Scraps Along the strands.

Last Monday evening Auburn made a
struggle to save the country. The Demo-
Gratis reasoned if they failed they would
perish with full stomachs, like the Baby
lonians at the last night feast Of Belshazzar
This relic of the Chaldeans made feast for
a thousand lords-Auburn must have cal
culated on the same number, for they
ordered a thousand rolls of the Swedesboro
baker. A stray epicure from the Penns-
grove Republican ranks. inflated with beer
or Blaine, only got to crush one sandwich
between his ponderous jaws. The town
was illuminated so grandly that the faces
of ugly old women and beautiful young
ones shone like angels. Amid the gleam-
ing lights and starry windows he saw a
beaming face, radiant as a seraph. He
sought her acquaintance, basked in her
smiles and offered to convey her home,
when. 10! with indescribabe anguish he
learned she was bride. This is not the
first time the goddess of love has lured him
on until lie neared the elysian fields of
welded life. A party from Pennsgrove
passed my home they drank, sang lewd
songs, and did everything else that Wild
half-intoxcated young men are most likely
to do. and We're out So late that the same
biped that warned recreant Peter of his
apostal SINS told the morning hour. So
much for rum quarters.
The Centre Square. Auburn, and Ped
ricktown Democratic Clubs got the Penns-
grove Band at late hour Monday night
and took the Pedrcktown people by storm.
They had grand reception and wound up
with good things given by Sweeten, Stan
ley and Justice. B. 5. r.

the eloquence of Rebecca Travel, of Phil

G. Il. Unions, this noble lady. Her lecture
here was said to be one of the grandest that
we have ever had. The experience of her
life alone is almost enough to make the
vilest yield. Had all men passed through
the experience that this lady has, long be-
fore this they would have joined heart and
hand and crushed to earth this evil mon
ster, intemperance But they do not suffer
and so they sit idly down and say by their
actions 'let it go on" Must are pass
through such an experience before we see
the necessity of acting our part? If SO,
God speed the time" And then, this
dark veil, that has so long hidden from us
our duty, will be rent in twain; then, not
only desolate homes will be made happy,
but our aims houses, penitentiaries and
prisons will be emptied, and the key to
them all, which is rum, will be trampled
beneath our feet

Probably the largest audience ever
gathered at Il temperance meeting in
Woodstown and certainly the largest that
has gathered for any purpose for quite a
time past, assembled in Hunts Hall on
Monday evening to listen to Rev. James
Rogers, of Elmer on the temperance ques-
ton. The meeting was opened with a song
from large choir, volunteered for the oc-
casion, after which Rev. j. w. Clark. of
Sharptown lead in prayer. Mr.. Dan Ware
presided at the meeting and introduced
the speaker, who gave Il mastery address,
full of fine illustrations and witty illusions,
which, at times, set the audience in a
roar, in spite of themselves.
Republicans and Democrats alike had
their record on the temperance question
severely criticised and there is no doubt
that the st. John vote on Tuesday was
considerably augmented by the arguments
SO forcibly and ably advocated by the
speaker. After the address Mr. F. ].
Mulford, of Salem. rendered vocal solo,
and the audience dispersed well pleased
with the exercises and the talk.
Among others present and some ofwhom
occupied seats on the stage, we noticed
