TEMPERANCE.

When Temperance is imprinted
and engrsfted az our motto, upon
our every act and deed, we find
ourselves surrounded by pure, re-
freshing atmosphere. Our thoughts
are serious, our acts polite. the
world beneficial. and, in short, we,
unrestrained, soar aloft to pene-
trate aad mediate upon the un-
fathomable depths of Heaven. II
we would love our homes, and value
the virtue and integrity of our peo-
pie. we must. by all means, assume
Temperance as our Yatchword.
But how often, when We come in
contact with men of low and grove!.
ing dispositions, do we suffer our
own minds to become deteriorated
by the sickening efauyia arising
from their sphere, until, at last, it
brushes all the finer feelings of our
nature. Bnt nonsense; have we
not all minds of our own, and do
;. we not know tbs one thing to be
temperate, and another thing to
fall2" In youth. we must be care
ful to conduct ourselves in habits of
temperance and piety. before we
are encountered with cares, dis
tressed by sfiiction. or engaged in
the business pursuits Of life. This
--a2sss sfPRsRsE cultivation is the
source of so much evil. Men are
not born drunkards. but by evil as
sociations and surroundings are
made sc. They begin by taking Il
glass now ana then. claiming it
privilege to step into the bar-room
of q respectable hotel; but soon We
zee them venturing to the more
public place, inappropriately term

enslayed are they to the vice of in
temperance that we see them loiter-
