A rather strange case has lately en-
gsged the attention of the New York
coults. A man named Wright, it seems.
hired q woman to marry him by giving
her note for s., 900. Soon after the
wedding they quarreled and separated,
and the wife sued for the money. A
referee decided in her favor, the husband
appealed, end the majority Of the court
affirmed the referees ruling. Judge
Cardoza held that the considerations
promise of marriage, duly fulfilled-was
sufficient, and that under recent statutes
in New York, woman's right of action
is not extinguished by her marriage to
the person against whom she holds pecu-
mary claims. Judge Barnard, dissent
ing, held that there was no consideration
until after the marriage, and that then
the contract would be null. A contract
to pay money as consideration for mar
rage, ought to be void any way, being
clearly against public policy and border
ing closely on social immortality.
wo4AK's ANSWER TO MASS QUESTION.
Do you know you have asked for the costliest
thing
Ever made By the Esnd shove;
A Somans heart and woman's lite
And q vomal's wonderful Lowell
De you know you have ssksd for this priceless
tcing,
Az child mis- hit ask for toy.
Demanding what others have died to win,
With the reckless dash Of boy?
You have written my lesson of duty out
Msn-hke you have questioned me;
Now stand at the bar Of my womsn's soul,
Until shall question thee.
You may require your mutton shall Be always
hot
Your socks and your shirt be whole;
I require your heart to be true IS God stars,
And pure as His heaven your soul.
You require q cook for your mutton and beef,
require far greater thing;
A seamstress you're wanting for socks and for
shirts,
look for a man and King.
K ng fer the beautiful realm called home,
And man that the Maker, God,
Shall look upon as He did on the FIRST,
And say, SIT is very good"
1 am fair and young, but the rose will fade
From my soft young cheek one day
Will you love me then, mid the falling leaves,
AS you did mid the bloom Of May?
Is your heart an ocean 80 strong and deep
may launch my sn on its tide?
A loving woman finds heaven or he'll
On the day she is made bride.
1 require all things that are grand and true,
Ali things that man should be:
II you give this all, would stake my life,
To be al you demand Of nue..
II ron cannot be this-a lAundress and cook
You can hire, and little to pay;
But womXn's heNrt snd . wCmans life
Are not to be won that way,

RAILROAD MENTION.

In recent communication to the Sparta
Tribune in reference to the Cumberland
and Ohio Railroad, Judge E. L. Garden
hire says: 1.-THE Cumberland and Ohio
road is 22S miles in length. Tograde this
to the Tennessee line and prepare it for
the iron, they have now subscribed ST.
400, 600 with fair prospect of subscrip-
ton of 81, 600, 900 more from the city of
Louisville. This is more than sufficient to
grade the road to the Tennessee line.
This part of the road, as am informed, is
now under contract and the work of con-
struction will soon be commenced. That it
will be finished, is hardly a matter of doubt.
The line through Tennessee is one hun
dred and forty miles in length, for twenty
two miles Of which We have no charter.
From Tullahoma to McMinnville the road
is finished and cars are nov running on 1t,
and thirteen miles more are graded-leav-
ing distance of ninety-two miles to
grade. For this we hsve in Overton
county subscription of $4,000 Put
nam county will subscribe $3.50, 900;
White county will subscribe 5000, 600 with
what she has subscribed; Van Buren, county
$50, 900, and Warren county $75,000 In
land subscriptions it is believed we can
get $500, 900 more. This foots up $780,
600. If the people ale true to their inter
est this amount can be raised, which Sc
cures the building of the rosd bed. Then,
Throughout the entire length of the Ala
bams line they have 200 per mile in
bonds Of the State of Alabama to irJn
their road, and subscriptions sufficient to
grade it. Alabama bonds are worth in the
market from 95 10 SO cents on the dollar.
This secures the construction of the road

mY morHER ArTHE GATE.

o, there's many 8 lovely picture
memory's silent wall.
There's many cherished image
That tenderly recall.
The sweet home of my childhood.
With Its singing brooks and birds:
The friends VINO grew beside me,
With their loving looks and words;
The flowers that decked the wildwood,
The roses fresh and sweet,
The blue bells and the daisies,
That blossonled at my feet:
All, all are very precious,
And Of en- come to me,
Like the breezes from a better land,
Beyond life's troubled sea.
But the sweetest, dearest picture,
That memory can create.
Is the image Of my mother,
NY mother at the gate.
Il is there / see her standing
With her face so pure and fair,
With the sunlight and the shadows
On hey snowy cap and hair;

OF the hand that clasped my own;
can see the look Of fondness
That In her blue eyes shone;
I can hear her parting blessing =
Through the lapse Of weary years;
] can see through sll my sorroWs
Her own sweet, silent tears.
All amid the darkest trials
That have mingled with my fate,
have turned to that dear image,
Ny mother at the gate.
But she has crossed the river,
She is with the angels nov,
She has laid aside earth's crosses
And the crown is on her brow;
She is clothed in clean white linen,
Ard she walks the streets of gold,

Within the Ssv!our's fold,
No sorTowing thoughts can reach thee,
No grief Is thine to-day,
God gives thee JOY for mourning,
Thy tears are wiped away,
Thou art waiting in that city
Where the saints and angels wait,
Ard III know thee, dearest mother,
When l reach the Pearly Gste.

THE physicians of Selma, Ala, have
made out ''black list" on which all
persons who have failed to pay for being
physicked are set down cas- incorrigible
sinners, who will be left in their next
sickness to go to the devil in their own
way" The arrangement is SAID to be
very satisfactory to both physicians and
citizens; the former will be saved a great
deal of annoyance in trying TO collect
worthless bills, and many poor cuss
among the latter will be enabled to live
out the natural term of his life.

REPORTS of an entente cOTdidle be-
tween Russia and Turkey are still cirCu-
lating, and a new impulse has been given
to them by the news of the expulsion of
the Polish refugees from the latter
country. The Turkish authorities lay all
the blame of this measure on Russia,
which, they say, has demanded the dis
missal of every Pole in the Turkish
service. Meanwhile the Paris Patrie says
that the Notifications of Odessa are al
ready completed and armed. Sebastopol
will soon resume its former importance.

amount to constitute a fund from
which the pay of the officers should

Our Candidate for Assembly.

This week we place at the head OF
our ticket the name Of Col. A. l.
Wilcox, as the Republican candidate for
Assembly, he having received the Re-
publican nomination at the Convention
held at Oysters. Col. Wilcox is well
and favorably known in this county, and
has ever been one of the foremost in
developing her resources and advancing
her interests
A more fit nomination could not
have been made, or candidate better
qualified for the position or one more like
" to receive the support of the people,
without regard to party, than the gen.
.sleman in question.
1t is rarely the case that the office
seeks the man and not the man the office,
but this is true in this case, and, as a
consequence, many honest Democrats,
tired of voting FOR mere party hacks
will cast their vote for Col. A. l. Wilcox.
Let every Republican do his duty
and go to the polls on the 10th day OF
October, and cast his vote for the Re-
publican candidate for Assembly, thus
making victory certainty.
The Elk County advocate. [volume] (Ridgway, Pa.) 1868-1883, 1871-09-21

FRaM the first we advised our friends
70 he on the alert for the safety OF
their nominations for the Assembly, and
NOV we are glad to see that every Re
publican journal in the State is alive to
this poin. in the campaign. We must
loose no member in the House of Rep
reseutatives. Under no circumstance
and 70, no purpose let a Republican be
induced to trade candidate for Assem-
bly. There is no trouble about the
State ticket-that ue rW elect By a
handsome majority, if are get onr 0ot'
out, despite the machinot'o"s of the
Democracy and the ingratitnde of rene.
oade Republicans. But we must be
watchiul of the Legislature. Mr.. Wal
lace fights for a noble plize. His aub'
ton is at stake-his future public career
involved iu the campaign, both of which
will be ruined and made worthless if hi
fails to carry the Assembly. The Re
publican party has been in greater dan
ger several times than it is now, whel
it won, and it will again win if we ar
true to ourselyes.-[State Journal.

TEMPERANCE AND IvrEMpruANcE. /

TEMPERANCE AND INTEMPEaANcE.
The following facts in regard to tenn
perance and intemperance are the re-
corded results of the examinations OF
insurance companies, but they will
serve also as brief and effective tenn
perance lecture.
In given number of risks, 10 tenn
perate persons die, between the age OF
l5 and 20 inclusive. and lS Incorporate.
In gwen number of risks, 10 teWpet-
ate persons die, between II and so, and
81 iutemperate-the risk being on an
inebriate moro than 500 per cent.
greater than on temperate person. So
10 temperate persons die, between 81
and 40, inclusive, and about 40 intem-
perate, or the risk is increased some 400
per cent. Hence insurance companies
avoid risks on iuebriates, as they would
on eonsumptives, or those suffering from
Bright's disease, etc. A temperate per
sons chance of living is at 20, A 2
years; at so, 3G.4 years; a. 40, 2S.o
years. An incorporate persons chance
Of living is at 20, 1916 years; at 30,
1873 years; at 40, 116 years. Deaths
from iuebriety are not reported on ac'
count of the opprobrium which attaches
to deaths from that disease. The certi-
fcates of deaths from diseases Of the
brain, liver and kidneys, organs speclti.
caly affected by alcohol, are as follows
Diseases of brain, $50; liver, llS; KID.
neys, 562, making 10 all 1863. The
Registrar states it as his opinion that al
least 20 per cent, or 273, we're the i'm
mediate result Of intemperance. This
number added to the number of those
reported as dying from delirum tremens
gives 55 deaths from alcohol, or one tt
1,Sl5 inhabitants.

CALIFORNIA; bright example should
be initiated in Pennsylvania this iall.
With the local and State adminlstra-
tions against them, the Republicans
have revolutionized the State and car
rie6 it for the irst time Except at
the Presidential election of 1865
since 1866. On State issues the parties
in California took precisely the same
ground. 1t was on the broader field OF
national politics that the enemy were
met and vanquished. In Pennsylvania
all the advantages are on our side. Ou'
