WOMEN AND WINE.

a writer in Scribner's Monthly uses
the following strong language, which
will be responded to by the women
who have suffered all over the land:
"Ot the worst toes that women have
ever had TO encounter, wine stands al
the head The appetite for strong
drink in men has spoiled the lives OF
more women-ruined more hopes for
them, scattered more fortunes for them,
brought to them more shame, sorrow
and hardship-than any other evil that
lives. The country numbers tens OF
thousands-nay, hundreds of thousands
of women who are widows to-day, and
sit in hopeless weeds, because their
husbands have been slain by strong
drink.
Yes, says the "Agricultural World,
there are hundreds of thousands Of
homes scattered all over the land, in
which women live lives OF torture, go
ing through all the changes OF suffer
ing that liz between the extremes OF
fear and despair, because those whom
they love, love wine better than they
do the women they have sworn 10 love.
There are women by the thousands
who dread to hear at the door the step
that once thrilled them with pleasure;
that step has learned to reel under the
influence of the seductive poison.
There are women groaning with pain,
while we write these words, from 5ruis-
es and brutalities Inflicted by husbands
made mad by drink. There can be no
exaggeration in any statement made
in regard to this matter, because no
human imagination can create anything
worse than the truth, and no pen Is
capable of portraying the truth. The
sorrow OF wife with a drunken bus
band, or a mother with drunken son,
are as near the realization Of hell as can
be reached, in this world at least. The
shame, the Indignation, the sorrow, the
sense OF disgrace for himself aud chill
dreD, the poverty-and not uufrequent-
ly the beggary-the fact OF violence,
the lingering lifelong struggle and
despair of countless women with drum
ken husbands, are enough TO make
all women curse wine, and engage
uuitedly to oppose it everywhere as the
worst enemy of their sex.

JEFFERSON COUNTY, WEST VIRGINIA. SATUR
LOOK UP, NOT DOWN.

Life TO some is full of SORROW
Half Is real, half they borrow;
Full OF rocks and full of lodges,
Corners sharp aud cutting edges.
Though the joy bells may be ringing,
Not song you'll hear them singing;
Seeing never makes them wise,
Looking out from d0wncast eyes.
All in vain the sun is shining,
Waters sparkling, blossoms twiping;
They but see through these same sorrows
Sad to-days and worse to-norrows,
See the clouds that must pass over;
See the weeds among the clover,
Everything and anything
But the gold the sunbeams bring.
Drinking from the bitter fountain,
Lo your mole hill seems mountain.
Drops of dew and drops Of rain,
Swell into the mighty main.
All in vain the blessings shower,
And the mercies fall with power.
Gathering chaff, We tread the wheat,
Rich and royal, meath your feet.
Let it not be so, my neighbor;
Look up as you love and labor.
Not for one alone woes vials;
Every one has cares and trials.
Joy and pain are linked together
Like the fair and cloudy weather.
May we have, oh, let us pray,
Faith and patience for to-day.

dead woman held clinched in her hand
a bunch of hair corresponding in color
and all to the hair of the Jackson girl.
A further examination revealed finger
marks on the throat of the murdered
woman, for now it was evident that the
woman had been murdered. Still closer
examination revealed blood marks on
the floor, and a puddle of blood in the
yard Just outside of the door, which had
been concealed by some stones beng
piled over it. Still further examination
revealed blood stains on the bed, and

on it was found in the yard. The other

They had carried her in the house, laid
her III the fire place, and placed the

The evidence that Naomi Jackson
was party to the murder is as plain as
circumstances can make, for since, her

The next time they were invited none

General Washington was 30 very

friends who were expecting him al a

arrived, all concluded that their watches
must have got wrong; sure enough they
had, for Washington soon came, and

habits of punctuality helped 10 make
