 1 The Gazette correspondent last week, in stead of attempting nleossibilities, and trying to prove his untrue assert ions of March 29th, wisely forebore, and gUshed forth in a disser- tation on those who stir up village strife, discord in community and church" etc.; and, undoubtedly remembering his own exper-
 fence, pathetcaly and tearfully warned every one to beware of getting ''wrecked among the | quicksands of criticism, sarcasm, scepticism and deceit" Lastly, Oh, immortal Cesar he pitifuIly walls, We therefore feel anxious for

 At the temperance meeting, Sunday night, | Rev. H. Upsen made some interesting, if not | very edifying, remarks. He believed many of | the temperance lecturers, and reformers going | about the country, did so, not thro' principle but because that was an easy way of sponging | good living from the community, and such were no better than the common tramp who begs at the back door. Of course he ought to know. As to woman's part in the temperance cause, her work was to stay at home. She had no business elsewhere. He said Mrs C. s. Whitney the lady who spoke here, this win ter, and of whom SO much has been said had no business preaching the gospel or temper ance in Milwaukee or New York and did not believe she was commissioned from on high to do any such work. She ought to be at her home in Hartford if she had one, etc. He spoke at considerable length, also, of the many great and good, and wise, and renowned grad uates of Yale and Harvard, and almost per suaded us to believe that such were the only persons fit for teachers of men, and capable of of propounding gospel truths.

And we are so full of ''woman's rights that we wish more and more women had brains enough to do it, many and many learned @ men to the contrary notwithstanding
