TEMPERANCE.-That a large class of our citizens
are losing source of much enjoyment by not at
tending the lectures temperance given at the dit
ferent temperance halls various parts Of this CITY,
was strongly impressed on mind after visiting
meeting of the Marshall L. A. Society, on Thursday
evening last at Concert Hall, Broadway. The eve
nng's exercises were ntersPersed with excellent
singing by number of the temperance songsers,
and by addresses delivered by several gentlemen,
among whom shone conspicuous Mr.: J. G. Parsells,
OF the Marion Society; 1t appeared by some re-
marks made by this gentleman, during his address,
that he had been induced to join the Washington
by the ravages he observed the use Of alcohol
making the circle of his acqualniances and that
philanthropy had alone prompted HIM to enter the
arena as a lecturer on temperance. And we bid
him Cod speed in his benevolent exertons In
these times OF reputation, when stocks and honesty
below par, advise all our readers who desire
an hours enjoyment to drop into the Concert Hall on
any Thursday evening, and they will find it,
