JOHNS WIFE.

a young wife stood with her hand on her broom
And looked around the little room:
Nothing but toll forever" she said,
From early morn till the light has fled.
If you only were a merchant now,
We need not live by the sweat of our brow"
Pegging away, spoke shoemaker John:
q" We ne'er see well what we're standing on"
A lady stood by her husbands chair,
And quietly passed her hand Ter his hair:
You never have time for me now she SAID.
And a tear-drop fell on the low bent head.
IF we were only rich, my dear
With nothing to do from year to year,
But amuse each other-oh, dear me!
What a happy woman / should be-"

A diamond cleaning on her breast;
Nothing but toll for fashion," she said,
It'll ! sometimes wish that were dead,
If might cast this wealth aside,
And be once more the poor mans bride"
From his easy chair, spoke gentleman John:

GET THE BEST.
The Philadelphia Times,

The people generally get that which they make
market for. They demanded better newspa-
made rapid strides. The Times, which, from the
day of its first ISSUE took place in the front rank
of progressive journalism has kept along at the
double-quiclS step, and at this time is better
newspaper than ever. 1t is a Journal that never
sleeps and never takes holiday As there are
3Gj days so there are 3G5 issues of me Times in
year. The week day edition of The Times is of
four pages, being in form suitable for the busy
man or the busy woman. The Sunday edition, of
eight pages, contains great deal of the best mis-
ccany us we'll as all the news. The editorial
strength of The Times need not be dwet upon
the fact that it is quoted more than any other
paper in America is sufficient evidence of its ex-
ceence in that direction. Nor need the typo
graphical superiority be more than mentioned
for it is widely known as "the handsomest paper
in the country"

ROBERTS WILKIN.
Big Wedding.

sUoARrREE BmaE, o., Sept. 10, 1888.
Quito a wedding party assembled Thursday
evening, August 80, at the residence Of God
frey Wilkin, the father Of the bride, to witness
the marriage Of Mr. Charles Roberts and Miss
Marie Wilkin. The ceremony was performed
at 4 o'clock p. m, by Rev. DR.. Starr, Of Hills
boro. The attendants, Mr.. Isaac Roberts, and
Miss Mary Wilkin shared the congratulations
with the bride and groom. After the congrat-
ulations came supper, which was superb
affair, as the eighty guests who partook would
willingly testify. The party was highly enter
tanned with music by different persons. On
Friday, Aug, 81, the happy couple started on
their wedding tour, visiting Niagara Falls, the
Canadian shore, Buffalo, Cleveland, and Co
lumbus At the latter place they spent several
days at the State Fair. Mr. r. and his bride
returned homo Saturday, Sept. 8. On Sunday
grand dinner was given by Mr.. Perry
Roberts, the father Of She groom. There were
present about one hundred and forty persons.
The afternoon passed away very pleasantly
every one seeming to enjoy themselves very
much. At about 4 p. m. the company began TO
disperse, leaving many good wishes with the
happy pair. We sincerely hope they will enjoy
a long and happy life and may the honeymoon
continue till the spirit returns to the God who
! gave IT, "CmcKEr."

well.known fact that eighty per cent. Of
the crime pauperism and insanity is direct
ly or indirectly caused by tho liquor traffic
A few Sundays ago, a temperance lecture
was delivered in the chapel Of the Ohio
Penitentiary. There were /, 400 convicts
present, and when the speaker asked those
who had been led to their crimes by iutem-
perauco to raise their hands, it was found
there were 1, 100 out Of the whole number.
Mr.. Gardner then spoke Of the rapid
growth Of public sentiment in favor Of
Prohibition as the only effective remedy
against the liquor traffic. He referred to
the prohibitory amendment in the Consti-
tuition Of Kansas, and to the prohibitory
laws in Maine, Georgia, Florida aud other
states 1t was said that these laws were
not fully enforced, but the same might be
said Of the laws against oil other crimes
He had letters from prominent citizens Of
Maine, which proved that there was not an
open saloon in that State, aud in Kansas it
vas almost impossible to obtain liquor to
be drank on the premises. He believed
the time had come when the people Of
Ohio were determined to put a stop to the
liquor traffic, and felt confident that the
Prohibitory Amendment would be adopted
by decided majority. This was great
moral question rising far above party, and
Democrats, Republicans, Greenbackers and
Prohibitionists would oil unite in support
Of the Second Amendment, while each al
the same time voted for the candidates oi
mis- own party.
In conclusion, Mr.. Gardner made au
eloquent appeal to the ladies to induce
their husbands. fathers, brothers and son,
to vote for the Amendment and even TO go
with them to the polls If necessary to zee
that they did 30.

We clip the following from the New Yorl


We clip the following from the New York
Independent;
One Of the reasons why the sturdiest
temperance men in Ohio need not go into
any new organization this year is because,
irrespective Of parties, they have the best
opportunity to vote for prohibition by con-
stitutioual amendment. Que Of the pro-
posed amendments provides distinctly for
total prohibition, aud we heartily hope il
will be adopted Let US have q test il
Ohio, and SEQ if public sentiment is ready
for it. We believe it is. Total prohibi-
ton, really carried out, will be loss to the
States treasury from license fees but II
will be a much greater gain to the States
wealth, If the public sentiment will not
vet support total prohibition, then let us
have partial prohibition, and all the tax
and fine of the business that can be i'm
posed. But now honest voters of all par
ties have the opportunity in Ohio to vote
for prohibition without eudangering party
interest. The question hos been put above
parties. Democrats, Republicans and
Greeubackers can vote their own tickets
and then vote for prohibition. Let it be
underMood this year prohibition need not
offend auy mans political prejudices. There
is no politics in prohibition. 1t is simply
a matter Of good citizenship.
