• Mr. 00oPenfiti, of Waniam, addressad• the meeting.
He said he was very glad to hear that they had been &nag
something lot the advasennast of temperance In the
opening of • coffee palace. Hs thought when he came
Into Dorchester that Untrue' he should have seen • good
array of names on the bile—that the Mayor would
liWe at the menage that all the miniaters of all
denominations, and all the lead*, tradesmen of the
town would hi present (Apothem) He looked upon
this movement sea great heir, and yet distinct from the
teetotal caws, and believed they would de a great work
by what they had began that day. Be wondered how
many public booms there were la Dorchester, He did
not know. He only bust this—that ore of the great
brewers In the musty had sold his brewery and all his
• publichouses as well —(ollessm)—as his conenenco would
not use longer allow him to carry on ths bushes. This
had created • great sensation in the town of Poole, and
be believed it was all owing. under God, to the late Wet
of that prince of temperance orators. NY John Gough.
(Chaste) It appears that the brewer's good lady went te
hear Mr. John Cough speak, and the result wee that shs

arrival of the train when a conversance arose
as to how many public-house there were in Wareham,
and it wee found that there was one to every twenty men.
How many had they in Dorchester, be would ask I Did
they need mother I Yes, there is need for another public:-
house here, and they hod got It in the coffee-palace. He
should liks to see lasorlbed over it, like soma if the old
publio-hooses had it—" Good accommodation for men and
beast," fork, was glad that this wee the cue really, and
that it would be a market-homes, where the country
people could put up their horses sod enjoy the interior of
the ouffiw-mina. themselves, free from Um patiencea and
ann./mem of to. public-house. (Cheers.) As he looked
around him that night he ballemil he could say he was
addressing an audience composed almost exclusively of
teetotallers, whs, one and all, would say there was need
for such • house. There wu nud for It on account of the
' drunkard, and when the drunkard had bun led to sea his
error, and had been liberated front the chains of drink,
they most have • plus for him where he could go to, to
stead his evenings. Hsi did not mean that the monied
man was to abuse the privilege by spending the whole of
his eveniags there—his duty was to to home and spend ,
his evening. in the company of his wife and family.
There was need for it for the young men who were in ,
lodgings, and who had no hum in Dorchester. There
was seed for it for the young lads who left their Bands of
Hope, who emerging from them were too apt to be met at
the corner of the street by elder lads and enticed into the
public-hum. (Cheers.) He had • Bead of Hone
which was eellaupporting, of which he wee 100feTIATT,

had a palace like they had in Dorchester, it would be a
reel sad lasting blueing He congratulated theme and
trusted that by good management the codes palace would
be • succens, for it was a fact that many of these plum
entirely faded through bad management, and kepoped they
would have • man, obliging, good tampered, a teetotaller,
with thorough temperance principle, and who had the
work at heart, then they might fully hope for prosperity
In that way. But not only this, see what the ladles mould

this good work, and whose noble selkienial had shown

and Unwed the °ogee palace would be patronised by all,
supported by all, and perhaps in • very short time they
would have another *WM palace in another Jett of the
town. He looked upon such places se a mighty magnet
to draw men from the publiobouse He than drew a

the moral well-belne of the whole community ; but this
' not being the cue, they most make the best use of the
