A Hearty Welcome.

Right gladly do we greet the old warrior
"IRe Wisconsin Chief"-in full dress from
moccasin to plume, as he treads the war path
again. Long has he battled in the aus OF
humanity, and many a bleeding scalp has he
torn from the heads of the whiskeyites.-
Bloody revenge, even to determination, was
sworn against him, and for a time the enemy
thought the crushing-out system had pre-
vailed. But we are glad to see that 1.-THE fur
mace of his trial, long heatedand fercely glow
ing, has proved but q fountain of youthF-
The Chief is ASa@gRSdfd-water Army-and the,
are hated accordingly. Long may they liv
to do service in the cause 50 dear to thei
hearts. Go Right On gallant "Chief,
and be assured God wiU prosper the right!

A Mother is the moral guide and instructor
of the human race and her duties are even
more responsible than those of the Father
She writes the first impression upon the hui
man mind. She shapes the character of the
man and woman, and starts them on a career
that will either lead to honor or shame. hap
piness or destruction. She catches the first
accents which fall from the infants lips. She
is the first to discover when disease has taken
hold, and feel with a deep and sympathizing
heart the means and groans of the helpless
little one. She is the first to bow before God
and ask him to spare and restore her most
precious jewel to health. Yes, she will sit. at
the hour of midnight, by the little sufferer.
and watch it while it is tossing its diseased
form from side to side.
All . mothers heart can and will feel
when oil others are as hard as adamantine.-
A mother viii cling to her Maynard son or
daughter, who has stepped from the path of
rectitude, when all others forsake.
Woman ought, therefore, to be fitted bv
education, for the field wherein God desire1
her to labor and be useful. It would tend t.
make her sympath;es still softer. Her mind
ought to be stored with useful knowledge. An
it's she who makes the first and last impress
sion upon the human mind. May God has
ten the time when the female shall be edu-
Gated, mentally, morally and religiously,
throughout the world. EILLAS G.

The Worm at the Root.

The LAND groans under a pressure OF ahNr
ETY., as if the signs of the times portended
dread calamity. Evil and ruin-hke
starved ghosts-come stalking into every
door, and the social and political state
is in commotion. Long-nosed seers, in green
spectacles, shake their heads and tell as II
this and that thing is not done, destruction is
sure to come. Politicians wire around and
point North or South to the coming storm.
Misery stockholders on Change, who meas
ure everything by the state of the funds, speak
of a crisis yet to fall on US. Some men as
sure us, thatthe life of the nation depends
upon ad c~a1oren and old women sigh over
| the thousand and one tragedies which are 70
follow upon the heels of Harper's Ferry
But reader, the worm-the real worm at the
root of our national tree, which despoils it'
fruit-which causes its leaves to fall untlme
ly, and is fast c~orrupting its very heart,-i
hatemperdnce. The nation is drunk. NO
all made drunk by whiskey, it is true, bu
drunk nevertheless. Passion, pride, the lov
of money, the thirst for position and place
and the love of Alcohol, these are the hydr;
heads of the worm that Is gnawing at til
heart of the nation. Sobriety-total abst
nence from alcoholic drinks, is the first gre
step towards a cure. Danish whiskey-ba
ish rum, brandy, wine, all the black ere
from the country-and she is right again.

Saturday Night.

With a large class OF persons all days or
nights are alike. Born to wealth and ease,
or living-as many do without either-as
gentlemen of leisure, they know nothing of
the pleasures or the pains OF labor, and hence,
are incapable of enjoying with a relish an eve
ning's relief from toll and care. Thousands
there are who are doomed to sweat and ache
under the pressure of hard labor from one
years end to the other, without enjoying the
| sweets of rest and recreation, unless they
rob it from Gods day-the happy, cheerful
| Sabbath. Recreation thus obtained is a loss
which is not made up in time or eternity.
But then there are those who from cholc'
and necessity work the livelong week, toilin9
with hand or brain, to whom Saturday nigh
is a boon-a season of rest and quissaeA hap
piness around their own hearth-stonsA nel
who love their wives and children Ieek t
this period with eager interest. 1t Is alnos
the only period during the week when the
lay aside care and anxious thought;-whe
the happy wife can fully unburden herself
the many little amusing or interesting inc
dents of the week; when the father ca
take the little ones upon his knee, and hay
the larger smiling ones seated around to JO
in the cheerful chit-chat. 1t is almost tt
only period when husband and wife, P
rents and children breathe freely-can thro
aside all timidity AMI fear, and when the Ii
c1ocE warns them Il bed. Oh that Gotta,
may be a homely one-no l~uxuries spoil i
i~nmates-patient industry and contentmel
with a little, may be their all-but Saturda
night m and the wearied owner return
sober, quiet and happy, to his cot, to enic
the pleasure and the treasure of his family
be sure he learns the true meaning of tho.

Where is the Christian who does not read
his Bible? We are bold to assert that none
deserving the title neglect it; though to ma
ny who bear the name, the Bible is a sealed
volume. Other books should be read news
papers should be in every family; but the
Bible should be the first book in every chris
tian's house and heart. 1t is the chart TO
Heaven. In its pages 'life and Immortality
are brought to light" 1t is a transcript of the
Divine mind. Read it! love it! "ft is thy
life" And while you read it, study it also.
Many persons road it once every year. In
some publication there is an account of an in
dividual who read his Bible one hundred and
hfty-two times in sixty years. A member of
the Church recently said-'1 have read nv
Bible through in about eight MONTHS "And
how much have you learned of its truths ?'
was the reply to which a heightened color
was the only response. Another earnest

your mind. Thus pass through the histori-

facts as you go, and you willhave, when YOU

Steady Work-Steadv Work.

It is often thrilling to hear of the conquests
and the triumphs of the Temperance cause,
when the well-trained bands have been mar
shalled and the heavy batteries have been
turned loose upon the retreating foe. Then
we feel proud of our success. But how apt
are our forces to go on furlough for q time
after such victories, or to stack their arms on
the field and give up the pursuit. It is just
in that way that the enemy has gathered
strength, and ever and mon returned to the
conflict, oftentimes to the damage of our hosts.
No, friends Of Temperance, such triumpbs
may gladden. our hearts for the time, but
they are not our reliance for the total subiuga-
ton of the enemy. We must have steady
work. Our hosts must be kept in the field,
keeping up a steady charge upon the foe,
wherever he maysbe found.
We rejoice that the Sons are beginning to
understand this. Members of Divisions and
other friends of Temperance must be con-
stantly on the alert. Our Division room
must not be neglected Few may meet, but
let the few toll on and hope on the night of
our Encouragement will soon disappear by
the breaking of the rising day. Live up to
your principles daily-talk Temperance
spread our MISUNDERSTANDING our period
icals, and work steadily for the great end.
