Ha~ Temperance Legislation is be
coming quite.common California and
Mississippi have lately passed very
stringent license laws, in the latter re-
quiring petitions Of two thirds of the
legal voters and majority of females
over eighteen years of age, TO secure a
license at all. The result is, very few
licenses are granted in that State. In
States where rrohibtory laws have
been in force for a number of years,
the execution of them has been lax and
sometimes almost neglected. Since the
womans' movement had its run, it is
observable that these laws have been
more efficiently enforced. The in
creased activity on the part of the
friends of temperance, of course, devel-
opes hostility and opposition, and the
result is just what might be expected,
conflict of moral forces such as has
not before been known for many years.
This is the time that tries mems souls.
When the opposing forces meet in con-
flict over disputed ground, many who
have been counted upon the side of re
form, are found upon the other side.
Shall we regret the conflict which re-
veals to us our true friends and discloses
our real enemies? No! II Thousand
times NO! Even though we may suf
fer defeat at the polls. The cause o
reform must be advanced by the con
test, whatever shall be the result.

SECOND PARISH CHURcH.-For some time
past the Second Parish church has been lying
in an unfinished condition. Some of the men,
bers of the society who were opposed to the
erection of the church on its present location
were inclined to think that it would never be
finished, but there were number of others in
the society who were as certain that it would
be completed. Time has proved the latter
class the wisest, for the church is now well un
derway and the trustees think that they see
their way clear for its early completion. The
windows have arrived and are nearly all in
place, giving the outside finished appearance
The inside is being worked upon also. The
galleries are erected and the rough work COM
pleted generally. S. W. Larrabee, Esq, has
been untiring in his efforts to have the church
completed and the prospect now is that he will
soon see his hopes realized. He states that he
has the requi site sum nearly secured.
