unless Christian men are willing to
forego their political preferences; for
get for the time, that they are party
men, and go fr temperance men Of
any or Of every politics. We feel,
thanks to an overruling Providence,
that our attachment to parties, as
such is on the wane; that we are dis
posed TO follow parties only so far as
they are in the right. We love our
old parties, but we love truth and
righteousness more, and will follow
these in all our political relations.
The true object of politics is, the
moral elevation Of our country
Christians, then, are interested in the
politics of the country, and have du-
ties which they ought to perform, and
from which they are not exhonerated,
because the present system of man
agement is obnoxious to them. Our
duty is even more imperative, than if
the political management Of our peo-
pie we're the pride and honor of our
country. National temperance is a
political principle, and one which es-
pecially commends itself to the Chris
tian community. We do not think
that a temperance party should be
planted for perpetual growth; but only
to endure until effectual measures be
taken to stop the liquor traffic, when
there would, for this object, no longer
be any use for a party. Dissolution
must be the, ineyitahle peslaltl.a
ism in our country. The Standard Of
political excellence, if we are to pros,
per as nation, must be CHRISTIAN
VIRTUE. There can be no party ques-
tion of more Importance to the coun-
try, and it is hoped that each and
every Christian man will lend his in
auence for the temperance cause at
this time. Brethren, the souls of men
are too precious to be sacrificed upon
the altar Of party, or to be cast into
perdition through Indifference. The
thousands who are yearly tumbling
over the broken walls of time into the
abyss of eternal woe, are crying to you
to stretch forth a saving hand. Will
you do it?

by himself, grieving over his act of

There was no hesitation in the boys

thought of doing his father service,
and reached out his hand for the pack
age. On receiving it he bounded away
with light step.
"There is powerin kinduess," said
the father, as he sat musing, after the
lads departure. And even while he
sat musing over the incident, the boy
came back with a cheerful, happy face,
and said, u.

father!"
Yes, thereis the power of kindness.

and gentleness there is the power Of

From the Journal and Messenger
The Temperance Question.

.L The Temperance Question,
We are glad that the attention of
the friends OF temperance is once more
reused, and that they are about to
take such measures as they deem best
calculated to secure the passage of the
Maine Liquor Law for Ohio. This
law, it is now conceded, offers the best
prospect to counteract the evils Of
drunkenness. This vice of vices has
been sadly on the increase of late
years; and if there be any remedy for
it, we hope no pains will be spared in
pushing that remedy to the utmost
extremity. There is manifest deter
mination with our temperance men in
Hamilton county, and they are Sec
onded by large number Of those, who
are not particularly identified with the
temperance movement, but who are,
nevertheless, lovers of morality, vir-
tue and good order, to do work that
will tell for humanity in all time to
come. I'll
1t is high time that we we're at
work. Faith, and even prayerful So
licitude, are not sufficient. What we
want is disposition to do like Nehe-,
miah of old; we must see that the
people have mind to work. Success
will crown the toiling hand. Much
has been done; but there is still very
much more to be accomplished, Great
moral changes are seldom wrong ht in
a short season. Il takes time to ac-
complish any good work. Seeing hat
such is the fact, it is high time that
we were up and doing, for it is fear
full truth, that intemperance is great
ly on the increase through all the land.
Something, therefore, must be done to
stay this fruitful source Of national as
well as individual degradation. 1t is
vain to depend upon persuasive meas
ures. There are two arguments that
persuasion, however urgent, can new
er overcome-interest and appetite.
The poor inebriate cannot resist the
allurements and temptations all around
him; and the rum-seller cannot resist
without the soothing influence of law,
his love,o ,of gain. Why not give him,
then, this soothing cordial? 1t is the
only way to reach his conscience, and
of course the only way to do him
good, as well as the only one to save
his victims. There is no doubt, that
moral suasion is utterly insufficient to
effect this moral change-to induce
men to abandon their wine cups
What, then, must be done at this cri-
sis? Shall we abandon all effort, or
shall we adopt more vigorous and de-
termined measures. The latter course
is most clearly pointed out as the path
of duty. Let us, therefore, once more,
in good earnest, buckle on the armor
and 20 forth to the battle against this
great monster, King Alcohol. The
plan is to organize temperance clubs
in every ward and township in the
county; keep up regular meetings;
discuss the merits of the Maine Liquor
Law, andbe in readiness in the fall, If
none of the parties should see fit to
select temperance men as candidates
for our suffrage, to offer for represen-
tatives to the people ourselves, men
who win support such a law. Moth
ing can be done toward the object,

PooR RELATIvEs.-A man of fifty
years of age and unmarried, who re-
I g:a;ded near 50 Omar. was lately taken
,lrses .t4 Bagn
he had Some money, host ol Ieptls
ews and nieces at once flocked around
him protesting their affection. AS he
was not the dupe of all these demon
strations, he told them very briefly that
above all things he desired 10 be left
tranquil, and that in consequence who
ever came near him during his illness
should be disinherited. They all with
drew accordingly, but notthe less were
most anxious to hear how the patient
was going on. His state became every
day more and more grave, and his
relatives abstained, according to the
orders given from going to see him
all but one, niece named Josephine,
who insisted on attending him during
his illness, IF you persist in remain
ing here" said the sick man, "I will
certainly disinherit you" "Do So"
she said, "butyou are too ill to remain
without some relation to take care of
you, and determined to stay" The
uncle sent two days afterwards for his
notary, and made his will, which was
duly Witnessed, and the rumor was
soon in circulation that the disobedient
niece was disinherited Some days
after the uncle died, and on the will
being opened, it was found that every
thing he possessed was left to Jose
pbine. on the ground that "she was
the only relation he had that felt for
him a disinterested affection" The
property left amounts to about so, ,0oOi,

tTom!-here!' said father to his
boy speaking in tones Of authority.
The lad was at play. He looked
towsrd his father, but did not leave
his companions. .l ...|
H "Do you hear me, sirl" spoke the
father more sternIy than at first.
With an unhappy face and reluc-
tant step the boy left his play, and
approached his parent.
"Why do you creep along at a
snaits pace?" said the latter, angrily.
"Cone quickly, | want you. When

Here take this note to Mr.. S.,
and see that you don't go to sleep by
the way. Now run as fast as you
can o." .au
Ths boy took the note. There was
cloud upon his brow. He moved
away but at a slow pace.
"Ypu Tom! is that doing as or
deredi Is hat going quickly?" called
the father, when he saw the boy creep
away. ''If you are not back in half
an hour will punish you"
But the words had but little effect.
The boys feelings were hurt by the
unkindness of the parent. lie expe-

ftaher, speaking to friend who had
observed the occurrence. "My words
scarcely made an impression on him."
"Kinds words often prove most
powerful" said the friend.
The father looked surprised.
"Kind words" continued the friend,
"are like the gentle rain and refresh
ing dews! but harsh words bend and
break like the angry tempest. The
first, develope and strengthen good
affections, while the others sweep over
the heart in devastation, and mar and
deform all they touch. Try him with
kind words; they will prove an hum
dred times more powerful"
The father seemed hurt by the re-
proof; but it left him thoughtful. An
hour passed away ere his boy re-
turned, At times during his absence
he was angry at the delay, and medi-
tated the infiction of punishment.
But the words of remonstrance were
in his ears, and he resolved to obey
them. 49,. ... ...n..
At last the lad came slowly in with
a cloUded countenance, and reported
the result of his errand. Having
stayed far beyond his time, he looked
for punishment, and was prepared to
receive it with an angry defiance,
To his surprise, after delivering the
message he had brought, his father,
instead of angry reproof and punish
ment, said kiddly, I ..
every well, my son, you can go
out to play again"
The boy went out, but was not hap
py. He had disobeyed and disobIiged
his father, and the thought of this
troubled him. Harsh words had not

SELFIsHNEss AND BENEvoLENcR.-
The selfish man that lives for him
self alone, who neither ministers to or
cares for the kindly sympathies of
others, is like the stagnant pool of wa
ter, a life.ess, useless being, fit only to
infest the social world with pestient
moral disease; while the benevolent
heart, that is ever open to the sympa-
thies of others, and continually send
ing forth its springs Of kindness to min
lister comforts to needy souls, is like
the beautiful lake among the hills,
which receives into itself the cool riv-
uIets from the mountains, warns them
in its own sunlight bosom, reflects back
the smile which admiring heaven be-
slows on its own loveliness, and then
sends forth its gladdened waters, in
rejoicing streams to give new verdure to
the plants, and beauty to the meadows
below. You will always see fragrant
lilies floating on the bosom Of such a
lake, and cheerful smiles playing on
the countenance that radiates the love
illness of such a heart.
