From. the Temperance Journal.
DR. D. M. REESE furnishes the follow
ing touching and sensible verses, for
publication :
Dr. Reese, Sir :—After the Temper
ance meeting, on Monday evening, I
was conversing with a lady on the sub
jects there discussed, when she told me
I was almost a mono-maniac in my ha
tred to alcoholic drinks ; the following
verses were written to-day as an excuse
for my warmth. Please, sir, oblige me
by handing them t ) Mr. Dlawkins, of the
Baltimore delegation, requesting him to
present them to his daughter, as she may
also be accused of the same fault.
Go, reel what I have felt;
Go, bear what I have borne ;
Sink 'Death a blow a father dealt.
And thp cold, proud world's scorn
Thus struggle on from year to year,
Thy sole relief the scalding tear.
Go, weep as I have wept,
O'er a loved father's fall,
See every cherished promise swept—
Youth's sweetness turned to gall :
Hope's faded flowers strewed all the way
That ed me up to woman's day.
Go, kneel as I have knelt ;
Implore, beseech and pray :
Strive the besotted heart to molt,
The downward course to stay—
Be cast with bitter curse aside—
Thy prayers burlesqued—thy tears de
bed.
Go, stand where I have stood,
And see the strong man bow ;
With gnashing teeth, lips bathed in
blood,
And cold and livid brow;
Catch his wand'rtng glance, and see
There mirrored, his soul's misery.
Go, hear what 1 have heard—
The sobs or sad despair—
By memory feeling's fount hath stirred,
And its revealings there
Have told him what he might have been
Had he the drunkard's fate foreseen.
Go to thy mother's side, . •
And her crushed spirit cheer—
Thine own deep anguish hide—
W tpe from her cheek a tear.
Mark her dim Med eye—her furrowed
brow;
The gray that streaks her dark hair
110 CV
Her-toil-worn frame—her trembling limb
And trace the ruin back to him
Whose plighted faith, in early,youth,
Promised eternal love - and truth-;
But who,.foroftvorn, bath yielded up
This promise to the deadly cup.
And led her down, from love and light,
From all that made her pathway bright,
And chained her there, 'mid want and
strife,
That lowly thing—a drunkard's wife I
And stumped on childhood's brow, so
mild,
That with'ring blight—a drunkard's
child
Go, hear, and see, and feel, and know,
All that my soul hath felt or known,
Then look within the wine cup's glow—
See if it's brightness can'atone ;
Think, if it's flavor you would try,
If all proclaimed, ' Tis drink and die.
Tell me I hate•the bowl—
Hate is a feeble word—
I loathe—abhor—my very soul
By strong disgust is stirred
When'er I see, or hear, or tell
Of the dark beverage alien !

MARIETTA, SATURDAY MORNING, FEBRUARY 10, 1866.
CHARACTERS—LMrs. Shaw—Mrs. Prime
—Deacon Borden—Parson Stone—A
crowd of men and women.
[ Mrs. Prime's kitchen. Mrs. Prime
paring apples at a table.]
Mrs. Shaw (entering in great, haste)
—Good morning, Mrs. Prime ; I de
clare 1 I'm een-amost beat out, it's so
warm and sultry. But I thought I must
come over, rest or not. Have you heard
of it ?
Mrs. P. (seating herself and readjust
ing her glasses)—Of what, Mrs. Shaw 7
Mrs. S.—Why, the dreadful news.
Deary me, how out of breath lam ! my
forehead is dripping with sweat I Thi s
is an awful hot summer.
ALMIRA
Mrs. P.—Do speak, Mrs. Shaw.
Don't be afeared. I'll never tell on it
as long as I live and breathe.
Mrs. S.—Oh, it's sich an awful—awful
to happen right here in our quiet com
munity I I told sister Susan I hadn't
had sich a shock since our hen-house
was burnt, and fourteen hens and six
turkeys into it. It's took all the
strength out of me, and I feel as weak
as a rag. -
Mrs. P.—Good Nand, Mrs. Shaw
what can it be ?
Mrs. S.—Ah, me! it's enough to
make a body doubt poor human natur'
more'n- ever. I vain ! I told sister Su
san I never should dare to put my con
fidence in nobody ag'in. It's complete
ly upsot me. You .hain't got a little tea
in your pot, have you ?
Mrs. P.—Land, yes 1 a plenty of it;
the kittle's b'iling now, and I'll make
you a good strong cup. ( Proceeds. to
do so.)
Mrs. S.—Well, I yam, Mrs Prime, I
didn't mean to put you to all that trouble,
hut I feel so overcome, and tea is a re
storer to me. And no wonder-I'm weak !
it's terrible—a leading church-member,
too ! Oh, the heart is deceitful above
all things, and desprit wicked.
Mrs. P.—You may well say that. It's
astonishing to see how some folks go on.
Good land it makes me tremble in my
shoes to think on't. But you hain't
told me about this 'ere new breakout,
Mrs. Shaw.
Mrs. S.—Wall, yon see, it's all abon
Deacon Borden
Mrs; P.—My soul and body ! you
don't say the deacon's been and done
anything.
Mrs. S.—Humph ! I guess you'll think
So when you come to hear ! I declare
I'd•about as soon expect our Isaac to
have been guilty of sich a thing.
Mrs. P.—Well, I never ! but your
tea is steeped now ; just set up and try
it ; don't be afeard of the sugar because
there ain't but little ; there is enough
more in the haled firkin.
Mrs. S. ( tasting with great delibera
tion.)--This tea is nice—first-rate
What was it a pound ? Tea is awful
dear nowadays.
Mrs. P.—Dreadful ! I give two dol
lars a pound for this 'ere ; I got it over
to Squire Lane's and paid for it in but
ter. Butter's master high, ain't it ?
Mrs. S.—Yes, it is; and folks had
ortter be economical of it, and sell all
they can. I really don't think we've
eat two ounces in our house for six
weeks. 'Sister Susan's Benny is humor
ous, and butter is desprit bad for hu
mors.
Mrs. P.—So 'tis. Bat you hain't
told me about the deacon.
Mrs. S.—No, to be sure ; but I am a
going ter. I think it ort ter be told on,
and carried abroad to the ends of the
arth,"on the four winds of heving r Only
think of the beautiful players and the
stirrin' exhortations that man's made !
and how he has talked to us about origi
nal siu-:-.and now he's bin and showed
his original sin right out 1
Mrs. P.—Well, I never !
Mrs. S. (confidentially)—Now, Mrs,
Prime, jest atween us, didn't it never
strike you that Mrs. Deicon Borden has
looted kinder diseonsultory and melan
cholic like, for considerable of a spell
back along ?
Mrs. F. (reflectively)—Well, yes ;
seems to me I've noticed it; yes, I'm
sure I have, and spoke to Nehemiah
about it, and Nehemiah he flopped out
of the house, as mad as a hornet. He's
alias been dreffully took with the dea
con's folks ever since he bought the
striped pig of the deacon. And -I must
say it did the best of any pig we ever
had; weighed nigh unto five hundred,
without the fat sassenger meat. Yes,
Ml's. Shaw, I .have nbticed that Mrs.
Borden has bin ruttier, down lately, and
she's dressed a sight.in green, too ; and
green's forsaken, you know.
A Bit of Scaxidal
SCENE I
Mrs. S..—Humph no wonder she's
dressed in green ; cause enough for it, I
guess.
Mrs. P.—What 1 do yon mean to say—
Mrs. B.—Yes, I do mean to say that
Deacon Borden is after other women !
Mrs. P. (sinking back with uplifted
hands)—Well, I vum to goodness!
Mrs. S. —Yes, and what's more, it's a
young gal !
Mrs. P.—Wus and wus, and more of
it ! I declare, if it was anybody else
told me bat you, I should misdoubt it.
Mrs. S.—There, that's jest what I said
to sister Bunn. But I seed it with
mine own eyes !
Mrs. P.—Marcy I you don't say so I
Mrs. S.—Yes, and 1 blush to think
on't. Yon are sure thar ain't no men
folks round here to hear me tell on't
hain't you?- I should sink to have any
man know that I ever witnessed such a
scandalous performance.
Mrs. P.—No, thar hain't a soul ;-Ne
hemiah's mowing in the Downing lot,
and Asa's gone dowh to the mill. You
can go right on.
Mrs. S.—Well, yesterday, I seed Dea
con Borden drive past our house in that
new buggy of his, with a gal alongside
of him. It was just after sunset, but
my eyes is good ones, and I seed 'em
just as plain as if it was day ; and as
sure as I am a living woman, that dread
ful man had his arm round her I And
his wife has been gone to .Alton more'n
a week to see her sister.
Mrs. P.—Oh, poor Mrs. Borden ! I'd
be divorced right off, if I was her—l
vum I would 1
Mrs. S.—Well, I felt jest as if 'twas
my duty to see the end of it; I was
dreadful busy, but I put it all by, to
tend to what I thought was my duty
So I whipped on my things, and started
across the fields for, the deacon's house.
I got there jest as he'd carried that jade
into the entry ; for willing to take
my Bible oath that he aetilly carried
her I I china' up on-a box, and peeped
in the winder, over the top of the shut.
ter, and—my soul and body I
Mrs. P. (impatiently)—Well, what
was it ?
Hrs. S.—There they sot on a Gory, he
had his arm around her, and her bead
was a layin' on his weskit, and her yeller
hair a streamin' all over his buzzumt!
And as true•as I'm alive, she bad it
curled and a blue ribbing in it !
Mrs. P.—The land of goodness!
Mrs.:—To be sure; and while I was
a looking what did that depraved man
do bat kiss ber I
Mrs. P.—Why, Mrs. Shaw !
Mrs. S.—Yea, and it overcome me so
that I lost my balance, and fell right
onto a hive of bees, and from there into
a tub of rainwater; it took all the glaz
ing out of my new gownd, and peeled
my elbows dreadfully. The bees they
come at me, and afore I got on my feet
I was stung in seventeen places! But
I didn't mind it—l'd satisfied myself.
Mrs. P.—Well, I never heard the like!
What are you a-going to do ! Some
thing ort to be done. It ain't right for
Each a man as that to be a pillow of the
church.
Mrs. S.—To be sure ; and I've decid
ed to see Parson Stone about it this
very day ; - I was over there this morn
ing. I shall recommend a meeting at
once to investigate the deacon's conduct.
I shouldn't wonder a particle if the dea
con should legye for Canada when he
hears on't ; of course he'd never brave
it out.
Mrs.P,—Of coarse noL Don't hurry,
Mrs. Shaw, don't; I ballet said half I
sot out to, I'm all struck up so.
Mrs. S.—And no wonder at it ; it's
enough to strike up anybody. But do
come down ; it's an age sence you was
here.,
Mrs. P.—Yes, I will ; and you call
ag'in.
Mrs. S.—Thank'e, I will ; good morn-

A HINT TO HOUSEKEEPERS.—In Hall's
Journal of Health, we-find the follow
ing reference to the preservation and
cooking of potatoes, that may be useful
to those who may not already possess
the knowledge:
"The tendency of potatoes to sprout
in the early spring is reported to be
prevented in Scotland, and by so doing,
their full edible qualities are preserved,
and "mealy" potatoes can be had all
summer from the previous year's growth.
The experiment costs ba i t little, and is
worthy of being tested by every one who
doubts its efficacy. Obtain from a drug
gist one ounce of liquor of Ammonia,
(hartshorn) to a pint of water; let -the
potatoes be immersed in this mixture
four or five days; dry them. Their
substance is thus consolidated, and much
of their moisture extracted without the
slightest injury for all table qualities,
but their vegetative power is forever
destroyed. If spread oat after immer
sion, so as to be well dried, they will
keep good for ten months.
"Baked potatoes are easily digested,
requiring only two hours and a half, but
one hour longer if boiled. The sprouts
of potatoes uncovered, with earth con
tain eolanum, a powerful poison, the po
tatoe_ becoming green, and are then un
fit for even animals. To have mealy po
tatoes for the table, boil them until the
frirk easily penetrates ; pour off all the
water; cover the vessel with a cloth
near the fire, until "steamed" dry."
We will add, that in no way is a po:
tatoe so excellent as when roasted so
that while it is thoroughly cooked the
skin will not be too hard to be eaten.
Many people—a large majority—merely
eat the inside of a potato, and reject the
outside or skin, which is mall" the best
part of it and possesses the finest flavor.
Fin family use potatoae can be kept
in the cellar, in barrels, boxes or bins,
and completely covered with old carpet,
rags, or any substance that will effec,t
aally exclude the light. If this is pro
perly done, there will be no sprouting,
and no need of medical provision.
sigr When Gen. Sully, last summer,
on his expedition to the Devil's Lake,
passed Fort Berthold, quite a number
of Indians had gathered there to see him
and make peace. They complained a
great deal of dry wheather, and wished
the Geteral would make rain the same
as Fathor de Smet, the missionary that
used to see them, had done. The gen
eral promised them he would do the
best he could. It happened that short
ly afterward a heavy thunder-shower
passed, flooding everything. The In
dians were greatly pleased, and - called
the General a great medicine man. But
they said it was a little too much it
once. "Well," . said the General, "I
know it, bat I couldn't help the thing
after it started.":
VOL. XII.-NO. 27.
Anovu HIS BUSINESS.—It is a serious
evil that many a young man has fallen
into, to be above his business. A per
son learns a trade, and then he must go
to shop-keeping, or street-loafing, or turn
politician. Fool ! If he cannot make
a living at his trade, we lira sure he can
not any other way. And then young
men brought up to shop-keeping must
buy faims, or houses, or some other fool
ish things they know nothing about,
and what is the result ? Head over
heels in debt, and certain failure. Mul
titudes have been ruined by being above
their business and branching out into
what they know nothing about.
There is no trouble about young men
who do not feel their importance, and
who are willing to work at their trades
or professions till they get a little before
hand. With a small capital to fall back
on, they can feel like venturing into oth
er business—and by this time will have
formed habits that are likely to keep
them straight. Those who succeed best
in life are men who stick to business
and make money before they buy farms
and houses and commence speculating.
Look at our successful men, and you
will see where lies the secret of success.
You will find that they never were
above their business, and never paid for
the doing of a job which they could just
as well do themselves. Of this we are
sure : if all men will be prompt and
punctual, stick to their business, and
not be toe proud, they will eventually
succeed, and become independent.
AN UNFASHIONABLE OLD FELLOW.-
The Washington correspondent of the
Cincinnatti gazette tells the following
anecdote of Gen. Spinner, the Treasurer
of the United States L " The simple
hearted old fellow is unfashionable, in
that he cannot forget that there has been
a war. A repentant Alabamian reach
ed his hand across the table to him, the
other day, at dinner ; " Don't yon re
memtkir me, General ? I used to sit
with you in Congress, down to 1860.'
I remember you, well enough. You
stayed here a good while after 1860,
walked through all oar camps, and saw
altogether too mach before you left. If
you were going to be a traitor you might
have had the grace to go a little earlier,
'so that your old friends shouldn't be
compelled to suspect you of being a spy.'
' But, General, no man ever regretted
this thing more than I did l'—'Why, in
the name of manhood, then, didn't you
stand up against it ? But no, you had
to go with your State, and get office an
der the government of traitors, and now
you come up to this mud-sill, Andy
Johnson, to get pardoned. I'd hang
you, that's what I'd do with you, old
friend as you are I"
FAMILY DIALOGUE.—The following di
alogue is said to have taken place be
tween a married couple on their way to
the West : " My dear, are you comfort
able in that corner ?" "Quite, thank
you, my dear." "Sure there's plenty of
room for yourfeet ?" "Quite sure, love."
"And no cold air from that window by
your ear?" "Quite certain, darling."
el'hen, my dear, I'll change places with
you."
