AS We Go Marching On.

In all the legislation at the seat OF

is rooted out, in others it is allowed
to be established, but the. great in

none Of u business, certainly, but
IN this day of moral reform by the

easy it is to make a bad thing good
IN one place, whereas, it is hell in an
other. The manner in which unequal
