Resolutio adopted at the Mass Conven-
ton of the State Womans Christian Temper
ance Union in Biddeford, Feb. 4 and 8:
Giving thanks to our Heavenly Father for
His abundant blessings upon our lsoors, ana
rejoicing that we have been called into this
xinevard. We seek His continued guidance,
and 20 forward, finding that the SUBJECTS we
should especially emphasize BY the resoiu-
tons of this convention, are the following:
I. Because the liquor traffic and drinking
cu.ton,s are wrong. and contrary to the law
Of Christ, we solicit the interest and aid OF all
christian men and women in the temperance
reform.
H. We invite the christian women OF our
State to examine the methods Of the W. c.
r. L., and to prayerfullv ask themselves II
they can aid the reform in any better way
than by joining this organization.
III. To bring up the children untainted ny
drink is an object worthy Of our unsparlng de-
votion. We welcome Juvenile organizations
when practicable, and persistent effort to es-
tsblisb regular Bible Temperance lessons in
the Sunday schools; and scientific temper
ance instruction in the public school system.
". We rejoice that the power OF young
women has begun to be exerted in the Chris-
tan Temperance Unions, and we bid their
movement hearty God-speed.
V. Regarding alcohol in the communion
Gun as an unmixed evil, which should be
abolished with the least possible delay, we
urge our State Committee. appointed at the
annual meeting, to promptly bring TINS sue,
;ect IN the attention of all State, county, and
local conferences, believing that few reilg-
ions bodies will be willing to put on record q
refusal to Danish fermented wine; ana We
recommend local Unions to present the SUD-
iect to churches, and all friends of Temper
snce to enter their protest by words or silent
action against intoxicating drinks at the
Lords table.
VI. Remembering the untold misery which
has been the fruit of all intoxicating drinks,
prescribed as medicine, we urge mothers ana
all heads Of families to more thought ana
study in regard to this matter, and to the EN-
nloyment Of temperance Doctors rs far - pos,
s;hle and We would also invite the medical
profession to study the happy results OF non
Alcoholic treatment, ~ shown, OF late years
in regard to the London Temperance Hos
VII. We are grieved that SO many Of the
religious and Temperance papers insert adver-
tisemeuts Of such notorious intoxicants ~
Hop Bittcrs and Jamaica Ginger.
VIII. While the rescuing Of fallen men ana
women, must ever deeply appeal to our sym
n.th;ee. We urge each of our auxiliiaries 70
keep in hand some branch OF the vaster work
Of pysssntion, and pursue il With unnaeglng
faith and patience.

Cslby University Notes.


Term commenced the 5th, but hardly half
of the students were present. Since. howev-
er. they have been gradually returning, al
most every day bringing one or more stray
glers back to the Campus.-rhis long winter
vacation would almost seem to be waste of
precious time. rs of course it continues
through one of the most favorable scasons of
the year for study. But many of the BOYS
are largely dependent upon their own exer-
tons for their stay here at college, and dur
ing this vacation obtain the wherewit hal to
remain the rest OF the year. The officers Of
the college, are, however, understood to favor
a change as soon As the students are ready
for it. The vacation affords good Opportu-
nifty for those not otherwise engaged, to do
large amount of reading. That this was the
intention of many is attested by the large
number of books drawn from the
library just before observation-disclosures
Robins made a visit to Brookline, Mass,
and occupied the Baptist pulpit there
one Sabbath.-Prof. Smith, with his wife,
made a trip southwark to Washington, ID. G..
They visited Holyoke and Cambridge. Mass,
while away.-Prof. Hall remained in Water
vile all winter, busying himself in the libra

teachers. some obtained supplies as ministers,
while others, in default of a better took up
the canvassing business. These latter did
not meet with very fiattering success. Very
few cleared expenses, while some lost quite
heavily. GU.

To HIS E1celieney the Governor of Maine:
At regular meeting of the Woman's

Of our society be extended to you, for the
thoughtful recognition, in your message, of the
work Of our Maine women, in the temperance
cause
During the five years past We have labOred
constantly and persistently, not that we might
win for ourselves, words Of commentator, but
because we have felt the principles for which
we contended we're just and true, and we have
hoped to create a stronger sentiment in favor
Of the cause. Your endorsement of our ef-
forts will seem to give them added dignity and
claim to the favorable regard of the people
of our State, and you will be followed BY the
gratitude of many earnest hearts whose SYM
pathes are enlisted in our woman's temper
ance movement.
Most respectfully,

Story or u Parrot.

1t was named Jane. Whether the
sex warranted tho feminine appellatiye
do not know, but by It's ability to han
die language should think it was all
right. 1t came from Mexico, with the
) family, and could only talk Spanish ut
first, but soon learned the English lam
guage. She was larger than ordinary
"a bright green with n red tail, and
very vain was she of that ornament.
Her command Of language was wonder
full. :.
When her cage was hung by the win
dow she would collect a crowd Of boys
by crying "Flre, firo"; then change to
"CharcoaP'-preclsely like tho ycnder
then suddenly say, in conversation
al tone, "Mow boys, run to school do :"
When the door bell rang, Jane would
hop to the balustor and call out to
the visitor, "Johnny isn't home! Call
again." Or familiary remark, ooh
Is it your"
She would learn street songs, and try
patiently by the hour to get the tune
and words. sat In another room one
day and heard her try to sing ".Up in a
balloon, boys, up!"-then she got stuck,
when she exclaimed, ,pettishly, ,"Shaw -
Then she tried 1t again, and again, till
she got the two verses right, upon
which she barked and crowned, and
went through whole vocabulary In
her triumph and delight.
When the daughter was old enough
to 90 to school, Jane would say to her
after breakfast, Come, Eva, get ready
O'Clock nowr'
She would go to the side of her mis-
'ress's bed In the morning, and say,
Get up It's late. Pm very hungry !"
She was very fond OF babies. so her
mistress made her rag-doll. 1t was
very droll to hear her baby-talk, imi-
tating her mistress's tone and language
very accurately. She would let no
stranger touch the doll, but was dcligh-
ted If tho family noticed 1t. She insis-
ted upon learning her lessons with Eva,
when the latter was old enough to stu
dy them at home. She would repeat
the sufllxes and prctlxcs after her glib
ly, and annoyed her 80 much that she
would have to be shut In another room,
when she wonl still spell, Shirley.
There was a small party assembled at
the house one evening. Jano was worry
shy, and refused to say a word but
after a momentary silence In the room,
broke forth with. "Oh how funny :"
ending with such a jolly rollicking
laugh that we all joined heartily in.
