WOMAN.
HER POWER, PRIVILEGE AND DUTY.

In whatever issue there may be
brought to public consideration, we
find variety of opinions and ways of
reaching conclusions. The subject,
Temperance, is not new, but the
method we may suggest to reach sat-
isfactory conclusions is new, and to
some may appear somewhat novel, but
will afford at least an opportunity of
doing little thinking for yourselves.
While the direct results of our tenn
perance scheme come directly through
the young, as those who are coming
upon the stage Of life to take the
places Of those who will 50 soon pass
away, to be so soon forgotten, our
thought Is directed more particularly
TO the older, more experienced and
thoughtful. Our passing thought is
the result of a lifelong study of Life,
some Of it's requirements, its purposes,
the elements of human nature and
their adaptability to produce certain
results. The temperance requirement,
of which we speak, is a wOr Id require
ment, a national need, a "home" ne

than our home? What scene in the
panorama of life more beautiful, more
enchanting, that puts to blush the
