The Prayer-Meeting Magnet.

Make Christ the theme of the prayer
meeting. There is no other magnet
that can draw the people, and he al
ways draws. In every such gathering
there are burdened hearts, anxious
hearts, tempted hearts and only as
they find Jesus in his fellowship will
the burdens grow light, and peace
drive away fear. In every such circle
there are believers who are following
afar off, who have lost the glow of the
birth hour, and il Is vain to try to win
them back, and warm their hearts by
scolding and warning. But let every
moment of the hour bc fragrant with
the love of Il living Jesus; let burning
lips tell of his faithfulncss and power
let the prayer Ice love-whispers into
his ear let the songs be of cleansing
blood and the promises, and every
heart will bc moved and wal med, and
the place will seem like the veIy Gate
of heaven Such prayer meeting
will ever become Il necessity to each
believers life, us the daily meal is IA
necessity to the physical; and in sum
mcr a. in winter the place will he
throngrd, the power of the Holy Ghost
will he felt, and every department of
the church life win be sustained and
impcllcd forward to grand results, by
this weekly fellowship with Christ,
and this reunion of hearts in the Be
loved. TN. Y. Observer.

Temperance Taught in schools.

From Rev. L. I Chamberlain d. d. Norwich
The express purpose of the state III
establishing public schools, the one
. end which iustilieS her levying pro rata
taxes for their support, is to secure
good citizenship, such individual man
hood and womanhood as is the condi
ton of public well-bcing. But it is
conceded on every side that intemper-
ancc is the dcadliest foe of that same
good citizenship, the chief destroyer of
that very manhood and wOmanhOod.
The state establishes her system of
public instruction, the community
builds its schOOl-hOuseS, and intemper-
ancc does its utmost to prevent the
Z bod result 1t is, therefore, the die
tate of Sclfprcscrvation that the state
should seek to teach III her schools the
fundamental trdth concerning that al
coholic element through which intern
perancc comes. 1t is more than ii
right, it is duty. 1t is more than
simply prudent, it is truest wisdom. 1t
is opposing the evil at its source. 1t is
aiming ut the prevention of mischiets
whose actual Occur renee puts them be-
yond separation. 1t is craftsmanship.
1t is philanthropy in its highest sense.
The bill with some notifications be-
came law. This is the way Connec-
ticut proposes to settle this trouble
some temperance question. The con-
victions of the boy, backed by the au
ihOrity of the text book and the school,
are to be represented i'll the ballot of
the man. This is flank movement
ON the enemy. Fifteen years from he
day that instruction in the nature of
alcohol and its effects upon the drinker
is as thoroughly taught in their schools
as reading, writing and arithmetic
have been, the traffic in beer. gin, OF
whiskey will he no more debatable
than stealing or arson. What these
wise men think would be So good for
Connecticut would be equally desirable
for Vermont. Such legislation would
make this study universal would re
quirc teachers to he examined as to
ability to teach the same ; would lead
normal schools and other institutions
of higher learning where our teachers
are adequate to make it Il branch of
study, would put it into our teachers
conventions and institutes at one
stroke, would set existing machinery at
the work of training for the state
generation of intelligently sober citi-
zens. Is not that what we pay our
school taxes for Let Us then have
law that VII make the school houses
of Vermont sources of II correct public
sentiment on this alcohol question.

In regard to the appraisal of the real
estate of the town of GrotOn, one of
the towns mentioned, | will say that
its real estate of both classes is APP
praised for all it will sell for. l know
of some of the first class real estate in
said town which had been purchased
by George Melville from the town of
Barnet, land who is a good judge of
such property just before the apprais
al, which was appraised at just the
amount of the purchase money. | al
so know of other pieces of real estate
that have been sold since the appraisal
for considerable less than its appraised
value. ! further know of real estate
in the town of Barnet that was APP
praised at twenty-four hundred dol
lars, where the owner since the APP
praisal has refused about 5000 and
desires to sell. 1t is true that the APP
praisal of real estate in the town of
Groton did not increase the former
appraisal as much per cent as it did
in some other towns in the county,
for the reason that real estate in this
town was appraised at about all that
it ought to be at the last quadrennial
appraisal. The lister from the town
of Barnet at one time owned real es-
tate in the town of Groton, and for the
reason that said town had heavy
bonded debt and was burdened with
taxation was anxious to dispose of the
same at almost any price and did so.

Rurdette On Clothes.

Don't Judge man by his clothes.
Can You tell what circus is going to
be like, by looking at the Italian sun
set pictures on the fence ? Do you val
ne turkey for its plumage ? And
isn't the skin of the mink the most,
and, indeed, the only valuable part
about him There he men, fair to
look upon, who wander up and down
this country, and sit in the coolest
places on hotel piazzas, who are array
ed in fine linens and cardinal socks,
and who hold their hand over their
scarf pin when they want to see the
moonlight, who, unassisted and I'M
prompted, do not possess the discre-
ton to come in when it rains, and don't
know enough to punch hole i'll the
snow with an umbrella soft
snow at that, without any crust on it..
Now and then, son, before you are as
old as Methuselah, you will meet il man
who wears Il hat that is worth twice as
much as the head it covers. On the 9TH
er hand, don't fall into the error of be-
lieving that all the goodness, and hon
esty, and intelligence in the world goes
about in shreds and patches. We have
seen Il tramp dressed in more rags than
you could rake ont of the family rag
bag, and more dirt and hair on him
than would suffice to protect horse,
who would step up to the front door and
demand three kinds of cake, half il pie,
and then steal every movable thing in
the ward, kill the dog, choke up the
pump with sand, tramp on the pansy
bed and girdle the cherry trees because
he couldn't carry them away. Good
index to the man that is i'll them.

When you are alone, and wish to
have communion with God, you prob
ably begin with prayer Do so. But
sometimes YOU feel that you cannot
pray. Very well; do not try. Say, ~

cannot speak ! will hear Him speak
Get down the Bible read a Psalm, or
some precious portion of Holy Writ,
and after God has thus spoken to you
the conversation has begun. Gods
words will suggest heartwords with
which you can speak to the Most High.
If it does not do so, read again, till at
