Getting IN the Air.

Whether you arc in favor OF the
temperance movement or opposed TO
it, whether you are a prohibitionist,
there is no use to close your eyes to
the fact that the principle embodied
in these movements is making rapid
progress in public favor in Fayette,
as well as in many other parts of the
State. Two months ago the idea
that it would amount to anything
here was hootcd at, but to-day We
find a prohibition society, a temper

That the one grand object contem
plated by all three organizations is
destined 10 play no insignificant

that it will be live. active issue in

THE CHILDREN.

Found on the desk Of Charles Dickens after his
death.l
When the lessons and asks are all ended
Aud the school for the day il dismissed
Aud the little ones gathered around me
To bid me ''good night" and be kissed
oh, the little white arms that encircle
My neck in tender embface!
oh, the smiles that arc halos Of heaven
shedding sunshine and love on my
faces
And when they arc gone sit dreaming
OF my childhood, too lovely to last;
OF love, that my heart will remember
When it wakes TO the pulse of th'
past,
Ere the world and its wickedncss mad,
inc
partner Of sorrow and SIN,
When the glory of God was about me-,
And the glory of gladness within.
oh, my heart grows weak rs q woman's
And the fountains of feeling will How
When | think OF the paths steep ant
stony,
Where the feet of the dear ones mus
OF the mountains of sin hanging o'el
them,
OF tho tempests OF fate blowing wild
Oh, there's nothing on earth half so holy
As the innocent heart of q child.
They are idols of hearts and of house
holds,
They are angels of God in Disguise
His sunlight still sleeps i'll their tresses,
His glory still beams in their eyes;
Oh, those truants from earth and from
heaven,
They have made me more manly and
mild,
And know how Jesus could likcn
The Kingdom of God 10 u child.
Seek not q life for the dear ones
All radiant, "a others have done,
But that life may have just enough
shadow,
To temper the glare of the sun;

But.my prayer would bound back to
myself;

But sinner must pray for himself.

Arkansas, Texas and others of the

Let It Alone.

LET liquor alone and it won,
hurt You" is an old lie which We
may safely conclude the Devil put
into circulation, for no sane man or
woman would hardly have the alria
city to tell so bale-faccd a false
hood.
That mother had let whisky alone,
but her heart was broken because
her son drank it and committed
murder.
That wife had let it alone, vet, her
husband maddened by it, plunged a
knife into her heart.
Those children had let it alone,
yet they were turned from comtor
table home, out upon the cold char
tiles of the world as beggars because
father drank and spent his for
tune.
Liquor will hurt you whether you
drink it or let il alone. II you drink
at all you may be ruined for life and
for eternity. If you let it alone, YOU
may be crushed to the earth with
shame and sorrow because of the
ruin it works upon some near ant
dear friend.
How strange that sensible, mora
and religious people will foster ant
support traffic that curses all anC
blesses none +!
