Another Temperance Issue i'm Ohio.

The Republican party of Ohio would
be very foolish to sacrifice itself for the sake of
these temperance fanatics. Temperance legisla-
ton is ancient fraud, and it is not worth while
to expend more time in patching it, for it is an at
tempt to apply an impossible medicine to an in
durable disease Cincinnati Commercial

THE CRAZE OF ROLLER SKATES.

THE CRAZE OF ROLLER SKATES.
The Pinafore" its course has run.
Like many another craze;
The Fifteen Puzzles" day is done,
Like many other days.
Not long the public twirls its thumbs,
AS patiently it waits
For something new; directly comes
The reign of roller skates.
In every park, on every street,
The city's girls and boys
Have tightly strapped upon their feet
The rolling patten toys;
And SO they slide along, in all
Varieties of gaits,
And never fear that they may fall
When wearing roller skates.
They skate to school and back again.
Across the streets they glide,
And all the grown-up people then
Must quickly step aside.
In vain we frown, or sneer or smile,
Until the boom abates,
And crazes of a different style
Rub out the roller skates.
But while its course the mania runs.
AS all our manias do,
Have patience with the little ones,
To whom the sport is new;
And pray that they may never break
Their tender limbs or pateS.
Nor suffer any pain or ache
From wearing roller skates.
