What the Cause Has Done.

Rev. Newman Hall of London, has beau
tifully said Of the temperance cause I" 1t is
an enterprise that has fed the hungry, and
clothed the naked, and healed the sick, and
taught the ignorant, and elevated the de-
graded. and gladdened the sorrowful, and
led to the cross multitudes that had been
wandering far away; an enterprise that has
gathered again the fortune that had been
scattered, and built again the home that
had been ruined and raised again the char.
acter that had been blasted, and bound up
again the heart that had been broken an
enterprise that has given peace where there
was discord aud gladness where there had
been woe, that has broken open many a
prison door, and restored to his right mind
many a maniac an enterprise that has pre-
vented many suicide, and that has robbed
the gallows of many victim that would
otherwise have been there an enterprise
that has thinned the work-house, and the
hospital, and the jail but that has helped
TO fill the school, and the lecture-room, and
the industrial exhibition an enterprise that
has turned into useful citizens those that
were the pests Of society-one of the best
educators of the masses, one Of the very
chief pioneers of the gospel, an enterprise
which is not Christ, but which is as one of
the holy angels that go upon his mission.
Like some fair spirit from another world,
our great enterprise has trodden the wilder
ness, and flowers of beauty have sprung up
upon her track. She has looked around,
gladdening all on whom her smiles have
fallen; she has touched the captive, and his
letters have fallen off she has spoken, and
the couutensuce of despair has been lighted
up with hope; waved her magic wand, and
the wilderness has rejoiced and blossomed
as the rose. Like the fabled Orpheus, she
has warbled her song of mercy, and wild
beasts, losing their ferocity have followed
gladly and gratefully in her train. She has
raised up those that have been worse than
dead sepulchered in sin, and she has led
multitudes to the living waters Of salvation u

G rie 4.

Sorrows can be told, but grief is voiceless.
We feel it, but cannot speak it, 1t finds
no solace in the crowded streets or halls OF
fashion. Grief buries itself in our deepest
affections, like the grave of its object. 1t
listens to the moaning night wind as an
echo of its own voice. 1t is always watch
ing for the face it shall never see. 1t loves
the silence of the night rather than the
hustle of the day. 1t is entranced by the
music of the minor key. How rare the
home which knows it not The more affec-
tionate the home the deeper is the sorrow.
Grief is always the child of love; and its
depth is measured by its silence. Tens OF
thousands look into the clear sky every
night, and only the angels see them. They
who sing the sweetest in heaven leave the
saddest hearts here. Home has its glory in
winter time aud the long evenings are its
crown. Oh, ye whose eyes have been
blinded and whose songs are husbed, the
vacant chair shall make the long evenings
longer, and their pleasures less real. Strange
that we never hear the sweet voice call now
Strange that when we almost forget and
speak the dear name, no answer comes
And yet not strange The houses of the
dead outnumber far those Of the living, and
the mourners shall always crowd our high
ways. The streets of gold are better than
these streets of snow. The mansions OF
God are better than our mansions. The
trees of heaven never stand with whitening,
falling leaves. Its river is never frozen.
The harps of the great orchestra are never
broken the voices that sing are never dis
cordant; aud God has wiped away all tears.
Our night is no night to them and they
know no blight of sin. Love never faileth.
Their love for us heightens their Joy; aud

the Rev. R. H. Howard, A. NJ, published in
the Freeman some time since, find the fol-
lowing; 'Only two battles were fought on
the soil of Vermont during the revolution-
ary war--the battles of Hubbardton and
Of Bennington
"a few weeks later another writer in the
same paper differed with Mr.. Howard and
stated, upon what he called good authority,
that the battle Of Hubbardton was the
only battle fought on Vermont soil that
the battle of Bennington was, in fact, fought
in New York. Now, being a Vermonter
myself, feel an interest in the foregoing
statements, and wish to know which is right.

Holidays Of the Heart.

This happy phrase, which Longfellow
best-beloved of poets, invented as title To
one of his sweetest songs, ought to have a
personal meaning to everyone whose life is
not wholly in the present. For the average
life is not SO rich in what the forerunner OF
the old Puritans called "crowning nercies,
that we can afford to make all days that are
past alike common, and think no more Of
them than Of the sunshine or showers, the
leaves or the frnit of dead year. There are
or ought to be, some " days of days." that
shed sunlight upon our path, give germina
ton to our nobler purposes, or bring frui
ton to our hopes, which should stand to US
as the saints days do to the church, or the hol
iday festivals to the world. In this way the
Just complaint that as people we do not have
enough holidays could be adequately met
The mere stopping of all the ordinary avo
cations of the people, and wandering aim
lessly free, without any underlying or ami
mating sentiment, may or may not conduct
to the general happiness. Much of the va
Guilty and restlessness observable upon such
occasions, and which have been said tc
make an American holiday most mean
choly occasion, are doubtless due to this
lack of personal interest. 1t is hard IL
crowd happiness upon people in the mass
They must carry the happy heart into theil
festivities, or they cannot hope to find il
there. But though legal warrant for pleas
ure may fail, natural expression of tn,
emotion can hardly do SO. The wedding an
niversary of couple who are mated as vel
as married will never pass unremembered
even though the observance be no more thar
tenderer thought and dearer word thar
usual--a bunch Of flowers by the plate, or {
little token of remembrance. The vulgarity
of gift-solicting upon such anniversaries
benefit nights for married beggars," a
they were aptly called-is happily less il
vogue than formerly but as the holiday fo
the heart and the home, observed by a day
pleasuring, special dinner, an evening
entertainment, and real reminiscence O
the happy time when the two paths merged
into one, the wedding anniversary is NOR,
and more priced. The Thanksgiving Da,
coming will most richly bless those who
look into their own hearts and give thanks
rather than to the presidents proclamation
The occasion is public-the expression

icated to public gratitude and praise, it is

A Gr0undless Plea.

1t has been a favorite idea with some that
the use Of white wines and lager beers and
ales, as a beverage, would promote temper
ance by leading people to drink these in.
stead of stronger liquors. Great Britain
tried the beer remedy by encouraging its
sale aud use, and the result is that beers y
have largely increased the consumption of
stronger liquors, and greatly increased In
temperance among the English people. More
recently, California has tried the experiment
OF encouraging the manufacture and use of
light wines. "The result is" according to
the San Francisco correspondent Of the Bos-
ton Journal, Z" that the Calfornians not only
drink more run aud beer, but also more
spirituous liquors, than any other portion
OF our population" The same correspond
ent says that some of the California hotels
have provided drunk-rooms for those Gus
toners who have become so intoxicated as to
become helpless" "A snifter of bourbon
adds the writer, lis preferred to cham.
pagne," showing that the use of wine and
beer causes an appetite which calls for
something stronger. The use of opium in
California is alarmingly on the increase
We should as soon think of training child
to be virtuous by inviting him to enter the
outer circles of vice, as to train him to be
temperate by giving him cider, beer and
wine.-The Christian.

inches broad. The length of this figure will
be the length of the map and the breadth
will be the northern boundary. Beginning
with the upper left hand corner divide the
rectangle, by vertical lines, into four equal
spaces, and by horizontal lines, into six equal
spaces. Number the vertical lines in their
order l, 2, 8, 4, 5, and the horizontal lines,
A, B, c, d, E, +, G. Let this exercise be
practiced until the pupil can construct true
rectange with the dividing lines crossing
each other at right angles this will form a
ground plan for the construction Of the map
After completing the rectangle, it will be
necessary to mark the position of those
points which, when connected by the proper
lines, will give correct outline of the map.
Lake Champlain and the Connecticut River
will be the most difficult to draw. The
tendency usually is to make the lake too
short, too straight and too wide; also to
make the eastern boundary too straight,
giving the river too nearly southerly d.
rection in its general course, or making the
southern boundary too long. These errors
may be guarded against by marking the rect
angle as follows: For convenience we will
call the distance between two lines a space
or one s. At the upper right hand corner,
Just to the left of line 5, mark the northeast
ern corner of the state, a on 5, at B, mark
the most easterly projection of the great
bend of the Connecticut b; on c, a little to
the left of 4, mark the most westerly pro-
lection of the same, C; on E, one-fourth S
| to the right of 3, mark the western limit of
the next bend, d.; little below G, and a
little to the right of 8, mark the southeast
ern corner of the state e. Connect these
points with dotted lines and you have the
outline for the Connecticut. Following
this, and observing carefully the lesser bends
in the river, draw the eastern boundary.
On G, a little more than one-third S to
the right of l, mark the southwestern corner
of the state, +; little above Z, and one
half S to the right of l, mark the beginning
of the boundary formed by the Poultney
