HOME VIGILANCE.

The preaching of temperance alone will not
establish habits of temperance. If we could
but secure higher moral tone in the COM
munity. there would be but little need of
preaching temperance at all. 1t would fall
into its natural place the fruit of the spirit,
of which Paul speaks
We watch the tender plants as they develop;
we move them from too much heat or too
much cold; we give them light, air, and re-
freshing water. 1t gladdens our hearts to
see them growing. This plant will come to

perfection we says this vine we give the
opportunity to fulfill all the capabilities OF It's
nature; it has its own peculiar turn, and we
help it to grow in grace and beauty
Are the little human plants reared as ten

watched? Do we turn their young souls sun

kindly sympathy their natures crayeg DO
we teach them by precept as well as by ex-
ample, making them love to do right because
it is right, patiently convincing them of error,
and with loving commentator encourage
them in acts of forgiveness and self-denial !

perfection; that they may bear the fruit OF
the spirit love, joy, peace, long-suffering,
gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, tenn

WENDELL PHILLIPS.

He stood upon the worlds broad threshold; wide
The din of battle and of slaughter rose;
He saw God stand upon the weaker side,
That sank in seeming loss before its foes:
Many there were who made great haste and sold
Unto the cunning enemy their swords,
He scorned their gifts of fame, and power, and
gold,
And, underneath their soft and fowery words,
Heard the cold serpent hiss; therefore he went
And humbly joined him to the weakest part,
Fanatic named and fool, yet well content
So he could be the nearer to Gods heart,
And feel its solemn pulses sending blood
Through all the widespread veins OF endless
good. james Russell L0tceu.

BAND OF HOPE.

When we think Of the startling fact that
zone boy in ten becomes drunkard," is it
strange that the Woman's Christian Temper
ance Unions throughout the land deem the
temperance school the most important part Of
their work? where the children are taught
the nature and effects of alcoholic drinks,
stimulants and narcotics upon the human sys-
tenn?
Parents should recognize that there are
greater temptations to drink placed before
their children than ever before, there the
great need of q temperance school in every
community. Every father who now is or
ever has been victim of drink can readily
understand how much easier it will be to ed
ucate his son not to touch the poison than to
cure him after he has become drunkard.
The wives and mothers have cried, sHow
long, O Lord, how long!" but under the ne
cessities of the hour have chosen another
text, Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do do
it with thy might"
Mrs. E. I. Scott has organized a temper
ance school in our midst and with hearts and
hands we have taken hold of the children's
work, therefore we urge the parents to think
of this matter and do oil they can to help us
to save their children from the foe they fear
the most. We invite them to come to the
lecture room of the Methodist Episcopal
church every Saturday afternoon to see how
we can learn to help one another in this all
important work.

WooDsrowN, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 8, 1884

This second number of the MONITOR comes
to YOU under different circumstances from the
first. That was shrouded in doubt; it was
preceded by no sounding trumpet. Some
even expressed disbelief that it would ever see
the light. but it came and number two is the
logical sequence, to be followed by number
three and SO on, for the MONITOR has come
to stay.
This paper is not intended to be an ephem-
eral Notwithstanding before the eyes of
the public and vanishing into oblivion but
it is designed as one of the FIXTURES of Woods
town.
Its publishers are impressed with the idea
that there is place for it here and work for
it to do, albeit it seeks to interfere with the
place or work of none other And so, to fill
that place and do that work we address our
selves and ask the assistance of every sober
minded, right-thinking, God-fearing member
of the community.
We have no especial or particular standard
of merit for the paper except to make each
number the very best possible for us to make
it under the existing circumstances. We ex-
pect to make some mistakes, because we are
mortal. We expect criticism, because our
readers our human but we shall endeavor to
profit as much as possible from the criticisms
and avoid in future the mistakes pointed out,
provided always the criticism is honest and
the mistake proven to be such.
And now we knock at the door of each
home in Woodstown and vicinity. We would
like the privilege of keeping steady company
with you and yours for year We seek to
become acquainted with you and do you
good. Will you receive us? Our price for
our weekly visit is one dollar for one year.
If you choose to join company with us the
first three months, until we are fairly intro
duced, it will cost you for the year but fifty
cents.
We expect to 60 into 500 families each
week whether subscribed for or not. Is there
any message you wish us to carry for you
concerning your business or profession? Your
wants or ability to supply other peoples
wants? Some call it advertising. Can we
do any of it for you? Our terms are reason
able and the message goes direct.
If in any of these ways we can serve you
if you wish our weekly visits; if you wish us
to be the bearer of any message from you to
your neighbors, you have but to drop card
to Yours truly,

MULLICA HILL.


On Sunday night last, Major Scott delivered
a temperance lecture in the Baptist church
to the largest audience that was ever gathered
in any place in our town. The church was
filled to OVERLOOKING platform and aisles,
and the stairways were crowded, until the
house was uncomfortable. Quite number
took seats in the basement below, and very
many went away, unable to get seats any
where. There were at least 500 persons
present, and the speaker held his large
audience spell-bound by his thrilling descrip-
ton of the terrible evils of intemperance.
The lecture was under the auspices of the
w. G. T. U.
The major will continue o series of four
lectures in the various churches of our town
this week, as follows:
Friends meeting house, Thursday evening,
February 7th.
Episcopal church, Friday evening, Febru-
airy 9Th.
Baptist church, Saturday evening, Febru-
airy 9th.
Methodist Episcopal church, Sunday even
ing, February 10th.
The public school entertainment of last
Saturday night was grand success, the town
hall being filled to excess. VAsTUs.

WENDELL PHILLIPS.

Wendell Phillips has done his work and
gone to meet his account. Nor should the
death Of such man be let pass without notice
generally, by the local as well as metropolitan
press.
He died at his home in Boston on the even
ing of the I'd inst. at the ripe age Of about
seventy three years. He was character
which history will record and preserve the
details of, and which viii grow upon the hori-
zon Of the worlds vision as the years go by,
as long perhaps as American institutions con-
tinue to exist What he believed he had the
courage to say and, If needs De, was willing
to suffer for it. He believed that slavery was
wrong by both the laws of nature and of God
and he told the world from first to last that he
so believed While multitudes were silent
from policy or interest his influence was
steadily and uniformly against it. A few
stood with him, but the masses for years were
on the other side, perhaps not at heart, but in
words and votes. Right, however, finally
triumphed and the grand old man went of
the stage leaving the flag of freedom floating
over every foot of the soil of his country
Another irrepressible conflict" is now
upon the country and we need just such men
as he was to lead in it. It was then between
the slave olgarchy and freedom 1t is now
between the rum oligarchy and the misrule
that it implies and entails on the one hand,
and sobriety, humanity and justice on the
other hand.
This conflict will also go on till the rum
curse shall be put down. If it were matter
wholly private to the individual it might be
left to moral suasion and the individual tc
correct it. But it is not. 1t is a matter
which takes hold upon society at every turn
and corner. Like slavery it is provided fol
by law. Like slavery it enslaves men and
women. Like slavery it breaks up families
and dooms children to premature toll and
scanty fare. Like slavery it degrades women
into the most mental service.
American society under the blazing light
of our advancing christian civilization will not
rest with this plague spot on its homes stat
ute books and its pocket books.
Rum, like slavery, must go.

We have recently printed at this Office the
minutes of the Tenth Annual Convention of
the Women's @. T. Union Of New jersey"
q pamphlet of ninety-six pages, replete with
valuable information Statistical and other
wise} concerning the doings Of this most
praiseworfhy Organization. We have always
believed that woman was destined to become
an important Gin some senses the most import
anD factor in the great work of Kidding So
ciety of its worst foe-that of strong drink.
In reading these minutes we have had that be-
lief, 80 long and SO strongly entertained,
greatly intensified. And why not She GER
tainly is the greatest sufferer from this &C
cursed foe to the peace, good order and hap
piness of society. While her rougher and
physically stronger brother has been SUI
ferer, she has been still greater one, from
the fact that she suffers innocently while
upon his conscience and hands rests the blood
guiltiness of this monstrous curse, because to
him, and him alone (unhelped by his gentler
and tenderer companion) is to be traced its
devilish origination, its criminal fostering and
it's fnghtful and accursed entailment We
have no words to express our admiration of
this noble band of self-sacrifcing, christian
mothers, wives and sisters in their holy cru
SADIE against this sin-hoary disturber and de-
stroyer of their joys-this frightful source of
woes innumerable. And we are glad to re-
cord that though the task imposed is her
culean (unjust and cruel because mans legit-
innate work. this more than Spartan and
heaven-inspired band is proving fully equal
to it.
We earnestly invite all the readers of the
GAZETTE to procure a copy of the Minutes y
of this memorable convention and carefully
study its contents. 1t is all good and good in
euery sense. In eloquence, in earnestness in
christian spirit and true modesty, in the noble
record of marvellous achievement, and in the
bright and ever-brightening hope illuminat-

And especially do we urge upon all chris

nomination or class in the several counties
of our state, where the branches of this fruit
full tree of life shall reach, to lend helping

applicant for license. & Good morning,
neighbor.
Neigh5or. Good morning, sir.
A. for LII would like your name to my
paper. have eleven names of the most re-
putable citizens in town and lack just one
more, SO thought would ask yours to COM
plete the requisite number.
Neigh6or. What is your application for?
A. for Lob, just for license to sell
liquor.
NeigA6or. TO sell liquor! Then that means
to give you legal protection to ruin my boys?
A. for L.-Oh, not your boys! hope
your boys don't drink-just general license
to sell-you know people will drink.
Neigh5or. then, to sell to my neigh
bors' boys? Is that fulfilling the golden
rule-Doing to others as you would have others
do to you?
A.. for We'll, you know man must
make living.
Neighbor.-True, but is it essential that
others should be ruined in order that you
should have livelihood?
A. for Lob, but hope nothing SO seri-
Gus as that will occur. / don't want to ruin
anyone. People ought to know when to
drink and when to let it alone.
Naigh6or. but just such results DO
follow, always. Did not William Jones and
Samuel Smith and Lawyer Van Notes son,
and young DIR. Wall, all die last year from
excessive drinking, and that too at your bar ?
A. for We'll, yes, believe that did
help them off, But will be careful nothing
Of that kind occurs again.
Neigh6or To be plain, can't sign your
license. can't trust you. What you have
done, you'll do again. And then were you
not to sell drop to my boys (Which / doubt
you would sell to my neighbors' boys, and by
signing your application, I'd help you in the
work of their ruin / can't do it. Then
again, think you'd better find other bust
ness. You can't permanently prosper, for
your business violates your own conscience,
is harmful to the community, and is accursed
of God. "Woe be unto him who putteth
the bottle to his neighbours lips, that maketh
him drunken" In short, can't sign your
application. To do SO would be to give you
the right to sell to my neighbors' boys and
this would involve the right upon their part
to sign, giving you the right to sell to my
boys, and I could not complain. Then again,
to be plain, have made up my mind to never
again sign liquor application or to vote for
a man who will SO sign. The whole business
is nuisance and he who sells is public
nuisance, as he renders to society no equiva-
lent for the money expended. You must
look elsewhere for your twelfth man. can't
stain my hands with blood and especially
with innocent blood. And only hope you
will fail in your application, or if you do not,
at least fail in your business. Good morn
ing.

TEA AND COFFEE AT NIGHT.

The use of tea at night is another very
mixed question. II your nerves are fatigued,
tea will often make you sleep but if you are
over-excited it will keep you restless and
awake. As rule most late workers are in
the habit of slipping tea. Many do not find
that it Injuries their sleep, and suppose that
most doctors would agree that, if this is the
case, tea for the student is far better than al
cohol in any shape. These remarks also ap-
ply to coffee. Black coffee in hot countries
seems to be the great panacea for all the woes
of life. 1t apparently suits some late students
and business men better than tea in times Of
pressure, and it is certainly superior to any
form of alcohol. A head clerk in one of the
largest offices in London told me that during
a fortnight of commercial panic, when all the
employees were kept working overtime, most
of them took to stimulants. My friend said
II foresaw what was coming, and when the
crisis arrived I cut off all alcohol and substi.
tuted coffee At the end of the fortnight
most of my colleagues were used up, but
was as fresh as bird p London Iruth
