| A Democratic buffer was shown mp
/ in an Elkton store recently. lie was talking
loudly of i've dollars that he desired to bet
on Cleveland aud noticing an individual
who did not have sportive appearance
but who he discovered was for Harrison
wanted him To bet. lie miStook his man.
The Republican was right there and armed
witt V. "Lets make it ten said the BLUFF
fer. can right" replied the Republican,
The Democrat finding that the other fellow
meant business said something about to
morrow morning" and beat a retreat.
From the following clipping taken from
the Hdger&to,1H HcrdId, our fellow towusman
"Mr. H. g. Thackery must have made n
favorable impression in Western Maryland
Robert &. Thackery, Esq, of Elkton, Md,
made his first appearance before a Wash
ingtou county audience on Tuesday even
ing. He has a fine presence and made n
brilliant speech ore of the abIest aud most
effective efforts of the campaign in HagerS-
town. Mr.. Thackery is master of invec-
tive and is a fluent forcibls and pungeut
speaker. To say his audience was delighted
is putting the case mildly"
The two devils of the WHIG'S compos-
ing room at variance. Devil No. l is a
Harrison boy while Devil No. howls for
Cleveland, They made wager the other
day. The WING building has a flag pole
which surmouurS the tower and has pulley
at the top. If Cleveland is elected the
'Youugster" has promised TO climb the pole
and place rope in the pulley, while if Har-
rison is elected Buck is TO do the same
act. Perhaps the little dear's msmnas or
some other persons Interested in their wei
fare may interfere to prevent them from
breaking their necks.
Young Democrats who will have to
spend good many more years in this world
of pain and sorrow before they will have an
opportunity to cast a vote are much more
enthusiastic III Elkton than their fathers,
many of whom intend to quietly vote tor
Harrison on Tuesday. Tue boys were ram
pant Monday night and had a jolly time.
They had procured some Of the soap" with
which the managers say they will do soue
effective work on election day, and hired
the Eikton Coruet Band. There were be-
tween one and two hundred boys in line
with torches, a few of them mounted on
horseback. y number OF Jransparence5
were carried and boys drum corp brought
up the rear. A number of Democrats illum-
mated their houses. Joseph Bradbury was
the genial and efficient marshal. Ex-States
attorney, Charles e. CroJhers addressed the
boys from the Howard House porch at the
conclusion of the parade. He made some
deeply philosophic remarks on political top
les the most striking of which was that
"Cleveland is holiness and as to the Old
Roman there are no flies on him."

October Marriage Statistics.

Eighteen marriage certificates were
issued during October by the clerk OF the
Cecil County Circuit Court. This is
seven more than were issued in Saptem
Der last. October is usually considered
as the month of the most marriages but
five less licenses were granted during the
same month last year. Fourteen of the
licenses were to white persons and four
to colored. Three widowers again took
the matrimonial yoke upon Them and one
widow secured another man. Oae couple
TO whom Il license was granted the answers
show were related, being second cousins
One lady who had been divorced was
granted permission to marry again. A
license for this couple was asked early last
month, the lady being under the impress
sion that she had been granted divorce,
but the result had not then been reached
A divorce was atterward granted. Nine
of the women who vera granted license
were between the age of IS and 20. Ten
of the men were between 81 and % years,
four being only the former, which is the
age at which males are permitted to
marry without their parents consent. In
four of the eighteen cases the woman
was the older of the two.

The North East Republican
Demonstration.

Oae of the largest Republican meetings
ever held in the Fifth district took place
in North East on Wednesday evening
under the auspices of the Harrison and
| Morton Club of that town. The meeting
was called in the afternoon when an able
| and effective speech was delivered by
Mr.. o. NJ Babcock, of Philadelphia The
full enthusiasm of the occasion, however,
was reserved for the evening parade aud
illumination. North East certainly did
hersslf credit. From one end of the
town to the other she was ablaZe with
light and our national colors. The illum-
nation of dwellings was so general that
stranger passing through the streets of
the town would have taken the entire
population as being for Harrison and
Morton, while the constant shouts that
greeted the visiting clubs indicated the
interest awakened by the display. About
seven o'clock the procession began to
organize at the lower end of the town,
although it was fully half an honr later
when it moved. Mr. S. Delaplalne Nc
George E. Kirk, Nathan Alexander, DR..
r. G.. Underwood. Samuel Burns, Jr.,
and William A. Wilson as aids, led the
line. They were handsomely mounted
and made an appearance that would have
done credit to parade IN any city. Fol
lowing them came the Whitaker Cornet
Band, leading the Rising Sun club, in
full display, as joVally enthusiastic as
ever and showing excellent drill in march
ing. Many familiar faces appeared in the
ranks. Then came the North East clu b
with their snowy capes and caps. They
looked fine and were greeted with well
come shouts as with good soldlerly step
they marched to the tune of Harrison
and victory. The Harrison and Morton
Club of the Ninth district, all mounted
in excellent shape with tae Whitaker
Band Drum Corps, came next IN line,
while general display of torches closed
the procession. After the parade the
public meeting was organized in Wingate
Post Hall and was called to order by
John w. Falls, Esq, the president of the
local club. The hall was densely packed
and was Insufficient to accommodate more
than one.half the persons in attendance.
Mr.. Falls introduced as the speakers of
the evening Messrs. VIM. J. Jones aud
Robert G. Thackery, of Elktou, who
were received with marked enthusiasm.
We should have been glad to have pub
lished a full report of the excellent
speeches these gentlemen delivered. Suf-
flee it to say that they were both at their
best, and the good points of their addresses
were fully appreciated and roundly APP
plauded by their audience. While it
seems invidous to mention few and not
all the dwellings in the town which were
| Illuminated still we cannot refrain from

made.
The demonstration was grand success
and on Tuesday next the old Fifth will
complete her work by rolling up one of
her old-time maiorities for Harrison and
Morton.

Dear Sir:-You have from time to time
published in your paper articles assuming
to show why persons should vote the
National Prohi 5tion Ticket. | herewith
hand you some arguments why temper
ance workers should not vote the ticket.
LIST. The whisky party do not form sep
arate party, but by the organization and
com animation of the manufacturers, whole
sale and retail dealers throw their strength
where it will do the most toward accom-
plishing their purposes. End. See the
vast number of persons that are taught
from the cradle up to manhood and
womanhood to swear eternal enmity to
intoxi cants. How was it at the beginning
of this century or even within the reool-
lections of the oldest of the generations
now living? We hear them tell of the
wood choppings, corn huskings, harvest
ings, Sc, &C., at all of which whis
key, flowed freely and was drank
instead of water. Farmers who would
not give whiskey had great difficulty in
getting, and oft times could not get hands
to do the farm work. Now if whiskey
is drank the devotee must take it in some
secluded place, he is ashamed to let the
world see him drink it. How has this
great change been accomplished? Did
the Prohibition party do it? No sir. 1t
was done by Non Partisan methods.
Commencing with the Washingtonians
followed by many other temperance So
cieties and largely aided by the churches
until the present time the Church and
the l. o. of G. T. stand at the head of
the temperance reform. The W. G. T. U.
gave great promise of being an effective
help in this wolk at the time Of its Or
ganization but unfortunately its useful
ness is being led into partisan work.
What would have been the success of
temperance work had the Washington
ians or even the founders Of Good Tenn
plars started as partisan workers? We
reply without fear of successful contra
diction that at this time they would only
be known to the historian, all traces of
their work would have been obliterated
But they started with high and holy
desire ''to reclaim the fallen and save
others from falling" Their leaders did
not seek political notoriety, but to do the
most good in the quickest way. Hence
we to-day are reapiug the benefit of their
wisdom, and were it not for the influx of
foreign migrants, the majority of whom
bring their home customs with them the
United States to-day would be a nation
without a place to sell intoxicants as a
beverage. As it is we must legislate and
enact laws compelling this element to do
as we wish them in return for the many
benefits they enjoy III this free land. Now
is it best as temperance people to parcel
ourselves out in little company by our
selves and wait twenty five or even ten
years for the love of party to fall as scales
from the eyes of the masses so they can
come and vote with us? Or is it not the
best policy to work with whichever of the
two great parties that will give US the
laws we desire? "Vote as you pray" is a
great maxim with some; while we believe
in the power of prayer we will say to
those tina wish to exercise their faith let

LITERARY NOTES.

The solid reading in Harper'S Magazine
for April is lighted up, and its weight Offset,
by many charming fancies in verse. Poems
are furnished by Andrew Lang, who sings of
Isaack Walton; Elizabeth Stoddard contrib
utos "On the Hilltop" Richard E. Burton,
"a Spring Thought" DORA Read Goodale,
"All's at an End;' and Harriet Prescott

looking Eastward, softly said," is reprinted.
and drawing accompanying it, by Alfred
Parsons. forms the frontispiece of the num-
Der. The old English song, "Sweet Nelly,
my Hearts Delight" is illuminated by two
exquisitely dainty full-page sketches by e.
A. Abbey. This ia rather more liberal sup
ply of poetry than the magazine usually con-
tains, but it is highly proper an cunt for
the spring tide number, and shows which
way the Editors fancies lightly turn.
Mr.. Remnants Siberian papers, illustrated
by Mr.. G. A. Frost, who accompanied Mr..
KEENAN,, on his trip through Asiatic Russia,
will begin in the May Century. Their ap-
pearanee has been deferred on account of the
authors desire to group in preliminary pa
pers-the last of which will be in the April
Century-an account of the conditions and
events in Russia directly related to the exile
system. This system is now to be infinitely
described and deliberately pictured; and by
way of preface to the first illustrated paper
Mr.. KEENAN, will, in brief statement, answer
the question as to how he came to enter upon
his arduous and somewhat perilous inyesti-
cations, and why ne and his companion were
accorded such extraordinary facilities by the
Russian Government itself. In the April
Century Mr.. KEENAN, will write of "The Rus

HUMAN NATURE A GROUND FOR
GRATITUDE.
BY ORvILLE DEWEY.

The advantage of being man is
what l propose now to consider; the
blessing bestowed in our very human
ity, that indeed without which we had
not the power of gratitude.
1 am thankful, then, that l am a
man. This is the central fact, around
which all things range themselves in
clusters of blessings.
l am thankful that am human. l
am thankful that | am not clod, that
am not brute. Nay, nor do ask to
be an angel. l am glad that 1 am
human. Myvery humanity, despite all
that is said against it, is blessing and
gladness to me. Although it may
sound strangely--to the thoughtless
man ON one account, and to the theolog-
ian ON another-yet will say that &C
cept this humanity thankfully with all
its imperfections, with all its weak
nesses, with all its exposures to error
and sin. None but high moral nature
could be so exposed. Although l stand
amid multitude, where the in6rmities
of this nature meet me on every side,
in many, a shaded brow and pale cheek,
in many, countenance where grief and
gladness are strangely mingled, where
joy itself is touched with sadness, yet
still say that, with all the joy and sad
ness of this nature included, inter
woven, and making up one momentous,
mysterious, and touching experience,
accept, l embrace, l cherish it with
gratitude. l rejoice that it is mine.
l. do not wish, repeat, to be some
thing else. do not wish that were
an angel and do not wish that were
like the inhabitant of some distant
star. do not know what he is. But
this humanity that throbs in my bosom
i know what this is. 1t is near me,
it is dear unto me. rejoice that L am
a man.
And upon this l insist, and am going
to insist, because there is, l fear,
commonly prevailing disparagement Of
our humanity, which leaves no proper,
no grateful sense of what it is. There
The Universalist. [volume] (Chicago [Ill.]) 1884-1897, 1888-03-31

is feeling in many minds, as if it was a
misery, misfortune, almost disgrace
to be a man. am not speaking mere
ly of the theological disparagement-
the dull fiction of Oriental philosophy
and of scholastic darkness though
that, doubtless, has helped to create
the common impression that it is but
poor advantage, but a doubtful good,
to be man. am not speaking alone
of that scorn and dissertation by theolo-
gy of the very humanity which it
ought to have loved and helped. There
are other causes that have tended to the
same result-human pride, nissan
thropy, discomfort, anger with our
kind, anger with our lot, and the natur
al sense, too, of human ills and errors.
1t is curious to see how almost all our
higher literature betrays its trusts to
the very humanity which it celebrates,
denies in general what it teaches in
detail, heaps satire and scorn upon
mankind, and yet makes men it's heroes.
Who is it, after all, celebrates the
goodness of God g? 1t is no other than
man. The worshipper, the adorer, the
singer of praises in this world, is none
other than man. If his nature is all
contrast to the divine, what is the val
ne of his praise, of his judgment ? Nay,
how came the divine to be known :?
Man, say, is the worshipper. And
what more is the angel, unless that he
is SO in higher measure or with a
purer intent? There must then be a
beauty in human as we'll in angel
ic nature, or all the beauty of the
creation and of its Maker could avail
nothing, were nothing, to us. know
not what eyes look out from yonder
bright orbs of heaven; but l know that
eye is not, nor soul there, that can see
anything brighter, lovelier, more ma
jestic; more divine, than the glory Of
Him that made US, that made the earth
so Ia1r ana Cne heavens so beautiful
and sublime. l claim kindred with
those jewellers on high. 1 bow with
them in alteration. join my voice to
their lofty anthem. Shall 1 think
lightly of this glorious affinity?
No, am thankful that / am man.
Boldly do say it-that rejoice, that
/ delight in my nature. Irejoice that
God has made me, and made such a
one-a sensitive, social, religious being
-one of the seers, one Of the worship
ers, one of the immortals. Mourn 1
well may that 1 have failed so far, SO
lamentably far, from what he has made
me for. But still 1 must be none the
less thankful for the wonderful sigma
lures that he has set upon my being.
