In Bohemia.

I'd rather live in Bohemia than in any other land
For only there are the values true,
And the laurels gathered in all mems view.
The prizes of traffic and state
By shrewdness force, or by deeds undone;
But the fame is sweeter without the feud,
And the wise of Bohemia are never shrewd.
Here pilgrims stream with faith sublime
From every class and CLINE and time,
Aspiring only to be enrolled
With the names that are writ in the book of gold;
And each one bears in mind or hand
palm of the dear Bohemian land.
The scholar first, with his book-a youth
Afame with the glory of harvested truth;
girl with picture, man with play,
A boy with wolf he had modelled in clay;
A smith with marvellous hilt and sword,
player, king, ploughman, a lord
And the player is king when the door is past,
The ploughman is crowned, and the lord is last!
I'd rather fail in Bohemia than win in another land
There are titles inherited there,
No hoard or hope for the branless heir;
No gilded dullard native born
To stare at his fellow with leaden scorn;
Bohemia has none but adopted sons;
Its limits, where Fancy's bright stream runs;
Its honors, not garnered for thrift trade,
But for beauty and truth mems souls have made.
To the empty heart in jeweled breast
There is value, maybe, in a purchased crest;
But the thirsty of soul soon learn to know
The moistureless froth of the social show;
The vulgar sham of the pompous feast
Where the heaviest purse the highest priest;
The organized charity, ,scrimped and iced,
In the name of a cautious, statistical Christ;
The smile restrained, the respectable CANT,
Where the only aim is to keep afoat,
And brother may drown with cry in his throat:
Oh, long for the glow of kindly heart and the
grasp of a friendly hand,
And I'd rather live in Bohemia than any other land

To tshom 1t mag concern:
As the time to issue license to
sell spirituous liquors is drawing
near, we deem it right and fair to
notify those engaged or about to
engage In the business, not to pur-
chase any stock at present. We
are not prohibitionists, never were
and never expect to be, but in con.
sideration of surrounding circum-
stances, together with the cantam.
mating influences of liquor, we are
of the opinion that it would be
better not to grant any license.
We are we'll acquainted with the
effects of Intoxicating drinks, hav.
Tag drank enough to float q steam
boat and still take some "for the
stomach's sake"
We are not a candidate for Office,
having held, or in some way been
connected with, nearly all the Of
fees in the county, from school
commissioner to a seat in the Leg
islature, for which we are very
thankful to our friends; but "for
all that and all that" "unless
something should come over the
spirit of our Dreams" we expect to
vote mo license" We could as
sign a great many reasons why we
have taken these steps, but have
not started out to make temper
ance speech nor to waste our pre-
tended eloquence on the fragrant
air." but we must say, in bold re-.
lief, that the liquor traffic is highly
pernicious and damnable in the ex-
treme.
