UNGRATEFULNESS.- are of the
opinion that politican-especially the
small beer class-is one of the most I'M
grateful creatures that inhabit the
earth. Do dog Or beast of any kind
a favor, or show them kindness, and
they will never forget you but poll
tican, one who expects or wishes to get
into office, no matter how many favors
you extend towards them; no matter
how many good words you speak in
their favor; no matter what personal
sacrifices you may make for them and
your common cause, if they find that
your influence and your kind words
cannot hoist them into their much COW
eted position where they can pocket the
filthy lucre, they turn cold shoulder
upon you and lend their aid and infiu-
ence upon others whom they HOPE may
better serve them in the future. How
ever, while they think that probably
your willing efforts will lend them
weight you are one of the best fellows
in the world, and they palaver and
blow aroudd you with the air of king,
but when they find that your influence
is not the thing they want they will
desert you, and work with might and
main to destroy what little influence
you have and even ruin you if they
can. These reflections have been
brought to our mind by the treatment
received by Capt. G. w. McCranie, of
the Ouachita Telegraph (Democaticl at
the hands of the City Council of Mon

The Hearts Secrets.

A wild, wet night! the driving slect
Blurs all the lamps along the quay;
The windows shake; the busy street
Is vet alive with hnrrying feet;
The wind raves from the sea!
So let it rave! My lamp burns bright;
My long day Is work is almost done;
| curtain out each sound and sight
Of all nights in the year, to night
choose to be alone.
Alone, with doors and windows fast,
Before my open desk stand;
Alas can twelve long months be past,
My hidden, hidden wealth, since last
held thee in my hands
So there it lies From year to year
see the ribbon change; the page
Turn yellower, and the very tear
That blots the writing disappear,
And fade away with age.
Mine eyes grow dim when they behold
The precious tribes boarded there
A ring of battered Indian gold,
A withered harebell, and "a fold
Of sunny chestnut hair.
Not all the riches of the earth,
Not all the treasures of the sea,
Could buy these house-gods from my heartl
And yet the secret of their worth
Must live and die with me.

SAYBROOK.

Eds. TeE.-The Sunday-schOOl picnic at
Sturgeon Point last week Wednesday, was
fairly attended, though none of the schools
spilled over, the number taking part in the
e xcursion being smaller than it is some
years, though all of the seven schools in
the town were represented.
The weather was fine, the ride pleasant,
the dinner excellent in quality and quanti-
ty, and ample justice having been done to
the same, and some singing in Gospel
Songs" by some of the sweet singers of Is
rael-or Saybrook, disrecollect which;
two short, pithy speeches by Revs. Mize-
ner and Streeter, and then swinging, boat
ing, floating and other fashionable amuse-
ments by Young America, until it was
time to seek the paternal mansion.
The great event of the week was the
temperance meeting at the NJ. E. church,
last Sunday evening. The church was
well filled with our own townspeople and
the delegation OF temperance speakers and
workers from Geneva. Jonathan Warden
presided over the meeting, and set the ma
chinery to work in good order. The prin-
cipal speaker of the evening was D. W.
Dorman, and his earnestness and evident
sincerity made deep impression upon the
audience. O. C. Pinney unfurled the roll
of honor, containing over eleven hundred
names of members in Geneva; and made
some keen thrusts at the respectable cider
drinkers, for whom he has less love and
pity than for the poor drunkard in the
gutter. He was followed by Messrs. Eaton,
Grover, Spring and others, in u sort of ex-
perience meeting manner. The expert
ence of Mr.. Grover, by its simplicity and
apparent candor, made strong impress
ion upon his hearers. Hitherto cider has
been a darling beverage of many Say
brookites-even members of the christian
churches have refused to sign the pledge
in other days because they would not yield
their inalienable right to drink cider, when
and where they chose to do so. A call
was then made to all who had not already
done so, to come forward and be enrolled
in the temperance army. The chair an
nounced that III names had been obtained
but a careful count reduced that num-
Der to an even $50. We give our Geneva
friends credit of being earnest and success
full workers, and are entitled to the thanks
of the people of SaybroOk. 1t is proposed
to hold another meeting soon, when we
hope to see the number of names reach up
into the hundreds. The work is moving
bravely on.
We would respectfully and mildly re-
quest the parties having the contract for
building the bridge near Smith Walkers,
to go on and finish it in this life, for some
of US may not need it unless completed in
the 10Th century. We say this with NAL
ice toward none and charity for all
By the way, strict justice requires us to
say that large number of the signers of
the Murphy pledge were members of the
Womsn's Temperance League, or the
Young Peoples Temperance Union.
John Bishop is quite feeble, and there
are doubts of his recovery. J. J.

KINGSVELLE.

Eds. TeI.-Last Thursday was general
picnic day for the Sabbath-schools. Per-
mission to occupy the same grounds as
last year was refused. About 10 o'clock,
loads of men, women and children, headed
by the band in their coach and four. might
have been seen making their way to the
spot selected. The sun was hid, and the
weather all the more tolerable. The lake
was as smooth and quiet as a mill-pOnd.
Scarcely had we reached the ground before
the symptoms of rain became so apparent
that it was thought discreet to make use
of the enjoyments brought with us, while
an opportunity afforded.
The order of exercises was, therefore,
merged into the sole business of eating.
The knights of the knife and fork, spoon
and fingers, became somewhat conspicu-
Gus. Of course the effect of this was to
put every one into good humOr, and fit
them to take the falling weather with a
better grace. The search for circumstances
of pleasure on the occasion revealed great
er fruitfulness than might have been sup
posed--freedom from dust, and security
from scorching sun; plenty of water dis
titled for our benefit in the clouds above;
the occasion of sympathy and bond of uni
ty were among the more prominent fea-
lures.
The new telegraph line to the station is
now a fixed fact. In time it is expected
that the investment will return fair prof
it.
The hay fever has again singled out its
favorite victims. Year by year its one
sided way of doing business becomes more
apparent. While the disease is an acknowl-
edged scourge, it would seem as if its ben
efits and blessings might have a more gen.
eral distribution, and thus, in one sense,
al least, become more popular, l. would
then be spoken Of more experimentally,
and more definite idea of its character
might attain.
Rev. D. L. Hickock exchanged desks
yesterday with the Rev. Mr.. Nutting Of
Austinburg. Mr.. Hickok will leave the
present week upon his annual three or four
weeks vacation among the mountains and
elevated grounds of Chatauqua, New
Hampshire, &C., where relief from the hay
fever pest is always secured. The two dis
courses from our Austinburg brother gave
general satisfaction.
The High School, under Prof Wilson
as Principal, and Miss Anna E. Cole as
Preceptress, starts off with encouraging
prospects. Sixty-fve-1O or 10 more than
last year-are enrolled. Repairs upon the
building and mating of the aises. and
the reseating of the primary school on the
lower floor. renders things much more sat
isfactory and agreeable. Interest in the
school rather increases. A literary society
has been organized, with C. L. Fox, of
Warren as president, Miss Hattie Benton,
of Kingsville, secretary and treasurer, and
Presley Fickinger, sergeant-at-arms.
A valuable adjunct to the comforts of
North Kingsville has been fitted up near
the station in the form of good supply
of cool water, for the use of man and beast
due to the foresight and energy of
Messrs. Baldwin, Dingee, Freeman, Van
Dyke & Co. @.

AUSTINBURG.

Eds. Isl:-The items sent you last week
were hastily written; stops, paragraphing'
&C., were a little faulty.
The concert in Mrs. Shipman's parlor at
the hotel. was in no respect connected with
the picnic of the colored people, as from
the connection it might have been sup
posed. That concert was a rare musical
treat, and our citizens cannot feel to CRATE
tul to the gifted ones who gave their time
and talents to furnish the entertainment,
and so generously devoting the proceeds to
the ladies' Church Building Fund.
1t is announced that arrangements are
about completed to lift the Church debt.
and to open the new Church to the people
who crowd the old one to its fullest capae-
ity. A week from next Sunday is the
time, as now fixed. Dedication services
will be duly announced.
Two hundred and ten students have ar.
rived so far, and new ones are still coming
every day.
Miss Emma May, graduate of G. R. l.,
is the preceptress. Mr.. ]. Wiswell, who
has had much success in his efforts to per
feet himself as student of penmanship,
under the tuition of P. R. Spencer, Cleve-
land. is the teacher of that department of
the Institute. Mr.. W. was offered a stu
alton and good salary if he would stay and
write with Mr.. Spencer. but previous en-
gagement obliged him to decline the offer.

Attempted Suicide.

by John H. Good, who lives on Centre
street, with his father Jacob Good. For
several years past he has led an intemper-
ate life, but since the Murphy movement
was inaugurated here he gave up his in
temperate habits and became an earnest
worker in the Murphy cause. He kept his
pledge for several months and did much
good among the young men of this place,
but at last his desire for drink got the ad-
vantage of him, and he fell back into his old
ways. Last Tuesday morning he called
upon young lady he had given some at
tent1on, and she informed him that he had
oeen drinking again, and that she did not
care for his company. The next morning,
Wednesday, he purchased small viol of
laudnum and went home, and telling his
mother that he was going to write a letter
went up stairs. His mother followed
shortly after and discovered the bottle of
laudanum IN his possession. Foiled in his
first attempt he made a trivial excuse to go
into another room. when he locked the
door, swallowed the contents of the vial
and laid himself down to die; his mother
gave the alarm to some men who boarded
in the house, who placed ladder to the
window and effected an entrance, Medi-
cal assistance, in the persons Of Drs.
Eames, Jr., and Prentice, was summoned,
which resulted in saving his life; this was
a great disappointment to him and he stat
ed that he would take his life within twen-
ty-four hours.
