/ No, Ladies'; we are TAR from depreciatiuu
your moral worth, or of fearing 10 entrust
within the sacred repository OF that affection
ate bosom, any secret which honor or duty
demand you should know. We revere your
delicate character, appreciate your moral
worth and love your society. We feel that
| our would be dreary world, and life bur
/ den indeed without you. We hope never TO
| be deprived OF your society while permitted
to occupy place on the footstool of our
Heavenly Father. And when called to wit
ness my own dissolulion-when my heart
strings are giving way and a mortal paleness
gathering on my cheek-may the soothing
voice of fond mother, aiiect;onate wife,
loving daughter console me III that hour.
May the soft, delicate hand of woman smooth
my pillow and remove the cold perspiraton
OF death from this brow. and can leave the
world without a sigh, 1. struggle or n guoan.
Only give us your smiles and encouragement,
and with Gods blessing we will ceuquer-
take the world, dethrone King Alcohol aud
ilberate the captive.
Our increase has been wonderful, perhaps
seldom equaled and certainly never surpass-
ed by any association of human origin. In
1872 only SIX years ago, was the Declaration
OF Nloral lndendence signed in the city Of
New York, by sixteen Washngtoniaus-
Since which time largely above two hundred
thousand noble-spirited volunteers have put
on the badge of LOVE, PURIrY and FIDELITY,
and mustered into the service.

Mothers. persuade your sons to join us
wives, entreat your husbands, young ladies'.
use your influence with your sweet hearts to
come and help us; you will one day be wives
yourselves, and all that our laws require will
tend to the lasting good of your husband, and
of course to yours, as you will then be one.
IT'S not the Son of Temperance whose wife
shrinks at his advance /; who lost 10 honor
Knocks and spurns her at his feet. IT'S not
the Son of Temperance whose children fear
and shun him. But returning to his home.
behold the Son of Temperance; with buovant
heart and step the partner OF his bosom looks
up and smiles his welcome, his children fiv TO
meet him, their little arms embrace him
with lip and heart they bless him. May they
have cause TO bless every father in This as
sembly, while they present before the altar
of fond mothers affections their grateful
acknowledg ments for the interest she has ia
ken, and the unbounded influence she has
exerted in aiding forward that institution
which has resulted in So many blessings OF
incalculable blessings TO the human famil-.
| say, brethren, fight on; our cause is a good
one. 1t calls into action the best aud holes,
principles Of our nature, and success must
crown our efforts.
Conquerors have had their trophies, ora
tors have reared eternal monuments to their
memories, poets have bound their brOws with

quently been done, however, at the expense
of human happiness, of virtue and religion
but the trophies that lie at our feet are the
deeds of charity-the proud achievements Of
lives spent in the cause Of humanity and be
uevolence. They are unstained by crime and
unsullied by tear, unless it be the tear OF
Joy and gratitude. Our cause is onward
may heaven speed its march. May King
\ lcoho be slain and his funeral well attended.
