There Is one feature Of the unusually
satisfactory Temperance meetings Of q
week ago last Sunday which needs to be
emphasized. 1t Is too often the case that
reformed men, when telling their ''experi-
ences" upon the stage. give the impression
Of almost glorying In the e1cesses Of the
past. Very often II has seemed ~ II.
while protesting to be ashamed Of what
they tell, they were In reality almost proud
secretly to have been so deep into such ad-
ventures. And as the speakers succeed one
another they appear to vie with each other
In telling hard stories Of what they have
done, till the general effect Is to make the
audience feel that amer all those were good
times when they laid down their manhood
and saw snakes or tried to walk on
both sides OF the road" and the like.
or this the meetings referred To were al
most entirely destitute. to the unbounded
satisfaction OF the judlcious. For what can
be worse than TO give young men to under
stsnd. that. though 1t is true tina, there are
some minor "unpleasantnesses" about
drunkenness. such are lying in the gutter
like a hog. running business, making
home wr.tch.d, abd entailing shame, IL
not appetite. upon children, yet, after all
there are certain delicious pleasures In IL
over which the reformed man Cannot help
smacking his lips with tender regret. and
certain spice OF adventure such as 4
manly spirit lovesS These ARE the very
ideas which lie at the root Of nine-ienihs of
the drinking among young men. Take
them out OF their heads, and the enemy has
lost his best hold.
Let yourg men aud boys no longer be
led TO feel that though drinking Is much
terA,ed by women and ministers. II is new
ertheless q manly thing and, TO use 3 Y an
kee phrase, "cute" thing, and their iu-
ward impulses to drink would be very much
diminished. But. on the contrary, let
drunkenness be made . thing to tell smart
stories over. and TO make an un,hinking
audience laugh al till the speaker becomes
a sort of hero of the hour, and that meet
In. has defeated its own end. Those whom
i ought 10 have impressed with q deep
shame and disgust a; excess, go away feel
ing that BY being sober and steady. they
have lost some OF the spice OF life, and they
will be fortunate II they do no, find that
they have secret hsnkerlng N break loose
from the tame monotony OF 4 respectable
life and TO taste the flavor Of wild oats."
Let any one watch = boy OF nfteen as he
gets into the habit Of drinking and he will
find that these are among the underlying
csuses.-an uneasiness under the restraints
OF decent life and a longing for some
thing spicy. In the name Of common sense
and Of the canse We have at heart, let US
have no more public nursing Of such dan
gerous tendencies, and let US congratulate
each other that these meetings have shown
that such dangerous talk IL dying out OF
oar temperance speeches. Every one who
attended those two gatherings must have
felt his interest In the cause OF temperance
revived and his sympathy for the reformed
men increased by their manly and self
respecting manner and words. l..

Mrs. A. +. Greedy made mot excellent
remarks, urging people TO cousecrate
themselves to this work. There never had
been nor never could be success In any
movement without some martyrs. The
rule seemed to be nrst the cross then the

would have nothing grand and noble.
Mr.. Clark felt that the physicians had
not done their duty 10 this matter
Remarks were also made BY Mr.. Melon
