TEMPERANCE MEETING IN NEW
TOWN

We are requested to call public attention 10
the fact, that the Teetotallers will hold a torch
light meeting To-JMorrow Night in Newtown,
on the ground in the neighborhood of the Metho-
dist Church, the Trustees of said Church having
decided that neither the cellar nor the first floor
shall be used by the citizens for purposes of Tenn
perance. We are utterly astonished at this
strange decision on the part of the modest and
energetic disciples of John Wesley, but we sup
pose that his spirit lowered over the conclave of
Trustees, that in such pious mood, protected the
house from dissertation. Let the Teetoiaers
rally in great numbers, and in the spirit of our
Saviour, when speaking to the woman of Sauna
ria, teach all that the truth can be spoken and
good be done, in other places besides the noun
tain, or the temple. To besure, your money
built it, but what of that? 1t is not yours no,C-
and you have no right to complain of being turned
out of other mems doors. Go ONE, go ALL.

ny THOMAS HOOD.
We wateh'd her breathing through the night
Her breathing soft and low,
As in her breast the wave Of life
Kept heaving to and fro.
So silently we seem'd to speak,
So slowly mov'd about,
As we had lent her half our powers
To exc her living out
Our very hopes belied our fears,
Our fears onr hopes belied-
We thought her dying when she slept,
And sleeping when she died
For whbn the morn came dim and sad,
And chill with early showers,
Her quiet eyelids olos'd-she had
Another morn than ours.

One tale alone they weave

Their full delights to know
