was represented BY 1000 delegates,
Senator Wilson made the following
remarks, as reported BY the New York
Tribune:
1.-The Hon. Henry Wilson was thea
introduced, and received With great
enthusiasm. He declared he did nos

granting lisense to selling liquor. but
it .iiled him with horror. The idea
that slen were TO be authorized by

,i.nenss Of the people, but be knew the
powers OF wealth, Of the appetite OF
men wairing Tor something to turn up,
and this combination We have to
meet. No State would suffer 30 much
from the legalized sale Of liquor ~
this State. The business men Of the
State have . mighty business interest
that overshatlows vastly the liquor In.
terest. While $4,000, 600 are inyolv-
ed in the liquor traffic, more than .
thousand millions are interested in
sustaining prohibition, or against the
free sale Of liquor. The license sys-
tenn will bring burden and . crime

QUARRE RELlNO.

If anything 10 the world makes .
man feel badly, except pinching his
fingers in the crack of q door, it is an-
questionably . quarrel No man never
fails to think less Of himself after than
before. It degrades him in the eyes
Of others, and. what u worse blunts
his own sensibilities on the enc hand.
and increases the power of ofpassioaate
irritability on the other. The truth y,
the more quietly and peaceabiy ws
get on, the better for our neighbors.
In nine cases out of ten the better
course is If man defrands you, cease
to deal with him ifhe u abusive; quit
his company; and if he slasders yoa
take care to live so that nobody vii
believe him, No matter Who he Is, OF
how he misuses you. the wisest .ay u

better than this cool, calm and quiet
way Of dealing with the .rong' we

SUNNY DAYS IN WINTER.

eu,nmer IL glorious reason,
Warm, and bright, and pleasant;
But the past Is not = reason

So, while health can climb the mountain,
And the log lights up the hall,
There are sunny days in winter, after ell!
Spring, no doubt, has faded from us.

All the best are dead;
Blu. the wall flower s..a reI.uHetL.

And the arbitus, pearl tlossomed,
Hangs its coral bsJ;
There are sunny days in winter, after all
Summer trees are pret'y-very,
And love them well
But this holly's gis,eniDg berry
None of those excel;
While the hr can warm tine landscape,
And the ivy clothes the wall,
There are sunny days in winter, after ell
Sunny hours in every season,
Wait the innocent;
Those who taste with love and reason
What their God hath sent:
Those who neither soar 100 highly,
Nor too lowly fall,
Feel the sunny days Of winter, After all
Then, although our dangling treasures
Vanish from the heart;
Then, although our onec-loved plsasurts
One by one depart;
Thongh the tomb looms in the distance,
And the morning pail.
