Mr.. Jehn A. Nichols Of England, a
member of the Lowell, Mass. Reform
Club, who is now lecturing in Vermont
and New Hampshire and helping to form
temperance reform clubs, gave very in
teresting temperance address at the Meth
odist church last Sunday evening. His
subject, "Who are the brave" was hand
led in a very candid, earnest and interest
ing manner. His lecture though some
what lengthy, was listened TO by the
large audience with marked interest to
the close. We bespeak for Mr.. N. wher-
ever he may go, the hearty cooperation
of the friends of temperance.

Temperance meeting Tuesday evening;
hall well filed. Subject for discussion,
"Thc evils of the use of tobacco" OPEN
ed by Judge Brooks, who uses the weed,
but not extravagautly, but like all others,
thinks there is nothing very bad about it,
and not to be compared with liquor. The
Judge was followed by Revs. Perkins and
Smith, and in we'll directed blows they
hammered the evil pretty efectually. The
exercises were interspersed with songs,
speaking, Rotations and variety, suf-
ficient to satisfy any audience. Decided
to have the tobacco question for discus
sion at the next meeting.

One of the old settlers of this town
died last week, Deacon Ashley Appleton.
He died at the residence of his son, Deacon
George A. Appleton, in Victory. The de-
ceased came to this town "a years ago,
from Dublin, N. II. There were but
ten men in town at that time, three of
whom survive him and still live here and
are all older men than the Deacon, who
was nearly so years old. There We're liv-
ing within some three miles of his old
place ten persons who were from 20 to 50
years old at the time of the deacon's
death. He had been married almost 50
years, and over so of them had been
spent on the same farm, on which he
lived when he was married. His wife
still survives him. He had been men,
Der of the Congregational church in this
town for 40 years, all but ten of which
he held the Office Of deacon.

The Reform Club held a meeting at the
village Saturday evening, July 22nd.
Miss Fanny Hubbard read a selection, and
Currier Green acclaimed. Sunday after
noon they met again expecting to listen
to lecture by A. R. Evans, Esq, but he
was detained at Lancaster. The presi-
dent was absent Con account of sickness
in his family for the first time since the
club was organized. Mr.. Hibbard spoke
at length-feared there was too much ex-
element in the meetings to make them
productive of good; the ladies ought to
do more, they would not get excited did
not like the custom of calling on men,
berS or strangers to speak; thought diff
fident persons would hesitate to attend !;
was i'll favor of temperance, however, and
hoped the club would prosper. The Vice
President, r. 2. Peabody replied in regard
to the speaking said it was customary for
the president to ask whoever he chose to
make remarks, and if people were too
bashful to say anything or had nothing to
say, it wouldn't kill them to make it
known. C. S. Cummings "liked excite
ment, he was excited all the time and
wanted to excite Others" A. S. Twitchell
chad seen ladies very much excited
liked to see folks excited, and liked to
see them cool; the excited, hot headed
ones could rush on ahead and the cool
ones push after" And he might have
added, trig the wheels of reform when
the excitement stopped, so they would
not run back where they started from.
Saturday, August 9Th, the Reform Club
held their meeting on the north side of
the river Edward Green acclaimed and
Miss Alice Green read a selection on the
use of tobacco. A pledge was immediate
ly drawn up and fourteen signed it. The

People are beginning to learn by sad
experience that the so called hair re-

poisonous nature, and can be used only
at the expense of health and even life if
persisted in. To take the place of these
nostrums, p. J. Noyes, the druggist, has
produced hair tonic, the base of which
is quinine. 1t is very efiicaceOus tonic

Unwilling of the Lincoln Statue.
WAsHINGToN, April IA.
The unwilling of the Lincoln statue
in Lincoln Square in the eastern por

to-day's legal holiday. The colored

procession was large, including colored
troops, Knights Templars, Knights OF
st. Augustine, Sons of Purity, Sons of
Levi, Good Samaritans, Labor League

Citations accompanied by music. There
was previous to their arrival an inn
mense as~emblage at the park. The
statue, covered with flags. Was the
great object of interest. The first con
tribuiion to the statue fund was made
the morning after the assassination
of Lincoln by Charlotte Scott, a col
ored woman OF Marietta. Ohio, who
gave fifty dollars. The original cost of
the monument was II. 900 and other in
cidental expenses have ali been paid
by subscriptions by colored people. The
last Congress appropriated $4,000 for
the pedestal, and the statue was allowed
to pass The Custom house free of duty.
The statue, which is of bronze. is of
colossal size, being IL feet in height
resting upon pedestal 10 feet high. 1t
represents Lincoln standing erect with
a proclamation OF emancipation in his
left hand, while his right hand is put
stretched over the kneeling figure of a

We often spend a great deal Of time
bewailiDg grievances, which might he
employed to much better advantage.
There is a '.luxury of woe" in which
people indulge which rarely berefils
others or themselves. We do not
mean s%ourness, grumbling, or melan-
choly. 1t is not that; it is of those
secret thoughts of the heart that we
speak, which, like the dark outlines Of
some rock in the depths of a pool, lie
only on the bottom, and are entirely
unseen on the surface. We ponder on
Il many trials when it would be
much better, figuratively, or even lit
orally, to be on our knees thanking
God. If we bet stop to think what he
has done for us we can hardly help
smiling, even in the midst of our tears
it is too much! Why, he has given
us a soul TO know how useful shadows
are in their contrasts and reliets. He
has revealed to us our W power to
meet, wrestle with. and compel his
angel, Sorrow, to bless us! Although
it may be presumed that we treat all
fsllow-creatures with kindness and
consideration, if we would but go a
little farther and make some real sac
rifice for one of them, we should
begin the most charming of pleasures,
in some instances at least; to forget
troubles, not perhaps to remove
them, but it would help us to bear
them. Nothing is 50 certain to bring
genuine, happy smiles to our own
faces, as to watch them grow in those
of others, as the result of our sympa-
thy, iii gentle words or hopeful deeds.
Who ever did a real kindness for an
other without feeling a warm glow of
satisfaction creep into some shady cor
ner of the heart and fill it with sweet
ness and peace? 1t slike the tying of a
knot of violets and mignonette into the
button-hole, just where their perfume
may rise deliciously to u all
day. And what a pleasure it will be
when the present trouble is over, to
remember even in its darkest days we
found time and inclination to give to
others some portion of that tender
ness or practical h~elpfulness which
was the overflow of a generous spirit
which finally bore us through it all to a
happy and peaceful ending. Rejoice
with them that do rejoice, and weep
with them that weep"

EASHEKs
To-day Is Easter Sunday. Over
eighteen hundred years ago the Savior
Of mankind having suffered the atone.
ment for the sins Of humanity, reap
peared among men in human form.
The resurrection was the keynote to
the successful propagation of the
Christian faith. 1t was the supernat-
ural truth of Christ's rising from the
dead that elevated the simple belief of
the early Christians above the poetical
superstitions and the mystical philos-
ophies of the Greek and Roman re-
ligious systems. Men We're luke
warm in pantheistic belief. Earnest
minds were seeking the one, the I'M
known God; and in the person of
this Hebrew, dead but restored to life.
was presented the evidence of a per-
sonal Supreme Being having control
over lie and death. 1t was princi-
pally the fact of the resurrection that
was insisted upon by the fathers of the
church in impressing the true faith
upon the nations. The importance of
the fact led of course to. solemn OBJ
servance of the day commemorative
of it. There were differences OF opin-
ion among the early Christians as to
the true anniversary of the resurrec-
ton. These differences were consid-
cred of such importance as to produce
schisms in the churches, and it was
not until the latter part of the Sec
ond century that the Eastern and
Western churches fixed upon the first
Sunday after the Paschal full moon
(the full moon next after the vernal
equinox) as the festival to be observed
In commemoration of the great vital
fact of the Christian belief. The prim-
tive church attached much more i'm
portance to Easter than the churches
OF to-day. The only denominations OF
Christians thatnow observe Easter are,
we believe, the Protestant Episcopal,
the Roman Catholic and the Greek. II
~ - =. -
is q joyous season in these churches.
The forty typical days of fasting and
humiliation are past, and Christians,
having mournedt the passion and death
of their Lord, rejoice in his resurrec-
ton and ascension and in the promise
of the life to come.
Among all European nations there
are local customs observed at Easter
whose origin. extends back into the
twilight of fable, and whose signifi-
cancy cannot be traced. Tie colcred
eggs, familiar to US all, are, we believe,
purely English in their origin. The
origin Of this custom was undoubtedly
prior to the Saxon conquest, and may,
perhaps, be traced to the early British
church. We can we'll remember the
grateful Easter eggs presented us in
our boyhood on Easter morning, and
the still more grateful holiday vouch-
safed US on Easter Monday; and as we
write we long for an Easter egg, pre-
scented by the same loving hands, and
for. an Easter holiday, passed with the
same loving friends.
