He seemed innocent childlil1e, confiding:
That youth who snapped horses with me:
But I've known of such mild manners hiding
Duplicity frightful to see.
And horse trades horse trade. Each
party
Is always supposed to intend
To be crooked. | therefore was hearty
In trying to keep up my end.
And he lied like the mischief, I knew it,
About his brown 5-year-old mare;
Why, wondered, sir, how he could do it
With such frank, innocent air.
For my own part l make no pretension
That all that told him was true;
What is more, l neglected to mention
Some outs my horse had that knew
But horse trades horse trade, remember
The day is supposed to be cold
AS the coolest we get in December
For him who turns out to be sold
Well, we traded, and, would you believe me,
I've found out by driving the mare
That the youth didn't try to deceive me-,
But told the thing honest and square.
I had beat him like blazesi Howbeit
My conscience is clear, understand;
If l lied you have got to agree it
Is just what our customs demand.
But I've pondered deal for week on
The matter. Pm anxious to see
Just what particular sort of deacon
That youth has discovered in me.

[Arkansaw Traveller
An old man who had for years been
strict church member, and who had done
much effective work for the cause of tenn
perance, was found lying by the roadside the
other day in state of intoxication. He was
drawn up before a committee of the church
and asked to show cause why he should not
be communicated
II acknowledge that was drunk, breth-

fur it,

was little too proud to pray with fervor.

Halstead's sketch of John swintou

If one could imagine Horace Greeley with
black eyes, and a countenance varying in a
second between expressions ofsparkling levity
and fanatical seriousness, with worldly air
of knowing too much to be of any use, he
would have vision of the eloquent radical
who generally tempers the devilment of his
doctrines so as to do but little practical mis-
chief, and who has the happy distinction of
being always faithful to the work for which
he assumes responsibility.

a QUESTION FOR THE TOWN COUNCIL.

QUESTION FOR THE TOWN COUNCIL.
There is question connected with the
administration of justice in the munich
pality of Shepherdstown which some of
your readers would like answered. 1t Is
this: What right have the Town Council
to bring to trial and fine and imprison
any one this year for getting drunk? Last
year it was contrary to law; there was no
license. This year one comes here and
does the very thing the majority of the
voters 1T the last election determined
should be done, and behold! the Council
with the exercise of no earthly right ex-
cept that OF power fine or put him in jail
therefor.
The voters said, in fact, at the last cleo
ton to all: "Come, you who thirst for
drink; 60 no longer to Charlestown, Mar
tnsburg and Hagerstown; We will allow
you to drink here under sanction Of the
law. Last year We were free from
drunken men and midnight revelings, but
we can not stand such a state of mora lily.
1t keeps money away, and that is worse
than having boys and young men beset
with all the temptations Of free liquor"
Doubtless some who voted for lawful
liquor would deny that the vote meant
any such invitation To the public, but fol-
lowing local option, and judged at the bar
of common sense and justice, it must mean
nothing less. Taking common sense and
justice as the judge, while last year it was
contrary to the law for any one TO sell or
buy in town, the Council hal right, be-
yond the mere power, to line for getting
drunk; but under the present system
buy whisky. The lawmakers then have
not the shadow of right in equity to put
in Jail and fine amy man who merely gets
drunk-if he smashes no windows, if he
shoots nobody, cuts nobody, but merely
makes night hideous with his efforts to
turn tune, and does nothing worse than
beat his wife or kick his child, there being
no law against these auusements. Under
the present license system we hold that
the rights of large and growing class Of
citizens are most outrageously violated
whenever the Council presumss to kne
any one for merely carrying brick in his
hat. If they give him the right, through
their agents the whisky sellers, to put the
brick there, what right have they to object
to his carrying it! That's the question.
