WHITTIER ARE WE BobND ?--EFroni the first
OF last January until the present time, we have
exported near thirty millions of coin. During
the same time we shipped very largely of Agri-
cultural products. Now we are told the excel
lent crops in Britain, France and Europe, gene
rally will reduce the export demands This
VIII undoubtedly prove true, unless wheat comes
down again to near ST. per bushel, when cheap
rates may stimulate expectations.
Does the expectation of S300000O0 of hard
coin, IN eight months, help our money market I!
Does country that sends out that SUM of mo-
ney yearly to fill up the balance of trade, -
grow rich or poor by The operation! That
much poorer, of course, than it would be if the
same money was used to pay for home labor,
instead of foreign. The profits on that much
money used at home, would make some very
handsoms improvements in our own county,

| TEMPERANCE IN AUSTRALASIA letter from
! Melbourne, Australia, gives an awful account
OF The traffic carried on in that distant land.
Inc friends OF that country will have to work
hard, we imagine to check such an extensive
trafhc as this. The writer says =" Temper
ance and all the vices which are promoted nv
At, seems 10 be on the increase here. DramselI-

ness OF tile country, and the good will of a
good stand can at any time, be sold for from 3.

quence has been that every unprincipled scamu
who was 10 lazy to work, If he had sufficient
money to pay tor Il license, has procured one,
and every corner has its groggerY OF the vlest
character. Some ofthe ost vIluable locations
are occupied as rum shops. The enormity OF
evil has aroused the friends oftemperdnce, who
have formed Maine Liquor League, ana urge
the beneficial working of the law in the State
as grand argument in favor of its inactment

We arm that bat few weeks ago, a char

was sent out to this region, through Bro. Edger-
y, q. s.. of Eastern New YORK, and we have
no doubt that before long we will hear of the

Maine Law will soon follow,-Yemperanc Or.

"GOiNG 1T WHILE YoUHG."-A talented
ana interesting young man said to us once
not more than one In ten Of the young men,
VINO take social glass. and occasionally drink
10 much beer, ever becomes Il drunkard" A
young man OF sense ought to know when he is
gelihg 100 1ond OF dram, and quit right off,
When he flndS he has not self control"
we INSISTED HAT il" one III ten" was ruined
Il ought 10 be an irresistible argument against
"ri"k'rg the first social glass If one out OF
every ten died Ofcholera, who failed to take a
certain preventative, who would run the ris.
OF ng that one :! Would not all, without
delay, seek the remedy. 1t is, also. too late
TO quit right of when the youth finds himself
unable to resist temptation.
Our friend, not then drunk4rd, sleeps to-
day IN drunkard's grave. Thousands enter
tam the same tree-and-easy opinions, will soon
be his fellow dwellers in the land of darkness.
lHqng man you would be sure OF not drown
n.y. venture not into the rapid current of this

IT. applied tor an Interpretation, when it was
ioun! to read, "this is the worst wine they have
got"
