TENTH ANNIVERSARY
OF the American Temperance Union.

The tenth anniversary oflhis institution
was celebrated at the Broadway Taberna-
Gle, in New York, on Thursday evening
the l4th Of May, 1916. Ia absence Of
the President, Chancellor WaIworth. the
chair was taken by the Rev. DR. Edwards,
one of the Vice Presidents. Music was
gwen from a fine brass bauJ, and prayer
was offered by the Rev. DR. Scudder, the
venerable missionary from Madras. An
abstract Of the report was real by the cor.
responding Secretary, when the following
resolution was ofieted by John Tappan,
Esq, Of Boston.
RESOLVED, That the report, of which an
abstract has now been read be adopted,
printed under direction of the Executive
Committee, and widely circulated thro'~
out the nation.
The Rev. Albert Barnes, Of PhiIadel~
phia, then offered the following
ResOlred, That in promoting the tenn
perance reformation. while it is proper
10 invoke the aid Of the laws Of the land,
and the principles of science, and what
ever will in any way promote the tempo
raj welfare of man, the Ultimate reliance
must be on the religious principle, and the
cooperation of the religious community ;
and that every friend Of religion should be
a friend Of the cause of temperance.
M Barnes sustained his resolution by
a lengthy and able speech, in which he
vindicated the temperance cause from all
alliance to irreliglon, and placed it upon
the sure foundation of science, and the
word of God. The resolution was adopt
ed.
The Rev Mr. L1dlow, of Poughkeep>
sic, offered the following resolution
Resolved, That the lnnumerable evils,
physical mental and moral, flowing from
The traffic in intoxicating drinks, render it
The duty OF he lawmakers Of our land TO
suppress it by suitable civil euactments;
and that the opportunity given 10 the peo-
ole OF the State of New York, and other
States, to express their sentiments in rela
ton to it at the ballot box, should rouse
every patriot and christian in these favor
ed States, to such prompt and decided ac-
ton. as shall result IN its entire Danish
ment from our country.
Mr. Ludlow pressed upon The electors Of
New York the importance of doing their
duty at the polls at the coming election,
and with much eloquence and power
showed the folly, while the Safe gives
bounty for the destruction Of evil birds and
beasts, Of licensing men TO kill men, and
spread abroad the greatest caIamilits.
After a collection, the Secretary said he
had hoped to have the pleasure of intro
duciug 10 the audience gallant officer Of

which nature makes in the onward marc h
to beauty and perfection of vegetable and
animal life. AS he looks abroad upon
the fair face ofearh, and behods the sure
steps of increase of the seed committed by
him 10 The soil-o the stock confded TO
his care, and of every thing on either side,
he may well excldim in the language of
hin Just quoted;
Soft rollyour incense, herbs and fruits and
flowers,
In mingled clouds to Him, whose sun exalts,
whose breath perfumes you and whose pencil
[paints. -
Or in the still more sublime and lofty lam
guage oflhe Psalmist, as he feels his heart
swelling with love, veneraton and awe,
he might say:
Chou crownest the year with thy good,
ness, and thy paths drop fatness. They
drop upon the pastures Of the wilderness;
and the linle hills rejoice on every side.
The pastures are covered with focks; the
the valleys are covered with corn. Thy
shout for joy, they also sing. Maine

THE RICH MAN AND THE WIDOW.
With the cold and heartless glare
That sits in the statutes eye,
He sat in his big arm chair,
Nor needed the sufferers cry:-
For what in the world cared he
For the wants of the starving poor?
From their sorrows and grcfs lie Is free,
Twas enough for him to be sure.
With quivering lip and pale,
And a deep drawn sigh or moan,
She told her wrongs-'twas a sad ming tale
That would have moved beaEt of stone:
But what in the world cared he
For the sigh of womanlsh heart?
But to heed the voice of her plea
Would be acting too noble part.
I'm needy and sulf ring she said,
My husband has gone 10 his homo
My children are starving for bread
70 big but morsel Pm come.
Cant help it, can't help it, said he,
And he moved not his noIiouless eye,
And his healt was firm as u rock could be
When the tempest is sweeping by,
with trembling step she retraced
The path that led to his door,
Oncs more her starving children embracedi
Then fell cold corpse to the floor.
But what in the world cares he,
Though suff ring and hunger abound?
To look out for self is the plea,
Thou IN thousands are starving around.

GRADUAL RISE OF NEWFOUNDLAND
ABOVE THE SEA. 1t is a fact worthy of
notice that the whole olthe land about the
neiehborhood of Conception Bay, very
probably the whole island, is rising out of
the ocean at rate which promises, at no
distant day, materially TO affect, if not to
render useless, many of the best harbors
We have now on the coast.

had done great work in purging the ship
of intoxicating liquors; but government
orders had sent him to his post of duty.
He then read his apology for absence:
CHESHIRE, 10Th May, 1916.
My dear sir,-I regret exceedingly that
orders to the Boston station, and suffering
from opthaImia, wiki prevent my being
present and making some remarks at the
temperance anniversary.
hope that the friends of temperance
will petition Congress, until the whi$kev
ration shall be abolished, as this must be
the basis of any permanent reform in the
service.
The frigate Cumberland. during her
last cruise, fairly tested the experiment,
and conclusively proved that discipline,
efficiency, good morals, and everything
requisite to render man of war credila~
BILE to the nation, at home and abroad are
ouly to be secured by the discontinuance
OF intoxicating drinks. Some officers of
the navy are no doubt still opposed TO a.
polishing The whiskey ration for a large
portion of the officers and crew of the
Cumberland, at the outset of The cruise,
regarded it as impraclicabe; but expert
men! changed the sentiment entirely when
the commissioned officers and two hum
dred and fifty OF the crew petitioned Con-
gress for is adjustment.
Respectfully and truly yours,
A. FL. FooTE.
Rev. john Marsh, Secretary
Am. Temp. Uuion, New York.
The Secretary added, that as they were
deprived of the services of one from the
quarter deck, he was happy to introduce
another from the forecastIe, Mr. J. Clark,
who had been eight years seaman OF the
navy, and who would give US an account
of the progress of the cause among the no
Bile tars.
Mr. Clark stepped forward, in his blle
roundabout and white underdrees he was
received by The audience with loud cheer !
ing, and made a very effective address,
which he closed by Song Of the Sea-"
II. NJ. GaIIy Esq, of Cincinnati, closed
the meeting by an eloquent speech, based
OH the following resolution.
Res0lced, That the cause Of temperance
is the cause oil our country and race; es-
septial to our intellectual growth, domes-
lie peace and public prosperity; that the
West halls with joy every new evidence
Of stability and progress at The East; and
hat while the cause should came up fall !

ncnts and the vas! States now forming in
he Grea. Valley and beyond the Rocky
Mountains, from idleness, dscord, vio-
ence, and inevitable destruction.
The benedicton was pronounced by the
Rev. DR. Tying; and the audience dispers-
ID amid new and, ii is believed, not evan
9scent resolutions, to push onward the rri,
