Let me paint for your readers
two pictuaes, then let them take
their choice.
INTEMPERANCE.
A home in which happiness
never exists; a community where
both Gods and mans laws are set
at defiance, with murderers,
thieves, scoundrels and imposters
on every hand with ragged chill
dren, bloated husbands, sickly,
downcast women. Farms half Gull
tivated and animal poor and I'M
provided for; jails filled, paupers
plenteous; poorhouses overrun !;
criminals on every hand and Gods
commands scoffed at
TEMPERANCE.
Well cultivated fields, on whose
grass the fattened cattle and horses
feed in contentment; and on whose
soft carpet the merry children are
at play. A real and comfortable
home, where Gods words have a
meaning and are obcyed; hus-
band who realizes the worth of his
happy wife, and loves his we'll
dressed children; community
where the jails are almost empty /;
no paupers on the streets-and only
the goodly poor in the almshouses.
The churches are filled with silent
worshippers, and contentment, joy
and prosperity go hand-in-hand
through the entire year, and every
man lives at peace with his neigh
Dor.
Which is the more pleasing and
desirable, and which shall we have :?

Nail City Notes, with Mounds
vile Notes Added.
WHEELING, July %, 1883.

WHEELING, July %, 1883.
DEAR FREEMAN Il suppose this
city has as good police regulations
as any city of its size in the United
States, i. G. according to the num-
Der of the police force! Still we
have disorder. Still, drunken men
will stagger along our streets.
Neither the fear of the law nor the
certainty of being arrested if they
become boisterous. deters them
from drinking that which intoxi-
Gates. Our licensed saloon keep
ers, men Of good moral character,
(save the mark are not allowed to
sell to minors nor to habitual
drunkards, and yet somehow all
classes get enough to intoxicate.
This will be the case high Ii
cense or low license. So the only
sure plan is prohibition. This will
stop it and do it etfectually. The
whisky men know that the people
of our State would vote for prohibit
ton, and hence they are willing to
spend their money freely to pre-
vent the measure from coming be-
fore the people, There are men
here in Wheeling who are daily
drinkers, too. that would vote for
total prohibition all the time.
Such men are so far gone that they
either cannot or at least do not re-
sist the temptation to drink and
are sensible enough to know if it
were not sold they would not get
it, are anxious to reform but have
not the moral courage to do it with
the temptation within their reach.
But | did not intend to moralize.
The Register tried to make point
from President Thompson's talk
about high license, l was present
and heard his talk from beginning
to end, and [ endorse every word of
it. I did not understand his words
to have the meaning given to them
in the Register. My understand
ing was as follows: Give us pro-
hibition if possible, but if not, give
us high license. Anything to
throttle the monster, Although he
did not say so l inferred that he be-
lieves high license to be better
than the unrestricted sale. | would
be sorry to think that President
Thompson is in favor of license
from principle.
| met Rev. Grogan on the street
to-day. His heart still beats right
in the cause, May he ever con-
tinue his good work.
They have temperance Mayor
in Moundsville, and although he
could not stop the licensing of
saloons, he'proposes to make them
pay for breaking the law. The
young son OF one saloon keeper
purchased whisky from another
saloon. Mayor Weaver fined the
saloonist selling the whisky ten
dollars and cost, Although the
father Of the boy sent word to his
Honor that he allowed his boy to
drink. ..
All good men uphold the Mayor.
He has backbone, though the fates
seem against him.

Hints for Poor Young Men.
Poverty No Disgrace.
For the FREEMAN.

For the FREEMAN.
The working people, who live
within their income, and are not
harra ssed by debt, are the happi-
ess class OF people. The young
man who possesses a strong consti
tuition and good morals, has within
himself the elements Of wealth.
The man who labors is the useful
man. All live by him. What
young man could not lay by, of his
earnings, ten cents per day. This,
invested att per cent. compound
interest, for fifty years, amounts to
S14,S3775.
But suppose a young man has
credit, and instead of saving, he
spends one cent per day beyond
his income; this will inevitably
bring him into trouble, and with
out a radical reformation, will
make him pauper, and he will
probably die in poor house.
Therefore, every young man
should study economy. He should
cttrtail all unnecessary expenses.
If he learns to smoke in his youth,
and continues to Old age, he will
puff away in smoke enough to buy
d good farm. And in addition to
this he will have stained teeth,
foul breath, and the smell of tobac-
co on his clothing. If he follows
treating, even to candy and lemon
AIDE, he will spend considerable
sum. If he INDUCES in intoxi-
cants, he can never be anything
but poor miserable wretch.
Therefore let intoxicants severely
alone. Alcoholics contain nothing
that can build up and strengthen
the system. They are only mock
ers and deceiyers. The wise will
not be deceived by them.
STUDY ECONOMY IN CLOTHING.
A good suit is one that is paid
for and that covers person of con-
tented mind, and heart at peace
with God and all mankind. Don't
make debts without being sure you
can meet Cnem promptly. One
who cares but little whether his
debts are paid or not, is dishonest,
no matter what his professions are,
1t IS a sorrowful hour for any
Young man when he decides on
making money otherwise than by
honest effort. Therefore don't buy
lottery tickets. A habit of trading
watches, horses, &C., discovers
disposition not strictly honest.
DON'T MARRY IN HASTE.
Don't marry in haste, and repent
at your leisure. Don't marry un-
less you have something laid up
for a rainy day-and not even then
unless you can find some one
sensible enough to live contented-
ly on your income, and who will
never run you in debt.

The Somerset herald. [volume] (Somerset, Pa.) 1870-1936, 1883-01-24

II. d. TArs, Fsq, of Bedford, has
been appointed chief clerk in the
office Of the Secretary of the Com.
monwealth. Mr.. Tate is capable.
clever, and suave, and will discharge
the duties of the Office admirably.
But il strikes US, that in this day OF
Democratic reform, agenileman who
has a year OF two of his third term
as Prothonotary yet to serve, should
not have an additional Office thrust
upon him. He cannot serve two
masters at one time, and we presume
he is not the only Democrat in ihe
State with the requisite capacity to
fill the. position tesvhich he has just
been appointed.
