PROHIBITION IN EDWARDS COUX.
TY, LII.

Here is budget Of facts from
Edwards county, ILL.,, which will
prove interesting reading. The
clerk of the Circuit Court of that
county has nude search of the rec
ords and says : "There has not been
a licensed saloon in this county for
over twenty-five years. During
that time our Jail has not averaged
an occupant. This county never
Sent but one man to tha peni;e eltiI-
ry, an1 that man WAS sent up for
killing his wife while drunk, on
whisky obtained from a licensed
saloon in an adjoining county. We
Lave but few panperS in our p)0r
house, sometimes only three or four.
Our taxes are 33 per cent. lower
than they are in adjoining counties
where saloons are licensed. Our
people are prosperous, peaceable and
sober, there being very little drink
ing, except near GRANVILLE, a licens-
ed town of White county, near our
border. The different terms of our
Circuit Court occupy three or four
days each year, and then thu d,ck.
cts arc cleared. Oar people are So
well satisfied with the present State
of things that q very large majority
of them would bitterly oppose any
effort male in favor of licsnse, un-
der any circumstance.

The next day she did not come TO
school. She was worse again, the
scholars said. She had come out too
soon, the doctor said, and relaps
was the consequence.
llmtense cared not. She felt In
her heart that Lulu had murdered
her sister and hated her worse than
ever. ..
1t WAS twilight, and Hnrtense
had been out gdtherinn wild nOwers
and digging up violets TO plant on
her sisters grave. II was growing
late and the graveyard Was lonely
! place but what cared she for that?
She was no coward and she walked
in among the white tombstones
cleaning in the moonlight without
Il shudder. But ms she drew nearer
Maud's grave she started. Surely
she saw something move. She hest
tated, then resolved to go forward,
and there, lying Oh the ground WAS
Lulu Allen. She was dressed only
in her night dress and her pale face
looked palrr, shrOuded us 81 @ was in
her fair hair. She was moaning
sadly, you are gone. You were
the only one that loved me and |
killed you" Then sobs and groans
would Interrupt her words. She
did rot see IIortcnse till suddenly
she looked up.
"Oh, do not send me away !" she
said, wildly. 81 did not mean to
kill her How could | want to kill
the only one that loved me ? Let
me stay! Do let me stay !" and
she clung to Hortense's dress COLI
vulsively.
Lula Allen, how came you
| here 2" was all that IIortenSe could
say.
~ c0ull not rest, l could not
sleep, till had asked Maud to for
give me for poisoning her, so came
here, and by and by l shall rest
with he: down in the groun d." and
she buried her face in the grass as
if she would seek shelter with Ter
friend from the harsh world.
Hortense knew that she was wild
and delirious and her heart smOte
her for the wrong she had done her.
There by her sisters grave she
could not retain her old animosity.
Her own tears flowed faster than
Lulu's had done.
God forgive me ~ cried she,
falling on her knees by the side of
the grave. &c d forgive me my
sin toward you, Lulu Allen Come,
Lulu . dear Lulu Maud'S Lulu :"
she said, as Lulu neither stirred nor
m wed, bat lay PROSTATE by the
grave. Lulu heard her nOt-She
was with Maud in IL brighter aud

The rest of the events Of that

known where the dead Lulu lay, or
how she reached home herself ; but
from that night she WAS uAIi&e her
former self. 1t WAS bitter lesson,
but one that she never forgot /; and
as the plrw share Of afliictiOI route
up the strong weeds OF pride and
hatred from her heart, SD i'll their
