His form was fair, his cheek was houlth ; His word a bond, his purse was wealth ; With wheat Lis Held was covered o'er ; l'lentv sat nulling at lib door. His wife, the fount of ceaseless Joy, Now laughed his daughters ; played his boy. His lihiary. though large, was read Till half its contents decked his heaJ. At noon tw;u health, wealth, pure delight ; Tvas health, wealth, peace an l bliss at night. I wished not to disturb his bliss ; Tis gone ! but all the fault Is his. The social glass I saw hlin seize. The m ire with festive wit to please. And to iucreas) his love of cheer. Ah. little thought he I was near t Gradual indulgence on him stole ; Frequent became the midnight bowl. I In that bowl the headache placed, Vhlh, with the juice, bis lips embraced. Shame next I mingled with the draught ; Indignantly he diank and laughed. In the bowl's bottom bankruptcy I placed ; he drank with tears and glee. Remorse did I Into It pour : Ho only sought the bowl the more. I mingled ucxt Joint torturing pain ; Little the more did he refralu. The dropsy In the cup I mixed. Still to his mouth the cup was tlxcd. My euiUsaries thus in vain I sent the mad wivlch to restrain. On the bowl's bottom then myself I threw the most abhorrent elf Of all tht mortals bate or dread ; And thus in horrid whispers said : 'Successless ministers I've sent Thy hastening ruin to prevent ; Their lessous naught then hem am I ; Think not my threatening to defy. Swallow this-this thy last wiUbeJ For with it thou must swallow me 1" Haggard his eyes, upright his hair ; Remorse his lips, his cheeks despair ; With shaking hands the bowl he clasped. My meatless limbs his carcass grasped, And bore it to the church yard, where Thousands, ere I would call, repair. Death speaks ah ! reader, dost tht u heai? Hast.tho1.: no lurking cause to fear? Has yet o'er thee the sparkling bowl Constant, commanding, sly control? Betimes reflect ; betimes beware, Though ruddy, healthful now and fair. Before slow reason lose the way. Reform ; postpone another day. You soon may mix with common clay. Dbcs Prohibition Prohibit t Uev. C. P. Taylor, writing from Eu reka, Kan., on thi3 question, gives some telling facts aliiruiiiig the ques tion. We make an extract or two from bis letter. He says: I have been in Kansas several weeks and have traveled several hundred miles, stop ping in a number of towns, large and small, for several days at a time, and have made it my business to see for myself and to inquire of tha most re liable citizen" in regard to the matter. I have seen but one open "saloon in Kansas, and the almost universal statement is: the saloons and bars are all closed, and we have had less diffi culty iu effecting this desirable result than we apprehended. Drunkenness has almoft disappeared from public view. I have seen but one intoxi cated man since I entered the state, and he was wailing at the tyranny of a state that took away the liberty ol its citizens. The contrast between Kansas and the neighboring state of Missouri is very great. There free whisky is found everywhere, and saloons, bars and the liquor traflic are triumphant. I spent one day in Kansas City, and one oi tne most noticeable lea- ture3 of this city of surprising growth is the frequency of saloons upon all the streets, the constant clinking of :lasses to be heard continually be hind the screens, and the number of red-faced, partly intoxicated men to be seen on the streets. On the train which took me out of Kansas City in one car was one man lying dead drunk behind the door, with his feet stick ing out across the aisle to be stumbled over, and three other well dressed men so drunk and indecently boisterous tnac tne conductor nau to remove them and put them under guard. Pro hibition would be a great blessing to Kansas City and Missouri, and there is a growing feeling among her best citizens that a prohibitory amendment is the only remedy for the pivvailing vice of intemperance, so deeply rooted iu the habits the people. So a mob has burned the city mar shal's house, and the deputy marshal has been dangerously, if not fatally, beaten Ln a town of Indiana because they were enforcing the law against selling rum on Suutlav and after eleven o'clock at night ou other das. We will not say we are glad of it, but this we will say that as it is done we are glad to publish it, and tliat it ought to turn out to the furtherance of the gospel of temperance and suppiesnion of the liquor traffic. Rum and the. traffic in it embody rebellion against all law, human and divine. You can not smite a hornet's nest and not expect the hornets to respond. 'Tis their nature to." But you do not give up your bedroom to hornets be cause they have made a nest in your absence or while you slept. The mob was but a feeble expression of the terrible work of rum. Rum's worst work is done when it disperses the mob among the familiesof the village, town or city, when it slowly changes youth into such demons as make the mob. Christian Advocate T went out to see a friend.' marked Jones to hi3 wife the other evening as he returned to his seat at the theatre ; "Indeed. replied Mrs. J with sarcastic surprise, "I supposed from the odor of your breath that you had been out ib see your worst ene my." " Parson, fsternly.) "How could yon come to church to be married to a man in such a state as that? Bride, (weeping) "It wasu t my fault, sir, I never can get him to come? 1 when lie is soterJ On Sunday, one of the boys who had always been noted for his respectful demeanor, observed a rummy old citi zen yawning and gaping on a strett corner, and said to him, "Better not open your mouth too wide." "Why?" was the surprised query. "Because there's a law against opening a saloon on Sunday." A procession of men passing through Main street thin morning, were an hour and a half passing a given point; thai given point was a saloon. Thasnkgivlug Proclamation. In harmony witli the action of ha President of the United States, I, Al binus Nance, Governor of the state of Nebraska, do hereby designate and set apart Thursday, November 80th, 1S82, to be observed as a day of thanksgiv ing and prayer. With joyful hearts we may review the tecord of the year, which is Bear ing its close, and give thanks for its coin foils and blessings. We hav cause to be especially thankful for our happy homes in a land of civil and religious liberty, and for the peace and prosperity which the nation er.joys. Tire products of anothei harvest sea son are being garnered and stored in lavish abundance, and in every mater ial sense the people of Nebraska have been most highly favored. With willing hands and kiudly acts let us endeavor to make glad the hearts of those less fottunwte in sur rounding themselves with the com forts of life. Having these obiects in view I re quest all good citizens to abstain from their ordinary labors as far as prac ticable and unite in tha appropriate observance of the day above desiataat- ed. In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand and aftlxed the Great Seal of the state of Nebraska. Done at Lincoln, this Cth duy of November, in the year of our Lord One Thousand Eight Hundred and Eighty-two, of this State the Sixteenth, and of the In dependence of the United States the One Hundred and Seventh. seal ALBINUS NANCE, By the Governor. S. J. Alexander, Secretary of State. By E. P. Itoggen, Deputy. Trouble Brewing. Already there is a row in the demo cratic camp. Morton claims that he must be elected to the senate by the democrats and anti-monops, while the friends.oCPopuleton sayjie mast stand back for a North Platte statesman and wait for the shoes of his friend VanWyck. Keep your linen intact, gentlemen. It is possible, afier al that the popular song of the season is going to be "Thou art so near and yet so far," in the presence of a small but intelligent working majority of straight republicai.a in the joint con vention next winter. A democratic congress does not settle the title to seats in the state legislature, else you would have a pretty sure thing of it doubtless. Then the anti-monops ex pect to buy out the entire democratic delegation in case the republicans fall short of a majority. Crcunse and Ham Connor also aspire, and there is our ively friend from Pawnee, who may bear some close watching. "You are at the end of your trouble," said a clergyma l to a newly wedded pair as he pocke.ed his little fee. "I didn't say which end," he explained after wards to the husband when lie came to demand a retraction from the man of God, a few days later, with his head bandaged up and the marks of a lively rolling pin discernible on his noble brow. The matrimonial experience of the democratic and anti-monop states men will possibly remind us of that anecdote later. State Journal. Railway Building.

From the Pill Malt Gazette.1 Mr. WUiarn Utobinson, , Mausbn house. nezkHlh Vford, Dorset, souls to the papers an lcount of t ca rnation of tvo bd'ies n th-i-founty a few days ago; "On Sunday evenlij last, the 8th cay of October, the body of Mrs. Ilanham. wlfo Capt. Ilanhau,, was .reduced to ' hes by lire at thi8 Ill's I'jr i.iv uii uug ing evening, tha Oil ody of Lady Hanj ate l)r .lames Han-f place. The folldwi of October, the body ham, wife of the late ham, baronet, of Dunn's court, in this1 county, and mother.of Capt. llanham. u-na-nlso decomposed by fire. Mrs; Hanham died in July, lS76 of ca! Lady llanham in Juno, 1877, in her ninetieth year. Mrs. Hanham expres sed to her husband and various friends her wish that her body should not be buried but reduced to aslu-s in tins manner, and Lady Uaujiam desired that hers should share the same lot as that of Mrs. Hanham. Capt. Hun ham, respecting these wishes, deter mined to carry them out in the face of all difficulties. These are numerous, owing to the fact that no public body exists in this kingdom w hich carries out cremation, and those who desire to execute the wishes of their rela tions in such a case are driven lo seek aid in foreign countries at an anount of trouble and expense which muke it impossible for most. With the view of avoikiug some of the prelim. nary difficulties the bodies were iiot biried but kept in a strongly built mausoleum of good design in the grounds. The cremations were carried out h a simple and inexpensive furnace, Aot only without any nuisance to Vie neighborhood, but without, the sIikV est unpleasantness to those whbvt, within two feet of the white llauie which promptly resolved the bodies. to their harmless elements. Though dono under many difficulties, not one of which need occur if the practice were organized among us, the act was well and quickly done in each instance, nothing being left but perfectly cal cined bonas. The fragments of ttie larger ones looked like frosted silver, and they broke at a touch. The ashes of each body were collected with great care and placed in a large chinfi bowl, in which they will remain untp urns of an approved form are ready, ; then they will be moved to the mauso leum .among the trees on the lawn j Compared with the contents of sucl Rotnaa-and other urns as I have sen the ashes are greater.. in amount ai Jd much more nerfeavVHreserved.

Thus the shells had to be consumed before the bodies. compelling the use of greater heat an') longer time than usual, so adding an' other srreat obstacle. Ttie lead sooi ran through the furnace into the asl pits, and Jtha . white flames playe around the strong elm shell until that fell at white heat over the body, of which about one hour afterward only the ashes remained. Among the few who witnessed the process in each case was Dr. Ccmyns Leach, medical officer of health for the SturminSter District." Wheat Going to Minneapolis. Considerable consternation prevails in the Southwestern Railway associa tion on account of the large wheat traffic which is being diverted from the pool to Minneapolis.
