a Temperance Atmospkere.-A few days
since. a temperance meeting was held oh
board the L. 5. lrigate Independence.
when one handred and ninety. eight of
her brave crew signed the temperance
pledge, and declared themselves forever
free and independent OF King Alcohol.
A late newspaper from Sweden says.
fifty thousand persons have already sign
ed the temperance pledge there. and the
number was daily increasing. The cool
causc is also rapidly progressing in Ger
many, Prussia, and throughout Europe.
In The state Of Georgia there is a pop
ulous aud thriving village. in which moi a
drop Of ardent spirits is sold. When the
village was laid out, and lots sold. every
deed given Of u lot, had an article iuser-
ted in il, that the lol, with all The improve.
menls made thereon. should be forfeited,
and revert TO The original owner. or his
heirs, whenever a dram shop, or place for
the sale Of ardent spirits. should be open
cd upon it. The village has been exempt
from almost every description of immor-
ality up to the present day, aud is one of
the iappiest villages in our country. and
there is no reason why it should not CON
tinuc to be so, TO The end Of time. We
hope The above restrictions and examples
may hereafter. be universally followed.
