Ala meeting in New York. Hen
w Ward Beecher was called out,
and n sketch of his remarks is thus
oiven IN the New York Tribune:
people fear the effect upon the
family if women should vote and
tbink, They think that the tender
ness and sweetness of the family
relation has something to do with
weakness. 1t has much to do with
fineness. hut not with weak, ess.-
I'll is not the fact of woman's look
ing ND to man that pleases hint

know what Solomon said of a wo-
man without thought, and he sure
lv ouoht to know-he had seven
hundred wives. If the question of
Woman's Rights is to be determin-
ed by Quoting the Old Testament,
II have bnt a word to say; it is the
last question which ought to be de-
cided for us by an ancient Semitic
nation and a king who had seven
hundred wives. A greater free.

entails everywhere have to day, and

HIsroRY OF A DUTon CHURCH "A
new Reformed (DutcIl) church was
recently dedicated at Grand Haven,
Mich The Union Of that place
says; The history of this church
is an interesting one. The first
settlers from Holland came to this
city in 1S47, Subsequently, when
Domino Van Raalte came from
the Holland colony TO visit the lit
tie church, he urged them to build
a place Of worship, such as they
could, even ifvery small and rough.
This was no light undertaking, for
every man Of them was lahoring
man, and probably not one of them
earned over SlS a month. This
must support d family and give
them home. But they determin-
ed to have a house for Gods wor-
ship. In those days lumber was
very low, and culls scarcely worth
saving. Quantities of Gull lumber
were showed in the water to get RID
of it. This little handful OF ener,
getic men, not one Of them car
penter, and unable to buy lumber,
turned ont with such old boats as
they could muster, and picked up
these rejected culls. With such
material, they constructed a place
of meeting-one story, II by "a
feet on the ground--of ofrough boards
and beuches of the same for seats,
They had as yet no stated minister
but they maintained regular ser
vices every Sabbath. If a minister
came along, he preached If not
an elder read a sermon. The con
gregation prospered, and last yoaI
/ laid the corner stone of the plaln
but substantial church they have
now completed t'

If intemperance leads to poverty,
crime and premature death, then is
intemperance A great evil ? That it
does thus lead, 10 sane man will
honestly attempt 10 deny. The
confirmed drunkard is not made so
in a few months, perhaps not for
many years: hut continued tam
pcring with alcoholic beverages, in
time accomplishes his ruin. The
appetite for stimulating drink is
almost universally formed in early
life, growing with life's growth and
strengthening with its weakness.
From twelve to twenty one, the nine
wears wherein the boy developes
/ into the man, is the critical time.
Safely past this period without
having tasted stimulating drink,
after that, temptation will readily be
resisted. Few drunkards will be
| found who never tasted the beyer-
/ age that led to it until after they
attined their majority.
That is manifestly the dictate of
sound policy, an imperative duty,
that experienced age secure all
possible safeguards for the benefit
of inexperienced youth. Then is the
LEGISLATION wise, that has for its
object the suppression Of places
where ale, beer. porter, &c, are sold
thereby tempting the formation o.
ruinous habits in boys, who in ;
few wears will be men on whom viii
rest the management of the grea
nation.
Then with no vindictive or un
kind feeling toward the vender OF
drinker, let all right feeling people
resolve, d. firmly hold that resolve
to its work by their morals and re.
Iligious sentiment, that all laws ant
ordinances, have for their object tbs
suppression of the demoralizins
places be readily enforced. Their
always has been a conflict betweel
right and wrong. There of neces
sity will be until vice is eradicated
unless we become so corrupt, 81
besotted, as no longer to perceive
where moral principle leads, so con
fused as no longer to be wrong.
The history Of our past is almos
a guarantee that such will not b.
our future. A moral and religious
sentiment that fought to its deatl
such an institution as United States
human chattelism, will not rest sat
isfed until minor wrongs are cor
Irected. Will parents and guardian

There is, really, nothing more vex-

floors, and as soon as dried, have
a man or small army of men or
boys, come stalking in with muddy
boots and upset all the labors Of
cleanliness. You men need not
wonder that women scold, and fol
low YOU around with a house cloth
or mop, If you never expect to
do another act in your life, clean
your boots well before entering a
clean apartment. Don't expect to

Of paving the ashes out on the

When Pharaoh was disposed
to let Israel go, he still would re-
tain their focks and herds as a
pledge of their return. So when
Satan can no longer hold the sin
ner i'll his service, he will, if posi-
BILE, exact some pledge of his re-
turn, or fasten to him some invisi-
BILE cord by which to draw him
back again. Wise are they who,

hoof shall be left behind"
