nEgn In a recent edition of The Dali
LY MONITOR the writer graphically de-
scribed some of the effects of the re-
markable temperance revival which q
gracious Providence vouchsafed the
people of the First and Second wards.
especially those connected with ST.
Patrick's parish. The marvellous
change in the habits of a multitude is
in n large measure due to the faithful
teaching of Rev Mr.. Hennessy, whose
praise is on the lips of all who are ia
miliar with his virtues. TWAS stated that
his parishioners' sobriety had enabled
them to contribute to the support of
the church, and maintain excellent
schools for the instruction of their chill
dren. Their tables, it was said, were
crowned with plenty, their homes
beautifed, their families made glad. A
virtuous community is always prosper
Gus and happy. That the sketch was
faithful, the writer has assurance which
amply confirms his personal observa-
ton. The people of st. Patrick's par
ish are entitled to the respect of their
fellow citizens. Their industry, their
frugality, their regard for their clergy
and teachers. their eagerness to acquire
useful knowledge, are traits which COM
mand our esteem.
But with all their good qualities, our
friends in the lower wards are not per-
feet. The mill nnium has not yet dawn
ed. The gorgeous painting is rarely
untarnished by a blot. Our magnif-
cent sunsets are sometimes marred by
heavy clouds, which betoken impend-
ing tempest.
There is one serious drawback to the
comfort of our friends at the Port. 1t
excites surprise that community SO
noted for its evidences of thrift should
allow it's streets to swarm with domes-
tic animals. We laugh at the antics OF
the children who gather in groups
around their cottages, happy as CLANS
ut high tide. They appeal to our sym
pathy when Fortune frowns, and We
rejoice in their prosperity. But the
multitudinous goats, pigs, COWS, geese,
and other "birds," which defile the
sidewalks and obstruct the passage OF
pedestrians, are decidedly out of place
Great as these evils undoubtedly are,
they are trivial compared with the suf
fering which always results from keep.
