Temperance Golnnl!1.
THE NEW RITUAL.

At the late session of the National Dvis-
ion, a revised, or we may say new Rtual
was adopted for Subordinate Divisions. This
movement was occosioned by the very great
dissatisfaction of the Order with the Ritual
adopted some three or four years ago. The
one now adopted embraces chiefly the origi-
ginal Ritual of the Order, with the most
beautiful portions of the last, and few new
features. \ letter from P. G.. W. P. Ster-
ling, who was one of our Representatives at
the recent session of the N. d., says: "In
regard to the Ritual, we found neither the
old, nor the one now in usc, met the wishes
of majority of the order throughout our
jurisdiction. The ozd, of the two, was the
most popular, but still most of its friends
thought it needed Improvement The com
mittee on the Ritual appointed by the last
N. D., made their report of a new Ritual,
taking the old as the basis and substituting
such parts of the new as were deemed particu
ulary beautiful or appropriate. do not
know how it will work, but I think it better
than either of the other two, and such SEEM
ed to be the opinion of most of the brethren.
1t is almost too long, but large liberty is CIV
en- to Subordinate Divisions to omit parts.
1t is the only Ritual that will be printed
hereafter, by the NJ. W. S., and he has few
or none of the others on hand think you
will be pleased with the present work. 1t is
not intended to force Divisions already sup
piled with Blue Books, to purchase the new
at once. This was judged to be too heavy a
tax, and therefore its immediate adoption is
not imperative.
"It was the testimony of every old men,
Der of the N. D. I have heard speak on the
subject, that they had never attended N.
D. where the spirit of harmony, brotherly
love, snd hopeful, cheerful determination to
work, prevailed to such an extent as the
present. I was not absent half an hour from
the entire sessions, and / did not, in or out
of the Division, hear an unpaternal remark,
an ungenerous insinuation, or unkind allu-
sion to any brother." "-Spirit Of the Age.

"wHAT OF THE SHIP"

We all remember with what anxious soli-
citude, day after day inquiries were made
all over the country, for tidiugs for the ILL.,
fated ships the President, the Pacific, and
others, which, laden with hundreds of pas
sengers, went down into the depths Of the
sea, leaving not single survivor to tell their
melancholy fate. All men .deplored their
loss as public calamity; and hundreds of
private homes were stricken with grief un-
utterable.
1t is not more POLITICALLY than truthfully
said of mankind, we each launch our bark on
the ocean of time, spread our sails and set
our compass for the haven of prosperity and
success. But the briney deep, numerous as
are the gallant crafts that have gone down
to its coral bed, has not half the wrecks that
are found on Humanity's sea. At first they
aoated gaily along
"While hope lent its sunshine and music its song
The skies were clear-a spanking breeze
sent them dancing over the bright waters of
youthful life, and all conspired to promise
success.
But after little, beauty and fashion, hi
larity and mirth caused them to regard life's
voyage as but gay trip cf pleasure. The
wine cup is 6lled-thc bowl introduced
care is flung to the winds and pleasure un-
marred reigns throughout the ship. Soon
the storms of Passion and Appetite begin to
rage, and when the belmsman in terror flies
to his post be finds the ship driving on, and
on, with resistless fury, to the rocks and
whirlpools of certain shipwreck |!
Shall we not warn the young man to be-
ware, before his bark becomes prey to the
storm Shall we not sent out the life boat,
to save even the incbriate for
Smiles may yet play upon brow and on lip,
Ifthe Angel ofTemperance but guides on the ship"

IRISH WIT.

Willis, writing upon scenery in Ireland
gives couple of anecdotes that were brought
out by the driver Of an Irish jaunting car, in
which Mr.. Willis was the only passenger.
a young fellow was seen leading an ass. The
driver addressed him:
"Good morrow, neighbours that your
own?"
"No," replied the boy, "he's my fathers"
uIn troth-I knew he was one of the fami-
ly, for he's the very picture of the ould

at the same time applying the whip vigor

TRAINING A BALKY HORSE.

In India, where horse becomes stubborn
and refuses to move, instead of whipping
him, as is our custom, or setting fire to straw
under the belly, as practised in England, a
rope is attached to his fore leg, and one or
two persons go ahead and pull at the rope.
1t is said this starts the most refractory horse.
The Michigan Farmer says a horse became
balky in Detroit short time since, and nei-
ther whipping or coaxing could make him
STIR A rope was fastened around his neck,
and he was dragged a short distance by
another team, but this did not effect cure.
The rope was taken from his neck, passed
between his legs and fastened firmly to his
TAIL In this manner he was dragged short
distance, and when the rope was taken off,
the hitherto unruly animal was perfectly
obedient to the will of his master. We have
seen this method tried with similar results.

THE HORSE CHARM, OR THE GREAT Sc
cRET FOR TANNING HORSES. The horse cas-
tor is wart or excresence which grows on
every horses fore legs, and generally on the
hind legs. 1t has peculiar rank, musty
smell, and is easily pulled off. The ammoni-
cal effluvia of the horse seems peculiarly to
concentrate in this part, and its very strong
odour has great attraction for all animals, es-
pecially canine, and the horse himself. For
the oil of cumin the horse has an instructive
passion-both are ORIGINAL natives of Arabia,
and when the horse scents the odour he is in
stinctively drawn toward it. The oil or rho
dunn possesses peculiar properties. All ami
mails seem to cherish fondness for it, and it
exercises kind of subduing influence over
them. The directions given for tanning horses
are as follows: Procure some horse-castor and
CRATE it fine. Also get some oil of rhodum
and oil of cumin, and keep tho three sepa-
rate in air-tight bottles. Rub little oil of
cumin upon your hand, and approach the
horse in the field, on the windward side, so
that he can smell the cumin. The horse
will let you come up to him then without
any trouble. Immediately rub your hand
gently on the horses nose, getting little
oil on it. You can then lead him any where.
Give him little of the castor on piece of
loaf sugar, apple, or potato. Put eight
drops of oil of rhodium into lady's silver
thimble. Take the thimble between the
thumb and middle finger of your right hand,
with fore-6nger stopping the mouth of the
thimble, to prevent the oil from running out
whilst you are opening the mouth of the
horse. As soon as you have opened the
horses mouth, tip the thimble over upon
his tongue, and he is your servant He
will follow you like a pet dog

VIDOCQ.

Now that the great French thief-taker is
no more, we are hearing told anew many
of those clever things about him, which
formed the staple of his memories, published
years ago. The following is one of the best
of them, and is fresher than some that are
going the rounds. tits from the Paris cor
respondent of the New York Times:
A rich mercant of Paris went to Vidocq
to consult on deficit of 10000 francs,
which he found on his books. Vidocq de-
manded-
sWhat is the age of your cashier?'
twenty-five. But I am as sure of him
as of myself; be has also been robbed; he is
a victim like myself
sAre you married?'
yes
'How old is your wife {? Is she handsome !?
Is she honest?'
sOh, sir, my wife is virtue itself-honor-
able attached to me, above
Never mind all that; your cashier twenty
five is your wife handsome?'
Since you insist upon knowing, she is
handsome; but
But but! no matter about the butts -
You wish to find your money, don't you, and
you have confidence in me?'
of course I have, since [ am here?
very we'll, then 60 back home, make her
believe that your are going on a journey,
and introduce me into the house.
This was done. The merchant left home,
and Vidocq hid himselfin a closet near the
chamber of the lady. Breakfast was served,
ayoung man was shown in, and was thus ad-
dressed by Madame:
very we'll, Arthur, he is gone, but he sus-
poets us, and we are lost
The rival of Carpenter went over a long
TRADE of love and desolation concluding with
these words:
sOnly one road is left open for us let us
take what remains and embark for
Vidocq stopped out of his concealment,
Tableau!
MY children, be calm, or I'll break both
your heads said Vidocq. we understand
each other, Isuppose? Now, tell me where
is the stolen money?
I'VE have only 100000 francs left repli-
ed the woman.
care you telling the truth?'
oh, swear it,
Very we'll Give it to me- The money
was given over.
sNow, then, let this affair be forgotten;
never speak of it to your husband, and he
shall know nothing. AS for you, sir, give
me your delicate little thumbs He placed
handouts on the gentleman, conducted him
to Harye, put him on ship bound for A
merica, and left him with the French adieu,
GO and hang yourself elsewhere
Vidocq came back to Paris, handed the
100000 francs to the merchant, saying:
your cashier was the thief, but he had
spent $4,000 francs of the money with a
danseuse, embarked him for New York
Afterwards no happier family was ever
known than that of the merchant.

A WIFE IS THE MAIN THING.

Oh I'm poor unlucky wight,
As ever there was born sir,
There's nothing in my house that's right,
'Tis lonely and forlorn, sir.
Pve cash enough to pay it we'll
To keep my house in order,
But I ne'er can get decent meal,
Though plentiful my larder;
IT'S overdene or underdone,
Perhaps not done ut all, sir;
No man had ever such home
In all this weary world, sir
My coat is at the elbows out
Ine'er can get it mended
Ny shirts are scorched in ironing,
My vest to ribbons repded.
My stockings down unto the ground,
ne'er can keep garter;
And if they e'er get washed at all
It's sure in dirty water
There's nothing done that should be done,
And if it's done at all sir,
1t better never had been done,
Than done so very i'll, sir.
Go, get wife-the old man said:
Nor sit here complaining;
OF wedlock never be afraid,
A prudent wife's the main thing;
She'll keep your house, she'll mend your clothes
And chat and sing the while, sir;
And whep, at eve, you hasten home,
She'll meet you with smile, sir;
And oil that's done will be well done
Ard done without complaining;
If e'er you'd have pleasant home,
A wife-a wife's the main thing;
Jack quickly took the sage advice
And wooed q farmers daughter,
And never did he rue the day
When, home, bride he brought her.
His clothes are always clean and neat,
His house is like palace;
His cooking, that king might eat
And do it with relish.
And now he is a happy man,
He never goes complaining;
But with joyous smile declares
A wife-a wifes the main thing.
