AND ANOTHER /!

We had just put the foregoing notice in
type, when we received another new ally, pub
lished in Providence, Rhode Island, called
"The Pledge" This sheet is published by
DANIEL B. DoDs, and devoted to the general
cause. We extract the following from its
columns:
Every person at all acquainted, or observant
of matters and things in our city, cannot but
be struck with the dreadful and certain issue
which awaits many of our young men, from
their constant exposure to the use of strong
drink. 1t seems almost miracle for young
man Of generous and easy disposition, however
well educated he may be, whose heart has
not been under strict moral culture, to pass on
and not be ruined. And in view of this fact,
many persons have sent their sons from the
city for time, in order to take them from
those deadly influences which surround them
here at home.
Dreadful, indeed, must be the state of So
ciety, where parents are compelled to expa-
triate their children, to avoid the snares of the
rumseller. On whom does the responsibility
rest for such state of thingse Certainly, on
each ard every person whose influence is mol
toith the temperance cause.
