HOME MATTERS.
A Temperance Talk.

One difficulty, 1t seems to us, with most tch'-
pcrancc advocates is that while they ASK inc
drnker to give up his liquor and all the amuse'
ments connected with saloon visitinS-cards,
pool, billiards, etc, they rarely offer him any
thing to take their place. In the reiofmatory
institutions for ncbriatcs in New fork-on "ard 5
Island-paticnts have an abundance Of these
things, games Il large library, newspapers, etc,
IN addition to pleasant surroundings. All these
things tend TO draw the victims attention and
thoughts away from his malady and give him a
chance TO see how he can enjoy all his old pleas
ures without the pcrnicious accompaniment off fire.
Quent ''swallowings Of torchlight professions, ~
and such like.
That the ladies Of Peru understand this and APP
prcciatc all the virtues of the idea is quite evident
for we see in the La Sale Press OF last Saturday
that "On Wednesday the I'd inst, some of the
good ladies in Peru interested in the temperance
reform, inaugurated an enterprise which prom
ises well Down on Water street, on the first
floor Of Mrs. Scherzer's building, where it is
quite as accessible as and will be made much
more attractive than, any saloon in the city, they
opened temperance lunch room. Their pur-
pose is to supply the thirsty with excellent coffee,
tea or milk at just the same price per cupor glass
rs beer is furnished . cents-and equal the sa-
loon keepers in generosity by throwing in-n
lieu of their sausage and rye bread slice OF
wholesome bread and butter Besides these,
oysters, cold meats, fowls, homemade pies ana
cakes will be served at reasonable prices. Inc
daily papers, good books and periodical literature
Of the better sort will be kept, so that the place
will be pleasant reading room More than that,
guests will be waited upon by clean, bright in
tclligent ladies. So that, if the people of Peru
hereafter hang around in the stale, smoke-aden
and whisky perflimed air of the saloons, playing
pedro" and ''casino" and the like il will not be
for want of better place to go to. The Peru
ladies-God bless cm-arc preaching practical
gospel Of temperance and we hope will soon in
clude La Sale in their ministry. There is fine
opening here for branch establishment"
In one of the largest mining towns of England
a similar plan on an extended scale has been IN
practical operation for many years past with the
most happy results. The establishment is man
a Sed by the mining companies. 1t is a large
building handsomely furnished, supplied with
card billiard, reading rooms and lecture hail. in
which lectures and concerts are given, and a
splendid restaurant, where wholesome food and
drinks af every description Save intoXicatng)
are sold at cost The character Of the miners
who live here is sufficient commentary on the
establishments usefulness, being sober, indus
|trious, intelligent and are happier than usual
among laberers. To our mind it is the only solu-
|iion yet offered of the temperance question, and
|well worthy trial in other localities.

including 4 teacher of German. In the primary
and intermediate departments critic or super
visory teacher is employed, who assists, directs,
suggests, teaches, etc. Three teachers are en-
ploycd upon each floor; the critic being one OF
the three (most eXpcrcnced) has a room which
opens into both of the other rooms which adjoin
each other. Prof. McCircgor believes in method
and system, rs is everywhere apparent. At the
Blackstone school We we're cordially met by Prof.

of lady assistants, eight in number. The school
goes like clock work The system Of monthly
