A sol emn pause succeeded the inquiry, when up rose Deacon Ts., his face red from frequent draughts of his favorite drink and steadying himself as well as he could by the pew rail, looked up to theipai-son, and replied in a trembling and moim? voice "Here I am." Of course a consternation in the congre gation was the reply of the honest dea con s response; however, tlie parson went on with his remarks as he had written them, ; commenting severely upon the drunkards, and closed by warning them to forsake at once such ftvii habits, if thev would seek salva- , j i tion and flee from the coming wrath The deacon then made a bow and seat preacher in his loudest tones, ."where is the hypocrite ?

The deacon saw where the shaft was aim ed, or it should be aimed, and rising once more, leaned over his pew to the squire, whom he tapped on the shoul der, and thus addressed him "Come, inon nnt rsf nmnniT-ifinns than' fllmOSt - !- " i I J. 11.

I concur with Ida.'in wishing that all the distilleries were burnt. I ndinire the writings of all the ' others, very much; as for "Eroom" I think I know him by his writing, but I won't say who I think he is, for fear I guess wrong. I think with "Will" that there is work and a good share of it for us girls to do, but how are we to do it? I am perfectly willing to do my part, if I only knew how to begin. Now don't think I h&YTi't tried to do anything. . I have been all my life (not a very long one though) in favor of total abstinence, and have tried various i ways to get others to unite with me in . the good work, but as yet, have only partially succeeded. Will some good person give me a little advice? I have friends, neighbors and relatives some that are very dear to me, that I can't persuade to give up "dram drinking." I talk to them, reason with and try to persuade " themi but it all eeems of no avail. They still drink Wine, Cider and oc casionally something stronger. Next week will be a' week of excitement ( when the hated stuff will flow abun--- dantly in our little town.' I greatly fear for some of them. What must ' we do? We have no Councils about T here and very few men (or women ei ther) who believe in total abstinence. Oh, how badly I have been made to and every useful 1 " '. 9. Because abstinence is sure, and safe, but dnukmg moderately is aim cult and dangerous, and has led to all the drunkenness in the world. 10. Because I find I cannot effectu ally warn the drunkard, unless I am myself an entire abstainer. 11. Because I like to join those who are exerting themselves to. promote the temporal and spiritual reforma tion and happiness of? mankind uni versally, n 12. Because it is important to set a safe example of perfect sobriety to our children, friends, and as soci ates. 13 TtPAftnae it is our christian duty rful ! The Two Legacies. At the wharf of a Hudson Biver city1 there stood oue day, rears ago, a young man .elegantly dressed, waiting with elated look, and j swaggering air, the coming of the boat at. noon. : A frien,d approached and carefully inquired, "whither bound ?" In language hardly lit for repetition the addressed replied, "Why haven't you heard of it? The old man is dead; I) am going down to invite relations to the funeral. Come in and have a .ii drink, and congratulate me upon my good luck." 1 The father whose dea'h was thus, brutally announced, had toiled t j leave that son an estate s6 large that its v alue would be difficult to tell.

Because I should be ashamed to 1 touch, taste,' handle, or keep in my house, the article which is filling the land with misery, lamentation and woe. 71. Because nothing , but total ab stinence, as a human instrument, will cure the drunkard, or prevent the moderate drinker from; becoming such. 18. Because I find myself, by ab staining, healthier, wealthier, and hap pier. I am more respected, and bet ter fitted to perform my duty to God and man. Mr. B Y. L Dejk'happelles, as perfoimcd by.
