discovered that the temperance question
was in politics, not because any man or

very life OF the nation depended upon
the issues at stake. While the two old
parties are wrangling over free trade OF

as to what material we shall use for our

OF drunkenness and its attendant evils.
Because a few men and many women

SUNDAY REFLECTIONS.

A good name. liks good will, is gained
by many actions ami lost by one.
Ii We must know the right in order to
do it, it is needful that we do it in order
to know it. The habit of prompt and
unquestioning obedience to whatever
appeals to us as duty puts us into the
very best condition for learning more
and higher truths.
Infinite toll would rot enable us to
sweep away a mist; but by ascending o
little you may often look over il alto.
gether. SO it is with our moral improve
mont; we wrestle iercely with q vicious
habit, which could have no hold upon
as, If we assembled into a higher moral
atmosphere.
Husbands should make confidants of
their wives, consulting them on their
plans and prospects, and especially on
their troubles and embarrassments. A
woman's intuition is often better than
all the shrewdness and wisdom of q man ;
and all her ready sympathy and interest
mutual welfare.
LII to be true in heart and Just in act
are the first qualities necessary for the
elevation of humanity, il without them
all else is worthless, intellectual Gull
ture cannot give what intellectual cul-
ture does not require or imply. You
cultivate the plant which has already
life; You will waste your labor in culti-
waiting a stone.
If the conclusions q woman has reach
ed are sound, that is all that concerns us.
that they are very ant To ba sonnd
on the practical matters of domestic and
secular life nothing but prejudice or
self conceit can prevent us from ac-
knowledging. The inference, therefore,
unavoidable, that the nan who thinks
it beneath his dignity to take counsel
with an intelligent wife stands in his
own light, and betrays that lack of judg-
ment which he tacitly attributes to her.

dress the editor P. o. Drawer, 1851
Agitation Is the marshalling of the
conscience of q lation to mould its laws"
That all law is founded on public opin-
ION is a self evident proposition, and it
goes without saying that an indispensi-
BILE preparatory step to prohibition in
any community 10 to change public sem
timent. The attempt to effect such o
change IN our " city cannot be re-
garded as. ~altogether anixotic while the
respectable, home loving element pre-
dominates. At any rate, the w. @. I. U.
of Yankton is ready to break a lance in
the undertaking.
The alcohol habit is not an innate
propensity, it is not the craving of an
impetuous natural instinct which must
be provided for; it is q cultivated taste.
But when once acquired it creates IN
the system an imperative demand which
is as uncomfortable from a merely physi-
cal standpoint as would be the tortnr-
ing thirst for water in one who had been
forced to swallow u pint of strong brine.
What consideration would induce O
creature SO tormented to forego the inn
measurable qualification OF shaking his
thirst with %draughts of pure water?
Nov it is just this plain physical fact
with which parents and citizens have to
deal. According to q late statement in
the Press and Dakotsian there are in
the city of Yankton twenty-three retnil
dealers in liquor, four business places
where liquors are sold for medicinal pur.
poses, and three Wholesale houses en-.
gagged in the same traffic; will the fact
that these places are licensed change liz
the slightest degree the operation o.
physical law?
The stimulant habit once established
becomes progressive; every indulgence

for the evil is to put the temptation out

When small shall he our need OF grace
From .conrade or from neighbor;
Passed all the strife, the toll, the care,
And ono with Rllthe aieaing

Alas! by simple dying!
Then lips too chary of their praise
Will tell our merits over,
And eyes too swift or faults to see
Shall no defect discover,

Our steep hill path, will scatter flowers
Above u pillowed slumber.

May whot q nameless sorrow.
