Progress.

Temperance is making great
progress in England. The last is
sue of the Gazette shows that LIQUOR
sellers are failing in larger numbers
than any other traders; so per cent.
more than grocers or builders, and
IN the proportion of twelve to one
OF bakers. When we read that
"seven London taverns of the an
proximate value of over 10000 Of
tered for sale on one day Last week
not one was sold, all of them being
either bought in or withdrawn ;
that not long since an hotel that
cost e32, 900, only brought an offer
at auction Of 1880; that there
are thirty public houses within
half mile Of Liverpool Custom
House closed, and tenants cannot
be found to go in for nothing, as it

my credit, you may sell my young
son all the liquor you please or that
you can persuade him to buy, and
In this traffic the whole weight of
my influence will be on your side ?"
II one father cannot consistently
make such a bargain, how could
twenty or five hundred or a hun
dred thousand? And if the pa
rents of our lads cannot with safe
~ make such bargain individu-
ally, how can they do it collective
" as body polite? Surely what
is right in one instance is also
right IN the other, and if father
