ELOQUENT MOTTO.

Here is thought which goes straight
to the heart. Al late temperance cele-
bra,on in Tennessee, a little boy appear
ed in the procession, bearing banner on
which was inscribed, Salts nell nhen
Daddy's sober"
llthis will not start hot tears Of sorrow
from the eyes Of the inebrate, he must
indeed have lost every feeling Unnatural
affection in his long and melancholy SER
vitude to the god Of Drunkenness.
The emotions Of the REFORMED DRUNK-
ARD, as he beheld his now happy boy
bearing in procession the proud and CRATE
full acknowledgment, "44N is ,ccN, ncv
Daddy's sober.' must have been akin to
those heavenly influences which conse-
crate with JOY the repcntant heart just pu-
rified from sin. Would that every little
son in the land--and many a grown one
could raise from swelling heart the.
happy shout, "AN's nell no,o Daddy's SO.
bcr" How many praises would then as
cend to Heaven! How many joys,would
then enliven earth! How many Old al
tections would then be quickened into be-
ing! How many wives would then wait
with eager anxiety for thosexat whose ap-
preach they now shudder and quake with
terror! How many daughters would
then fondly kiss away the cares Of life,
and light up anew with Joy the brow from
whose savage scowl they now turn in iears
and sorrow!
The exhilarating draught may have its
momentary pcasures-but what are these
| compared with the delights which the
good man sees in his household gods and
his domestic idols!
{ Poets have sung the praises Of the cru
by wine,' 'and the pleasures Of the ssspark
ling bowl''-but the SMILE OF AFFECTION
which graces ruby lips and CLOVIS in
e sparkling eyes possesses a poetry Of the
e heart and symbol Of heaven which the
e "bright nectar Of "ful blushing goble,s"
c must ever strive in vain to equal

the principle now asserted in Rhode Island is
to prevail, that body of malcontents, no
