the day following BOTH ihvths after.
ternoon and evening Bro. EdWardsad.
dressed Us on temperance, in a very
able manner. His discourse was well
thought Of by all. His audience was
slim in the day time, but at night
quite a number were in attendance.
A great many of the fair sex were
there with smiles and cheering coun-
tenances, TO encourage us; and it did
encourage US, too. Tie ladies' (and I
believe they are knowing to the fact)
can exert great influence among the
stener part of mankind; and in this
great reform they should, and it is
their duty to. do it-they are doing it,
too. They are the innocent sufferers
at the hands Of this grim monster in.
temperance, and nothing should be
left undone which would facilitate the
determination Of the monster from our
land. Bro. Edwards has promised us,
that he, together With Bro. Williams,
would be here on the 22d inst, and
give a course Of lectures. | am glad
Of that, we have long needed some
thing Of the kind. ''''"
Besides the Sons Of Temperance,
we have 3 a prospeling Section Of the
Cadets of Temperance. They have
been organized but short time, and
now number about thirty. Now, all
that is wanting, is the Daughters Of
temperance; and then, I think, we all
can do much more good in addition
to what has already been done! The
ladies are beginning to rouse up, and
all that is necessary, is a strong mind
ed woman to take the lead, and all
would follow. 1t is a path, perhaps,
in which they would find many disad.
vantages, but in the end, they would
be amply rewarded, in finding peace
and contentment shed abroad in the
land. May that time soon roll around ! |

Law, or something better, in Ohio.

here, who will vote for temperance men
to fill our legislative halls. God speed |

Drinking in England.

| have never before been SO pro-
foundly impressed with the policy of
the Maine Liquor Law, never before
felt so deeply grateful to the pefseverg
ing advocates of Temperance in my
own country. Intoxicating liquor in
some form Or other is almost univer-
sally used in London. You can not
spend sociable evening with a friend
without the decanter being produced y
and if you call at a clergyman's house,
you are asked to refresh yourself with
glass Of wine. It is useless to at
tempt any reform among the poorer
classes, while this bad habit pfevailsil
among respectable and wealthy tpeosa

in America; but they, have; yet to
learn it in England. They do mot re-
