For a woman to put herself thus in the way.
Go back to your closets to weep and to pray!
We are peaceable men, TO the world be IL

Ii the quarrelsome women will let US alone.
Go back to your parlors: work lamp mats and
lace,
study etiquette, elegance, fashion and grace;
Don't bother your heads about justice and
right,
Be passive, and patient, and be out of sight;
If rumseIlers ruin your husband and home,
If your hearts break with sorrow or turn into
stone,
our funds are invested pray let us alone.
Go back to your kitchen, strive early and late ;
Economize, plan, spread the table and plate
And if one cometh not sit down quiet and
sit down in the shadow and bde the times

But don't modest us-we're such peace loving
men,
We have called you by all the hard names We

We have led your sons down the back stairway

We have mixtures unheard of on low, hidden
shelves
We will see that men drink them: you can't
help yourselves:
You may bring in petitions well worded and
strong,
With a list of bold signers both honored and
long;
They bear no more weight than AN idle street
song.
You can't oppose strength by a woman's weak
moan
Business men are our friends yon must let us
alone
co back to your homes nurse your little ones
there:
set them holy example, and when they bid
fair
The fondest of hopes to your bosom will burn,
But when from your fold to the great world
they turn,
We will spread our fine meshes and snare their
young feet,

MIR. EDIToR:-The writer was present at
both of the temperance meetings held III
our town on Sunday, Jnly Goth, and greatly
enjoyed them. One question | would like
to ask: In the morning, at the Methodist
church. Mr.. Ballard made no allusion what
ever to the Woman's Christian Temperance
Union, although the wife of the pastor is
one of our vice-presidents. In the evening
at the Baptist church, the W. c. I. I. was
most favorably mentioned, and designated
as the right hand of the Alliance. Was
there any meaning in this?

To THE MoNIToR:-Yo our issue of July

as agent, and the policy of the New Jersey
State Temperance Alliance, leads me to ask
what may be your policy when you are
called to duty at the polls?
In the same paper you copy from the
Lecer an article headed Lose your Vote
also some quotations from the Temperance
Gazette The former says: standby Rev.
A. E. Ballard, the Alliance and the old par
ties The latter: Break away from the old
parties, vote for principle, and you will
not lose your vote.
can but believe you of the w. {. I. l..
of Woodstown, with your vast army, led
on by your great leader, Miss Frances E.
Willard, are all right on this question.
The policy of the Alliance is a thing of the
past: its followers are few; it has done its
work. The watchword now is. ''mdependent
political action" We have tested the old
parties-they will not serve us; they can
not; they are both rum parties. The Chi
cago conventions settled that.

for this county to assemble on the 10Th, 2

The spirit of the Pittsburgh convention
has rolled over the entire country. This

its meaning and force.

A BRIDGE .sTORY.

The papers have revived a story, and ap-
piled it to a railroad bridge builder, that
during the war used to be told of somebody
at every army or corps headquarters on both
sides. In effect. the story is that the head
bridge-builder at Grants, or Shernans, or
Rosecrans or Stonewall Jackson s.
wherever the narrator located the incident
was rough, unlettered man, but of great
skill and energy. One day he and the
Engineer officers were called upon to eX-
anime a place for which bridge must be
provided Immediately. The Engineer
officers retired to their tent to make the
drawings, and he set his man to work get
ting ready. After awhile lie poked his head
into the headquarters tent and said:
"Jineral, I've got the bridge built but
the officers hain't brought me them picters
yit.'
We presume this story has been told of
somebody even since men began to build
bridges for armies to cross on, and it seems
pretty fair anecdote to pass on to the next
generation. The boys of the old Tenth
Corps, operating around Charleston and
along the coast generally, used to have the
best bridge story There was sent down to
them with the rank and title of Brigadier-
General, one Of the veteran Instructors of
West Point, who desired to have a little
field experience. 1t became necessary to
build bridge somewhere in his bailiwick,
and he prepared a set of plans that Were
the admiration of the Engineer Corps.
But the first time regiment tried to cross
it, it fell, They rushed back to him with
the news.
General, your bridge fell as soon as q
as company marched on to it.
