pile of boxes, distributing funds to a
Sunday School Committee. Our bust

The GRAVES OF FAMILY AND FRIEND DIS
We see suggestion in the Glen Cove
IN. 7. Gazette, by correspondent
that meets with our appreciation, and
doubtless will be responded to by all
our readers as worthy to be adopted
1t is this: 'fTo spend a couple Of hours,
say in May and july, in looking over,
cleaning, and, if we choose, decorating
the graves of our parents. brothers, sis-
tiers, and dear friends, who are buried
in cur midst = The example
once set, our children or friends, per-
hape, In future years, would feel stimu-
lated to keep up the practice, and the
graveyard would bloom and blossom
and look pleasant, instead of being ov.
errnn by weeds and bramhles.' .

THE AGED VETERANS

JoHN ARD DEMIJoHN. I'VE received q
copy or Temperance work with the
above title from the author, HENRY
Horr, just published at Boston, Mass,
price $3.50. This is readable book
full OF instruction, doctrine and reproof,
and should be particularly read, and its
lessons indelibly impressed on the brain
of every one. The ruin to health, to
morals and to all material prosperity by
alcoholic drinks, is absolutely appalling
to every consideratc mind. The aid of
legislation is invoked and still drinking
goes on. The causes Of intemperance
are too deeply seated to be rooted out
in day, by penalties end legal re-
straints, though they are essential helps
in removing temptation. Back to the
cradle and the teachings of the mother
we must look for the implantihg of the
principles which alone, under God, will
gives correct manhood. A specimen
copy can be seen at the Palladium Of
flee, opposite Barnes Grocery. The
work has over 400 pages, and 13 illus.

The Indians of Alaska are about to

The gentleman proceeds to our new ter.
ritory under commission issued by
the Secretary of the Interior. Mr.. COL
yer is an advocate of peaceful measures
toward the aborigines he is sincere in
his views, and his report on the Indians
of Alaska, if not practicable in all its
features, will be certain to prove high
ly interesting. Our store of knowledge
concerning the country he is about to
visit is so scant that any reliable addi-
tons thereto will be heartily welcomed.
We trust, therefore, that Mr.. Colyer
will observe the climate and resourc es
of the new territory, and report on them
as well as on the condition Of the Indi-
ans.-[Laf. Courier.
