we could organize twenty thousand voters
within year and dictate terms to the parties.
1t is not expected that the Prohibition party
will outvote either of the old parties before
we get what we want. Ten or twenty thous-
and voters SO united and organized as to
move as one man, will put the prohibitory
amendment in the constitution within five
years, and enforce it after it is put there. The
constitution prepared by the central COM
mittee of the Prohibition party for organizing
county unions and township leagues, leaves
the matter of nomination with each county
whether to make nominations, endorse nomi-
nations, or to take no action Surely this is
not very wicked thing to do. 1t leaves the
matter of future separate action undecided.
When either of the old parties are ready to
come to terms and will pledge us openly and
sincerely what we want. it will be time
enough to decide what to do. Until they do
that let there be united, determined, non
partisan effort to show our strength by the
number of ballots we can poll. Stand up
and be counted, and when you are numerous
enough, as you soon will be, you will receive,
as you will deserve, consideration.

He was passionate admirer of beauty, and
he felt irresistably drawn toward his cousin.
The breakfast passed off quite pleasantly.
Mr.. Danforth was we'll educated gentleman,
although at times q trife absent minded.
Still when aroused, as on this occasion, he
was quite laxative. Mrs. Danforth seemed
to have either forgotten or overlooked the
mornings trouble. AS for the young ladies',
Miss Dot and Miss Dimple as they were
called at home, the former quite beauty,
seemed impressed with the idea that to be
considered gentle and ladylike one must ap-
pear ignorant, and appealed for information
accordingly. Miss Dimple, a round-faced,
good-natured young lady, seemed well pleased
with all in general, and herself in particular.
After the morning meal Mr.. Danforth left
for business down town, where he was cashier
in bank.

THE CHECKER BOARD.

BY ALBERT HUTCHINSON.
Your move is next - I raised my eyes,
And looked upon the pair
Who bent above the checker board
And moved the men with care.
A game they had but just commenced;
laid aside my book,
And watched them as they played it through
With interested look.
Across the board in crooked lines
The men were slowly moved,
They crossed each others track full oft;
A risky trip it proved
They jumped each other, when chance
For such move arose,
And many men were taken off;
The game drew to a close.
A few were crowned for their own skill,
passing by the rest,
At last three kings alone remained,
They had come off the best.
The game was DER the neighbours boy
Went home, and mine to bed,
While / sat there and unused upon
The thought to which it led.
Our life is but checkered game,
And many strive to win 4.e
A place above their brothers heads,
And thus they often sin.
For often in their maddened haste
They pass another DER,
Destroying fOndest hopes of his,
Which were SO bright before.
And many are put off the board,
Their race but just begun,
While others skill will help them on,
Until the game is done.
The golden crown by many won,
Is like the boyish game.
For by another's loss twas gained;
In life It's just the same.
The crooked lines! How like their course
Who, in their greed of gain,
Shall sell the cursed drink with which
Their path with blood they stain.
And better far to leave the board
The game but just begun,
Than through another's fall to gain
Position, ere it's done.
There is game we all may win,
1t ends not with this life
And we may help our brother on,
And aid him in the strife.
Not by brothers fall. dear friends,
Can this great game be won,
And those oft win who leave the board
Ere it is well begun.
The prize is not for men of strength,
Or even for the bold;
But he who thinks the least of SELF,
Shall win crown of gold.

SKETCHES FROM cIRcLEvILLE.

BY RENA RAY.
GILT VS.. GOLD.
The six o'clock express was due On it
came, shrieking, painting, with cleaning eye
and hot, fiery breath. How like some terri
BILE demon rushing down upon you. The
ringing of the bell is heard, it Stacks its pace,
and how smoothly it glides into the depot
Among the crowd of passengers is lady.
You can guess it from the graceful sway of
the slender form, to the soft, pleasant tones
that fall on the ear as she stops to make some
inquiry.
You may not profess to be phrenologist,
but does not the expression of her face strike
you as particularly refined and pleasing?
Once outside of the orderly confusion that
reigns within that depot and she engages a
carriage. Let us follow.
On, on with rattle and jolt, from Forty
second street. through block after block, past
stately homes and silent grandeur. Here and
there the gaslight streaming through flmy
lace and plate glass show almost oriental
splendor within. How tempting those richly
spread tables that catch the eye as we rush
by. But let us not forget the occupant of
that carriage.
At last the modern Jehu reins up his horses,
and, after ascertaining the number, opens
the carriage door.
Pardon me- but think it must be a
mistake-the street." she adds.
All correct, madam. Shall assist you Z"
Without further remonstrance the lady
alights and ascends to the handsome, well-light-
ed vestibule silver plate with g Danforth
inscribed upon it meets her eye, and she is
beginning to be convinced, although in her
mind problem is presented and rush of
wherefores arise. She is ushered in by a
neat middle aged woman, who, in answer to
her inquiry, says
''If you PLACE, ma am, walk into the parlor
and the ladies will be down prisintly," and
she is alone.
The atmosphere is rather chilly, in defiance
of the rich, warm coloring of hangings and
upholstery. After finding register she seats
herself, feeling chilled, and, it must be con-
fessed rather disappointed. Her mother, the
last family tie, was gone, and, although hav-
ing means, still they could not supply the
heart longings for that sympathy and atfec-
ton that gives home atmosphere to our
lodgings however humble or pretentious they
may be- So she had written to her mothers
only brother and asked that she might board
with them. Her request had been readily
granted, and SO she had come, as she had
written she would. Had come, thinking she
would find warm welcome, again hear kindly
tones and find sympathetic hearts and friendly
hands. Then, too, having heard of her
uncles very limited MEANS she had expected
to find very humble home. Was she dream
ing No. She was too cold and uncomfort-
able to so far forget herself. But at last
patience had it's reward. A rustling was
heard, and presently her aunt followed by
two daughters, entered the room. Extending
two fingers, she exclaimed:
1t was rather unfortunate your coming
tonight, as we had made previous engage

Why They Failed.

PHILADELPHIA, PA, June l0.-Iloward
d. Thomas & Co., of Hoddlngton, manu-
facturers of woolens have failed. Their
ratings wereat seventy-fye to one hundred
thousand dollars. The depreciation in the
price Of wool is said to be the cause. In
an interview the veteran cOttOn-woolen
manufacturer said; IL have been in the
trade for fifty years and never saw itas dull
as now, Prices are low and there seems
to be no demand for goods" The manu-
iacturers are unanimous in the opinion
that foreign competition, over production
and the free trade agitation caused the
depression.
