The Future Rulers of America.

Time. with his ever busy fingers, is fast
removing the present generation, and ere long
they who now play such busy parts on the
grand stage of life will have passed away, and
their sons will be called on to take Their pla-
ces in the Councils of the Nation, or in the
ranks of lis defenders.
1t is the wish of every true patriot to pre.
serve inyiolate those liberties for which our
fathers SO nobly struggled-for which the
lite-blood of thousands was spilled. Our no.
ble sires, in leaving to US the blessings of
freedom and independence, made US the re-
cipients Of one of the richest boons ever be-
slowed on man; (; and shall it not ever be our.
very first thought to guard well our sacred
trust Then must We prepare the youth of
America for the high duties which, ere long,
they will be called on to perform. We must,
while their minds are young and easily moul-
ded, give them thorough Temperance princi-
pies.
And in what way can this best be done 2
The plan of action is simple and easily exc
cuted: We must have Division of the Sons
Of Temperance in every School and Collegel
That is just what is wanted, and what we
cannot do without, If we would like for COM
plete success. Yes, every institution, design

We repeat, the plan can be easily carried
out {; let those interested in each school look
to the matter, show themselves willing to en-
courage and support it, and all win soon be
accomplished.

their bright hopes, and finally dragged them
down TO dishonored graves How many q
gifted youth, the idol of fond parents, and on
whom they depended for comfort in their de-
Ginning years, has returned home-with
once noble form bowed by excessive indui-
gence in strong drink. and with the fire of

flashing eye-cnly to bring his parents in
SORROW to the grave; and lingering on few
years of dishonored existence, in perfect mis-
cry Of soul and body, he lays himself down
and dies the drunkard's death. These are
solemn facts, which few will not admit

Hannibal, swear eternal warfare against the

THE MORAL WORTH OF TEMPER.
ANCE.

There is virtue in Temperance beyond
the computation of man; one which the pe-
MUS of mathematical science cannot fully
estimate The mind, that could calculate
the value of it, must be one, that cannot on
ly call to its aid the numerous statistics of
the past. and sum them with those of the
present but it must be one which can look
into the future and fathom the iufinity of
Eternity; for there only can he learn the
true worth of this virtue there only is II
fully developed But we believe if man will
make that calculation of it which the nresent
age will enable him, be may arrive at such
an estimation as will constrain him to admit
the inexhaustible value of this virtue. let
him take the observations of the present as a
basis of computation, and soon he NAV see
its value exceeds, by far, that of the richest
jewels and pearls of earth. As we must
have some criterion by which to Judge the
many benefits Of Temperance, let US look AT
the evils of lntemperance. Let us look as
she impresses her ruthless SWAY upon the
blooming cheek of the youth flushed with
fond hopes and bright anticipations of the
future; how she destroys young and vigorous
| minds; how she causes the tumbling of clods
into the untimely gave and strikes sorrow
and grief to the heart Of the Der, # associates.

and stiffness of the sepulchre to learn the
curses OF lntemper,nce. We have only to

PREcEPr AND PRAcTIcE-In one Of the Bal
timore schools the boys were realing from one
OF their class books story Of noble revenge.
1t told of two lads, Phiip and Robert, Of very
opposite characters. The first was kind and
forgiving, while the other was irritable and
selfish. Philip was walking out one day,
carrying in his hand a cane, present from
his father, which accidentally falling from his
hand, fell upon q pitcher f3llsd with water
belonging to Robert who, not listening to
Philips apology, seized the cane and broke
it in pieces. Little Philip, instead of resent
ing the injury, passed on. Some time after
this Philip found Robert lying beneath hea-
w log which, by some means, had fallen on
him. Young Philip very kindly lifted the
log from his old enemy, and assisted him up;
thus returning good for esil.
Now said the teacher, see, boys, what
noble little fellow Philip must have been -
What would you do, Johnnie asked the
teacher of brighteyed little fellow who
seemed interested in the story, were YOU 20

You may see man dressed in the extreme
OF fashion to whom the imputation of a drunk

be wiped out by the blood of one of the par

Parlor drinking is one element of fashion.

Some time since it was customary to seek
consolation in the bottle when death took
place. And in almost every case the place
OF mourning was turned to room Of drunk

foaming of champagne from broken necks
were the only tears shed, and some humor

But strange to say, there are no drunkards
found at either weddings, funerals, or visit

more than all else, there was Hubert beside
her. eager to point out each object of interest,

Then as they sailed upon the calm and Sc

glory not all departed, where love, the Gun

each beauteous flower, sparkling in each ray
of sunlight, and especially burning forth in
the soft and silyery light Of the Italian Moon.
That beauteous land where painters love to
dwell, and poets breathe inspiration from eve
ry breath OF air. He spoke softly, eloquent
ly of this glorious land, now struggling for
its former freedom-of the sea of Venice, and
the city itself, place SO surrounded with
romance, and always comparing each with
