Horrible Depravity.

A miserable female made her ap-
pearance on Barr street, Saturday last,
beastly intoxicated. She staggered
and fell at almost every step, and
from her polluted mouth issued a con-
tinued volley of the most horrid bias
phemy and obscenity, such as dis
graces a Christian community, and
brought the tear of sympathy into the
eyes of all the humane that beheld
her; we say the humane, because, we
blush for our own sex, when we say
there was a rabble crowd gathered
round her, who apparently feasted
their dePraved natures upon the fallen
and miserable conditions of her who
might have adorned the domestic cir
Gle, and there been the central star of
a armament of kind affection. She
was finally taken up and conveyed to
the watch-house.

A Good Omen.

In Bro. Aigin's letter, published last
week, we have an account Of the or
ganization Of new Division Of 5. OF
T., which took place in the Presbyte-
rian church, in the town of Radnor,
o., two ministers becoming members
at the time. This, Bro. A. says, is
the fruits Of the labors Of Rev. Bro.
Herbert and the influence which the
Organ has exerted in that section.
'What + exclaims many Christians,
ga secret society organized in "a house
Of prayerP" Yes, thanks to the day
star of intelligence. The great secrets
of our Order are beginning to leak
out, which are, the reclamation OF the
poor wanderer from the path of vir-
tue--the restoring of peace and COM
fort to the abandoned and suffering
mother, and her worse than orphan
chiIdren-in short, it is to remove
from society the greatest obstacle to
the advancement of true religion that
the Christian Church has ever had to
contend with. Do these wonderful
secrets startle you, Christian friends?
Alas, that you had not discovered
them long ere this. Then our Order
would have been spared having to con-
tend with two such potent influences,
namely, the hosts of Satan and the ill
founded prejudices of the Church.
The triumph Of the great temperance
reformation, for which the Sons have
covenanted together to battle, is of as
vital Importance to the advancement
Of Christ's cause, as was the Refor-
nation of the immortal Luther, in the
18th century. Why, then, should moi
Christians join with us in this glorious
work? They are, we are happy to
say, manfully uniting with us in some
places; but in others, they are arrayed
Gladiator-like against our Order, and
to remove their deeply rooted preju-
dices, is like moving mountain. May
the day soon come when our true OBJ
ject will be understood and apprecia-
ted by all, and then "the work will 60
bravely on"
