MOUNT ENERGY, Sept. D.
Mr.. EDIToR:-We are indeed sorry to in
form you that Banks Division is defunct,
and while it tells badly upon our communi-
ty, we would not have you suppose, as might
be reasonably inferred, that there is wanting
among US a deep interest in the great cause
of temperance. The power and efficiency of
moral s%uasion, in e%ffecting the desired result,
in relation to temperance, began to be doubt
ed the impression that legal ~compulsion
was the only means by which a change could
be wrought began to rivet itself upon the
minds of our members, and hence, a relaxa-
ton of effort, and the downfall of our once
prosperous and nourishing Division-and we
may also add, the triumph Of the enemies ofour
most glorious institution. Do you ask, have
we been opposed? We answer yes, by those
very men who ought to have been leaders of
the noble band by leading members of the
church! these dram.drinking members of the
Church. have been our most deadly enemies,
haunting us with such expressions as We
knew that you Sons of Temperance were
short-lived we knew that you would burst
your own brains out" &c. How, we ask,
will such men feel when called upon by the
Judge of the Universe to give an account OF
their stewardship? In vain will they call
for rocks and mountains to fall upon them,'
&c. Is there any one so blind, or SO igno.
rant, as not to see and know the injurious
effects of the Rum traffic upon the commune
ty at large? We answer, not one. Then is
it not an enemy to all interests and to oul
entire country? Ought we not to regard
those who favor it, and who oppose a refor
nation, as giving laid and comfort to oul
common enemy? ?" May the Great God b.
pleased to grant success to whatever mean.
that may hereafter be adopted to e~xtirpat,
this deadly curse from the world. j. B. F.

Histology.

"Kissing is a custom handed down to us from
the Greeks and Romans, as the true Specification
Of which, we arc not perfectly clear. Probably it
is symbolic Of the suns rays greeting the earth
and IL so, doubtless was received, with all the
other love Of sun-worship, from the Orientals."
A grovting bachelor.
The miserable curmudgeon of a bachelor
who wrote the above flor no law-abiding
citizen would write SUCH per%petuated a false
doctrine. We have good Scripture authority
for denying that the art of kissing is of
Greek or Roman origion! There is positive
evidence that one Jacob kissed the damsel
Rachel, and then cried for another kiss, cen
turtles before the Greeks or-Romans were in
fashion. And then there is not n shadow of
n doubt that Adam, the First, kissed Eve at
n great rate the very first time they ocere
alone. 1t is foolishness to talk about "sun-
worship" Who cares about &" sun-worship-
Greeks or Romans" when he has an oppor-
tunity Of enjoying the luxury Of u kiss ?
Nobody but u leatber-lipped Bachelor !
Like all other l~uxuries, kissing has been the
subject Of legislation, otherwise some i'm
moderate kisscrs would be indulging all the
the time. 1t got to be so much in vogue in
Connecticut, in 1000, that it became a prom
incnt chapter in her famous Blue Laws. In
1850 u trial was had-Commonwealth as.
Sarah futile and Jacob Newlice. 1t was
proved that Sarah lost her satchel and Jacob
found it. When Sarah demanded the pro-
perty, Jacob required a kiss for his trouble.
(Strange why the jacobs" are so fond OF
kissingD Sarah considered the reward
reasonable and paid it. The Court fined
them each 20 S. But if they did not get
their moneys worth afterwards it is a won.

sensation, as the characters are all taken from real

Rise up from the rocky earth-their foothold,
And bear the record Of many n glorious name.

Written in letters of living fire,
They send their red light through immensely,
And gather strength as Heaven draws nigh and

Sitting out jewels from the sands OF life,
Needless of searching suns and fierce turmoil,
Making earth beautiful despite its strife.

Swelling with fire celestial, widely riven
From earth's cold selfshness, and proud disdain,
Beating but for earth's happiness@and Hedrcn =!

H. G. FARRRLLs ARABIAN LINIMENT

This celebrated medicine, skillfully composed as
it is of the most healing balsams and penetrating
oils, can never fail to cure almost every affection
that could be alaeviated by an external remedy
Its superiority over all other Liniments is proven
by the miraculous cures it performs, and by the
great and constantly increasing demand. There
has been sold within the past year more than three
millions of bottles, and there can be but few per-
sons found who do not bestow upon it the highest
praise for the rare virtue 1T possesses. Nothing,
perhaps, since the creation of the world, has been
so successful as an external remedy for all nervous
diseases, as this wonderful curative. Whom ap-
piled, it instantaneously diffuses itself through the
whole system, soothing the irritated nerves, allay-
ing the most intense pains, and creating a most
| delightful sensation. Read the following remark
able cure, which can be attested to by hundreds
who were fully acquainted with the whole circum-
stance.
CHRONIC ENLARGEMENT OF THE TONSILS.
My daughter, when six months old, was taken
with a swelling in the %tonsils, which grew larger
and larger, till when six years old she had
great difficulty in swallowing her food. Every night
watch was kept, fearing she would suffocate. The
best doctors attended her but could give no relief.
l took her to the most eminent doctors in the East
they said there was no help for her but to outgrow
it. With a sad heart I returned home with her,
when she became so much worse that the doctors
had to be called in again they decided that the
tonsils must be cut off, as the only means of Civ
ing relief. My wife would not consent to this, and
she determinedto try your Liniment, which gave
relief the very first application, and by a continu.
ed use she entirely recovered. She is now ten
years old and feshy and healthy as could be de-
sired. Your Liniment is also the best in use fol
sprains, bruises, cuts, burns, headache, etc., and
it will remove the most severe pain in a few min.
