Within the last six months, says a
Japan correspondent of The Congrega-
tionalist, marvellous change toward
Christianity has taken place in Japan.
"The largest theatres" he writes, Hare
too small to hold the thousands that
gather to hear preaching that is carried
on entirely by native Christians. The
newspapers have entered the lists, and
while some are for choking down, by
fair means or foul, this cursed way,
Others are boldly siding with the new
religion as the only hope for the coun-
try. Buddhism and Shintoism, too,
are at last aroused TO their danger, and
have not only begun their mass meet,

polemic tracts, which, of course, serve

The st. Adams Messenger has Il let
ter written by the proprietor of ii tenn
perance hotel in Springfield, one of the
largest and most thriving towns i'll the
state, relative to the situation there i'll
st. Adams. Coming from man who
is supposed to know what he is talking
about, it will he read with interest
have studied with care and great
interest the movement i'll favor of the
prohibitory law for the last 20 years,
and am confident that nothing perma
nent will he accomplished i'll this di-
rectiOn until some man or body of men
in each town, be it large or small, are
willing to make some sacrifices i'll Sc
curing it. In some places
where the hotels have been closed, the
great cry has been that there was no
provision for the travelling public, and
so the weaker of the so-called temper
ance men and others would come to
consider the hotel an interest para
mount to all others. In my humble
opinion no town will he secure from
this, unless the men who are active
i'll enforcing the law see to it that some
place is provided to accommodate the
public. My house is not
large, il is old, but for almost IL years
| have kept it without selling or Civ
ing away, under any circumstances,
anything that could intoxicate and
only mention this tn indicate how |
may know whether man can keep
such house tn be of some advantage
to himself and meet the wants of traV-
elers. Not one man iii hundred,
whose money is worth getting, cares
for more than IA thoroughly clean
house, a good bed and few kinds of
food well cooked and properly served.
Any man with the same tact
and industry given to other business,
can keep a public house without liq-
uor, get good living, and i'll most in
stances make some money. | came
here with very little means, now own
my house and hope to keep it until
some one wants it, to conduct it on
the same plan.
1t is always we'll, in making up oae's
mind upon Il principle, to note the class
of men who are opposed to it. A prin-
ciple, like man, may be known by its
enemies, as truly as by its friends. The
enemies of prohibition, the friends of
license, marshal as one wing of their
army such men as Falstaff pressed into
service when he unlOaded the gibbets,
gathered prodigals from swine herding,
the cankers of a calm world and long
peace. The vultures of society, that
fatten on virtue, the owls of society
that fly by night, the men who love
darkness rather than light, the Grimm
al, debauched, dissolute, all these will
vote for license by a natural affinity.

Paiterning after Mother.

Oliver Crosby was Il youth sixteen
or eighteen years of age. He was the
Youngest of IA large family of children.
From very early life he manifested
unusual seusibility and tenderness on
the subject of religion, and the friend
whom lac made his principal counselor,
and to whom he ever unbOsOmed his
feelings on this subject with the utmost
freedom. was his own dear mother.
One day he was reading some work
on education, and his mother was sit
ting near him. At length he stopped,
and, addressing himself to her, said
Mother, you do not know how much
You have been Udtched. When | was
small, used To watch you i'll every
thing YOU did, so as to see what it was
right for me to do. II | ever wanted
to do anything that | thought might

to find what goa thought of it and if
you approved, always felt safe in do

that you had everything to do about

saw me do things that were wrongf"
IL knew" replied the son, ''that you
used to say that you were sinner,
like other people but | used to think
that everything was right that you did.
could not believe that mother did
ANYTHING that was wrong"
The effect of these remarks on the
IL IL.
almost overwhelming. She was ready
tn give herself up to bitter weeping
when she found how great her intu-
ence over her children had been, and
how little she had realized it. "Had |
only known she said, chat | was
OUserred IN this iOdy, how differently |
should have felt, especially when in
dulging i'll feelings that were wrong "
And yet, there are few mothers whose
feelings were more uniform, and whose
influence was more salutary, or who
have Witnessed greater blessings on
their children.
1t is II most solemn truth that, in
most cases. children do pattern after
their parents, and especially their mother !
DO parents generally realize this Do
they think that they are IUdtched in all
their words ana actions, Ill all Uhelf
intercourse with each other and the
world, and in all their conduct towards
their children Do they remember
that even what is lCrORg in them will
he seen by their children, and be re-
garded and copied as proper and right 7
How can parent think of this subject
and not, like this mother, be over
whelmed, and ready to exclaim: "Who
is sufficient for these things I" But
there are most precious promises to
encourage the pious parent. "My
grace" says the Saviour, lis sufficient
for thee" "As thy day, so shall thy
strength be-" eff any of you lack
wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth
To all men literally and npbraideth not,
and it shall he given him. Rev. Asa
Billiard, in COngregationalist.

says Mother is always scolding," will

MAGIC OF A KISS.

81 have brought your dinner, father"
The blacksmith's daughter said,
As she took from her arms a kettle
And she lifted its shining lid:
There's not any pie or pudding,
So will give you this"
And upon his to'l-worn forehead,
She left a childish kiss.
The blacksmith tore off his apron.
And dined in happy mood,
Wondering much at the SAVIOR
Hid in his humble food:
While all about him We're visions
Full of prophetic bliss,
But be never thought Of the magic
In his little daughters kiss.
While she, with her kettle swinging,
Merrily trudged away,
Stopping at sight of squirrel,
Catching some wild birds lay:
And Thought how many a shadow
Of life aud fate we should miss
If always our frugal dinners
Were seasoned with "A Kiss.
