THE BONDAGE OF DRINK.

You think love il. If this nerveleSs hand
Could gain immortal strength this very
hour
I'd sweep the hcllish traffic from the land,
Ann crush its blighting, maddening. night

Yea, now, with all my latest, dying breath,
I'll curse the thing that drags me down 10
death.
Love it, loathe it. Yet l drink and
drink,
And hate nv bondage with deadly hate,
And hate myself us through the town sink.
The pledge No, no. Too late-tOO late!
No pledge! I've tried it twice-a waste of
breath!
Too late! There's no release for me but
death.
It's bad enough TO drink; Iut not TO drink
Doth such IA train OF ghaStly horror wake
As in one hour would leave me dead |

All, keep away, We iiends, for PHYS sake!
The very thought of them affects my brain,
My end will be when they shall come again.
Love rume I'd love to hold my head up
high
And breath Gods air a free and fearless
man,
And look with undimmed eyes on earth and
sky,
With steady nerve TO do and head TO plan;
I'd love to grapple trials as they come
lin manly fashion, brave and strong. Love
rum?
If only l could come into some land
Where no drink is, God knows how will
ingly
I'd fight those dreadful torment. to the
damned
That clutch the soul of him who would
be free,
But marshal up those grizzly shapes of woe
To fail again, as twice before? No, no!
All, if might have known how it would be
In those old college days so wild and gay,
When first drank in youthful revelry!
How easy then TO put the cup away.
A mothers hope and joy was till then;
Now see me trembling-ha! Those eyes
againl
Back, fiery eyes, TO he'll, where You belong!
I'll drink We down-wlat, blood, drink

Help! Help! They come, hideous, dev-
ilish throng!
Back! Get We back They'll toss me in
the flood!
Long, crooked hands are crawling in my
hair!
Is this the end? IIa, ha! Too late for
prayer.

THE BENNEHoFF ROBBER.

The arrest of James Saeger, in the Far
West. on the charge of being the prln-
cipal in the celebrated Bennehoff rob
berry, in the oil regions of Pennsylvania,
has brought out in the Lancaster IHtet-
Egencer, the following brief account ot
his swift journey OH the downward path
"Saeger came to Lancaster IN 1876,
and was a student at Franklin and Mar
shall College for abOnt a year and a hall.
His father had recently died, after accu.
mulating property to the amount OF
S75, 900. He was an upright man, oil
fine business talents and the village OF
Saegerville is named after him. The
son, who was an only child, was too lib
eraIlv provided for on leaving home by
his guardian and an indulgant mother.
He came TO Lancaster with thousand
dollars in his trunk, which he at once
Droceeded to spend in riotous living.
That sum was enough to corrupt himself
and n few students with whom he asso-
ciated After remaining at college eigh-
teen months, he left without graduating,
and went into business in Venango coun-
" With such habits as he had formed.
success was very improbable, and he
soon ran through his own share of his
fathers estate. and ruined his mother.
He loafed about for years and finally
became the leading character in the
Bennehoff robbery. He stopped in Ian
caster a week or so before the robbery
was committed. and stated TO an ac-
ouaintance here that he had been spend
ing some time in Philadelphia, and while
there he had slept in the engine houses
with the boys There is every reason
to believe that his visit to Philadelphia
was made for the express purpose OF en-
gaging the services of the professional
burglars who were his partners in the
robbery"

The following little incident has just
been published by Mr. John Rankin, of
Glasgow: Livingstone and |. when

Mills. he being a little older than I-he
was the big piecer and | was the wee
one-the big piecer always having dOu-
bic the wages of the Wee ones. The pro-
prietors of tine mills did not allow any
of their employees to walk on the banks
of Clyde in the vicinity Of their cotton
works Poor David was one afternoon
caurht taking a solitary stroll on the
forbidden path, with his book of travels
in his hand. which was his wont to do.
He had no companions. associated with
no bows of his own age. ] was the
only one that he at a time took stroll
with. and that was but seldom, for it
WAS his hobby TO walk alone on the
banks of CLYDE and other minor streams
and glens. and at all times with some
usasII book in his hand; and for having
disopeved his employers orders, by hav-
ing walked on the bonnie banks Of Clyde.
although the property was in nOwise

10 a fine of o. or leave work 1t i
needless TO say he left, for he had d
noble spirit in his youth, which he car

TO death. and may his spirit now rest in
peace with his tod, is the sincere wish
of his old fellow-worker at Blantyre"

CHEESE FOR CANNON SHOT.-The
queereSt ammunition that We have heard
of lately was used by the celebrated Com
modore Coe, of the Montevedian navy,
who in an engagement with Admiral
Brown. of the BuenOs Ayrean service,
fired every shot from his lockers.
What shall we do, sir!' asked his
first lieutenant. We've not IL single

the idea; | will try EN-" cried the first
lieutenant. And in a few minutes the
fire of the old Santa Marie Goes ship
which had ceased entirely, was reOpened,
and Admiral Brown found more shot
flying over his head. Directly one of
them struck his mainmast. and as it did

But nobody could tell.

JUDGE WHITMAN MISTAKEN
LETTER FROMNEAL DOW.

| A gentleman of this city, who wrote
Mr.. Dow in regard to the statement made
| by Judge Whitman at the License meet
ing held at Exposition Hall, has received
the following reply:
MANCHESTER, Eng, April %, 1874
DEAR SIR have just arrived here
from Ireland, and find your note, with
several Others, awaiting me, asking for
the same information that you wish to
obtain.
The statement of Judge Whitman. to
which you allude, viz. Neal Dow, au-
thor of the Maine Law. has been forced
TO admit that it was necessarily a fail
ure, is entirely untrue there is not, and
never was any foundation for it. On the
contrary, l do now, and always have de-
clared it TO be an entire success. LIQUOR
is sold more or less secretly in Maine, in
violation of the law, but it is far within
the truth to say that the sales are not
One-twentieth so large as they We're be-
fore the enactment of the law, and the
effect of this upon poverty, pauperism,
suffering and crime, is marked and very
great.
In the large towns and cities secret sell
ling exists more or less but in the small
er towns, villages, and rural districts,
there is absolutely no liquor selling at all,
either open or secret Judge Whitman
had no warrant whatever for his state
ment, and l wish he may be called upon
to produce the authority on which he
made it.
L am now in this country expressly to
urge the adoption here of the policy of
prohibition. / am constantly at meet
lngs in every part of the kingdom, at all
of which | declare that in my country
that policy has been n success Every
where | declare the drink traffic to be an
infinite mischief to the nation, and an
infinite misery to the people, while no
good whatever comes from it to either,
and that it has no reason whatever for
its existence, except in the ignorance,
apathy, or vice of the people.
The movement in this country in ia
vOr of the legal suppression of the drink
traffic is making rapid progress. Already
members of Parliament are elected or
defeated by it, and at the next general
election here, this question will be more
prominent than any other. / do not un-
derstand how any intelligent man, if he
be a good citizen, can favor the legaliz-
ing of a trade which everybody knows
10 be at war with every interest of the
State and of the people. The tendency
Of that traffic is to drive out from the
people everything good, and substitute
for it everything that is bad in every pos
'ible degree of enOrmity and intensity.
It is not possible to Overstate the evils
If the liquor traffic, nor its baneful in
iuence upon every interest of society,
public and private, at the some time that
10 good whatever comes from it to the
State or the people.
am, very truly, yours,

CUSHING AND CHOATE.

Old Squire Gerrish, of Newburyport,
Mass, isa genial soul, who has host of
legal "reminiscences. An intimate friend
of Webster, Edward Everett and Rufus
ChOate, and law partner of Caleb
Gushing, he had a rare opportunity of
collecting anecdotes and details that are
interesting now. When connected with
Cushing. time came when those two
Titans, Cushing and ChOate, were on
opposite sides in an important suit. On
the day when the case was called, the
court room was crowded A battle be-
tween such men was u novelty, even in
that epoch of brains. 10 the amazemeEt
of judge, jury and spectators, both
Cushing and COate were somewhat anx-
ious for a continuance, in other
words, a pOstpOnement of trial. As
usual thing, both gentlemen were always
anxious to force ease to trial, being in
state of ''chrOnic preparation" as
Webster once said, in speaking of Choate.
In going out of court, says Mr.. Gerrish,
| met ChOate and said: 'IIOw is it that
you were ready for II continuance to-dayf
1t is a little odd of you"
ChOate replied, d,-"Ch, | am n little
pressed with business, and can afford to
let this case stand over"

not ashamed to own il, either
'.Well, well, said /, this is pretty

frightened. What on earth do you fear

"Mr Gerrish, will tell you. / am
afraid of his overwhelming knowledge of

leb, what was the matter today Why
didn't you insist on trying that casep
oh" he replied, ''the weather Is
warm, and we have much to attend to,
and didn't care to hurry matters"
Now, Gushing, be honest; were you
not little afraid of Choatef'
''Well, Gerrish, to be candid about it,
was Are you satisfied, nOwf"
then inquired what he feared Choate
for do you think, said !, THAT he

No, sir. don't, " was the reply, "but

CHINESE MARRIAGE.-A writer on
Chinese manners says: There is ire
mendous scene when the bride is torn
away from her parents and family to go
to the strange husband, whom she has
not yet seen; their copiOus weeping
washing off the mauve paint and mixing
it with the white, thus forming quite a
landscape of hills, rivers, and bridges;
but the brides face is now entirely con
cealed by long thick fringe hanging
from her head-dress of silk and iewils,
and flowers, utterly understandable. No
doubt when she gets inside her sentry
box, she puts on fresh coat of mauve
or red raddle, III order TO appear resplen
dent before her husband that is TO be.
There may be good deal of real weep
ing as also much that is sympathetic, for
it is an absolute fact that if one woman
sees another crying, she cannot resist
shedding tears also, especially If she
could touch her sorrowing friend, and
attempt to console her The bride, af-
ter many attempts, is at last secured in
her chair, from which she has been CON
stantly jumping out and rushing back
into her mothers arms"

Yet firmly, all the while,
And answer their upbraiding

They came-that band of womcn-
Calmly, serencly came,
With no deep voice Of anger,
No sccthing words of blame;
A band of wives and mothers,

A hope beyond despair.
There were women from all stations

Who once once in mercy came
To soothe my stricken mother
Ere the husband rum had slain.
That woman then was shielded
From every sOrrOwing wave

Within drunkards grave.
Her only son, who should have been,
Her comfort, staff and stay,

So, comrades, latent manhood
Was wakened in my breast,
Till with smitten conscience

That God would spare in mercy

But as prayed in boyhOGd.

THE Lanark Gazette, Staunch Granger
paper, publishes the following, which is
too good to be lost:
"a Granger dreamed that he died; he
went straight to the spirit-world; he
knocked at the gate of the New Jerusa-
lem, and it was opened unto him. The
books were opened; he was asked, did
you ever belong to any secret societiesr
to which he replied, Il did, TO the Gran
gers" Then, sir, you cannot be ad-
mitted. Depart" He then went to the
door of the bottomless pit, where the
same questions were again asked him by
the Devil; and again he was told to de-
part. After he had gone little way off.
he was accosted by the homely ruler of
the pit, when the following propositions
were made: Stranger" said Nick. II
