1HAvE DRANK MY LAST GLASS.
RY LOUISE s. CPHAM.

No, comrades, thank you, not any for me;
Ny last chain is riven, heDcetorward N Tree:
will 90 to my home and my children tonight
With no fumes of liquor their spirits to blight,
And with tears in my eyes, will beg my poor wife
To forgive the wreck made of her life!
IL have never refused you before" Let that pass,
For I've drank my last glass boys,
I have drank my last glass!
Just look at me now. boys in rags and disgrace
With my bleared, hasgsrd eyes, and my red, bioated
face!
Mark my faltering step and my weak, palsed hand,
And the mark on my brow that is worse than Gains
brand;
Sec nv orownless old hat, and my elbows and knees
Alike warmed by the sun chilled by the breeze;
Why, even the children will hoot rs pass
But I've drank my last glass, boys,
! have drank my last glass!
You would hardly believe boys, to look at me now,
That mothers soft hand was once pressed on my
When she kissed me- and blessed me, her darling, her
pride,
Ere she lay down to rest by my dead fathers side;
But with love in her eyes, she locked up to the sky,
Biddirgmc meet her there and whispered, "Good bye
And I'll do it, God helping! Your smile I let pass,
For I've drank my last glass, boys,
have drank my last glass
An L feeieu noue last niSul-i was noe ie'e law
For I'd spent my last sxpence, and landlords won't
wait
On poor fellow who's left every cent in their till,
And has pawned his last bed, their Golfers to fill.
Oh the torments felt, and the pangs endured!
And begged for one glass-ust one would have cured
But they Kicked me out doors IL let that too pass
For I've drank my last glass, boys,
have drank my last glass!
At home, my pet Susie with her soft golden hair,
~ ~ linz in,
From her pale, bony hands, her torn sleeves were
strung down,
While her feet, cold and bare, shrank beneath her
scant gown;
And she prayed-prayed for bread, just poor crust
For one crust-on her knees, my pet darling plead
And heard, with penny to buy one, alas
But 1've drank my last glass, boys,
I have drank my last glass!
For Susie, my darling, my wee six year-old
Though ainting with hunger and shlverlng with cold,
There, on the bare floor, asked God to bless me.
And she said, "Don't cry, mamma. lie will! tol
you see,
I Jeliere what ask forr' Then, sobered, crept
Away from the house and that night, when slept,
Next my heart lay the PLEDGE-lou smile: Let
it pass.
But I've drank my last glass, boys,
have drank my last 8 lass
NV darling child saved me! Her faith and her love
Are akin to my dear sainted mothers above!
will make her words true, or I'll die IN tho race,
And sober I'll go to my last resting place;
And she shall knecl there, and, weeping, thank God
No drs.akard lies under that daisy strewn sod!
Not drop more of poison my lips shall e'er pass,
For I've drank my last glass, boys,
l have drank my last glass!

A Forgotten History.

The Chicago Journal says that Mrs.
Elizabeth Huddleston, the grandmother
of Mrs. Gov. Beveridge, and widow of
the Sheriff of Ranssalaer county, N. Y,
who was killed by the anti-renters, at
the breaking out of the I" anti-rent war;
there, between thirty and forty years
ago, died at Evanston on Sunday. She
was one of the Oldest Inhabitants of
Cook county.
The foregoing is not quite correct.
Sheriff Huddleston was killed nearly ff-
ty years ago, by John Van Alstyne, on
whose property Huddleston had levied
an execution. The anti-renters had
nothing to do with it. The body was
found buried in a field, where Van AL
styne had narrowed over it to conceal
the spot. The murderer was hanged
after making a confession, which was
printed for circulation on the day of the
execution, with the picture of the gal
lows and swinging victim on the title
page to make it sell. Murder was a
rarer thing then, and the children who
saw that frightful wood-cut never forgot
it.-SDrinUfeLd Journal.

New Facts for yegetarians.

A treatise on medicine, published in
the 18th century, treats at some length
tween tN NJ certain df vegetables. It says that
the oak and olive hate each other so
earnestly, the one or both will die when
they are planted near together !; and that
the same is true of the cabbage and the
vine. "And thus" proceeds the author,
cit is no marvel that the cabbage is very
useful to sober topers, and that the Ger
mans eat it commonly in a compost, to
safeguard themselves from their wine"
The passage contains hints for both clas-
ses of the enemies of drunkenness. The
friends of temperance can learn from it
to encourage a popular taste for sauer-
kraut and the friends of abstinence
will be inspired to "sow tares among
wheat" or wheat among tares, by scat
tering the surreptitious cabbage-seed in
Vineyards and SO killing the vines

whisky.

ADDING Poison TO Po1soN.-There is
no disease in which the blood is not
more or less impregnated with unwhole-
some matter, and the direct, inevitable
effect of all preparations containing
spirituous excitants is to increase the
volume of poison in the veins, and
thereby aggravate and prolong the NAL
ady. Hence it is that dyspepsia, bilious
fever, cholera-morbus, lung-complaints,
govt, dropsy, rheumatism, nervous dis
orders, and cases of general and local
debility, originally mild in type, are fire.
quently rendered chronic and dangerous
by dosing the sufferers with the alcoholic
bitters advertised as medicinal stimu-
lants. As a ~counterblast to the canards
put forth by the proprietors of those
pernicious compounds, the plain, honest,
philosophical statements of tDR. JOSEPH
WALKER, relative to the nature and
effects of his CALIFORNIA VINEGAR BIT
TIERS, are doing a world of good. He
has opened the eyes of the public to the
important fact that a pure vegetable
tonic and alternative, u~npolluted by alco-
hol, if not an absolute specific for every
variety of disease, is the nearest approach
to it yet attained. His VINEGAR BTTERs
are unquestionably working such Won
ders in affections of the stomach, bowels,
nervous and muscular systems, and the
glands and respiratory organs.-[Com.

THURSDAY, March 6.-The Senate assem-

MONDAY. March 10.-The Senate Committee
on Elections were directed to examine and report at
the next session the best and most practicable method
of electing the President and Vice-President of the
United States, together with a plan for the organiza-
ton of a tribunal to determine all contested ques-
tons connected Herewith, and that the committee
have leave to sit during the recess of the Senate.
The case of Caldwell was taken up, but nothing was
against the validity of the election, and a written de-
tense of Caldwell by himself, who rested his case on
the plea that the Senate cannot go behind his ma
jority to consider the means by which it was OBJ
tanned.
TUESDAY, March ia resolution directing
the Secretary of War to report as to the expediency
Of setting OFF a part of Mackinac island for a public

Deadheads Demonstrating Even with
Congress.

Mr.. Horace F. Clark, President of the
Union Pacific railroad, now here upon
business of the company, says that over
5000 free passes have been applied for
this year, many of them in the interest
of Senators and members of Congress,
as well as other officials, but last night
the Executive Committee decided that
hereafter|no free passes over the road
shall either be printed or issued. The
pro rata fare to San Francisco and re-
turn IS $112. The directors of the COM
pany are trustees of it's entire interests.
The Executive Committee nave been
compelled to look into the rights and
privileges of the company, to issue free
passes, as well as to seek every possible
revenue, to enable the company to pay
its working expenses and liabilities,
and, if possible, dividends to stockhold-
ers. Now that the Government with
holds the pay for its freight, the neces-
sity for cutting off the free list is i'm
perative. On a recent through train on
the Pacific road there were 81 free
passes Washington Letter to the NetO
