TEE LIPS THAT TOUCH LIQUOR MUST
NEVER TOUCH MINE.

You are coming to WOO me- but not as of yore
For trusted that he who stood waiting me then,
Was the brightest, the truest. the noblest of men
Your lips on my own when they printed farewell"
Had never been soiled by the beverage of hell,
But they come 10 me now with Bacchanal sign
And the bps that touch liquor never touch mine
think of that night in the garden alone.
When in whispers you told me your heart vas
That your love in ,he future should faithful be.
Unshared by another, kept only for me;
OH sweet TO my soul IS the memory still.
OF the lips that met mine, when they murmured
al WILL
But TO their pressure no more they incline,
For the lips that touch liquor can never touch mine
Oh. John. how it crushed me- when first in your face
The pen Of the "Rum Fiend' had written dis
grace"
And turned me in silence and tears from that breath
An poisoned and foul from the chalice of death.
1t shattered the hopes had treasured TO last;
1t daTkened the future and clouded the past
II shattered my idol. and ruined the shrine.
For the lips that touch liqusr can never touch mine
l loved you-oh deaIer than language tell,
BUT the Of my love was far other than he
Who now from the tap-room comes reeling to me,
In manhood and honor so noble and right
His heart was SO true, and his genius so bright
And his soul uastained, unpolluted by wine:
But the lips that touch liquor can never touch mine
You promised reform, but trusted in vain;
Your pledge was made but TO be broken again;
And the lover so false to his promise now,
VIII not, a husband, be true TO his vow.
The word must be spoken that bids you depart
Though the effort TO speak it should shatter my
Though in Silence, with blighted affection pine.
Yet the lips that touch liquor can never touch mine.
II one spark, in your bosom, of virtue remain,
Co fan il with prayer till it kindle again;
Resolved with God helping" in future to be
From wine and its follies unSkackled and free;
And when you have conquered this foe of your soul
In manhood and honor beyond his control
This heart will again beat responsive to thine.
And the lips free from liquor be welcome to mine.

The recommendation to the council
by the mayor for the appointment of q
committee to act with a similar commit
tee outside the council and TO consult
with the officers and directors of the Santa
Fe road, with view to effecting some
arrangement by which the proposed new
depot to be built in Emporia during the
coming season may be located on Third
avenue between Commercial and Mer-
chants streets, should be acted upon
without delay. The almost unanimous
desire of the citizens of the town is to
see the depot constructed on or near the
site OF the present building, and We do
not think that it is asking too much of
the company to regard the wishes and
convenience of the public in this
matter. The disadvantage which would
inure to the town and to the
travelling public by removing the depot
TO the west end Of the town is
so apparent that all who are not person
ally interested in the change will readily
appreciate 1t, and we trust that Mayor
Esstman's suggestion will be taken hold
of IN good earnest by our citizens to the
end that this question may be settled,
and that right early, in favor of the
present location.

Madame Janausohek Coming.

We are much pleased to learn that
Mr.. Jay has closed an engagement with
the great tragedienne, Madame Janau-
schek. who will appear at his opera
house on Monday eveHing, April 18th.
Aside from Risiori, who is the recOg-
nized queen of the tragic stage, this
country has never seen the peer of the
distinguished lady who has once hon.
ored Emporia with her presence and
whose temperance is announced above.
Her repertory includes Marie Stuart,
Macbeth. Medea, Cheney Void, Mother
and Son, Deborah, and other standard
dramas, in which she has achieved the
most distinguished success. Unaided
by personal graces, and having to ac-
quire by patient toll knowledge of the
English language, she has gained her
commanding position on the roll of the
worlds great histrionic artists by the
force of genius with which but few,
indeed, of her contemporaries are en-
dowed.
We have not learned in what play
Madam Janauschek will appear in
this city, but we feel secure in venturing
abe prediction that Emporia will honor
herself by according to this distinguish
ed lady 3 reception worthy of one who
has commanded the homage of the civ
ilized world.

To all who have ever heard any of

bring Us nearer to the realization Of our
fondest hopes
Miss Grants essay was listened 20

Our friend "Dorcas" says that prairie
flowers are in bloom. From the looks
of the weather this morning it must have
been the last rose of summer. Our
equinoxial storm came to hand yester-
day and last night, and sleighing is
again in vogue this morning Several
parties in town have already made gar
den, and il lies buried beneath six inch
es of snow. Six years ago the winter
was similar to this one, very mild and
pleasant throughout, and about the 10Th
of March we had severe snow storm.
The summer following the farmers were
blest with bounteous crops. We hope
the comparison may prove true the
coming summer, so far as the farmers
and crops are concerned, at least.

Commonwealth: The .sAmericaa
Electric Company of Kansas have Sc.
cured the exclusive right to use all the
patents. some twenty in number, con-
trolled by the American Electric Light
Company of New York City, in the
State of Kansas and in the cities of ST.
Joseph and Kansas City, Missouri.
There is now no doubt of the successful
use of electricity for the purpose of arti.
fetal light, and although only a short
time has elapsed since it has become
firmly established, its use is becoming SO
general that city or village of any size
without electric lights Is far behind the
age. The city of Albany, N, Y, is sub
shutting electricity for gas, and one who
has not seen streets lighted by electricity
would be greatly surprised at the bril-
liancy OF il. The incandescent lights
are adapted for residences and public
buildings, and are as easily managed as
a gas Jet, in fact much easier. The sim
pile turning of q switch strikes the light
as well rs turns ON the current-no
matches are needed. The absence of
heat in the sultry and hot nights is an
other great advantage. There being no
smoke, no dripping lamps, and no dirt
are other advantages.
The American Electric company of
Kansas is a new corporation. bat no one
viii question its success with such men
as Mr.. @. C. Wheeler, Senator p. B.
Plumb, Col. T. ]. Peter and others at the
head OF it. The National Loan and
Trust company have been appointed
financial agents of the company, and are
authorized TO receive subscriptions for
q limited amount OF the treasury stock.
The investment can hardly miss being n
good one Emporia has already applied
for "rights" and apparatus, and undoubt-
edly many other Kansas towns win soon
follow the example of Topeka.

"The Americans" says George A.
Sala, summing up &c observation of a
hurried trip, care not a coHvivial people,
in one sense of the term. They may be
gregarious in taking drinks all around
but they drink standing, rapidly, and oft
en- silently, and then hurry away from
the bar; while on the bar itself are
placed little bowls containing coffee ber-
ries, or aromatic lozenges, by chewing or
sucking which topers are able to dis
gcise the odor of alcohol In no other
country in the world does such curious
ly hypocritical custom as this obtain;

deceit, which systems Of prohibition or
partial prohibition or local option have
