Reasons for Hating the Bowl.
A yonug lady who was in the habit
of writing considerably and in stirring
tones on the subject of temperance,
was in her writings so fall of path«*,
and evinced such deep emotion of tool,
that a friend accused her of being a
maniac on the subject of temperance,
whereupon she wrote the following :
Go feel what I have felt,
Go bear what I have borne—
Sink 'neath a blow a father dealt.
And the cold world's proud scorn ;
Then suffer on from year to year,
Thy soul relief the scalding tear.
Go kneel as I have knelt,
Implore, beseech, and pray—
Strive the besotted heart to melt,
The downward coarse to stay.
Be dashed with bitter curse aside,
Your prayers burlesqued, your tears
defied.
Go weep as I have wept,
O'er a loved father's fall ;
See every promised blessing swept—
Youths sweetness turned to gall—
Life's fading flowers strewed all the
way.
That brought me up to woman's day.
Go see what I have seen,
Behold the strong man bowed.
With gnashing teeth, bps bathed in
blood,
And cold and livid brow ;
Go catch his withering glance, and
There pictured his soul's misery.
Go t thy mother's side,
And her crushed bosom cheer ;
Thine own deep anguish bide,
Wipe from her cheek the bitter tear ;
Mark her worn frame and withering
brow ;
The gray that streaks her dark hair
now—
With fading frame and trembling limb:
And trace the min back to him.
Whose plighted fa th in early youth,
Promised eternal lore and truth,
But who, foresworn, hath yielded np
That promise to the cursed cup ;
That led her down through love and
light.
And all that made her prospects bright.
And chained her there, 'mid want and
strife ;
That lowly thing, a drunkard s wife—
And stumped on childhood's brow so
mild.
That withering blight, the drunkard*,
child.
Go bear, and see, and know.
Ail that my soul hath felt and known.
Then look upon the wiue cup's glow,
See if its beauty can atone—
Think if its flavor you will try ;
When all proclaim, tis drink and die!
Tell me I hate the bowl—
Hate is a feeble word,
I kxtthe —abhor —my eery soul
With strong disgust is stirred
When I see, or hear, or tell,
Of the dark beverage of held !
Don't Go West Bat Go to Work.
Under this caption ^"Ar
kansas Granger " gives the yonug
men of the country the following
s usible advice : — [Washington
Enterprise.
Scores of onr young men have
an inordinate passion to go West.
Hundreds have gone there, re
mained a year or two, spent the
meager pittance which they took
aloug to paichase land, and then
returned home in circumstance
much more adverse than the day
they packed their trnnk to emi
grate to the great West. There
are many more men, of all trades
and professions, all over the West
now than can obtain remunerative
employment. Hence yon can do
no better there than here. Arkan
s is is the best poor-man's country
in the world- +ich one's too for
that matter—and all we need is
pluck, muscle, braius and enter
prise to make known her dormant
resources. There is plenty of
room here for many more than we
have now. Don't ran about. " A
rolling stone gathers no moss."
Keep busy. There are too many
idlers in the great beehive of in
dustry. In all sections of the coun
try we hear of " tramps," consum
ers and non-prodnoers. Arkansas
can never prosper as she ought
until her entire population go to
work. She needs the active and
•wrsisteut support of every citisen.
1 they can not work on the farm,
they cau find employment at
something else. No man need be
without work iu this country. If
he does cot work it is because be
is too indolent to do it. God never
male a man to be idle notone.
Too many young men are running
about over the country, north,

place somewhere they can find
constant demand for their monde
and brains, Especially is ibis the
case in the department of agricul
ture. Plenty of openings in this
direction. Farmers, on all aidas,
are complaining of the want of re
liable labor. One reason why
wages are so low is, it is difficult
to secure trustworthy laborers.
Get away from the street corners
and saloons, and go to work.
Times never get so miserable hard
bnt what hard work will soften
them a little- Buy yourself a little
home, build a cabin, »cd go to

On the 29th of this month, if
nothing goes wrong in the mean
time, theie will be launched at
Portern oath the most power f ul
iron-clad ship ever constructed.
This is the ship Inflexible. She
may be co nsidered as the latest
result of the efforts made to prove
that a ship may be built strong
enough to resist the most powerful
guus. The five most powerful ships
now in existence are the Monarch,
which has an armor 10 indies
thick, and which carries 4 gens of
23 tons each ; the Thunderer,
which bas 14 inches of armor and
4 guns of 38 tons ; Peter the Great,
with 14 inches of armor and 4
guns of 33 tons ; the Redoubtable,
with 12 inches of armor and 4
gnns of 22 tons ; the Independen
zia, with 12 inches of armor and 6
guns of 33. But the Inflexible,
which is of larger tonnage than
any of these, has au armor 24
inches thick, and carries (or will
carry) 4 guns of 81 tons each. She
is 320 feet long, 73 feet wide ; the
draws 23 feet of water, and she is
expected to sail at the rate of 14
knots ao hour. No ship has yet
been made to carry such immense
guns as those which will be placed
on the Inflexible ; they will dis
charge projectiles weighing 1400
pounds, and they are loaded by
hydraulic machinery. The whole
equipment of the ship in man

It has been evident to the intel
ligent observer Uist Samuel J Tib
den bas been rapidly gaining
ground, while the action of the New
York State convention places him
at the bead of a brief list from
which a selecion is to be made. We
believe that in the State of Michi
gan at least, the name of Samuel J.
Tilden will awaken more enthnsi
asm than that of any other name
which the St. Louis convention
could propose. Mr. Tilden has
many other element» of strength
and the fact that the great State of
New York will go into the conven
tion a unit for him, will be of im
mense advantage. In the South
Mr. Tilden is strong.—[Seginsw

The greatest lack iu a church,
to-dav, is not of members, but of
workers. As it has been said that
« the world need» not more men,
but more trau," so it may be said
that the church needs not mors
servants, bat more service. It is
a rare church-fold, where one in
ten of the entire membership, is
activo in the work of the church.
If one member more in every ten
ooutd b© brought into activity, the
whole world would feel the influ
ence, and respond to the labors
of the new Christian workers.
