OOMMUN ICATMX A young, gentle man of this place, recently met a yonnf lady whose charming manner eaptivated him to such a degree, that on her depat- ure he poured forth theiTeelings.of his soul in the following lines : You've left us, and in your place, A sweet, soft pain of longing comes? A longing to watch your winsome grace, As-you brighten other homes. Like a meteor in its flashing course, Oi sniiling fairy's winged flight, Your radiant presence dazzled us, And left ns in the night A niffht; to which no dawn will Or moon or starlight quiver, For only you can brighten it, And you have gone forever. May your beauty never leave you, Your voice be ever sweet; May fate select its choicest gifts, And lay them at your feet The Pulpit and the Liquor Traffic. Laurenbnrg Exchange. In discussing the question of the County Commissioners refusing to grant liquor-license in this county at reported to us, this is the lan guage of a minister on the streets o: another town : "I am a temperance .man; I believe in temperance," I don't believe, though in interfering With a man's rights to sell , what he pleases if he. wants to and complies with the law." If this minister hasnt been misunderstood, be had better get his Bible, go to his closet stndanend a season m prayer ana meditation until he fa fit to enter the sacred desk and preach. We would greatly regret such language coming from any minister, and as tfcift one is of eur .persuasion, we u liVe to hone he has been misunderstood. liONEOE HIGH SCHOOL IN ASHES.

Brooklyn Eagle. "If," said Abraham, Lincoln, "you should calla sheep's tail a leg, how many legs would a sheep then have?" "Five," unhesitatingly an swered the man whom.he addressed ?No" Tejwrred ;,Linceln, the sheep would only have four legs. Calling a tail a leg would not make it a leg.' In the same way calling reciprocity protection and not free trade does net make it protection. Free trade is reciDrocitv. Reciprocity is free trade. Mr. Blaine is a free trader. A Tariff Picture.
