Prospects NOrthWards.

Throughout the west there is Just now
a comparative lull on the temperance
question. In towns it is too hot to 90
to crowded meetings; and in the coun-
try, farmers are busy looking after sum-
mer affairs, andpreparing for harvest and
fall-planing. But in every circle Of con-
versationists, temperance is one OF the
topics and the Maine-Law will continue
to be discussed, though public addresses
are notfrequent for a season. Mainly
The northern counties of the State are
light, and will vote right on the ques-
tion. The writer recently spent two
weeks on the Reserve, and had an op.
portunity to learn somewhat Of the tone
of the public mind. The result of the
fall election will show trucking politi-
clans, thatsthere is deeper determine
ton that Ohio shall have a prohibitory
law, than the mass of them have any
conviction Of. The people say, the prin-
ciple that liquor should not be sold as a
beverage, is right. 1t is but a question
Of time; some day we will have
thoroughly prohibitory laws. The senti.
ment that the way to speed on this good
time, is by selecting for, and sending
good men. to the places where laws are
made, and then securing good men to
execute them, every day gains ground

adroitness, must soon give practical heed

We havereceiyed a good many or

the past week; and expect very large
accession during the next three weeks.
The prospect is very fattering for a
general circulation of the Organ dur
ing the campaign. Our friends are
beginning to see the utility of support
ing their press more literally. We
hold ourselves in readiness to fill any
order, however large. Send in your
orders; now is the time to do effective
service. Hf1if l3 has eoa@.lg
We are also receiving orders for the
Camprign Tract. It is one ofthe best
things ever written, and one hundred
and fifty thousand copies should be Cir
culated at once. .f'a.24s @2@4.gl
We give notice to our brethren gem
orally, that we will have about twenty
thousand of these Tracts for sale at
the State Convention, and all who in
tend to purchase, will have an ample
opportunity Of doing 50. We will
also have a large number Of the Maine
Law Tracts on hand at the same time
and place. We hope such Of our
friends as live off the express routes,
will avail themselves Of this orportu.

The " Boys" paper is becoming

its circulation is rapidly increasing,

behalf of temperance--and, as we
heard his speech at Christie Chapel,
last week, we will vouchsafe for his
ability. He will be at the Grand

Thepeople of Ann Arbor are friend

never wanting in those little acts of
courtesy, SO grateful to the traveller

Ann Arbor is a city, containing be-
tween five and six thousand inhabi-
tants. Its situation is high, and I am
informed that its health is excellent.
The streets are wide and clean, and
the sidewalks are ornamented with
fine shade trees. Houses of eastern
comfort and splendor, have been erect
ed here and one could scarcely find
a more delightful home than Ann Ar
Dor affords. The manner in which it
obtained its name is interesting, and /
will tell you in few words. Thirty
years ago, two travellers, with their
wives and children, stopped on the
spot where Ann Arbor now stands;
and concluded to remain there for the
night. The weather was hot and sui
try; angry clouds swept along the
sky, and threatened rain, sudden and
severe. Not a house was visible, and
in this emergency, the two men were
compelled to do something to protect
their families from the peltings of the.
pitiless storm, Accordingly, they
erected a frail structure with the limbs
of trees; over the top of which they
spread a fewpieCes Of white canvass,
thus making a handsome little Gr6Or )
and as their good wives were both
called Ann, their husbands appropri-
ately named their little retreat Ann
Arbor. Thirty years have since roll
ed by, and the city of Ann Arbor
now marks the spot, where the wear
led travellers sought safety and re-
i pose. -m .--

Passing a neat little martin-box Of a
house last evening, we happened to see d
man waiting at the door for admittauce.
At the instant a green window blind

the gas light we caught glimpse Of u
pair Of brilliant eyes, and futter Of
something white, and bird.toned voice

"Ifs me-" was the brief response
The eyes and the futter disappeared from
the window, like stars in cloud, and we
almost fancied. as we passed on, We could
hear the pattering Of two little feet upon
the stairs, winged with welcome.

THE SOCIETY OF LADIES.

The following pertinent remarks occurred
al the close OF an article on the dangers
of college Life" from the pen Of New
York clergyman, which appeared III thr
New York Times:
1.-The society of ladies has done much
for me all my life long; aud it was the
Salutary, soltening influence OF such as
sociations that, with Gods blessing. re-
strained me from many an excess into
which | might otherwise have been led
while receiving my education. 1t is d
bad 81 n when young man has no relish
Tor such company. Whatever be mans
station in life. whether higher or lower.
public, or private, he will become a better
man. and escape many disaster. if he
will listen, in due season. 10 the voice oil
the intelligent and refined amo gihe other
sex. Not only do they generally excel
US in their nice perception OF The ProprIe-
lies of life. and in their tender sense Of

equally before US in their instructive Ia
cllity Of toreseeing evil before it is upon
us. and Of wisely discerning the charsc'
ter and motives Of men.
