"Why, wot is the matter, Jane?" SEE |;
Matter enough" was her reply.
II wouldn't go preachin' temperance
An votin' fer licence, both ter Wunce!
wouldn't stan up in church and pray
Fer the curse of. drink to be took away;
Fer the Lord in mercy to look an bless
The needy wilder an fatherless
An then march up to the polls nex' day
An vote jest eggsackly the other way!

At least a little grain of sand;
An whenever pOlvtcshun showed
His rum-blossomed nose round my abode
An commenced his blasmey to git my vote
A singin' the song he'd larnt by rote,
I'd spunk up to him and tell him wot

We hear much said about giving men

when the truth is there is less payed for
labor in their manufacture than in any
thing else, for instance, man buys $l00
worth of furniture, he buys $2377 of labor.
In every 500 worth of hardware he buys
$24.17 IF labor. In every 800 worth of
clothing he buys $l7.42 of labor. In every
500 worth of cotton goods he buys $l69l
of labor. In every 500 worth of mems
furnishing goods he buys 1894 of labor.
In every $l00 worth of worsted goods he
buys $1355 worth OF labor. In every 800
worth of wooden goods he buys $12.86 of
labor. But in every 800 worth of liquors
he buys but 1923 of labor. If you spend
$500 for furniture, hardware. clothing. cot
ton, worsted and wooden goods &c you con-
tribute $137.43 to labor. and at the same
time they bring valuable supplies to their
families, they stimulate business and add
to the demand for labor.
II the $500 is spent in the saloon only
1884 goes for labor, the families are made
wretched and the men themselves are
made worse physically, financially and
morally, their jobs are imperiled and they
have wasted their money.-The New Voice.
Did you ever analyze child? A child
is composed of questions, fun. enthusiasm
and fidelity. A child is bundle of springs

laugh or cry. Any method of training
that keeps it from asking questions or tell
ing tales so il will not laugh or cry is
wrong. Every child is a bud. Be careful
that your training will bring forth love anc
virtue.
Yet we legalize business. our govern
ment even going into partnership with tht
traffic which is the cause of nine-tenths O
every instance where the Mt. Sinai law il
violated.
And for what-for every dollar our gov
eminent receives for its share of the reve
nue. of the business, it costs it sixteen doll
ars to take care of the results of the sam
business and you tax payers pay the bill
Profitable business is it not?
