Saloons Worse than Mad Dogs.

The Jackson, o., Standard has a
practical talk on the liquor ques-
ton, which from the circumstan-
ces, number of saloons, &C., might
equally interest a Parkersburg au-
dience, 1t says:
"Why tinker with the effect,
while leaving the cause untouched ?
Suppose the doctors should intro
duce smallpox into a community,
in order that they might make
money off of the afflicted, and the
patient asses, the people, should
talk about providing hospitals for
the patients How would that
sound? Suppose the doctors would
refuse to check the spread Of the
plague, because it would check
their business and take bread out
of the mouths of the undertaken, the
grave-digger, the tombstone manu-
facturer, &c. What would you say,
and think?
Now is there man living who
wauld not rather see his son scared
allover with smallpox than to see
him blistered with beer? Would
he not rather see his son die of
smallpox than to see him die of de-
lirium tremens?
Suppose twenty-six men should
each turn a mad-dog loose in the
town of Jackson, and the people
should cudgel their brains how to
provide hospitals for those who
might be bitten. Would they not
rather kill the dogs, andpunish those
who turn them loose? If there were
no law to punish fiends, the people
would find way to the nearest
tree, with a good stout rope, and
make short work of it.
Could twenty-six mad dogs cause
one-half of the misery, death, deg
radiation and expense that the
twenty-six doggeries Of Jackson
cause?
1t is about time that thoughtful
people began to think sense, and
talk sense, upon the subject.

work given her to do by her Mas
ter, she will conquer. The sensual
must be brought into subsection to
the spiritual. The Church in her
capacity as spiritual teacher must
do that. In her capacity as being
combination of citizens; these
certainly must be taught that men
who obey God must not hold allie
glance to party above allegiance to
God and duty to man. They must
use their ballots to offset the liquor
dealer. Their love Of homes and the
protection of their families must
be arrayed against his love of mon
ey. This is the work of the church !;
will she do this in the future? If
not we have a failure, and our coun-
try is destroyed. | believe God has
a purpose to be accomplished by our
prosecutions. If we take hold of the
matter with the energy that should
characterize us, it will save us from
ruin and sorrow"

In Bereavement.

1t is of little use to tell one in the
soreness of bereavement that he has
ten thousand comforts left. Every
heart knows that. But the longing
heart goes away after one that is loSt,
and for the time forgets the dear
ninety and nine that are near
Instead of buying submission by
such offices, it is better to thinkot
the Infinite wisdom of Him who
doeth all things will who does not
afiict willingly: who will not lay
upon his children one grain Of bur-
den more than his grace will help
them to bear and who will certain
ly cause the darkest providence to
issue in the highest good Of them
who love and trust him.
This does not forbid US to mourn
Grief mingled with grace is
wonderful help to the happiness OF
holiness. 1t is the good Lord, our
Father and Savior, who sits as the
refner of silver, and watches to see
his own image reflected in US when
the process is complete. We pass
through the fire. Our hearts are
melted in it. But we are not con,
sumed. If the dross is driven OIL
and we are more pure, it is all well,
and more then well. Now, no trial
is for the present joyous. 1t makes
US mourn. Tears are not sllS'
Tears are no signs of weakness
It is often great strength to have
a good long cry. The relief IS
help. Terrible is the state OF them
who grieve and can not weep Lev

And then out Of the deep WaveIo

enough to take down the signs, and
close the front doors. at least, OF the
whisky saloons, if the business is
only made unlawful; and this pub
lie Sentiment will grow and become
strong more rapidly until 1t shall
close the back doors, penetrate INTO
the dark cellars, and hunt the vile
business out of every vile corner OF
the community.
Much is gained when the bust
ness is driven from public view. 1t
not, then the saloon keepers are
fools for spending so much money to
get into the public places, and to
advertise their wares. Their busl-
ness must be increased by their
coming into the public places, and so
it cannot help being decreased by
being driven out Of the public
places.
There is not SO much need of pub
lie sentiment as there is of public
backbone If all the people OF
Charleston with positive sentl-
ments against these vices, who are
inclined to sit still and say, eve
can't do anything" would only
stiffen up their backbones and try
to do something, they would soon
find that these efforts were not in
vain. AS Christian and moral peo-
pie, we owe a duty to society. We
have no business sitting still, while
these dens of iniquity are engaged
in ensnaring and running the
young.

An Old Mans Sad Plight.

David Gorrell, known all over
Berks county, Pennsylvania, as the
oldest Blue Mountain hunter, was
recently found half frozen and al
most dead in the little cabin remote
from civilization in which he has
prolonged strange existence for
more than half century. His
custom has been to purchase every
autumn, in the nearest village a
stock Of provisions, and to disappear
with them to the mountains, where
he remained unseen all. winter.
People passing his cabin week or
two ago saw no smoke arising from
it, and on the following day, MOTTO
ing the same circumstance, they
broke in and found Gorrell, now
nearly seventy years of age, lying
more dead than alive on a bed of
skins. He refused to leave his
cheerless habitation, declaring that
he wished to live and die in solitude.

ED. FREEMAN Having seen
items in your paper from this sec

This little town is near the center
of the county, and is beautifully
situated on a hill in the bend of the
creek, Twelve Pole, with an outlook
over the rich farming country sur
rounding it.
Trout's Hill has a nice Church,
Sunday School, and (usually)
preaching twice month. 1t has
several stores but no saloons.

last week,
Trout's Hill has much to be
thankful for, but it's greatest happi-
ness is doubtless in what it hasn't
got. Several stores and no saloons,
is a good thing to be able to say, and
the last part is even better than
the first.

License Law.

The License Law says the County
Court shall not grant a certificate
to obtain a license to sell liquor to
any one, who is. in the habit of be-
coming intoxicated &c. Our last
County Court granted the certifi-
cate to a man who is almost con-
tinually drunk. He has been seen
drunk since the license was grant
him. He is the same person who
was indicted thirty.fre times at one
Court in Richie county, for selling
liquor contrary to law. And yet,
the license apostles tell the people
that to license, is the way to manage
the traffic. Did you ever know one
to be refused by any Court or au-
thority, that was in favor Of or in
sympathy with the business in any
shape? Nosuch case has ever come

following words may be spelled /:
