Beware the bowl! though rich and bright
Its rubies flash upon the light,
An adder coils it's depths beneath,
Whose lure is woe, whose sting is death.
WHISKY often makes man a fool.
THE %drunkard's wife is seldom happy.
WINE wakes the demon in the human
breast.
WINE is sweet at first, but it has a bitter
farewell.
THE world is full of promise to the young
who avoid strong drink.
I~NTEMpERANCE renders a man unfit for
business, and incapable of enjoyment.
THE brightest and most cultivated intel
lect often falls q victim to strong drink.
The Templar does not impoyerish his
home by indulging in. costly revelries with
his friends.
He who never. let's the cup pass his lips,
may enjoy the hope of a peaceful hour in
which to die.
lie who INDUCES in what he calls his
'morning bitters," is on the highway to a
d~lunkard's grave.
THE Ternplar should have a clear head,
an honest and sympathetic heart, and a
ready helping hand.
LADIES, do not indulge in the social glass
withyour gentlemen friends if you do not
want drunken husbands.
THE Good Templars Order in the Terri
tory, we understand, is in a very prosperous
condition. New members are being added,
and unusual harmony exists.

just below the Point of Rocks, a half mile,
IS inc home OF MIR. John Mailey. Mr.. NJ.
mas a snug little farm, upon which he is do
ing a wholesale gardening business. Mr..
M. is a wagon maker by trade, but has not
followed the business since he. left the old
country. lie finds more pleasure in farm
ing than working at his trade, ORR mining.
and has decided to settle down to this occu-
patton.
Here we crossed to the north side of the
Jefferson, and called upon Il number of
farmers, among which we remember j. w.
Linder, Geo. Helbig, c. Swarnstrum, and
Chris. Darmetzer. Each of these gentlemen
have we'll improved farms and homes. Mr..
Dafnltzer has a farm on both sides of the
river and we met him on the north side
where he, in company with a number of his
neiglibors, were cutting a large ditch, with
a view to enlarge his farm.
Next on our route, on tie south bank, we
called on Mt q. Williams, but as he was alb
sent from home, we extended our Journey a
few miles further down and called upon Mr..
j.. w. Brook. Mr.. B. and his partner, Mr..
Mowery. have a herd of cattle numbering
about 600 head, among which are some
choice animals. One, a three-year-old bull,
shows the best points for a first-class thor
oughbred that W. have seen, his only fault
being that he is under size. lie was sired
by Charles Beehere's Old Duke, his mother
being from the same animal. He is, there
fore, what may be termed an in-and-in bred
animal. This probably accounts for him be-
ing small, as his sire and dam are very large
and handsome. Messrs. Brook & Mowery
we found to be practical farmers, and gen,l-
inc gentlemen.
Just across the river, ,andla short distance
below. we visited the house of Mr.. G.. w.
Wheat &c Bro. They have a most excellent
and we'll improved dairy farm. They, too,
are bachelors, but things about their dwell
ing looked tidy and in good shape. They
have the reputation of making the best but

handing an extra price among their regu-
lar customers.
Out nearer the hill, we paid Mr.. D. L.
Eldred a call. He, too, has a nice location,
and is still improving it by adding more
acres, new fences, and irrigating bitches to
his farm. Mr.. e. and his partner are large
ly interested in sheep-raising, and have 2,0OC
head which they have taken on shares, from
Poindexter &sOrr. Their flock were graz
ing some distance away, and we did not see
them. WILL.

His Pathetic Article.
From the Detroit Free Press.

On the Bay City train coming
down yesterday was a passenger
whose strange actions drew the at
tention of every one in the car. He
had newspaper in one hand and a
handkerchief in the other, and he
would read for minute or two and
then turned away and weep. After
this action had continued for some
time one of his fellow passengers ap.
preached him and tenderly remark
ed:
"My friend, you seem to feel sor-
rowful."
$50 do" was the choked reply
"Have you had some great be-
reavement?"
"Not very lately. l was reading
pathetic article In this paper and it
called up old recollections." )"
''Let me see it," asked the gentle
man, and taking the paper he found
that the article commenced with:
"All persons are forbidden to trust
my wife after this date, as she has
left my bed and board" and SO forth.
He didh know what to say in re-
ply, and as he handed the paper back
without word, the grief stricken
man, remarked:
81 haven't been 80 affected for
fifteen years."
"Why, what has this to do with
you!" was the surprised query.
eth there's fond wife turned out
on-on the world" replied the weep
er; "no home, no cash no credit
Poverty drives her to sleep in a barn.
During the night she rolls Off the
hay NOW, strikes on the fanulng-
mill and breaks her neck and is found
dead the next morning. The hus-
band and seven children gather
around the body, and-and-bnt can
you imagine that scene and no,
weep? Lend me some of that tobac-
co, and leave me alone with my
grief. l feel like a spring break up,
and know its better for the system
than quinine."
They stood back and let him
grieve, and he didn't seem to get
over 1t bit until he saw dog fight
on the platform at station. That
entered his soul like a ray of sun
shine, and as the train moved on, he
stood up and said:
"Ill bet anv cadaver in this car,
IS that the wall-eyed dog gets lick
ed"
