are growing, crime in on the increase. and men
are sinking into unhsllowed graves, women
are dying proken-hearted. and children are wan,
ragged and starving. The situation demands
remedy. Humanity must triumph or else the
worlds best hopes must trail in the dust. So
long as the lquor-tratfic exists no one Is safe.
1t contains the possibility of drunkards woe
upon every hearthstone in the land. II adds
nothing 10 the worlds prosperity; 1t 10 con-
slant menace to the peace and perpetulty OF
society. All classes of society, every trade,
profession and avocatlon are Swallowed by 1t.
Christian duty was considered, and the speaker
said that the temperance cause must become q
part Of the christians life. He was listened to
attentively, and made some points that alas,
are too true.
Rev. b. ID. Prescott said that the evils OF In
temperance icould not be overestimated, and
that 1t was the duty Of christians everywhere
to stand up for the night.
II. p. Macfsrlin, OF Waverly, man who had
been through the mill, gave stirring five min
utes' temperance speech, after which music
closed the exercises Of the day, and after an
hour Of fun and frolic fer the children, and .
genuine visit on the part OF adults. the crowd
commenced to dispense. At six O'Clock Pine
Grove had assumed her wonted quiet, and she
lay shimmering in q sinking August sun, none
the worse for the baptism Of humanity which
she had welcomed that day.

The subject most discussed at present in the
similarity Of school books through the town.
II the plan Is adopted, teachers, ~ well Is peo-
pie, will have reason to be thankful, Teachers
now find new set Of books in every school
they take, and many of them hinder the pro-
gress OF the pupils by their own ignorance Of
the. series. 1 think there is fair chance for
the sitting Of teachers, as people are nquifng
who have succeeded in giving satisfaction. 1t
il to be devoutly hoped that some Of the per-
sons who do nothing but hunt situations with
fat salaries will find the places filed with ener
getic, compete nt, worthy individuals. 1t ia
time for the people to awake in regard to school
interests it is time teachers were sifted and
the drones thrown into some other vocation
it is time the children should begin to appreci-
ate the value OF school and not spend term
after term on the same lessons and II is fully
time we ceased to change teachers every term,
In fact our district school system is greatly in
need Of decisive measures to make them more
renumerstive for the time and money expend-
ed. Will not some one who is interested take
up this subject and make some suggestions for
the general good?

We suppose the reason that young gentle
