DIR. McCAW, OF RICHMOND.

The Richmond papers publish the obituary
notice of DR.. McCAw. In reading this obi
tuary we were struck with the heroic con-
duct mentioned in the following extract.
which will no doubt prove as interesting to
our readers as it did to us:
"When the appalling burning of the Rich
nond Theatre took place, in the winter OF
1911, DR.. Nc CAV was present. AT the cry
Of fire, recolecung the great crowd and mar
row lobby, he leaped from the side box on
the stage, in the hope Of securing the escape
of his party behind it, Pressing the curtain
aside, he discovered such mass of fame as
most effectually cut off all egress in that
way. Returning instantly by backward
leap, and supporting his wife, he forced his
way to the famous window, around which
he found clustering and snfocating a crowd
Of persons, whose every effort had proved
unsuccessful in opening the shutters, which
strongly barricaded on the outside. By an
effort OF strength almost supernatural, ) he dash
ed to pieces the obstacle, and the first gush
of fresh air gave life to numbers who had
perished without it. Taking his stand then

he carried into effect, and then literally sur

same way. AT last, after saving very many
lives, his clothing reduced to a crisp, as the
floor sunk beneath his feet, he leaped from
the window, the last human being that es-
capped through that outlet His fall produ-
ced an injury of the thigh that rendered him
powerless for motion, and he lay under the
wall OF the burning building until his own
son "a mere lad recognised his voice, crying
for aid, and dragged him down the hill, out
Of danger from the falling wall. Months of
severe pain followed, during the first weeks
OF, which he could not permit the removal
Of a single piece of his clothing; when al
length this was done, the very flannel next
his skin was found burnt, and universal
cicatrix of the back evidenced the amount
of heat he had borne, the painful effects Of
the burn having been completely concealed
by the greater suffering from The torn mus
cles of the thigh. The herosm of this
conduct was only equallcd by the modesty
which prevented his giving the details for
publication, often solicited from him."

TEMPERANCE. n


1t has been often and justly said that the cause
of Temperance is the cause OF Truth.
II is the only subject known to the writer in
which men of all creeds and of no creed, men Of
all parties and of no particular party, can unite In
friendly terms on the broad platform of universal
benevolence.
or all the different orders or societies having IN
view the reformation of the unfortunate, we know
of none better calculated to produce the desired
effect than the "ORDER OF THE UNITED BRorH-
ERs OF TEMPERANCE"
This order, or these associations, have been in
successful operation for three successive terms OF
six months each, and have done SOME good. The
first president was our worthy ex-mayor, the Hon.
James Harper.
The Hon. George Philips Parker, late of Bos-
ton, succeeded him, and his successor was Daniel
Barnes, Esq, of the Pelican Insurance Office of
this city. The present officers, chosen in Novem-

JOSEPH CHAMBERLAIN, and
SILAs HARRIs, Vice Presidents.
EDWARD BURKE, Cor'g Secretary.
JOHN MURPHY, Rec'g Secretary.
VIM. BURRELL, Financial Secy, s
DANIEL BARNES, Treasurer. i
The character of this order is purely democratic,
ces. They have SOME benevolence mixed in,
with their other arrangements, viz:
A part of the dues paid in, go to the support Of
public meetings in order to reform the inebriate
ID Another part goes to assist the individual re-
formed, or wishing to reform, and if he has a
family, they, OF course share in the benefits
Another feature, similar to the Odd Fellows,
Sons Of Temperance, Rechabites, &c. SC. In
case of sickness a weekly stipend is paid, which
many poor fellow has found to be quite help
when unable to attend to his regular business
And when death comes, we bury him at the ex-
pense Of the association.
"It is no disgrace to be poor, but many
Have found it to be very inconvenient."
Some persons object to temperance societies on
the ground that they not favorable to religion

influence of liquor; but believe that no well in.
formed man on the subject of temperance can have
any objections to the ministers Of the Gospel, or

MEssRs. EDITORS :-Gentlemen,-In the
remarks you make on the 7unl-seller's letter
to the Judge, which appeared in last Satur-
days Fountain, there is no denial of the
falsehoods with which that precious docu-
ment abounds; and, as find many of our
teetotal friends believe the charges therein
made to be true, consider it due to myself
to contradict said charges. First: that
" denounced individuals by name as infa-
NOUS, and others reposing," &c., is false
mentioned mo names but those read from
New York temperance paper, all of whom
reside in New York, except one, and his
name | suppressed. Secondly: the state
ment about the pavement being blocked up
ia also false that there was pretty good
meeting admit; but to say that it was so
large as to compel ladies and others to get
off the pavement as far down as the front Of
Browns is not true. don't remember to
have seen any hacks on the stand; for it is
prohibited by law, and believe the hack
men observe the la,c, which is not the case
with the grog-sellers.

Hurl down from his height!
Q, grid on your armors,
His minions are nigh,
I'll give you watchword-,

Must slumber no more!
Shout shout in your glory,
Your caps waving high,
We are fighting for freedom!
We conquer-or die!'
March forth to the battle
All fearless and calm,
The strength Of your spirit
Throw into your arm
And let your proud motto
Ring up to the sky,
Till the very stars echo
"We conquer-or die ~
Strike deep and unerring,
Nor dare to retreat,
Though thousands by thousands
The enemy meet!
The thicker the foeman,
The frmer stand by,
Remembering your watchword,

Go forth in the pathway
Your forefathers trod
Ye too fight for freedom,
Your Captain is God
Fling out your broad banners
Against the blue sky,
And shout like true soldiers,

Not chains for the tyrant,
For chains are in vain
He is planning already
To break them in twain
But raise your deep voices,

TEMPERANCE A HEAVENLY VIRTUE.
The Bible is the grand text book of every
intelligent Teetotaler, and this very fact, in
teresting as it certainly is, has led some to
the very unskillful conclusion that we are
making temperance our God, and becoming
idolators to virtue rather than true wor-
shippers of the Author Of all virtues. | am
intimately acquainted with some who, on
this account, will render no assistance to
the cause of Temperance, at least in its pres
ent organized mode of operation, and must
confess my great astonishment at their in
consistency. They say, "the Church is
sufficient" So say j; but has the Church
no interest in promoting temperance We
do not pretend to put this work in the
place of religion; but is it not in our day
frequently the handmaid Of picty: "And,"
says our differing brethren, "you had as
we'll form anti-swearing, and other similar
societies" To which, reply, there would
certainly be no impropriety in forming such
associations. But we consider the Tenn
perance society as a means of advancing
many minor virtues, and checking many
vices; such, particularly, as gambling, swear
ing, sc. And those brethren in the Church
who will not give their support to Temper
ance societies, should consider that there is
the same propriety in their formation as in
the formation of Sunday school, tract, and
other associations.
How can Christians, under the full con-
vction that Temperance is heavenly vir-
tue, bear to see thousands ruined by intem-
perance-a hellish vice while they refuse
to unite with the friends of virtue in their
noble efforts to pull down this stronghold
of Satan? J. II. w.
