The Li8u0r Sellers Convention.

The State convention of the liquor
dealers has met, declared the position
Of the liquor interest, formulated
their demands, and the public has al
opportunity to see just where they
stand. Whatever else may be said Of
them and their proceedings, they can
not be charged with concealing their
views, or doing anything out Of con-
siderations Of policy. The temper
ance people Of the state Will now
know Just what they have to meet
and contend with. The issue is fairly
joined, and there can be no dodging.
While the resolutions of the con-
vention were confined to the demand
for the repeal Of the Scott law, some
idea of the general drift Of opinion
among liquor dealers may be gathered
from the utterapces Of one Of the
principle speakers, Mr.. J. J. Hall of
Akron. His radical utterances met
with warm applause" according to a
truthful and unbiased report of the
proceeding, and may be therefore ac-
cepted as the general sentiment of the
convention.
Mr.. Hall declared that drinking Q
beer and whisky is a benefit to the
community, and that it made meil
better morally, socially, intellectual
ly." He declared that the liquor in
terest was being opposed BY The
most terrible clements that ever rai5-
ed themselves in society" and that
''the only hope for the intellectual ad-
vancement of the race and for purity
of character and for love of home was
for liquor men to thoroughly organ

Youth and Age.

The time for action is in our youth.
1t is then that we gather in the grapes.
With freckled faces, sunbrirnt hands
and bare feet we wander from vine to
vine, from trellis to trellis in the very
exuberance of childish glee and spir-
its. In age we quietly sit in the shade,
and while the hours away in CONVEX
sation with our friends while we sip
the wine, which is the better for the
long years which have passed since
the vintage. In youth we should
learn wisdom. 1t is thus we should
SOW the seeds which are to bear fruit
for the future. We should be taught
that PERUNA is the greatest medi-
cine ever discovered, and that it has
worked some wonderful cures. There
is book which can be procured at
the drug stores, which tells you all
about this medicine. 1t is entitled
the Ills Of Life" Ask for it, and
read it through, and then buy PERUNA
and you will never regret it. Send to

HUMAN BLOOD. On the purity and
vitality of the blood depend the yigor
and health of the whole system. Dis
ease Of various kinds is often only the
sign that nature is trying to remove
the disturbing cause. A remedy that
gives life and vigor to the blood, erad-
icates scrofula and other impurities
from it, as Hoods Sarsaparilla un-
doubtedly does, must be the means of
preventing many diseases that would
occur without its use. s I'D by dea' erss

the poet Whittier was read:
OAK KNOLL, DANvERs, MASS,
18th mo. 10, 1888.
My DEAR FRIEND:-I need not say
how gladly I would be with you at
the semi-centennial Of the American
Anti-Slavery Society. | am, | regret
to say, quite unable to crafty this
wish, and can only represent myself
by a letter.
Looking back over the long years of
half century, [ can scarcely realize
the conditions under which the Con-
vention Of 1888 assembled. Slavery
was predominant. Like Apollyon in
Pilgrims Progress" it ''straddled
over the whole breadth Of the way"
Church and State, press and pulpit,
| business interests, literature and fash
ion were PROSTATE at it feet. Our
Convention, with few exceptions, was
composed Of men without influence
Or position, poor and little known,
strong only in their convictions and
faith in the justice of their cause.
To onlookers our endeavor to undo
the evil work of two centuries and
convert a nation to the great renun-
citation" involved in emancipation
must have seemed absurd in the last
degree. Our voices in such an atmos-
phere found no echo. We could look
for no response but laughs Of derision
or the missiles Of a mob.
But we felt that we had the strength
Of truth on our side; we were right,
and all the world about us was wrong.
We had faith, hope and enthusiasm,
and did our work, nothing doubling,
amidst a generation who first despised
and then feared and hated us. For
myself | have never ceased to be
grateful to the Divine Providence for
the privilege of taking part in that
work.
And now for more than twenty
years we have had free country. No
slave treads it's soil. The anticipated
dangerous consequences of complete
emancipation have not been felt. The
emancipated class, as whole, have
done wisely and well under circum-
stances Of peculiar difficulty. The
masters have learned that cotton can
be raised better by free than slave la
Dor, and nobody now wishes return
to slave-holding. Sectional prejudices
are subsiding, the bitterness of the
civil war is slowly passing away. We
are beginning to feel that we are one
people, with no really clashing inter
ests, and none more truly rejoice III
the growing prosperity of the South
than the old abolitionists, who hated
slavery as curse to the master as well
as the slave.
In view Of this commemorative
semi centennial occasion many
thoughts crowd upon me; memory re-
calls vanished faces and voices long
hushed-of those who acted with me
in the Convention fifty years ago
nearly all have passed into another
state Of being. We who remain must
soon follow; we have seen the fulfill
ment Of our desire; we have outlived
scorn and prosecution; the lengthen-
ing shadows invite US to rest. If, in
looking back, we feel that we some
times erred through impatient zeal i'll
our contest with great wrong, we
have the satisfaction Of knowing that
we were influenced by no merely sell
fish considerations. The low light Of
cur setting sun shines over a free,
united people, and our last prayer
shall be for their peace, prosperity
and happiness. | am truly thy friend,
JOHN G. WHITTIER.

A story is told of a young sopho-
more, the newly appointed editor of a
college paper in New England, who,
on his way home in vacation, some
years ago, made the acquaintance Of a
quiet gentleman on a railroad train.
''Englishman, l perceive" /" airily be-
gan our college boy. The stranger
bowed. you must find much to
amuse you in this country. We are
SO very crude; so new!'' said the sop
homore, who was an Anglo-maniac.
''There is one thing, however, on which
| fiatter myself we compare favorably
with John Bull-our newspapers.
The journalists Of this country rank
high, sir, high" Having received a
civil reply, he continued: II am my
self an editor. Like to look at copy
Of our paper?" pulling out the small
sheet from his pocket. Now, you
have no idea-nobody not in the pro-
fession can have any idea-of the la
Dor and mental strain involved in that
sheet. Keep it. There may be para
graph or two in it that is worth con-
sidering, even if it does come from
this side Of the water" His compan-
ion changed his place soon afterward;
and the amused conductor, who had
overheard the conversation, said to the
young man: ''Do you know who that
wasp No" 1T was Mr.. Walter,
