished and opened, and the multitude was assembled to see the grand sight. The builders said "Where is the top stone? Where is the pinnacle 1" Tbay little thought where the crowning marble was, until some one said, "Perhaps that stone which the builders refused is meant to be the top stone." They then took it, and hoisted it to the top of the house; and as it reached the summit they found it well adapted to the place. Loud hosannahs made the welkin ring, as the stone which the builders tefused thus became the headstone of the corner. /CARRIAGE AND WAGON MAK\J ING, AND O'Co.nxell.—A story U told of a victory achieved oVer Daniel O'Connell by a witness whom he was cross-examining. It was after he had won his celebrated sobriquet of "big beggarman." The witness was for the crown, in a case of riot committed by a mob of beggars, and he represented the affair as very serious. "Pooh, pooh! Now just tolll the court how many there were," said O'Connell. "Indeed, I never stopped to count them, your honor; but there was a whole tribe of them !" "A whole tribe of them ? Will ye tell us to what tribe they belonged?" "Indeed, your honor, that's more than I can do at all, for surrfl have never beard ; butl think it must have been thetribe ef Dan!"

We have often felt oar temper rise to see how carelessly their Jitttle plans are thwarted by older persons, when a little trouble on their part would ha,ve given a child pleasnre, the memory of which would last a life time. Lastly, don't think a child a hopeless case because it betrays some very bad habits. We have known children that seemed to have been born thieves and liars, so early did they display those undesirable traits, yet we have lived to see these children become noble men and women, and ornaments loDsociety. We must confess they had wise affectionate parents.
