TEMPERANCE.
rBR pRUNKARD's DAUGHTER.

The circumstances which induced the
writing of the following most touching and
thrilling lines are as follows: A young lady
of New York was in the habit OF writing to
the Philadelphia Ledger, on the suolec1 OF
temnerance. Her writing was SO full OF
rathos. and evinced such deep emotion OF
soul that a friend of hers accused her OF
beino a maniac on the subject or temper
ance whereupon she wrote the following
lines:
Go feel what have felt
Go bear what l have borne
Sink meath the blow father dealt
And the cold worlds proud scorn:
Then suffer on from year TO year
The sole relief the scorching tear.
Go kneel as have knelt,
Implore. beseech and pray
Strive the besotted heart to melt,
The downward course to stay;
Re dashed with bitter curse aside,
Your prayers burlesqued, your tears dehed.
Go weep as have wept
Ger a loved fathers fall
See every promised blessing swept
Youths sweetness turned to gall
Iife's fading flowers strewed all the way
That brought me up to woman's day.
Go see what | have seen,
Behold the strong man bow,
With gnashing teeth, lips batned IN plooo,
And cold and livid brow;
Go catch his whitening glance. and see
There mirrored, his souls misery.
Go to thy mothers side,
And her crushed bosom cheer.
Thine own deep anguish hide;
Wine from her cheek the bitter tear.
Mark her worn face and withered brow,
The gray that streaks her dark hair now,
With falling frame and trembling limb,
And trace the ruin back to him
Whose plighted faith, in early youth,
Promis'd eternal love and truth,
But who. forsworn, hath yielded up
That promise to the cursed cup,
And let her down, through love and lght
And all that made her prospects bright;
And chain'd her there mid want and strife,
That lowly thing, g drunkard's wife,
And stamp'd on childhoods brow SO mild,
That whitening blight, the drunkard's child!
Go hear, and feel and see, and know,
All that my soul hath felt and known;
Then look upon the wine cups glow,
See if its beauty can atone,
Think if its flavor you Will Try,
When all proclaim, it's drink and die!
Tell me hate the bowl?
Hate is feeble word
Iloathe, abhor, my very soul
With strong disgust is stirr'd
When | see, or hear, or tell
OF the dark beverageo of he'll!

DENIzENs OF DARKEST ENGLAND.

General Booth in his new book, SIN Dark
est England says: Have you ever watched
by the bedside of man in delrium tremens?
Multiply the sufferings of one drunkard by
the hundred thousand. and you have some
idea of what scenes are being witnessed in
all our great cities this moment. As in Africa
streams intersect the forest in every direc-
ton, so the gin shop stands at every corner
with its River of the Water of Death flowing
seventeen hours out of the twenty-four for
the destruction of the people. A population
sodden with drink, stepped in vice, eaten up
by every social and physical malady-these
are the denizens of darkest England, amid
whom my life has been spent and to whose
rescue l would now summon all that is best
in the manhood and womanhood of our land"

The work Of paving Ionia-st. with
asphalt has been delayed since the
signing of the contract on account of
the provision requiring the paving be-
tween the street car tracks to be of
brick. The street Railway Company
insisted that AZ long as they were to
furnish the material, and that Medina
stone is preferable to brick. they con-
sldered that they should be allowed to
use it. The board deferred action in
the matter until yesterday. The board
finally decided TO order the work TO
proceed, and the pavement between the
tracks will be brick. Major McKee's
successor has not Jet been appointed. 80
