Mrcu.yIc's LECTURES. The Lecture be-
fore the Mechanics Society, on "Wednesday
evening, was listened to by perhaps the larg-
est audience gathered in Newport on like oc-
casion.
The Lecturer, RALPH w. EMERsos, Esq,
after few remarks gave short account oil
tour to, and through England.
A landsman's sketch Of sea voyage, was
quite wei. told by one evidently little accus'
toned to such matters, and who, although he
NAV have learned to love tomatoes, cannot
abide sal, water.
His idea of English system and Engllsi
character, we imagine to be very correct, and
though some may fancy him little IN love
with them, we think he has expressed just thu
sentiments Of every one, who treads Engisl
soil fot the first time. Mis- short sketch OF th'
machinery, method and order Of that land, wa
very pleasing, showing that England Is IN re
ali,y-a fact which Americans seldom admit
of greater age, larger growth and fuller devel
opement than this country, and, athoug'
nearly full grown, has not yet gone into tn
decline Of life.
We, well pleased, were with most other
expecting much more and something whcrci
Emerson should be seen, when We were SUI
prised by an abrupt termination Of the lecture
and came away convinced that although W
had heard the voice, we had seen none of tn

The steamship Britannia, arrived at Boston,
on Wednesday, the 9th. The cause oil her

The intelligence by this arrival possesses
very considerable interest. In England great
sr confidence begins to prevail among the
mercantile community. The Cotton market
remained steady, and for day or two previous
to the departure of the Britannia, somewhat
buoyant, with rather an upward tendency IN
prices. The Grain markets are reported dull,

THE TEMPERANCE PLEDGE.

The annexed forcible recently put forth by
New York paper why all who principle practice total
abstinence should take the pledge.
THE PIEDsE.-The magic words which comprise what s
called the pledge Of total abstinence from all intoxicating
drinks put together by Mr. William X. Mitchell,
tailor, of Baltimore, in April 1910.
The pledge is comprehensive correct, and clear, yet has
not one unnecessary word. II a frs, blush idle
unmeanng ceremony sign such piece OF paper Yet il
is fact that many persons and most persons who did
break up their bad habits of drinking habits which had be-
come nature have been thereby enabled change
themselves from hsbtus druDkads into sober, industrious,
respectable men, entirely absanng, up the present peod
from tasting the least drop Of Spirits beer wine, cider
Almost oil persons who sgn attend temperance meetings
regularly every week. avoid shops and drinking people,
and confne their intimacy almost exclusively TO such prac
tice total abstinence.
Thus the circumstance Of signing the pledge brings
OF once into sphere OF action views acquanT
ances and better influences. He becomes public speaker,
singer meetings, officer Of society He reads
different sentiments feels happier and healthier improves in
pccunary circumstances and experiences the truth that
the principle Of total abstinence is truly copgena 10 mans
better nature and throws delightful charm about his exist
which new fascinating, pervadng and raises the
mind to nober views
There person regretted signing the pledge, but
every signer regrets that he did not sign sooner.
Il seems be precious gift from Heaven than any
invention Of mortal The blessings attending signing
the pledge are 30 great each individual and mankind in
general that doubt every hand that write or make
mark will long be affixed to the glorious pledge o. neeon
misery, the second and greater Declaration OF lnde
pendence.
