When am dead:
Strew not the fiow'ry wreath o'er me
On my cold bed.
Let friendships sacred tear

Gemming with pearls my bier

Let not the busy crowd be near,
When am dead.
Tanning with unfelt sighs my bier

Deep let the Impressions rest

ANOTHER VERSION OF THE LITTLE HATcHET
SToRY.-The Green Bay Advocate gives
the following concerning an humble fol-
lower of the great &c. W." A little boy
out West undertook to come G. Wash
ington on his mother in this way: He
cut off the cats head with the traditional
hatchet and then hid the defunct feline
in the meal barrel When the old lady
went for meal to make the "hoe cake"
for the frugal morning repast, she dis
covered that cat and interviewed her
little son. He said, II did it, mother,
with my little hatchet, but I'll be swiz-
zled if | can tell the whole truth about
this little affair" Now, most mothers
would have kissed that brave, truthful
lad on his noble brow and kept on using
the meal out of that barrel just the same
but this one didn't She said, Come
across my lap, my son; come across my
lap" He came, and for awhile there rose
such cloud of dust from the seat of his
trousers that effectually hid the son from
view, and the old woman now sports gog-
giles and is lavish in the use of
Pettit's eye salve. That good little boy
had peppered the seat of his pants.

A CRUSADE FOR TRUTH.


We are told that this is female COM
munism-a crusade of fanatical women.
1t is crusade but crusade in a holy
cause-a crusade in the interest of hu-
manity, of domestic happiness, of COM
mon virtue, and of our common welfare.
If that be the crusade that it is called,
then may 1 live and die crusader.
Loud amens
Women of Cincinnati, the work before
you is no holiday sport. Three hundred
thousand souls are here on the bank of
this beautiful river. By the side of mag
nitcent homes are the novels of rags and
wretchedness. In your midst are palaces
built upon crushed hearts, and colossal
Establishments whose foundations are
based on the tears of suffering Thou
sands are the victims and thousands the
champions of King Alcohol You may
fail, but | hope not. | trust that when
this warfare is ended there may remain
not one on whose cheek is seen the tear
of sorrow.
WILL PRoTEsTANTIsM- PERISH?
Think you the Christian religion will
go down in this great struggle2 We are
told that Professionalism must perish, if the
crusade goes on. Perish because it would
exterminate from the midst of mankind
its great enemy 1t may go down. The
Son of God, when battling with evil upon
the earth, was stricken down; but He
rose again. Professionalism may go down,
but it will reappear like it's crucifed
Lord, and grow brighter and brighter. 1t
is written in heaven by the finger of God
that this struggle will end in success,
and Professionalism will come out brighter
from the conflict Light, liberty and
love chained to the car of temperance,
will rise higher and higher.
