laws q the Commonwealth requiring thu observance

tavern keepers notified their customers that for

many cases to-day and privately the sale Of liquor Is
carried on, though almos, every establishment is

A most amusing scene occurred Last night. A

were on the watch TO give information Of any In

for having said in reference to the
Young mems christian association, that
1t would be better to 60 to aoork re-
lieving the distress IS Of the furnishing
multitude than to make 80 much noise
about printing bibles for them. This
is practical view-the Delta is cor.
rect, however much the world NAV
differ with him. There is sin AMI. in
iquity in large cities, that no book, or
sermon can arrive at, and the genuine
philanthropist should pull off his coat.
and go to work in it. The ignorant
and impoverished multitude from
which, the small vices Of society are
ever creeping, should be taught indus
try and sobriety. They should be tax
en- by the hand, and the pIeasantness
Of the ways Of virtue pointed out, nay,
more than this, they should be sup
ported until they gain strength to stand
alone, and then there is nothing to
fear.
