And manly men in manhood's manliest mculd, will too be there in mem and fit and sU le like that the an gel love and God approves; for that noble band of men and women are installed in life's grandest office, for they are engaged ' in the humane task of breaking the tyrani- cal fetters and cruel chains that have bound so manv men down in the wretched and terrible dungeon cell of the blackest and most loathsome prison that ever held cap tive a fellow being.

And what a scene of radiant beauty will greet the ecstatic visions of those noble workers in Scotland Neck when thv reach ! lie Better Land, and behold glistering in all the richness of Heavenly lustre the many precious gems they placed in "that pure and blessed channel of reformation, and throngh which they were wafted on t lie precious tides of religion out into that blisful ocean of immortality which breaks in such weet and transporting ripples upon the ecstatic shores of eternitv. Yes. the cau-e is growing. Tin- drum heat of Temperance Reformation is heard in the land, and enthusiastic adherents are timing their willing foot steps to its thrill ing music. Their tramp resounds both loud uid long, and the welkin rings with gladdest ong. And this glorious warfare will never ' ca-c until liquor-owned men are once :ncrc free, and rest in the i hade of the spreading Temperance tree. And that tree win grow m vigor and beauty and m,r and glory, and live forever in sweetest son and ,tory.
