AN ADDRESS

Delivered by Prof w. n. Viii,
liams, of Kansas City. before the
Mexico Temperance Union, Monday
night, March 10th, 1879. Published
by request of the Mexico N. C. T. o.
Mr.. President, and members Of the
Christian, Temperance Union:
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN--It ought
to be, and it is with trepidation that
I appear before an audience SO large
ly composed of the learned, the yir-
tuoas and the good as it is at once
my honor and pleasure to address
this evening. Your organization has
listened so frequently to the fullest
exposition of the virtues of temper
ance, and the vices of intemperance,
that have grave reason to doubt my
ability to present the subject in any
new light-such, indeed, could not
do. Lam only pleased to know that
it is my privilege to reiteIate some OF
the many truths to whit b you have SO
frequently listened to re-echo some
of the bugle-notes which have so often
resounded in your ears, as you have
been marching forward in formidable
array against common foe. The
name of your organization is sig
nificant-it carries with it that weigh
and power of Influence which shoulC
at once attract the sympathy, and co
operation of all who desire to see Kins
Alcohol dethroned. L am bold to say
that, Notwithstanding the fact, kindred
organizations have been instituted TO
years and many Of them have accom-
tplished the grandest results, yet NJ
one of them is a more effeetual ad
junct to the church, in her divin
mission Of worlds, redemption, thaI
this National Christian Temperate
Union. In union there is strength
and ! ann glad to know that in th
ceaseless warfare you are wagin
against vice, you have shown by you
heroic zeal and dauntless intrepidity
your strength Is well-nigh irresistible
Traverse our broad State withsc
ever You will, but nowhere can b
found, in all this great movement
fair women or brave men, more loys
to the standard under which you hav
So gIoriously rallied and so grandl
triumphed.
1t has been yours to witness an a
most complete revolution in though

With whom they will associate

with whom they will associate |
in coming years? While it is an
act of moral herolsm on the part of
the old inebriate to break away from
the sinares which beset him, and live
a Lew life, how much grander spec
tacle to witness the young, conse-
Grating their lives upon the blessed
affairs of truth, virtue and temperance.
This great movement, pre-emnently
the greatest which ever swept over
our land, has no element of power in
it greater than the children. In their
young hearts are to be imbedded
those unalterable principles which
will show forth in temperate and
upright life-principles which, if un-t
changed by the seductive influences
of vice, will shed undying lustre on
their possessor. There comes time
in their lives when they must face the
temptations and allurement of wick
ed world, when they must leave the
beloved associations of the dear par,
entail roof, and go forth single-hand-
ed and alone-it may be to fight the
great battle of life. OH how neces-
sary that Their loins be girt about
with truth, having on the breast
plate of righteousness, the feet shod
with the preparation of the gospel of
peace, and above all, taking the shield
OF faith wherewith to quench the fiery
darts of the wicked"
Well has the poet said:
ain the budding of youth,
Ere wild winds can deflower
The short leaves ofman's life,
Round the germ of his power; ii
Yet folded, our lives have been earn
| est,
Alas In this life one occasion,
One moment there is when it's earn
estness -
Might, with the life-sap Of youth,
Lusty fruitage bear in its manhood's
full growth,
But, ah oftimes it finds 2
Us when our nature is still;
The delicate toy of too plant will
The boisterous winds of the world
to resist,
Or the frosts of the worlds wintry
wisdom"
Its efficacy is exhibited in tn,
evangelizlng efforts put forth by thos'
who are nobly struggling to proven
sober people from becoming drunk
ards--to reclaim such as have alread,
become victims to the pernicious vic
and to preserve those who are expos
ed either TO fall on the one hand, o
) those WHO have fallen on the other.

"0nly a society girl" you say, with
an air of having, in that terse little
expression, characterized and bounded
the limits of her womanhood. You
have seen her waltzing, flirting, dim
ing, or promenading, you have ad-
mired her dainty toilet and graceful
ease, and because of an attractive c *
terror. you assume that the exterior is
all. You send her a bouquet and pay
her pretty compliments. You escort
her from the theater or opera, but you
cannot leave her to the melodies that
are all about her in the air, that the
stars are echoing to her spirit; and to
the thoughts, high, and pure, and fine,
that they suggest-thoughts she would
share with you, did you not bring her
to come, in all polite courtesy, to your
level of family favored conversation.
Perhaps you think she could not APP
%preciate anything stronger.
Society is, in its true sense, an art
and a success in society should imply
the highest success in life. Itshould be
significant of elegant culture, refined
tastes, of swift intuitions and keen APP
probation of all hat is noblest and
best; it must be saturated with purest
aims and generous impulses it should
imply spirits finely touched to highest
md finest issues. Society includes
all that is nearest our conception OF
paradise. Art, literature, experience.
observation-all these are the pillars
on which the superstructure rests.
Into this beautiful temple of fine
society shall enter the poet, with his
idealizationo of life and glimpses youch-
safed of heaven; there shall come the
musical artist, with his dream Of
diviner melodies the painter shall
bring his visions of fairer other worlds
than ours; the romancer shall bring
his portraitures, vivid and glowing
with life and the aroma of all these
| shall be-life.
And a lady who shall draw and hole
Ill these fine threads in her hand, who
may bring together grand and noble
souls, and evolve from each the har
mony Of its own rhythm, shall b,
known in half derisivc phrase as "onl,

A MOUNTAIN LION.
Ne Gives Battle to a Montana Hunter
and is Slain.

The Helena (Montana) Husband
man says:
On last Wednesday Mr.. Wesley
Curnutt took his gun and started to
hunt the horses. About three or four
miles from the White Sulphur Springs
he discovered a band of mountain
sheep, and as soon as he gained a pro-
per location he fred upon the game.
AT the crack of the gun one Of the
largest mountain lions we have ever
seen (you can imagine how large he
appeared to the bold hunter) sprang
from a cliff of rocks and landed not
over thirty feet frem Curnutt, in an
attitude looking anything but friendly,
and ready to contest titles to the game
IN question, Mr.. Curnutt. being an
old m%ountaineer and an experienced
hunter, took in the situation at a glance
and saw there was no time to lose. as
his antagonist meant business. so he i'm
mediately drew bead on the gentle-
man, and let him have a bullet before
he concluded to give way, and as he
ran received a number of shots which
he carried but a short distance. Mr..
Curnutt, after dressing his sheep,
which was a very large one, the head
and horns weighing thirty-seven and
a half pounds, returned to the battle
ground and found his antagonist dead.
Mr., q, having procured the assistance
| OF Colonel Kent hrought Az H.
camp, where they weighed and meas.
ured him, finding him to weigh go
pounds and measure nine feet eight
inches from the tip of the nose to the
tipofthe tail which the colonel( Though
a bear hunter in the Rockies for many
a year, acknowledges to be the boss
OF the mountains. Mr.. C. intends
shipping the lion by next Mondays
coach to DR.. Parberry, at Helena, who
will have the skin stuffed and pre-,
served in a proper manner"
