Cruelty from Children,

In my Judgment nothing too severe can be
said about that large and ill-advised class of
persons who permit their boys to hsrass travel
ers on the highways and byways, with that in
venton of the arch-fend known as veloci-
pede. You are hardly more alarmed by the
suddenness of the attack than by the uncer-
tainty of its direction. You are startled out of
your wonted repose of manner by the
enemy dashing round corner; you hastily
take refuge in puddle to avoid rear attack,
and perhaps run part way up the steps of
strange houses to save yourself from the COM
bined charge Of three racing abreast down the
sidewalk.
have about given up going to matinees on
account of the immense amount of school girl
gabbing to which am compelled to listen, in
stead of the entertainment for which pur-
chased my ticket If the gabble should stop,
it is only superseded by munching of candy
and suppressed gggling. If girls must 60 through
the vealy age let them undergo it at home, and
not invade the domains of the public.
Another cause OF complaint is the way in
which the public are called upon to listen to
rectations of "We are seven" "Little drops of
water" etc. The increase of Kindergartens has
done much to bring about this sad state of
affairs, but parents ought to interpose to save
the public. Let me suggest that if the public
met with more consideration, life would be
much more pleasant to the children. know
those who never enter place of amusement
except when accompanied by little faces,
whose bright eyes fail to see aught but the
beautiful could tell of many a drive and
picnic postponed till Saturday or vacation gave
the children chance to go. But, they were
children whose parents recognized the public,
and upheld their rights. l could also name
several libraries, picture galleries, greenhouses,
and museums, whose treasures never unfold
themselves to children, because the little fin
gers are so rarely taught not to touch. Most
children love music. Witness the crowd around
a grinding organ, even when unattended by
the attractive monkey. Yet, how many chill
dren does any one know whom she would risk
inviting to a musicale?
l cannot say 1 wholly agree with the man
who thought boy should be brought up in
hogshead, and fed through the bang hole, for
doubt not that on being released the wild OK of
the desert would be more desirable compsn-
ion; but do think that parents sho nld so
bring up their offspring that no one should
have occasion to make the suggestion. Yet
many of us feel with and for the sufferer who
said his sister followed to the letter one Bible
Injunction with regard to children. namely: ::

State Temperance Alliance.


1t is thought by very many of the most active
fends OF Temperance that the cause could be great
ly advanced in this State, by more judicous con-
centration of purpose and effort on the part of the
various Temperance organizations, the Church and
the public generally, by association in some State or
ganzation, similar in plan and scope to that of the
Massachusetts State Temperance Alliance" which
organization has existed in that State for upwards of
twenty-five years, and embraces in active member
snip, members OF all the various Temperance organ
izations as well as the Clergy and Church of almost
every denomination; receiving and disbursing from
fourteen to eighteen thousand dollars every year au-
thenticating and sending out Lecturers into every
portion OF the State arranging for public meetings
and supplying speakers, and closely watching the
Temperance pulse, and providing means and meas
ures to keep it in healthy and vigorous state
ully scrutiDizing all legislation, and ready at all
times to sound the alarm when encroachm ents from
the enemy are attempted. With view to organiz-
ing similar Alliance in Maine, and auxiliary to the
to the National Temperance Alliance, the under
signed invite the friends of Temperance to meet at
CONGRESS HALL, Portland,
on Wednesday, Feb. 9th, 1873, at Gig
O'Clock p. NJ,
To take such action as may then seem judicous.
In the evening, Temperance meeting will be held
IN the City Hall, which will be addressed by some of
the leading Temperance men in the State.
1t is sincerely hoped that every Church and every
Temperance organization in Maine, will send one or
more delegates.
