Why u il, inquired the speaker, that ,ne ~ofid Il

fall into evil habits and at last snk into dishonored

family. There II no man 90 vile-no human
being 70 degraded-no villain 80 utterly deprsved
as TO be wholly and irrecoverably lost. There
is some faint spark Of humanity which may
be- famed by the breath Of kindness into new
and better life. Tho drrpkard, however low he may
have sunk be reached and reclaimed. When
he is sober, appeal To bis manhood when ne has rea

awake. turn biz thoughts backward 10 earlier and
happier scenes; snd yet not yonr voice betrsy scorn
OF contempt, hatred, for the poor wreck OF man
hood before you: and by all means assure him that he
has true ard hearty friends ready To greet him and
welcome his Tet9rn 10 sobriety, vatue and noble
life.
The efficacy of the doctrine Of kindness thor
oughly demonstrated by Nrs Britt in the course Of
her speech. When her voice first heard several
hundred Of the worst character Of rowdie- swarned
about the carriage in which she standing bowling
and blasphening ike 30 many demons, and evidently
intent driving her from the ground. But the voice
Of the speaker finn. though musical, and fell with
paeifying potency upon the ears OF the rutiians
Then che assured them that they were not in the
blame for the distGTbaBce-it was wrongly orea-
nized society They were only giving vent to
tie freedom Of their young hearts. She had per-
feet fdence that they would yield 10 her their
attention. since she kindly and affrctionately
invited them 10 hear her speak. And that conf
dence was TO. misplaced The confusion ceased
al once and almost perfect silence reigned during
the hour Mr.. Il. addressing the Convention. H.
deed the speaker proved herself an orator Of rare
power and accom- lishment. She gave vivid and
most startling picture of the deahstrugse a. II seems
TO those whose finite visions extend only To the deep
gloom that hangs over the waters of mortality. Tnis
picture followed by glowing view Of angel-lfe-
Of sweet fields beyond the swelling food where flowers
Of immortal beauty bloom, and perish not throughout
all the bright day Of celestial eternity.
Mrs. Brtts speech, saying nothing Of the sentiment
eIpressed-and even that lot very censurable
was far eloquent and impressive than any other
feminine address TO which ever listened. The thou
sands who heard i lavish in their expressions Of
qualification. Several ladies with stre aiming
ewes thank the orator and yield assent TO the sent
nients and opinions advanced.
Following Mrs.. BIS speech, statement was made
Of the plan OF the harmonial city According 10 that
statement costly temple il 10 be reared; colleges
seInnaries and churches are 20 be erected dwellings
and other buildings be constructed and then Is
10 be done whatever is necessary tn complete popu-
lous wealthy prosperous, magnificent and harmonial
city. This enterprise il already begun. II. A.. 8.
