We know we are not good looking,
and we are well aware that we are not
handsome, and wear pug nose; but
that is no reason the young ladies
should laugh at us going home from
prayer meeting Sunday nights. We
are sensitive about these things, and
don't like to be laughed at. We are
not to blame for these things. Now
girls, please don't do so any more.
Our Reform Club, held q regular
meeting in the NJ. Z. Church, last
Sunday Eve. President Follansby
presided. The meeting was addressed
by w. S. Robinson, Esq, of
Plymouth, n. H.. in an able and inter-
estipg manner. Mr.. Robinson set
forth in eloquent and torcible words,
the evils and wees of intemperance.
He knows whereof he speaks, being
reformed man." and knowing from
the worst kind of experience the
deluding influences of strong drink.
We wish this good work, and its faith
full advocate, hearty God speed, as
we believe this is the only true way to
bring about reformation of this
kind. May the good work, which has
so nicely begun, continue on its
Heavenly mission of doing good, and
serve as a beneficial aid in the
rescuing of perishing humanity.
