THE HELP OF MINISTER'S.

Standing as they do, liz positions of high re-
sponsbity, and holding the power of great
and extensive usefulness and influence, we
rejoice to have the sympathy and assistance of
our brethren in the ministry. They are all forus;
not, perhaps, in every particular instance OF our
operations, but for us in the great cause OF
temperance and truth. Their calling demands
thai they should encourage US in all proper
efforts 10 discountenance vice, and are they re-
gardless of their obligations to help us2
A frequent reference TO the subject OF tempea
rance in our pulpits is highly advantageous
to the progress of the blessed work Of bringing
men back to virtue and sobriety; and we are
glad 10 learn, by reports from the various
churches, that such reference in the most for
chile and effective manner, is not neglected
to be made. On last Sabbath, for instance, two
of our most gifted ministers introduced this
subject into their sermons, and made such ex-
cellent disposition Of it as to waken up deep
thought upon its importance in many minds
We doubt not others also are equally careful
in their pulpit efforts to keep this matter before
the people, and we do indulge pleasing hope
that the good which has already grown out of
the efforts of the friends of our cause may seem
as nothing compared to what will very soon
appear as the result of these exertions. Some
call US Incorporate advocates OF temperance.
We do not so view ourselves we do not so
view our ministerial or lay brethren, or our
friends out Of the churches who aid US. There
Is much TO be accomplished, ard we, with
those who so kindly second our efforts, are
only aiming to perform well and fully our part
in Gods work Our enemies (if we have them)
may oppose, but they will oppose in vain. for
we intend. BY Gods blessing, to go on in the
good work; our friends (and we know they are
many) may rest assured. that the aid they af-
ford is useful, and gratefully received, and
they, with ourselves, have much ground for
encouragement Then let all fears be given
to the winds, and let US steadily proceed in
the path OF our duty. Especially would we
say TO our ministerial brethren, continue 10
help US on in this department of Christian en-
terprise. God will bless you in the deed:

CASES OF WIFE WHIPPING.
What is it but Map OF busy life,
Its fluctuations, and its vast concerns p CotDper.

CASES OF WIFE WHIPPING.
We have heard of three cases this week, OF
this very accomplished and gentlemanly sport.
But the one 10 which we now wish public at
ten,ion directed, took place some few days ago
on Church or Union Hill. The lady is said to
be an amiable, kind, and affeclionate wife; and
the man, or brute, or whatever the being is,
who claims to be her husband, is said TO have
passed as respectable person, heretofore.
From what we can learn the entire blame lays
at the door Of the assailant; and if there is no
law TO protect innocent and virtuous females,
then the neighbors should take the matter in
hand, and deal with tas their judgments may
dictate. II is duty every man owes to him
self and family, TO protect the unprotected, and
we do seriously hope the men of Union Hill
will give this matter their attention. The dis
ease of wife whipping is said to be very easily
cured, if taken in time. The remedy is Sc
we're one, but apply it faithfully, and it 1t does
not perfect a cure, the disease must be incura-
bic.
Prescription catch the varmint-then
strip hm-take new cowhide, and have 1t
applied by muscular arm, 80 times on the
bare back. Tar is said TO be cure for wounds,
so after the whipping, give him good coat OF
tar, TO which add about iour pounds Of feathers
as polish, and then dip the whole concern in
to some frog pond. This remedy is very sim
ple--and we are told by those who have seen
it tested, that it is a never failing one.
We are as much opposed to lnobs as any
man in the world, under ordinary circumsan-
ces, but where man so far orgets his vows
before Heaven, as to whip or mal,reat the fe-
male that has given up all for him, and seeks
nothing but his pleasure, then we say no pun
ishment can be too severe for him, even should
he lose his ears. Palsied be the hand that dare
smitc the cheek he has sworn to love and
cherish. Richmond Tyme,

EULoGY ON THE LlFE AND CHARACTER OF
JAMES HoBAN, Esq, pronounced March 9th,
1916, before the Irving Literary Association
of Washington City. BY John G. Norris
This is neatly printed little pamphlet Of l6
pages. The Eulogy appears well in print,
and is worth a careful perusal. We have not
room for an extensive notice Of the Address,
but will give one brief extract:
"Mr Hoban was a citizen Of great moral
worth and usefulness. He was associated
with every signal and beneficial movement Of
the community; and the assistance ne render
ed was not that of the sentmentallst, but that
of activity and real devotion. His eioquence
and influence were powerfully exercised IN the
support and furlherance Of the Temperance
reform; and from his accurate knowledge Of
human nature, and his extensive acquaintance
Of the evils that inebriating habits entalf-an
acquaintance derived in part from witnessing
in his profession that the victims OF intemper-
ance are mostly subjects of legal penalties
