The Temple of Honor

To the Ecitor Of the Press:
Will you allow me, through your columns to
endeavor to correct certain misconceptions into
which many have fallen and to reply to nu-
merous questions asked concerning the Order
whose designation stands as the title of this
article?
Two circumstances have led many persons
to confound the Temple of Honor with the
Good Templars, the Sons of Temperance, the
Temperance Watchman and other organiza-
ton Of Similar character: first similarity of
name with the Good Templars-second, the
iact that total abstinanee" is one only one
OF the principles upon which it is founded. 1t
is my first object to correct this impression
the best interests of all the Orders require it.
Let 1t then be understood that the Temple of
Homer is an organization as totally distinct
from the Good Templars or any other Order
designed for the promotion of Temperance as
it is from Masonry or Odd Fellowship. Indeed
it has far more in common with these two lat
ter than with the former. True it requires of
its members total abstinance from all that in
toxicates and seeks, by all honorable means,
the utter and entire annihilation of the sale
and purchase of alcoholic drinks. In so far it
occupies common ground with the distinct
lively Temperance Orders-no farther 1t
teaches that the buuer is guilty ,cith the seller
and it seeks to work that revolution in public
opinion which shall holdboth accountable at the
bar of impartial justice for the vic alton OF civ
il, social aud moral Law entailed by their acts.
1t is, SO far as it works in the Temperance
field, not body of reforming men but of re.
formers and thoroughly reformed. 1t labors
In this field through means peculiar to itself
and best known only to those who stand as
pillars in its Inner Temple. 1t does not and
cannot enter the ground of labor through the
instrumentalties occupied and used by other
Orders
But temperance, iundamen tai and vital as
it is in this Order, is only single stone of the
edifice we seek to erect. Indeed, may say it
is but incidental to the great and paramount
object of our labor. That object is the lorna
ton and perpetuation of Perfect Brother
hood-an institution where the interests of
each Brother shall be identical with the inter-
ests of all and where the interests of all shall
De coincident with the best good of each Broth
er. Each for all and all for each'' is our
motto.
1t is not political organization, nor is it de-
signed or allowed to become an Instrumental
ity for the political advancement and success
OF any men or measures.
Its work is individual and specific, viz, the
cultivation and development in the persons of
its members of those qualities of mind and
heart and in their lives of those purposes and
acts which shall render them Knight Errants
of humanity and virtue, and Templars of FL
deity to the noblest purposes of social and in
dividual life. G.. W.R.

Messrs. Ticknor & Fields, Boston continue
the publication of their excellent autograph
edition of the works of Charles Dickens. Little
Dorrit being the latest issue. There is no edi-
ton Of Dickens works yet published in this
country which in our opinion combines so
many advantages as this. 1t is legibly printed.
OF convenient form, elegant in finish, substan-
tial in binding, its illustrations are the best,
and it is extremely cheap. If this be not list
of merits, what is? The volumes are sold singly
or in sets, and are equally convenient for those
desiring the whole edition, and for those who
only wish to select their favorites. (Receiyed

Lee & Shepard, Boston, have done the young
folks service by the publication of Our Stand
ard Bearer, being an account of the life of
General U. s. Grant, his youth, his manhood
his campaigns and hiseminent services, as seen
and related by Captain Bernard Galigasken
who seems to have been a pretty close atten-
dant on the General from the time OF bis birth,
and who has employed the boys favorite Oliver
Optic 10 write out the story for him. Captain
Galieasken is an enthusiastic admirer of the
General, in whose life there is certainly mate
rial enough for tale more thrilling than any
romance. The book is published in handsom,
style, uniform with Oliver Optics other works,
and is illustrated by Mast. (Received by Bal

Since writing our last we have passed
through Limerick, Cornish, Lining ION, Wind
ham, Raymond, Naples and Bridgton. We
found Limerick village one of the pleasantest
in our State. Located On high ground, it has
an air of freedom truly exhilarating. In COM
ing into the village we noticed beautiful flag

One could tell by the general appearance of
things, before getting near enough to discern
what names were displayed there. After
leaving Limerick we came to
CORNISH
which is another beautiful place located in
York county. We found the citizens here
wide-awake and mostly Republicans, highly
pleased at the Democratic nominations even.

all the arrangements are as systematic and Or

not show pure principles,-inasmuch as there
is a Democratic majority y-abounds in pure
water that Portland is to receive the benefit of
soon. Sebago Pond alone is sufficient to fur
nish the whole United States with water could
it be distributed. Connected with it is Long
Pond nearly as large as Sebago; "Big' and
Little Rattlesnake" ponds, Panther Pond and
numerous others. The water OF Sebago is very
ciear and pure, and when it is fifteen feet
deep 1t looks to be about five. We met at
Raymond MIR. b. l.. Daniorth who intends to
come to Portland and help "move the build
ing" this fall. 1t was at this place that we
learned the locality of certain famous trout
brook visited often by the proprietor of the
Press and concerning which he has been very
mysterious. We had the extreme pleasure of
taking twenty-five very fine trout from this
brook, and had it been possible we should
have sent him few.
