sg- We lsarn that our young friend

sg We learn that our young friend
Josephus Williams, Md, has fixed upon
the thriving city of Allentown, in Lehigh
County, as the future field of his profes-
sional labors. The Dr. is n native of this
county, studied faithfully aud zealously
under the care Of Dr. A. Reeves Jackson,
Of this borough, and graduated with con-
siderable eclat at the Medical University
ut Philadelphia Besides the advantages
of large private practice, the Dir. spent
several years in the army and navy Of the
United States, during and since the re.
helliop, and as physician has already
earned for himself an enviablc reputation
Whether as a physician or gentleman,
our Allentown neighbors will find him
worthy of Unlimited confidence, and a
iuost valuable acquisition to the society
Of the city. He has our best wishes for
his success in life.

1t has become sort of popular = al
most rational = faith that it is not pos
sible to be truly happy unless you drink
Among certain classes - and they are by
no means exclusively the lowest = drink
ing is the beginning and end of every
thing. The very name of liquor is held
to be synonymous with enjoyment, and
the dearer the liquor the more it is priced
and coveted. Yet every man who is not
a downright drunkard, is well aware that
the pleasures of drinking are, beyond a
certain point, mockery, delusion and y
snare. | put it to any one who has stood
half the night at bar. or sat half the
night in ciubroom, drinking, sp;okine-
and bandying reckless talk, if The enjoy
ment of such an evening has bean any
thing like that of few quiet hoprs spent
at home with book or newspaper! The
evil influence of tavern pleasure on the
health Is too obvious to be, denied hSz
any one, and the illusOry nature Ss .iies,
pleasures themselves would be undenia-
bic also, if the persons who indulge. in
them did not deceive themselves and put
the truth out of sight
No one ever brought any good out of
a drinking bout yet. 1t is short, fe-
verish spasm of animal enjoyment, which
leaves nothing but moroseness, regret,
bad temper, selfish reproach and head
ache. | should like to ask you, sir, If
you say your prayers when you come
home in that state? No, you don't.
You are ashamed to say them. You
postpone them until you have purged
yourself, your mind and your lips BY moro
sober and rational behavior. Next night
when you pass the hours quietly at home
with book or friend, you feel that you
had real enjoyment, and that the time
has passed pleasantly, that you have
learned something and that you have not
injured your health You are not
to say your prayers, aud you get
up next morning with clear head, a
good appetite, aud an Increasing facility
for work aud enjoyment of life. : al the

A Good Move.

We learn that number of the young
men Of our borough, are organizing new
fire company to take charge of the Hu-
name Engine, an excellent little machine,
which has too long been left to take care
OF itself. FROM the names and character
oi the gentlemen comprising the contem-
plated new company, VIC do not hesitate
20 say that the Humane, when under way
will prove a most efficient auxiliary in
Ahe extinguishing Of fires. The material
forming the company is certainly of the
right stripe for active work.

Grape Wine for sickness.

Decidedly one of the incest and mos
creditable of any advertised article We
have ever seen, is the wine bearing the
above name, from the vineyard of Mr.
Alfred Speer, of Psssaic, N. j. This
wine is expressed from the Oporto grape,
which, under the hand of Mr.. Specr, has
been brought to state of great perfec.
ton. The wine possesses the very high,
est medicinal virtues, and certainly as an
article of beverage it is not, in our iudg-
ment to be surpassed in color, taste, or
any OF the qualities which constitute a
pure, mild and agreeable wine. = Boston

The Monroe Democrat on The Elec-
tive Franchise"

1--WE TIdUCulSc.
The Monroe Democrat, our cotempo-
rary, came out last week in terrible
sweat, with hair erect, kicking right and
left, like a mad man, at our Republican
Legislature, because it, fearing not our
frothy, clustering neighbor, nor his ike,
had the audacity to enact, in the first
place, Registry law, such as many other
States have had in operation for years;
secondly, for introducing in the Lcgisla-
ture a bill to prevent voting on forged
naturalization papers. Such is the Of
fence of our Legislature. Now what is
the meaning of this movement? asks
the Democrat. Now, Mr.. Democrat, sym
pathizing with you in your ignorance,
permit US to enlighten you as to the ex-
act " meaning of this movement"
In the first place, it is notorious that
there were last year, in Luzerne County
alone, manufactured fire thousand forged
naturalization papers, which papers were
voted on in various parts of the State to
carry the Democratic ticket last fall.
Now mind, this lis no clap-trap, for it is
proved fact, mainly by Democratic wit
nesses, which is proof strong enough, we
trust, to satisfy our fussy ueighbor that
this damnable crime is unalterably fixed
upon the skirts of his honest party. Mark
you, this is but one of the Democratic =
vote = manufacturing establishments dis
covered and ventilated. 1t is an old
trick of the Democracy. For years back
in every hotly contested election, they
have been peddling forged naturalization
papers, as quack doctor does his bogus
pills. But We have not been able to lay
our hands upon them in any considerable
number, until now.
To prevent the using of these forged
papers, and others like them, in the fu-
turc, the movement" Of which the
Democrat complains, was put on foot
If the votes cast on the strength OF
these forged papers had been kept out Of
the ballot=box last fall, we would have
carried the State by sweeping majority.
Whenever we are fairly outvoted we shall
endeavor to submit gracefully. But to
be beaten by such stupendous Democratic
forgeries, is CALLING in the extreme. To
set this gross Democratic wrong right, or
20 at least nullify it in part, our Legis-
lature introduced these bills, the design
of which is to exclude all from the ballot
box but legal voters. That is exactly
what the movement" means, Mr.. Dem
ocrat, and nothing else. Every man
who has a right to vote can do so with
the utmost case, but the scoundrels will
now find it hard matter. No honest
man who understands these acts, be he
foreign or native, will think of complain
ing in the slightest degree of such laws.
Ii is simply an effort to make tho ballot
box pure.
But our honest Democratic neighbor
complains terribly of them because he
sees plainly, Notwithstanding his thick
head, that these acts must necessarily
greatly reduce the Democratic vote of
this State.
These acts are certainly impartial,
bearing precisely against the Republicans
as they do against the Democrats They
will interfere with no one who has a
right to vote. How then can honest men
complain of them7

STRING ELEcTIoNs.-The Spring
elections are near at hand, and the
Democratic leaders are working qui-
etly but earnestly and vigorously,
drilling the rank and file of their
party for the contest. They regard
a success at the Spring elections as
worth thousands of votes to their
party at the fall elections. In view
of these facts we hope our Union
friends in every township in this
county win be wide awake to4he
interests of the great Union cause,
and 60 to work Immediately, bring
ing out good Union candidates for
the various township offices, and
use every honorable means to elect
them. You can do it in this coun-
ty, if you try. It is an error to
suppose that it makes no difference
whether We elect Union men or
Democrats to township offices. 1t
does make some difference. Let
the Democratic party carry the
elections in April, and they will
claim that the tile Of popular SEN
timent is against the policy Of the
Union party that the people refuse
to sustain the men and policy of the
Union party; and whoever has
studied and observed the turn of
politics, knows that, like another
element, the tide carries with 1t a
power that it is difficult to resist.
Our political friends should re.
that the election Of town
ship Trustees is Of great import
ance, as they have to decide upon
the qualification Of voters. Trus-
tees should be chosen whose preju-
dices bot master Of their Judg-
ment; W men should be chosen
who will be guided by the law. See
to it that you put good men on your
tickets for Trustees,
