French CONFECTIONERY BY THE
AMERICAN TRACT SOCIETY.

The American Tract Society, we observe. has
opened department of French Confectionery.-
This new banch of evangelical labor deserves q
word of notice. The Tract House in Nassau street,
as some OF city readers may know, embraces
four eligible stores one of which is occupied by
the Society itself. as a depository and salesroom,
while the three others are annually rented, and
yield handsome revenue to the Society's Treasury
One of these stores has just been rented by the Of
foers of the Society. and is now open as a liquor
shop, under the name of French Confectionery
We seldom go into the depository, and have never
been into the confectionery but we learn thing
two from the advertisements in both windows
Printed bills, on one side, show us "wbat, Evan
gelical Christians approve" and printed cards, on
the other side show what we presume Evapge-
ical Christians relish;-for there are Evangelical
Christians who "relish"what .hey on't''approve."
On the one side We have evangelical tracts, and on
the other evangelical liquors. On the one side we
see advertised, "Bible arguments for Temperance;"
and on the other. Choice Wines, Liquors and Ci-
gars;" in one window, Kittredge's Address on the
Effects of Ardent Spirits" and in the other, the
French Cofectioners invitation first totry the spir
ils" and then see what the "effects" are In one
store the Society exhibits "The Manufacture of
Ardent Spirits" and in the other it carries on the
vending of the same. We see on the right hand,
''Sewall against Intemperance," and on the left
we might see the same Sewall bender, On
the one side are the debates of Conscience on the
use of Ardent Spirits" and on the other, we see
alleges, "Four Reasons against the Use of Alcho-
holic Liquors." which the other window explains
to mean first "Schedam Schnapps" second Lem
onade with Sticks" third, "London Cordial" and
fourth, "Brandy Gum Drops" On the one hand,
like writing on the wall, We see "The Rewards Of
Drunkenness" and on the other the Interpretation
thereof, which is fat annual rents from confecton-
airy dramshops. From side we hear warn
ing "Sign the Pledge" and from the other an in.
vitation to "gin-slings". In one ear we hear "Set
Down that GLASS;" and in the other "Philadephia
lager beer:" in one ear Don't Unchain the
Tiger" and in the other pheasant Summer
Drinks" On one side the Tract Society announce
zone Glass More" and on the other they 90 in
and take it.
But there other tracts on other subjects, in
, the Tract Societys window. For instance, there
is one "a Strange Thing" and there is another
"Will it Ever be Known?" Then there is also
"Tho Bold Blasphemer," and a companions piece
''fhe Necessity of Repentance"
In addition to the above there are two other con-
spicIous tracts, one Of which, the Tract
Society itself should read without delay, while
the other should be given to its French con-
fectioner; they are"The Fatal Mistake" and ITO
a Retailer in Ardent Spirits" In .he mean
time perhaps there is noed of another "Com-
mittee of Investigation" to inquire into the consti
tutionality Of the new Office of French Confection
er to the American Tract Society
