Temperance societies would do we'll
to get copy Of Mr.. John Morley 8
late speech before the British Parlia-
ment. In attacking the conservative
policy he deals with the drink prob
lem, ungloved. He declares that 70
the philanthropist it is known as a
deep root Of private misery; the mag
istrate finds in it source Of social
disorder, and no statesman need to
look more than an inch below the sur
face without finding in it "much more. -
He especially arraigns it as disturber
of honest politics. No condition Of
the day SO seriously threatens every
party and every policy as this traffic,
which, as he says, throws its weight
Of millions upon millions to this or
that side solely with reference to its
own perpetuity and profit. He says
Of the English brewer, as we have long
said Of the American saloon-keeper,
in war or peace he knows but one
party, and that is the one which will
favor the saloon; he knows but one
platform and that is immunity to
trade. He is either expansionist or
c0ntractionist as are the legislative
friends of the saloon. He will vote
for the flag or its rival as the interest
of his rum barrel may dictate. He
has but one country, it is his saloon;
but one standard, it is his license to
sell. He knows but one policy, and
that is to sell more liquor. He boasts
that for every So raised to maintain
law and preserve order he will put
down $500 to protect the undisturbed
immunity Of the bar. The liquor
traffic, says Mr.. Morley, has no inter
est in any question affecting the well
fare of the State; but no detail Of leg
islation is Insignificant to him if it
affect his barrel or his jug.-1He In

"Congratulating myself on having

With che lesson CT the text before us
let us learn to look for Jesus as the
storms of life grow fierce and more
awful. And let US feel we'll assured
that He is with us, and therefore we
cannot suffer shipwreck; for know this
we'll: He is always master of the stu
alton. It is for us to hear His voice
and take Him into our life's bark.
And mark me well: not until we take
Him in, and also give him the helm.
shall we exper 'ence the calm and rest
after tho storm. Do we not miss
much Of peace in life because We will
not trust the helm into Jesus hand? ?
There is much half-heartedness in the
faith OF some Of us-who may see Je-
sus in the storm, may hear His voice
but feel unable to yield up the boat
to His guidance, to sit at His feet, and
despite threatening elements, to sing,
''My Jesus, as Thou wilt"
So that boat is ever on troubled
seas-and there is no rest and peace
Of body and conscience and soul. MY
friends, believe me, we should have
no storms in life, for Jesus is eve.
ready by His actual presence to har.
ness the highest waves and make them

SEVERE COLD!
ZERO WEATHER FROM TEXAS TO
HAINE.
Unprecedented suowstorm in This
Locality.

The country is and has been for the
past week enveloped in a cold wave,
which in many places has been unprece-
dented for severity. From Texas to
Maine zero weather has been experienced.
rivers are frozen over, and heavy falls of
now have been reported. OF the latter
Charles Town and vicinity are probably
enveloped in the very heaviest. In a6di-
ton to the previous SHOWS already on the
ground, snow commenced falling here
again Saturday afternoon, and fell Con-
tinuously until yesterday evening. High
winds prevailed meanwhile, and there
has been much drifting, blockading roads
in every direction. 1t is difficult to COM
pute the average snowfall, but it is safe
to estimate that it is near two-and-a-ha1f
feet.
Trains are showed up on both the B.
& o. and N. & w. railroads, all trains
have been abandoned, and no mails are
being received or dispatched from here
IN any direction. Charles Town is at this
writing completely snow-bound, with no
immediate prospect of relief.
Not since the big snow of 1867 has
anything approaching the present snow
fall been experienced, and for severity
and duration the cold of the past week
has been unequalled in this latitude with
in the memory of the oldest inhabitaut
From six to thirteen degrees below zero
the thermometer has ranged here the past
week, and to-day for the first time begins
slowly to take an upward fight Should
this tendency prove rapid and continuous,
fearful floods must necessarily ensue.
Fhe electric lights went out last night
before 1o:3oo'clock--thec coal supply being
exhausted and railroads blockaded.

MONUMENT TO MosBY's MEN
70 be Erected a. Front ROYAL, Va.


A special from Alexandria, Va, says:
The contract for the erection of monument
ct Front Royal, Va, to the memory of seven
members of Mosbys command, who were
killed in that town, has been awarded by a
committee to the Alexandra. Va, Marble
Company. The monument will be of rough
granite, twenty-five feet in height, upon a
double base, which will be properly inscrib-
ed. A tablet of bronze will also be placed
near the base of the monument 1t will
show 1.-THE Partisan at Bay" A stalwart
Hosby man, whose steed has fallen, pierced
by the bullets Of the enemy, still bestrides
the fallen horse, and, turning, points his re-
volver at advancing assailants with an eye
Offire that seems to say, "siI of you shall
bite the dust before my blood stains the soil
ofmy home, which am defending"
hecommittee having the matter in charge
are Lieut.. Ben Palmer. of Richmond, Va;
Lieut. Boyd Smith, of Alexandria, Va; Jo-
seph Bryan, of the Richmond Times; John
r. Tillett, of Manassas. Va, and G. E. Bed
Ter, OF Baltimore. 1t will be some time be-
fore the monument is completed. 1t will
be placed at a prominent point on Front
Royals principal street, the scene of many
q bloody encounter between Mosby's men
and their foes. The dedication OF the nonu-
msnt will, it is expected, gather Masby's
men from Baltimore, Washington and all
sections Of the country ano will be an event
in the history of the Commonwealth.

Not vainly did old poets tell,
Nor vaiuly did old masters scan,
Earth's great and crowning miracle
The hero and the man:
For even in faithless day
Can VIC our worthy ones discern;
And feel, while with them on the way,
Our hearts within US burn.
And SO the common tongue and pen
Which widely echo Rouss' fame,
See one of Gods true uoblemen-
And honor thus his name.
In vain may States their portals bar
And shut from him the civic prize,
Whom, in the worlds long calendar,
All men will recognize.
Near by yon rivers rugged way,
Beneath the green embowering wood
To some, it seems but Yesterday
Since in their ranks he stoed-
A soldier brave-a comrade true;
Duty to all he understood
And like the nymph Aglain. knew
The joy of doing good.
By his aid old barriers fall
Old feuds subside, old hatreds melt,
And stretching DER the broken wall
"The Saxon greets the Get"
Unknown TO power or place, yet where
His generous deeds are done,
A 3encdiction, born of prayer,
Is breathed by every one.
