Editols OF the Register.
AS the time for prsyi' : seem. 20 have
come upon US. both IL ,Hc CHAR hs- and
in the saloons; led by meu commits
stoned or ordained by dvipe authority
in our Churches-who never cease
their labors in behalf oil mems SOUL;
while, on the other hand, and | am
sorry to say it. the saloon prayer meet
ings are conducted BY women-thus
disgraciug themselves and their fami-
lies, by this mockerY made of pray er
through the streets and by-waye, and
in the lowest and most disgraced COM
panv that some OF Our respectable Ia
dies could associate with. Yes, mean,
low Aenpecked husbsnds, old bachelors
and, wore than all, OH msids, that al
ways want 10 naAc themselves coDspic-
uous 10 the eyes Of the opposite sex.
Now, | propose to thos. women, that
charity should begin at home. That
instead OF praying for saloon keepers,
they should, or at least ought to. pray
for the conversion OF large number oi
bad, dirty housekeepers, scandal gath
erers and backbiters, who to-day drive
more men to ruin than all the salooas
in the country. For, where is the man
OF ordinary common sense that will or
can live agreeably with bDckbitiug,
run-about OF a woman, who never can
afford time enough to attend to her
household affairs, but can find ample
time TO canvass every persons reputa-
ton in her peighborhood, while her
husband is attending to his labor; and
her children uncared for, run as does
their mother, from one house to auoth-
er, growing up a disgrace to the COM
munity. And the husband OF such a
woman can have no pleasure in bis own
house. 1t is an ease 10 him to
run to the nearest saloon or gambling
he'll. After his supper in the evening
and on Sunday, when the hard work
ing husband OF street "parader,' or
commonly called by the Irish Gal
lavanther OF Woman" has not clean
change OF linen for him, 30 that he
roight attend church or appear on the
street in anything like the manner he
sees other men. whose wives attend to
their own business.
Now would it not be well for those
women who have time to pray to turn
their attention to those women mentions
ed above and let those saloon keepers
alone, for | don't think that they can
stop the sale or drink OF liquor, and
work it Tor ages under the system ad-
iopted by these crusaders.
Yours, &C,

Editors OF the Register.
An article, temperate in tone, and
sensible in its suggestions, appeared in
the IteNTgcnctr Of Saturday, having
reference to the matter OF q new school
house for the Second aud Third wards
The suggestion OF uniting the Second
and Third wards into one sub-dstrict
ia said 10 have been frs. offered by DR..
Logan, a member of the Board from
the Second ward. The mcmocrs from
the Third warl were, il the reports
speak correctly, disposed to favor the
proposition bu, as stated by A Citi-
zen" in the Inttl,igsnctr article, a site
could not be agreed upon.
1t appears now. that another cite is
spoken OF, and it is somewhat surprls-
ing that it was not thought o: before,
since, as a Citizen" states, it offers
every desirable sdyantage as a cite for
Union school building. It is IN a
very hsaIlhiul locality, high and dry,
| and yet entirely convenient OF access to
the school-going population Of the two
wards. The writer once lived ia the
immediate vicinity, aud knows thst al
that "a Citizen" says Of tbs character
OF the ground is true.
