Journal PTOspectuS.-We publish the

We propose TO reduce its subscription price tn
One Dollar and Fifty Cents for the year, strictly
payable in advance. 1t will also be zen th / We
have made arrangements to club the Journal
with some of the very best periodicals in the
land so that each publication may be olt lined
at very low figure.
In view Ofthis change in our programme of
business, we cordially invite our patrons to let
us hear from them by the beginning of the New
Year.
lt'will be found that the JOURNAL, at present
contains far more reading of general, as we'll
as that of special character, than most of the
county papers around, furnishing each week a
complete diary Of the proceedings Of Congress,
together with all the associated press dispatches
rewritten and put in condensed and Ineligible
form. II also furnishes editorials rejecting the
sentiments Of the leading daily papers of the
country on the issues Of the day.
We propose hereafter To make ii still more ef-
feciive and useful, and in all n1tters it will be
found to be thoroughly Independent. We there
fore invite our friends to ren ewed efforts in our
favor. and very earnestly assure them that lhey
will find their subscription of dollar and hal
for the JOURNAL to be one of their very best in
vestments.

WAIT.
by GRACE MELBOURNE.


"Wait," she said, and turning sadly
To the bright aud shining west,
Where the golden clouds Of evening
In their glory seemed to rest,
Gagged with eyes that saw no beauty,
For her soul was wrapped in gloom;
Earth was dark 10 her, but flowers
BJssomed all about the tomb.
"wait," she said, unit the sorrow
Which o'erclouds my life Is yours,
Till the shadows all the sunshine
In your bright blue sky obscures.
Then you will not say 50 calmly,
Cherished hopes in Heaven dwell,
Trust in Him who loves you,
Fsr He doeth all things well.
All the calmness had borrowed
At her words in wildness fed.
Aud the pain of years grew stronger
l had prayed that it was dead,
And | spoke in trembling accents,
Calm had been my tones Of late,
Oh my friends, these words rem ,mber,
Tell me not for woe to wait.
You have seen cloud of trouble,
It has darkened your bright blue,
Yet see the clouds are breaking,
There is joy in store for you.
But, my friend, moment only
Let mo lay this vail aside,
In my hearts deserted chambers
Young and joyous hopes have died.
Once form as bright and manly
As the one whose love you hold,
Held the key that locked this aanctun,
And lis walls we're lined with gold.
But a bright, n smiling fairy
From the maddening wine cur. came;
And IL stained my idols honor,
Blotted out his honest name.
For they Knocked him, called him coward,
by the wine-cup he was led,
And the blow, so well directed,
Was returned, and he lay dead.
For they struck him on the temple,
And the life light all was g1ne,
Long ! lay e'er scattered reason
Ger my mind began to dawn.
Ask me why hate the wine cup,
We whose friends mock at the spell,
Ask me why turn from pleasure,
Ask me now and | will tell.
Oh nv friend, know that sorrow
Clouds your bright young life Of late,
But we all must have our darkness,
Ask me not for woe to wait.
