whether the horrible traffic in mems

if so, on what terms. Communities

Don't Lend Your Cigar.

The Pittsburgh Dispatch says that a
man of letters was smoking and chat
ting with physician on a Hudson
River ferryboat when a stranger stepped
up and asked for light. "Let me
give you a match" replied the man OF
letters, adding, after his petitioner had
withdrawn: II don't know how you
feel about it, doctor, but for my part
very much dislike to put the end of my
cigar back into my mouth after it has
been fingered by Tom, Dick and Harry,
| always carry matches with me, and
make it point to offer one of them in
stead. " "And quite right you are, +"
said the doctor. II believe that some
of the worst diseases can be conveyed
by one man to another through the CON
tact of his fingers with borrowed
cigar. personally know of a case
where varioloid was transmitted by
means of a two-dollar bill, and / firmly
believe that varioloid and things much
worse can pass from mans fingers
into cigar and thence into the smoker

Temperance Reading.
"FOR GODS SAKE, SAVE THE
BOYS!n

A hard drinker of many years said, as he
signed the pledge: "Twont do any good:
can't reform; it's too late; but, for Gods
sake, save the boys! Miss Nelly Bradley.
Like Dives in the deeps of hell,
can not break this fearful SPELL
Nor quench the fires I've madly nursed,
Nor cool this dreadful raging thirst
Take back your pledge, ye come too late;
Ye cannot save me from my fate,
Nor bring me back departed joys,
But We can try to save the boys.
Ye bid me break my fiery chain,
Arise, and be man again,
When every street with snares is spread,
And nets of sin where'er tread.
No. / must reap as did SOW,
The seeds of sin bring crops of woe;
But with my latest breath I'll crave.
That we will try the boys to save.
These bloodshot eyes we're once so bright
This sin-crushed heart was glad and light;
But by the wine-cups ruddy glow
traced path to shame and woe.
A captive to my calling chain,
I've tried to rise, but tried In vain;
The cup allures and then destroys,
Oh from its Jhraldom save the boys!
Take from your streets those traps of hell
Into whose gilded snares fell.
Oh! freemen, from those foul decoys,
Arise and vote to save the boys.
And We who license men to trade
In draughts that charm and then degrade,
BEFORE ye hear the cry: TOO later'
Oh! save the boys from my sad fate!

An HUMBLE CONFESSION.

Who is that little woman there,
With laughing eyes and dark brown hair,
And physiognomy so fair?
My wife.
Who's not as meek as she appears,
And doesn't believe one-half she hears,
And toward me entertains no fears?
My consort.
Who wakes me up on every morning,
About the time the day is dawning,
My protestations calmly scorning!
My spouse
Who marks my clothes with India ink,
And darns my stockings quick us a wink,
While | sit by and smoke and think2
My frau
Who asks me every day for money,
With countcnanee demure and funny,
And calls me pretty boy" and "honey?"
My little woman.
Who runs this house both night and day,
And over all eXerts her sway;
Who's boss O this shanty, anyway?
My better halfl

A CHILD of twelve years came to
school one day with tears, entreating
us to go to her home. Her excitement
was so great we went at once, and be-
held scene too dreadful to describe.
1t was drunkard's home. The father
lay upon the floor helplessly drunk and
had fallen upon the floor, cutting his
face, which was covered with blood.
The mother, so intoxicated she could
scarcely stand, was holding an iron
poker in her hand and threatening the
lives of the four children, from three to
ten years of age. Such is the result of
rum selling and rum drinking! the
curse of our land, and the cause of most
of the wretchedness, want, suffering
and crime we see among us! Oh! for
the power to remove it!-AdUocGtE and

A brook that sings a song

Stretching toward the west,

Two coaches, one four and the 9th
six-horse, arrived with the eastern
mails that have been delayed by
washouts on the railroad for seven or
eight days. Several days mails from
California also arrived. The block
ade on the Wood River branch had
not been raised, and no mails have
arrived from there since early last
week. Never before in the history of
the country had communication with
the outside world been cut off for so
long a period. The batch Of news
received is overwhelmingly large as it
is startling, Floods still destroying
life and property. Several hundred
people in houses and cut off from
help by the fearful storm OF wind and
rain, on the Ohio, with no hope of
escape. A great blizzard cutting
along the Mississippi. Fearful storm
in California with damages to the
Southern Pacific estimated at $1,000,
900. A tornado in North Carolina
and Georgia destroyed a million dol
lars worth of property, 5000 houses,
and 400 or 500 lives. Fire-damp ex-
plosion in Pennsylvania coal mine
kills twenty men. An average of 20
inches of snow in Oregon, going off
with warm rain, with fears Of great
freshet in the Willamette river, be-
sides snow storm and slides in the
Territories, important foreign events
and casualties, political moves in
the coming presidential campaign,

Of the delayed news. Verify, 1884
