EDIToRs HERALD AND TRIBUNE:
We may talk about the credit mobillier
Investigations and the sale of Cadet-ships
but the act Of Congress to raise the sala-
ries of its own members in point of per-
fdy and dishonesty eclipses them both.
1t does seem that we have class Of Com
gressmcn who think that the people Of
their respective districts belong solely to
them, if they are to be judged by their
conduct and votes in Congress. BY this
act they took from the Treasury millions
Of dollars that ought to have been app
propriated to the payment of the claims
due the soldiers and southern loyalist for
services and property furnished to aid in
destroying the Rebellion and whose claims
have been before Congress for months,
aud years unnoticed and whose families
have been and are now suffering on ac.
count of their devotion to this govern
ment. Yet not withstanding all this,
these sweet pinks Of corruption could
pass these meriteries claims upon the
calendar and with the audacity of the
devil take up the salary bill to the detri.
ment of the nation and the people and to
the disgrace of themselves pass said bill.
pocket the money, come home to their
constituents and try to justify their cause
by saying that the people we're not in
jured by the passage of said measure when
every man in the nation either directly
or indirectly assists in footing the bill.
The member of Congress who has the
brazsn audacity to Justify the act among
his constituency outsides of his Office
holders must have very exalted opinion
OF himself, ana a very poor lean, slim
opinion Of his constituency especially as
to their capacity to judge Of the psrfdy
and official dishonesty Of his course in
the matter. BY the passage of this meas.
ure the people and the nation has been
outraged and be who supported it will
meet with swift and just retributicn.
Keep it constantly before the people that
he who betrays the people and the nation
is unworthy Of their confidence and their
sufrages and let it be distinctly under
stood that free, religious and enlightened
people will consign to that grave that
knows no waking the member Of Congress
who voted to raise his own salary.

Endearing themes now swell the heart.
Such was thy life beloved child,
Each motion was so calm so mild.
Love was the current of thy soul,
Be sure it did thy life control.
Rich grace beset thy path Of life,
In all thy ways there was no strife.
DO not | hear thy footsteps still,
Going on to do thy Fathers will?

countenance no license, until the very idea
of licencery, an acknowledged evils made
ridiculous in the eyes Of oil sensible peo-
pie. We must not withhold our testimo>
ny against the evil of dealing in liquor
even to the liquor manufacturer or seller
himself, whenever we have an cpportuni-
ty Of conversing with him on the subject.
IT'S true, we are touching him. on a ten
der spot, and mayhaps be may get Offend
ed with us for our interference but, nev-
ertheless, it i, our duty to plead for the
right; to do all We can to restrain them,
even as we would hold back the hand of
one who aims to do murder. Those who
silently look on and raise no hand, no
voice, to hinder crime. are accessory to
the deed themselves. There Is no class
of people more injurious to community
than those who persist in making a living
by injuripg their neighbors; who support
their own families by robbing the wives
and children of their customers. They
sell the husband and father Intoxicating
drinks, which is Of no earthly value to
him, and take in return not only his mon.
ey, but his health, strength, brains and
character! True, the liquor seller doe,
not compel men to buy of him, but he
places the temptation before them and
keeps open lounging saloon where too
often music and dancing, card>playing,
song, joke, laughter and storytelling be-
guile the feeting hours, while cake, nuts
and candy tickle the palate and create un,
healthful appetites for stimulating bever-
ages. Is 1t wonder that SO many of our
brt tiers, fathers, husbands and sons after
the day Of toll has ended, resort TO these
pleasant saloons, evening after evening,
rather than to remain in their own, too
often, cherries homes. where a fretful,
over-workcd wife and mother, and pesv-
ish, cross, quarrelsome little ones are the
only attractions? Now we must not
only cry down liquor making, liquor SELL
ing and liquor driklng, but We must also
build up pleasing rccrcations and amqse>
ments which shall stand in the stead of
those tempting resorts, in which the leis-
ure hours of so many are now spent. We
must have lecture rooms, reading rooms,
dancing halls, grounds for crochet, ring>
toss, swinging, rope jumping, &c., "All
work and no play makes Jack dull boy"
A great proportion Of drunkards are made
simply through the desire for social con.
verse and social amusement. Ensure a
suficiency of these in respectable places
and few will resort to dens where liquor
is king. No man wishes to do wrong, or
to become drunkard The are led
away by seemingly humble beginnings
aud end by becoming victims of circum-
stances! Let us then make homes pleas
ant, amusement plenty, and entire tenn
perance only; passport to- good society.
These, once ours, with no license to make
or sell any Intoxicating beverage, and then
Temperance Societies, like Anti-Slavery
Societies, will fud their occupation gone,
thing of the past, a relic Of the Dark
Ages. So may it be. i. ID. S.

than a servants work; she never had ser.

most Invaluable, and would have spared nei-

But, since she was ''only Eleanor" her sis

| in giving her a home, and providing for her
support. The very clothing, which She so la
boriously earned, was given to her as if ia

kitchen was infinitely her superior. so far as
her position IN the family was concerned.

to earn my own living in any way in which l
could have done so. I could not do the great

or to write, or to sing, or to act. / could have
done some useful and humble work that would
have enabled me to support myself, only. as
society is now arranged, should have lost

good milliner or dressmaker, but you wouldn't
have liked to have your aunt engaged in one of
these occupations, you know, though Pm sure
could have been successful in either. Socie-

fettered me, by doing the injustice to any man
of marrying him when l didn't love him.
