Your Goshen correspondent must nave been in a credulous mood, and withal must have en- tertained very contracted idea in regard to dame Natures splendid doings, when in his last number he wrote-'I suppose the sun never before rose so beautifully as on the'morn- ing of Good Friday" When it is considered that nearly nineteen hundred years have pas sed tince our Saviour's crucifxion, and that all the anniversaries of the day have transpir- ed in the latter part of March, or in April, it is fair to presume that within that long period there have been many Good Fridays as bright and lovely as the one for 1878.
 The Thonaston Temperance meetings of two or three weeks since were. last week suc- ceeded by another series, which took place afternoon and evening in the Congregational church. More speakers from abroad took part in the proceedings; also, Mir. and Mrs. Wilson, vocalists; the latter being more es- pecially a very fine singer. and sister to P. P. Bliss, author of Gospel SOngs," &c. Many from the Center and other parts of this town ~esSiANASNA if they had not previously done so-signed the pledge And, MT.

A number of the handsomest wo- where they can see and be seen and fiaunt yard upon yard of blue ribbon before the faces of the audience, daring them-so to speak-to come up and sign the pledge, and obtain bit of the ribbon for badge. This leads to ex- citement, especially among the male portion of the congregation. Many hesitate, but the bolder ones push forward, followed by the more bashful, and at length by even the ex- cessively timid ones Haveing come into the immediate presence of those smiling, charm ing countenances, there is no escape. The pledge is presented for their acceptance All must sign it. A few do So with ordinary calm ness, but the majority with trembling hand and then delicate fingers manipulate the blue ribbon into their button holes. Your Plym- outh correspondent thought of attending on Saturday or Sunday evening, but the rain and darkness, and slippery walking prevented. And now he rejoices that he did not go, for, had he done so, he could scarcely have escap. ed tho wiles of these pretty women with theil Haunting blue ribbon.
 Down here we are in the midst of a''spell of weather''-a week of almost entire cloudi ness, with considerable rain, apparently ''the end is not yet" It is fine weather, though notwithstanding there are those who do not hesitate to grumble about it.
