health was contrary to the laws of anatomy and
physiology. He trusted Mr. Jackson would at some
(mere day be induced to give them • lecture on this
subject. To show the exteut of the consumption of
these drinks, he slated that Mr. Bass, the brewer, men-
tioned at a meeting the other day that one firm made
£1,100,000 worth iu a year, and it was ernuputed that
the worth of these drinks oonstimesi during the past
gpar was £80,000,000, Now it was computed that then-
/ere 1,003 million people in the world, and the sum
thus spent in these drinks would provide tin in owl
with an 18d. bible. To prove that men in the Weis
field could do without these drinks he read an entrain
from a letter by a gentleman living in Herefordshire,
where for the last seven yeare the men hod done with-
out these drinks After again urging upon throe present
to senior( the Reading Room, the speaker sat down
amidst loud cheers.

The CUAIRMLN said he most heartily wished that this
piece, so ably recited by the little girl could be printed,
and copies given to every mother in the United Kingdom.
They might (ruin it take warning, and not encourage by
their example the drinking users of society. He had
now much pleasure in calling oe Mr. Jackson to address
them.
Mr. Jaettette said on coming to the meeting he heard
It hinted that the audier.ce would not be very respectable.
What was meant by that be could not say. If it was
meant because they would not all have on black coats,
lie could nut agree with the opinion that that constituted
respectability. Ile coniAdered that the respectable man
was lie who eonld hold up his hands and say "These
have ministered to my necessities." "1 owe no man
anything," and such • one even if he had spent his
last shilling, he considered respectable. He wanted
the young men of that place so to improve their time
and the opportunity now within their reach as that
they might hold theirown with the squire's, or parson's,
r doctor's son. It was a source of unary pleasure to
him that • reading-room had been opened in the village
and were it not for the thousands and millious wasted
in strong drink such places would be well supported in
every town and village in the kingdom. lie trusted by
such meetings as the.e some of the bells in their village
would soon be climb, and he must confess he could not
hold with the opinion of • gentleman he had that day
met with, who said, educate the people, give them
suitable amusements, increase the number of working
men's clubs, and then drunkenness will be diminished.
He was certain that the people must first become tem-
perate before they would value the blessiugs of educa-
tion, and he therefore bad confidence in the SIM.= of
their reading-room, because many of its supporters were
teetotalers. The speaker then gave several instances
of parties who had risen to situations of eminence by
availing themselves of such advantages as were now
open to the W kitchen& people; hut while he would
endeavour to encourage them to improve their talents
he eould not but at the ORIDO time remark that
there was many a man with his income of vsmoo
or £6,000 a-year, who would give anything for the row
and freedom from anxiety the poor boy at the plough
enjoyed, and half his fortune for his rosy cheeks. While,
however, the Reading-rownand the Working Man's Club
were worthy of all support, he could not but think that
a mart's own fireside, and the company of his wife and
family, was the best place for him—where, with such
works as the British Workmen*, and others of a like
character, he could not only reap advantage to himself
but could share it with her he had sworn to love. In
speaking on this subject he did not wish in any way to
say aught against the excellent institution that day
opened, ILIA lie trusted that its advantages would he
appreciated by those for whom It was especially
designed. He had • word to say to mothers, and whew
lie heard that beautiful piece—" Mother's influence"—
recited by the little girl, he could not but shudder it
the recollection of what he himself witnessed • short
time since—not far oft— where smother, under the influ-
ence of drink, gave her child, who was in &dying state,
such a terrible shaking as to make his blood ran
cold. The child died the day rafter. If you mothers
want to hate your children, drink the drunkard's I
drink. If you wish to harden your hearts against. your
children's tears, drink the drunkard's drink. The UMW
enee of a mother's example on her children no one
could ; and he therefore moat earnestly entreated
the mothers present to become abstainers, so that in
afterlife their children ebould nut have cause to refer
to their example as •eause of their falling. He trusted
that many would sign the pledge that night. After
some further remarks on the advantages of education,
Mr Jackson resumed his seat amid loud cheering.
The Clialeivi said he could most heartily agree with
all his blend had said, until swirly the conclusion of
his speech, where he said it was the duty of the working
man, after his day's toil was done, to go home to his own
fireside. Rut Mr. Jackson had forgot that many in
that meeting had no smiling wife to sit and bear him

After a few further remarks by Mr. STENT on the
advantages young men gained by persevering in study,
illustratesl it by the ease of a young man who from one
position to another had raised himself and now moulded
a situation of considerable emolument, being associated
with Sir Win. Armstrong in his manufacturing of rifled

4 WEST MOORS. All ILDOMIIO SuISICL —On
Sunday morning a special service visa held in the church.
the object being to return thanks to Almighty God
for the late prolific harvest. After the usual prayers
Lc., a very impressive sermon was preached by the Bee.
H. J. Buller, rector of West Parley, from St. Mark,
viii. 5-9. The rev, gentleman, after alluding to the
miracle therein recorded, wanton to say that the growth
of corn was no less a miracle than that of the loaves
and fishes, but yet it was not thought 1,0 by many.
When corn was sown God sends his gentle rain and
then the corn puts forth its to-nder blade, and after-
wards its more vigorous stalk, and then we behold the
yellow waving crops already ripe for the harvest.
In ancient times, when a thankagiving was observed,
for any particular blaming, the cnetnin was to oolleet
their alms to show that their thankfulness was sincere,
and on this occasion he would solicit their alms in be-
half of the Dorset County Hospital. The reason why
he gave it preference was that several persons of this
parish had received permament cures at the above In-
stitution. After a very eloquent sermon, • collection
was made in aid of the funds of the above institution.
