Sobleshi had two sons in the

| The Archduke Constantine was
eager to apprehend Michael Sobieski
and learned that the wife of the
Polish hero was at home in Cracow,
and he waited upon her.
"Madam," he said, speaking po-

queenly, Il think you know where

the Woman's Temperance movement had
been like the upheaval Of a volcano,
ard had resulted in great good. That
the sale Of intoxicating liquors had been
bsnished entirely from some tcTns in
Ohio, and in others the sale had been
decreased to large extent. To Zenia,
Ohio, band of 900 women held daily
prayer meetings in one saloon, morning
and evening fo1 four days and succeeded
in closing up the shop. The National
Temperance Society has representatives
from twenty of the states. That the
women had closed 5000 saloons IN New

presented to the Canadian Parliament,
containing 100000 names, asking
that prphibitory laws be passed
That at the last National Brewers
Convention, it was stat ed that the business
had follen off, in all the tates but one
Utah-about one third andthat this had
been brought about by Temperance
Fanaticism.
At the close of her lecture Revs. John
Gridley and II. G. Hitchcock made few
remarks. Mrs Foot will return next
week, when she hopes to form Woman s
Temperance Union. and Band of Hope;
in the mean time the ladies interested
in the cause of Temperance ale requested
to confer with each other, and be prepar

cold day he was engaged in saving wood
This was great misfortune, for he wa
disabled, except to limited extent, from
following his usual avocation, and force'
idleness brought with it winter of hard
ship and dependence ON charity.
But the ten-dollar greenback, along will
it's fellows, lay in Squire Clinch's desk fo
some time. The Squire had in tow {
grand stroke of business. He held mort
gage On a certain piece of valuable pro
perty, whose owner was embarrassed in
his financial matters. The mortgage
would soon become due, and then he
meant to offer to buy the property at a
price far below it's real value, and in the
event of his victims refusing to come to
his terms, to threaten instant foreclosure.
| With this transaction in view land he al
most always had some similar scheme
ahead) he kept his cash in readiness in his
own private desk, preferring not to de-
posit it in bank, as the times were rather
"paniclly," and the tighter and scarcer
money was the more the Squire thrived.
He was a cautious, safe man-this Squire
Clinch-and yet bold and successful one,
too. His wealth increased year by year.
for he was ever on the lookout to turn the
misfortunes of others to his gain. Still
the money lay in his desk, waiting for the
accomplishment Of its selfish purpose,
while it ought to have been in circulation,
and portion Of it, at least, paying honest
debts.
But few there are who are without an
hour of disaster at some time in their ca
reers, and Squire Clinch was no exception
to the general rule. There was a burglary
one night. The 'squire's house was en-
tered noiselessly, and while all the inmates
slept, his desk was silently and quickly
opened. In the morning he found the lock
on the floor, the lid tipped back and the
greenbacks gone A great alarm was
raised and detectives set to work, but no
clue to the money or robbers could be
found. His money that had lain SO Sc
Guided, and, as he imagined, so safe, was
gone beyond recovery; and with it went
the ten-dollar greenback which we have
mentioned. Instead of accomplishing the
good IL might nave done, IL was now SerV-
ing bad purposes in thieves hands. What
a fate!
Which greenback was the more to be
envied-that of Luke Preston, whose Ca
reer carried it over so many checkered
scenes, and whose passage in it's multiform
divisions from hand to hand was in every
case q message Of gladness, a token of hon
esty, and promoter of prosperity, Or that
of Squire Clinch, whose only change from
the dull monotony Of it's useless. selfish life
was such disastrous one?
Let those in whose care the destiny of
greenbacks may be placed take warning
from these two cases, and so act On the les
son taught as to make the world prosper
Gus, their neighbors glad, and themselves
richer in the return sure to follow!

being united in wedlock. On their arrival
in Philadelphia messenger was dispatched
to Camden to secure the services of a GER
tain preacher whom they desired to Off

peared before the reverend gentleman and
announced themselves ready to take thew

The minister was required either by
the law of his State or the regula.

complete record Of the names Of all parties

parents. The ceremonies commenced in

question how old are you? he replied
twenty-five years. The intended bride an

her age. This question she point blank re-
fused to answer, Whereupon the officiating
preacher that he could not proceed further
unless she would give a correct answer to
the question. She paused for a few mo-
ments and then responded, II am thirty.

as he was twenty-five he considered this al
