The spirit OF poetry moveth itself in Chi
cago. Whether it moveth itself Alright is
another question, of course. Here are three
little gems W oh yesterdays mail brought.
They speak for themselves:
THE BOY AND THE WIND.
A boy stood on the government pier
Wishing to catch some fishes;
He stopped B. cough,
The wind blew him off:
He is now one of MoGinty's visitors.
A boy stood in barber shop.
With whistbroom in his fingers;
And all of q sudden there came gust of wind,
And the whist blew through his fingers.
"A boy took bath In the lake one cold winters
day,
his hair froze stiff and twistless;
The wind blew strong,
His hair is all gone,
And he is now seeking advice from the Suther-
land sisters.
The second poetic spasm carries in its
title the cheering hope that it can never be
repeated
THE OLD MANS DIENG WORDS.
How the sun rose on that Morns
OF those years long, long ago,
How the shepard blew his horn
When the hevcns were aglo.

But the bliss has long gone by;

And lay me down TO die.
And nv dying wishes are
That may be
Layed upon tho cliffs
That overlook the sea-
Place this hand on my Bosen
And this one toward the sky,
And there in peace and comfort
Let my dear old body lie.
We hope that this request so soulfully
and pathetically expressed, may be COM
piled with at once. The third production
sustains the high literary standing of the
two preceding it:
THE SEA.

! "Lemuel Finkenbinder, it is time to get

Altar IN the east the gray dawn of a frosty
November morning had family impressed
itself on the reluctant and unrespensive
horizon, and the darkly frowning sky bad
begun to look as IL it felt Streaked with
premonitions of a coming day that should
reveal everything it had been trying to
hide. No sound stirred the sluggish atmos-
phere save the harsh, fuzzy, perfunctory
whistle of distant locomotive that either
had the asthma or found it hard work to
achieve the proper pucker on account #
the cold, and would not have wbistled
anyhow if it hadn't been compelled to do
1t by the regulations of the soulless corpor-
alton it was 'rking for.
"Lemuel FinKenbinder, 1t Is time for Us

She shook him and shouted in his ear
again, but he felt not the jerking and her
voice sounded like the soft murmur of the
waves that wash the shore of the land of

Again he wandered down the happy val
lev, hand in hand with his hearts idol, as
l. l. -
the trees above their heads, and the grassy
carpet beneath their feet waved to and fir
IL fantastic pillows, as if stirred hy the
wings of passing fairies. Again he looked
into the melting blue eyes, in whose soft
answering glances he read the story of
trusting girihood's deep and fearless devo-
tion and his heart swelled with pride and
JOY.

bumps.
He opened his eyes His cherished wife,
the partner OF his joys, sharer OF his sor-
rows, loving caterer TO his astronomical
whims and disbursing agent of his treas

out of bed into the cold. cold air that came
freely in through the open window.
He sat up in bed. A full realization of
his dignity as a man, his position as head
of the Finkenbinder family. its champion,
bulwark and defender came upon him.
Memories of the past, with its errors of
Judgment, orissions of duty, and overt
acts and transgressions for which he could
find no adeqr tie excuse rose wildly before
him. 1t was not too late to shake off :
lethargy, assert his manhood and vindicate
himself.

lay down again and composed himself tn

II seems after ali that has been said and
done, there is one newspaper in Cumber-
land that dare speak out in loud and open
condemnation of the iniquitons excise

The paper in question is a monthly church
organ, published in the interest of the
Central N. T. Church. Bridgetou, with
circulating list OF perhaps few hundred.
Governor Albeit, presumably, has not as
yet heard Of il, OF he might tell the publish
ers, as lie is reported to have told some
other publishers there, Republican pul lish-
ers too, mind you, ''that unless they were
d-n careful how they handled the excise
commission law and the relation of the
democratic party thereto, they would be
cut ia the official printing and the publish
ing Of the laws this year"

moment, the extreme gravity of the sl.ua.

few weeks, npon the lips Of every temper

sneh an utterance is only too plainly visi-
to aIt ka
ernor Albeit OF the Excise Board fer Cum
berland county is in truth a gross insult
to the rights OF our people. From time
immemoTial the right Of the majority to

irst time IS that right denied. For years
Bridgeton has been without the curse of
ram and the open saloon, and prosperity
has smiled upon US. fhe people have al
most unanimously declared that rum
shonld not rule our town, that order,
s0briety and temperance should be every
where enforced. Long and hard was the
task to educate the minds of our good
citizens to the necessity and right of these
things, bnt patience was at last rewarded
and our beautiful city became widely
known as moral city, city where intem-
perlnce was not legaIzed OF such a
reputation We justly felt the spirit of pride
burn within MS. Now the scene is changed.
The saloon is again il our midst aud in
stead oftempcrance and order jntemperance
and disorder will prevail. All this too.

voice in the matter, without opportunity
to say whether or no thew desired it, The
right of the Jep to rule the many aud the
unjust principle that might makes right
are FOR once plainly demenstra ted. The
saloon has commanded our Legislative
body and their dictates have been obeyed.
Such a condition OF affairs is sadly deplor-
able and rightly arouses the angry i'm
pulses of our nature. Surely there is
abundance OF work at hand for the Christ

knees and earnestly entreat God that tem-
perance may be restored to US, and our

Woman,s worst Enamy.

The crowd assembled to listen to Mrs.
Zerelda Wallace last evening in her lecture
or temperance taxed the Union Park Con-
gregational church to its full capacity.
Mrs Wallace is the mother OF Gen. Lew
Wallace. the author of ''Bea Hur,'' and
it is her character and nature that her son
has portrayed in the admirable mother of
his book. She is a quiet, motherly little
woman, who dresses simply in black, with
a white drapery about her neck and fasten-
ed at the breast. Her lair is short, curly
and nearly snow white, for she is now over
70 gears of age. But she Is still hale and
vigorous. She speaks in calm, natural
voice, without the least attempt at oratori-
cal display. Sometimes an earncstness of
feeling calls forth an easy gesture of the
right hand as a mark of emphasis. At
such times her head is raised and one feels
that her eyes are sparkling behind the
glasses.
Though the subject OF the lecture was
Temperance it was treated throughout
as question that will be settled as soon
as the ballot is in the hands of woman
She touched on tho relative merits Oft
sexes and dwelt at some length on the
evi's arising from the unjust disqualified
ton OF what is SO generally conceded to
be the better half of humanity. The
mother voice trembled ia saying that boys
while in the mothers care are taught to be
honorable in all things, and that their first
step out into the world they meet men in
high places rgthlessly violating the com
mandments in their struggle for gold.
La this connection she read several ex-
tracts from the speeches of eminent polti-
clans, among them that now famous pas
sage by ex-senator Ingalls, beginning ''The
publication of. politics is an iridescent
dream"
She urged that the mother from the fact
Of motherhood is the natural director Of

little ones. She iDstanced the barpyard.
where, when danger approaches. the male

On the liquor question she spoke Of the
guilt Of the dealers and the crimc oflcense
as being partnership with them. "If
men will keep hands of, TIC women will
clean out the traffic without ballot, y she
said. ''Bat the ballot in the hands of
