IT would be marvellous, indeed if in the
temperance movement now agitating almost
every community in the land the latent
embcrs of poetic fire would not be set aglow
in natures of an emotional cast. The writer
of the following lines who, in his youth,
evidently went his pile on the ''bob-tail
nag" has, in his maturcr years, applied the
melody of his favorite song to verses of his
own composing, in aid of the greatest re-
form Of the times. We do not publish them
because of the beauty of their dicton, the
rhythmic flow Of the lines, or the graceful
imagery of the poet; other poets have
covered the same ground, and it should
give no Oiftnsc to our contributor to suggest
that some people would prefer the efforts of
others to his own. Aiinishcd poem is not to
be had for the asking, and this is not
finished poem; but the sentiments con-
veycd, although expressed in the form of
II paraphrase Of II sporting dirty, come
out of the fulness of the heart and the
emptiness of the head:

The samples Of wheat on exhibition ut
the City National bank yesterday were
gathered from along the lines of the Illinois
Central and Narrow Gauge roads in this
end of the State. They confirm the reports
already published in these columns MS to
the fattcring prospects of the yield. The
damage from rust will be of very little, if
any, consequence, the specimens referred
to bearing out what is now beyond doubt
an established fact-that the stalks of the
wheat are uninjured
"A special meeting Of the Hibcrnian
Fire Company was held last night to ratiiy
the contract then pending between the
building committee of the company and
Henry l.. Kinncar and Henry Dunckcr.
The contract is for $3,2673s to complete
the building according to plans and speci-
iications, and it was ratified by the meeting.
The Hibcrnian Fire Company is one of the
live organizations of Cairo, and this ven
ture speaks well for its condition and for
the judgment and enterprise of its members.
If some arrangement could be made
which would enable people along the line
of the Cairo and Vinccnnes road from, say
Carmi or Harrisburg south, to come to
Cairo, transact their business and return
hone the same day, good thing would
be done for Cairo, for the road, and for the
people mentioned The officers of the COM
pany by putting on such train would de-
serve and receive the gratitude of the pub
lie. The New Orleans, st. Louis and Chi
cago road runs such train from the south
west of us into Cairo, and it is found to
be of convenience and advantage to the pco-
pie.

WHATIT DID.
[rrom the Youths Companion. j

[From the Youths COmpanionl
The word that changes bad mans life is
generally a surprise, whether it comes in an
ordinary or an extraordinary way. God is
always behind the accident that startIes u
sleeping conscience.
Many years ago, wealthy Virginia gen.
tlemau set out in his carriage for the City of
Richmond, to attend grand horse race-a
regular Old Dominion Derby Day" He
was man of pleasure, without any religious
training, brought up to a life of idIeness aud
seli-indulgence, supporting his wealth on tie
labor of his slaves, and employing his time
chiefly in horse. racing, cock fighting and
the varieties of iu. door gambling then fasL-
ionable among men of his class
He had entered three trained horses for
the Richmond races. and expected to win
largely on them. But the journey to the
Capital was, a long one, and having no cons
pany but his black driver, he grew lonesome
aud restless. Passing a country store. he
stopped and inquired of the proprietor if he
had any novels to sell.
Novels! What are they ?" said the ig-
noraut store keeper.
"Why, books, of course"
81 have no books but spelling books and
some Bibles"
anything was better than the torture Of his
languid spirits. He must divert bis mind.
~ can't read spelling books" he said,
laughing. Give me a Bible"
And with the sacred volume in his hand,
he rode on, reading. He had never read
the Bible before. By-and,by he flung the
book angrily down, mutteripg to himself,
That's the biggest lie ever printed ~
He soou, however, found that reading was
better than thinking. and took up the book
and began again. He continued TO read
until he reached the city he read in his
hotel room till supper, and after supper till
bedtime, and roso carly in tho morning and
re:d till breakfast
Then he went to the race grounds, with
drew his horses, paid his forfeit summoned
his ostlers and driver, and started for home.
Arrived there, he burned his cards and all
his gambling apparatus, killed his game cocks
to make a supper for his servants, aud, call
ing all his family around him that night,
set up an alter TO the Lord in his household
that was never afterward broken down.
From that time his zeal in acts of faith
and deeds of piety was as remarkable as his
devotion TO sinful pleasure had been. He
built n church on his plantation, and often
took active part in its Sabbath and evening
service, exhOrtng others to the peace of
God which had blessed his own soul. His
death, after years of usefulness, was one of
Joy and triumph.
He had son, on mhom his later example
made a saiutary impression, and to whom the
brightness of his last moments was like q
CLEAN of Heaven. That son became known
in history as Chief Justice RuGin, Of Viz

Il love you better than tongue can tell;''
Then she teased and pouted full half the day.
Till her mother rtjoiced when she went to play.
Il love you mother" said little Fan;
To-day I'll help you all can:
How glad am school doesn't Eeep!'
So she rocked the babe till it fell asleep.
Then, stepping softly. she fetched the broom.
And swept the floor and tidicd the room;
Busy and happy all day was she.
