Another Outrage ON the Ballot
W0v

Box
The Legislature on last Wednesday
added another link to the chain Of
outrages on the ballot box, by the
passage of a law making it illegal for
any person to vote any ballot printed
on any other than plain white paper
no Uisi5le aOlBaiataHe,Y whatever.
Should an honest voter dpposite his
ballot for the candidate Of his choice.
and on counting the ballots, it is
found in the opinion Of the Judges.
that the hone voter made a mistake
in what constituted a legal ballot, as
to color, and that his ticket contained
a "visible admixturep of blue, green,
red or black, or ruled, the judges are,
under this law, bound to throw out
the honest voters ballot. Should
some designing demagOgqe distribute,
under false pretensiOns, ballots among
honest voters, voting for his opposing
or party, with the least adj
mixture Of color, and they thought
lessly or without detecting the fraud
vote the ballots, the ballots must be
thrown out of the count, and another
choice Of the voters frustrated.
When will this Legislature, repre-
senting the minority of the people,
get done hedging in the elective fran
chise OF the peOple?-[O. S Journal.

Poetry.

-
"Why call y0 ne, Lord, Lord. and do not the tbinl
which saYl"
Not forever on thy knees
Would Jehovah have thee found:
There are burdens thou canst ease;
There are griefs Jehovah sees:
Look around.
Work is prayer # done for God,
Prayer which God delighted hears.
See beside yon upturned sod
One bowed meath affiiction's rod
Dry hor tears
Not long prayers, but earnest zeal
This is what is wanted more.
Put your shoulder to the wheel;
Bread upon the famished deal
From thy store.
Not high-sounding words ofpraiss
Does God want, meath some grand dOmei
But that thou the fallen raise;
Bring the poor from LIES highways
To thy home.
Worship God by doing good
Works, not words; Kind acts, not creeds.
He who loves God as be should
Makes his hearts love understood
BJRind deeds.
Deeds are powerful; mere words weak,
Batt'riug at high heavens door.
Let thy love by actions speak;
Wipe the tears from sorrows cheek;
CIothe the poor.
Be It thine HEs's cares to smother,
And to brighten eyes now dim.
Kind deeds dops to oRs another
God accepts 70 done, my brother,
Unto Him.
WANTED-A WIFE.
Here is call from country bachelor:
want a wife-a frst-rate wife
A girl that's all my own,
To cook my meals and cheer my life,
With smiling word and tone.
girl that ne'er will pledge voW
Tnany one one but me
That's en- brought mp to milk Gov,
And have warm cakes fer tea.
She mnst be graceful as the bell
Upon the lily found,
And make such butter as will sell
For thirty cents pound.

HOUSE CLEANING.-We are rapid
ly approaching that blissful period
when house cleaning with all its joys,
will be upon US. Whoever has walls
to white-wash will learn much from
the following recipe:
White chalk is the best substitute
for lime as a wash. A very fine and
brilliant Wnite-wash preparation is
called "Paris White" This we buy at
the paint stores at three cents a pound
retail. For each sixteen pounds Of
"Paris White" we procure halfa pound
of the white transparent glue, costing
twenty five cents fifty cents a pound }
The sixteen pounds Of "Paris White"
is about as much as person will use
in a day. tits prepared as follows {:
The glue is covered with cold water
at night and in the morning is care
fully heated, without scorching, until
dissolved. The ''Pdris White" is stir
red in with hot water, enough to give it
the milky consistency for applying to
the walls, and the dissolved glue is
then added and thoroughly mixed.
It is then applied with brush like
the common lime white-wash. Ex-
cept on very dark and smoky walls
and ceilings, a single coat is sufficient.
1t is nearly equal in brilliancy to
"Zinc White" far more expensive
article.
