The same old Lecture.

a variety of titles for the same old lee

'Ostler Joe.

1t is now given out as fact that Mrs.
James Brown Potter was not response
blefor the selection of the poem, "ostler
joe" the reading of which stirred up
society so completely. A correspondent
writes: II have it on the best author
ity that Secretary Endicott, Mrs. Endi-
colt and Secretary Whitney. having
heard her read "Ostler joe. Joined in a
request that she should give II, and
that she consented to 90 so with not
one misgiving that she was doing VIC
lence to good taste or good morals. 1t
must be admitted that she might have
chosen mere appropriate selection, so
far as the story Is concerned, but there
is not one line or sentence or syllable
in the poem to which the most fas-
tidious could object, and the offence is
at most nothing more than a harm
less indiscre ton. But the target was
fair, and there were a thousand arrows
ready poised to let fly, and as soon as
the word was given they shot out like
the ills from Pandora's Box, doing in
calculable injury to.an innocent and
defenceless woman. This treatment is
unfair, unjust, unkind. Mrs. Potter is
4 woman of good repute. Her standing
has never been impeached. By her
clever acting as an amateur she has
made nearly 500 900 for various worthy
enterprises of New York. She has not
done this without much commendable
industry. Honor to whom honor is
due. This attack on her is without
sufficient foundation. Take 1t home to
yourself. You must conclude she has
been treated with absolute cruelty, If
ut brutality. "-MirTor.

WE deplore any division in the
temperance ranks in this state. 1t
will be hazardous as it always is to
foster division. Much will be lost
by 1T. There is no necessity for il
in the world. We hope The rent al
Little Rock will be mended quick as
possible. To us it does not seem
necessary TO undertake just now a
third party. SO far the temperance
purposes and measures have been
admirably served without such, and
the temperance people so long as
public matters bend pliantly to then
sentiment and wisbes,ca well afford
to let the present order Of things re-
main in politics. 1t will be time
enough to organize separate and
apart when temperance desires can
not or will not be needed otherwise.
Under these circumstances temper
ance sentiment will chrystalize very
quickly in way TO compass Its
wishes. Without them the necessi-
ty does not exist, and the attempt to
rally will be futile. Certainly for
the sake of harmony and solid
front the enthusiasm of Jealous men
might be curbed just sufficiently to
come into line with the solid earnest
ness Of temperance sentiment in the
whole state. Leaders must not lead
too fast, and, if they are wise they
will not lead so as to break the solid
ity Of their forces. The temperance
sentiment of this state is solid for
the prohibition of the liquor traffic,
but it does not see its best methods
to bring it about by swinging of
into an independent prohibition par
ty. Not just yet. We hope to see
the action of the Alliance Conven-
ton at Little Rock reconsidered and
tue old status so far restored as TO
recognize all orders and organiza-
tions of temperance people, and re-
store the platform which was broad
enough for any and everybody with
a temperance banner in his hand to
stand upon and fight the liquor de-
mon.

THE FIRST PRAYER IN CONGRESS-. =
In Thatcher's Military Journal, un-
der date of December, l777, is found
note containing the identical first
prayer in congress-" made by the
Rev. Jacob Duche, a gentleman of
great eloquence. Here it is--an
historical curiosity:
o Lord; our Heavenly Father,
high and mighty king of kings, and
Lord of Lords, who dost from Thy
throne behold all the dwellers of the
earth, and reignest with power su-
prcme and uncontrolled over all the
king doms, empires and governments.
look down in mercy we beseech Thee,
on these American states, who have
fed to Thee from the rod of the op
pressor, and thrown themselves on
Thy gracious protection, desiring to
be henceforth dependent only on
Thee. To Thee they have appealed
for the righteousness of their cause;
to Thee they look up for that counte
nance aud support which Thou alone
canst give. Take them, therefore,
Heavenly Father, under Thy nurtur.
ing care.
Give them wisdom in council and
valor in the field. Defeat the ma
Iicious designs OF our adversaries;
convince them of the unrighteous-
ness of their cause; and If they still
persist in sanguinary purposes oh.
let the voice OF Thine own unerring
justice, sounding In their hearts,
constrain them to drop the weapons
oil war from their unneryed hands in
the day of battle. Be Thou present.
o God OF wisdom, and direct the
councils of this assembly. Enable
them to settle things on the best and
surest foundation, that the scene Of
blood may be speedily closed, aud
order, harmony and peace may be
efectually restored, and truth and
justice, religion and piety, prevail
and flourish among Thy people.
Preserve the health OF their bodies
and the vigor of their minds; shower
down upon them and the millions
they here represent, such temporal
blessings as Thou seest expedient
for them in this world, and crown
them with everlasting glory in the
world 60 come. All this we ask, In
the name and through the merits of
Jesus Christ, Thy Son, our Saviour.
Amen

THE recent State Temperance Con
vention in annual session at Little
Rock abolished the State TEMPE
ance Union and organized the State
Prohibition Alliance To be composed
of a male membership, the ladies
being excluded except as honorary
members. The new organization
has manifest political tendencies,
and many members Of the Union re-
fused to join the Alliance on this
account. What the outcome of the
new departure will be, it is impossi-
Bile to foretell, but if it shall serve
the purpose of RELOCATING over zeal
GUS politicians and discarded party
hacks to the rear, it will have accom-
plished good purpose and will
strengthen the temperance workers
in the State.
