THE DUKE OF ARGYLE

The Scottish League is warm in its congrat-

Glasgow, where the Duke was treated with the
highest distinction, he would neither drink wine

TEMPERANCE CELEBRATION.

We learn from the Wilmington papers, that
the Rechabites, Sons, and Cadets of Temper
ance, had a grand celebration in that place on
the 28th ult. A capital Address was delivered
by our highly esteemed Bro. R. T. Hefin, in
the Baptist Church, to an immense auditory ;
after which, the procession marched to a beau
tiful grove, where was prepared, on two long
rows of tables, a rich repast, which for variety
and goodness cannot be easily surpassed-for
which the Committee of Arrangements and all
concerned deserve great praise.
The whole celebration passed off in fine style
The number in procession is supposed by til,
Commercially to have been from $50 to 2OO.-
The sight was a very imposing one, and no
the least interesting part of the assembly wa
those noble youths, the Cadets of Temperance
who have early given themselves to the goo
of society. God bless them-and grant tina
many just like them may be found everywher
in our land-with all sorts of Temperate
Champions.

RECHABITES.

A general Convention of the Independent
Order of Reehabites has just been held at
Greenbush, N. Y. Seven States were repre-
scented, viz: Vermont, Massachusetts, New
York, New Jersey, Maryland, Virginia, and
North Carolina.
1t was deemed expedient, upon examination,
to reconstruct the whole fabric of the Order,
and, to effect this, the old laws were remodel
led, and a new ritual prepared. Such as wers
present were unanimous in deciding it to be in
accordance with the wishes of the Order gen.
orally.

DAUGHTERS OF TEMPERANCE

BY R. s. MD.
Daughters of Temperance! noble as thou art,
Thy influence cheers the responding heart
Thy words of hope and love cheer Temperance
on,
And bid the dreaded g tyrant-fend' begone.
Woman-God's best gift!-thy influence pure
Our army's certain triumph will ensured
May heavens choicest blessings ever be
Showered on your pure fraternity!
Thy trusting heart has oft had cause to know
The misery, pain and fearful woe,
Dark offspring Of the doubly-cureed bowl
That binds the mind and letters heart and
soul;
The hend, whose blighting touch, like Sim
moons breath,
Is p~estilcnce, scattering woe and death
Who walks abroad in hellish might,
Nor spares the good, the beautiful or bright.
Then, maids and matrons! all who love oul
land,
Your influence lend to aid this noble band;
Oppose the demon-monarch's further course
And from fair freedoms land his cohorts force
Mercy calls, in sweet, imploring voice,
And bids you make the dropping heart re
joice,
Charity's fond words your hearts address,
And bid you wipe, in gentle tenderness,
The gathering tear from the widows eye,
And kindly still the orphans mournful sigh.
Thy pure white banner to the breezes throw,
And as its emblems in the sunbeams glow,
Your VOWS Of love and truth again renew,
And battle till the triumph is in view
Till every stain of the foul vice is gone,
And Virtue smiles the blooming land upon;
Till men shall all in conscious virtue strong,
Join in the accents Of the Temperance song.
And when thy fleeing course on life is o'er,
And God shall call thee TO brighter shore,
May thy pure band, in bright Regalia rise,
To Join the celestial Union in the skies!
