The woman's Injunction Case.

Our readers were informed in last
weeks HERALD, that the injunction
sued out against the women in Nor
row, to prevent them from praying
and singing at certain saloon keep
er's place, has been dissolved by Judge
Smith In his judgment after stating
under what circumstances an injunc-
ton might be legally granted, the
Judge says: al. ..
'sThe question then is, does the plain
tiff bring himself within these princi-
plies? l do not think he does. In the
first place, there is no allegation in
his petition Con which alone he can
stand) that, except in a single in
stance, did he ever request this Inya-
sion (as he calls it) to cease, or the
persons engaged in it to leave his
premises. For all that appears from
the petition, all the other raids may
have been with his full consent; and,
indeed, the proof shows such to have
been the fact up to the 9th of February,
1874, when for the first and only time,
so far as the proof shows, he requested
the ladies to desist.
Nor does his petition allege either
in terms or by implication that he per
sonally suffered any annoyance, or
that irreparable injury to his trade or
business had or would accrue. There
is no statement that in the aggregate
his business had decreased at all, and
for all that appears, it might have,
during the period of the holding of the
meetings complained of, been better
than ever before; and, indeed there is
some evidence OF adm issions by the
plaintiff that such was the fact.
| But there is another ground, which
in my judgment, effectually dispOses
of this motion. That is the third
viz. =: That the allegations of the pc
tition are not true He alleges that he
| kept a house where he conducted bust
ness according to law. From the ma
| ture of the case, the character of this
| business in this respect is directly in
issue, and from the proof it is perfect
ly clear to my mind that instead Of
this it was place where Intoxicating
liquors were habitually sold in viola
ton of the laws of the State, and
where gambling was constantly car
ried on.
Such a place as this our statute ex-
pressly declares to be public nui-
sance, and which being shown in 9
proper case would have to be ordered
by the Court to be shut up. Now the
doctrine is perfectly we'll settled thai
a nuisance, either public or private
may be abated even by force, so nc
breach of the peace is committed
Surely, then, the means used here
with the view of abating this nuisance
were not unlawful or in derogation o
the rights of the plaintiff, for as th'
keeper of such an establishment, tht
maintainer of public nuisance, anC
gambling house, he can have NJ
standing in court of equity, when HI
asks to be protected in his unlawful
and criminal business. The injunction
will be dissolved atplaintiffs costs"

HOW THEY FOOLED A STRANGER.

A stranger from the mountains came slowing
And stopped to get his dinner at Montezuma
town.
And his rough haired, raw -boned played out,
tired and hnngry-looking steed,
He sent out to recuperate with feed.
1t wasn't such fancy horse-his joints were
And his legs hung out each side of him like oars
And the stranger who came riding that nag to
Had an exaIfed opinion OF his qualities. pre-
But when they went to chatting him-those
That he should get his dander up is nothing very
And when they talked of betting that they had a
colt fright thar
That could beat his horse, he bridled up with
Altho' 1 don't much keer to run, never let a
banter
trot or canter.
So if you've got runin' hoss, or dozen, trot
And I'll try and make it lively, even if nary a
red win
Then like wild-fire spread the rumor throughout
that mining town,
That they'd caught a 'greeny'' mapping, and
would do him up so brown,
That 'twould make his head swim, maybe, for
they entertained no doubt
OF their open -and-shut ability to clean that
stranger ont
From fifty dollar greenbacks down to Monte
yuma scrip
They, staked their money lively. with a reckless
''let her rip
And they gathered up their brOnchos and every
nag they had,
For they wanted to wax that stranger and his
horse almighty bad
Then straightway that stranger started with
those citizens en- maSse,
TO find level spot of ground all covered DER
with grass,
For said he. Il reckon we mout as wen just let
the critters go,
'Thout waitin' any longer, for it muchly looks
like snow
The rivals in that scrub lit out the stranger got
the lead;
And the ''ornery'' horse developed extraordinary
speed.
He got away right easy with those NIontezuma
nags
And that stranger smiled serenely as he pock-
eted their rags.

THE GOLDEN SIDE.

There is many a rest on the road of life,
If we would only stop to take it;
And many tone from the better land,
If the querulOus heart would wake it.
To the sunny soul that is full of hope,
And whose beautiful trust ne'er faileth,
The grass is green and the flowers are bright
Though the Wintry storm prevaileth.
Better to hope, though the clouds hang low,
And to keep the eyes still lifted;
For the sweet blue sky will soon peep through
When the Ominous clouds are rifted.
There was never nj ght without a day,
Nor an evening without a morning;
And the darkest hour, the proverb goes,
Is the hour before the daWning.
There is many gem in the path Of life,
Which we pass in our idle pleasure,
That is richer far than the jeWeled crown
Or the misers boarded treasure;
1t may be the love of a little child,
Or mothers prayer to heaven,
Or only beggar's grateful thanks
For cup of water given.
Better to weave in the web of life
bright and golden filling,
And to do Gods will with ready heart,
And hands that are swift and willing,
Than to snap the delicate silver threads
OF our curious lives assunder;
And then blame heaven for tangled ends,
And sit to grieve and wonder.

TRUE PHILOSOPHY.

And suppose the world don't please you,
Nor the things some people do,

Whatever comes or dosen't come,
To do the best YOU can?,'

Used Her Club.

A Detroit mother does her moral
suasion with a club. She recently in
terviewed a rumseller who had led her
boy from the paths of temperance, and
when he attempted to put her out of
doors she beat him with her club and
then spoiled every decanter in the
house. The spectators were amazed at
the exhibition, but they failed to help
the liquor dealer. They simply re-
mar ked that the lady was acting 'sagin
the law" and then cheered her violence
as a fine exhibition of an abstract prin-
cIple having nothing to do with the
particular case at issue. And it would
seem, on the whole, that the best sup
porters of the ladies of wrath who have
embarked in the temperance business
are the habitual drinkers themselves.
Nobody knows so much abOnt the evils
of intemperance as the habitual drink
er; and nobody is so easily converted,
or SO earnest when converted, as the
man who is habitually half-seas over.

AS the panic of 1857 was fol-
lowed by a general religious awaken
ing, so, though in a less degree, has
been that of 1878. During the winter
the churches have been unusually ac-
tive, and the accessions to the ranks Of
their memb ers very numerous. Spec
iaI services have been held in this city,
and have been attended by large con-
gregations. The Protestant Episco-
palians have entered upon the observ-
ance of Lent with great devoutness :;
the Jealous Methodists are reporting
extensive revivals. In Ohio and In
diana religious feeling has associated
itself with the temperance crusade. 1t
seems probable that 1874 will be a
marked year in the history OF the
Protestant churches of the United
States.

A CHRISTMAS CAROL.

Christmas has come, Christmas is here,
With its hearty cheer, and mirth beside;
The merTiest time Of all the year
Christmas Is here, Joyous Chr.stnas-tiie,
The flowers on hill and plain are dead,
And snow heaped forests are black and drear;
But the box is green and the holly is red.
Christmas has come. Christmas is here.
The loved ones gather by board and hearth,
To speed the STEPS Of the feeting year
With gleeful song and heartfelt mirth.
Christmas has come, Christmas is here,
With tokens Of love from the dear ones all:
All, hearts warm through the changing year.
Though flowers wither and dead leaves fall
Christmas has come. Christmas is here,
But the wind il sigheth the pines among;
II mis-eth voice il knew last wear.
4 laugh which then the merriest rgng.
Christmas has come, Christmas i hcrei
And we list for bounding step again,
A CHEEKY whiStle,-it cumeih not near
And voice OF music-but all in vain
Christmas has come, Christmas is here.
Christmas, Our Joys are past and fed
OF the happy friends you greeted last year,
some are scattered, he is dead.
Christmas has come! Christmas is here!
Welcome its gladness and heartfelt glee,
Drop, friends, for the mourners, a silent tear,
But weep Rot for those who from sin are free
Our FJeside Friend.
