PATIENCE DOW.
BY MARIAN DOUGLAs.

Home from The mill came Patience Dow;
she did not smile, she would not Talk a.
And now she was all tears, ana now .tI n
As fierce as a cspGve hawk. r
gnnindful Of her faded gown
Her long hair falling tangled down r
Her sad eyes gazing far away,
Where, past the fields silver line,
She saw the distant river shine a, 81 81
But. when she thought herself alone. l.. ~.
One night, they heard her muttering low,
In such chill. despairing tone,
II seemed the east wind ) sullen moan.
SsAh me! the days they move so slow!
care not II they re fair or foul;
They creep along-lknow not now,
only know he loved me once
He does not love me now!
One morning. vacant was her room;
And in the clover wet with dew,
a narrow Line of broken bloom
Showed some one had been passing through;
And, following the track, 1t led
Across field of summer grain,
Out where the thorny blackoeTries sned
Their blossoms In the narrow lane,
Down which the cattle went TO drink
In the summer, from the rivers brink.
1.-The riVerI" Hope within them sank:
The fatal Thought that drew her there.
They knew, before, among the rank,
White-blossomed weeds upon the bank,
They found the shawl she used to wear,
And on it pinned little note;
4iOh blame me notp' II read, "for when
once am free, my soul will float
To him! he cannot leave me then!
know not II 7 is right or wrong
go from life-I care not how;
only know he loved me once
He does not love me nOw!
In the farm graveyard, meath the black,
Funeral pine-trees on the hill,
The poor, worn form the stream gave back
They laid in slumber, cold and still.
Her secret slept with her; none knew
Whose tickle smile had left the pain
That cursed her life; to one thought true,
Her vision haunted, wandering brain,
Secure from all, hid safe from blame.
In life and death had kept his name.
Yet, often, with a thrill OF fear,
Her mother, as she lies awake
At night, VIII fancy she can hear
A voice, whose tone is like the drear,
Low sound the graveyard pine-trees make:
s'I know not II 7 is right or wrong
/ go from life-I care not how;
only know he loved me once
He does not love me nowV

THE MANCHESTER WAR.
BENSON ADDRESSES THE MULTITUDES AND
CAMPAIGN LOOKED FOR.
Iron Occasional Correspondent of the Sentinel
MANCHESTER, Ind, Feb. 25.-It certainly
has not been for the want of field in which
to work that has prevented active labor upon
the part of the advocates of temperance, for
the year 1874 finds Manchester with more
saloons and more drunkenness than ever
before, and subjects for prayers are numer-
GUS enough to enlist the attention of null
titude of praying women. The friends of lem
perance have, with the beginning ofthis week,
commenced work and on Monday and Tues
day evenings large and enthusiastic meet
ings were held in the city hall. Luther
Benson, OF Rushville, addressed the meet
ing on both evenings. AS temperance ad-
vocate, Luther is a success and his addresses
are superior to those we have been accus-
toned to hear. He is an eloquent and forci-
BILE speaker. and we shall not be surprised If
his labors in this place will arouse feeling
of indignation against the whisky traffic that
will exhibit itself in fewdays in movement
that is not altogether passive. So well were
our citizens pleased with Mr.. Benson's eff
forts that on last evening they complirnentod
him with serenade, and should he ever
visit our place will be warmly received.

Why do people read advertisements
To see who is enterprising and to learn
what is going on. To see if there is
anything new, or anything that they
want. To see if the seasons styles
have come in, and to find out who has
them. To know if any one is selling

chance of an auction. For amusement
To satisfy curiosity. Because they
have read all the stories, marriages,
