upon her audiences, who never tire of listening.

Lawrence, roughkeepsie, Brooklyn, Hartford,
Utica, New Haven, Milwaukee and other
places, have been crowded to their utmost by
eager listeners. Some of our citizens have
literally made themselves responsible for ex.

Her mission is TEMPERANCE, and although able

full delivery, lungent seriousness and earnest
eloquence disarms all opposition to her youth or
sex, and are eminently successful in winning
the young to Total Abstinence.
All who have heard her, acknowledge that
she is totally devoid of the effrontery Of modern
strong minded women; she possesses the innate
modesty of the pure. truthful, WEIGH girl that
she is. Perhaps God, who raised up Deborah
and Esther to save his people of old, and sent
the little maid to the house Of Naaman, has
sent this Cambrian daughter to aid in the cause
of Temperance in this country; especially
might she be useful in McGREcoR. Knowing
the trials and sorrows of a drunkards child in
her own experience, she can give truthful tale
for others. Probably her history is the key to
her power. It is abused humanity asserting
its right to moral rectitude. The fact that she
has held crowded lecture rooms, with hundreds
standing, and all without WEAKNESS, attests her
great talent. She is no precocious child or
prodigy. but fair Temperance star. Her soft,
sweet, pleasant voice attracts and fastens atten.
ton as it rppes on, aided by her girish gestures
and occasionally impassioned tones. Hiss
