sTHE POLITICAL MIDDLE.

The heterogeneous comminglement Of
muddled politics continues about as it
was-only little more SO. Both par
ties confidently and positively claim the
election of their candidates Charges
and counter charges Of fraud and in-
timidation; ordinations and recrimina-
tions are freely and glibly made; and
nobody knows any more to-day who is
to sway the government Of "this great
nation" after Mr.. Grants term expires
next Spring than they did when the
sun went down on the Seventh OF No
vember. The chairmen Of both nation
al committees have issued proclamations
announcing, the one the election Of Til
den and Hendricks, the other the elsc-
ton Of Hayes and Wheeler. There
fore we are to have two presidents and
two vice-presid. uts. and probably after
next March will have two Senates and

In the meantime both houses Of Con-

is awaiting with great anxiety the re-

Temperance.

How rapidly has temperance increased
within the last few years and spread its heal
ing influence over all the world Instances
of iutemperance are daily decreasing, and we
are constantly hearing and seeing the reforma-
tions which are effected by the installation of
temperance principles. Till within short
period the use of ardent spirits was so common
that it was used in every family from the
richest to the poorest from the moral and re-
ligious man down to the most degraded VIC
tim Of its brutaliEing influence, without COM
junction. Indeed it was considered almost if
not entirely as essential to life as bread and
meat. How many young man that has set
out in life with the brightest hopes and the
gayest expectations has been lured by the
hand Of vice into bad company, where his
virtues have been derided and his pure senti-
ments scoffed at until, enable to bear up under
their rldicule, be has yielded to their persua-
siens and when he found himself ruined seized
the intoxicating cup to drown the horrid
thoughts that were lurking in his bosom. 1t
browns them for a little while, but oh,
fold bitterness, BY the thought that he has
only heaped sin upon sin.
The neglected wife! How long does she,
with anxious look and listening ear, sigh for
her husbands return, and perhaps ut the
midnight honr or the dawn of day he comes.
With trembling steps and fearful eyes she
hastens 10 obey his call. And thus he goes
on day and night until he is borne to the
graye-the victim of intemperapce and the
destroyer of her earthly happiness. Though
such instances are sufficiently plenty at the
present day, years ago they were much more
so. Blu, temperance, teetotal temperance, is
working out a poad which has and will yet
prove TO be the salvation Of many: Beware
Of the first glassl The whiskey bottle kills the
soul and dwarfs the intellect. Like the ven
omous snake, its fangs are ready to strike at
any moment. May temperance increase until
the evils arising from the use Of ardent spirits
are rooted out Of all the earth should be the
prayer of all the we'll wishers of humanity.
