PROHIBITION IN ENeLAND.-In England there
is great agaition on the subject of temper
ance and prohibitory law. Sir Robert Peel
is in favor of the movement. The following
resolution was passed by the annual temper
ance gathering in Wakefield, Mr.. Alderman
Harrison in the Chair: "That this meeting
learns with much satisfaction, of the passing
in several States of the American Union, of a
Law (known as the Maine Law which totally
prohibits the traffic in strong drinks, in those
States, also of the partial adoption of the
Maine Law in the British Province Of New
Brunswick, and rejoice in the United Kingdom
Alliance for the total suppression of the Ii
quor Traffic in this country, and whilst desi,
ring to maintain the distinctive character Of
Total Abstinence Societies, commends the AL.
lance to the hearty support Of all who prize
social, moral and religious welfare Of our peo.
ple."

The MISCHIEF OF RuMsELLING.-What the
New Orleans Organ says Of that will apply to
every city in the Union "Almost every night is
marked by some violence against the rights Of
persons, frequently ending in murder. In the
grogshops Of the city these brois originate
tho opardize life and spread through the city.
tt ling of our prisons is their work. Fami-
lie bereft ofprotectors, and hearts are i-
led with woe by their legalized traffic. And
yet the license system still is fostered. If
tthe of tho wrong attributable to it was charge
able to any other cause, would it he permitted
to continue an hour? Why sustain this origi-
nator Of incacuable violence and crime! p

The VETO MESSAGE of Gov. Seymour on
the Liquor Prohibition bill has been neatly
published by a firm of enterprising Importers
of Wines and Brandes, in our City, with their
business Card at the head of it, and is thus
destined to obtain a very wide circulation
1t is safe to presume that the logic of the
document is as satisfactory to the dealers as
the tas of their liquor to their customers.-Ez.
The Gov. finds himself in the company which
he might expect. His fears for the temperance
cause is appreciated in the right direction
The Governor and the liquor dealers are the
ones who have the cause of temperance most
at heart.--Albany Courier.

brood darkly over earth and sky. Many times
during the long, cold days of winter, she has
sat shivering over her work, while warm tears
gushed from her eyes and fell like summer
rain upon her thin, pale fingers. The lad
knows that penury's icy hand has swept the
the glow from her cheek, the glad light from
her eve, the sweet smile from her lips, and
this knowledge gives him such thoughts as sci
dom visit the brain of chill hood
Many vision of wealth fits through his
dreams: many hope burns at his heart that
at some future day he shall be rich and great.
But let him resist the temptation which that
advertisement holds out before him and closing
his ears against the syren, resolve to live in
poverty till he can earn bread by honest means.
A crust and a straw pallet are better than cost
ly viands and the luxurious couch purchased by
this detestable traffic.
There is another lad, in comfortable home,
whose father sees the "Wanted" to which we
allude He is a man of the world, and wishes
his son to rise to wealth and influence. To him
the situation of clerk in a liquor store may seem
attractive, but let him not follow out the nclla-
tion which it has aroused. Let him not place
his child amid the thousand temptations of
such place let him not hold to the bright
lips of his boy the fatal draught if he does,
he too will repent of his folly.
Mother, will you permit your son, SO tender
ly nurtured, to launch his Iife.bark on such a
sea9 Sisters, have you brother whom you
can willingly see accept the offered situation
Would to heaven that from all the homes OF
our land We might hear one emphatic " NO.

KNIGHTS OF TEMPERANcE.-This is an Or

from the ranks of the Sons, and continues them
in membership only so long as their standing

means of reviving the Order of the Sons.
