WEYXOIITII.
MIL. HAWKESLEY'S PLAN.

The sewage is not to go into the Harbour; but, from
Devonshire buildings and the places between, it will
be brought backwards to the Corporation yard near
the Dam, and thence across the Backwater. Here it
is to be discharged into two chambers, together
capable of holding 80,000 cubic feet. Two twelve-
horse-power steam engines, but capable of twice as
much work in emergency, are thence to pump the
sewage-4 how high does not appear on the face of the
report)—into a brickwork sewer, leading from the
Weymouth side of the Backwater to the south and
east, and terminating in a cast iron pipe. The out-
fall is to be outside the Nothe and near the Mixen.
The cost is estimated at £2.5,000.
These works will not obviate any smell front the
Backwater, which is attributed to other causes beside
the sewage.
The cost of removing the cause of the Backwater
smell will be from £20,000 additional to £lOO,OOO more,
even if permitted by the Board above.
Mr. Morgan, the borough surveyor, is acknowledged
to have rendered very great assistance, and suggestions
of his are adopted.
Arguments and details eliminated, we submit that
the above are the ideas in Mr. Hawkesley's proposals.
We scarcely pause to remark that there is a
striking similarity between these proposals and
the line we have heard propounded by Mr.
Morgan a year or two ago. It may be asked
—" What have we gained from Mr. Hawkesley
that we had not already from the Borough Surveyor ?"
But that is an unimportant question compared with
the more pressing and crucial one—" What are we to
gain by expending L-2.5,000 r The Backwater smell,
whatever it may arise from, Mr. Hawkealey holds out
no hope of reducind ; his plan will not touch it, for it
arises, he says, from other causes. True, if we could
obtain the consent of "Her Majesty's Government,"
12y which we suppose is meant either the Board of
Trade, or the department for many years known as the
" Woods and Forests," or the Admiralty, or all of them,
we might either raise the bed of the Backwater to dry
ground, or embank the channel and reclaim the land
by steam pumps. The latter would cost £20,000, and
we should then have a Holland with all the evils of the
Park on a gigantic scale. Or we might have a fiat
piece of land intersected and partly cut off by the rail-
way, and this for a cost of f:80,000 or £lOO,OOO, say at
a cost of £4OO per acre, if—(there is much virtue in
your "if")—if the estimate be not exceeded by the
actual cost.

The outlook as presented by Mr. Hawkesley seems
to us about as Ind a prospect for Weymouth as was
ever inherited from a damaging and almost disastrous
year, if it will be necessary for us to accept Mr.
Hawkesley's plan.

Ova WHO PITIES THEW.
TEMPERANCE MEETING AT THE BURDON.
A, large and inSuentiel meeting of the frienda and
erupporters of the Church of England Temperance Society
was held on Monday evening at the Imperial Burdon
Hotel Assembly Rooms. The large room was crowded.
The Worshipful the Mayor (G. K Eliot. Ext.), presided,
and there were also on tho platform—The Rev. J.
Stephenson (View of St. John's), the Rev. W. Barker
(hen. chaplain to the Queen). and Dr. Lush.
The well.known hymn—

"Rock of Aces, cleft for me,
Let me hide myself in Thee,"
Having been sung, and the Rev. J. BTgrecrioN having
offered appropriate prayers,
The CHAIRMAN said it was always a great support and
great comfort to men and women when they were met
together in any work to have the satisfaction and Amor-
once of knowing that the work they were engaged in was
holy work, and that they had righteousness on their
side. He certainly thought they (the members of the
Church of England Temperance Society) had this certainty
to back up coy efforts which they might be making. Now
at this time of the year it was a very useful thing to
Indulge to a little retrospection of any work which they
might have been engageduring the past year, although
he did not think it was advisable to look too closely or
enquire too minutely into results in mob • work
as this in which they were engaged, and which had
brought them together. If they saw that their
motive' were pare and that their principles were right, he
tranBtter might well

from time to time and take an outlook into the past, and
woe what results had issued from their labours, and ere
what advance this movement, which they had all deeply
at heart, had been making. Now, be thouisht, so far as
they were concerned in Weymouth, he might be allowed
to say that this cause was making some progress. He did
net wish for a moment that evening to ignore the efforts
made by other temperance societies--(hear, bea)— and
especially did he fully recognise the good work the Good
Tempters had been doing in this town. (Applause.)
Although he did not agree with the principles on which
they worked, yet he must say, and always did say when
be was speaking on the subject in public, that they
done • great work in Weymouth. (Hear, hear.) Now,
one of the crucial tests in the way of progress or retro-
(religion were the petty sessioas after Christmas week. It
was generally • sad list, but he was happy to say that at
Petty &maims held the first day otter Christmas there
was only one case of drunkenness brought before the
magistrates After souse more remarks, His Worship intro-
duced
The Rev. W. BARKER, who delivered • long and eloquent
address, and was listened to with rapt attention through-
out There were he said, in this question souse peculiarities
and some
dLecullar points which questions of • simpler
character not poesses, The temperance question was
one which needed to be brought popularly before the
people ae • body. It was a question they themselves oonld
understand, and consequently one which they themselves
could solve. Unlike some questions it was one which
every person could form 110018 opinion upon, therefore
they regarded it as one particularly suited to bring
before people such as themselves, because by
that means they created public opinion and public
interest in the great movement which they trusted would
eventually end in the moral reformation of our country.
The people of England as a body were not tally convinced
of the extent of the evils of intemperanoe, nor aware of
it. awful ravages. He entirely disagreed with the Bishop
eg Peterborough in the remark mentioned by their Chair-
men. His lordship took his view of the intemperance of
the lanai from the peculiar and special society in which
he moved. He ventured with him to assert that there
wee probably lees intemperance among the upper classes
of society than there was 60 years ago, but that it was lan
In the country as • whole he was prepared entirely to
disprove. He contrasted the recent statement of Lord
Aberdare Gate Kr. Bruce) who had made the question his
special and peculiar study. It was he who stated that in
his opinion so for from drunkenness being on the dermal
there was strong evidence to prove that it wee on the

°pintos of &specialist upon his special subject than that of

thereupon. Passing on, the rev, gentleman aaid if It were

of the bodily health of the community, it would not be
for him as • clergyman of the Church of England to take
any prominent part in it whatsoever. But it wee •

was so bright. He spoke in mecums tones of Sir Wilfrid

The Rev. J. Sncritassom briefly addressed the meeting.
In the name of the meatier/ he tendered Mr. Barker their
thanks. They rn gh; not all agree with everything Mr.
Bolter had said, but he was sure they all agreed with him
in heart, and all felt with him in the earnest desire to
attack in some BLICC.IIif ul way this glean ic evil which was
creating such misery amongst us. He was glad to tell Mr.
Barker for his encouragement that there was here an in.

he should be able to report to his friend that his visit here
from Cowes that evening bad not been in vain, and that
he had done some lasting good. The rev, gentleman
invited any Demons who roieht wish to do so, to j dn the
society, although he would not press the matter, as it was
not well to do things too quickly. (Laughter.)
The Benediction having been pronounced the meeting
dispersed.
MISS MARIANNE FARN/NrillAM'S LECTURE.
"THE RUSH AND HUSH OF LIFE."

In cen-nec--tio-r-i-.li.h-t.hoT Benk Buildini. -Christian
Anociation Miss Marianne Farningham, whose name had
become almost • houtebold word for her poetic and
thoroughly Christian writinn, delivered a lecture in the
Wesleyan Chapel, nn Weeinewlay evening, her subject
being the "Rich and Rush of Life."
Prior to the lecture a ouhlic to. meeting was held in
connection with the Btptist Church and Congregation
In the Weal-yen Schoolroom.
_

The s;ia-e-ild'an'hos-it-the'l;o7Ore was Very large. The Rev.
W. Allen took the eh sir, .uppnitei by the Rev. E Bolton,
Rev. W. Lewis. and the Rev. W. Smith.
The hymn" Happy the souls to Jesus joined, and Saved
by grace alone, having been sung ,and the Rev. W. Lewis
having offered • short prayer,
The CH/11141111 briefly introduced the lecturer.
Miss FAIIIIINORAK, who wee warmly received, said we
gave to the age in which we live very significant names.
Bone people said it was an age of sinful extravagance,
some said it was an aged wicked unbelief, whilst others
said it wee an sire of the beautiful, of refinement, and of
culture. It might be all this, but still it was an age of
rush. It was certainly not an age of perfection. We
worked for too rapidly to work perfectly. We hal to
work almost as fast as the wind, and the waters in order
to keep pees with the times. What tales of the rudling
of life might be told by the business men of the day I In
many instances the chronicle of • single year's work
would read almost like a miracle. In whatever way
people smarted themselves, whether in talking orbn work-
ing, it wag certain that, more or less, we needed little
rest. It could no longer be said that the world moved
slowly, for people had become, in more senses thau one.
fast. Speed altociat always meant noise, and therefore we
might describe the present state of circumstances as •
very noisy world. Having contrasted, in her peculiarly
beautiful style, the discordant noises of the town and the
soft sounds and sweet harmonies of Nature, the lecturer
went on to say—Let us not forget that we all can do •
little to diminish the noise. Remember "Speech is 'Hearn,
but silence is golden." There would be less noise if we
were not in so great a hurry. In these days of machines
and inventions there is no telling where we may
go and to what we may come. Everything is changed
I from the old-fashioned ways of our forefathers.
The electric telegraph has been followed by the
telephone, by means of which we are told that we
shall not only be able to send messages to our friends, but
hold sweet converse in our own voice. This has been
followed by another astonishing invention which I cannot
understand, which will enahle us to preserve the voices of
our friends, bottle them up, and hear them whenever we
please. (Laughter.) lodeei the wonders which have
succeeded the wonders of the telephone seem to have no
limit. At the Name time I think we bare lost something
If we have gained much. There are some things that can.
not be done in • rush, or done by machinery. The be,t
work, brain work and heart work, must be done leisurely
and quietly, and so much the better for us. We should
MI be gainers if we had more time for contemplation.
More rush ought to bring more of the hush of life, but I
fear not. There was once • brave officer of the
army, Sir Joseph Ashley, who offered • very short
memorable prayer. You will very likely my it is a
woman's way of looking at it but I don't quite
understand bow a man can be at the same time •
Christian and • soldier, for I think that when men are
better Christians they will find some •ay of settling
their differences other than by wholesale slaurtlitor.
(Loud applause.) Still I know there have been godly
soldiers in all tames, from David up to the present. 'Well
it was on the eve of the Battle of Edgishill, and Sir
Joseph Ashley was about ti charge, when the one habit of
his life sprung upon him. He halted for the moment, and
sent up to G 4 this prayer "God. Thou knowest I shall
have a very busy day to-day. If I forget Thee, do not Thou
forget me.' Is this not • prayer for many in our day? We
cannot always have • still quiet lime in which to pour out
our prayer. We must be where the cooed is thick and the
noise loud, still we shall all be better and stronger for
sending up frequently that soldier's cry "If! forget Thee.o
God, do not Thou forget me." Passing on the lecturer said:
—Om of the greatest powers of this present age is that of
patient persistent plodding. Some people have by • few
brilliant exploits won their way to wealth and fame, but
for most of us there is nothing so effectual as going steadily,
conscientiously, step 1.7 step in the upward and onward
path. Rapid runners me almost certain to grow weary.
There was a certain slang phrase, which although I don't
particularly like it., is nevertheless very appropriate, "It
is the parse that kills." We should all live longer if we
went slowly. It is an age of great Christian activity and
benevolence. None are on poor but someone cares fir
them, and the work of declaring the glad tidings is under.

Sunday 'school, in the missions to soldiers, to seatoesi,
navvies, or otherwise. The journey through life will
always be an upward climb. Sixty-six years ago there
was a little boy, one of several children. His father was
a grocer in • small way of business. The lad had a little
schooling, and when ten years old he became • factory
boy. By his own exertions when 16 years of age he had
gained considerable knowledge, not only such as he could
obtsin from books, but had become acquainted with
the botany and geology of his district. So hard did he
work and so frugally did he live that he managed to
support himself in the winter, and attended medical and
other classes in Glasgow, walking to his home every
night. He received no aid and expected none from any-
one. By his own exertions he mowed the examinatioria
and became a member of the Faculty of Physicians and
Surgeons. Soon afterwards he turned his attention to
South Africa, and soon became known to the world as
David Livingstone. (Applause.) It is not necessary to
trace the steps of his missionary labours and discoveries,
for they are matter@ of history. Perhaps sems can
remember his return to England altar his first visit to
Africa, and the presentation of the Royal Geographical
Soinety'e medal; his enthosiaatio receptioo and the
