The Hearth md Home thinks it is a
trife hard that while secular papers, almost
with one voice, commend the work of the
women who are fighting the rum business
in Ohio, several of the distinctively reli-
gious papers are casting the wet blanket of
doubt over the movement. The papers
which were loudest in condemnation of
Prof, Tyndals proposal to submit the eff
cacy of prayer to the test of experiment,
claiming that it's efficacy stands proved
already. are the very first to doubt epow-
er of concerted prayer as it is now being
tried in Ohio.

THE PLEDGE OF SPUNRY POINT.
A Tale of Virtuous Effort and Human Per-
fdy.

Tale OF Virtuous Effort and Human Per
fdy.
It's ali very well for preachin,
But preachin and practice don't gree;
I'm posted on virtue and temprance,
And you can't ring it in on me-
Jest toddle along with your pledge, Squire,
Ef that's what You want me to sign;
Betwixt me and you, I've been thar,
And I'll not take any in mine.
A year ago last Fo'th July
A lot o the boys was here
We all got corned, and signed the pledge
For to drink no more that year.
There was Tlman Joy and Sheriff McPhail,
And me and Abner Fry.
And Sheiby's boy Leviticus,
And the Golyers- Luke and Cy.
And we antied up a hundred,
In the hands of Deacon HEDGE.
Fur TO be divided the following Fo'th
Mongst the boys that KEEP the pledge.
And we knowed each other so well. Squire,
You may take my scalp for fool
Eff every man when he signed his name .
Didn't feel dead sure of the pool. +
For while it all went lovely;
We put mp job next day
For to make Joy 'blieye his wife was dead
And he went home middlln' gay.
Then Abner Fry he killed man,
And afore he was hung McPha
Just bilkrd the wdder outen her sheer
By gttin' him slowed in Jail.
Bat Christmas scooped the Sheriff.
The eggnogs gethered him in
And sheby's boy Leviticus
Was New Years tight as sin.
And along in March the Golyers
Got SO drunk that fresh billed owl
Would a looked 'longside O. them two young mer
Like sober temperance, fowl.
Four months alone walked the chalk:
thought my heart would break,
And all them boys aslapping my back.
And AKIN, "What'll you take 2"
never slept without dreamin' dreams
OF Burbin, peach or rye,
But chawed at my nigger-head, and swore
Id rake that pool or die.
At last-the Fo'th-I bumped myself
Through chores and breakfast soon,
Then scooted down to Taggart's store.
For the pledge was Off at noon:
And all the boys was gcthered there
And each man hit his glass,
Watchin' me and the clock, quite solemn like
Fur to see this last minute pass.
The clock struck twelve--T raised the ing.
And took one lovin' pull
was holl lr clai from skull to boots,
1t seemed couldn't git full.
But was reused by fendish laugh
That might have raised the dead
Them ornary sneaks had sot the clock
An half an hour ahead
"All right" squawked, you've got me;
Jest order your drinks agin,
And we'll paddle up to the Deacon's
And scoop he ante in
But when We got o Hedges,
What sight was that we saw!
The Deacon and Parson Skeeters
In the tail Of game of draw.
They had shook 'cm the heft of the nornin'
The Parsons luck was fair,
And lie raked, the minute we got thar,
The last of our pool on a par.
So no more Temperance for me, Squire:
low it's all very fine.
Blu ez fur myself, ] thank ye,
III not take any in mine
--Tohu Hay.

1t is somewhat remarkable, says the
London Telegraph, that while in the Parli-

% members should have been removed by
death from the House of Commons-an as
sembly numbering more than 650-the
House of Lords, a body containing 200 fewer
members, has witnessed the death of 108

nzullett yyaipnea IN Cincinnati.

8 CINCINNATI, Feb. 1o.-A difficulty oc-
CURED on Fourth street to-day, the parties
interested being A. B. Mullett, Supervising
Architect, and the Hon. Henry Kessler of
this city. Kessler was nominated by tho
President for Postmaster Of Cincinnati, but
for some reason his name was withdrawn
Meeting Mr.. Mullett on the street to-day,
he accused him Of being the cause OF it.
Mullett denied the charge, and Kessler call
ed him a liar. Mullett resented by hitting
kessler in the face, whereupon Kessler took
Mullet BY the hair and jerlsed him around
pretty lively foi' a minute, and the battle
ended, neither of them showing any signs
Of punishment.

A Paris physician relates the particulars
of a curious case he has under his charge.
1t is that of a young girl, eighteen years Of
age, who is afflicted with what is termed
nychatobia, that is to say, she loses the
faculty Of sight in daylight, and RECEIVERS it
il darkness. Although her eyes do not
present any special morbid characer, she is
forced to keep her eye-lids closed during the
day and to cover her head with thick
veil. On the other hand when the shutters
of room are hermetically fastened she
reads and writes perfectly in the deepest
darkness. She feels no pain beyond a
slight lassitude when the solar light strikes
her visual organs.

Those disinterested Journals, the New
York World and the Chicago Tribune, are
at outs as to what shall be done with the
grangers. The Tribune urges them to form
a distinct organization-a third party-and
the World warns them that if they do SO
they will court the odium and defeat which
is sure to come upon them. What are the
poor grangers to do i'll view of this strange
diversity af opinion?

Marshal Mcmahon has not been content
with re-establishing a strict censorship Of

inspection.

Miss Phoebe Cozzens, of St. Louis, lee
tured few evenings since on "Women as
Lawyers" She wore heavy silk, with pol
onaise over-skirt, all richly befrilled and fur
beloved, and trimmed with black lace
roses at the belt, breast, and back hair,
with white frills at her neck and wrists,
and a sparkling aigrette in her hair We
don't care philadelphia centennial as
the Milwaukee Sentinel has it, what she
had on, only we desire to afford the public
anidea what the appropriate costume for the
coming lawyeress will be. Miss Cozzen in
voked upon the woman's movement the
''dew of patient benediction and the pure
air of perfect freedom" which SO far as
the dew is concerned, might be regarded as
throwing a wet blanket over warm gush.

Perhaps our readers have never heard of
Professor John Carney. The Professor
has made a speciality Of the noble study of
theft in all its branches. He has opened
classes of young men in Cincinnati at the
following reasonable rates: Hotel thieves,
S.; highwaymen, $15; pickpockets, 800;
panel-game, S160; shop-lifting, $500; burg
lars, $500; confidence men, S., 900, and rob-
bers, $5, 900. 1t will be seen that the higher
branches of the profession command the
highest prices, and that the graduating
class Of F'robbers" includes, of course, per-
feet knowledge of all. When the student
has completed this scholastic course he is
supposed to be fully competent to matricu-
late at the university. He will then enter
upon a course of study, including railway
management, city treasuring, Congress
ional plunder, and international piracy.
The Professor has graduated with honors
at Sing Sing and other universities, and
has recommendations from all the blue
coats of Europe.
