Why Young Men and Women do not Marry :
Constant worry, and resulting irritation of the
nerves, caused by the present high living of the
period and its attendent excitements have broken
the constitutions of seven eighths of our American
women. Medicines have shown no ability to help
them. Stimulants and narcotics have proved de-
structive. At the present time, not one housewife
in fifty is able do her own work. Young men re-
fuse to marry because they not able to support
wife and woman to for her, because the period
has broken them nearly as much. Ii this mode OF
living Continues, what is the end to be- DOCTORS

A Maiden's Dreams.

A Maiden's Dreams.
No football wakens the mansion
Asleep in the suns warm rays,
The Lady Clare is aweary
OF silence and lonely days;
Loves magic of late has stolen
The charm from her life's still ways.
She turns from her book and rises
To gaze through the easement low;
The dangerous lily perfumes
Toward her on soft airs blow
White lilies! Ah once she leved them;
She gathers red roses now.
Oh, when will all the noon be sunset,
And over the green hillside
And up through the beeches' shadows
The lover she looks for ride?
And when will this life be ended,
And bring the bright life untried?
While thus she waits IN impatience,
Naught guesseth the Lady Glare
That sweet as are Loves red roses
Full often thorn they bear;
And the new life that seems so joyous
May bring with it weight of care.
Perhaps in the years that follow,
When cares press heavily,
And the thorns have pierced through the roses
Then, all their dreamings will be
OF the old, sweet life mid the lilies,
In maidenhood bth and free.

LETTER FROM BURLINGTON
Queen City Park, Aug. 8.

Queen City Park, dug. 8.
Ed. Monitor :-Presuming some
readers of your paper would like to
know something of this camp ground,
I send brief letter in regard to it.
This park is situated on the east
shore of Sherhurne bay, two miles
south of the city Of Burlington, and
alongside the Vermont Central r. r.
The Central R. r. Co. have just COM
pleted large, new depot, and all
trains will stop through the camp
meeting to leave or take passengers.
The grounds are on a bluff some for
ty feet above the surface of the lake
and well shaded by a thrifty growth
of oak, white birch, and pine trees.
The grounds are well laid out
and many white tents are now up
and about score of cottages, besides
half dozen new ones in process of
erection. The new hotel, just COM
pleted, will accommodate two hun
dred and fifty guests. The house is
this season rented to Geo. W. Man
digo of Troy, N. Y, who has the
appearance of being the right man in
the right place. The grounds have
been thoroughly cleaned and
put in the best condition by Mr..
Warren, the great "bee" man of
Vermont. A we'll kept store is on
the ground where all kinds of sup
plies for the camp may be obtained
at regular market prices. Steamers
plying on the lake bring parties, and
during the campmeetlng make daily
trips. The scenery is charming. The
AdirOndacks seen in the distance in
the west remind US of W. H. II.
Murray's well-told tales of their at
fractions Mansfield, CamePs Hump,
and other lofty SUBMITS can be seen
eastwardly. The boating and fishing
are good, and receive some at
tention. The grounds are owned by
the Queen City Park Association and
used principally for the Spiritualist
camp meeting which commences this
Year on the 18th of the present
month. and continues until Sept. 13.
The Vermont Universalist grove
meeting will he held here during the
present week. Mrs. NJ. A. Liver.
more will speak next Sunday on the
the subject, Immortality, which
will close the exercises of the Uni
versalists. Some two hundred per-
sons are now on the grounds, and if
the weather permits thousands will
be here in week from to-day. All
Vermont railroads give return checks
or round trip tickets after Aug. 4th,
for fare one way. The children from
the orphans home were here once
last week in care of their attendants.
They looked as though well cared
for, and we hope to make the Home
a visit during our stay, and thus
know something about its manage
ment. But we are making our letter
too long, and those who wish to know
more about it had better come and
see it. GEO. BUSH.

THE EARTHQUAKE.
The City Of Charleston, S. c., Almost
u"l1i Totally Destroyed.
A General Shake-up Over a Large
aI 'JHW Area of Country.

The earthquake Of last Tuesday
night extended all along the Atlantic
Coast, and was felt with greater or
less severity throughout many of the
interior States. A larger area was.
effected by this earthquake than by
any previous one Of which there is
any record. " t. ~ t0HH.t
Charleston, S. c., seems to have
been the center of the disturbance,
fully three-fourths of the buildings of
that city being totally wrecked Or
badly damaged. After the crash of
buildings from the earthquake, fires
broke out in five or six places in the
city and many buildings were de-
stroyed by this element.
One fine building at Knoxville was
damaged by the shake, and a num-
Der of towns in Georgia and South
Carolina report damage to property,
with occasionally some one killed or
wounded. HHaH
AT Charleston, between fifty and
one hundred persons were killed, and
several hundred injured. The foil
ing dispatch family portrays the APP
palling news from the doomed city:
CHARLESTON, Sept. IAN earth
quake such as has never before been
known in the history of this city
swept over Charleston last night
shortly after 10 o'clock, causing more
loss and injury to property, and far
more loss of life than the cyclone of a
year before. The first shock was by
far the most severe. Its effect can be
judged by experiences of Capt. Daw-
son, of the News and Courier, who
lives in a massive brick residence in
Bull street, near Rutledge street.
Capt. Dawson was in his room on the
second story when the first shock oc-
Cured. The house seemed literally to
turn on its axis. The first shock was
followed by second and athird, less
severe than the first. The air was
filled with cries and shrieks of wo-
men and children. From every side
of that quiet neighborhood came the
cry "God help u.s." "God save u.s.
"Oh, my God" 1t was far the worst
battle of the war. When the first
agony was over, it was found that
the ceiling of every room inthe house
was cracked, the big cistern was
broken. The huge tank in the attic
was pouring its food of water into
the bedrooms. In the parlors the
statues had been wrenched from theil
bases and thrown to the floor. Ii
the hall the massive lamps had actu
ally been turned around. In front O
. the house was a large porch, heavy
. pillars and solid marble steps, all thi
f was swept away as though it hat
Q been shaved off with a razor. An(

The Liquor Controversy in Gloucester
Assumes New Phase.
GLOUCESTER, Mass, jar

GLOUCESTER, Mass, Jan. %.
The liquor CONTROVERSY in Gloucester has
assumed a new phase. Last years board of
aldermen having failed to grant licenses,
although the popular vote was largely in
favor thereof, the new board on coming into
power virtually decided to grant licenses for
the remainder of the year, ending May lst,
by establishing fees for such licenses. Sew
entv-nine applications have been received for
licenses. Last evening the mayor and board
went the rounds to ascertain if the parties
applying for licenses as vicluallers have the
necessary adluncts for cooking and serving
food. The Womans Christian Temperance
Union has inaugurated active work to pre-
vent the issuing of licenses and when the
board OF aldermen meet next Tuesday even
ing to take further action on the question they
will present strong petition against licens-
ing the liqubr traffic. At their solicitation
Is owners of real estate adjoining the prem
ises where licenses are asked for have filed
remonstrances against granting licenses to
occupants of SAID premises who cannot there
fore be legally licensed to sell liquors to be
drank on the premises.

THE NINE DISASTER.
No Bodies Yet RecOvered-The Work
Progressing Very slowly.
WHEELING. w. Va. Jan. %

WHEELING, w. Va, Jan. %.
The men who went down in the Newburg
mine would say nothing as they emerged.
The bucket W IN: down IN! up and the men
are repairing the breaks in the air shaft as
they found them. The crowd is growing
larger and larger, pressing harder on the
ropes stretched about the shaft, so eager
were the people to get even a look down that
terrible hole. A temporary fence of rough
boards was hurrledly put up to make an in
closure in which the work might 60 on with
out interference. As soon as the shaft is
sufficiently repaired cage will be put on
and take down a large force in hope of bring
ing up some bodies and beginning the in
quest Coroner Jones summoned jury to
be present at the works at ) o'clock, but the
progress is slower than the coroner expected
and the inquest sas postponed for and hour.
The work in the mine will be continued
through he night by reliefs, composed in
part of men who have relatives below.
At this hour the crowd still stands around
discussing the chances of life and death.
Crowds OF people from along the railroad,
and farmers from the country are here,
eager to do something. and there is nothing
for them to do. The origin of the disaster is
variously determined by experts, who vary
in theories. The generally accepted theory
which is that OF the companys representa-
tives, is that Nick Williams, who was cut
ting a ditch through breast at the extreme
end of the works to let the water of, knocked
down the door to give him better chance at
his work. The door played an important
part in the system OF ventilation. which was
thus disarranged.' The foul gas collected in
great volumes, and was fired by miners
lamp.
One of the last men who came out of the
mine before the explosion says he heard
Nick Williams say that he was going to
knock the door down and AS he came out he
beard heavy pounding as though the door wa.
being battered down. The idea is advanced
that the most experienced miners, knowing
the nature or gas, if they were not killed a
once, would throw themselves on their faces
there being the least foul air on the floor
This gives the friends some grou ds for hope
but it is so slight that it is not encouraging.
