Temperance.

The New Jersey Reformer uses the fol-
lowing excellent and significant words:
" The glory of the Temperance Refor-
nation can never be effaced from the annals
of the worlds history. The reclamation of
bondage of sin and shame, and placing them
again in the path of freedom and happiness
and hope, attests the virtue of the principle
by which, under God, they were saved, and
constitutes an achievement of enduring hon.
or and renown No human enterprise has
ever been inspired by nobler motives, or
sustained and carried forward with more
heroic and unselfsh sacrifices than the Ten
perance Reform.-The best and most gifted |
men the werld has ever seen, cheerfully de-
voted their time and talents to the blessed |
enterprise, oft times suffering obloquy and
reproach for conscience sake, but yet per-
severing against every obstacle for the over
throw of the giant iniquity that overspread
the land The host Of noble spirits who
led thecnterprise, struggled manfully against
the tide of opposition, founded on long es-
tablished and pernicious customs, that bore
down upon them, until tney succeeded in
stemming its wild opposition and turned it
In their favCr. 1t was an heroic triumph.
SO were all the successive advances Of the
reformation up to its crowning triumph
the adoption of the prohibitory principle.
!, And although there have been rcverscs

cerning the Goings Of men contain no bri,.h-

LET NE TRAY FIRST A very intelli-
gent little girl was passing quietly through
fne streets of a certain town short tine
since, when she came to spot where sev-
eral idle boys were amusing themselves by
the dangerous practte Of throwing stones.
Not Observing her, de of the boys, BY ac-
cident, threw sFsFa ttewards her, and
struck her cruel blow IN the eye.
She was carried home in great agony
The surgeon was sent for, and very pain
fu! operation was declared necessary
Wien the time came, and the surgeon had
taken cut his instruments, she lay in her
fathers aims, and be asked her If she was
ready.
"No, father; not yet" she replied.
"What do you wish US to wait for, my
child ?'
"I want to lneel in your Jap, and pray
to Jesus frst," she answered. And then
kneeling, she prayed few minutes, and
J afterwards submitted to the operation with
: the patience of a woman.
How beautiful this little girl appears,
!, under these trying circumstances /! Sure
ly Jesus heard the prayer made in til
:. hour; and he will love every child th;

: ) girl learn to. pray and let idle boys t

History.

The study of history is one of political
and social progress. In the earliest ages
society was in crude, chaotic condition,
equally removed from the luxuries and
re6nements, as we'll as the amenities and
courtcsics, which characterize cur modern
times. We discover the gem Of popular
or republican power in Greece or Rome II
There was get wanting in these republican
states the great essential of free institutions
self governments. The intellectual force
of Grccian character kept in check the revo-
lutionary tendency of the tickle populace.
while in Rome, the intellectual refinement
of Greece tended rather to cmasculate than
invigorate the body polite. The histories
of these states-Greece and Romt-are,
therefore, those Of our instructors IN the
arts and scences-guides in literature and
patterns of intellectual excellence, rather
than models of political and social ethics.
The history of the medieval ages-Whlch
forms the connecting link between the re-
mote past and the prescnt-athough COM
paratiyely barren of instructive teaching,
is necessarily replcte with interest, being
that of our more immediate ancestors, fIom
whom we have derived our language, laws,
and customs The feudal system OF the
middle ages, with all that may be justly
urged against it, for its severe exac'ion'
upon popular free dem, was yet necessity
, Of the times, While it superinduccd love
. Of heroism, patriotism and virtue. A ro

u Tous exploits of the knights-errant. Soci
:. ty, however, was in servilc subjection. TV
n classes-lords, or feudal barons, with the
re ,assals, or serfs- constituted its great dl
,;r tinctions. Feudalism accomplished not
no ing for popular progress. Amid the bil
gS iant constellation of genius, which at leng

Beauties of Christian Females.

The finishing stroke which Christianity
gives in elevatiDg the condition Of woman IS
by inriting and employing their emcr-
qies and Influence inpromoting the spread
ofreligion an the arorld, and thus carrying
out through them, also, the great purpose
of God in the redemption of the world by
the mission Of lis Son. To them, in COM

ye also may have fellowship with us; and
truly our fellowship is with tue Father and
with his Sen Jesus Christ" The honor

To think upon his youthful form prostrated !
But all around their utmost did, the Invalid
to please.
A doting mother, gently bent, her aged form
tosoo the,
And father, sisters, brothers too, his life did
seem to smoothe,
And though as helpless as babe, no duty
seemed task,
A jewel dear he is to them, in smiles he ever
basks.
Five years he's Eeen afflicted now; two, he
has neither moved
His hands or feet nor turned his head to
welcome those beloved;
And mid it all bow sweet to tell, he muir
mers nor complains
Then should not we who are so blest, our
murmurings disdain ?
/ thought of my irgratitude, and breathed a
silent prayer
That l might ne'er again complain, while
mingling with them there
And then thought, how little knows or feels
the heart that's gay
For those afflicted, while in health, he spends
his life's long day.
Twas there saw made manifest, the power
Of Gods love,
To cheer the weary invalid and bid him look
above:
Religion is his comforter, the Saviuor is hlt
Friend
And tho now bound, his freedom will b
sweeter in the end.

spirit will ascend; ;,

song will Blend

through his keen suferings now
The thought that he'll adorn the crown tha
decks the Saviour's brow.

A Certain Cure for Felons.

We are sure that all who have suf-
fered from genuine bone felon will
thank US for making public so simple
and vet so cfectual remedy as the
following. In thousands of instances,
weeks and months of the most intense
suffering have been endured, allowing of
neither rest by day, nor sleep by night,
and when a cure is at last effected, the
finger or thumb is often deformed for
life. As soon as it becomes apparent
that felon is making its appearance,
which is known by continued sore
ness and pain proceeding from the bone,
and sometimes evincing but little change
fer the worse for week or two, take
strong cord of any kind and wrap it
around the finger, above the afflicted
part, as tightly as can be borne. Keep
it in this condition until the pain can be
endured no longer. Now loose the
cord, and as soon as the pain caused by
the cording subsidies, tighten itagain.-
Continue this for several days, or until
the felun is completely blackened and
| killed. We have known several persons
who had been afflicted with felons to
try this remedy with success in fact We
have never known it to fail. The cord
ipgs stops the circulation, and thus the
sore has nothing to feed on, and soor
dies of starvation. We have faith in tbi
remedy. even after felon has mad,

Moderate drinking tends to Drunkenness.


1t has been asked whether when largely
diluted with water, alcohol may not tie rem
nered harmless, if not salutary? The
reply unhesitatingly is, no And even
were it otherwise, who could promise to ad
here to the standard in other words, who
can say of himself-next year, and the fol-
lowing one, and for long series of years,
] will content myself with grog of the same
strength and of the same quantity as | take
this year? To say this with truth, would
be to say that man who drinks ardent
spirits will not at any time be druLkald.
Every man who begins to drink, sets out
with this resolve. But is it kept ? Ask

THE RUMSELLER's GUILT.

We shudder when we take up the NOR
ming papers and find there recorded the
bloody deeds of murder TO which the dark
ness of the night had given birth. When
man, in tempest Of fury and madness,
thrusts the fatal blade to the heart of bis
fellow, the same blade starts quick throb
pf terror in our hearts also. Nevertheless.
we who are thus affected by their crimes can
walk the streets of our great cities, which
are studded with human-slaughter houses,
with, We had almost said, perfect indifTer-
ence. In the daily walks of business, we
pass those places which We knoao to be
wholesale destroyers of body and soul, with
out turning our minds, fora single instant,
from the ordinary channel of It's thoughts
and cares. Why this indifference? 1t is
not for want Of knowledge. The facts in
either case are plainly manifest. Fe kRo,e
that thepoison performs its work as surely
as the steel. Both murder-the latter
quickly, The former slowly and slyly. We
are shocked in all the sensibiiities Of our
nature by the sudden enormity Of the deed
of violence; while the mind, true to the
laws Of its government becomes Injured to
