TEMPICILANCE Socisrrv.—On Tuesday, the 29th ult., the
anniversary of the Ilddletrenthide Temperance Society
was celebrated. The morning was beautifully fine. At
10 a.m. the Bands of Hope and Juvenile Templar., to the
number' of la% met at the Good Templar* hall, and,
beaded by the Stiekland Good Templar braes band, they
paraded the villages of Piddletrenthide and Piddlehinton,
calling at all the principal houseo in their march, giving
each • couple of tunes, and sometimes singing a melody.
The Good Templar lodges in the 'Mime (for there are
two) joined in the met:mien, with visitors from South-
ampton, Wyke, Bournemouth, Dewlish, In full
regalia, altogether forming • pretty Js-oneasion. After
dinner they inneln).l.l in the field, and where they were
joined by the I tewlish Juvenile Templar'', to the numlaw
of 31, under the supervhdon of their superintendent, Mr.
.1. IV. Wark. The afternisin was spent in various
amuseinenbi -dancing. cricket, and kiss-in.thwring. At
four the children sat down to their tea. which is provided
for them free : and, at 5.30, there was a public tea, to
which 150 satilown. Afterwards the various amusement.'
were resumed, and continued until the shades of evening
brought the anniversary of 1,47( to a close. Altogether
this was one, if not the best, of the anniversaries held,
both as to numbers, management, and finance.

Isinoragiue listiox.—A meeting was held here on
Messier last. Mr. John Smith, of Whit churrh,ncyiiiusd
Übe chair. He urged that low paid labour waa an injury to
tradesmen in towns, In proof of whieh bespoke of a return
of the number of paupers obtained by Mr. I Imo Read, of
the 1,4,41 Government Board, which showed that In
England and Wales there were 111:1 in-door paupers
and 1t*1,10.1 out-door paupens, making a total of PM- 518
paupers in Enid:aid and Wales ; but, aa probably this
return only represented the heads of families, it would be
only fair to double the number, when it would make a
total of I,lZs,issi paupers or about one in eyery fifteen of
the entire population. The greatest number of paupers in
proportion to the Population fissi in the five counties of
Witte, Dorset, Devon, Cornhill, and Somerset, in which
there were 101,707 paupers, of whom 90010 are receiving
out-door relief. Thus, he argued, the ratepayers were
paying part of the money farmers ought to pay 141 wages.
Mr. Wedmore, the Dorset delegate, made i
speech. The following resolution was proposed
by Mr. Smith, and seconded Jr Mr. Westmont, and
carried :—That this meeting. whilst it in no way
wishes to create feelings of hostility between employers
and employed, is of opinion that the National Agricul-
tural labourer,' Union deserves the confidence and
support of the Agricultural labourers of the County, and
hereby pledges itself to exert its best etforta on its behalf.
A non to Parliament for the extension of the fron-
d) se to the ratepayers in the counties was also adopted.

R LATE SUDDILe DRATII —The funeral of Mr. Abraham
Scott, whose death we recorded in our last Issue, took
place on Saturday, his remains being borne to the
rimictery by four of his fellow workmen and four others.
The burial service was read by the Rev. A. A. Leonard.
The plate on the coffin bore the following inscription :
" Abraham Scott, dial July I, 1 Pl74&ged Vi In the
14 of life' we are in death." The quotntion was
strikingly exemplified on thin occasion. for, close by, a
little grave received its occupant —an infant of six months
—at the same time. Thus the aged man, who had borne
the wintry stonns of 711 years; and the tiny infant of spring
time slept side by side.
'Lime:noes COW& —ln the vicinity of Bridport one
morning last week, we were walking in a field in which
were is number of rows. Three small children, who were
31,13.31• Ching us from an opposite direction, seemed very
timid of proceeding on their wag. On nearing them,
there came from a little voice, "Please will they rows
hurt us 7" We replied. "Oh, no, on which the young
girl resunied--"'Caue they towed at mother twice last
week.' We could not make out what she meant by
" tossed at." The cows were only having a bit of fun, we
suppose, and the woman must have been fearful ; but if
these animals are inclined to too people we feel sure the
owner need only be made sysimiinted with the fact, and
he would have them at once removed from a hell in which
there is a public footpath much frequenbid by women and
young children.
Itgraesuixo. —The delightful showers which fell during
the past week have already changed the fare of natdre.
The meadows, lately so bare, are beginning to look green
the hedge-rows, so dusty, haveleen cleaned, and now look
fresh and nice; wheat is getting white for the harvest;
and in fact, gardens, fields, and everything is looking ,
beautiful and flourishing. We have as yet heard no
complaints of the potato disease in Ithia neighbourh9cel.
Let us hope we may not. The crop of fruit seems
abundant, 'edging from the quantity of cherries, goose-
berries, currants, strawberries, kn., displayed in the town
on Saturday ; the market M 33 also largely attended, and
the streets wore • lively aspect,
Rol/ANIMA AND RITUALIaII. —The Rey. C. MT Templer,
of Burton Rrailstork, presiding at the meeting on Thurs-
day evening, when Mr. Owens lectured on "Auricular
Confession and Priestly Absolution." said the spirit of the
Romanist and the Ritualist was identical, and that their
system reposed all power In the handset the priests, whom
it placed between the sinner and Christ, the only mediator
and Saviour. If the priests once again obtained sway,
the fires of Smithfield would be renewed, and a massacre
similar to that of St. Bartholomew might he feared.
There were three kinds of tyranny—the tyranny of the
people, the tyranny of the autocrat, and, greater than all,
the tyranny of the priest, which would hind the bodies,
souls, and spirits of the people, No matter whether he
was a Roman Catholic or an Anglo-Catholic priest, he
would say "Young men and young women, beware of
the priest, beware of the confessional box, beware of the
vestry, beware of the private chamber." These priesta
crept into houses, and led captive silly women; they
would step in between husband and wife between parent
and child, between friend and friend. In concluding the
meeting, he again urged them to stand fast by their old
Protestantism.

110‘PITAL SUWDAT.—It iJ gratifying to know, that, not-
withstanding the unfavourable weather which prevailed
on the evening of the day appointed for the sermons and
collections, that the sum of £47 ss. was added to the
funds of the excellent institution, as &genet £I7 Is. 14.1.
collected last year. It meet be borne in mind, however,
that last year there were no reflections made in the
Wesleyan Chapel and at Bradpole Church on the day
selected, another occasion being amen. Deducting the
amount this year (raised at those two places, £7 13e, ed.,
the net gain is £2 Os. isd. . • this is a move in the right
direction, and we hope still more will be accomplished
another year. The following is a summary of last year's
report of the Hospital :—Number of patients admitted to
the dispensary, 314: number of patients rsmaining in the
Hospital at the end of Ifi72, 6; number admitted during
ICI, 41 ; making a total of 50. Of thexe 25 had reef-wend ;
16 Mel been relieved; 3 had been discharged unrelieved;

Adjutant Mount-Batten, arrived in company with Capt.
Good and Lieut. Whetham. The men, having taken open
order, the gallant Colonel and Adjutant made a most
minute inspection of the arms and apnointmente, after
which the corps was marched to a field kindly lent by
Mr. S. W. Wethaiu, and well adapted for the penises, of
drill. There were present :—Lieut Hansel, Capt.
and Adjutant Mount flatten, Capt. Good, Lieut,

Capt. Gond put the company through a stiff drill for
about a hour-and e-half, 10 rounds of blank cartridge
haying been served out to each man, and there WM some
capital skinnishinx, the smoke from the rifles forming •
cloud over the surface of the dewy field, and then rolling
away towarde the harbour. At the conclusion of the
' drill, the men were former' into two sides of a miner'', and
Colonel Manuel proceeded to whim*, them. Ile said he
hail h pleasure in being present that evening, and
witnessing is very fair drill. Ile mold not Ray that the
movements were eo first-rate as thcy generally were, and
it appeared to him that there were a few men who put
the whole cempany out. But, an he bed before met it
it was a very fair drill. He always visited the Brelpert
cores with numb pleasure/m.l confidence, far he knew that
they were volunteers to the bark bone, and always ready
to fin their ditty; and of the battalion generally, it might
be said, they were always well to the front. The Bridport
eons.; had one of the beet officers of the Battalion, and his
men loved him, aud were always ready to follow him.
When Captain Good was wanted he was always ready
a ,
nd was followed by hie men. When he (i 'ohne' Maned)
visited the War Office, he was frequently sake] hew the
Itattaliou got on, and enromenns were lamed on its
efficiency by those in authority. He meld say Is ithout
fear 14 contradiction that the Battalion was I Ino of the
beet in the country, and he felt it an honour to be the
Colnnel. When the invitation was sent for the Battalion
to attend the Autumn man...urea, lie thought it a meat
compliment paid them, but raill he would not give au
answer until he had found out the wihre of the officer&
and the men generally. They had unanimously decided
to go to Affierehot ; and lie had 'runt In an eetimate that
he should Icing 1101 rank and file to ramp : and he hoped
he should march in at the head of that free. Ile was
pleased to say the Dorset men would lie brigaded with the
/nit and Path Highlanders, and the 3rd Battalion Rifles
and he was confluent the volunteers would keep up their
meel name. They would go to Aldershot on the2sth July
for eight days. A Government ellowanee of Ills,, in
addition to 2um, rel. from the battalion fund, would he
made to each volunteer who remained the whole time in
camp, besides ratione so that a man would not lose the
time without some recompense. Having alluded to the
:irrangemente which would be made at Ablenffint for
their comfort OA far RA poeible, the gallant Colonel
remindmi them thet there would be a grand manh past;
and he impressed upon the men that it was a great
mistake for them to look down on their feet; they should
marsh with heads erect, and eyes to the front, end they
would march well. He enforced upon them their duty of
obeying orders whilst at ramp: if they did that they
I would be sure to win approval. He should have pleasure
in answering any question which might be put to him.—
Private Hughes said he had a remark to make, and it was
this At the previous menreuvree to the men who were
not teetotallere a pint of beer was allowed daily, to
teetetallers nothing. Now, the latter had to do their
pert of the work, as well as the former ; they were
exposed to wet and other things as well as the drinkers,
and therefore required a etimidant --Captain Hansel
asked could he "egged how the difficulty could be met

(displaying a suspicious-looking article) : "I have just

speedily owned—Capt. Good then addreeeed a few words
to the men. urging upon some of them the necessity of
attending drill, and the corps was then marched through
St. Michael's-lane, up Wesestreet, to opposite the Town
Hall, where it was dismissed.
Tune I.ITE Has. SWAIN.—In excellence with an an-
nouncement made the previous Sunday, • funeral sermon
was preached at the Congregational Chapel on Sunday
morning. There was • large attendance. Appropriate
hymns were sung, and lemons read, after which the Rev.
F.. 1 Austin (pastor), took for his text, Phillippieue i, 21 :
"To die is gain." In the outset the preacher remarked
that when the Apostle Paul wrote these words, he had.
for two years, been a prisoner in Rome, chained by the
wrist night and day, awaiting the coming of his Ammer.
from Palestine. Who could wonder then that he should
have been kd to exclaiin "To die beam," and to wieh to
depart and be with Christ. But, after his release, he again
preached Christ and Him crucified to periahing sinners
around him. At the end of three years, he was once more
arrested, and sent to Rome, when he exclaimed "1 en
now ready to be offered. and the time of my depsrture la
at hand. I have fought a good fight, I have finished my
course; henceforth there is led up for me • crown of
righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, shall
give me at that day, and not tome only, but enteral them
also that love his appearing." Shortly after that, out,, side the city walla, he was beheaded; his course of suffer-
ing was ended. and his heroic soul wee translated to the
realms of light. There were elrietten men and women
of the present day who had suffered for ream, from pain-
ful diseases; there were those who were afilicted with
poverty; there were those who had no friend', and no
treasures to leave behind them one would think the
thought of death would not emit such a tear, butthat they
would rather Kay "Oh that! had wings like • dove, then
would I fly away and he at rest." Then, again there were
the exert who had lost the friends of their youth, whose
bodies had become feeble, end their senses lull; what
attraction was there left for them Surely for them to
die would be gem Stile they held with tenacity to life.
The cry of the niouniful and suffering was "Oh spare ftle
yet a httle, before Igo hence, and be no more seen.' But
would death Ire a gain to all / He answered no! To the
Pagan it would be no gain ; to the Ambit it would he no
rain, for he anticipated purgatory : to the worldly it
could not be a gain: it could not be • gain to the mixer,
for he would lose his gold ; the sensualist his carnal joys:
there was no bright premed for such as these. We mud
' reap as we have sown, and he that Roweth to the flash
',hall of the flesh reap corruption. It was an moult to
G.I for a man to spend most of his life in sin, resolving
to give God the last few years of his existence, and who'
whilst hoping to be eavesl some day, was often in the end
loot fun ever, when it would be said "Ile that is unjust,
let l,iuu, be unjust skill ; and he that is filthy, let him be
filthy eta" To such as these death would be • loss, but
to the Christian it would assuredly be • gala • and the
peeped was so cheering, that it was strange they dumb'

of beauty; there were pleasant scenes for the eye, and
pleasant sounds for the ear: but sight grew dim; hearing
ailed, and even nature itself WU subject to change
and decay. Let than think of St John's decnption
of the heaven prepared for the Christian—a heaven of
perfect and eternal bile& To die would Ire gain in that it
would put an end to toil and weariness, This WM one
reason why Paul wished to depart and be with Christ
Heaven was to lie longed for as a place of rest, toil was
part of the sentence passed on our hest parents when they
were driven out of the garden cf Eden, and all were under
that curse. There would be work in heaven, but there
was much difference between week and toil. The devil never told a greater lie than when he said by tasting of
the forbidden fruit our first parents shofild become GoAi, ;
for, ass punishment for that sin, they became slaves. But
the work of the Christian in heaven would be one of its
greatest charms, for there, those who had washed their
relies and made them white in the blood of the Lamb gain

and more glorious still, it would unite them to Christ, for
Chriet had reel to the dying thief —"Toelay shalt thou be

the body was an end to all the sufferings of earth, and the
soul was at once with Its Lord; at the present time they
