Tie Downfall of Dncktown.

Pride goeth before destruction aud a
naughty spirit before a fall.-PrOUerbs
1913.
These are the words of one so wise,
Which is now presented before your
eyes,
Aud if you will notice things at all,
You'll know it's so by Ducktown's fall.
Fol- in the morning of her day,
Lake Babylon in fine array,
She seemed to look so very bold,
Dressed In her fine linen, her purple
and gold.
And like the cedar of Lebanon so tall
That she hardly noticed her God ut all,
But constantly spreading her wings OF
pride
She tried to spread 1t far and wide
And as she spread 1t with a loud voice,
Causing all fools to greatly rejoice;
God his angry face did show,
Which indicated what he would do.
But she was SO much like the pea cock
old,
In haughtiness Of pride she grew more
bold,
That she thought II was the devil, her
faithful guide,
And OF curse she strutted more In her
silly pride.
But all ut once there came a squall,
Which Is the cause eff her downfall;
So her spirit seems to be very low
While her tail feathers are scattered 10
and fro.
Now gentlemen and ladies, all,
"A I've written this rhyme on Duck
towns fall
/ have not written 1t for n big name
But In hopes 1t will some OF you re-
claim.
For / am trying to feed you on the
word,
Aud Turn your hearts to my blessed
Lord;
Now take these simple words / give
And turn to Christ and you shall live.
Now don't shake your pride at this lit
tie rhyme
For God light come to you in time,
TO give you Il much greater fall
SO you would not rise at all.
Now, / beg you, take it to your heart,
For | don't think it's long till we shall
part,
But trusting to meet you all in that
bright cline
| will quite writing for this time.

Cleveland CornorntIon.

How any good citizen of Cleveland,
who wants protection to his property,
aud to his wife, daughters and children,
and nj the same time feels an interest
In the morals and welfare aud prosper
ity of the city, can desire their charter
repealed aud abolished, is II question
often asked, and u mystery not easily
solved. Our charter Is II Of the very
best In the State, and is so framed that
II is we'll suited and adopted 10 a small
city like ours Under il the corpora
ton ~ be run OIL a very cheap scale.
1t only requires about six hundred
dollars Annually to pay or It's officers,
the salaries being wholly insufficient
TO support any one officer, and he has
TO look to other sources TO make a sup
port. The city streets, alleys and side
walks are In reasonably good condition.
The city Is almost out Of debt. When
the taxes Of 1878 are collected, which
will DO within the noIt two months,
there will be enough to pay all the
debts Of the city and still leave q sur
plus In the treasury. II Is believed
that no city, under any charter, a
say this much. A tax was assessed In
1873 Of 10 cents on the $1,000 worth of
property for the purpose of getting en-
tirely Out Of debt. SO hereafter 1t will
require not more than half that sum,
and perhaps much less, to u the cor
poration. Then who wants to abolish
the corporation, and what forf 1t Is
certain IL It be abolished that the
streets and alleys and sidewalks will
cease to be cared for, and at once begin
to go down, and everybody's property
will go down in the same proportion.
The morals of the town and county
will cease to be guarded, and public
drunkenness, fighting and swearing
and blackguardism, and crimes, will
be the order of the day. and be commit
ted with impunity. 1t may soon be-
come unsafe for country ladies to come
to town to do their shopping ond ira
ding alone, and perhaps be unsafe for
our own wives and children and
daughters to pass the streets on public
days alone. As it is the corporation is
almost 4 protection to every ones
property and to all our wives, daugh-
tiers and children. Let every good man
and woman pause and reflect, and con-
trast the two positions, and surely no
one will want our corporation abolish
ed. 1t is u fact, that many Of our citi-
Gems who signed the petition to abolish
did it under a misstatement of facts or
a misrepresentation OF the financial
condition of the city, and nov regret
that their names are to it. 1t would be
much better for all to forget the past,
and return to reason, and let all work
together in harmony for the public
good, and do it in a Christian spirit,
and the result will he that all will
prosper and be blessed. Let lis try that
