iuforms us that he intends to have sheds crcc-

tB- The Temperance Council are doing a
good work in this locality. Their weekly
meetings are largely attended, and are said
to be very interesting. The exercises. beside
the regular ceremonies Of the evening, usual
ly consist OF singing, reading, recitations, etc.
The singing is the leading feature of these
meetings, and when it is known that some Of
our best vocalsts are members ofthe society,
our readers will be prepared to understand
how great treat the members Of the council
must have presented to them on such occa-
sions. Then the readings are source of
great intellectual pleasure and profit. and are
of great advantage to the reader. This is as
should be. boys and girls. You cannot possi-
bly, do better than this to improve yourselves
morally and intellectually. Be temperate in
all things; be prompt in your attendance on
these meetings that you may be purified by
the moral lessons taught; may be made more
amiable and loveable in disposition by the
ennobling and refining influence of music
and may be advanced and enlarged in your
intellectual comprehensions and tastes. The
knowledge Of the existence of such society
among our young people, must prove mat
ter of much pride and qualification to onr
community. God bless the men and women
who are engaged in this work, and may they
realize in all their efforts their most sangnine
expectations.
