Enough in One Rcd.

Emigration to the State of Michigan
was so great during the year 1856, that
every house was filed every night with
travellers wanting lodgings. Every
traveller there at that time will remem-
Der the difficulty of obtaining bed in
the hotel, even if he had two or three
"strange bed fellows"
The Rev. Hosea Brown, an eccentric
Methodist minister, stopped one night
at one of the hotels in Ann Arbor, and
inquired if he could have a room and
bed to himself. The barkceper told him
he could. unless they should be so full
as to render it necessary to put another
i'll with him. AT an early hour the rev.
erend gentleman went to his room, lock-
ed the door. and soon retired to his bed
and sank into comfortable sleep.
Along toward midnight he was reused
from his slumbers by loud knocking
at his door.
"Hallo,! you there" he exclaimed,
"what do you want nOr?"-particula
stress on the last word.
"Hou must take another lodger, sir,
with you," said the voice of the land
lord.
"What. another yct?'
'.Why, ycs-there is only one in here,
is there?"
ooh! why, here is Mr.. Brown and a
Methodist minister, and myself, and
should think that enough for one bed,
even III Michigan.
The landlord seemed to think so, too,
and LETT the trio to their repose.

An Acted Greed.

Error will never be headed off by
preaching and praying alone. When
error represents intellect, philanthropy,
art and culture and music, YOU must
fight with your own weapons. Match
eloqunce with eloquence, match culture
with finer finish, match philanthropy
with wider plans and a more generous
outlay for human veal. Incidence can
never overcome activity. Lethargy
can never conquer wakefulness. Faith
can never hold its own against works.
No creed can be as beautiful as good
deeds. The teaching and the feeding
of the muliitudes must go together. A
belief without any adequate expression
in acts is like an organ, when all its
pipes are silent and its keys untouched.
II is dumb. 1t charms no one. But
bring forth the player; let him press
the keys; let the dead air in all the cho-
raj columns be started into vibration.
and how the anthem swells, and how
hearts are lifted on the waves of sound,
and others with eyes filled with happy
tears. That which was dumb has spo-
ken, and the multitudes hasten to give
it praise.
SO it is with creed. Write il out

perfect i'll phraseology, skillful in its

ity-this and nothing more,-and who
cares for it? Does il touch any ones
heart? Does it gain adherents? No.
The world will never again fight over
words as it once did. There will be no
more church councils like the council
of Trent, TO last twenty years. Men
are too busy nowadays to spend half a
lifetime in debating theological dog
mas. But bring forth man who has "A
good creed, which he expresses in acts,
let him say, ~ love God with all my
heart, and my neighbor as myself" and
let him show it-and men will point to
him and say, ga religion which will
make man act as Mr.. A. does is the
religion for me-" And so religion is
honored by his conduct, and his creed
gains adherents.-[Golden Rule.

Is the Temperance Cause Progressing

1t is often urged that the injudicious
course of the friends of temperance
does not 10 away with any of its evils,
that the prohibitory liquor law and
other means used by the friends of the
cause actually increases the use of alco-
holic drinks, and there is more used,
and there is more drunkenness than
there was fifty years since. No greater
fallacy exists than this. Fifty years
ago every family kept it, and used it as
a beverage, and whole communities
were addicted to intemperance, instead
of few cases here and there that now
exist, making very small proportion
of any community that are the victims
of intemperance.
At meeting of the State Board of
Agriculture at Peacham, the past Win
ter, Mr.. Henry Blake, of Hardwick,
read paper upon "Fifty years of farm
life in Vermont, and its lessons" in
which he gave some facts touching upon
this question. He stated that one whole
town in that vicinity had at one time
become community of bankrupt
drunkards, and finally organized Il tenn
perance society among themselves, be-
fore the movement had become general
in the state.
lie also stated that many of the farms
in Caledonia county were paid for in
whisky, and that at ono time thirty dis
tilleries were running in the vicinity of
Peacham, blackening the air with their
smoke, spreading a blacker blight upon
the inhabitants about their location, and
impoverishing the soil by the demands
made upon it to stock them with grain
to manufacture their blight-dealing pro-
duct. The sins of our forefathers in
this way are still visited upon the third
and fourth generation. Among the
most potent causes of the present thrift
and prosperity of the farmers of Peach
am and vicinity, was the revolution in
the sentiments of their communities ON
this temperance question, and the doing
away with the manufacture of whisky
in that part of the state, not one of the
thirty distilleries now remaining TO ma
nufacture their blight dealing product,
or impoverish the soil to stock them.
A moments reflection and comparison
of the facts existing fifty years ago
with those that are evident 10 every one
to-day, will convince any candid-minded
person that temperance has made giant
strides in that time, and that very little
alcoholic liquor is now drank in compari-
son with what was drank then. T. n.
