The Lovers Reasoning.

Tell why love her. Tell me why,
Turning from murky town and pushing men,
You love the woodlands placid sky?
Ill answer then.
Why do I love her. Analyze
Where IN The violets the perfume IS.
Where in the music's strain the tears arise:
Can you do this?
Tell why love her? Yes, when you
Reveal the secrets which in snowdrop lie,
or strain the beauty from the drops OF dew:
Then I'll tell why.
Why do love herY First make clear
Whence steals through minister aisles the
restful spell
That hlls with mystic sense the atmosphere:
then will tell
Yes love, turn 10 thee from glare snd crowd,
Tender as dales in spring, as summers cloud
Soothing as gentlest song, soft as perfume
Purer than beads OF dew or snowdrop's bloom:
/ in thy presence rest where tumults cease;
The minister gate is closed-within is peace

As with her lover by her side.
They wandered DER the meadows wide.
"'Tis Heaven on earth. replied the swain:

The answer did not please the maid.

And slowly shook his silvery crown,
And half in laughter half in frown:
Love IS paradox, my child
'Tis selfish. generous, timid, Wild
By suffering chastened; sin defled
=" II has made martyrs-murderers too;
II has brought peace-and often rue
II heals some hearts-breaks not a few.
Charity asxeth naught OF this;
Envieth not the raptured kiss
Nor pangs and joys Of lovers bliss
at giveth all things: asketh none.
Is by no slight affection won,
Content IL but its work be done.
Love IS confined 10 single twain;
Charity covers earths broad plain;
Love makes, but charity soothes our pain
Love answ IS but a single call,

Taketh nothing-giveth ali

A thing had half forgot,

II is said that in Heaven at twilight

And man may listen and hearken
To the wonderful music that rings.

All the passion, pain and strife,
Heartache and weary longing,

How the bell Of the angels rings.

The Vote Of n SOt.
BY REV. J. c. wIGHTMAN.

BY REV. J. c. WIGHTMAN.
 Are men whose heads are crazy with ardent spirits fit to have control of the dearest interests of society,"? Is there not fallacy in the assumption that the vote of 8 sot is as good as that of 0 sober man :? Socrates, the Athenian philosopher, promulgated the principle that he only is fit to manage public business who man. ages his own business we'll. As class, drunkards ruin those interests over which they have control; they neglect their business sud sqnandcr their estates. In a republic, votes are the helm of state why should it be entrusted to the hands of those who ruin their own affairs by crime? Why should they be allowed to imperil the state? In Sweden, man who is seen drunk four times is deprived of his vote at elections. Here is the point to strike. Cleanse the fountain and all the outflow will be pure. If rum has a right to vote, it has right to choose it's own representatives. Rummy votes elect rummy representatives, and rummy rep resentatives make rummy laws. Rum admitted into the government will not cast out rum; devil will not destroy devil; Satan doth not cast out Satan. To concede the right of drunkenness to enter the penetralia of government is to surrender to it the right to stay there.

(FOr The PreSs.) OLD TIMES.

A little over fifty years ago I lived at East Willington with a man named Vim ton, who had son in Birmah, a mission ary. He also had daughter living at home who had studied the language and fitted herself for teacher in that coun- try. She was about to sail from Boston, and her father wished to see her start.
 The nearest railroad station was Palmer depot, 26 miles away, and when the time came MT. Vinton and I started for Pal mer. Before we reached there MT. Vim ton said that 52 miles would be big drive for the horse, and that must stay in Monson over night. I found Palmer Depot very small place. I could see but two or three houses from the depot, and the depot was not as large as the one at West Willington. MT. Vinton was an old man, but think it was his first ride on the cars. saw him get aboard, and then came back to Monson, and next day came home. So you see it took two days at that time to take passenger to the nearest depot from East Wilmington.
 Seven or eight years later went to work for MT. Fairman at Hydeville. We did not have as many holidays then as now. When it came Fourth of July the young folks all wanted to go somewhere to spend the Fourth. Peter Clemments and Garner Cady kept the two largest livery stables at Stafford Hollow at that time. Their best horses would be en- gagged for weeks before the Fourth. On this Fourth party of young people went to Springfield, and accepted an invita- tion to join them. I took as my compan- ion girl from Dalevile. The party from Stafford put up a hotel near the old depot. There were about II GOO inhabitants in Springfield at that time. After dinner we drove about the city. Main street was not very thickly settled then, and no electric cars scared our horses. When I got ready to go home I went by way of Rockville. I remember the American mill was being built there at that time. When got home at Hydeville figured up the round trip for the two or three days that had celebrated and found that I had driven 125 miles, but could hire a good horse and buggy then for ten cents mile. But railroads were scarce then, and people had to depend on horse power if they wanted to ride. The Daleville girl and were on good terms, but it so happened that did not see her again for some time. In few years she got mar ried and went to live in the southern part of the state. A few years ago, while I

and non-sectiOnal. It acknowledges no allegiance to any political creed or asso- citation. It urges all it's members who have the right to vote to discharge that duty; but it leaves every voter absolutely free from ecclesiastical interference to determine for himself for whom his ballot shall be cast. The right of suffrage, or the franchise, we regard as, a great and responsible trust, which should in all cases, ecclesiastical and civil, be exer- cised conscientiously, but in absolute per sonal freedom. When moral issues are before the public, our people are invaIia- ply found on the side of the highest stand ard but even then they choose their own party affiliations, and refuse to be dic- tated to as to the matter of their votes.
 "The principles so announced are in- dorsed and reaffirmed."
 After motion to lay on the table, which was lost, and various motions to amend, under call for the previous ques- tion on the substitute, Dr. J. G. Evans, chairman of the committee, spoke. He denied that the report was partisan, and said: "We propose to place ourselves as a church on gospel ground-on the truth. We should have breadth enough and manhood enough to rise above all party considerations and speak the truth about this murderous traffic, fearless of all crit icism and regardless of all political preju- dices. Judge Lawrence says that the selling of liquor is a natural right. That is unfortunate for the judge or for the su- preme court of the United States which says that mo citizen has an inherent right to sell liquor.'"
 No more eloquent or effective speech was made during the whole conference than that of Dr. Evans. He was fre- quently applauded, and seemed to have turned the tide against the substitute which, after an intellectual call of certain ministers for a vote by orders, was lost by vote of 200 to 246. The vote was then taken on the adoption of the report of the committee which, after another in- effectual call, this time by the laymen, for a vote by orders was carried. The applause by the friends of the report was great and protracted. Men clapped their hands, waved handkerchiefs and papers, or threw the latter into the air, in token of their delight at the adoption of this truly great report. Dr. c. J. Little then moved that "it is the sense of this con- ference that this report does not indorse any political party" which was adopted.

The neighbor, Mrs. Parker, said, "Wait a minute, do you know this lady?" I said "no." She said, "Did you ever see her before?" again said "no." She asked me if was cer- tain of this.
