The Wives Of Drunkards.

The following noble words are from one
of Brick Pomeroy's Saturday Night ar
ticles.:
You owe nothing to the husband who
does not treat you as good wife should
be treated You have paid your vows an
hundred fold, till now you are bankrupt.
You have lifted up, kissed away the
stains, wiped away the fifth, bathed
away the poIsons and held your murder
er to your breast, even as Cleopatra held
the asp
You owe more to yourself suffering,
abused. neglected wife and mother, than
to any drop Of humanity descending OF
its own accord into the abyss of dissIpa-
ton it persistently seeks.
1t is not your business to go to the poor
house or pOtter's field merely to close in
death the eyes of one who will not walk
to higher fame. 1t is not yoIr duty to
be q milestone, a tool, creature when
life belongs to you as much as to the best
husband in the world The Christian
church sends missionaries to convert
wives who burn on the funeral pyre with
tyrants yet tell you to burn and writhe
with agony on the bed OF thorns to which
drunken, brutal husband binds you
with a marriage web, while he pours red
hot poison into your soul. The church
says it is wicked for hcathens to hold
their arms up till the muscles wither, or
till the nails grow through the flesh and
bones of the hands, yet it tells you to live
in agony and die in torture; to enter the
eternal with a soul dwaried and shrIyeled,
when it should have been full, round,
ripe aud glorious in sweet elements of q
respected motherhood.
Work out from your prison. Open the
doors, for the fastenirgs have rotted, aud
go to the judge and touch the hem
of the law. 1t is the duty of the men,
of the law, to save, not to destroy, not to
hold to burn on funeral pyres; not to
give or compel pain, but to do that which
will make men and women better
1t q man wants to 90 to ruin, let him
90. If he will not save himself You can.
not save him by wifely suffering. If a
man tries to regain lost steps, help him,
in Gods name help him. But if his feet
are skated for ruin, let him go, but 90 not
with him.
Go home, if you have one. If not, 60
and find one. Find one for yourself
Ask the law to give you freedom, or to
provide you with funeral pyre or q
double coffin in which the victim and the
yictimIzer can go to death together
The law should stand to give free re-
lief to those who are bound to whisky
barrels as to corpses. Men build light
houses on points of land and hill, SO tn,
storm-tos,ed mariners can See where is 9
place of refuge or of danger Let the
courts be opened to all who have been de
ceived, and then let society give praise il
honor of women who are at their own re-
quest freed from drunken and abusive
husbands. When a brutal, dissipateC
man knows that the law is more human,
than himselfhe may be taught lesson
but till he can be man and be NOR,
humane than the law, let women he'll
women to be brave, and good men hell
them to advice that will make them bet
ter, rather than worse and weaker.

How to Judge Person by the wall

How to Judge n Person by the Walk.
Careless persons are forever stubbing
their toes.
Fun-loving persons have kind of zig"
movement.
Unstable persons walk fast and slow
by turns
One-idea persons, and always very sell
fish one, "toe-in."
Cross persons are very apt to hit their
knees together.
GOod-natured persons snap their FIN
gers and thumbs every few steps.
Modest persons generally step swiftly
for fear Of being observed.
Calculating persons generally walk
with their hands in their pockets and
their heads slightly inclined.
Wide-awake persons 'toe-out" and
have long swing of their arms, while
the hands move about miscellaneously.
Lazy persOns scrape along loosely with
their heels, are hrst on one side OF the
walk and then on the other.
Very strongmindei persons place their
toes directly in front of them, and have
kind Of stamp movement.
Tinid persons often step off the side
walk on meeting another, aud always go
around the stone instead OF stepping over
it.
Observing persons move slowly; their
hands move alternately from side to side,
while they occasionally stop and turn
around.
Careful persons lift their feet high and
place them down slowly, and pick up
some little obstruction and place it quiet
ly by the side of the walk.

II more attention were paid to duns,
both through the papers and letters,
there would not be so much necessity Of
resor,ing to the last necessIty-the law
for collections. A man when he sends
you polite invitation to settle accounts
does not always expect the money. but
when he finds his demands are treated
with silent contempt, his Indignation is
aroused, and the debtor must suffer.
When you are notified that books must
be settled, whether you have wherewith-
al to cancel the debt or not, let
the man You owe know the circumstances
Of your case, so that he may act intelli-
gently. Your failure to respond to his
call creates a feeling Of distrust that ends,

A Rcminixcence of the Battle i'm Which
Tceumseh Fell.
[St. Catherine Journal

A few years ago it was my privilege to
spend a couple of days with a gentleman
whose beautiful estate lies on the banks
of the river Thames. a few miles above
the thriving town of Chatham. During
the course Of one of the evenings |

Indian chief Tecumseh persisted. "No,'

a boy at the time, remember the day as
though it were yesterday. My father had
a small clearing and saw mill. Our
farm was on the long woods road which
followed the bank OF the Thames. and at
the time run through an almost unbro~

Festival and Art Gallery.

The ladies of Trinity Church al
ways succeed in making a success
Of the socials, festivals, ETC., they
undertake, and the strawberry and
ice cream festival, given at the
Fletcher House, last Thursday
evening, was no exception to the
well known fact. The tables were
set in the dining-room, each table
being presided over by ladies of
the church, who were indefatigable
in their endeavors to please the
guests. Looking into the room
from the hall doorway, the scene
that presented itself to the observ-
er was both pleasant and inviting.
The room was comfortably filed
with guests, the tables were sur
rounded with visitors, who were
feasting on the good things spread
before them, lady walters were fly
ing about attending to the wants
Of guests, friends were conversing
pleasantly in various parts Of the
room, the Alpena band stationed to
left Of the entrance filed the room
with melodious echoes, while above
all rose that cheerful, animated
buzz that betokens a pleasant and
lively gathering.
Walking mp to a stand, above
which was notice informing Wis
itors that tickets for strawberries,
etc, could be obtained, our first
endeavor was to get the necessary
tickets, and then we gazed around
unable for some time TO decide
which table we should come TO
anchor at. All looked inviting,
each table seemed to say "come
and welcome" AT last after
much cogitatiou, we took the first
seat that was empty. and deliver

cents.

The question Of water works has
for some time been agitatipg the
minds Of the people, but the great.
est drawback seemed to be the fact
that the construction Of water
works here would saddle the city
with an enormous debt that would
for many years make our taxes ex-
cesdingly great.
Now, Geo. N. Fletcher comes TO
the rescue, and offers to form O
joint stock company for the pur-
pose of establishing and operating
the needed water works. His
proposition Is to furnish the city
with water, through pipes, from the
dam, the pipes to run through the
streets of the city, supplying each
house with hydrant for family
use. and placing hydrants at street
corners for fire purposes, thus he
ing able to do away with the fire
engines. Whether this plan could
he made to suffice we are unable to
say, but we hope if this is not what
is needed, some other plan will be
proposed, and that Alpena may be
supplied with pure, wholesome
water at no distant day.
The Common Council is to meet
on Friday evening next, for the
purpose of hearing the proposition
of Mr.. Fletcher and taking the
matter into consideration.
