shed hell. Before that they felt sure of a
place to go to-" The effect is such that
every one is getting reckless of conse-
quences; even Sunday school teachers
are becoming demoralized to certain
extent. They have no desire now to
save themselves, and sinners also, be-
cause the fear that was engendered in
their minds in early youth in regard to
their future state has become thing of |
the past; they are satisfied that there is |
no birthstone in store for them, and as q |
consequence they don't care whether |
school keeps or not. We wish Beecher |
had not made up his minds to abolish |
that terror of the wic.ed for its evil |
effects are already beginning to be felt in |
Phoebe. 1t was only short time since
that young gent of this town. who has
hitherto been exemplary, was exposed to
the gaze OF II numerous company, by the |
sudden opening of the door, as he
was in the act of filling glass with
whisky from a demijohn, thrown over
the shoulder in the old free and easy
style. Now this would never have &C.
Cured, especially the expose, if things
had been as they "use to was" and We
hope and look for q speedy resumption
of some place Of punishment that will be
a little worse than the one abolished 30
that our youth will not become SO fear
fully reckless in regard to future conse-
quences.
ST. VALENTINES Day The day de-
voted to the sending and receceivipg
love missives did not create much e1-
element in Phoebe, the Postmaster in
forming us that very few valentines were
mailed, and of those most of them were
of a comic character. Some of these
latter kind made the recipients OF them
very hot and somewhat demonstrative;
but it's no use getting that way; if you
don like the kind you receive, the best
way is to keep your mouth closed and
place the offending missive as quietly as
possible on some red-hot Goals.
