Come again. The temperance cause at this place has done good work, but there are many important things left undone. A minor should not be allowed to sell the poison drug over the bar, as the saloon keeper’s sou has no more right to tend bar than any ether minor. Mr. Gritlin, one of our Rood Templars, has fallen.

i An Explanation from B. F. Rinehart. L’ Walkerton, Ind., Jan.

He would not suffer it ; to lie upon the table, but kept it so- I I ereted in a drawer, lest it get away 1 1 from him. But, alas for Andy’s pet ■i scheme!
