Real Refinement.

II is not a boon companion that a
right-minded man wants in a Young
woman, it is something to call ont his

This is not saying that the woman should

though, on the whole, Mrs. Barbauld's
mother was right, and prudishmcss is
the better extreme in girl than fast

Real refinement has the full play of
all its faculties; and its very modcstv

Temperance in High Places.

1t has been truly observed that all
great moral reforms begin at the bot
tom of society and work their way up.
The temperance movement is a marked
instance of this observation. The So
cicty founded by Il few poor men in
Preston, Lancashire, has so extended
and so leavencd English society with
its principles as TO have gained con-
verts even among royalty itself, as the
following extract from the Lancet will
show:
The gratifying announcement that
Her Majesty the Queen would become
a patron of the Church of England
Temperance Society is followed up bv
the almost equally gratifying statement
that the Rev Basil Wilberiorce has re-
ceivcd letter announcing that his Roy
al Highncss Prince Leopold will be.
come president of the Oxford Branch
of the Church of England Temperance
Society. The church of England can
do no higher service to this country
than by cnlisting the sympathy of roy
atty and rank in the temperance move
ment. 1t is high time that the amount
of drinking that goes on in all parts of
the kingdom should be abated, as
something intensely degrading and dis
graceful, having no foundation IN
either sense or morality, as il certainly
has none in physiology. Let us hope
that we are at the beginning Of II great
religious and patriotic effort to increase
the temperance of every section of the
community. Mere patronage will NOT
do It, But we shall have more assis-
tancc in this enterprise from the Royal
Family than is implied in mere patron-
age; and not the least glory of the Vie
torian reign will be the perception ofa
great social vice by Her Majesty, and
her desire personally to help in lis re-
moval.
