~ The juvenile tetotallers, known as the
Cadets of Temperance, turned out quite strong,
in Philadelphia, recently, and parded through
a number of streets. The parade was wit
messed by a great many persons, who took
position along the route over which they
passed. All the boys except those from Ger

white shirts and leather belts, with the name
of the section upon them. The display was
a very creditable one, andshowed plainly that
the boys are fully alive to the Importance of
the temperance cause.

own, or spend other peoples, which mean tn
same thing.
