THE LIQUOR PARTNERSHIP.
Let the Partners take Christmas
Dinner Together.

sumner. And as they all share IN
the business, equity would require
that they in common share In the
results whether of profits or losses.
Hence our suggestion that the part
ners come together on Christmas
day, compare notes, measure profits
or losses as the case may be, and
enjoy reunion Christmas dinner.
We shall not presume to dictate
with which partner, (or class of
partners, as they are many the
feast shall be spread.
And yet it might seem to be
most in accordance with the fitness
of things, that the licenser should
stand the costs of the partnership
dinner, forasmuch as he receives
his share of the profits Of the traffic
without either contributing capt.
tai or mourning risk, and that too,
in this queerly conducted Christian
country, without harm to his
responsibility or danger to his
church relation; while the seller
must not only sacrifice manhood
and standing in society, but must
also run great risk of life and limb,
as we'll as subject himself to penal
ties of violated law. And what
shall we say of the third partner in
this great three-sided industry,
which absorbs more than 100000
of the hard-earned money of the
people of Parkersburg every year?
Shall he be required to prepare
the Christmas feast -? This to
some might seem to be appropriate,
as the consumers are the numerous
class, and are presumed to enjoy
the ht1uries and benefits of the
exhilarating beverages. Taking
this view of the matter, it might be
fitting that the drinkers should
thus express their gratitude to their
benefcent partners and their
appreciation of the liberal provi-
sion furnished for the qualification
of their burning thirst and insati-
able appetite. Then be it so.
Let the consumers of Parkersburg's
whisky and beer, spread the Christ
mas dinner for the kcensers and the
sellers, and let the Press be invited,
for the FREEMAN reporter wants to
be there to note the courses and re-
port the toasts and speeches.
Let all the drunkards of Parkers-
burg meet at the Rink with their
wives and children, bringing with
them their tables and chairs and
ware, and spread just such dinner
as they are accustomed to have at
home; and then let them invite
the forty saloon-keepers and the
city councilmen, who sell them
their Licenses at 800 each, to come
and join them in their Christmas
festivities.
Surely here would be such a re-
alnion as the world has never yet
witnessed? And why should there
not be closer relationship estab-
lished between these every day
partners? Why not have very
brotherhood of the partnership,
socially as we'll as in business rela-
tions, just as we see in other lines
of trade?
By all means let the partners take
Christmas dinner together, and let
the doors be open, that the public
may look in and witness the festal
joys of the happy saloon family !;
and let the Press that favors the
License system have compliment

no matter how old she is in years, she
should be younger 10 heart and feeling,
for the youth of age is something more
attractive than youth itself.
To the over-worked woman this
green old age is out of the question ;
old age comes on, sere and yellow, be-
fore its time. Her disposition is ruined,
her temper is soured, her very nature
is changed by the burden, which, too
heavy to carry, is dragged along as
wearied feet and tired hands can do
their part.
Even her affections are blunted, and
she becomes merely a machine-a wo.
man without the time to be womanly,
a mother without the time to train and
guide her children as only mother
can-s wife without the time to sym,
pathize with and cheer her husband SO
over'worked during the day that when
night comes, her sole thought, the most
intense longing is for rest and sleep,
that very probably will not come and,
even if it should, she is too tired to en-
joy.
Better far let everything go un
finished, to live as best she can, thar
to entail on herself and family the
curse of Over-work.

Weary Women.

There is nothing more reprehensible
and thoroughly wrong than the idea
that woman fulflls her duty by do
ing an amount of work beyond her
strength. She does not only not fulfill
her duty, but she most signally fails in
it.
There can be no sadder sight than
that of broken down, over-worked
wife and mother--a woman who is
tired all her life through.
If the work of the household cannot
be accomplished by order, system and
moderate work, without the necessity
of wearing, heart-breaking toil-toil
that is never ended and never begun,
without making life treadmill of Ia
Dor, then, for the sake of humanity,
let the work go. Better to live in the
midst of disorder than that order should
be purchased at SO high a price-the
cost of health, and strength, and hap
piness, and all that makes life endura'
bic.
The woman who spends her life il
unnecessary labor is untitled for the
highest duties of home. She should
be the haven of rest to which both hus
band and children turn for rest an(
refreshment. She should be the care
full intelligent adviser and guide of tn,
one, the tender confident and helpmat,
of the other.
How is it. possible for woman, ex
hau8ted in body, as a natural cOnse
quence in mind also, to perform eithe
of these Offices? No, it is not possible
The constant strain is great. Natur
gives way beneath it. She loses healtl
and spirits, and hopefulness, and, NOR
than all, her youth-the last thing
woman should allow to slip from her

Judge Mat w. Allen, of Nashville,
held our February term of the Circuit
Court. The Judge writes a bashful
hand, and doesn't use any unnecessary
words to express his meaning. Clerk
Smith found some difficulty in making
out word on the docket, made out by
the Judge, in reference to the DISPOSE

minute book he found that instead of
saying, as is customary, "the bonds of
matrimony heretofore existing between

WORTHINESS.
BY CHAs, ]. o'MALLEY.

Whatever lacks purpose is evil;
A pool without pebbles breeds slime;
Not any one step hath Chance fashioned
On the infinite stairway of Time
Nor ever came Good without Labor,
In Toll, or in Science or Art;
1t must be wrought out thro' the muscle
Born out of the soul and the heart.
Why pillow in the stubble with plowshmes
Why winnow the chaff from the grain?
All, since all of His gifts must be toiled for
Since Truth is not born without pain!
He gveth not to the unworthy,
The weak, or the foolish in deeds;
Who giveth but chatf at the seed-time
Shall reap but harvest of weeds.
AS the pyramid builded of vapor
Is blown by His whirlwind to naught,
So the song without Truth is forgotten
HIS poem to man is mans thought.
Whatever is strong with a purpose,
In humbleness woven, sculpture,
Is known to the Master of singers;
He toucheth itsaying, "Endure"

CHAPTER XIV.
CONCLUDED.

rTWO years had passed away since
w the events recorded in the last
chaper. In the parlor Of man
sion in the city Of st. Louis sat a man
by cheerful CRATE perusing the even
ing paper. In low chair at his side
sat young girl, bright and fair as
the dream of a poets mind. One
small hand rested idly in her lap,
while with the other she shaded her
eyes as she looked into the glowing
ing crate. The man looked up from
his paper and laid his hand on the
girls head.
"What areyOu thinking of Gracie?"
81 was wondering why you never
married, Uncle Frank"
"What put such a thought into
your little head"
go nothing, only you are so good.
/ think some fair lady must GER
tainly have loved you at one time in
your life. "
The smile left his face and he said
very gravely, at was not my fault
that the fair lady did not love me-"
"Did you ever love any one, Uncle
Frank?"
eyes, very dearly, Oracle, but she
loved another and | never told her of
my love-"
"Where did she live? Was she
good and pretty? But know she
must have been if you loved her."
"She lived away down South. Yes,
she was good, and very beautiful.
We will not talk about her now, pet.
/ suppose she is married now and
happy"
The door bell rang and servant
brought in a card.
"Show the gentleman in" said he,
and the next moment Bernard Stan
ley stood within the coy parlor.
81 am truly glad to see you, my
FRIEND" said Clifton as he shook
hands with Bernard.
"Gracie?"-but Oracle had slipped
from the room and the two friends sal
down to talk.
"CliftOn," said Bernard, 81 came
here tonight to tell you something
and ask your pardon for a little de
ceptiOn of NINE"
Frank Clifton looked at his visitor
in surprise but said nothing, and Ber
nard went on:
"When Oracle was at the spring:
last summer l happened to be there
and we met often. / fell in love with
her, and / think she loved me, too
No words passed between us on the
subject, for as soon as saw how mat
ters stood, left the springs, hoping
that she, in time to come, would for
get me; for you know l was ther

more honorable to hold my peace anC

very rich relative died, leaving MI
his fortune. would not ask Grac,
to share my life while it was one o
comparative poverty, but now it i
different, and l came here tonight t,
ask you for my lOVe-my wife"
Clifton had listened to this with
heart of varied emotions. When tn
artist ceased speaking he sat a lOni
time gazing into the fire, while Der
nard watched his face. AT last h
spoke:
"NIay NORTHUMBERLAND will sh
think of all this ,"
"May Moreland is it possible yO
thought see it all now. | hav
been fool not to see it before. Yo
were mistaken; May and myse
were never more than friends"

taking up her brush. "You may
think you do not, but that is the hope
to which we all hold" and she went
quietly on with her work.
May turned and walked away.
Elsie was right; it acas the hope to
which she and every other mortal
held. The girls words had moved
her. She opened the parlor door and
soon a strain of music floated up and
filled the young ARTISTS room with
melody.
"She is not happy" said the girl
laying down her brush, 81 wonder
why ?" and she fell into a revery.
The music in the parlor ceased, 'anC
