And l faint beneath the blow;
How my soul with eager longing
Seeks the g0odly land and blest-
"Where the wicked cease from troubling,
And tho weary are ~ rest"
When the skies are black and low'riss,
Angry waters round me roar.
And the sands beneath arc crumbling,
FROM my weary feet and sore,
Still my Nraipink eyes arc LOOKING
Far beyond the billew's crest
"Whsrs tho wicked cease from troubling,
And the weary are at rest"
Whom the flowers Of hope are faded,
hIlled and dead before they're blown,
Fruits OF pleasure turned to ashes
Ere their Us arc felt or known,
To my soul there ONES sweet Comfort
peace be still! He knowest best,
Soon the wicked cease from troubling,
And tse weary are a. rest
From the loved ones Who arc resting,
Who have passed the "u0lden Door,

From the shining strcoS Of glOly-

And the weary are st rest"

O'er the heart then closed to fear,
And nv head shall sink in slumber-

| Not long ago travelling agent called
at Dobson's house, Carson City, with a
yard sprinkler, 1t was simple affair,
only cost a dollar ard a quarter, and
| when tested on the end Of "a hose could
be stuck any where in the ground. Each
evening the children came in drenched
/ to their skin, we're spanked in due form
and sent to bed, while their garments
were dried before the kitchen stove. The
next thing on the programme was wo-
man attending TO four sick children.
Yesterday the door bell rang and a
solemn man walked into the parlor, and
nnpacking valiSe, remarked
81 presume, madam, that you some.
times have the black winged angel of
death flap it's flyers in this house, eh?"
The lady was forced to admit that
such indeed was the case.
Here is u new style of cntfin plate
especially adapted to the wants of a
tograph of the deceased. Persons looking
at the Corpse can compare the waxy fea-
lures of the dead with the photograph
ic counterpart of living. and judge at a
glance of the injury wrought by the fell
destroyer.
"Ah, yes, you will; they cost bat a
trife and can always be kept ready for
use. You simply tack it on the top of the
coffin. No undertaken objects. l hear a
child cough ng in the next room. There
is death in rha' cough, madame.
The summons of Ariel, the destroyer,
Is at hand. k ow that only last week
you bought a yard sprinkler OF a little
red headed nan in gray clothes | keep
right behind him Every family that
buys a sprinkler needs a patent cottiu-
plate. He belongs to the same firm with |
me-"
The woman controlled her feelings |
to decline, and the man
asked to edirected to the family where
! death was likely to occur. Being di-
'rcted TO a house on the next street
where bulldog was kept in the front
yard, the agent skipped gayly away,

Address, Wilmington. Del.
The Portland daily press. [volume] (Portland, Me.) 1862-1921, 1882-03-20
Rutland, VT. Herald.l


At recent temperance convention at Bur
lington resolution was adopted urging the
temperance men to vote without regard to par
ty considerations, when the interest of temper
ance demands The Burlington Free Press
fairly reminds these temperance men that
their resolution is illtimed and absurd, rs "the
cause of temperance has never got anything
but opposition in this State, or county, or city,
from the Democratic party The Republican
party has given us whatever we have of legal
protection from free rum, and all the public
officers who have ever done anything towards
the repression of intemperanCe, and the misery
and pauperism resulting from it. To break
down the Republican party in Vermont is to
hand the community over to the combined
forces of whiskey and Democracy"
The Free Press sis right, and furthermore
the only result of all Temperance bolts" from
the Republican party has been to give Bur-
lington Democratic representative at Mont
pelier. 1t is always nonsense to break party
lines on the temperance question when the
practical result generally is to increase the leg
islative strength of the party that does nothing
for temperance legislation. To illustrate the
truth of the Free Press statement that the
Republican party is the only efficient political
party that ever does anything for temperance
let us note the following facts; The people OF
Indiana are discussing proposed amend
ments to the State constitution prohibiting the
liquor traffic. The friends of temperance now
ask that the amendments be submitted to the
people. The Democratic editors of the State
met in convention at Indianapolis and voted,
hoping thereby to please the Germans ana me
liquor interest, that it was lnexpedlent TO DO
this The Republican editors next held
convention, and with but one dissenting voice
declared in favor of "the submission of all
questions of changes in the original or auy 9TH
er law of the State to vote of the people, up
on which any respectable number of them
have petitioned for this privilege"
The Portland daily press. [volume] (Portland, Me.) 1862-1921, 1882-03-20
The Balloting To-Day.

The Importance of to-day's balloting
should not be underestimate. 1t is in every
way desirable that there should be an cleo
tion by the people. Republicans can secure
that result by going to the polls and voting.
We believe it to be the duty of all Republic
cans who are anxious to strengthen the par
ty organization and to promote its efficiency
to come out and vote for the regularly nomi-
mated candidate, as we believe it the duty of
all good citizens who wish astrong, energetic
and wisely administered City Government
to cast their ballots for Mr.. Libby. In this
instance, as so often before, the interests of
the Republican party and of the community
are identical. The welfare of the one can
be best promoted by voting for the cand-
date of the other.
Of Mr.. Libby's eminent qualifications for
Mayor there is no necessity for again speak
ing at length. They have been fully and re-
peatedIy set forth in these columns. We
can only repeat, what we have said so many
times before, that in selecting him the city
will secure an officer of marked admininis-
:rative and.executive ability, a faithful stew
ard, and magistrate without reproach. We
trust the Republicans will turn out in
strength and give him the support that is
due to his merits and to the party organiza-
tion that put him in nomination.

CUBAN agitation has again taken on the
form of a movement for the autonomy of the
island, and to meet the attempts of the Sc
cessionists, Spain has conferred upon GEN
eral Prendergast in command dictatorial
powers and the right to suspend all consti
tutional guarantees and statutes. The con-
dition of Cuba thus depends on the dispose
ton of one man, and the slightest indiscre-
ton will bring on very formidable complica-
tions The Cubans have small but infu-
ential party in the Spanish Cortes that SYM
pathises with them, and self-government in
Cuba, similar to England's government of
Canada, is at least a possibility. Sagasta
and the present Spanish cabinet is opposed
to this movement, but his majority is not SO
arge in the present Cortes that it cannot be
dissipated by the adroit tactics of the COM
bined forces of the radicals and conserva-
tives. The great European holders of colo
nies are becoming aware that the only way
to maintain even the nominal adhesion of
these possessions is to grant them the great
est latitude of self-government.
