TEMPERANCE.
SOMEBODY'S BOY.

Do not utter the careless words;
"Oh, there is nothing for me TO do"
Fields are open on every side,
Waiting for workers strong and true.
Golden moments are speeding fast
Gladly labor while yet you may;
Oh, remember ere it's too late,
Somebody's boy needs aid to-day.

The teinpter calls with dulcet note,
But gulf Of the dregs of dark despair
Await the vOyagers us they float
Slowly out from the friendly shore.
Over this stream of wide renown,
Over this river that leads to death.
Somebody's boy is drifting down!
Mother. bending with lovelit eyes
Over the Jewels that bless your home,
With waking dreams Of rosy hue,
Spanning the years that are yet to come,
Other lips have been pure as those.
others have worn that guileless brow,
Other mothers have lOved-and lost!
Ask the fend of the wine cup, how!
Oh, for the love you feel for those
Safe In the sound of your cradle song!
Oh, by the beautiful hopes you hold.
Wreathing manhood proud and strong
Falter not, though each set of sun
Find you with aching heart and brow,
Eager to grasp helping hand,
Somebody's boy is waiting now!
Let us labor, with purpose firm.
And with charity pale and sweet;
May Heaven help us to make the path
Easy for all the Maynard feet
Count as nothing the sneers we meet,
Count our happiness rs unsurpassed,
II by word ora deed of ours
Somebody's boy is saved at last!

WHAT RUM DEMANDS.
More Than Ono Way Of 'Gcttlng tn
Drop" ON . Man.

More Than One Way Of "Gettlng the
Drop" ON . Man.
Getting the drop on him" is a
phrase which, among the lawless
pioneer miners, and among the lawless
generally, means that the one party
has his gun cooked, aimed and ready
to fire before the other has time to
draw his weapon. The man who has
the drop against him has a sudden
choice to surrender and be disarmed,
or die. He is at the mercy of his
enemy. 1t appears from the following
conversation, reported to us by a
friend, as occurring between two Chi
cago Irishmen. that there is more than
one way of getting the drop on man:
''Come in, Patrick, and take drop
of something"
mo, Mike; l am afraid of diops
ever since Tim Flaherty died"
"Well, what about Tim?"
He was one of the likeliest fellows
in these parts. But he began the drop
business in Barney Shannon's saloon.
1t was just drop OF something out Of

Whisky and Riots.

The Omaha Bee polntedly says: "The
main trouble in all these labor riots is
whisky. If liquor could be kept away
from working-men when they are on .
strike, there would be very little dam
ger to life and property. The Anarch-
lists and Communists who want to de-
stroy property for the sake Of building
up q new system are not numer-
Gus anywhere. Sober working-men
would spurn their counsels and refuse
to follow them in any attempt to
create a disturbance. On the con-
trary, if the saloons and gin mills were
closed in every city where there are la
Dor troubles the sober, moderate coun-
sells of conservative, honest laboring
men would prevail. They would rea-
son with their employers, and adjust
their differences without resort to vio-
lence. Large droves OF drunk
en- men, whether they are laborers or
belong to any other class, are likeb %
bring about riots and commit outrages
upon property. Dynamite is aangt r
Gus, but whisky and dynamite together
make terrible combination"

A SONG AND A PRAYER.


A song for the girl we love-
God love her!
A song for the eyes with their tender wle
And the fragrant mouth with its melting
smile,
The rich brown tresses uncontrolled.
That clasp her neck with tendcrest hold,
And the blossom lips and the dainty chin.
And the lily hand that we try to win.
The girl we love-
God love her.
A prayer for the girl we loved
God loved her!
A prayer for the eyes of faded light,
And the cheek whose red rose waned to white,
And the quiet brow with its shadow and
CLEAN,
And the ashes dropped in a long deep dream.
And the small hands crossed for the church.
yard rest,
And the flowers dead on her sweet dead
breast,
The girl we loved
God loved her!

The elephantine David Davis, when
he elected himself President pro tenn
of the Senate, used TO like to 60 to his
dinner at 4 p. M, and used to get
quite excited on the subject when the
Senate sat later. One dark afternoon
in December, he would not order the
gas lighted until Senator Edmunds
pointedly suggested that it be done,
and at last, when Senator VOORHEES,
moved that the Senate 60 into Execu-
tive session, the Judge plaintively
asked: Did the Senator from Indiana
move to- adjonrn?' Senator Ben
Wade, when he was President pro
tenn. Of the Senate, was equally anx-
ious for. an adjournment. One day
when Senator Garrett Davis had the
floor, and opened the f1ood-gates OF
his ceaseless .oratory, Wade stood it
until it was 4 o'clock, when he said,
"Will the gentleman from Kentucky
suspend his remarks for the introduc-
ton of a motion?" Certainly
said Mr.. Davis, who had the courtesy
Of the old school. "'The Senator from
Ohio,' said Mr.. Wade, "moves that

| the Senate stands adjourned until to-
! morrow at 10 O'clock As Mr.. Wade
was the only Senator from Ohio in the
chamber or even in the Senate at that
time, his GOODNESS in putting his own
motion and declaring it carried was
much admired.

John l.. Hill, of Philadelphia, has
returned from Europe, where he
combined business with pleasure by
examining all the big clocks in Europe,
with a view to acquiring knowledge
which might be useful in view OF the
the fact that Philadelphia intends to

Ben, as the clock in the tower of the
the House OF Parliament at London
is named, has dial OF 20 feet 10
inches diameter. The works weigh Ia, :
900 pounds, and it is guarded as care
fully as if it were gold mine. A rec
ord is kept OF of it's workings, and it
has varied but one-tenth of a second
in the last two or three years. A per-
son has to climb 1,40o steps to reach
the clock. 1t takes two men four and
half hours each day to wind it up,
and every morning it's record is taken
and transmitted to Mr.. Dent, the max
er. The lighting in the tower is done
by hand. 1t could all be done by ma

to the Washington Post, all those

which should grace cabinet members

intellectually brilliant, and some as
sert that, she is rich. Enthusiastic
Georgians say she is one Of those
insignificant middle aged women to be
found only in the southern states, and
in such perfection rarely even there.
Like the secretary, she has been mar
RED before. The first intimation of
the coming event was given in o
Georgian newspaper at the time of the
secretary's visit last year, which now
appears to have been t. premature
publication; but the Georgia news
paper man apparently got on tie
right track il he failed to consider the
proverbial difficulty OF winning a fasci-
mating widow. Every thing takes time,
but it is now generally, almost uni
versally, believed that Secretary
Lamar has succeeded.

NEW YORK, Nov 3.--The Tribune will say:
It does not yet appear that either party can
claim clean majority for the next house. From
about dozen districts tho information is either
50 meagre or 80 conflicting that the claims OF
earnest workers must be received with some al
lowance In several districts the official count
will be required to determine the result. But
the probabilities Indicated by the latest dis
patches are that the few mem oers elected dis
tinctiveiy as labor candidates may have the
balance OF power. f.:
The World will say: The Democratic control
of the house Is 1mperiled, II not altogether lost
and the question OF the reason and the RESPONSE
bility for the change is one that seriously con-
Germs the future of the party. No doubt the
disposition OF the federal offices and quarres
and disappointments over the Offices
have contributed to the defeat of sew
eral Democratic members, hut the real
reason for the losses In . majority OF cases lies
deeper than this There Is no Disgusting the
