A friend has sent US an account of a meeting
held by a rabble calling themselves Anti-Sons,'
In one of our Western Counties. We decline
publishing the article, inasmuch as it consists
chiefly of the low, vulgar slang usually indulged
in by the Speakers on such occasions. We beg
our friend however, not to Be disheartened or
discouraged, because of these things. Every
good cause will have its enemies. In every
age of the past, history as well as tradition, tell
US the fact, that evil doors have ever been
found ready and willing to revel in the ways of
an Unborn and british instinct. This class have
the unenviable honor of an unbroken line Of
descent, from the days of the orgies of the
I" Cities of the Plains" even up to this good
hour of the worlds history. Their system of
denominations has always been a matter of at
tention with the christian and philosopher, and
a subject of concern and reproach with all good
people. No project, conceived in mercy and
goodness to man, can ever escape their devour-
ing propensities, or evade the slime of their
touch. Even Temperance, virtues latest nur-
sling of good to man, falls beneath their ire,
and must rear a standard to their envenomed
hate.
Let them rant on-trnth is mighty and must
prevail. Let the friends of Temperance go
boldly forward in the discharge of their duty,
and victory will yet be theirs. -

MODERATE

Doubtless you are ready to say that you stand
in no danger from intemperance! So have
numbers before you thought, whose last days
were days of anguish and wretchedness-the
ark of whose ruined fortunes had aoated upon
a sea of tears, shed by a broken-hearted and
sorrowing wife, or by an aged father and moth
er, whose grey hairs had been brought 10 the
grave in mourning and grief. Can there be
any moderate and safe use of ardent spirits p
You might as well talk of carrying a torch into
a magazine of powder, where a single spark
would rend the earth. Suppose as many lives
were lost by the Cars on our Rail Roads, as
are lost by intemperance yearly, in the State,
who would step aboard a single one of them
Why you would call him a mailman who would
dare place his foot upon one of them; yet you
think nothing of entering the Car of intemper-
ance, whose boilers are every day bursting.
scattering death and misery in all directions
Remember that small beginnings lead to great
results. Stephen Girard was once a penniless
vagabond the mall stream in the snowy chimes
of the north becomes the mighty Mississippi,
when it reaches the sunny borders of the south.
The drop of ardent spirits, taken in youth,
swells to the giant in mature age the temper
ale drinker in the morn of life, becomes the
ruined inebriate in the end of his pilgrimage.

DON'T STAND UPON THE TRACK

LII
Have you ever stood. my friend. upon a
railroad track, and watched the cars as they
approached How stealthily and cat-Iike
they creep upon you, until in a moment thew
are gone. To one standing at some distance
they present a different appearance. He Is
aware of their rapid motion, and is amazed
at the tooIhardiness which fingers in their
path. Upon philosophical principles, this is
easily explained. In the former position. the
cars move in the direct line of vision, and the
chief notice which the eye takes of their ap-
proach is from the slow increase of the an
gle which they subtend. In the latter DOS
ition, the train moves across the lire of Wis
ion, and in addition to the very rapid in
crease of the angle which it subtends, the
eye marks also the frightfuI speed with which
it passes objects both Intervening and be-
yond. The inexperienced, nav, the practieed
eye, therefore, often misjudges of the dan
ger, and many a sad spectacle has beer pro-
duced by the delay of those who thought
that there was yet time enough.
The safest rule, then, my friend, which we
can give you in this matter, is, 'nevor stand
upon the track You may stand there many
times, and dream of no danger. But in some
Inflated moment a train may wind around
some neighboring curve, and steal suddenly
upon you, and then a little trepidation-a
slight mistep-a slip of the foot-and we
shudder to think of your crushed and bleed
ing body.
Perhaps, now, my travelling friend, as you
sit quite at your ease in your welLcushioned
car, reading with interest, we hope) the
Raitroad Gazette, you are congratulating
yourself that you are very cautious, and re-
quire no such warming. Sill I saw, with
all soberness, Don't stand upon the track
You cannot AVOID all the evils Of life. Per
lis are around you on every hand. But there
are calamities which, so to speak, more in
right lines. Don't plant yourself in their
path, and defy them. Don't stand in their
track, and disregard them.
Perhaps at the very last station YOU re-
freshed las you call IT'D the inner man with
some strong potation. Ny friend, if so, you
are standing ON the track while the great
car ofretribution comes laundering on-moy-
ing in a right Incorporating with stea-
dy and rapid wheels. Will it not bear down
and crush you?
Perhaps you spend an occasional evening
with q party Of Friends, amusing yourself with
cards or dice, stalking small sums to make
the game interesting. My friend, you are
standing 'on the track Thousands have
stood there and persisted. Don't wait to
hear the paintings of the iron steed, and the
rafting of rushing wheels, but fyfrom the
track. AT a safe distance, stand and view
the wrecks which yon Ponderous train viii
spread before you.
Be advised, my friend. 1t Is not always
easy to know when You are standing on
the track and yet true it is, that, If you
stand there you are in danger. Be vigilant
therefore. Look well to the ground on which
you plant your feet, and forget not, for yet
these many days, our parting words, don't
stand upon the track.'-RailroGd Gazette.

TuAirH' Dfpurtmrut.


We recently heard an interesting young
man exclaim with great earnestness of man
ner, Would to heaven / had been bless
ed with an affectionate, intelligent sister to
grow up with me. | am sure | should have
been preserved from many a folly and many
2 yice BIZ q loving sisters influence Soal-
mos any rejecting young man would think.
II would seem as If it were next to impossi-
bic not to be favorably impressed by female
views and manners and affections, exerted by
so near a relative as an own sister. Much
depends upon circumstances however. II
IS requisite that the sister be prudent, intel
Egent, affectionate, aad hat the brother shall
be governed by something like a chivalrous
devotion to her, paying her that respect, and
showing all those attentions which female
worth and loyeliness should ever receive from
manly bosoms.
With these conditions observed, brother
and sister reciprocaly exert an ~ennobling con
sentative influence, and both are likely to
form characters superior to what either would
acquire if living apart and unrelated. But If
too often happens that young men are will
ing to regard their sister as mere waiting
maids to minister to their convenience and
comfort. It is no part of their plan or prac-
tce to yield generous return of attention,
respect and kindness. The sister is the butt
for all the brothers smart filings at woman's
weaknesses and foibles, not the cherished
ideal offemale worth and grace too often the
brother looks abroad for those qualities, when
by his side is one whom stranger eyes will
Justly regard as a model of loveliness, excel
lence and grace. Our rule is this that any
young man who tenderly loves his sister and
yields her the respect and attention which are
her due, cannot fail TO derive from her an en-,
nobling and purifying influence.

POOR INEBRIATE.

How have these habits of Intemperance been
formed! In youth, perhaps no ones hopes
and prospects were brighter and more inviting
than yours The fowery paths oflife, unencum-
bered by a single obstruction, stretched out be-
fore you. Never did fairer Eden open with
all the loneliness and fragrance of an Ely
stun, before any pilgrim on life's journey
Unsuspicious you drank ofthe fatal bowl. The
willy foe, in tones and accents of friendship,
gained your favor-and has wound itself around
every fibre of your existence. Like the victim
in the tortuous folds of the Boa constructor, it
will crush you to death. In this, like in the
various pursuits Of life, you have to serve an
apprenticeship before you can become an
adept. You have to learn to be an intemper-
ate man before you can become a disciple of
the bacchinal monster. This temperate use
is the wolf in sleeps clothes-it is the school
in which every drunkard that diSturbs the
peace of society has served his apprenticeship
and learned to be an Incorporate man.

in a semicircle as when alive, staring into the
burning waste before them.-TheY had not

GOLD FIRE.-On a winter night a few
years since | was riding through the town Of
Lowell, Maine. My route lay along upon a
high range of land between the Cold Stream
Pond and the Passadumkeag stream. The
large full moon was just rising in the horri-
zon, looking larger than ever. The sleigh
ing was excellent, and my horse, as if charm
ed by the scene, was trotting off at a brisk
rate, when from some cause he suddenly
stopped. On looking for it l discovered a
horse and sleigh driverless. In the sleigh
was a mysterious looking key, sole master Of
the premises, and upon looking for the dri-
yer, l found that individual by the road side
the key was evidently master of him as of
the sleigh. He was muttering something to
himself about a LAUNDERING cold fire." and
blaming an imaginary John for not putting
on more wood" Coming near to him. I
found that he was sitting on the snow, his
feet through the fence, warming them BY
the moon.
