American Girls.

The Christian at Work, thinks that
one of these days the American
girl may wake up to the fact that
she is doing herself the greatest
wrong in declining the service Of
respectable Christian families
where she might have comfort
able home, turning that branch of
labor over to the tidy German and
Irish, while she lives on the pit
lance wrung from the hard earn
ings of a slaves life at the factory.

Good Words from our Wheeling SIS
tcrS.


This Union is doing very eff
cient work under its accomplished
President, Mrs, Charles Hutchin-
son.
The Union has been working
hard to establish a Friendly Inn
in the city. We think that hun
dreds of men and boys working in
the mills and factories might be
reached and saved through its
friendly influence.
Our State President holds Cos
pei Temperance meeting every
Sunday afternoon at Parker's Hall
which is exceedingly interesting
and very profitable. The exercises
consist in free conference, recita-
tions, addresses and soul-stirring
music. The meetings are largely
attended by young men of the
city.

SECOND LETTER.
Last Sabbath our State Presi-
dent held New Years service at
Psrker's Hall. The hall was filled
with an interested audience, most
ly young men. The leader of the
meeting, after few explanatory
remarks on the nature of the ser
vice, turned to Mr. S. C. Baylitts,
President of the Union, and made
a warm congratulatory address, at
it's close, presenting him with a
very handsome copy of Gods
Word, saying that it SO fully an
swered the idea Of the work done
each Sabbath afternoon at this
hall, a Gospel Temperance work.
The President responded in a
few well chosen, but very touch
ing words, comprising his five
years of sobriety and prosperity
with his taoe,aty years virtually
in the gutter. [ felt, as listen
ing to this testimony that this
work which is so dear to our hearts
was indeed receiving the blessing
that maketh rich and addeth no
sorrow Herewith.

An Appeal !
Of the Woman's Christian Temperance
Union to the Fathers, Mothers and
Households Of Keyser.

We are approaching the Holiday
season that is usually spent in fes-
Invites. The remembrance of the
event that is celebrated is suffici-
ent to excite Joy in every heart.
We cannot rejoice too greatly over
the Advent of the Savior of the
World. There is, however, a prop
er way in which to express our joy.
Whilst we are glad, it becomes US
not to run into extremes, and thus
destroy our happiness. This is
frequently done by making the
Holiday season one of licentious-
ness and Bacchanalian revelry.
We earnestly entreat the head OF
each household not to offer to any
one Intoxicating drinks, eren aDine,
during the Holidays.
Let each remember that the glass
they give may be the first that
shall infame a love for the Destroy
ing exp Or the last, that forever
puts the impress of the drunkard
on the one who drinks.
Father, mother, see to it that
your son, and daughter does not
learn to drink at home Be espec-
tally careful that you do not thrust
sword through the heart of your
neighbor, by leading astray their
son or daughter.
Let it be said to the credit of our
pleasant Mountain Village, when
the Holiday season is past, that the
drinking of intoxicants was wholly
discouraged.

Come. wife, dear woman. and sit by me,
For the toilsome daN is done.

With the setting of the sun.
Ay. give me your hand. my patient love,
That my own may clasp 1t tight;
Not dearer 1t was in the years agone,

Old and wrinkled 1t may be- dear,
But look you. wift at the shine
Of the ring that has cluug to your finger there
Since the day that made you mine.

But Time, be he ne'er gray,
Can never tarnish the Iustre dear,
OF the pledge of our wedding day.
Fen so the truth of faithful love,
Born far in the auld lang syne,
In our efeadfast hearts, through veal and woe,
Never has ceased to shine.
There are tears in your ewes. my wife, might;
You are thinking dear, know,
How strange 1t is that AS shadows fall

In the twilight, dear. of life.

When shall we meet them, wife?
Nay, dry those tears and be glad with me
That the day Is almost done.
