A JOLLY RIDE.

Tuesday night, just at eight,
Ten sleigh loads entered the Asylum
gate,
All on sociability and dancing bent,
With song and mirth the air they rent.
Vivians and Luddens started in the
Then came Fielder with his sturdy
steed,
Bliss and Brown with their four-in-
hand:
Behind came Coxey with his band.
Guttenstein drove his flyers high,
Why?
Morgan, Schiller and Clarke stuck to
the road:
They were the first to dispose of their
load.
The Wrights, Dellers and Hornungs
wanted to go,
And to make sleighing better, we had
to have Snow.
When we went up, of course we had

Hales with his rubber boots to the

1t was hard to walk, so he fairly

The weather was mild; yet we had
some Gales;
Ask the Spenslcys: they will tell the
tales.
Clemcntson was afraid Murdoch would
have chills,
So he took his case and little pills.
We took Justice Kuelling, don't you
sec,
Thinking that perhaps he could catch
fee.
With the Misses James, Jacka, Gill

Mrs. White, Miss Brent, Masten

You had better believe this party was
n hummer;
just ask the boys who came home on
one runner.
Perkins and wife were as jolly as of
yore,
And in perfect condition had the
dancing floor,
OF the Aldersons and llarkcr we were
proud,
With Mrs. PridcauX, they were mu-
sicians for u crowd.
We danced and danced from eight
o'clock,

TO host Perkins and wife, so true,
Our kindest thanks are ever due.

the famous musicians:
Kcwanec Star: The best homes in
Kewanee were deserted last evening.
while every member turned out en-
masse to listen to the beautiful strains

OF Kewanee last fall, and they have a
stronger hold now than ever.
Sterling Gazette: The Salisbury
orchestra concert was u pronounced
artistic success. The Academy was
filled Saturday night with the best
people of Sterling, and every music
lover who heard the concert has since
been loud in its praise. Abby Rose
Wood proved to be favorite. From
n musical standpoint j. was the affair
par excellence of the year.
Galcsburg Republicans: One of the
finest concerts ever heard here was
that given by the Salisbury ochestra
yesterday eve ut the Presbyterian
church. All the players are OF the
highest rank. The opening number
was the overture to William Tell. 1t
was superbly rendered. Such rich
and artististic effects in sound are

ment was finely interpreted. Miss
voice, clear sweet and sympathetic.

and most brilliant gatherings of the
B. i. O. IGlks, was held on Saturday

The Democrat would respectfully
call attention to practice or abuse,
in Mineral Point, that should be at
once prohibited. We refer to fast
driving through the streets. 1t is not
uncommon to see some pedestrian al
most run into by a reckless driver;
and it is sight quite common on Sat
urday evenings to see some drunken
driver, going out of town with his
horses at the top of their speed. We
have in mind an instance, Of only a
few evenings ago, where the driver
after going up High street, and when
Just past the U. S. Hotel, struck his
horses with the whip, and with n
whoop and yell that would do credit
to Camanche Indian, went out OF
town on dead run. Drivers should
be given TO understand that those on
foot have the right of way over All
crossings, and that the streets OF the
city are not for fast or reckless driv-

THE GROWTH OF TEN PERANCE.

The New York Sun, OF recent date
thus replies to correspondent who
asked 1t to "tell who ought to have
the credit for bringing about the great
decrease In drunkenness, in the con
sumption of wines and liquors, in
social life and in the community"
The credit il due chiefly to the grow
ing refinement and nicer sensibilitics
of the community, ~ manifested also
In the increased sensitivcness Of the
public to all suffering, human and
brute. Coarse indulgence OF oil kinds
oifends modern taste. The speech OF
has grown more refined. Swearing IL
going out OF vogue In all It's rudcr
forms. The ripping oaths which in
tcrlarded the speech of gentlemen In
former days, and even within the
remembrance OF the present genera
ton, have been discarded M savoring
of vulgarity. All exhibitions of
violent temper, with the CURSE, and
the reviling which accompanied them,
have fallen under reproach as often
sivc to good manners, of which the
essence Is self-eontrol and nice re-
guard for the sensibilitics of the other
people. Excessive indulgence In
drinking produces results intolerablc
In social Intercourse. A drunkard
makes u nuisance Of himself in So
ciety, and suffers from it's ban
accordingly, This more oxacting so
cial, refinement has been powerful
influence In furthering the growth of
the temperance which distinguishes
this period Of our history. The
three-bottlcd men OF the old days
would outrage the decency of II dinner
of the present time with their swinish
indulgence. The dinners of the past
which used to he end with half the
men under the table, would be inn
possible now, outside of the vllest
circles. Wine Is partaken of sparing-
ly; and has become mere incident
of the feast. In NIL rcpccts the dinner
IL more dccorous and less of II mere
feeding and drinking occasion. The
time of its continuance has been
dccreascd; instead of company
spending two or three or oven four
hours for meal Us formerly, and hour
frequently suilices for an elaborate
dinner. There Is far more moderation
In both eating and drinking than
there used to he. We do not deny
however, that the agitation in behalf
of temperance, so earnestly conducted
for fifty years, has boon contrib
uting cause also. 'nquestionably the
palpable advantages OF temperance,
carried even to the extreme of total
abstinence NJ " matter of pure priu-
ciple, have furnished u practical
demonstration Of the advantages Of
prudence In the use Of alcoholic slim
ulants which has helped materially to
induce temperance. Drunkenness has
been made disreputablc or 1t Is re-
garded ~ n dcplorablo diseases re-
quiring specified medical treatment.
