MORAL AND Legal. slJASION.
Men honestly differ in their
views as TO the best means Of
meeting and uprooting the evils
produced by rum. Some adlyo-'
cate moral suasion, others adyo-
CITE legal suasion. We advo-
cate both. And il there be ANY,
other suasion under heaven that
viii contribute to its overthrow
We advocate that also. We pre-
sumo that every rnmseller is an
advocate Of moral suaeion, and
we suppose that ifa sermon was
preached from any pulpit adyoA
eating moral suasion, and it OH
", every rumseller IN the coun-
try would applaud both the SER
mon and the preacher. But
there are occasions when moral
suasion is impracticable. If you
discovered the llousebufner APP
plying the torch to your dwelling
you would be more likely to
shoot him than to plead with
himi If you saw a murderer
with drawn dagger about to
smite your neighbor you would
not stop to argue the ease with
him. but would strike the hand
that held the weapon and hand
the assassin over to justice. So
if you pass by the shop where
rum is sold and observe that
keeper dealing out that poison
to your son which you know pla-
ces him in danger Of meeting a
fate far worse than death, it is
morally impossible for you to &c
TO him with tears in your eyes
and implore him to desist. What
cares the rumseller fer your tears
and entreaties? VIII he allow
a fathers grief, a mothers bro.

between him and his gains? Tx

TEMPERATE MEN AND TEMPER-

AS much as the two words
sound alike there is a difference
in them that perhaps you have
never observed. A saloon keep
err or distiller may be a temper
ate man. He knows too much
of the evils of the stuff with
which he is dealing TO be fool
enough to drink if himself. He
is a temperate man but not a
temperance man. Are You a
temperance man? Honor bright,
now? Are you not just tenn
perate man? SO many people
say, 81 am just as much in ia
for Of temperance as you. But
l am opposed to taking a mans
liberty away from him. III he
wants to sell liquor let him sell
it. If men are fools enough to
drink it Let them do so. am a
temperate man myself, but this
lis a free country and every man
ought TO be allowed to do as he
chooses" As well might you

other crime because this is a free

We make tile bold and tin-
qualified assertion that every
man who prays for temperance,
and yet refuses to lend his aid
to close and lock up these gates
to hell, by legal proceedings, is a
bazen=faced hypocritc. Now
here is the challenge, dear Chris
tian friends; now pick it up

We heard a brother say that a
certain person may have been a
member Of a lodge but he doubt
ed his ever having been Good
'remplar. lie added, that if he
had taken the obligation at all
it was only from the lips out
ward not from the heart. Now,
isn't this one Of our troublesY
Too many only promise with
their lips; they do not put their
hearts to the work. They are
convinced of the necessity Of
temperance work, but not con-
verified to the cause. They JOIN
a lodge and think their duties
are ended. If it is convenient
to attend lodge, they go; if not
they stay at home, or go to some
entertainments. If the lodge is
conducted to suit them they pro-
Inounce it a success, otherwise il
is a failure. If a member in
some way wrongs them or Injuries
their feelings, they blame the
whole Order and withdraw from
it. But if the heart is convert
ed to the work, nothing can cause
one to give mp their work. 1t
matters not whether friends cheer
or enemies oppose, they keep
quietly on about their work.
They try and faithfully discharge
their own duties and patiently
await the result.

The Weather for 1879.

Richard Msnsil's Almanac of Planetary
Meteorology,' for 1879 has the following; If
the position of the planets affect the temper
ature of our esrth's atmosphere during the
year 1879, as they have done in similar posi-
tions during the past years, particularly the
ls77-7S and the early spring of 1871 we
may expect very erratic weather during
1879.
Agreeable to this theory we shall have
cool weather set in early in the autumn of
1878; it will,grow cooler somewhat faster
than the mean ofthe season in November and
through December, with temperature below
the mean; tolerable steady weather through
January with temperature below the mean !;
winter will continue through February, fol.
lowed by cold March.
We shall be aattered by the prospect of
spring during few days about the middle
of April, while Mercury is about passing its
inferior conjunction with the SUI, but this
will soon pass away, and the weather or
temperature, sink below the average ofthe sea.

cool droughts will likely prevail ..over large

These abnormal irregularities of the seasons
of 1870 must affect the crops in many anC

ANNA CAROLLA.
From London Argosy.

A groop of girls stood at the stage door
of the Grand Opera House, in Vienna, talk
! ing or exchanging words with the other en-
ployees who passed in, keeping the while a
sharp lookout for the manager. One of the
| chorus singers, a young and beautiful Italian
girl standing just within the extreme en-.
trance, with her mantle wrapped close
about her throat, suddenly remarked:
'We must sing our best tonight for the

'One of the band, answered Anna Carolla
quietly. Carl Rosenfeldt. There he comes
with his violin

approached tall handsome young Hungar-
ian, who paused to answer the girls eager
inquiry. Had he said the Emperor was
| comingp
'Yes; the Imperial Guards have just pass
ed by to take up their place at the grand
entrance. The house will be crowded.
Then passing inside, he stopped to whis-

eyes, Anna, lead the violins to o-night-

She put her hand in his, with the
sweet, perfect trust of one who knows she is

my heart must be glad.

outside, THE manager and the chiei
d'orchestra. Away =
The new leader of the band hurried ny as
the chorus trooped in, and Anna CArolls
followed them into their dressing room
There she soon donned her stage dress, and
slipped away to watch the house filling, and
above all, to hear every note of the exquis
ite overture to 'Oberon,
How fast every place was filling from flool
to the gallery The auditorium was one
blaze of splendor; and as she gazed, the
poor, friendless chorus singer-whose dra
matte talent and splendid voice ought, if sh,

place her high in the lyric stage wonder

TWO DAYS.
BY LUCRECE.

Once when my heart for gladness
Made songs my lips should voice,
| scoffed at grief and sadness
| bade the world rejoice.
The very birds Knocked with glee
The trees | censured laughingy
To leaf and blade cried, "A shade
Of deeper green put on for me y
10 bud and flower | said The hour
Hath come for richer pageantryi
Put on new bloom ! and not content
With all the splendid sea could show,
Along the windy shore went,
And sang of mountains capped with snow.
Not leaf nor flower nor bird could yield
A symbol for my joyous heart.
| saw the reapers all a-fed
From out the grass the sparrow start
The distant hills, the breezy down -
| heard the church-bells of the town,
And turning to the sacred spire,
| smiled and murmured, Higher, higher
| My heart doth go Ny soul doth know,
sweeter bliss than thou canst show
The heaven thou reachest to in vain
Is here in me The cross, the pain,
The burden thou dost lift above,
Are naught to my triumphant love
What need have | of thee or thine ?
My Love is mine, my Love is mine =
From out stormy sky there came
Gods radiant bow and dewy wet,
The earth rare odors seemed to raise
! In pearly mists, until the flame
OF crimson sunset joined in praise
| Of Him whom had dared forget.
But homeward vending slowly
l sang with happier voice,
The sad, the proud, the lowly,
l bade them all rejoice,
year the harvest bringing
Laughed sea and plain and hill
The world with joy was singing
My voice alone was still
The sandy shore as silver shone;
Pink shells along the beach were strewn;
To me it seemed, like opals cleaned
The beaten spray-wreathes strandward blown
Then far, then near, now faint, now clear,
In gentle, tender monotone,
The sea, the wind, the birds, the leaves,
Kept singing as mother Sings
Of sweet, unutterable things,
A comforting to one who grieves,
o generous Nature Type of Him
Who, Knocked, doth never mock again
Thou smlest not that our eyes are dim,
But taking to Thy heart our pain,
Dost offer us Thy gracious breast,
Brim full of cheering sympathy,
Until we know that grief is best,
Sent unto US by Him through Thee
Then swift and still along the hill
The sunset shadows had their will
And in the mellow, dying day,
The reapers homeward took their way
While DER the stubbe, softly brown,
Floated the church-chimes of the town.
| turned to gaze. A cross of fire
Burned on that heavenward-pointng spire
From out that stormy grief there came
God S bow of promise and gave
Her body up,-no longer mine.
But mingled in one holy flame,
Our spirits rose to the Divine,
When low | knelt beside her grave.
And in the twilight lonely,
With brow barred to His sky,
