 snvFs WEDDING oDE.-MRs. F. M. QUICK. The murky wings of war were spread, Above our country's bruised head, And hearts were sad with loss and dread
 When we were wed. Yet all that's pure and bright and fair Within the soul and in the air Seemed whispering words of promise rare The chestnuts showed their golden bloom, The flowers shed their rich perfume, And faith rang out amid the gloom. Their silver crown the years have gained, And tho our dreams are unattained, The joy of duty hath remained. The vanished years cannot efface Life's picture set in finished grace In memory's safe abiding place. Our builded home with love enshrined, In tender lives with ours entwined, Hath folded joys of every kind. Their lives have been a priceless dover, Which lent our lives immortal power, Blent earth and heaven in each hour. The fire of love hath constant glowed, For every need God hath bestowed, His grace and mercy he hath showed. His star of love hath been our guide, His promise hath been true and tried; We've found our refuge at his side. The banner of his cross we've borne, Some times with wearied hand and torn, But never of its glory shorn. For all our mutual love hath shared, For precious children kindly spared For all Gods bounty hath prepared; For all home's sunshine by the way, For friendships hand, our strength and stay, TH~o,. 10-o1 4<@-l

Of the saloons. In 1888. going step further,
the Republican State Convention placed plank
in its platform in favor of submitting prohi-
bition amendment to the people Since that
time the Republicans in the Legislature, with
few exceptions, have done their best to place
upon the statute books measures which en-
bodied well-digested and practical temperance
reform. In so doing they have encountered
fierce opposition. The Democratic minority
has been against them, powerful lobby has
been against them, the Democratic Governor
has been against them, and they have been beset
by foes in their own household. But in the face
of all obstacles they have perseyered. The
fight which they have waged during the present
session has its outcome in the passage of tenn
perance legislation of the first Importance
the High License bill and the resolution pro-
viding for submitting prohibition amendment
to the people.
We submit these considerations to the third
party men who aim to do the best they can for
The cause of temperance. Some of the leaders
of that party are in it for what they can make
out of it, Our remarks are not addressed to
them. but to their unselfish brethren who have
no axe save the public welfare to grind. Third
marty temperance men, have not the Republi-
cans of New-York earned your confidence?
Has not the Republican party proved that 1t Is
entitled to the votes of those who have the
cause Of temperance intelligently at heart ?

PRACTICAL TEMPERANCE WORK.

The men who organized the third party move
ment in this State have constantly asserted that
neither of the old parties could be depended
upon to promote temperance reform. On the one
hand they have arraigned the Democracy as
the undisguised and shameless champion of the
liquor interest, and on the other have insisted
that the Republican party, although committed
to temperance reform by its character its his
tory and its platform promises failed when OPP
portunity offered TO put its creed into its
deed" So much Of this Indictment as relates
to the Democracy stands. That party is Tor the
rum power, in season and out of season, against
all Corners But it is not an indictment that
holds against the Republican party.
The Republican party. at all stages Of its
history, has responded to progressive public
sentiment. During the last quarter Of CEN
t,lry in this State that party has labored stead
lily and successfully to prevent the excise laws
from being revised and amended in the interest

METHODIST RULES ON ADJUSTMENTS

The action of the Methodist Episcopal preach.
ers' meeting, of Cincinnati, on Monday, in rela-
ton TO the rules Of the Church the subject of
omusements, indicates that there will be debate
in the approaching General Conference, and posi-
bly legislative action, Of less interest than i'm
portance. The meeting adopted resolution ask
inc the General Conference to consider whether
IT, would not be for the interest of the Church to
amend Article 233 of the Discipline in that part
which specifies certain forbidden amusements
either by striking out the specifications as being
sufficiently covered by the general rule on that
subject, or making more IudlclouS and complete
catalopue of forbidden diversions.
From the time of Wesley TO the year s72 mem
beers Of the several Methodist denominations were
required 70 abstain from such amusements as they
could not indulge in to the glory of Cod This
left room for some liberty Of conscience but less
than might be supposed; for it depended very
much on the sentiment of the community in which
he lived what a church member might be permit
ted 10 believe that he could practise without sin
Methodism which had sprung from Puritanism
was very different in its rigidity from that which
had grown up in Episcopal communities.
The General Conference which met in BROOKLYN
in 1872 decided TO settle for the Methodist Epis-
copal Church Just what diversions its members
could not indulge in to the glory Of God and
list was made out-efter an amusing debate-and
adopted as part of the Church law, and for six
teen years has remained in the Discipline. To
all Appearances it has been a perfectly dead let

would have been called TO account twenty years
