A PoET1cAL WRITER recently pro-
duced the following on the question of
the right of women to vote:
or Brysnt's bill before the Legislature
To give the ballot TO that s'lovely creature"
Old Srifies SAYS: s.It's violence to nature
What right has woman, safe from wars
alarms,
To cast ballot when she don't bear arms !'
ssFor shame,'' shouts Mrs. HUFF in lofty
dudgeon-
''For shame go to I! get out, you Old cur
mudgeon!
What right have you, with all your talk be-
wild'rin',
To cast ballot when you don't bear chill

Ir is said that the wife of an editor
found the following poetry in letter
in her husbands coat pocket, and that
he has told several contradictory stories
as to who wrote them:
You kissed me and YOU knew il was wrong,
For we are neither kith nor kin.
Need one do penance very long
For such tiny, little sin
You pressed my hand, that wasn't right,
Why viii men have such wicked waysi
Twas not TOR a minute quite,
But in it there arc days and days.
Yet, after all, I'm not TO blame
You took the kiss. l do think men
Are quite without the sense of shame,
wonder when you'll come again

In the early part of February last,
one William Mcguire, a spectacle ped
dler, whose home is said to be in Altoo-
na, Pa, came to the house of John !
Park, in Dimock township, Susquehan- |
ns county, ''on e visit" Mrs. Park be-
ing his cousin, though Mr.. Park had
never seen him before. For The next
few weeks he was at Mr.. Parks house
a good deal of the time, and 1t seems
that an improper intimacy was estab-
lished between Maguire and Mrs. Park,
who was the mother of seven children.
Finally Mcguire went away, and after
he had been gone about q week, on the
24th of March, Mrs. Park took her
twins, a boy and girl, nine years old,
and her infant, ten months old, saying
she was going to visit neighbor; but
instead of doing so she went on the
to Tunkhsbnock, to which place
her oldest son, Francis, in his eigh-
seeuth year, had secretly proceeded her
with her clothing, and there Mcguire
bought tickets for the whole party for
Ohio, and they started of
west, since which Mr.. Park has heard
nothing from them. Mcguire is wild
over, forty-one years Of age. Mr..
Park did not suspect anything wrong
until the elopement had taken place,
though some of the neighbors had had
their suspicious excited by remarks of
Mcguire. Maguire's name is not found
u our city directory, though he may
rave resided in this neighborhood.-
