of the Pennsylvania Constitutional
Amendment Association, held at Hun.

ton is the m Ost absolutely outspoken
church against intemperance, and that
its members are the best temperance
people in America" Whether this
statement, made by Mrs Annie Witten-
meyr, is true or not, it is certain that
the church referred TO, consisting OF
over one hundred and thirteen thousand
members, is in the front rank of tenn
perance workers. In one respect ii sets
a noble EXAMPLE TO other churches.
co turaT abstinence olicn an opngatTon
ought to be embodied in the covenant
of every church. And if ii is not en-
bodied there, there is all the more need
why in the Sabbath school, and among
Individual members of congregations,
there should be such pledge circulated
and subscribed. The time will come
when church covenants, or other sum-
maries Of ecclesiastical obligations,
will no more omit this duty of total alb.
stinence than other kindred moral
duties now universally enioined.-

AGOOd RetOrf.

A temperance discussion once sprung
up in large coach crossing the AL
leghenies, and the subject was handled
without gloves. One gentleman main
tanned a stoical silence until he could
endure it no longer; then he broke out
strongly, saying, "Gentlemen, | want
you to understand that am liquor
seller. i keep Il public house, but l
would have you to know that have a
license, and keep q decent house. !
don't keep loafers and loungers about
my place, and when man has enough
he can get no more at my bar. ] sell
TO decent people, and do respectable
business" When he had delivered
himself he seemed to think he had put
a quietus 10 the subject, and that no
answer could be given. Not so though i
Quaker, who was one of the company.
Said he: "Friend, that is the most damn.
ing part of thy business. If thee
would sell to drunkards and loafers
thee would help to kill off The race, aud
society would be rid of them but thee
lakes the young, the poor, the innocent,
and the unsuspecting, and makes drunk
ards OF them. And when their charac-
tee and money are gone thee kicks them
o6t. and tnrns them over to other shops
to snish oil; and thee ensnares others
and sends them on the same road to
riua." Surely the Quaker had the best
of the argument, for he had the facts on
his side The more respectable and
any public house is the great
err the mischief il is able to do in any
decent community.

YOU wish to turn horn up, scrape on
the under side. a very barbarons way
to turn horn is sometimes practicej
by soaring with hot iron on the side
toward which the horn is to be turned
This prevents the growth of the
horn on that side and the growth
