 | | busy season. when farmers are Tn the midst of their harvesting, there was large attendance at the temperance meeting Fri day evening at the Town Hall, probably $50 being present. Gen. Love presided, and the meeting was opened by elnging the grand old Coronation" after which Rev. MT. Reid read the 23d Psalm, and offered prayer. II love to tell the story" was heartily sung by the audience, and Gen. Love, in opening the meeting, expressed his pleasure at again being able to address a Canaan audience. When he was here be
 fore, the snow was capping the mountain tops, and the icy letters bound the streams. Now all nature was smiling and man re- joicing in the glad harvest time. There were some who greeted hlm then whom he would never clasp hands with again on earth, and he referred to the death of the late editor of this paper, MT. Pease, most feelipgly, and he missed him as one who had stood by the cause both in his position. and as citizen, and he exhorted his audi ence to emulate his example of fidelity to | tuOu 440 CAlCuNCo HE 6yupokAy to the family and friends of the deceased.
 He introduced to the audience MT. Ed ward Murphy, who was greeted with ap- plause as he rose to his feet.
 MT. Murphy returned his thanks for the fattering reception which had greeted him.
 He was glad of the fact that they were not strangers, but brothers working for one
 common cause, and deep underlying the
 national life was principle of unity of ac-
 tion and harmc ny of spirit. He proposed
 to discuss the necessity for workers in the cause. There were two great principles in
 the world, Formation and Reformation When God made the earth he formed it
 man had fallen, and a work only little : less than divine had been going on,and was
 still going on. R forms had existed in all
 ages of the world, and had marked out ( way humanity should go. Greece had So lon, Switzerland William Tell, England

 had never lacked the support of men o , high moral principles. The first principle

So the work had been going , on glorious!y for a century, and the friend of temperance had reason to take courage He thought it every mans duty to cast hl influence on the side of right.
 : He had felt, in fathers fall, the stin, ] of inlemperance, and sad picture he drev 8 of it, too. There was the pleasant cottage 3 where happiness dwelt a loving father ant
 beloved mother cared for their little ones
 The tempter came, the father drank, ant then followed the arrest, incarceration ant
 the separation. Poverty, with no bread
 tor the little ones, was the guest, and plen , ty was gone. The boys earned trif
 picking up stray pieces of coal from th
 wharves; there were months of anguish
 but the mothers finn faith in God hrough them in time brighter day again. Hi . mothers death, her parting words, and it . lasting influence, were feelingly told, ant
 the audience listeLed attentively to it, man. being moved to tears. He was glad of th
 thought, however, that his father had beel :, able to do some little good in his day, an'
 he counseled parents to set the right exam = pie before their children. Somo sad th
 movement was spasmodic; it was none tn :, less duty to assist those who were tryin C to help themselves, Those who sighed fo
 fields of labor could find it anywhere. Tn
 work was just beginning, and It must g
