A New Temperance Movement.

A correspondent from Greenfield High
land county, Ohio, gives the following ac-
count of the proceedings in that place
"The women's war on intemperance has
been renewed with fresh vigor. 1 attend
ed, last evening, the mass meeting at the
Methodist church, the largest in the place,
which was densey packed at an early hour.
l estimated the number present at eight
hundred. Their prayerful earnestness in
the temperance cause resembles that of
religious fervor rather than mere social
reform. Here the movement is entirely in
the hands of the women, the men only as
ssting at the business meetings and con-
tributing largely to the guarantee fund.
But this is war in which very little
money can be used or is needed. In fact,
have reason to think that the whiskey
men would like nothing better just now
than to have the reformers begin with the
use of money-that is, by going to law.
The opposition can raise plenty of money
and could fight the matter to. the Supreme
Court and back money is of no use, what
ever, in fighting this kind of a movement.
When platoon of kind-hearted and soft
spoken women come into mans house,
asked his permission therefore, and then
drop on their knees and go to praying for
him, the use of money does not seem prac-
ticable.

The FrOzeu Ship.

In the year 1775, the captain of Green
land whaling-vessel found himself sur
rounded by icebergs, and clay to" until
morning, expecting every moment to be
ground to pieces. In the morning he look
ed about, and saw ship near by. He
hailed it, but received no answer. Getting
into boat with some crew, he pushed out
for the mysterious vessel. Coming along
side the vessel, he saw through the portfolio
a man ut a table as though keeping log
book He hailed him, but got no answer
He went aboard the vessel, and found the
man sitting at the log-table frozen to death,
The last date in the log-book was 1862,
showing that the vessel had been drifting
for thirteen years among the ice. The
sailors were found, some frozen among the
hammocks, and others in the cabin. For
thirteen years the ship had been carrying
its burden of corpses-a drifting sepulchre,
manned by frozen crew. There had been
life in that ship once, and courage and ac-
tivity, and zeal and promptness, and ready
obediance to the word of command but
all this was past. The Arctic chill had
come upon them the stupor of death had
touched them one by one, until the last
solitary watch yielded to his fate, and all

A LIghtnIng.ROd Man Sold.

TIP in Blossburg, last summer,
" lghtningrod man rode up in front of
a handsome edihce standing in the midst
of trees and shrubs, and spoke to Mr.. Sum-
mers, who was sitting on the steps in front
He accosted Summers as the owner of the
residence and said
81 see you have no lightning rods on
this house"
"No," said Summers.
Are you going to put any on ?"
"Well, / hadn't thought of it," replied
Summers
"You ought to. A tall building like this
is very much exposed. I'd like to run you
up one of my rods +; twisted steel, glass fen
ders, nickel-plated tips-everything com
plete. May put one up to show you? I'll
do the job cheap"
" Certainly you may if you want to. l
haven't the slightest objection" said Sum-
mers.
During the next half hour the man had
his ladders up and his assistants at work,
and at the end of that time the job was
done. He called Summers out into the
yard to admire it. He said to Summers
"Now that is all well enough, but if it
was my house I'd have another rod on the
other side. There's nothing like being
protected thoroughly"
"That's true" said Summers, it would
be BETTER"
"I'll put up another, shall L? asked
the man.
"Why, of course, if you think it's best,
said Summers.
Accordingly the man went to work again
and soon had the rod in its place.
"That's first-rate job, " he said to Sum-
mers, as they both stood cycling it. 81 like
such man as you are. Big hearted, lib
eral, not afraid TO put dollar down for a
good thing There's some pleasure in
dealing with you so much that I'd put
couple more rods ON the house, on the north
end, and one on the south end, for almost
nothing"
"It would make things safer, l sup
pose, said Summers
Certainly it would. I'd better do it,
hadn't I-hey?"
"Just as you think proper" said Sum-
mers.
So the men ran up two more rods, and
then he came down again and said to Sum-
meTs
There, that job is done. Now let's set
tie up"
"Do what?'
"Why, the jobs finished, I'll take my
money"
"You don't expect me TO pay you, 1
hope?"
"Of course do. Didn't you tell me to
put those rods on your house?'
"My house !" shouted Summers.
Thunder and lightning 1 never ordered
you to put those rods up. 1t would have
been ridiculous : Why man, this is the
courthouse, and I'm here waiting for the
court to assemble. I'm on the jury. You
seemed to be anxious to rush out your rods,
and as it was none of my business, / let
you go on, Pay for it Come, now, that's
pretty good"
The Blossburg people say that the man
ner in which that lightning rod man tore
around town and swore was fearful. But
when he got his rods off the courthouse he
left permanently. He don't fancy the
place.
