The destruction of confiscated liquor
by the police is provided for by an
amendment to the Crooks Act. Liquor
o its money, and in these days of char-
ities and benevolent institutions, money
ought not to be thrown away. The
liquor that has been confiscated msynot
be very good; but it does seem like wil-
ful waste to empty it into the street;
and wilful waste, they soy, makes woeful
want. The worst use you an put a man
to is to hang him; the worst use you can
put liquor to is, probably to drink it.
But if all the liquor that is confiscated
were sold and the money handed eyer to
the charitable institatioi a it would sure-
ly boa mors s.m.ible way et carrying olst

the destruction of the liquor is upon
those who manufacture it.-4Telegram.

There ere not many of our readers
who were not more or less acquainted
with Mr. Cherie. Soobie, 4 this town,
and all will &like regret to hear of his
dome., which sad event took plsoe at
his residence on Monday evening last,
Mr. Stobie was an unusually smart,
alive man, whose years seemed to sit
lightly upon him, but evidences of frailty
and natural decay were becoming quite
manifest during the last two years. His
friends could not fail to notice the
change, although�he was always cheer-
ful as usual. He attended church on the
Sabbath before last, but he had not been
feeling so well as usual for some days
previously. On his return from church
he was w much fatigued that he had to
take to bed, and from that time continu-
ed growing worse until Monday night,
when he peacefully passed away. A very
severe attack of inflammation of the
lungs was the cause of his death, and
from the very first his medical attend-
ant had no hope of kis recovery. Mr.
Soobis was in his seventy-seventh year.
He was a native of Perthshire, Scotland.
He came to this country in the year of
1842, and settled in Toronto, when be
worked for a year at his trade u a mill-
wright and engineer. He also worked
int, Brantford and several other
places until the year 1860, when he ams
to the townahipof Stanley in this county,
and erected a grist and saw mill on the
Parr line, near the village of Varna.
These mills he continued to work until
about twelve years ago, when he retired
from alive business, and came to live in
Seaforth. He leaves behind his aged
partner and twu sons and three daugh-
ters, all comfortably settled in life. Elis
youngest daughter is Mrs. John McAI-
ister, of the township of Hay; his eldest
son William is a resident of Ripley, in
the county of Bruce, and John, his
youngest son, is proprietor of the Star
Salt Works in Seaforth and Goderich.
Int his younger days he was considerable
of a sportsman and used to take great
delight in fishing and hunting. liven in
later years he was accustomed to spend
several weeks each summer scouring the
various trout streams in the county, and
nothing delighted him more than to cap-
ture a large speckled trout, and there
were not many good trout holes .in any
of the surrounding streams that were
not known to Mr. Scobie. He was also
oonsiderable of a musician, and was a
beautiful player on the flute, and was
wont in olden times to enliven the pro-
ceedings at the social gatheringe in his
neighborhood by his sweet strains on
that instrument. In his younger days
he was an active and energetic politician,
and was a valued member of the Liberal
party. He was ever a cheerful, genial,
whole souled man, and his many virtues
and eminent sccial qualities will long be
eherished in affectionate remembrance
by a host of warm personal friends.
A mother of a family was married to a
skeptic. He made a 'est of reli'gton in
the presence of his children. Tel she
brought them all up to reverence God
and to obeyhis commandoes'... She
was asked ow she did this against the
father. Her answer shows how the con-
science may be trained to respond to
the plain teachings of the Bibk. She
said: "Beaune to the eutberity of •

Careless, unreasoning, uninveetigst-
ins, nndescriminate giving by an almoner
or society, is not charity—it is mere im-
pulse. Charity is a principal, and seeks
not only the relief of the individual, but
the welfare of society. There should be
the utmost discrimination, which con-
sists neither in wholesale pity and laviah
giving, nor in wholesale condemnation
and refusal to give; but in the exercise
of a duty, under the instruction of ex-
perience, and under the inspiration of a
sincere love fur God and man. We be-
lieve that the moat beneficent charity to
the destitute poor is to find and secure
work for them, and help them to be
self-supporting; that in the dispensation
of public charities nothing should be
given as simple alms where another way
of assisting can be practiced consistent-
ly with the dictates of humanity and
Christian duty; that the able-bodied,
habitual, and professional beggars,
whether located in our midst or tramp-
ing through the country, should receive
nothing which they de not earn; that
the needy should be discouraged from
crowding into the city; and that, so far
as possible, those applying fur assistance
should be provided with work in the
country, and, as between the city and
the onuntry, always in the country, and
that simple alms should be given in a
single instance only, after full and ex-
haustive investigation, and continuously
only upon repeated observation and in
quiry.

The negro Bishop of Hayti, Theodore
Heley, a native of the United States,
and consecrated in Grace church, New
York city, who during the recent gather-
ing of the Anglican church in London,
was much honored by all his brethren,
and who, at the invitation of Dean Stan-
ley, preached in Westminster Abbey on
St. James' day; closed his address with
the following eloquent words and earnest
prayer:
"And now, on the shores of old Eng:

neath the vaulted roof of this monu -
mental pile, redolent with the piety of
by -gone generations during the same
ages; in the presence of the
"Storied urn and animated bust,"
that hold the sacred ashes and comme-
morate the buried grandeur of so ninny
illustrious personagea—I , catch a fresh
inspiration and new impulse of the
divine missionary spirit of common
Christianity; and hese in the presence of

at my baptism, and as I lift up my voice
for the Jest, and perhaps the only time

dedioate myself anew to the work of
God, of the Gospel of Christ, and of the
salvation of my fellowmen in the far dis-
tant isle of the Oaribean4 Sea that hes
became the &boon field of my gospel
labors.
