-THE seeding of our English
brethren from the X. W. G.. l.. of
the World, does not in my opinion
materially iniure our order Those
who are posted as to the workings
of the order were not surprised, but
looked for the event that has just
transpired, and met the question IN
a calm ard dignihed manner. We
are not so sure but what it is the best
thing for the order that the separa-
ton should have occurred at this
meeting Of our r. w. q. Lodge, as
at some future meeting for underly'
ing the actions Of the leaders OF the
seceders we see an impudent amount
of ambition to rule and the sooner
we are rid Of such men the better
for the order
Now being an Engishman, take
the liberty of saying that ! think
this whole matter a high handed
piece Of impudence, and to say the
least of it, altogether inconsistent IN
the English people to dictate TO the
Americans, and especially the South :
ern portion, what barriers shall be
broken down, which American
society has thrown around itself,
when SO alany well defined classified
tons and distinctions of society ex-
lists in their own country Now, J
would take the liberty Of further
telling my countrymen across the
water, that the Southern people have
reached as high a state of civillza-
ton and are as humane as any peo'
pie with whom have sojourned,
CEngland not excepted,) nor have
they ignored the colored people in
their temperance work, but have
planned aud are assisting them to
work a temperance order, known as
the "True Reformers," which is in
every respect adapted to their intel>
lects and wishes, and is doing an in
calculable amount of good for their
race; and | ask my brethren across
the water, if they have temperance
at heart, why not leave well enough
alone
In conclusion | would state that
do not blame the membership of the
United Kingdom for this gap in th'
chain of Faith, Hope and Charity
which did surround the world, bu
place all the responsibility on tn
shoulders of Joseph Mains, an,
time alone will tell if he can bea
the burden. | would ask you a
brothers sill, before passing sen
tence on this turn in our affairs t
carefully pcruse the proceedings Q

CHRISTIANS, we call yoar a,ten-
ton 90 this fact: that in this coun-
try only one dollar is spent for the
spread Of the Gospel and Christian
Charities, while HUtecn are wasted
for Intoxicating drinks, to spread
crime, sin and debauchery, to deso~
late homes, to squander fortunes, to
ruin character, to blast reputation,
and TO consign to druukard'S graves
20 900 souls annually on this cont.
neut. Followers Of the Cross of
Christ, we ask you in the name Of
the Father, TO come forward and
give US your names and influence,
that you may assist us in retaining
the fallen, and save others from fall
ing into the evils of intemperance.
We do not claim for our order that
/. will make q man all he ought to
be, but of one thing We are sure, if
he will hold steadfast TO his obiga,
ton that it will make him a tewper>
ance man. We know Of no moral
movement which have lifted up SO
many prodigals out of the depths of
sin into which they had fallen, led
them back 20 their Fathers House
and brought pemtent to the foot of
the Cross. We consider our order
a very handmaid to the Church and
thinking SO, we ask all Christians to
give us their hearty co operation in
driving intemperanco from this com
muuity.

Sc0rcitN of Butter.

If the hopes of the farmers, that the
price of butter would be exhorbitant at the
opening of the Centennial, were doomed to
disappointment, they are in position now
to mend their crippled hopes, for butter is
both scarce and high. During the past
week it mas been in fine demand, the price
quickened from twenty-five cents to thirty
five, and Saturday night it was not to be had
at forty-fve cents. In conversation Saturday
evening with large dealer In butter, a rep
resentative of THE HERALD, was informed
that he could have sold one hundred pounds
during the afternoon at retail, and at fifty
cents, if it could have been procured.
There are many reasons given for the
scarcity of the article, one of which is that,
the cream is being sold off to the manufac'
turers of ice cream, another is that the
large supply which flooded the market to
meet the increased demands that the Cen
tennial would entail, has been exhausted,
and hence it's scarcity now.
