Bangor Reform Club.

| Bangor Reform Club.
| The members of the Bangor reform club rec
ognized their second yearly anniversary, in very
appropriate manner. at the City Hall, on Sunday
afternoon and evening las.
| The hall WAS beautifully decorated with red,
white and blue bunting arranged in festoons, and
fags suspended across the platform, also large
variety of flowers and evergreens, thus giving the
ball very inviting appearance.
| At the appointed time for the exercises to be-
gin, the hall was filled to OVERLOOKING with deeply
interested listeners.
| The exercises commenced by singing and read
| ing portion of the scriptures A very fervent
prayer was offered by Mr.. Warren, member Of
| the club.
Appropriate remarks were made by the Presi-
! dent, Mr.. Bsrnaby. after which he read the roll
Of honor, which consisted of large number OF
names Of those who have kept their pledge and
are new members of the club.
DR.. II. A. Reynolds. the originator and former
president of the club, was introduced as the
, speaker for the afternoon.
The DR.. has been travelling during the last
year, through different states, devoting his whole
time TO the cause Of temperance. He has been
| -ery successful in the work, and great good has
| been accomplished through his influence. He
| seems to be deeply interested in the temperance
cause, and determined to devote his whole life to
the work. He is 8 very interesting and able
| speaker, as was seen by the undivided attention
! Of the large audience.
| Singing and shors speeches by the members of
the club, occupied the iema nder of the afternoon
In the evening the hall was again well filed
with people to listen to speeches by Dr. Reynolds,
Rev. Mr. Battles, Rev. Mr.. Fay, MIR. Stone of
| Somerville, Mass, and members of the club.
Great interest is felt by the citizens of Bangor in
| the work Of temperance. Much good has been
accomplished by the dillgent, hard working
and christian ladies Of the crusade. Their unceas-
| ing lsbors and earnest prayers have been the
| means of saving many an unfortunate from filing
| drunksrd's grave.
Shortly after this great temperance reform
| movement began, it was predicted by many, that
| It would not last long; that after few weeks it
would be thought of as something that had pass
| ed, leaving no good results behind. Such has not
| been the case. Instead of seeing drunken men
Keeling through the street, presenting q most ter
rible spectacle to the beho der, such is now sell
| dom seen. Instead of the police station being
| filled to OVERLOOKING most every night, with
drunken men, it seldom receives an occupant. II
| an unfortunate does find the way 10 the station,
| he is generally an inhabitant of another town.
| In-tcad of numerous drinking saloons every
| street, nothing Of the kind is to be found.
| This is tue great change that has been accom-
pshed during the last two years, by the ladies Of

In all her temples ringing.

Redeems her pledge Of honor,
And shouts with three exultng cheers,
Hurrah for Hayes and Connor!

But tell us, men of reason,
Must we bedeck nth diamonds rare
The CORY hand of Treason?
Must we term Davis grand and true,
Or Hill "the soul of honori"
And SANDER those who wore the blue
With gallant Hayes and Connori
Go, F eedom call thy legions forth
Uplift the poor and lowiy,
And God, the King of Heaven and earth,
VIII bless their labors holy
And patient Justice (never fear)
Will prove the discord healer,
Then shout, that all the world may bear,
Hurrah for Hayes and Wheeler!

Let joyous trumpets sound abroad
From North to South. Fl ON East to West,
To vict'ry Maine has shown the road,
And loyal hearts cry, "Maine be bles sed -
For law and liberty to fight,
The noble NJ aioe will never rest,
She gives to every man his right,
And every man cries, Maine be blessed !"
May Maine be blessed, and so her son
