TEMPERANCE VOTING.

There was indeed a motley group at the bal
lot box, and some of the voters made strange
and singular remarks. One man swore he
would vote for liberty-he was SO strong re-
publican he would not wear crown in his
hat Another, with an oath on his lip, said
there was nothing like moral suasion.. An
other was such friend Of freedom he allowed
his elbows to get out Of his coat. On the other
hand, lha patriots, philanthropists, and Chris
tians, offered some excellent remarks-"I vote
that the man with red eyes and long beard,
and torn coat, may be able to purchase suit
of clothes," said one--'T vote that his wife
have bread to eat, and wood to burn, and decent
apparel TO wear" observed another----"'l vote
that our jails, mad houses, hospitals, poor
houses and penifentaries may have no in
mates," SAID third--sI VOTE" said man Of
the opposite party, whose face was like half
broiled steak, with shoe brush at one end, 81
vote that we may have little now and then,"
and so do j." said another, whose nose was
like flaming volcano, while the pimples on
his face looked like erupiions of the cratr-
"that broken hearts may be healed and broken
fortunes repaired" said benevolent well dress
ed person--"I vote against the burdensonne
taxation imposed on us by lntemperance, !"
said another. In this way most of the day was
spent--Con. Wash. a

ECONOMY.

We have man in this city worth about
three thousand dollars, who gives his child rem
each penny to go to bed without their sup
pers, and when they are asleep, he takes the
coPpers away from them again.
He seldom has meat for dinner, as may be
supposed--but when such happens to be the
case, the children are seen dancing on the side
walk. aud singing in great loy--'Aha, aha |

A DESERVED IlEBUKE.

We take the following from the Baltimore
Saturday Visiter. The incident was related in
the course Of an address by Selby Parker, OF
Washington city, delivered alta recent public
meeting OF the Washington Temperance So
ciety at Baltimore st4 4t8
"Mr. Parker alluded to the intenperance
practised in Congress ss-said that there are two
groggeries in adjoining apartments to the Hall
Of Representatives, where the Hon. Members
resort, and take their daily potations, and to
this he attributed all the quarrels that take
place in that body. He Of course, did not in
clude all the members in the guilt for there are
some honorable exceptions. He related one
interesting case, in point. The President of
the United States invited number Of gentle.
men 10 dine with him, one day during the late
session, among whom was the Hon. Lewis G.
Levin Of Philadelphia. The wine bottles were
lplen.ifully set around, the table. The Presi-
Z dent sent the waiter 10 Mr.. Levin requesting
{. the privilege to drink his health in glass of
wine Mr.. l.. paused an instant, and pushing
Mc WIuC SAooS ouu WHtC AOAs htAhS iAC uCAASu
a glass of water, arose and said: "Mr. Presi-
dent, you request to drink my health in glass
of that which Is neither calculated to
promote your nor my health, but which has
destroyed that OF thousands. Permit me, sir,
to drink yours in a glass Of pure water, the
beverage which God has SO plentitully sup
piled for our use." The President thus pub
licly and effectually rebuked, put down his
wine, took up a glass Of water, and drank
Mr.. L.'s health also in the pure beverage"
1--WE add to the above, that the whole of the
members are in some sort to blame, because they
do not make a move 10 put il away. When the
Hon. Mr.. Briggs was there, he had the moral
courage to introduce and press tho subject, and
carried il in the House, but the Honorable Sem
ators could never be brought to act. We called
their attention to it last winter. If we live, we
will be al them again, and they win find us trou-
blesome customers il they refuse to do right We
shall never let them rest until they put the stuff
from the Capitol Z"

THE WIFE, TO A DRUNKEN HUS-
BAND. .a#y "a
BY R. NJ. FoUsT.

Thou'rt fallen from high ambitious goal
And changed Alas my soHowing soul; .
No more 10 me the fond embrace
Which from the heart false fears would chase
No more the spirit winning smile,
Which did my first fond love beguile.R
Thy praises listened TO so oft, .#
Come never more, like music soft, .#
In welcome strains, and cadence sweet,
That made il JOY with thee TO meet.
Dark now is life; a lonely night
Beshrouds the home thou once made bright
Twas said that could ne'er love as thou
True. or no change had marked thee now.
Pve loved thee, man, as wife should love,
Who hopes for smiles from Heaven above.
What though made no cheerful oath,
Nor vows, superior to them both,
Pve loved, beyond mere words control.
Deep in the mourning depths Of soul
ask not why thy love should tame.
Nor why leave virtues path for shame;
Enough for me my presence sighted
That all my fondesl hopes are blighted.
Forgive me, that thus complain,
My breaking heart will not again
E'en sigh if't pain thee, husband dear
Beside thee, for thee, ever near,
I'll watch: Thy guardian, lover, wife,
Win know no other joy through life
But this! = Yet burning tears will flow,
That thou once noble. now art low
Would that fond mem'ry might forget,
The happy days when first we met

We once heard an old fellow, famous all over
the country for his tough yarns, tell the fol-
lowing. He was telling what heavy wheat
he had seen in the State of New York:
"My father" said he, "once had field Of
wheat, the heads of which were so close to-
gether that the wild turkies, when they came
to eat il. could walk round on the top fit any
whrere."
We suggested that the turkies must have
been small ones.
"No slr!' continued he-'fhey were very
large ones. shot one of them one Cay, and
when ] took hold Of his legs to carry him, his
head dragged in the snow behind me %

churches had their own ways, oi dong things;
but we did not know before that their preach
