WINTER. Id the polar seat, where the wild wares freeze, Congealed in their billowy might, And the iceberg rides o'er the gleaming tides, In the tlush of the Northern Light. Pale gems embossed with a silvery frost Are the spray of the glittering brine, I And the jewelled strand by that fairy land Yield* a part ef its wealth to thiue. The gift I bring on my broad, white wiug, And it falls in a feathery snow, When dense clouds lie in the leaden sky, And the turf is brown below.

Wan Autumn grieves o'er the golden leaves, The hoard of a lite of cares; But, locked feom sight in a casket white, I will keep them for his heirs.

Temperance QuestionsColumbus, Ohio, Feb. 3. Probably the most signal victory of the ladies during the temperance campaign was won to-day at New-Vienna, * m:_ i n a ?r_ ir. t>?n vuuiun vouuiy. n. iur. run xvu r"*"1H5t tht! iilPfil'st laborers in "the "cause of temperance some time ago with blasphemous epithets, and drenched them with beer while at their devotions in his saloon. Since then they have maintained a persistence of fire of prayer and pleadings. To-day the people of the town in large numbers witnessed his complete "surrender, after three weeks labor. A procession of about 100 ladies marched to his saloon at 2 p. m., amid the solemn ringing of all ^he church bells. When the crowd was gathered about his door, brief religous exercises were held and then Van Pelt appeared and announced that he was ready to give up his entire stock lor the good of the temperance m. cause. He would, lie said, make a (complete surrender, not because of law or force, but yielded to the simple labors of lore of the women which had reached his heart. He exhibited considerable emotion while addressing the multitude, and appeared sincere in his remarks. After givi^? permission that his liquors, consisting of two barrels of whiskey and one keg of beer, should be rolled out, Van Pelt stepped forward with his axe, saying, "This is the weapon I used to defend myself and business with and to terrify the ladies; how I use it to sacrifice that which has ruined many souls" Without more ado he knocked the heads eut ot the barrels and opened the keg of beer, spilling the contents upon thv ground. Devotional exercises adosed the scene. Van1 Pelt admitted freely that the ladies conquered him, and that their prayers forced him to surrender. To-night aji earnest temperance meeting was held there, and Van Pelt made a brief address, giving his experience in the traffic, and admitting u 1.1 ?:i? llltlb lie VUU1U liut lauuuic UlUIBtrii IV the busiueiti longer. A mass meeting is to be held on Saturday, and a number of the ladies from New-Vienna will attend. At the ^ close of the meeting to-night a purse of $150 was presented to Van Pelt as an expression of the feelings of the community toward hiin. The success in this little town ol New-Vienna will go far to strengthen the apostles of the temperance cause in other parts of the State. At other points the work goes steadily on. At Poineroy an organization of 50 ladies commenced business to-day, making a round of flttt ttfOA the loons, and holding their usual religious exercises. At Logan the league to night report between 2 >0 to 300 members added to their ranks, and also that about 700 citizens are ready to support them in the work. Their first demonstration will occur to-morrow, and the little town is in a high state of excitement to-night. Washington, the County Seat of Fayette County, bids fair to become the first legal battle-ground in the cause. Judge Safford yesterday issued an injunction agaiust 67 ladies engaged in the business, and to-day the tabernacle adjoining Beck's beer-garden wa3 ordered to be removed, and it was thereupon demolished Judge McLean, upon whose ground the little temple stood, promptly began suit against those who tore ' it down. There is an increase in the excitement there and popular feeling appears fully enlisted in the cause of temperance. The excitement is finally spreading to the northward, and Columbus will soon be entirely surrounded by the temperance towns. Meetings have been held at Delaware at which resolutions were adopted calling upon the authorities tc enforce all laws fcr the suppression of the liquor traffic, and pledging the support of the people in theii efforts. N. Y. Tribune. Adventure With a Maniac A doctor in Wales recently had a stirring adventure, in which his coolness alone saved him from injury and probably death. He was called upon in the evening by a patient who was very ill. A local paper gives the subsequent events as follows: ' The doctor immediately proceeded to the house with the messenger; but when they got inside, for some reason, which, to some minds, must appear ta be quite inexplicable, the messenger locked the door of the house. The maniac, on perceiving Dr. Williams, courteously accosted him, and addressed him as 'My Lord.' So far this beginning was pleasant enough. Instantly afterward the maniac observed he was proud and hapny to sec his lordship in his humble dwelling, more especially as he wanted to da him a particular favor. In fact, he wanted to behead him! Unfortunately, the doctor had by this time got into the corner furthest from the door, and as he very naturally did not look on being beheaded as a great favor, he dccidedJn his mind to 'beat about the bush' fi r a time until a favorable opportunity for escaping presented itself. Assuming an air of sternness and dignity, he remarked that noblemen were not accustomed to being beheaded in a clumsy and bungling manner, but that iheir heads were cut off by means of a sharp svroru. The madman acknowledged the reasonableness and propriety of the suggestion, and went into an old cupboard, and produced what be termed a sword, viz., a square piece of wood with blunt edges, and sharpened to a point at one of its ends. The wary doctor still bad decided objections to instant dccapitatation, on the ground that noblemen, when beheaded, were dispatched neatly. lie urged that the sword should bo well sharpened. The madman did not see this point very clearly, adding that if the sword did not cut the head oft' completely, it did not much matter, inasmuch as he could use the sharp point as a bayonet, and so finish the job in that wav. Dr. Williams mildly IV *' V hinted that Mr. Maniac should first exercise his beheading talents upon the man who had acted as messenger, (and who bad most unwisely locked the door upon them.) He further remarked that as a rule corpses were not pleasant things in a house, and pointed out the desirability of opening the 1 If* . 1 1111 toor nciore me messenger snouin ue operated upon, in order tliat the corpse might he more readily thrown into the street. This was unhesitatingly agreed to. The locked door was opened. and the maniac charged the messenger with the wooden bayonet in his back. We need hardly say that this was the culminating point. A police officer was sent for, and the doctor returned home, thankful for his escape from so awkward a dilemma. * A on !<1 tliuf Vnnflirl'nf A geilllUUiail pan iijuw ahiuvuv?v? horses were celebrated for their general worthlessncss, imbecility, and marvelous slowness. He said a citizen sold one to a cavalry officer during the war, and warranted him be a good war horse. The soldier came back afterwards in a towering passion, and said he had been swindled. "As how," said the Nantucketcr. "Why, there's not a bit of go in him, and you warranted him to be a good war-horse." "Yes, I did, and by Jove he is a good war-horee?he'd toouer die timu run"' fea Mr Jones's Loye-Letter. & A young man, whom wc will call ^ Billy Jones, could be seen at the post- j office, a few days ago,- boasting to a crowd of friends of thq soul-inspiring , j letter which he would soonrecoive from his Dulcinea. The mail-bag distribu- ^ ted, Mr. Jones hurriedly unlocked his ^ box, and there, boforc him, to his heart's delight, was the longed for, white-winged messengeh, bearing the well-known w initials of his punctual correspondent. P' Desiring to show the productions of her prolific imagination to a couple of ^ his intimate friends, he sat down on w the iron stair-way in the postoffice and 71 broke the letter open. His bewildered a countenance plainly showed that some- w thing was not exactly right, and folding it up, he gave it to one of his com- T pan ions to read. That companion has ti kindly furnished us with the following copy: i " , October 6, 1873. ^ My Darling Brother: I have just written Billy the spooniest letter t! ever penned by a silly girl to a moonstruck youth. I dislike to continue o corresponding with him while you e strenuously oppose it, but his nonsensi-, e cal answers to my foolish letters afford 4 me so much amusement that I cannot r T I 1. give up at present, l write mm pages u of the most familiar quotations from Shakespeare, and he thinks it all ori- c ginal with me. But, to view my po- t aition more practically, you must re- s member that I am twenty-five years of J age, with nothing to support me, and 1< very 1 iitle prospect of getting married, s True, Mr. and myself are enga- J ged, but he is too slow, and I fear he will eventually sever our association, f If I thought so, and saw no favorable s opportunity of doing better, I believe I t would marry Billy as the last resort. a You must admit that he is a young t man of some ability, however limited p that may be, and his prospects for making a living, at least are pretty good, ^ considering the times, and his childishness; after a few years of contact with this working day world, I think Billy , will be something, and if not, his sub- ^ missive disposition and genuine affee- c tion for me arc commendable quali- < ties in his composition. Now, Broth- ( er , give me your consent to keep Billy on hand until I am sure what course Mr. will pursue in relation to our engagement. If you can ^ so I can have a gem taken of we for j Billy's watchcase. Your loving sister, Billy now went to his box again, 8 and received a postal card bearing the following brief and explanatory mes- 1 sage Dear Billy; I sent you broth- a er's letter through mistake. Mail it ? to him in* immediately, and he ' will send you yours. 8 Your sweet chuck, v Billy is now in a quandary in rela- ^ tion to the course to be pursued by h him in the future. A man out West who has married n and buried three sisters, now comes h up smiling at the altar, having begun h on a new family. * A Spiritualist before committing suicide made a memorandum: "I have | purified my soul 25 or 30 years. I think I must be a rectified spirit." A man writes to an editor for four dollars, "because, he is so terribly short," and gets in reply tho heartless response: " Do as I do?stand upon a chair." "Don't a Quaker ever take oft' his hat to any one, mamma?" "No, my dear." "If he don't take oft' his hat to a barber, how does he have his hair cut." The reason an urchin gave for being late at school, was, that the boy in the next house was going to have a dressing down with a bed cord, and he wanted to hear him howl. A Louisiana negro, elected to tha Legislature, explainedlusofficial duties as "Yotin for de bill which has de most money under >t." ' The strongest propensity in a woman's nature," says a surly editor, is a desire to know what is going on, and the next is to boss the job. " T) We often live under a cloud, and it is well for us that we should do so. Uninterrupted sunshine would parch our hearts; we want shade and rain to cool and refresh them.

'You will admit," said Holland, "that rour profession does not make angels ?f men." "No," retorted Bobus; 'there you have the best of it. Yours ;ertainly gives them the best chance."
