Rheumatism

THE DRYAD.

'Tis my pleasure not to know
Much Of mortal joy or pain;
Blithely through my life go
With playful fancies in my brain.
A furtive creature, wild and shy,
/ may not meet a mortal eye.
In densest woods alone lurk
To watch the building birds at work.
Like free, fantastic elf,
l weave my hair with berries red:
Trip and frolic by myself,
And mock the singers overhead.
| H. ed TO be thing Of bliss;
knew no other life than this
But on a day, golden day,
| found a mortal far astray.
| heard his football on the grass,
And held my breath till he should pass.
He had free and rustic grace,
An agile frame, swarthy face;
His coat was green, his cap was red,
His black locks tangled round his head.
| deemed him, as he loitered by,
Almost as beautiful as l.
He paused within an open glade,
And many a solemn word he sald
And ever, when he ceased TO speak,
Large tear-drops trickled down his cheek.
His eyes gazed upwards through the air;
looked, but there was nothing there.
lie raised his arms, hand clasped in hand
His words could not understand
Then sighed and smiled, and so was gone.
Twas there | learned was alone!
When young birds chirp themselves to sleep
sometimes wish that could weep;
/ sit me down upon stone
And feel that am all alone;
| rest my cheek upon my hands
And sigh, but nothing understands;
| sing-my very songs are sad!
| would ne'er had seen the lad.
All me. feel what must be pain;
Would might see the lad again!

Mr.. Brown. however. looked at this
matter in a different light.
Nelly is trump" he said. Mel
ly is not like the typical young lady
who is too lazy towork, and too proud
to beg. She is one who ennobles the
humblest task, and does, with all her
might, whatever her hands find to
do"
So the old proverb came true
Heaven helps those who help them
selves"
Further than this our little story
cannot go at present. but good-natur-
ed gossip does say that ere long Nelly
will be more than houSekeeper 10 Mr..

TEMPERANCE COLUMN.

Rev Mr. Mason, in his speech before
the amendment meeting the other
night. exploded the fallacy Of the
/ LIQUOR men that the amendment pro-
posed is an infringement upon indi-
vidual rights.
A few gentlemen in Chicago short
time since concluded TO exercise per-
sonal rights To the harm OF public
good they lost their lives by it, This
government of freedom means the
/ good Of its people. \ few more may
have 10 be hung before men of foreign
birth and foreign ideas learn its
meaning.
The charge that prohibition is
sumptuary legislation in any proper
sense is groundless any way. Ii is an
attempt 10 transfer the odium OF GER
I tain historic statutes Of ancient legis-
lation TO the only sensible method OF
eradicating the drink-evil Of modern
times. Sumptuary laws were directed
To prevent extravaganza in banquets,
dress and private expenditure, and
proceeded on an entirely different
/ basis from that on which the prohib-
itory liquor laws of modern States
rest. Ii is not intended by prohibit
ton that the State shall regulate pri-
vate expenditures, but il Is intended
TO remove an evil whereby private
wrong is made 10 become n public
nuisance All this hue aud cry about
sumptuary legislation is but an appeal
10 prejudice in the absence OF argu-
ments which appeal TO reason. Ii
prohibition is in any proper sense
sumptuary legislation, how much
more are the statutes which forbid
the selling OF tainted meats and veg
etables. Will the men who so abhor
sumptuary legislation move the re.
peal OF these regulations IL not, let
us have done with their inconsistent
opposition To prohibition because Of
its alleged sumptuary phase. r.
Fitzgerald, d. ID.
We do not look upon the present
movement against the saloon as n
passing wave OF excitement, as n tenn
porary ebullition OF public feeling on
the liquor question. II is too strong
for that IL il movement that has
come TO stay, TO grow and To succeed.
/ Ii has taken hold of the hearts and
minds of the people as no movement
ever did before. The country is at
/ last awakening TO full and truo re-
alization Of the fearful wrongs and
/ compartments Of the drink traffic
/ We have seen the beginning OF the
end. The handwriting Is upon the
wall-the saloon must go. The edict
will not be repealed II may not be
in this decade; il may not be In the
next, but as surely a God reigns the
day is coming, and that soon, when
this land. from east TO west, from
north to south, will be forever free
! from the curse OF the legalized rum
traffic. This is IA large hope, but II IL
ours, and we rejoice in ii. II has it,
basis upon no illusory dream, but up
on n sure and strong conviction, which
nothing can shake. And having this
hope, we are not greatly troubled
about such things as vetoes aud de-
cisions OF the courts. These things
may retard the onward movement for
a brief season, but they cannot stop
it. The rum traffic Is doomed 10 die
