Death and the Drunkard.
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

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.

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

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.
The Rail wayAge slates the constitu
tion during the month of October, in
the United States, agregate 1.0C8 miles
of main track on seventy-one different
lines in thirty States, maing the total
for ten months of the present year 9,
143 miles on 293 lines, in ferty-three
States and Territories, and estimates
the total construction for the year at
between 11,000 and 12,000 miles.which
far exceeds the construction in any
nreviou3 rear. Dakota leads in con-
s'.ruction during the past month with
1 miles. Texas is next with CO.
Thus Eudeth the First Lesson."
These few remarks Irom the Bible
we appropriate without comment:
"For our light affliction, which is
but for a moment, worketh for us
far more exceeding and eternal weight
of glory."

Two Cremations in England.
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

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
