1 am pleased to learn that we are to have
Musical Society in our city with its doors
open to all singers who can read music with
fair state of proficiency. In times past. such
propositions have frequently been made to
the public. but on investigation it has proved
quite otherwise; as the music selected for
practice has been of that classical style and
except few who had attained high standard
of musical culture and were able to cope
with the most difficult. Another hindrance
to success has been the too often habit of in
viting only .'our kind to join the class.
While we all have the undoubted right to
choose our favorite associates, | fail to see
any good reason why singers, like other peo-
pie, cannot meet together for mutual benefit
without keeping alive the little petty jeal
ousies that may arise among the members of
a choir or elsewhere. One thing further, is
it not incumbent upon our religious societies
and other organic atoms to so arrange their
several meetings that our musical people can
have one evening in the week for the practice
of music? We expect themt to serve us upon
the Sabbath and on all other occasions when
their services may be called for. and certain
ly il is necessary that they have some oppor-
tunitv to prepare themselves in this
very interesting and essential department.
If these hints hastily penned may in any way
attract the attention of our music loving
community and serve to quicken the pulse in
the direction of general improvement in
church and secular mnsic. the object of the
writer will be fully attained AMATEUR.

much zeal as ever before.-There is about

for the promotion of temperance ! am happy
to extend to such representative men special
congratulations for their presence, and to
thank them in behalf of the State. tor What
they have been able to accomplish towards
its moral and material advancement
It is also q source of congratulation
that, following in their footsteps there are so
many worthy representatives OF earlier man.

Younger in years. and full Of enthusiasm. all
equally devoted To principle, and preparing
to fll the places of those earnest workers.
who in the course of few years must r. linz
ouish active efforts towards establishing TEN.
perance and good morals in our State. l
extend to you, young men and women, IN
behalf of the State, the right hand OF fellow
ship. and bid you God speed in your noble
endeavors to serve the best interests OF socie-
ty. BY securing temperance. sobriety, virtue
and order, as the essential elements OF
prosperous State.
Intemperance inflicts great evil and sad con-
sequences primarily upon the individual, and
afterward, thereby, society suffers lnnumrrd-
bic wrongs and burdens. The enornry OF
the evils Of intemperance cannot be measured
by words. Could we summon a statement
of the sad consequences that have Resulted TO
society in a single year even IN our State, from
a wrong use of spiritueus liquors, II would
be a story of cruelty and wrong that would
arouse the sympathy of every intelligent
citizen. 1t is this fact that brings together
the best men and women of our State
for the purpose OF consulting in regari TO the
best methods of a, erting and suppressing so
gigantic an evil. Government is wisely
Instituted for the purpose of protecting not
only the individual citizen, but unlvers a
society. Whatever impairs material personal
obligations and duties, general usefulness,
and is destructive to the welfare of the
communitv demands the attention OF the
citizen. and should be subjected to the con-
trolling law and its consequences. Such
constitutional legal acts and restrictions
should be passed and enforced as will
effectuallv, or as far as possible, remove the
cause of such disabilities. The evils of rum
selling and drinking are deplorable. They
are the prime cause of crime and poverty.
Our jals and prisons are filled thereby, our
poor-houses and charitable institutions
crowded, and the burdens of tax
alton increased and multiplied. This
is tie reason that the public sentiment
of our State should be enlisted and thorough
" aroused. Every good citizen should place
his shoulder to the wheel and assist in sus-
tanning temperance men and women in their
efforts for the promotion of temperance and
good morals in our State.
Gentlemen and ladies': Once more wish
you God-speed, and in your endeavors you
shall have my hearty cooperation.

Gov. Robes Remarks.
BEroRK THE STATE TEMPERANCE CoNvEN.
rioN, JANUARY 24ru.

thank you for the honor conferred upon
me, BY the invitation of your committee, to
preside over q convention of the temperance
men and women of our State. l congratu-
late you that so large and influential ar as.
sembly has convened under such favorable
circumstances; l trust that you may be able
to effect much towards promoting and advanc-
ing the interests of the temperance cause. It
always affords pleasure and satisfaction to the
friends of temperance to listen to the remarks
made by the pioneers of the temperance
movement, whose memory goes back to the
early period of active engagement in this
work of reform, and who can furnish from per
sonal observation, data and facts in regard to
the early struggles Of the temperance cause,
half century ago, and are able to compare
faithfully its condition then with that of the
present time they can conclusively prove the
wonderful change that has taken place in
public sentiment in favor of temperance
and efficient laws for its promotion.
There are but few of the temperance men and
women Of Maine who had enlisted in the SER
vice fifty years ago, who live to tell the story
Of their past experience. Many who were
on:e eloquent in words and persuasion,
efacient and enthusiastic in DUTY,
who carried the banner fearlessly aioft.
midst opposition and criticism, no longer
epeak by personal presence, but have gone to
enjoy the reward Of their unselfsh lives. Let
us At all times cherish the memory of the
fathers Of the temperance movement, 'sfor
their works do follow them"
