PROGRESS or TOTAL ABSTINENCE IN
ENGLAND.

Ia England, where the theory and
practice of total abstinence have al
ways been scoffed at by the cult
vated majority, the awful prevalence
of drunk enness is leading to The for
nation of a public sentiment against
drinking as strong as any ever exist
ed in this country. The clergy have
hitherto maintained drinking prao
tees, but now many of the ministers
of the Establishment as well as Of
the dissenting bodies, with large
section of the medical profession, a nd
distinguished men from every walk
in life have united in vigorous
movement for the suppression Of
drunkenness.
Canon Farrar, in sermon preached
a few Sundays since, in Westminster
Abbey, declared "alcoholic drinking
and drunkenness to be the one glar-
ing, disgraceful, and perilous ma.
tional vice, by which the nation
stands unenviably distinguished and
seriously endangered"
So strong feeling Of the evils of
drunkenness as that which now pre-
walls in respectable circles in Eng
land naturally leads to the Christian
rule of total abstinence. 1t does not
require the imposition of total absti-
nsnce upon others as rule; it only
leads man to say: Because this
evil is so great; and because / wish
to save those who are running them
selves by drink; and because l can
not very effectively urge them to alb
stain without abstaining myself; l
therefore relinquish luxury which I
have not abused, and to which | deem
myself entitled, that | may more
successfully persuade those to aban.
don it to whom it is proving curse"
1t begins to be very evident in Eng
land that the course of conduct is
something very different from fanati.
cism; and the same truth ought to
be equally evident on this side of
the ocean.

No LIQUOR licenses are now

have been visited ere this.
WHY is the side door to barroom

Because it's open only on Sunday.
Our new style clearance cards arc
reduced in price to Is cents each,
instead of 25 cents as formerly.
THE state of New York alone has

depends upon the officers! The
lodge cannot commence until they
get there; it cannot be enjoyable un.
less they are cheerful and hopeful +;
it cannot increase and strengthen un.
less they lead the way. If they are
indifferent, everyone else will be in
different too; if they are undignifed,
everyone else will incline to law

Forward, the Rum Brigade ~
Were all their friends dis,nayed?
Yes. and the soldiers knew
Each one had blundered.
Theirs not to make reply,
Theirs not to reason why,
Theirs but to drink and die;
Into the Valley OF Death
Walked the Six Hundred.
Drunkards to right of them,
Drunkards to lett of them,
Drunkartls In front of them,
One million numbered.
Oaths fell like shot and shell,
Rum did its work so well;
Into the jaws of Death,
Into the mouth of He'll.
Walked the Six Hundred.
Garments torn, cupboards bare,
Children with naught to wear,
Sleeping in cutters there,
Fathers are lying, while
All the world wondered.
Plunged into want and woe,
Onward they madly go,
Weeping in anguish.
Wives sit, for well they Know,
Shattered and sundered.
None will come back who go
OF the Six Hundred.
Curses 70 right Of tn elm,
Curses TO left OF them,
Curses behind them
Yolleyed and thundered.
Stormed at by those who sell.
They who had paid 50 well,
Well had been plundered.
Clenched teeth aud livid brow,
Delirium tremens now.
Thus young and Old man fell
Into the jaws of Death,
Into the mouth OF Hell.
Not one was left of them,
Left OF Six Hundred.
How did their glory fade
o the wild charge they made !
All the world wondered.
Weep for the charge they made,
Weep for the Rum Brigade,
