Ing ear TO his honey cd words, charmed
out OF ell sense and reason By the
establishments Of her inWArdly chuck
ling old beau.
She wonders ht him little, a bis big
eyes, big ears, big mouth, long nose,
long arms, (saloors, liquor dealers
whisky pAradss, brewers wagons, etc. }
but he assures her they are ell in some
way for her good, and she believes him;
through what logic does not appear Il
tbs Test Of mAnkiud, but It seems 10 be
sAtisfy ing to her.
Only wait till We get out Of thest
woods, he says in his evil old heart,
smaoking his lips already In antiOipA-
tion OF the good time he will have IL
making an end OF her. Yet he smirkt
very ehnlk enoe Of good will, laughing
In his sleeve meanwhile ct her little

is only Republican WAtcbguard that
has kept her safe thus far, and only q
Repub loan arrow will save her OF last
II Bhe ts saved At all. Yet how does she
requite this her frlend2 10 the face OF
ons OF the most fAteful COL fiiots the
world has ever known, the powers OF
goo1 and evil ln mortal combat for the
possession Of our fair land, she is MOI
AshAmtd TO proclaim that her 'Sympa

arch enemy Of every good cAuse In ouI

II the worst comes to the worst abe
jeserves her fac. Faithfully she has
been warned. Friends have called and
sntreAted, and reasoned and wept. She
has boen shown plainly the pit awning
before beri set having been Rspubll-
oan d ,st, she, In virtue OF her ante
oadents and training, hardly needs g

she csres to know, that the wolf has

his spots.
II with her aid the Democracy should
now triumph, which God forbid, she
will o. this great orisis in our history,
do more ham than all our temperance,

may have for her priceless dover the
blesBlngH instead Of the e1rBes Of unborn
mLllGns. When the children cry ont
for bread that the half paid labor OF
both father and mother will often fail Il
