A RETROSPECT.

A RETROSPECT.
Alas the time, which seems so long,
Since we together worked and thought,
Since we together hoped and sought
For something better, best among
The friends that love to me has brought
How long! and yet
still forget
This change in life which hath been wrought
The summer world lies in the sun:
The almth and glow are everywhere,
The light is quivering in the air;
And yet can but think of one
Dark chamber. and no light is there.
Loving and low
The grasses grow
Above thy closed grave, green and fair.
All buds are blown upon the spray,
Not one has failed of promise given
And yet the sense of want has driven
My thoughts to turn from them away,
And seek for what long have striven
70 feel has past
To rest at last,
Within safer, calmer heaven.
The woods are full of song again;
There is no note which e'er was heard
But sounds once more; there is no bird
But has returned. wonder. when
I hear them, that my heart is stirred
To think alone
Of that voice gone
From lips SO deep in earth inferred
The light, the bloom, the sounds, which
seem
Complete and ample, but for this
One sense, one presence which miss
From each one, leave me but to deem
This is the want which is the bliss
Of heaven to fill;
And so / still
Hope on to join my quest with his.

whisky Must Down.

From letter Of DR.. Rufus G. Bur-
Lesson to the Waco Advance we make
the following extract. We give it
as a sample Of vigorous English with
out endorsing all it's phraseology.
Whisky is to-day the greatest mo-
nopoly on earth. It can control
more money and moro political trick
sters than any other power on this
planet. There is no creed it will not
profess, there is no party, no univer-
sity, no church, no state it will not
espouse to carry out its hellish pur-
poses of pillaging and plundoring and
pilfering.
The grand Infamous edict Of whis-
ky is to "promote all men to Office
who favor our interests, and put
down every man, Democrat, Repub-
lican, Greenback or, Saint or Sinner,
Jew or Gentle. who does not work
for us.
But the day is near at hand whep
every man who has any respect for
decency and himself, or any love for
his wife, his sister, his mother or his
country, will rise up and scouge the
whisky demon, this arch enemy of
God and man, from our homes, our
churches and altars Of liberty. There
are scores and hundreds OF third and
fourth rate politicians collared down
in "doubting castles" ready to tear
off their collars and assert their man
hood. These are no idle words.
Ofthe thousands of Baptist Church
es in America there 10 not one but
would expel preacher or deacon for
making or selling liquid fire and dis
titled damnation. The work goes
on grandly. And the most pitiable
object on earth is for any man with
spark of manhood in him to think
our heaven-born cause is crushed be-
cause the whisky power brought up
and gulled enough Dutch, Bohemi-
ans, negroes and Mexicans to vote
down the amendment, and hired
few dirty-mouthed politicians to
blackguard the women and preach
ers.
On August 5, 1 put on two prohi-
bition badges to show that I intend
ed to fight whisky with two fold power,
and il there is any prohibition voter
ready to surrender because Of our AL
amo defeat, August A, 1887, / advise
him to go to the graves Of Santa
Anna, Coss, Filisola and Delgado,
and beg pardon for the reckless inn
prudence of Gen. Houston, Gen.
Burleson, Rusk, Lamar and others,
If the piety, and intelligence and
dencncy of Texas is to be domineered
over by drunken negroes, ignorant
Mexicans, larger beer Germans, I
move that they appoint the earl OF
Warwick George Clark Barney Gibbs
and the chairman Of the rottan egg
committee at San Antonio to 90 to
Coahuia and ask that Texas become
q regular Mexican province, and
apologize for the last ffty years.
But such bastard spirits are few. We
have had our Alamo and Goliad, and
they have prepared us fully for our
glorious San Jacinto.

THE UNRETURNING.

Spring comes again In beauty unto earth,
In all her recesses of light and shade,
The Joy of sunshine and the mellow rain.
Fen querulous Age, leaning upon his staff,
Peers from dim eyes to welcome her return,
And wrinkles his lean features into smiles;
And lusty youth, with song and madrigal
Goes forth to meet her in the budding
groves,
And with rejoicings, follows where her
steps
Awake the slumbering beauty of the flowers,
No more, o. never more, will her return
Bring back the joys of recollected days.
Though, sitting on the sun-crownod bill,
she sing
''Rejoice. relolce, o Love, rejoice with me!
Rejoice and come with me, for now the fir
Drops balsams, and the tender leaf appears,
The sweet young corn puts out its tiny
blade,
The elm it's buds, and every vine Its green;
Rejoice and come with me; the coppice
yields
The balm of waxen calyx swol'n with life,
And all the dells are fiery with the rose,
And all the meres with cowslips turn to
gold. -.
.'Reioice, rejoice, o Love, rejoice with me!'
No more th' accustomed haunt, the popu-
lous grove,
Full of young life and old decay, where
CLINT
Innumerable wings through interlacing
boughs,
Shall he revisit for whom love now mourns,
Sitting with folded wings beside his grave;
Who waned in dawning, like morning
star.
In the full flush of the unclouded day.
-Florus B. Plimpton.

All Along the Line.

The seeds of prohibitian sown in
Iowa are beginning to bring up fruit
in soil which, until recently, seemed
entirely unproductive. Keokuk,
which thus far has ignored the law
by licensing saloons, has awoke to
the enormity OF the crime and de-
clared that hereafter no licenses
shall be granted.
Dubuque, where whisky and beer
have been sold as openly as before
prohibition was enacted, is now en-
forcing the law successfully. The
Dubuque Times Of the 10, says:
The liquor cases were brought up
in the district court yesterday morn
ing by Capt. Adams, and after some
argument on the part of Mr.. Fouke
and the former, Judge Ney ordered
that permanent injuuctions issue in
the cases of j. p. Farley VS.. II. j.
Cox, as prayed for in the petition
with an attorney fee of $50. The
same order was made in the case of,
Farley VS.. Charles Thill and Arthur
OMally, with an attorney fee OF 800
in the latter case; and in the case OF
Farley ys. Frederick Boxleiter and
Joseph Wittmer, q judgment for
cost was entered, the d deiendents
named having moved from the prem
ises occupied by them when the suit
was commenced.
Concerning the enforcement in In
dependence The Waterloo Reporter
says:
Five Independence saloon keepers
received valentine Tuesday in the
shape of permanent injunctlons
against them and the buildings they
occupy. An agreement was made
between the state and the defend
ants that tie indictments now against
them should be dismissed st the
next term Of court at defendants
cost, # there are no violations Of the
injunctions, and that the owners Of
the buildings be allowed TO use them
for legitimate purposes-
And last. bat not least, from unex-
pected sources, comes the news that
Judge Brannan granted perpetuai in
functions against a batch OF saloon
keepers At Clinton Mondsy.-Cedar

81 LOVED HIM So"

Because of one dear infant head
With golden hair
To me all little heads
A halo wear
And for one sanity face knew
All babes are fair.
Because of two wide, earnest eyes,
So kind and true,
Which looked with yearning gaze
My sad soul through,
All eyes now fill mine own with tears,
Whate'er their hue.
Because of little death-marked lips
Which once did call
My name in plaintive tones,
No voices fall
Upon my ear in vain appeal
From children small.
Two little hands held in my own
Long, long ago,
Now cause me, a. wander through
This world Of woe,
To CLASP each baby hand stretched out
In fear Of foe.
The lowest can not plead in vain,
loved him 50.

Washington was enlivened last
week by the meeting of the "Inter-
national Council of Women" some
very interesting addresses being de.
livered and papers read. The or
ganization known as the Knights of
Labor came in for a goodly share of
attention. Mrs. Loud said "that
women's great influence in the
Knights of Labor is being felt wher-
ever women of character have joined
that order. Her WORK in the order
is manifest in the banishment of to-
bacco and rum from the assembly
rooms and in the greater effect upon
herself in the development of a
stronger character. She is begin
ming to question il it is right TO vote,
to speak and hold Office in these as
semblies. why is it wrong for her TO
do so in the statsi Her official rec
ognition is slow because Of man
selfishness and her own timidity and
disinclination TO push ber claims.
And then Office has not and never
will have the attraction for q woman
that II has for q man. The Knights
Of Labor Is the grand educational
force among the masses. the barrier
that protects capital and money from
the results Of their folly and crime

POOLING THE DOCTORS.
The Extraordinary Deception trac-
ticed by a Western Jail Bird.

From, the Neu York Times
EDwvRDsNrLLE, ILL, Jan 22.-During
the first week in November a stylishly
dressed couple arrived at Alton, Ill and
registered at the Central Hotel as l. M.
Logan and wife. Mr.. Logan professed to
be chemist who had discovered a valuable
process for making fine perfumery at
nominal cost, and which only required capl-
tai IN order to enable those who might m
terest themselves in the manufacture OF
the perfumery TO become enormously
wealthy in a short time. He IN
duced two Alton men to invest 5000
IN the scheme, and told wonderful
tales OF his &c IS of roses IN California,
while the lady charmed all with whom she
conversed, After securing the money
Logan disappeared, and his victims finally
run him down at Sedala, Mo He was
lodged in Jail at Edwardsville, The con-
tinement in the jail among the common
burglars and horse thieves did not suit this
gentleman, and he gradually wasted away
until, on Dec %, he was attacked with neu-
ralgla. BY noon on Dec 2S he was completely
deaf. On the same day the pupils OF his
eyes became very greatly dilated, and by
night he was blind. On Jan. he lost
his voice. DR. William Olive, Of this
place was called in on Dec 81, and after an

afflicted with palpitation of the heart, cpl
eptic fits and dyspepsia sometimes splitting
blood and being unable to retain any 70
on his stomach. On Jan. l6 he had convul-
sions and the Sheriff called in DR.. Feigen-
baum, who, after "A thorough examination,
sad that he had a tumOr or absceSs in his
brain about three inches back of the frontal
bone and that be was bound to die.
On Jan. 3 he had been removed from the

lie remained N bed seemingly unconscious
from that time until this morning at 10
a. IN. Three physicians pronounced the
case one of absCeSS on the brain, and two
noted surgeons from st. Louis were called
in to perform an operation. When the sur
geons, who believed they had a remarkable
case, gathered around the bed, Logan lost
his nerve and, jumping up, said he had
been shamming. The surgeons could
scarcely believe their senses, but the pris-
oner said it was the truth, and he did it to
keep out of the penitentiary. He said that
he caused the dilatiOn of his eyes by the use
of belladonna, which he had kept concealed
between his toes The fits We're feigned and

produced by swallowing tobacco juice; the
palpitation of the heart and rushes of blood

contracting his chest, meanwhile holding
his breath; the rapid pulsation by striking
his elbow against the wall.
