Few people have any idea of the amount
ofgoOd which may be accomplished by
small effort, and it is almost, if not quite
impossible to realize the benefits conferred
upon mankind by those who preach and
practice temperance--the latter more es-
pecially. Daily, almost, we see families
made happy; homes once desolate made
comfortable and joyful; children, formerly
ragged and dirty, spurned shunned and
pitied BY children of their age, now clean
and tidy, and full of glee; but who can tell
where these distinguishes good effects o {
temperance organizatiens-Eill end?
These remarks were called forth by at
tending, ON Sunday evening last, the FIRST
annual meeting Of st. Josephs Total Alb
stinence Society, where we met about one
hundred sturdy men, representing all con-
ditions of life--the merchant and me.

This is yet young society, having been
organized less than one year, but the mem

brief period. To show what progress they
have made, we cannot do better than ex'
tract few items from the SecreLary's
annual report.

crept back again over his face as he

told me to bring up Morgan D. Smith s

Wr. Bonner's New Colt-An Unequaled
Performance.

from the New York Sun, Nov. 9Th
We stated several weeks ago that Mr..
Bonner had a very extraordinary colt in
training in the country. A few days
since this colt was brought home to Mr..
Bonner's stables in the city; and yester-
day be made two performances nerer
before equaled-scarcely approached-
by any horse of his age. The colt is
FIVE years old. About 2 o'clock in the
afternoon be was driven over, to road
wagon, seven miles, to the Fashion
Course on Long Island. After his ar
rival there, Mr.. Bonner drove him to
his road wagon-the wagon and driver
weighing 3I2 pounds--a halt mile in
l:ll4; the second quarter mile of this
half in SAB seconds, being 2:lS gait
to road wagon.
Then :he colt was harnessed TO
sulky, and John Murphy drove him
mile in 2:l95; the first half of the mile
in 1:IOI, and the second in 1:094. He
was timed by Mr.. Humphrey, Mr. Sim
mon, Mr.. Borst, the trainer, and others.
The colt is a grandson Of HANDLE
tonian, and is out of high bred Ken
lucky mare, which gives him his great
endurance. He is blood bay, about
l5I hands high, and with majestic,
strong way of going. His nusculer de-
velopmeut is so extraordinary as to ar.
rest the eye at once. The attention of
horsemen was attracted to this colt last
Fall, when he trotted a mile in 5:33 in
in public, and a mile in private in 2:304
But horsemen were all afraid to pur-
chase him, on account of his being over
in the knees. which he inherited from
his sire. Mr.. Bonner, however. from
his more thorough scientific knowledge
of the norse's foot, and of the art of
shoeing, felt confident that he could
remedy this. and purchased the colt for
Sl0,O How successful bis treatment
has been, the performances of yester-
day best attest. The present Fashion
Course is a slow one, and this colts |
time was the fastest by three seconds
ever made on i, by any horse of any
age.

4 MALAY FUNERAL IN NEW ORLEANS.
In the lower portion of the city are a
few families of Mslays. By what cir
cumstances they ever removed to there
is not known, bu, they preserve the
customs and semi-barbarous superstl-
tions that have distinguished their
people and country. They bury their
dead at night, and, like the American
Indians, slaughter upon the grave some
animal the deceased loved in life. Sat.
urday afternoon young girl died on
Barracks street, and was buried Sunday
night; in the old cemetery on Genti!ity
road. There being no priest of their re-
ligion there, the ceremony was per
formed by the Oldest man of their coun-
try residing amongst them. He was
clad in a dark black robe, and pre-.
ceded on foot, the cortege which con-
veyed the remains to the grave. Arriv-
ing there the tomb was anointed and a
fish and some cake placed in the vault.
This was accompanied by ceremony
at once solemn and impressive. This
over, bird was killed and laid on the
breast of the deceased, whilst all the
friends and relatives passing BY the
coffin, each one laying their hand on
the head, and saying in their native
tongue tie simple word Farewell ~
No tears were shed. They do not view
the transition of the soul an occasion of
grief. The solemn parting is but tenn
porary separation, and the resignation
they NANTES. affords an example Chris
tians might well conclude to initiate.
The ceremonial over, the family re-
turred home accompanied by their i'm
mediate friends, and fruit, and wine,
is given to each in the name of the dead.
By it they promise to preserve their con-
stancy to each other, and by their love
for them perpe,uate their friendship,
Altogether it is an impressive ceremony,
solemn and loving, as the memory of
the dead should be.
