King Solomon's Temple.

This structure for beauty, magnifcence,
and expense, exceeded any building which
was ever erected. It was built with large
stones of white marble, curiously hewn, and
so artfully joined together that they ap-
pearcd like one entire stone. Its inner
walls, beams, posts, doors, floors and CELL
ings were made Of cedar and olive wood,
and planks of fir; which were entirely Gov.
cred with plates ofgold, with various beau
tiful cngrayings, and adorned with precious
jewels of many splendid colours. The nails
which fastened those plates, were also Of
gold, with heads Of curious workmanship.
The roof was of olive wood, covered with
gold; and when the sun shonc thereon, the

Intemperance.

At the present time, when subjects ofvast
Importance are agitating the public, at
large; we should not neglect the evil intcm-
perance is causing in our own communities.
All will admit it to bc an evil and great
evil, both public and private, deserving our
serious thought. We should look at the
baneful influence upon society, and do all IN
our power to arrest its progress. Look ut
our young men, coming up around us with
the marks of this demon, upon them, where
will il end 4? in wretchcdncss and woe, to
many. II brutifes the intellect, and many
have gone down to the grave, despised and
neglected, who might have shown forth as
lights in this world of changes. Some COM
plain of our present law, being too strict in
regard to intemperance. 1t should be even
more stringent. The subject of temperance
appeals strongly to the sympathies. Look
at the many hours made dcsolatc and cheer
less, by the entrance Of theunwelcomc guest

iscn, ragged and cold, clasp their fond, tho
unhappy ones, to their hearts, and breathe
prayers for their future safety from that
which has caused them so much misery, and
pray that the rumseller may receive the just
retribution from an offended God. How
many slceplcss nights, have fond mothers
spent watching for wayward son, who is
beginning the downward course; perhaps
through tho example of men in society, who
use their influence at large, or by the exam.
pie ofa father. Should we not all be care
ful Of the influence we exert in public, and
the example we set? for many there may
be, who will be led by our example either
to do right or wrong. And we all, especial.
ly :" heads of families, should try and exert
those influences which are just, human, and
God-likc. Is it not strange that men who
are in responsible situations, and who can

this otherwise lovely land, poverty, vice and
degradation when they might be excrtinS
a great and good influence, which should
enhance our peace and happiness as a people
and as n nation. But ah,s of such men
there are too many.
The many murders, assaults and Other
crimes of which we daily hear, grow out o
this evil. Intempemncc is the cause of i,
all. 1t stalks abroad at noon:day, sickeninS
the beholder; it prowls about in darkness
"making night hideous;" and the mania,
shricks, and sensual songs and Jests, mingled
with horrid curses, float upon the night air
telling in sad language the state ofour com
munitics, under the poisoning influences o
Rum. Should we not look to it? should W,
not act? Let us take hold with determine

has gained; the people demand it, and "th'

haps we could not pursue tho same coursc
with the nme results; but thcrc arc direc-
tions which be equally rs beneficial. Five
millions of dollars In q railroad from here,
would bc poor Investment; but ono half
of that amount In manufactures Of different
kinds, would mako us tho equal of Portland.

Portland commenced tho Atlantic Railroad,

Then they had population Of ID, 900 a val
uation of s5,OOO,OOO; they were about
equal to Nowburyport now, having 1000
more people but 5000, 900 less property.
The road was seven years in building, and
during that time they invested $500 40
in ths cntefprisc, or SONS Sio0, 200 moro
than the whole city was worth. There is
not such another instance Of public spirit
on record. The impetus given by this op-
Grafton was such, that when the first train
came through, they had increased popula-
ton so per cent, or to $4,000, and the val
uation had almost quadrupled, 1885,
6l2; and still they moved onward 50 that
in three years from the completion they
have a population of 1000, and valua-
ton of moro than 10000, 900, and bid
fair shortly to become the second city in
New England, with the possibility at some
future period Of being the first. They are
now connected by the best roads in the land,
managed by the heaviest capitalists, with
Canada and tho West, and hence IN actual
advantage thereby over Boston and New
York; and next year thcy will have line
of steamboats, surprising any other.
So much has Portland gained by using
all the capital and credit they had for their
own benefit there arc old towns that could
increase their population to 10000 and their
valuation to 2O,OOO,OOO, If they would in
vest at home, tho capital that they now
have in railroads and banks and other cor
porations out of town and out Of the State.
The same persons are the holders Of real es-
tate wharves, lands, stores and houses,
which would be worth four times what they
are.now, in one year from date, If they
would invest that same capital, where their
real estate is. IfNewburyport has half
million dollars abroad, that same half mil
lion would increase the valuation millions,
ifactively employed here. We sometimes
hear of the losses from these home enter
prises but in the last ten years they have
lost four times as much by failures and poor
Investments abroad, as their books would
any day prove. Is not the example of Port
land worthy of consideration -Neeturyporf
