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.— lies/ Point Aines. ♦ ♦ ♦ Living Well.

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 ly on the side of temperance, anti the Standard is expected to follow suit. 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 ed through a mart tilled with articles of taste anti luxury, made himself quite happy with die simple, yet >«ig(> reflection: ‘‘How many things are there here that I do not want.” I do in my consciem*e bt lit ve that intoxicating stimulants have Mink in t*> |Hrditi*»n more men anti women tlian found a grave in that deluge vd : ;< h sw« pt over tie* high hill-top. ee/Utting a "orltl of which but eight Mtivsud. ib‘V. Dr. Guthrie. 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?

The threatening indietment of jmtsouslend ing money on Wall strei-t.at usurious rates is developing new capabilities m 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: Mr. Brown Say. Jolies, I’ll bet you sjo vou won t lend me 810,000 for two days at 7 per c* nt. js-r annum.

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.

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.

The hoitytoityist girls in the work#' can always boil over like a glass of so- ' da.
