TEMPERANCE AND PAuPERs.

About thirty years ago, few citizens
of New Braintree, in Massachusetts, met
together and resolved that the best in
terests of she town required . tavern in
which spirituous liquors should not be
sold, IS the fact was patent to oil that
too many of the young men in the place
would congregate at the "vilIage iBn,"
and were forming habits Of social drink
ing. After talking over The lnportance
of the matter, and satisfying themselves
that the enterprise they proposed would
not prove paying one, they subscrib
ed some 1000, built hotel, furnished
il, engaged > landlord to run is free Of
rent Soon after this REFORM the peo-
pie of the town came to the conclusion
that it was Improbable business TO farm
out the poor of the town, AS had long
been the practice, to the lowest bidder
and ut town meeting they voted to buy
poor house farm, md put the poor Mt
work. This was carried into effect
Twenty-Five years have passed away,
and, going to that quiet thrifty town not
long ago, the stage-tlriver said to Us. on

the pith Of the matter differences in
the spending of money made differences

The American of tender years and

that the interest in the coming exhibi.

they will not only feel like going to the
