The woman's temperance movement
in Illinois has assumed gigantic pro-
portions, and the labors Of those en-
gagged in it are untiring aud euthusias-
tic. or the work in Peoria. the fair city
that in our childhood seemed to Us TO
contain every element Of earthly grand
eur, Mrs. +. c. Hibber reports as fol-
lows: Peoria lies under the shadow Of
nine distilleries, with $50 saloons. Oh,
there are some hearts in that city
that have been beating aud throbbing
with a great desire to see Peoria's bad
reputation somewhat outdone. There
are to-day 400 people in Peoria that
have put their names to this pledge,
aud we have, perhaps, one OF the most
vigorous reform clubs in the State, and
some 5000 women who have set their
names to that pledge, and who are in

WORDS FITLY SPOKEN.

The discussion called out by the army
bill in Congress last week was such a
break In the monotony Of Congressional
proceedings as to remind one Of the old
days when an imperiled country spoke
through her most eloquent sons, words
Of warning, entreaty, exhortation and
eKpOstulatiOn to the turbulent spirits
who would fain have dismembered her,
even by the rough, red hand and rum
bling diapsson Of war. The pending
question was on the amendment Of Mr..
Blaine, United States Senator from
Maine, to the army appropriation bill,
prohibiting the appearance within one
mile Of a pOlling-place Of any person
armed with a deadly weapon. He
showed clearly by facts and figures in
disputable that there is no foundation
whatever for the cry OF military des-
potism" set up by the southern men,
bers, and denounced in unmeasured
terms the spirit ofthe boast that certain
legislation must be brought about or ap-
propriations to carry on the necessary
departments Of government would not

N A DILEMMA.


We have some thought Of Issuing a
supplement devoted to rejected poems
Shelley defined poetry as "the happiest
thoughts Of the happiest minds" Much
Of the matter our supplement will
contain, if our rash thought Of issuing
such an one be not timely supplanted bv
wiser after thought, will reflect dis
mally upon the happiness Of the authors
thereof. In fact, with all our long and
varied experience, We had no idea that
the world contained so much yIoomv
misery as the collection Of "poetrvn in
our waste-basket foreshadows. iudging
It's authors by Shelley's definition. We
are at a loss to know whether TO publisb
'heir poems just as they are and disgust
the public, or prescribe a mild spring
medicine, PLUMBERS Blood Purifer,i
ior instance, to start the sluggish blood
oi these poet-tasters into more health
iul channel and disgust them, or patch
the ehusions up and render them passa-
Die to our own infinite disgust. Itisa
weighty question, aud we will take
time to consider further before attemnt-

II is an exquisite and beautiful thing
in our nature, that when the heart is
touched aud softened by some tranquil
happiness or afiectionate feeling the
memory Of the dead comes over il most
powerfully and irresistibly. It would
almost seem as though our better
thoughts AMI sympathies were charms,
in virtue Of which the soul is enabled
to hold some vague and mysterious in
tercourse with the spirits of those whom
we dearly loved in life. Alas! how
often and long may those patient angels
hover above US, watching for the spell
which is so seldom uttered and so soon
forgotten.
