Temperance in Earnest.

There is in progress in Enfield, n H., a
temperance reformation which deserves spc.
cial notice. Its origin was remarkable. No
unusual interest had been felt on the subject
among the friends of Temperance, and no
efforts had been made by them. The first
movement was made by an habitual drunkard
who had twice suffered the horrors of deliriup
tremeRs. He resolved that he would drink
no more, and went at once to the rumselleI
of the village who had kept secret bar foI
his miserable customers, and induced him tC
Join in the enterprise These two men went
to the clergyman and asked for the appoint.
ment Of temperance meeting, and expressed
their determination to keep the pledge The
meeting was appointed and well attended
The interest awakened was intense, and all
classes came forward to aid and encourage
the hopeful reformation. The bar which had
fed the miserable inebriates of the village
and made wretched their homes, on week day,
and on the Sabbath, was now closed and its
keeper among the foremost to exhort his
neighbors to be sober Two barrels of ale
which had been ordered having arrived 10,
late, were sent back to the city. The old
men and the young men who had fallen vie
Tins to the fell destroyer, had now escaped
his grasp, and walked erect, sober and salts
fed. The Sabbath found them, not as before
in drunken revelry in the dram-shop, but il
the House of God. Weekly temperance
meetings have been held, conducted for the
most part by themselves, which have beer
very fully attended and very interesting The
village is represented as cleared of the nui
sance, rum-selling and rum-drinking, as o
consequence of this movement.
Your correspondent was invited, last Tues
day evening to address this meeting, and he
found church well filed with attentive
and enthusiastic hearers. Two hundred and
twenty had signed the pledge, and all seemed
determined and happy in their noble work.
Are there not many towns in Vermont
which need such reformation And what
other village blacksmith will lead the way

this country-a cause than which none more holy

our readers saw, in recent number of the At

James Parton. The interest excited by that ar.

The Soldier and the Thistle.

Little Minnie in her eagerness after flowers,
wounded her hand on a sharp prickly thistle
This made her cry with pain at first, and pout
with vexation afterward.
wish there were no such thing as
thistle in the world" she said pettishly.
Aud yet the Scottish nation think so
much Of II they engrave it on the national
arms" said mother.
1t is the last flower | should pick out"
said Minnie. " am sure they might have
found great many nicer ones, even among
the weeds
But the thistle did them good service
once, said mother " they learned to esteem
it very highly. One time the Danes invaded
Scotland, and they prepared to make a night
attack upon sleeping garrison. So they
crept along barefooted as still as possible,
until they were almost up to the spot Just
at that moment barefoot soldier stepped on
a great thistle-the hurt made him utter
sharp, shrill cry Of pain. The sound awoke
the sleepers, and each man sprang to his arms
They fought with great bravery, and the in
yaders were driven back with much loss. So
you see the thistle saved Scotland, and ever
since it has been placed on their seal as their
national bower" Well, never suspected
that so small thing could save nation"
said Minnie thoughtiully.
"God can make use Of small things as well
as great to accomplish his purpose and it is
said that very small circumstances often turn
the tide of battle. In the war of 1912, the
British fleet were sailing in the harbor of New
London aud were asked afterwards why they
did not destroy the town, when they could so
easily have done it.
81 would, replied the commander, " if it
had not been for that formidable long fort
whose guns commanded the harbor.n That
long fort, he learned, was an old rope-walk,
and the many guns were the small windows
on the side.
presume the New London people looked
with new eyes on that old rope-walk after
they learned the good service it had DONE
