For the Spirit of the Age.

MR EDITOR II am truly anxious to do
something for the male youths of my county.
The Grand Division of the State, in creating
Subordinate Divisions and scattering them
all mp and down the county wherever they
eau he raised, has made ample provis-
ion to meet the necessities OF the grown up
young men but what IS it now doing for
the little boys among us who are from 8 to
10 years Ofase? This class of human beings,
in my opinion, are, at that ace, passing
through the most critical period of their
lives-a period which forms their habits
whether temperate or otherwise, and thrusts
them forth upon human society, to bless or
curse mankind. And yet, | ask, what are
we doing in the Divisions to save them from
drunkenness ? We once had Sections of Ca
diets, but where are they now If any still
exist, | acknowledge my ignorance of the
fact. Now, Mr.. Editor, my design IN this
communication is to bring the matter before
the members Of the Grand and Subordinate
Divisions. and to awaken if possible more in
terest upon this subject. We never caa sue
c~essfully contend against intemperance, un-
lcss we m nearer the ground. We
may spend our strength upon young men
and drunkards, but before we can make one
generation sober, the habits and customs OF
the world will force another generation Of
drunkards upon our hands from the ranks OF
the little bows. | do hope, Mr.. Editor, that
you vii take some notice Of this matter, and
try to awaken the Grand Division to its duty
And trusting that you will do so, close this
short article.
