A Ouaker's Temperance Lecture.

4 few days ago, several persons were
crossing the Allegheny mountains in stage.
Among them was Quaker. As considera-
BILE time was on their hands, they naturally
entered into conversation, which took the
direction of temperance, aud soon became
quite animated. One of the company did
not Join with the rest. lie was a large,
portly man, well dressed and OF gentemanly
bearing. There were sharp thrusts at the
liquor business, and those engaged in IT,
Indeed the whole subject was thoroughly
canyassed and handled without gloves.
Meanwhile this gentleman slowed himself
away in one corner, and maintained a stoical
silence After enduring it as long as he
could, with a pompous and magisterial man

a man has had enough he can get no more

respectable business" When lac had deliv-
cred himself, he seemed to feel that he had
put quietus on the subject, and that no an
swer could be given. Not So thought our
friend the Quaker. so he answered him.
said he, " Friend, that is the most damning
part OF thy business. If thee would only
sell to drunkards aud loafers, thee would
help kill of the race, and society would be
rid Of them. But thee takes the young, the
poor the innocent, and the unsuspecting,
and makes drunkards and loafers Of them /;
and when their character and money are
gone thee kicks them cut, and turns them
over to other shops to be finished off and
thee ensuares others and sends them on the
same road to ruin" Surely the good Qua

cur temperance column this week shall
chronicle the heroism of lady OF Albany,
New York, who, in doing her duty, snatched,
as it were, a young man back from "a prec.
ipice upon whose edge be was unconsciously
standing. The young man was not what
would be called even a moderate drinker
only occasionally would he take glass and
then in company with others. But Of late
he had begun to prescribe for himself d.
gcstion bitters,' which, in fact, he took
more as a beverage than a medicine, al
though he was not fully aware Of it. On
the largest mountain range OF the 'nited
States, within a radius of ten miles, three of
the mightiest rivers have their sources, from
which their streams flow in opposite direc-
tons. Up there water may easily be turned,
SO that it will meet the sea at "a point far
distant from that which would have been
the case had another direction been given it
in the beginning. SO there are critical
periods in the history of every man, when a
trihng circumstance will turn the course of
his life into this or that channel, either for
good or evil. This young man called. in
company with several other gentlemen, upon

scruples against the use of spirituous drinks,

nothing else, compelled them to answer
" We called upon YOU" Then YOU will

young lady added " Remember, if YOU

Lenlency to Drunkenness.

When the drink demon has an altar
erected for its worship, the children have
usually TO make the first sacrifice Their
clothes become more ragged and patched,
their food more coarse and less plentiful,
their education more and more neglected,
until the poor drunkard finds at length that
he cannot afford TO feed clOthe or educate
his own children they may starve or beg
or steal, but he cannot want the drink A
drunken mother becomes, if possible, even
more debased and hardened against all nat.
ural feeling. Quite recently woman was
brought up, one Thursday morning, before
the police court, Edinburgh, charged with
being drunk, and incapable Of taking care
of her child. She had left her husbands
house on Monday morning well clothed, with
the child, eleven months old, well clothed
too when found by the police, the child was
absolutely naked, and the mother almost in
the same condition. A boy in Manchester
having from his own earnings deposited
few shillings in the savings hank, his
drunken mother became aware OF the fact
and demanded that the money should be
given up to her In vain the boy pleaded
that it might be allowed to remain, and he
turned away muttering, It's no Use trying
to be good. Tile Temperance Reformation.
