The Temperance Picnic Meet
ing that was advertised to be held
at Mountsville on the 4th, was a
failure, of course. The heavy rains
of that day, the heaviest that has
been in Morgan county for q year,
was the cause. In company with
David Mummey, we started for the
Village before the rain had set in,
and, as we were in for a wettlng
anyway, we concluded to sec
Mountsville at all hazards. We
done SO, and found it to be a very
nice country Village, with inhabIL-
ants who are both sociab!e and hos
pitable. Mountsville has two stores,
a tin-shop, blacksmith's shop, a re-
sident physician, and Church,
and is very pleasantly situated on
the hrgh land of that country
Within the past year, water has
been scarce there, and the great
ram of The 4th was esteem ed by all
AZ q special blessing. Arrangements
had been made for n rousing Temp
erance Meeting there, and had The
weather been propitIous they wo'd
have mad one without do1bt. The
ProhibitlonIsts of Homer township
are at work earnestly aud jealous
ly for the cause, and will give q fine
account of themselves in October.

Prohibition Party

This is comparatively anew par
ty organization. In Ohio 1t has e8-
listed but two years. Whatever else
may be SAID of them, it cannot be
denied that they can lay their hands
on their heart. and sInearely ash
God TO forward the good work
They are striking for universal en-
anciPaulon from the bondage of IN
temperance. They have declared
IN favor OF Prohibition from Maine
to Georgia and from the Atlantic
TO the Pacific. 1T may be that Mr..
Greeley referred to this when he
warned his countrymer to prepare
for another advance.
They have embodied but the one
idea in their platform in order that
political differences and party pres
objections may not estrange men,
They stand upon common ground
whore all men, of whatsoeve- parry,
may meet.
Gideon T. Stewart, of Huron
county, is the standard bearer of
this party, and both Republicans
and Democrats, native aad' foreigd
born. black and white, are at liber-
ty to vote for him, assured that he
is the equal in ability and integrity
of any man on any ticket.-ZaneS.

The TDfamY Of License.

What has been the history of
regulation For moro than two
hundred years, the sale of ~intoxi>
eating liquors has been regulated by
law. Need we point you to the re-
suit The history of the traffic is
u sufficient answer.
Regulate g wrongl The idea is
not more absurd than infamous. 1t
is q foul compromise with inlquIty
"A yokirg ofsaInt and sinner, and
of heaven and hell. The principle
would associate the arch iend with
Deity on the throne Of heaven, ana
ningle The waits of the loaf with
the praises of tho redeemed. 1t
would unite the words of bliss and
woe, and place angels on a footing
With devils. Docs God, in His gov
eminent, recognize such a prInci-
pie? Do His laws regulate theft,
swearing, perjury. murder, &c.?-
Do His reUributIons s1anoer when
So called respectable men trample
upon His laws? Do HIS penaltics
fall without modification upon the
most abandoned, while sinners Of
good moral" character enter in
and dwell at His right hand p
Does he strike hands with iEi9uI>
ty ? Can those who have wealth,
and power, and Responsibility,
transgress His commandments and
go UNPUBLISHED ? Where, IN any
civilized government now existing
OIL earth, is this principle made the
basis of legislation, savsin the leg
al:zation Of the rum traffic? Sup
posing, that the legislature should
iegalIze tie crimes which are now
punishable with death for the rur
pose of restraining them That
they should empower a selection of
good moral men to those
crimes, so as to have the Perpotra
ton legal, moral and rcspectable?-
That men should be selected TO
rob, to steal, TO gamble, to counter
felt, to commit forgery, 10 burn
buildings, to murder B.? Fhe most
common intelligence would revolt
at the damning wickedness, and
treat such legislators as madmeu or
knaves. Yet the license system Is
q creature of legal ehactmeni, and

the crimes which endAnger the

What q Catholic Priest said
10 his HeareFSs

Father Connolly, in st. Bridget's
Church, Jersey. City, a few Sundays
ago, talked to- his congregation in
this out.and-oIt fashion:
81 want you al to understand
that the liquor storeS in this neigh
borhood must be closed or Sunday.
A class of men. who seem TO have
no souls, keep their liquor shops
open on this holy day IN order to
take advantage of the leisure hours
Of the poor; and reap fortunes from
their ruin. Such men would al
most go down to the lower regions
to make money. 4 saw enough
last week in Wayne street TO jussf-
fly these remarks. liquor stores
were open as usual, and filled Ly
poor men who should have been at
home among their families. Re-
member, when L next speak upon
this subject it may not be from the

THOSE who are mourning Vallan-
dIgham's death would do we'll to e4~
anime into the cause thereof
While VallandIgham was a man
that did not drink, a strictly emp
crate man, yet his death can be
traced directly TO Whisky. Jack
Carver, who was indicted with Nc
Gehah Tor the murder of Myers,
says, in speaking of Vallandigham's
death, "Whisky did 1t all. If it had
not been for Whisky, there would
have been nothing of it," That is
to say hat Whisky was the cause
of the row in which Myers was
killed, and tina. if it had not been
for Whisky there would not have
been a row, Myers would not have
been killed, Mcclellan and Carver
would not have been indicted for
killing Myers, and VallaIdigham
would not have been handling u

Of alcoholic beverages, and you

Water I'm the Communion
Service:

Miss Josephine A. Ellery, IN q
speech before the Reform League
Meeting in New YORK, a few weeks
ago; cited the following case of alb
olishing wine from the Communion
Table, by tho UuIversalist church,
Gloucester, Mass:
at appears that the idea of cab
shutting water insteld Of wine for
the communion service was agitat-
ed in the Unlversalist Convention
held in Plymouth IN October, 1870,
and that after some discussion il
was unanimously adopted by the
Gloucester church in february
last. The pastor, Mr.. Eddy, arg
ued that the article used by the Sa-
vior was not fermented wine, but
the Juice of the grape pressed into
the enp at The time, and that water
came as near 1t as the wine now
generally used at Communion. He
also mentioned, as another reason,
paramount with him to every 9TH
er, his objection to the presence of
wine IS a temptation 10 the weak.
One of the best and dearest friends
he ever knew was q reformed
drunkard, though he had not even
suspected the fact. He joined his
church, and to his eternal regret,
his Owl hand passed the WIN that
sent the poor victim to his cups a.
gain, and finally to fill a drunk
ards grave In response to Mr..
Eddy's argument and appeal, with
the affirmation of others that many
were kept from CON munien by the
use OF wine, the Society unanimous
ly resolved henceforth to substitute
water instead"

"a FHD 1T Is one OF ne 70
marksble facts of this remarkable age, not
merely that so many persons are the victims
Of dyspepsia or indigestion. but its willing
victims. Now, We wDuld not be understood
to say that any one regards dyspersa with
favor, or feels disposed to rank it among
the ~luxuries OF life. Far from it. Those
who have experienced its torrents would
scout such an idea. Mark TapIey, who was
jolly under all the trying circumstances in
which he was placed, never had an attack Of
dyspepsia. or his jOllity would have speedi-
" forsaken him. Men and women some
times suffer its tortures uncomplainingly,

A Confirmed Dysptptie :

But it is not our intention to descant on
The horrors of DJspepsis. We have said
that dyspepsia is perhaps the most univer-
sal oil human diseases. This is emphatic
ally the case in the United States. WheTh-
er this general prevalence is due TO the.
character Of the food, the method Of its
preparation, or the hsst5 manner 10 which
it is usually swallowed. is not our province
to explain. The great fact with which re
are called to deal is this :

needed, alike for the relief of struggling
mothers and for the rescue of infants from
premature death.
The New York Founding Asylum is under
the charge Of the Sisters of Charity, and is
supported in part by voluntary contributions,
and in part by the city, which gives one dol
lar week to the support of each child re-
ceived. The city has also given land as the
site for suitable asylum buildings and it has
promised 800, 900 to aid in their erection as
soon as an equal amount is received from
private sources; and of this sum only $1,000
is now lacking. If proper effort we're made
here, there can be little doubt that similar
aid could be obtained either from the city or
State authorities or both; and it is certainly
high time that something should be done to
check the frequency of infsntioide in our
midst, to relieve the Almshouse from large
class of occupants for whose wants it can
never provide properly, and to redeem the
city from standing reproaoh.
