LITTLE ADVICE to SalOOn Men.

The saloon men who are urging the
repeal of the Sunday ordinance should
read the story of Rip Van Winkle,
and then make a personal application.
Don't these men read the papers, and
have they not discovered that the
tendency Of the times is towards a re-
striction instead Of an enlargement of
their privileges? Heretofore the Dem
ocratic party has stood between them
and prohibitory legislation, but in the
light of later-day voting, even Demo-
Gratis are getting weary of that kind
Of business. Don't saloon men have
sense enough to see that in this age of
the world, they can't bull their busi-
ness and overawe popular sentimentp
Don't they see that every aggressive
step they take only stirs up greater
opposition? Ii, therefore, saloon men
will be controlled by discretion, they
will seek to allay public feeling in
stead of aggravating; they will acqui-
esce as far as practicable to state and
municipal law, instead of running
counter to them. Suppose, for ex-
ample, our Sunday ordinance is re-
pedleu, Gue cueCG OI SUCH al outrage
would not be confined to this city
nor Ross county, but it would be felt
all over the State. Saloon men are
simply cutting off their noses, when
they attempt to carry their measures
with high hand.
They labor under another very
great mistake, in imagining that their
business is just as respectable as any
other kind of business and entitled to
all of the rights and privileges of such.
Such an opinion is not held by the
masses of this country. But the very
opposite is the case. Therefore, al
though in this city the privilege of
keeping open house on Sunday, has
been almost uninterrupted for years
and years, nevertheless saloon men
will be worsted in the end should they
again force their doors open, in spite
of the public sentiment that prevails.
A wise saloon man will conform to
the law, close his shop like other peo-
pie, and strive to divest his business
of its obnoxious features.
lie you keep on with such foolery,
the time may come when you will es-
TEEN it privilege to keep your sa-
looms open week days, much less Sun
DAYS.
The Jackson standard. [volume] (Jackson C.H., Ohio) 1847-1888, 1881-06-09

THE Portsmouth Blade gives the
following account of some of the dew
lis work in Portsmouth. The people
of that city no doubt are earnestly
against any measure to suppress in
temperance:
On Saturday August Volmer, living
near the Catholic Cemetery, went
home drunk and brutally beat his
wife. The first blow was with a glass,
which cut CHASTITY wound over her
left temple, severing the temporal ar
terry; the second blow was delivered on
the back of the head with boot-jack,
making another very bad wound.
Crazed and delirious, the woman ran
for her life. A young man with. an
express being near, and seeing her
condition, helped her into his wagon
and brought her in all haste to the
residence Of DR.. Raschig, who minis
tered to her wants until it was possi-
BILE to remove her to the residence of
her brother, Joseph Horning, Esq.
Mr.. Volmer should be indicted. by the
next Grand Jury for striking with in
tent to kill. A man that will make
such an assault upon woman, and
that woman his own wife, ought to be
sent to the penitentiary for life. We
would not put it past such brute to
murder.

THE AGUE.

Once upon an evening bleary,
while sat me dreaming, dreary,
In the sunshine, thinking over
innings that passed in days of yore,
While nodded, nearly sleeping,
Gently came something creeping,
Creeping upward from the floor.
- lis a cooling breeze" muttered,
From the regions meath the floor;
Only this, and nothing more"
All distinctly 1 remember
1t was in that wet September,
When the earth, and every member
Of creation that it bore,
Had for weeks and months been soaking
In the meanest, most provoking,
Foggy rain that, without joking,
We had ever seen before;
So L knew it must be very
Cold and damp beneath the floor
very cold beneath the floor.
So sat me, nearly mapping,
In the sunshine, stretching, gaping,
With feeling quite delighted
With the breezes meath the door,
Till felt me growing colder,
And the stretching waxing bolder,
And myself now feeling older,
Older than 1 felt before;
Feeling that my joints were sitter
Than they were in days of yore,
Sitter than they'd been before.
All along my back the creeping
Soon gave slace to rustling, leaping;
As If countless frozen demons
Had concluded to explore
All the cavities-the varmints-
'TwiXt me and my neither garments,
Through my boots into the floor;
Then l found myself a-shaking,
Gently shaking more and more,
Every moment more and more.
Twas the ague; and it shook me
Into heavy clothes, and took me
Shaking to the kitchen, every
Place where there was warmth in store;
Shaking till the china ratified,
Shaking till the morals battled;
Shaking, and with all my warming,
Feeling colder than before;
Shaking till it had exhausted
All its powers to shake me more,
Till it could not shake me more.
Then it rested till the morrow,
When it came with all the horror
That it had the face to borrow,
Shaking, shaking as before.
And from that day in September
Day which l shall long remember
1t has made diurnal visits,
Shaking. shaking; oh, so sore!
Shaking off my boots, and shaking
Me to bed, if nothing more,
Fully this, if nothing more.
And to-day, the swallows fitting
Round my cottage see me sitting
Moodily within the sunshine,
just inside my silent door,
Waiting for the ague, seeming
Like man forever dreaming;
And the sunlight on me streaming
Casts no shadow on the floor,
For | am too thin and sallOw
To make shadows on the floor,
Naught of shadow any more.

admirable subject for study to our in
