Rev. W. D. Atkinson, of Marietta,
preached two very able sermons in this
place on Sunday to a large and apprecia
tive audience, on the subject of temper
ance. We have seldom seen a speaker ex
hibit as much enthusiastic earnestness in
his subject, or could so thoroughly arouse
and enchaiu the attention of his audience,
as did this gentleman, in his elaborations of
the deep, feurlul and wide spread ruin
which intemperai.ee in producing in the
land. The harrowing and heartrending
scenes described by him, resulting from the
use of spirituous liquors, left a deep im
pression upon the mind ami hearts of all —
Mr. Atkinson’s visit to this place, we trust
and have every reason to believe has been
productive ot incalculable good. A lodge
was organized Monday night with thirty
five members, and a dozen or more have
promised to join at an early day. What
gives us hope is, the oldest, die most solid
and r* sp«*ctab!e of our citizens are the first
to take hold, and there are men in it who
have never yet been known to fall in accom
plishing go«»d in any enterprise they have
ever engage*! in. It is proposed to make
the temperance movement an aggres-ive
one, until al! of our young men and ladies
have become members of the organisation
The temperan e movement has been pro'
ductive ’of incalculable good elsewhere
saving yearly, thousands of young men
from the mi>e>y of a dissipated life—and
we hope to see at an eaily day every man
and woman in this community au active
member of the Good Tomplar’a Lodge.—

Concerning the man you call your friend,
tell me will he weep with you in hours of
distress? Bill he faithfully reprove you
to your face, for actions for which others
are ridiculing and censuring behind your
back? Will he dare to stand forth in your
defense, when detraction is secretly aiming
its deadly weapon at your reputation?
Will he acknowledge you with the same
cordiality and behave to you with the same
friendly attention in the company of v our
superior in rank and fortune, as when the
claims of pride do not interfere with those
of friendship! If misfortunes and kieses
should oblige you to retire into a walk of
life in whio4 yoa cannot appear with the
same liberality as formerly, will he still
think himself happy in yonr society, and
instead of withdrawing himselffrom an un
profitable connection take pleasure in pro
fessing himself your friend and cheer.ully
assist you to support the burthen of your
afflictions ’ When sicknes* shall call you
to retire from the gay and busy world, will
he follow you into your gloomy retreat, lis
ten with attention to your “tale of symp
toms,” and administer the balm ot consol
ation te your fainting spirits? And lastly,
when death shall burst every earthly tie,
will he shed a tear upon your grave, and
lodge the dear remembrance ofyourmu
tva! friendship in his heart? H,
It the Itineracy System Becoming In
popular Among the Methodist? more
than one recent instance the congregations
of Methodist churches hnve been on rhe
point of rebellion against the ministers ap
pointed to the charge of them ia accord
ance with the itiaerancy system; bu t none
have gone so far as the W arren street Meth
odist Church ot Brooklyn, which refuses
to receive the new pastor; Mr. Saunders,
just appointed by the East Conference,
claiming to have a promise from the pre
siding elder to appoint Mr. Johns, who has
been preaching since the death ot Mr.
Hadley, and have decidea to close the
church Sunday, and notify Saunders that
that he is not wanted. The official board,
say that, in the event of Johns’ removal
they will settle the church or make a Con
gregational ehurch of it. It is rumored
another church is threatening to adopt a
similar course.
I±.kirERA.NCK ITEMS.
The first step toward the perdition
of the gutter and of eternity is often
labelled “Bitteis” —‘Tonic’ —‘Anodyne’
and conics from th“ apothecary’s shop.
In the end it will indeed ygw» bitter
ness but no strength or rest. We
shook hands the other day with a de
graded minister, once our intimate
friend and pulpit associate, who began
with something to counteract the i
prostration that followed a sermon.— ,
The Appeal.
During last month the number of
arrests made in the West Division was
only 920. showing onite a decrease.
Previous to the enforcement of the
Sunday Liquor Law the arrests in
that part of the city reached a high as
2,985 one month. Doubtless, friends
of the Liquor Leagues will say, ‘that
is nothing.’ But no argument is nee- !
essary beyond the figures "given, on
the part of the temperance jmrty.-Chi
cago Journal.
It is perfectly right to talk against ;
drunkenness! 'The poor miserable
bloat has friends. Let him suffer J
beside he is often present to hear it.
But how can ‘prudent man’ strike at
the pions respectable anti rich, partici
pants in the liquor business?
Tlit* London Times, conmtonly call
ed a‘Thunderer,’ hasjeonr out. square

the Standard is expected to follow

In our own country, evidenct's are
implying that there is a gnat change
going on in the minds of the people in
regunl to the liquor traffic.
We read of a philosopher who, pass

The Nt " Y* :k Herald quotes tHs
p.* ;>e’:ip'‘ from District \t‘*»iiicy Sul-
livan’s address to the jury at the
court of General Sessions in that
city:
This is the closing day of the Octo
ber term and I wish to impress one
i practical lesson on the members of
I the jury. We have tried parties guilty
j of every grade of crime—the defend
j ants being of every age and both sex
; es. In. almost every instance it ap
: peared that drunkenness was the oc
i casion of of the crime. Especially was
; this so with young men. In these
; days of agitation of reforms I wish we
! could inaugurate a movement for so
: cial and temperance reform and save
i thousands of our boys who are in fear
ful peril, At the Tombs, on Satur
; day last, I was talking with Mrs. Fos
, ter, the worthy matron in charge of
the women’s department. She said,
‘the women here are generally seen
because of drinking, and yonder (point
to the boys’ department) are the chil
dren of drunkards.’ You and Ido
not discharge our whole duty to a
community when we try a case. What
we learn here should prompt ns in our
social duties. Ido not know how any
man can do more good in the commu
nity than by efforts to promote total
abstinence from intoxicating liquor.
The temperance work in schools and
among the young should receive a
large share of public attention. Its
importance cannot be estimated. ‘As
the twig is bent the tree’s inclined,’
is just as true of temperance as of any
other teaching indispensable to child
hood. Neglect to teach a generation
of children arithmetic, and we have a
generation of men, by and by, who
will know nothing about arithmetic.
If all intoxicating drinks eould be
lone away with, crime would be re
duced to a fourth of its present
amount. It is the mightest of all the
forces the progress of good. In vain
every engine is set to work that phil
anthropy ean devise, when those whom
we seek to benefit are habitually de
stroying the faculties of reason and
will. Ah a statesman would do the
utmost possible good to his native
land, he should stand the means by
which this worst of plagues could be
stayed.
Is it a breach Df liberty to hold every
man responsible for all his business
transaction, so that no harm sh:ill
come through them to his fellow man?
Or is liberty to be interpreted as a li
cense to do whatever may advance our
own personal ends, regardless of con
sequences provided a man may be able
to find victims? If this be liberty
there is but one step to anarchy and
piracy.
It is chiefly in reason and the moral
sense that a man differs from a beast.
But the intemperate man throws away
reason, nullities conscience, and does
all in his power to lessen his claim to
the character of a human being. He
who is addicted to the vice of drunken
ness beconu'S not a fool or a madman,
only, but a fit companion for the most
filthy and stupid of brute creation; he
may be fitly compared to the swine
that wallows in the mire.
The liquor truffle should be pro
hibited by lei»al enactment be
cause, of all the foes to humanity
in the calendar, this one is worst.
In fact, it is largely the sum of
all others, and wherein lies the
propriety of creating laws against
any offence if this, the parent ot
the greater portion of ail others,
shall be permitted to go at large?

Transaction in Wu.i. .Street. The
threatening indietment of jmtsouslend

the enterprising boiTOw ers and lenders.
Several of the latter are making resti
tution of their unlawful gains, and
many ot the former have discovered a
method by which they can get all the
money they want at lawful interest.
This is the way it xvorks:

What a Boy Knows AboutWrh.
Girls are the most unaccountable
things in the world—except a woman.
Like the wicked flea, when you
them they ain’t there. —I can can ci
pher clean over the improper frac
tions and the teacher says I do it first,
rate, but I can’t cipher out a gnl, ’
proper or improper, and you can’A
either. The.Lnly rule in arithmetic
hits their case the double rule of tw'o.
They are as full of Old Nick as their
skin can hold, and, and they wonl?f ’
die if they couldn’t torment somebody. ’
—When they try to be mean, they ar*)
as mean as pusley, though they ain't/
as mean as they let on, sometimes, the®'
are a good deal meaner. The only )
way to get along with a girl when
comes to you with her nonsense is to
give her tit for tat, and that will slum- ,'
mnx her, and when you get a girib'
flummuxed she is as nice as anew pin.
A girl can sow more wild oats in a day 1 '
than a boy can sow in a year, but gir!»!
get their wild oats sowed after awliil®/
which boys never do, and then they'
settle down as calm and placid as iw ‘
mud-puddle. But I like girls first 4
rate, and I guess the boys all d0.—.1 *
don’t care how many tricks theypiuy.’
on me —and they don’t care either.
The hoitytoityist girls in the work#'
can always boil over like a glass of so- '
da. By and by they will get into tho*
traces with somebody they like, ami ’
pull as steady as an old stage horse. ,
That is the beauty of them. So let *
them wave, I say; they will pay for it ’
some day, sewing on buttons and try- ’
ing to make a decent man out of tha '
fellow they have spliced on to, and ten ‘
chances to one if they don’t get tho ;
worst of it. ’
