FAMOUS HORSES THAT WILL CONTEST THE
PURSES-THE BARD AND ELKwooD TO HAVE
IT OUT HERE-THE STAKE RACES AND THEIR
PROBABILITIES, &C.
The freeman. (Parkersburg, W. Va.) 1886-18??, 1886-06-09
Labor and Temperance.

Miss Willard writes as follows:
"1n the great struggle between
capital and labor our cause has ev-
erything to gain. The evolution
of the one reform must help that
of the other. The tendency toward
cooperation is tendency toward
sober habits on the part of work
ingmen. Nobody is SO hopeless of
reformation as tramp; nobody so
hopeful as a proprietor. The pos
session OF capital makes man con-
sentative; the tendency of cooper
alton is to make all men capital
lists, to make the acquisition of
homes possible, to root men to one
spot, while the wage system makes
them transients, careless and ire
sponsible; seldom aspiring toward
proprietary interests, they spend
their wages as tale that is told,
And so the labor reformers are our
brethren, and every sturdy stroke
of theirs helps to develop the tenn
psrance reform, although they
strive for quite another goal.
The freeman. (Parkersburg, W. Va.) 1886-18??, 1886-06-09
Two Gentlemen.

| saw two gentlemen on a street
car, lately, One of them was grown
up. He was handsomely dressed
in a gray business suit, and had
very neat kid gloves and fine boots.
The other was about twelve years
old. His jacket had several patch
es, and needed more; and his shirt
was of brown cotton, and not very
clean. Do you wonder how l knew
he was gentleman? / will tell
you.
The boy went through the car to
give some message to the driver
AS he returned, he gave little
jump through the door, and, as he
did so, his bare foot touched the
grown up gentleman's knees, and
left a little mud on it. Turning
around on the platform, he raised
his straw hat, and said very polite
ly, in clear tone, please excuse
me-" Then the other gentleman
bowed in his turn, just as he would
have done to one of his own age,
and said with pleasant smile,
"Certainly."

Gen. Grants Message to the Chill
dren.

While the lessons of the life and
death of Gen. Grant are on all our
tongues and in all our hearts, his
message to the children seems to be
worthy of reproduction in all the
journals of the country;
WASHINGTON, June 6, 1876.
To the Editor of the S. S, Times.
Yours of yesterday, asking mes
sage from me to the children and
youth of the United States, to &C
company your centennial number,
is this moment received.
My advice to Sunday Schools, no
matter what their denomination,
is:-Hold fast to the Bible as the
sheet anchor of your liberties, write
its precepts in your hearts, and
practice them an yootr Lives. (Under-
scoring this.)
To the influence of this book we
ara indebted for all the progress
made in true civilization; and to
this we must look as our guide in
the future. Righteousness exalt-
eth nation but sin is a reproach
to any people"
Yours Respectfully,
u. S. GRANT.

How to Avoid a had Husband.

Never marry for wealth. A wo-
mans lite consistent not in the
things she possesses.
Never marry fop, who struts
about dandy-like in his gloves and
ruffies, with a silver-headed cane,
and rings on his fingers Beware,
there is trap!
Never marry a niggardly, close
listed, mean, sordid wretch, who
saves every penny, or spends 1T
grudgingly. Take care less he
stint you to death.
Never marry stranger, whose
character is not known or tested.
Some girls jump into the fire with
their eyes wide open,
Never marry NOPE or a drone-
one who draggles through life, one
foot after the other, and lets things
take their own course.
Never marry man who treats
his own mother or sister unkindly
or indifferently. Such treatment is
a sure indication of mean and
wicked man.
Never on any account marry a
gam bier, a profane person, one who
in the least speaks lightly of God
or of religion. Such man will
never make a good husband.
Never marry a sloven, man who
is negligent of his person or dress,
and is filthy in his habits. The
external appearance is an index to
the heart.
Shun the rake as a snake, viper,
demon. Avoid him.
Finally, never marry a man who
is in the least addicted to the use
of ardent spirits. Depend upon it,
you are better off alone than you
would be tied to a man whose
breath is pulluted, and who is
being destroyed by alcohol.
