/, MAY -, 1870,
The Mount Desert Mriii not long ago
gave au extract from the New York Sun
TO the effect. tina, Maine contained large
number Of inhabitants who had no church
es, no bibles. and did not support the go,
pei in any way. 1t add, that If this is the
case in state where prohibition is so
prominent, it would BE- better to let proLi-
bition 90 and take up christianity. 1t con
cludes that these people must be followers
of the Koran, which advocates prohibi-
ton instead Of the christian bible, which,
it says, encourages the use of liquor. and
goes on to quote Paul's eXhortation to
Timothy to Take little wine for thy
stomach's sake" and other passages
of like import to prove that christianity
encourages liquor drinking. while to pro-
hibit its sale is a species Of heathenism or
inhdelity. Perhaps it would be well for
the correspondent of the Sun who makes
these bright and witty assertions TO go a
little more into details and tell US just
where he finds these people who are so
destitute of christian education, and to
tell us further if they are really, as he
would have us believe, the most ultra pro-
hibitionists in the state. 1t is very much
smuggle liquor into the state, whenever
they can.
The rum advocates know better when
they bring up such arguments, and it
speaks i'll for Maine paper to even copy
such sentiments except to denounce them,
which in this case was not done. BY re-
peating such ideas without comment, the
inference may be drawn that the paper adj
vocates them, whether this is the case or
not.
But this is only one Of the wil,.s en-
ployed. The liquor element of society
furnishes any amount of money to circu-
late rum gospel in every form. One way
is to circulate a so-called farm paper by
sending free copies all over state, the
party, edited by one Of its chief officers,
Cyrus Turner, secretary of the National
Liquor Dealers Association His paper is
called the Farm Herald of Louisville, Ky.
(Ths is on the authority of the New York
Vnice)
But the most absurd of all is to see the
rum party masquerade as advocates for
temperance. prohibition does not pro-
hibit' is their watchword, and with the
smoothest tongues they say liquor is ne
cessity in some cases-it often saves life
the bible advocates its use-and every sa-
loon keeper thinks license will do more to
secure real temperance than prohibition.
Thinks, did say? No, he says so, but the
bar-keeper is no fool, and he knows he lies
when he says such things.
As if because few isolated texts In the
| bible advocate "a little wine" for some
specific case that these should be used as
arguments against the whole of its teach
ings; for is not the bible, as whole, the

The Misdirected Letter.

Rev Mr.. Bulkley of Colchester, Conn.
was famous in his day as casuist and
sage counselor. A church in his neigh
borhood had fallen into unhappy divisions
and contentious, which they were unable
to adjust among themselves. They de-
puted one of their number to the venerable
Bulkley for his advice, with a request that
he would send 1t to them in writing. The
matters were taken into serious considera
tiOn, and the advice, with much delibera-
ton, committed to writing. 1t SO hap
pened that Mr.. Bulkley had farm In an
extreme part of the town upon which he
intrusted a tenant In subscribing the
two letters, the one for the church was di
rected to the tenant, and the one for the
tenant to the church. The church was
convened to hear the advice which was to
settle all their disputes. The moderator
read as follows: you win see to the re-
pair of the fences, that they be built high
and strong; and you will take special care
of the old black bull" This mystic advice
puzzled the church at first; but an inter-
prefer among the more discerning ones
was soon found who said Brethren,
this is the very advice we most need The
direction to repair the fences is to admon-
ish US to take good heed in the admission
anu government OF our members: we must
guard the church by our Masters laws, and
keep out strange cattle from the fold
And we must in particular manner set a
watchful guard over the devil, the old
black bull, who has done so much hurt of
late" All perceived the wisdom and fit
ness of Mr. Bulkleys advice and resolved
to be governed. The consequence was
that all the animosities subsidized, and har-
mony was restored to the long afflicted
church.-Arrine's Cyclopedia Of Anecdote

Life's West Windows.

Looking from iife's west windows,
lIcw different the view
From that we saw in the morning,
When only the esst we knew.
The rosy tints Of the sunrise
Betokened the glad noontide,
But held no hint Of the shadows
That lay on the other side.
And we bravely go forth on life's journey
Nor ask that our feet might stay,
For the rosy light Of the morning
Shines over us all the way.
But when We have reached the summit,
LIES full fruition won,
We would gladly stay in the noontde.
Nor think OF the setting sun,
Nor the years down which we must jour
ney
Away from the glad nooutide,
Nor the vale with it, misty shadows,
Nor the river 81 dark and wide.
But ah Is we journey onward,
Keeping our eyes 10 the west.
We find that the JOYS OF the morning
Or uoontide are not the best.
And hen we have folded life's work away
To wait for the Masters call.
The quiet JOY. Of the eventide
We know are best OF sll
And the vale. with its shadows lifted,
l. rest to our weary feet,
And the beautiful mystic river
Holds water that i cool and sweet.
And We gladly await the boatmsn
To bear u over the tide,
To the arms Of Il loving Father
Who visits on the other side
