REASON FOR WoMAN's TEMPERANCE MOVE
MENT.-Harper's Weekly, gives in a few words,
the reason of the power of the womens move
ment against rum. Their earnestness is based
upon their personal sufferings from this shell
BROTH brewed by human agencies:
The women whose homes are ruined, whose
hearts are broken, whose lives are wasted by
drunken husbands and sons, who see at every cor.
ner the smiling iend the DEVILS trap set to catch
human happiness; who are dragged hopelessly
downward day by day toward AFFECT, helpless
poverty and all its terrible temptations, and
who see no succor anywhere-these women and
their tragedy are the power and the consecra-
ton of every such movement. The hymns may
be poor stuff, and the prayers mere guesses of
vanity and eonceit, and the excitement phys-
cal frenzy, but under all the mean phenomena
is the indispensable and far-reaching sorrow of
suffering women A dram-seller who sees
wife whose husband he has ruined appealing to
God in her misery, as she kneels in his pres
ence or before his door, is the very kind of man
to be profoundly, even superstitously disturbed,
and to vow to renounce his trade He can deal
with mobs of swearing men and pistols, but a
throng of women kneeling in prayer for him
perpiexes and confounds him.

Two UNITED STATES SENATORS. "A woman's
letter in the Philadelphia Press Igives the fol-
lowing picture of two Senators:

Two UNITED STATES SENATORS "A woman's
letter in the Philadelphia Press Egives the fol-
lowing picture of two Senators:
Senator Morton had turned in his seat SO that
he sat facing the orator. Not word that fell
from the speakers lips was lost to this highly
gifted product of the great State of Indiana,
the most notable and in one sense the most in
tereStiDg member of the United States Senate
We have all read the story in the Arabian
Nights where the men of a certain city had be-
come so powerful, and so very naughty that the
genii had to do something that would not de-
stroy the men for all usefulness, and yet would
prevent any Outbursts of wickedness or folly
So he touched them all with the enchanter' s
wand at some point below the shoulder blades
Instantly the men lost the power of locomo-
ton. While the upper parts of their persons
were alive, the lower became black marble
But what Senator Morton has lost in one ex-
IRENE he has gained in another; for to-day he
is the strongest man who attempts to lead in
his faction of the Senate. There is something
about his head which bears striking resem-
blance to the portraits of Webster, aud he is
thought to be one of the most forcible speakers
In the Senate. His arguments are hurled at his
opponents as cannon balls fly to kill the enc
my. But if he has hard, rugged, sharp side
10 ms intellect, there is another as fascinating
as that SAID to be possessed by Aaron Burr OF
Mirabeau. Many may not agree with this opin-
ion because they never can see that point of
his character which is revealed to women alone
Men only see the surface of men. 1t is left to
women to go down into the depths and bring
up the pearls and corals, and vice versa,
Senator Mitchell of Oregon, sat leaning back
upon sofa in a distant corner. He had re-
signed his Senatorial seat for the time to bene-
fit a prominent member of Congress. AS he
appeared with the gorgeous walls of the SEN
ate for background, no finer picture could be
found for an artists copy. Tall, elegant and
graceful. with q singular purity of com Dlexi on

pers. Will water fall when the clouds are
moist? Will labor seek the neighborhood of

so sonei is not to blame because he is the hand
somest specimen in the Senate He did not
make himself Suppose he made mistakes or
committed mischief before the sense of right
and justice was crystalized in his mind? Who
knows anything about the temptations placed
before Adonis? What did Adam do when Eve
gave him the apple, and told him it would do
him good?

DICKENS ON THE WoMAN's CRUsADE.-The
Boston Traveller thinks that the following story
by Dickens will be read with satisfaction both
by those who favor and those who oppose the
praying women's crusade against intempe rance
Once upou time, as Mr.. Dickens relates in
his "Tale of Two Cities" there lived in England
"resurrectionist.' that is to say, body-snatch-
er; by the name of Jerry Cruncher, in whose
house the scene of our tale opens, just as the
hero awakens after night spent at his favorite
occupation.
Mr.. Cruncher reposed under patchw ork
Counterpart, like harlequin at home. At first
he slept heavily, but by degrees began to roll
and surge in bed until he arose above the sur
face, with his spiky hair looking as if it must
tear the sheet to ribbons. At which juncture
he exclaimed, in voice of dire evaporation:
'Bust me, if she amt at it againp'
A woman of orderly anil Industrious appear
ance rose from her knees in a corner with suffi-
Gent haste and trepidation to show that she was
the person referred to.
WHAT said Mr.. Cruncher, looking out of
bed for boot. 'Youre at it agin, are you?"
After haiing the morn with this second salu-
tation, he threw boot at the woman as a third.
What, said Mr. Crnncher, varying his
apostrophe after missing his mark, what are
you up to, Aggerawayter?"
~ was only saying my prayers"
saying your prayers! You are nice wo.
II was not praying against you; was pray
ssYou wer' mt. And if you were, I won't be

nice woman, Jerry, going praying agin your
fathers prosperity You've got dutiful moth
er, you have, my son. You've got religious
mother, you have, my boy; going and Topping
herself down, and praying that the bread-and
butter may be snatched out of the mouth of her
Master Cruncher (who was in his shirt) took
this very i'll, and, turning to his mother, strong
al board.
"And what do you suppose, you conceited fe-
male" said Mr.. Cruncher, with unconscious in
consistency, "that the worth of your prayers
may be? Name the price that you put your
prayers att
are worth no more than that"
"Worth no more than that?' repeated Mr..
Crnncher. ''They amt worth much then:
Whether or no, 1 won't be prayed agin, tell
you. l can't afford it. I'm pot agoing to be
made usky By down. op favor You Of
husband and child, and not in opposition to
'em. If had any but unnatural wife and this
poor boy had any but unnatural mother l
might have made some money last week, in
stead OF being counterprayed and countermined
and being relgiously circumwe into the
worst of luck Bu-u-st." said Mr.. Cruncher,
who had been all this time putting on his
clothes, eff l amt, what with piety and one
bowed thing and another, been choused this
last week into as bad luck as ever poor devil
OF an honest tradesman met with. Young Jer-
ry, dress yourself, my boy, and while 1 clean
my boots keep an eye on your mother now and
then, and il yoa see any signs of more Hopping,

dressed his wife once more, 81 won't be gone
