her beads she handed il to Mrs. Hewitt,
who, after examining it carefully, as
she thought, passed it to her husband.
Tears dropped from the Coloners eyes
as he eagerly grasped the little treasure,
exclaiming in an excited manner:
at is the identical locket that my
father presented to my mother on her
bridal day, and which l have often
heard her say she priced more than her
and touching n secret
spring, he held it up to view, revealing
the face of both parents in the bloom of
youth. Handing it to Lodi, she gazed
for the first time since her baby-hOod
upon the faces of those who went sor-
rowing to their graves for their loss.
The brother and sister were not the
only ones who wept, for not a dry eye
was there in that group.

composed enough to again resume the

The subordination Of Woman.

The Chicago AdCoHce, the organ of
Western COngregatiOnalism, 7hOlds the
following advanced(?J views:
"FrOm the first proclamation of the
'Woman's Rights doctrines, we have
toreseen and foretOld their ultimate re-
suit in free love- The claims of total
independence, made for woman, the at
tempt to deny and ridicule the subor-
dinatiOn of the wife to the husband, the
lrreverent treatment of ScriptUral doe
trine on the subject, the rejection, also,
and naturally, of the New Testament
Limitation of divorce, these and other
indications certified Us that some of
the prOfessed TefOrmers meant immor-
ality in the end, and that Others, at
present pure, were steadily drifting to-
wards it."
All of which means, 'Wheu Won get

The License System.

OF all the laws that ever disgr8ced the
statutes of civilized people, that which
proposes the license to open n grOg shop
is the most disgraceful. 1t is not only
directly calculated to destroy the prop
erty, health and lives of the peOple-the
most important interests that il is the
province of law to protect-but it is vir-
tually setting aside the law of God, and
making it legal for men to commit
crime. Under it every conceivable
crime finds protection, and every virtue
finds its death. Instead of protecting
the innocent from the devilish designs
of the guilty, it throws the cloak Of re
spectability over the vilest criminal g,
and delivers over the suffering victim to
the tender mercies of n set of cold
blooded villains, and, for so much
money, pledges society to aid in the
most unblushing robbery. It enables
the rum-seller, the most detestable OF
all criminals, to hold up his head among
respectable dealers, and gives him.

victims, the power to command the sup

THE LOCALITY OF HEAvEN.-Jesus
evidently did not believe in long up
ward flights to glory. He brought
heaven nearer home. And why should
not heaven be nearer home? Heaven
at ones elbow, God and the angels about
our inkstands and sewing machines, in
our shops and sanctums, is more proba-
ble than this idea of an immensely ele-
waited region "beyond the skies" Why
should preachers, especially, continue
their eye-rollings and their gestures in
the direction of the clouds? Let them
address themselves to God where he is
in the visible and not the invisible uni
verse. Let them not overlook and crush
him i'm the blossoms under their feet,
while they lift hands and eyes and lungs
in vain supplications to the "great
white throne. e.n-THc Lider.

WOMAN SUFFRAGE.-The Missouri

s'The Republican party has half prom

too late to say that the masses of that
party are not prepared for the question
that, IN fact, they are opposed to the
sweeping revolution which it involves.

Brain work costs more food than hand
work. According to careful estimates
and analyses of the excretions, three
hours of hard study wear out the body
more than a whole day of severe physi-
cal labor. Another evidence of the cost
of brain work is obtained from the fact
that though the brain is only one-for-
tieth the weight of the body it receives
about one-fifth of all the blood sent by
the heart into the system. Brain work
ers, therefore, require a more liberal
supply of food, and richer food, than
manual laborers.

OFFICIAL LOCAL OPrIoN RETURNS OF
PENNSYLVANIA. According to the official re-
turns of the Local Option election, received at
Harrisburg, nineteen counties of Pennsylvania
have given majorities for license and thirty
eight counties maiorities against license.
Two-thirds of the counties in number, pro-
badly covering a proportionate area of the
State, have thus been carried by the temper
ance men. The maiorities in favor of license,
in the counlies voting. for i,icerse, foot up
nearly $1,000 ; and those against license about
Matchmaking a popular majority for the
latter of some 1000. But, in the cities the
count showsla considerable majority the other
way, SO that in the entire State there is clear
majority for license Of from 5000 to 10000
Bucks Co. Intetligencer.
This does not show the weakness of the
prohibition movement, as has been asserted
by the enemies of the law. On the other hand
it is most encouraging to the friends of tenn
perance. Before the official returns were in,
it was claimed by them that the state had
gone against the law by thirty or forty thou
sand majority, and hence their boasting.

CLARK PIERsoN, EDITOR.
ATTEMPTING TO DECE1vE.

From the viituous tone of tie Democratic
rapers, and their indignant denunciation of thu
Republican members of Congress for the pass
age of the bill giving to Congressman back
pay, a person who reads those papers alone
might be led to suppose that the party they
represent voted about unanimously against it.
The Hunterdon Democrat of this week seeks
very plainly to make this impression. II
says si.a iae
1sSuppose it had been believed by the peo-
pie that the Republican majority in Congress,
after having been paid the stipulated salary
for their services, would vote themselves $3,-
900 each out of the Treasury" &c.
How false this charge is we will proceed to
show. We do not wish to take from any
Republican Congressman the odium which
justly belongs to him for voting for this mea-
sure but when it is attempted to make CAPT
tai for the Democratic party by holding the
Republican party alone responsible, it is time
to show, as it can be, that it was more of a
the same proportion of Democrats as of Re-
publicans had opposed the bill, it would not
have passed--in other words, much larger
proportion of Democrats than Republicans
voted for it. After scanning the following
analysis of the vote for which we are indebted
to an exchange) one would suppose the Demo-
cratic press would cease their false charges,
and go to setting their own house in order
but perhaps this is too much to expect of them.
Let the following figures speak -
The total Democratic vote ON the measure,
taking both Houses of Congress, was:
Senate ayes 10 ; House ayes 43. Total ayes
SO.
Senate nays 5 House nays 81. Total nays
81.
Democratic majority in favor of the bill 1G.
Now compare this with the total Republi-
can vote for and against the bill:
Senate ayes % House ayes 81. Total ayes
10. ~ #a 81
Senate nays 20 House nays 81. Total nays
81. aia IisH
Total Republican majority against the bill,
9. 08se
Thus it will be seen that while the Demo
Gratis in Congress as a party voted by 10
majority in favor of the increase of their sala-
ries, the Republicans in Congress voted by 2
majority againstit OF the AZ members not
voting Is were Republicans and 81 were De-
mocrats, showing Il vast Democratic dispro-
portion on the side of absenteeism and skulk-
ing as well as of positive wrong doing.
A further analysis of the vote proves in
terestng in many points. In the Senate %
Republicans voted aye, and 20 voted nay =;
while 10 Democrats voted aye and 5 nay !;
showing that in the Senate the Democratic
members cast two-thirds OF their vote for the
increase, while of Republicans voting there
was only a majority Of two. II Senators did
not vote Rep, Dem. and two Liberals.
Liberals voted aye, and 2 Liberals voted
nay.
In the House 81 Republicans voted aye !;
and 81 Republicans voted nay "a Republican
majority of against the BILL
In the same body 43 Democrats voted aye
and 80 Democrats voted MY a Democratic
majority of II in favor of the bill.

the gold is not A gentleman who took stock
in the golden legend has spent three thousand
