- Almanac for is 42.
The Executive Committee of the Massachusetts Temperance Union
row present to the temperance public this fourth number of their Alma-
maº- Firty-five thousand of last year's Almanac were circulated. The
C littee have received many assurances of its favorable influence and
popular reception. It is regarded as an important means of keeping
temperance before the people. We hope the members of the Union and
friends of temperance generally will aid in the distribution of this number,
that it may find a lodgment in seventy-thousand families this year. The
calendar pages have again been prepared by our ardent temperance friend.

The Plague.
“The Plague' the Plague! bring out your dead!”
Through all the land the ºry
Rang shrily forth. “We bring our dead!”
Was murmured tº repºs. -
And still no art could-stay the sore,
By night and day it ran;
Till written on our nation's door,
was --Lazarett of Man!”
Beyond the pestilence that sweeps
The Oriental power,
Where Death, the busy toiler, reaps
A province in an hour. -
To touch and taste, and taste and die,
And fill the maniac's grave,
Millions engaged, till from the sky,
Came Absºrinence to save.
Now we are healed yet at the pool
Lie many in their sin;
The “moderate *-mad, the ruined fool,
No angel puts them in.
Ay, angel Temperance never tires!
But healing wing doth plume
Where soaring Faith, itself, expires,
And Hope is in the tomb.
Shout, drunkard shout your chain of steel
Issundered, link by link;
Shout, maker vender ye can feel,
Shout, children: ye may think.
And woman, in whose halcyon breast
The star of hope doth shine,
Would shout, but tears reveal the rest,-
Lord God: the work is thine. W. B. TAPPA w.
| We wish our readers and patrons a HAPPº New Year. We take great
pleasure in the assurance that it is a happy new year to thousands whose past
years of folly, guilt or misery have only prepared them to strike high notes of
thanksgiving and praise to God for deliverance from the past and for the hopes
and promises of the future. To God be the cºlony, Peace and plenty
have been written upon the door posts of many a dwelling, and salvation in-
scribed upon many a heart. -
| To our temperance fiends of the early and late and all campaigns, we would
express our congratulations. Your labors have never been in vain. You are
reaping a harvest of joy, and rich fields still lie before you. We beckon you,
call you, cheer you onward.
| To our Washingtonian friends we say, God speed and bless you. Bedº-
genº be strong, be faithful. Remember the pit whence you were taken, and
neither give nor ask quarter.

Its glory has departed. |
What has become of all the “loggerheads' and “flip-irons’ that used to be
so handy in the bar-room fire? A few are wanted for museums, historical
rooms, and collections of curiosities and relics. It would be well, toº, to save
a few dozen of the old tin glass and gill-cup measures of the tavern-bar and
retail store. The reeling and staggering, the low, vulgar, brawling talk, the
rags and haggard visages of the bar-room will exist no longer than the memory
of the oldest of us will last; the painter’s art fails to delineate and preserve
them; but we can preserve a few toddy-sticks, flip-irons, gill-cups, and labelled
bottles as curiosities for coming generations. Mr. Hawkins thinks that a drunk-
ard will be such a curiosity by-and-by that a money-catching Yankee would
make a fortune on one by exhibiting him in a cage, as a “show,” iſ the reform-
ers would let him alone. -
Generations to come will be astonished at the history of intoxicating drinks,
for the first quarter of the nineteenth century. Rum was then in its glory.
Its throne extended to all the occasions of life, whether of fashion, civility,
or labor; in church and state; poor-house and prison; at births, marriages and
funerals; by day and by night; in high life and low; in the garret, chamber,
parlor, kitchen and cellar; in health or sickness; on journeys and at home; in
winter and summer, in spring and autumn; at raisings, huskings, trainings, as
wake-ups and night-caps, &c., &c. Reeling, bloated, ragged victims, shabby
houses, neglected farms, unhappy families, crowded poor-houses and jails filled
the land. Ay, rum was triumphant, and in its sºony. The distillation of
New England rum was a large and lucrative business, and esteemed honorable.
The importation of all kinds of intoxicating drink gave an impulse to commerce
and revenues to the treasury; large and thriving orchards occupied the best soil
of all our farms, and immense quantities of grain and potatoes were converted
into whisky. Rumr was surrºux tº its gloax.
Its glory has, however, departed, its days are numbered and will soon be
finished. Its expiring agonies are somewhat terrific, but with energy, union,
and perseverance on our part, they will be short and final. The distiller, rum-
seller, and wine-bibber are brought into an unwilling companionship and neigh-
borhood. They have lived at a distance, but the railroad of public opinion
has brought them together. They are all gentlemen, and want to be considered
Christians too, but the public have laid down at their doors the pauperism,
crime and misery brought upºn society from intoxicating drinks, and demand
that they divide the responsibility. One makes, another sells, and the third
drinks. They may now turn states evidence, confess, testify and be pardoned,
or they will be dealt with as a band of conspirators and misanthropists, who
deserve to be run over by the temperance locomotive.
Its glory has departed. It makes no new friends, and its advocates and
supporters are fast quitting the field. The cold water army refuse to enlist in
its ranks, and the drunkards are not only deserting its posts and entrenchments,
but are turning the hottest fire against its encampments. The farmer can now
draw his wood along the tavern-road, without stopping to unload or warm; he
no longer needs peppered cider in winter to keep him warm, or rum in haying
to keep him cool; and ſure and oats are altogether better fºr a safe and pleasant
sleigh-ride than flip or wine-toddy.
Its glory has departed. It is shut up out of sight; is secreted in the bar-room.
its ancient stronghold, is concealed in back roºms and cellars of the old grog-
|shºp; is driven from the demijohn to a tin pail or boy's satchel (aska dealer in
Washington Street), is smuggled along to the hovel ºf the poorest and the side-
board of the richest. “As a medicine,” wont answer now. Everybody caught
in its company is ashamed, and makes excuse. Its a loºr ºs ºn tºº.

Elections.
No small share of past intemperance had its origin and support at elections.
Candidates for office treated their supporters, partizans drank deeply and gave
freely. The caucus was held at the tavern; the discussions were at the grog-
shop; defeat as well as victory was celebrated over the bottle. Such “spoils”
belonged to both parties. The heart of the body politic, the ballot-box, became
tainted and paſsied with strong drink. The voter was duly represented in the
halls of legislation. Having obtained his seat by virtue of toddy, the repre-
sentative was prepared to secure by law authority to sell it by persons of “sober
life and conversation.” Perhaps the long-sought-for reason why the sale of in-
toxicating drinks was ever considered by our wise lawmakers, as a public good,
is ſound in the estimation of the legislator himself, who sustained the law, that
as his valuable services were secured to the State by the potency and success
of treating, the sale of rum must be a “public good.”
The times and customs have greatly changed among us, but some men and
towns still glory in not being carried about by every new ſangled doctrine,—in
being able to maintain their old independence and in being found now as their
fathers were forty years ago. The tavern is still the home of the aspirant for
office, is still the place for the caucus, the rallying committee, and check-list,
&c., &c. The good seed, however, has been planted, and a sound crop of
reform is coming in in the very hardest towns in the State.
One of the means of enlightening the public mind upon the evils of intem-
perance has grown out of our frequent discussions of the subject at the polls.
Many citizens have cried out against all connection of temperance with politics;
but we might as well say that morals, education and religion must be discon-
nected from politics. In the choice of selectmen, who had some control over
licenses; it was a very natural and most proper inquiry on the part of the º
whether the candidate would or not grant approbation, and then came up a
full discussion of the propriety of a licensed sale of intoxicating drinks and the
influence of grogshops. The next step was to watch the election of county
commissioners, to whose court was given the power of granting licenses. In
this election the question was again discussed. At the election of representatives
the whole character and influence of the law authorizing the traffic was again
canvassed. Thus the whole subject has been kept before the people at the
polls, twice or thrice a year, in a way to reach every voter. The chains of
rum were adamantine; the saw, the file, the hammer and the fire have been
needed to sever them. Discussion, ay, discussion; give us Discussion at
the polls, in the halls of legislation, in the courts of justice, and a Yankee mind
and Puritan heart will find the truth and act upon it.
| License or no license, is an important question. As long as authority for
the traffic remains on the statute book, so long the rumseller will contend that
his business is proper, is sanctioned by the law, and will hold up his head in
the midst of the ruin of broken constitutions, broken fortunes, broken hearts
and vows, broken hopes,and all our remonstrances, and say to us, “who knows
Best, you or the law.” The law must roºtein this traffic, this whole
ºn affic, under heavy penalties, and the jail and the prison must be his as
well as the victim’s penal resting-place. The convicted rumseller, like the
thieſ, must be discredited as a witness, excluded from the jury-box, and his very
name and person regarded with deeper aversion than ever his victim has been.
The distillery and grog-shop must be abated as nuisances. Let no opportunity
for the discussion of this subject at the polls ſail, till our work is accomplished.

Washington Temperance Societies.
The FIFTH of April, 1840, will be remembered by a multitude of families
with deeper interest and more enduring affection than the Fourth of July has
been by the American patriot. On that day the Washington Temperance
Society was formed in Baltimore, by six men,
Willia M. K. Mircºlu, Tailor,
JAMEs McCut LEy, Coachmaker,
Anchº Aºn CAMP Bºil, Silver-plater,
John F. Floss, Carpenter,
George Strees, Couchmaker,
David AN pºson, Blacksmith.
They signed the following pledge:– -
*we, whose names are annexed desirous of forming a society for our mutual benefit,
and to guard against a pernicious practice, which is injuriºus to our health studing.
and families, dº pledge ourselves as gentlemen, that we will not drink any Sºus
ºr Maur Liquous, Wine or Cººn.” -
Mr. Mitchell, in a grog-shop, and in company with many others, under the
influence of liquor, suddenly formed a resolution that he would drink no more.
He retired and drew up the pledge and procured the signatures of five others.
They held weekly meetings to talk over the history of the past and lay plans
for the future. Their progress was slow for a time, as they must first show
the benefits of their own reformation, before they could obtain conſidence or
converts, when Hawkins joined them, on the fifteenth of June following,
their number was only fourteen. They soon pledged themselves to bring each
a man at every meeting. Their numbers now rapidly increased. They told
the simple story of their lives, brought their wives and children, happy trºphies
of their reform, to weep and rejoice with them; and they proclaimed at all the
corners of the streets, in the grog-shops and upon the wharves, deliverance to
the poºr captives of alcohol, and hope and joy to the outcast and forsaken.
They plead their cause in the public markets and squares of the city, they
went to New York, and came to Bºston. The history of their doings is writ-
ten upon the dwellings of our inhabitants, upon the persons of thousands in the
change of their countenances and dress, and upon the hearts of their wretched
families and of an admiring and sympathizing community.
We give in the picture a true impression of their efforts. The six men are
at their work. The poor drunkard is taken up and cherished is clothed and
returned to his neglected and unhappy family. His children are now clothed
and sent to school, his wife is honored and comforted, and his own peace made
to flow like a river.
* I will not have such a noise here,” angrily exclaimed the keeper of a por-
ºter house to a man who had been patronizing his bar too freely, and annoying
everybody around him. “Now look a here,” stammered out the drunken
man, “if you want to keep a quiet house, you mustn't sell liquorº. The
landlord was cornered.
* Why don't you come aſter the cold victuals as usual,” said a lady to a
boy, whº had for a longtime been a daily visiter for that species of charity.
“Father has joined the temperance society, and we have warm victuals now.”
was the reply.
* Who gave you that new frock” said a person to a little girl whom he
|had been accustomed to see in rags. “Nobody didn't give it to me; for since
- father joined the temperance society, he buys things, and told mother not to le.
l the children begany more.” -

Remote Consequences.
During the summer of 1841 a gentleman and lady of this city left the care
of their house and children with the nursery-woman, a young person of con-
siderable beauty and somewhat genteel in her appearance. While walking
out one day with one of the children, a little girl, she ſell in the street and was
taken up by a gentleman and placed in a store close by. Several ladies came
to her assistance, and with their fans, salts, loosing of dress, &c., were doing
what they could to recover her, when the doctor arrived. These doctors are
knowing folks, and are not easily deceived, although they do not always speak
out to their female patients as plainly as did this doctor to this one. “You
are drunk, madam,” said the doctor. She now made an effort to speak, and
stammered out, “It’s-cruel-to-say-lºm-drunk, when-I’m-only-swooned.”
| Her female attendants now withdrew in disgust; the child was sent home, and
the poor victim of appetite left to find her way there as best she could.
| We have only the out-door fact. It does not appear whether she drank of
her mistress's liquor, or purchased it at some of our genteel conſectionaries or
drinking apothecaries; whether she became drunken on milk-punch, wine, or
cologne; whether it was the first or last time in her life; and the name of the
family is by agreement not to be made public.
It aſſords opportunity, however, for a few reflections. Parents and house-
holders, who use intoxicating drinks, do it in evil example of their domestics,
and to the hazard of the best interests of their families. If such drinks are
good for the master, they are for the servant. There may be safety and econ-
ºmy in having all the wine and drunkenness in the parlor, but there is very
little consistency in forbidding as injurious in the kitchen the use of that which
is so good in the parlor. Intoxicating drinks soon produce a tempest in the
kitchen; servants become cross to children, careless of furniture and fire, ir-
regular in time, extravagant and wasteful. Is it any better or otherwise in the
arlor: Keep such drinks in your house, and policies of insurance, bank
stock, Sabbath schools, going to church, and the laws of God and man will not
defend against the hazards to children and home or avert the manifold perils of
fire, crime, or bankruptcy.
| Toral Assºciºcº should be written over every nursery door. Milk-
| punch, porter and beer for the mother, or a little gin to ease pain for the child,
is all the error and humbug of a quarter of a century ago. It is the first step
to ruin, and those parents are very unwise who practise the one or permit the
other. The mother, with strength of muscle and nerve, may withstand the
insidiousness of the stimulant, but the child has neither; and the health and
intellect must dwindle and fall under it.
The temperance community have been accustomed to dwell upon the suf-
ſerings of the wiſe of the poor drunkard as the crowning guilt of intoxicating
drinks. This may be, and undoubtedly is, so far as the mind and heart are
concerned in her sufferings, but the perils of children, by exposure to cold, to
hunger, neglect in sickness, killing the body and mind by inches, by the plant-
ing of disease, neglect of mental cultivation, loss of pride and growth of vicious
habits, may well claim pre-eminent misery.
| Until our efforts are triumphant, and men cease wholly to use such drinks,
we shall all be exposed to the evils of intemperance in others, however rigid out
own example or precepts may be. Our children may be run over by drunken
coachmen or pleasure-seeking Jehus, our buildings may be fired, or our wives
murdered by the drunken maniae. O, the satisfaction of being able to say
under such an event, I A ºr nor in Fault, I did what I could. Reader,
are you doing what you canº

“Treating" and “Travelling.”
One of the earliest, and of all others the most destructive customs in the use
of intoxicating drinks was “treating,”—giving liquor as a mark of friendship,
respect and hospitality. Incident to this, a course which soon followed, was
the whole system of betting. It will probably occur to our readers as readily as
to our own mind, how frequent and invariable too, the practice had become to
beta bottle of wine,” “a bowl of punch,” “a treat,” and even a ‘mug of cider.”
it became the universal panacea for grogshop, tavern, and more genteel differ-
|ences, wrangling and strife. “I’ll bet a bottle, quarter cask, or “mug of
that.' Frequent drams of friendship led to distorted vision, to odd mental
operations, to garrulous boasting talk, to affirmation and contradiction, and
anon these loving, treating friends call in an umpire. The question is diſſer-
ently stated three ºr four times over, the ºr alone is certain. The judge
gravely asks aid of all who are not parties or witnesses, and the question is
settled against him who is the most able, willing, or sure to pay the bet, a treat
ſor all. All now take hold again, and cry great is this our Diana of the grog-
|º real homºpathic, a little of the same to cure like that which produced
the disease! Who can look back to the rainy day at the country store or tav-
ern, at the training, the raising or town meeting, without a shudder? and who
|can call to mind the noble men who ſell, the uncºnscious victims of the customs
of that day, without long and bitter grief and reproach?
Sad and dangerous as were our village and neighborhood customs of treat-
ing, they ſell far short of those which lay in the way of travellers, and were
incident to the public conveyances both by land and sea. Many a sober citizen
thought he must drink when on a journey, however unaccustomed to do so at
home. It would warm or cool him as the weather might happen to be, it would
prevent or relieve fatigue, it was a good night cap” and wake up." However
short the call, and whether much or little had been done for him or his beast,
the traveller was expected to visit the bar, and if he was so thoughtless or
clownish as to pass it by, the barkeeper would stare at him as long and strong
as the modern porter of hostler do for their ſee. The stage-driver must always
join the treat at every call, the coachman must have his grog as often as his
poor horses had water. Sad and numerous were the mishaps to the traveller.
He lost his way, lost his baggage, upset his carriage, neglected his beast, ex-
posed himself, and became a burden to strangers and a prey to the landlord.
The stage-driver raced his horses, forgot the dangerous ruts, narrow passes and,
winding hills. The ship-master trusted to his mate whose stores of gin were
as abundant and strong as the captain's; and the steamboat was officered and
manned by men who kept up steam at more places than one, and whose boilers
were not all fire proof.
When the sea gives up its dead, when the lakes, bays, sounds and rivers
shall proclaim the whole truth, then only shall we learn the fatal influence of
intoxicating drinks upon the lives and property of travellers. She went upon
the bar, the rocks, ashore, capsized, or ſoundered, is the brief motice of the ill-
fated ship or coaster. The condition of the captain and crew is carefully with-
held. She burst her boiler, was burnt, run against a snag and sunk, is the brief
record of the destruction of many a steamboat, whose captain has been crazed
by inuor, or whose fireman and engineer have lost all discretion over the barrel
of whisky forward of the boiler-deck for their use, or kept in a bar as a sort of
portable magazine which may or may not blow her up. The Temperance
| Pales [No. 17.1 gives a list of disasters in ship and boat by the drunkenness
of officers and crews. Among them are the Rothsay Castle, the Ben Sherrod,
and the Home. It is believed, and has been so stated, that the Wm. Gibbons,
the Pulaski, and the Lexington belong to the same black catalogue.

Cold-W ate, Army. -
Soldiers! be on the ground bright and early for the Fourth. Don't let the
enemy get the start of you. Cold water is very good to produce sleep, we
know, but you must not sleep, save on your arms, this month. Our old In-
dependence day has been an occasion of triumph to our enemy. Now take
care, and give no quarter. Don't let there be a single rum celebration this
year. Call out your hosts, and huzza for cold water, and with shoutings, and
processions, and songs, and banners and badges, carry the day, and prevent
the enemy from showing himself in any form. Strike for victory, complete,
perfect victory.-and during the campaign of 1842, too. It is as well, ay,
better, to do it in one than five years.
Go for a celebration in every town this 4th. There were a great many last
year, but we must show our strength this year. About 1000 banners and
30,000 badges were sold last year. We must have 100,000 badges or medals
worn this year. Form the army, sing your songs, get someºne to address
you, and then march off to some grove, as you see them doing in the picture.
In one large manufacturing village, every child but two, of suitable age, be-
longs to the army. The rule is
* And every man must bring a man,
And sºon we'll have them all.”
| Children, join the army, and “stick to it.” The evidence that our soldiers
are faithful to the pledge is abundant and delightful. They fight against the
tippler’s drinks like heroes. They will remember the temperance principles as
long as they will the multiplication-table. “The advantages of this effort are
very apparent. Joining the cold water army, singing the songs, and getting up
a public celebration, with banners and badges, will so fire the hearts of children
with temperance truth and practice, that when they become old they will not
depart from the paths of sobriety and peace. It not only adds greatly to their
own security, but is a charming means of introducing temperance principles
where access has not been obtained by older and less yielding hands. Expe-
rience, the best of teachers in such movements, confirms our anticipations.
At the first call, the children of temperance families will join, the pledge will be
taken, songs sung, and preparations made for another meeting. The kindling
zeal of the first members will bring to the second meeting their playmates and
acquaintances, and each succeeding meeting the circle will widen, till children
of families opposed or indifferent are found among the number. The songs
then fall on unaccustomed ears, as the little warblers return home and sing,
“o that’s the drink for me,” “Cold water, bright water, for me,” &c., and
the tract is read by new and woudering eyes. The influence distils like the
dew, and drops on the earlike the notes of the morning, indifference soon be-
comes zeal, and opposition is changed into support.”--innual Report.
Remember the battle is between run and cold water. We fight not with
guns and swords and dirks, but “ with Barºn and with Bangº we come,
an army true and strong.”
Cold Water Army Paper. The Mass. Temperance Union are publishing
weekly a small paper for children, called the Cold War ºn Army arº
|Yourt's Picnic. See terms and character on the last page. It is hoped
many a member of the army will take it, carefully read it, and then lend or file
it. Two or three little bºys or girls can unite in taking it. It will tell them
all about the army and their picnics, and will furnish them with songs, and
give them a great deal of information Banners, badges, songs, temperance
books, tales, tracts, &c. &c., are kept for sale at the room of the Massachu-
setts Temperance Union.

** Here it Goes.”
“There is more than one way to kill a cat,” says the old and vulgar adage,
and there is more than one way to end this accursed rum traffic. Stop the
importation, stop the distilling, the selling, the drinking. Make it unprofitable,
dishonorable, unſashionable. Coax it, drive it, ridicule it. Let the men act,
the women talk, and children sing. Let all unite in celebrations, in picnics,
in social meetings. Pour the liquor out upon the ground, burn it, or send it
back to first hands. We have been glad to hear of the failures of the distillers
in the State of New York; we do not mourn over the burning of Gardner
|Brewer's distillery in this city, or the loss of the cargo of rum on a railroad in
Warren, or the bursting of the rum-hogshead upon the countryman's team in
Watertown. It was good news to hear that the Washingtonians in Baltimore
got up a great procession, made speeches, and burnt the whole stock of a peni-
|tent rººm-seller. We were much pleased, too, to hear that the Washingtonians
|were handling without gloves the stuff" in New Bedford. We have given
a picture to represent it, and will give the Register's account of it.
“A gratifying spectacle was exhibited on Third Street in this town, on Sat-
urday. A dealer in ardent spirits, unable longer to resist the tide of public
opinion, or influenced, we hope, by a higher and holier impulse, had deter-
mined to relinquish the traffic in broken constitutions and broken hearts. Being
poor, he was unable to bear the loss of the stock on hand, and unwilling to
continue the business until the whole should be sold. A deputation from the
Washington Total Abstinence Society waited upon the dealer, and offered to
- take the liquor of his hands. It was taken from the shop, placed on the side-
walk, and notice given that its destruction would take place at twelve o’clock.
|At the time appointed, a large number of the residents of the neighborhood
having assembled, and after a few pertinent remarks by Rev. Mr. Spear, Mr.
Jenney, Vice President of the Society, with axe in hand, proceeded to knock in
the heads of the four casks, and rum, gin, brandy and wine flowed in a mingled
stream into the gutter, where many who were present had often been prostrated
thrºugh its influence. Three hearty cheers were then given, and the company
retired, leaving the mingled mass of evil spirits to sink quietly into the earth.”
This Mr. Jenney might well knock in these heads, for rum had long held him
in cruel vassalage. He was taken from “the prison of oakum-picking,” to
the business of picking up men from the gutter, and now, by the total absti-
mence sleight of hand, he takes great pleasure in putting the rum where it so
often put him.
“When the steamer Caledonia arrived in Boston, an express was sent on
the Western railroad to the city of New York, by the way of Springfield and
Hartford, the agent having previously ordered ºſe track at all the depots to be
kept clear in anticipation of the express. the agent at Warren, having a
car-load of new rum to unload for one of his neighbors, who deals very largely
in this bane of human happiness, and was anxious to supply his famished cus-
tomers with this “fireside right,” ºrdered the car on the track, and commenced
operations; but suddenly the engine came in contact with the car of rum, and
with three successive bººps knocked it completely of the track, demolishing
the hogsheads, and spilling the rum in the streets. An ardent worshiper at the
shrine of Bacchus-ºbserving the ‘dire calamity,” dug a hole with his hands in
the dirt, and ſet it fill with the affrighted rum, ordering his boy to run for a jug,
that he might save some of the nectar, to offer upon the altar of his satanic
majesty, but his son failing in time, the earth having in pity drank the *
dose, the enraged father gave him a severe flogging for being dilatory at such
an uncommon harvest.”—Temp. Recorder.

Irish Temperance Reformation.
The temperance reformation in Ireland, under the zeal and efforts of Father
Mathew, is a more sublime and interesting subject of contemplation than any
other in the history of science, philosophy, politics or philanthropy of the
present century. A variety of causes of long standing had contributed,against
climate, soil, intellectual power, and the best feelings of the human heart, to
make Ireland imbecile, ignorant and intemperate. Her population fled from
her hill-tops and coasts in despair, to die in the toil, exposure, and cheaper
drunkenness of foreign lands. Ireland seemed doomed to oppression, penury,
and degradation, and her sons were no less ill-fated abroad. But Father
Mathew with the total abstinence pledge has healed her sorrows, removed her
plague spots, and spread a mantle of peace and thanksgiving over all her cities
and hamlets and cabins. Intemperance made her weak, poor and depraved.
Temperance will make her strong, rich and exemplary. Her whisky excise no
longer impoverishes or makes strife, her riots and fights have ceased, her police
courts exist only in name, and her jails are without tenants. Father Mathew
and his six million tetotallers stand out the boldest feature in the great moral
and philanthropic lineaments of this age of benevolence and light:
In this country, and in this State especially, have we cause to rejoice in this
great mºvement. It was not confined to Ireland, but Father Mathews spºng
º in all our cities and large towns to preach temperance and to save their
fºllow-countrymen from the paths of the destroyer. Rev. Mr. MºDermott, of
Lowell, and the Rev. Dr. O'Flaherty, of this city, and many other Catholic
clergymen of our State will be held in long remembrance for their zeal and
labors among their own countrymen and flocks, for their great success, and for
the blessings which their efforts have brought upon multitudes as individuals,
and upon the country as a whole. The records of our police courts, the de-
posits at our savings institutions, the quiet of many a neighborhood, and the
plenty which exists where want had spent her strength, all testify to the change.
Although the pledge generally administered in this country is not teetotal
like Father Mathew’s, yet administered as it is by the Catholic clergymen, re-
ligiously, to the postulant upon the knee at the altar on the Sabbath, at the close
of worship, with “a promise to promote temperance,” the pledge is in effect
tetotal, and few of the thousands who have taken the pledge have fallen from
their sobriety. In this State, it is estimated that more than 10,000 have taken
the pledge. In New York city 10,000, Brooklyn 3000, Philadelphia 6000,
Albany 3200, Baltimore 3000, and so of other places. Says our annual report:
* This reformation has awakened a strong and fraternal interest in the Irish
nation. With high and joyous anticipations of the future, we see the sons of
Erin scattered up and down our land, breaking off the ſetters of a degradation
by no means exclusively their own, and assuming the position in society tº
which their distinguished lineage, benevolence of heart and native powers of
mind entitle them. They have done for themselves what others could not
have done for them. Sotºriety and industry will now bestow on them reputa-
tion and substance as deserving to them as useful and honorable to us.”
Said a grog-seller in Chicago a shºrt time since, “I have to-day seen a new
thing in Illinois. I have four Irishmen at work for me, and this morning
offered each of them a glass of whisky, and they every one refused.”
It is said that there are in London and the suburbs, fifty total abstinence
societies, with 10,000 members, of whom 3000 are reclaimed drunkards; in
the country, ninety societies, with 40,000 members of whom 4000 are re-
claimed drunkards. In Scotland 150,000 members, and in Ireland 5,500,000.

Military Musters.
It is not a matter of surprise to any one who takes a survey of past customs,
that intemperance grew so rapidly upon us. The celebration of our National
Independence—the town meeting—the raising—the husking—but more than
all, the military trainings, were among the customs which contributed to plant
the appetite and confirm the awful habit. We do not seek to charge the
military with any undue severity in this matter. Its history is a recºrd of
intemperance, riot, and ruin. The General, Captain, and Corporal treated at
their election—at the “wetting” of their cºmmissions—at the morning “wake
up,” and at the evening “dismissing.” The soldier drank at the expense of

and Navy will die under the change, unless an equivalent is paid for time,
exposure, and self-denial, in competition with all branches of domestic indus-
try ; they must soon be manned by men who seek fair wages rather than
the distilleries and grog-shops—who look for a better home than the hospital
and alums-house. -
The common soldiery—the old May Inspection and Autumn Musters, have
owed, are fast becºming tetotallers. The die is cast, the doctrine is settled,
We have several such companies now, and all must become such, or ...
to exist. Our young men of character will not enlist in any other company.
| Wine at the armory, in the march, in the tent, or at the supper, must cease, or
their arms will canker with rust, and their camps rot on the ground. The
music must come from cold water instruments, or the ear will become deaf to
its charms. The military excursions may attract the attention of strangers, but
iſ among their stores are ſound baskets of champagne or demijohns of whisky,
loafers and idlers may gaze and admire, but the cold water army will despise
and avoid. Parents and philanthropists cannot be too careful in preparing the
minds of our young men to resist the seductive influence of the military, º:
less the Cold Water Banner floats over the marque, tent, and armory of the
company. The excitement of parade, of drill, and of music will prepare the
way for the introduction of intoxicating drinks, unless the impregnable wall of
total abstinence is raised against it. Tºtor A1, written upon the foreheads
of the Secretaries of war and navy—upon the door posts of their depart-
ments—upon our forts and ships of war—at the headquarters of the General,
and over the cabin of the Commodore, will remove most of the chances of
war, and will make half the ſorce more efficient than the whole, in peace or war.
It is a source of pain and regret tº the friends of our cause, that our Gov-
ernors and other gentlemen of distinction, still place before our soldiery, at
their calls of respect and civility, intoxicating drinks as an expression of hospi
tality. At this day, it is as dishonorable to the one as it is degrading to the other.

Two Market-Baskets.
The difference between autobiography and experience is this, in one case
the life of an individual is written by himself, and in the other spoken by him-
self. In the former we have his book before our eyes, in the latter we have
the man himself. The first is confined to the rules of rhetoric and eloquence
of language, the other superadds the eloquence of life and feeling. The men
are few and far between who undertake to make a book about themselves, but
there are thousands now among us who are “telling their experience.” They
are drawing a chart of life, upon the mariner's principle. They show the rocks
and shoals, the monsoons and whirlpools, upon which they have been enguiſed,
without stopping to describe the smooth seas and fine winds and gallant bear-
ings of the well-manned and noble ship. Their object is not to ailure by the
virtues of past life, but by its miseries to warn against its mistakes and vices.
We have placed in our picture for the month the scene so often described by
John Hawkins of the drunkard and his two market-baskets. The experience
ºf the poor drunkard and his family is a sad one. His home is made desolate
by his own improvidence, idleness and appetite. Step by step, and day by day
poverty and want creep over his whole family and abode. In dress, furniture,
foºd and numberless comforts, the extreme ºf scantiness is the measure of ab-
solute necessity. John Hawkins accounts for all this in the mistaken opinions
of the drunkard, and the selfishness of the rum-seller. He says when the ºp-
petite has becºmestrong enough in the drinker to make him miss or feel uneasy
at the loss of his acºustomed dram, its gratification is for the ºme being equiv-
alent to the removal of pain, he feels better, and believes it has done him good.
He was uneasy, he is now at rest; he was weak, he now feels stronger; he
was depressed, he is now happy. As this difficulty and remedy go hand in
hand, and lead the poor victim into the deep destruction of the grog-shop, he
must and will have the wants and cravings of uppetite first answered, and then
as far as may be, the numerous wants of his family. Hence the two market-
baskets. The first bill to be paid is the grog-seller's. This is a cash concern,
and the poor drinker fears his supply will be stopped if he is not prompt. Rent,
food, clothing, fuel, &c., for his family, hang upon the surplus ºf his earnings.
Quantity in supply now becomes of more consequence than quality. Clothing
must be cheap, food simple, fuel scant. The first and best of his earnings, says
|Hawkins, goes to clothe the rum-seller's wife and children in silks and satins,
while he can scarce save a balance sufficient to get a ninepenny calico for his
own wife and children; to place a splendid piano in his elegant parlor, while
the song ºf joy at his own home is turned intº amentation and uproar. Upon
one arm the poor drunkard carries a market-basket for the rum-seller, filed
with ham and chickens, out of his small earnings, and upon the other he carries
another basket, with a few herring and potatoes, for his own family. The
rºm-selle sits at his ease, with fiſy or a hundred poor customers, who give
him a daily profit of one or two shillings, caring little for the misery and want
his own gains occasion to others. Hawkins nºw proposes to change the bas-
kets by a tºtal ºbstinence sleight-of-hand, and give tº the drunkara's family
the ham and chickens, and silks and pianos, and let the rum-seller try the her-
|rings and potatoes. Ah, it has been tried in thousands of instances, and is
found to wºrk exceedingly well. The Lord bless yºu, Hawkins, and aſ ºthers
who with singleness of heart and pious purpose, labor to bring about this joyous
result.
a reformed character once said, when I was a drunkara, the run-selle
liked my money better than me, and I can see no good reasºn now that I ºn
sober man, why I should not like my money better than the rum-seller.”

Thanksgiving Pies.
Aunt Sarah. Miss Ellen, I am very glad your mother let you come to
Thanksgiving early enough to see me make my temperance pies.
Ellen. I am glad, too, aunt Sarah, for mother says you are a first-rate
cook, and I should like to take a few lessons. But what do you call temper-
ance pies? I should like to know.
Munt Sarah. The temperance reform has introduced many changes in our
cookery, for we find the use of intoxicating drinks, like one of the Egyptian
plagues, has reached our “ovens and kneading-troughs." In making mince-pies,
we have been accustomed to put in a little brandy or wine, and always cider,
but we now think it wrong to use any such article to wet our mince meat with,
and so we call pies made without such liquors temperance pies.
Ellen. Well, aunt, I do think that it is carrying the thing too far. The
pledge is not to drink, and I should say that putting a little into pies, or
cake, or pudding-sauce, would not make drunkards or break the pledge.
Mºunt Sarah. Perhaps it would not strictly be a violation of the pledge, as
to the use, but we pledge not to traffic in them; and we must look at remote
influences and consequences. If I should use brandy, wine or cider in my
cooking, I must buy it, and if I buy it, I help sustain the traffic; and if the
rumseller were complained of for selling, he would point me out as one of his
customers, and the drunkard would say he might as well drink a Little as
eat a little. My influence would thus be bad in two respects.
Ellen. Can you make your pies as good?
Munt Sarah. Yes, my dear, I think I can You can judge whether they
are not good enough. There is about as great a mistake in the use of brandy
in pies as for a drink, and the sooner we get it out of our kitchens the better.
The alcohol of the brandy all bakes out, there is none left in after baking-
The heat is so great to bake the pie, that the alcohol all escapes. The log-
wood, alum, burnt sugar, bitter almonds, &c., of which the brandy in part is
made, are left in, and may change the taste a little; but if it is necessary to
have such drugs in our food, we can put them in without buying brandy. We
can put in something else that will do just as well, and we shall not sustain the
rum-seller, or have the name of buying brandy and wine.
Ellen. What do you put in your pies as a substitute?
Aunt Sarah. There are manythings that will do. Tamarind-water, the
syrup of pear, quince, or apple-preserves, lemon-juice, with water and sugar,
and anything which will furnish acid, mucilage and sugar. There are a great
many ways of making sauces, without such liquors, and I have made up my
mind that I will do without at any rate. I have no disposition to cherish the
trade by buying it, and have no wish to eat an article that is so destructive as
º drink, and I am sure that I can afford to make a change in my cookery, for
the sake of the temperance cause. I am not one of those who say that they
will not give it up in cooking. To redeem the land and world from intemperance
may well require great sacrifices, much more the little sacrifices and changes
expected of most of the friends of our great cause.
| Ellen. Well, aunt, I know I should not like to give up wine on pancakes.
|You must remember that wine and pancakes are a favorite dish with us.
| Mºnt Sarah. Yes, it is; but you will be a poor soldier in the cold water
army if you cannot give up one favorite dish for the sake of aiding a cause that
will bring food and clothing and comfortable homes and kind fathers to thou-
sands of little children, and which shall save other thousands from coming to
poverty; and besides, lemon-juice and sugar are better than wine on pancakes.
Come, dear Ellen, we can all do a little in this cause, and as our sacrifices are

our limits. The plan of proceedings adopted by the Society, leaves, as
The operations of this Society must of necessity be of a general charac-
ter. Being a State organization, it can only act as the great wheel to set
in motion a multitude of little machinery which we must connect with it.
Its smallest point of action is a town; and it only proposes to send its
agent to each town to deliver a lecture once in a year. Thus far, it has
not been able to do even that, it has had but two permanent agents during
the past year, and one of them has been much occupied in the superinten:
dense of its affairs at home. In addition to these lectures, it proposes to
publish its monthly Journal and its quarterly Tract, and send them to the
towns. To expect to accomplish our enterprise by means so general,
without the addition of the individual labor here suggested, would be as
prºposºrous as tº expect to produce a manufactured fabric by bringing
bales of cotton into tontact with the great wheel of a factory.
In each town, individuals must take up the work where the Society
leaves it. Each tºwn is of itself a great field that individual laborers must
Availing ourselves of the municipal organization thus established, we shall
have no difficulty in reaching every member of the community. It is
not too great a tax upon the time of any friend of temperance to act as a
committee for circulating the publications and the pledge of the Society
throughout his school district. A few friends of the cause can easily do
this work in rotation; and in this department of labor, female influence
may act in its appropriate sphere, and with great usefulness.
Wherever this system of labor is faithfully pursued, it is sure to be sue-
cessful. It has succeeded in the most discouraging cases. He knew more
than one district where there were searcely friends enough of the cause
to organize in the outset, but by continued meetings and repeated circu-
held, it was resolved to int a committee for each district. But in one
of the districts there was not known to be a single friend of the cause.
All the people were supposed to be hostile. Only ºne person present could
he induced to undertake to act as committee for that district, and he ae-
cepted with hesitation. He set out upon his duty with the expectation of
receiving insults; but to his surprise, found himself cordially received in
most of the families; civilly treated in all; and some fourteen heads of
families were induced to subscribe the pledge.
We are in danger of overestimating the amount of labor that has been
done in this cause. Because so much has been done, we imagine the
there is a large population scattered throughout most of our towns, who have
in churches, and these are situated in central villages. The audiences are
is almost stale. A great amount of labor is thus lost in arguing to those
who are already convinced, and persuading those whose practice is already
right, while those who have need of the lectures, either stay away from
choice, or cannot conveniently attend.
We have, even in Massachusetts, enlightened as we esteem this state

to be on this subject, many a dark corner, that must be enlightened by in-
dividual labor. Our cause must have its retailers to take up the subject
where this Society leaves it, just as the cause of intemperance has its re-
tailers scattered through every neighborhood, to take the poison from the
wholesale dealer, and deal it out to individuals, bottle by bottle and dram
by dram.
At Springfield,the cold water army have been found very efficient agents
for the circulation of publications. After Mr. Crosby and Dr. Jewett had
been there and addressed the children on the subject, they were so anxious
to organize, that their wishes were acceded to, and they commenced their
| labors with great zeal. Each undertook to act as a committee to circulate
the pledge and enlist recruits. In a few days one reported twenty, another
thirty, another fifty, and so on, till they now amounted to more than five
hundred.
Just before their organization, the quarterly Tract had been received,
containing the speeches of the reformed drunkards. These were put into
the hands of the boys for distribution, and the work was immediately and
faithfully done. They did not omit the taverns and grog-shops, and the
houses of drinking men. The tract had excited much interest; and it was
remarked by one gentleman that it was impossible to take it up without
reading it through The children can put these publications, without
offence, into families, where we could not go without exciting hostility.
And in some instances the children themselves belong to families where
the interests of temperance have never before been regarded. |
The usefulness of enlisting children in this cause, and especially of ob-
taining their pledge, has been doubted by many. But there is no just
|ground for such doubts. A child who can understand the difference be-
tween virtue and vice, is old enough to be pledged to the side of virtue.
The pledge of his untarnished honor and of his unviolated truth is a very
| useful auxiliary to his sense of duty. And there is a natural alliance be-
|tween the virtues as well as between the vices. The child who is engaged
in promoting temperance, becomes interested in other virtues, and opposes
other vices as well as that of intemperance. Some of the boys in Spring-
field refused to receive one lad as a member of the cold water army,
because he was so profane; and consulted a gentleman on the question,
whether they ought to let him join, unless he would leave off swearing.
The work of individual labor is the most interesting which the cause
now presents to us. We can see intemperance as it is, only by visiting
the dwellings of drinking men. We there learn the thrilling tales of
wretchedness that form the most valuable materials for temperance address-
es, and furnish irresistible motives for pressing forward in our enterprise.
| And the more thoroughly and diligently we pursue the work, the sooner
our labors will close. Temperance societies were not designed for per-
manence. The permanent institutions which God has established for the
sustenance of virtue are the family, the State, and the church. But when
the moral sentinent of the community becomes diseased, and its ordinary
aliment is not sufficient to restore health, these extraordinary measures
are to be resorted to as a medicine. They are of course, temporary, and
are to be laid aside when health is restored. We trust there will not be
occasion to continue this Society many years longer. We trust there are
many now here, who will be able to meet at its last anniversary, and to
say that in Massachusetts, at least, the work is done, and the energy that
has been devoted to it may be at liberty to turn itself to the imprºmº
of our schools and to other objects of benevolence that need our aid. We
|ought already to direct our thoughts to the time when we shall meet here,
no for the purpose of forming new plans, or exciting each other to new
º for the promotion of temperance, but to celebrate a Jubilee.

Mr. O’Connell and Tetotalism.
* I am sorry if injured them (the vintners of Dublin) by becoming a
teetotaller, but I am not sorry for being a teetotaller (Lond cheers.)
Are there any teetollars here? (Loud cheers, and eries of “Yes.") At
that rate I am not surprised that the vintners should lose customers.
(Cheers). Now, my friends, 1 implore you to mark me. Most of you
know that about eight years ago 1 found in this eity a brewery premises
in a state of excellent order, with all the utensils. I found no person
bidding for them, and I bought them for my youngest son. I put capital
into it, and it has been used for almost eight years, and what is the con-
sequence of teetotalism 2 My son entered into a speculation by which
he expected to realize an ample fortune, and teetotalism foreed him to
give it up. So you see I am a common sufferer with the vintners. (Hear.)
Father Mathew's ºwn brºther had a brewery, which teetºtalism obliged
him to give up. Father Mathew's brother-in-law had a brewery, which
teetotalism forced him to give up. So it is not the vintners alone have
suffered by teetotalism; but iſ I lost all the elections that ever were lost
or gained, I would not give up teetotalism. I am proud of it; it is a virtue
taught me by the people. I have been long sustaining the people and
setting myself up as their schoolmaster in political morality; but in this
the people have given me instruction, and have set me an example which
I feel proud to follow. (Cheers.) I did not like to see the people better
than myself, and to be equal with the people I became a teetotaller.”
A certain Doctor of Divinity in Philadelphia was delivering a lecture
on temperance in which he undertook to defend wine-drinking from the
scriptures. After he had closed, a gentleman rose, and requested permission
to address the meeting. Permission being granted, he remarked he had
known a young man, who was addicted to intemperance, who at length, by
the affectionate and persevering persuasions of his friends, was induced by
them to their great joy, to sign a pledge of total abstinence from all that
intoxicates. sº the appetite was strong, and he found it difficult to
control it. At length being present where the glass of wine was offered,
he saw a clergyman take the intoxicating cup, at the same time saying a
few words in defence of the practice. This was too much for the young
man's resolutions. If a clergyman could drink wine, and quote scripture

was then rapid, and he soon died of delirium tremens Pausing for a mo-
ment, while his bosom seemed bursting with emotion, he added—That
young man was my only son, and the Reverend Doctor, who has ad-
dressed us this evening, was the clergyman, by whose example he was
induced to break his pledge-Maine Temperance Gazette.

A Warning to Young Females.
Many years ago, an aged clergyman related to the writer the following
dreadful story of a young lady, a member of his church. She was very
prepossessing in her manners and had many admirers. Among them was
one who won her affections; but before she gave away her heart irrevo-
cably, she thought she would consult her pastor. She asked him his opin
ion about it, and he answered her by asking this question: “Does he
not drink too much?" She answered, “He might have done so formerly,
but he has reformed.” “How reformed?” “He now drinks very little,
if any.” The old man could see farther than she, and said, “I advise you
not to marry him, because he will very likely become a drunkard; this
habit will increase upon him, and before he or you are aware, he will be-
come a sot."
Love proved more powerful than the old pastor's faithful warning
She married. She trusted her influence would draw him away from his
evil habits, whatever they might be. But “Hope told a flattering tale.”
She found to her sorrow that love had little power to win him from his
cups. After a while they moved from his neighborhood, and he lost sight
of them for many years. In the course of a journey, he passed a day or
two in the neighborhood of their distant residence. He there learned his
course of life, and the end. He continued to drink, until he would often
have the delirium tremens, and require three or four neighbors to watch
him to prevent his destroying himself. During these ſits, which lasted
three or four days, the moment he slept soundly the fit would leave him,
and he would slowly recover. But the appetite was so strong upon him,
that neither the horrors of this disease, nor the love, if he had any re-
maining, for his wife and little ones, nor even life itself, which he must
have been aware would be the final sacrifice if he did not quit, could pre-
vent his return to his miserable course of intemperance.
At last Gºd seemed to give him up Just before the visit above spoken
of, he had another º attack of the delirium tremens. Four men
|were watching him; his wife was lying down in the kitchen, his little
boy in his room. About midnight, he ſeigned himself asleep; the men
supposing that, as usual, the fit would now leave him, went home. In a
few minutes after they were gone, he arose from the bed, and his little
son knowing there was danger, slipped out of another door, and ran as
fast as he could to call the neighbors, who were a quarter of a mile distant;
they returned as fast as they could. When they came near, they saw that
all was dark, and as they entered the kitchen, they heard something fall
as ifin a puddle of water on the floor. When they had procured a light,
they found that this was the last motion of life in the poor inebriate, as
his leg had risen and fallen in the stillness of death in his own blood; for
the had cut his throat; and on the same floor was found the remains of his
poor worn out wife, hacked to pieces with an axe.
Comment is needless; such a story preaches more effectually than the
most labored argument. Let the young be warned; let our warm-hearted
female friends beware how they yield their hearts to any but a consistent
tetotaler.—W. Y. Organ.
The Rev. John Frost, of Whitesborº, N. Y., states that a distillery at
Waterville, near by, has failed for $35,000; another at Qrishang Falls,
for above $30,000; another near Elinton, for $15,000; making in all up-
wards of $80,000. After disposing of all the property of the proprietors,
it is supposed there will remain a dead loss to the creditors ºf #40,000.
The loss falls principally on the workmen money-lenders, farmers *
* who have opposed or stood aloof from the temperance reform.

The Temperance Reform.
“Not unto us, O Lord, not unto us, but unto thy name give glory.”
What can be more astonishing than the recent reform of so many thou-
sands of the slaves of intemperance in our land, and what can be cause of
greater thankfulness and gratitude to the great Benefactor of man! In
view of it, well may we exclaim,
Triumphs of grace abound,
The “lost,” the “lost are found,”
Glory to God!
Those who were sunk in sin,
Their lives anew begin,
The conquest now they win,
O'er lusts abhorred.
Joy, joy, on earth again;
* Peace and good-will to men
New songs in heaven:
The captive is set free,
No longer shall he be
The slave of misery,
By passion driven.
---
Spread the glad tidings round,
To earth's remotest bound,
Till all are blest;
Tell of the conquests won,
Tell what God's grace has done,
How many a weary son
Of wo finds rest.
The temperance banner spread,
Ring Alcohol shall dready-
His hosts retreat-
* Qur cause, our cause,” gains ground,-
Let works of love abound,
Till victory shall sound
O'er sin's defeat.
THE TRAFetc. in Isºtoxicaring DRINRs is mona Lºy wºosa -1. It
inculcates falsehood. 2. It perpetuates intemperance. 3. It promotes
pauperism and crime. 4. It diminishes the wealth of the nation. 5. It
increases the public burden. 6. It impairs the health of the people. 7.
it deteriorates their intellect 8. It corrupts the public morals. 9. It
|shortens many lives. 10. It ruins immortal souls:
and is a wºuliº Fatalº-The late Chief Justice Platt declared that for
Thirty years he had kept written notes respecting several hundreds who
had been engaged in the manufacture or sale of alcoholic liquors; of them
he could say, that twenty-four out of twenty-five had become drunkards,
or some of their families had and twenty-seven out of twenty-eight had
lost money by the business; the most of whom had made themselves
bankrupt in fortune and character. Is not God's curse on the busi.
ness? Who encourages it? The mones are pºisºn, principally. What
is the amount of the responsibility of every one of these: Eternity alone
can tell; so vast it is. -

Advice to all who sign the Temperance Pledge.
Do not, on any account, violate your pledge.
Try to understand the principles of temperance.
Choose the virtuous as your constant companions.
Make restitution for the injuries you have done.
Contract no debts under the cloak of your temperance profession.
Never report your brethren's faults in their absence.
Restore those who fall, in the spirit of meekness.
Beware of pride and a contentious spirit.
Abhor selfishness and consider the poor.
10. Exercise patience towards the poor drunkard.
11. Visit at least seven drunkards every week.
12 Convince by persuasion instead of violence.
13. Save the rising generation from intemperance.
14. You ought to redeem all your mis-spent time.
15. Give up the practice of using tobacco.
16. Attend the meetings as often as possible.
17. In your addresses avoid all personal attacks.
18. Do not introduce politics, for they are unprofitable.
19. Religious sectarianism should also be avoided.
20. Deal not in false and exaggerated statements.
21. Live yourself, and train your children in the fear of God.
22. Increase in charity, prudence and piety.
Apples.
Farmers' pull down your cider-mills, turn your old casks into steamers
and fuel, cook your apples for your swine or ſeed them to your cattle, and
thus reap the advantages tendered to you. Our cut represents a copper
boiler, containing ten gal-
lons, for generating steam,
with a lead pipe to con-
duct it into a cask hung
upon a stick resting upon
crotches. The cask may
be filled with apples, pota-
* toes, and pumpkins, and
covered; and when the contents are steamed, may be emptied into the
cooling and mashing tub by a boy. The boiler has a fixed tube turned
upward for the double purpose of receiving water with the aid of a tunnel,
and to let of steam by the pipe. There are two coºks also, one to deter-
mine the height of the water, the other to let of the water. Farmers will
perceive the advantages are in location, economy of fuel, in labor of hand-
ling, and a convenient apparatus for heating water, when hot water is
wanted. The boiler will cost five or six dollars only.
Tit for Tat-
The poor Indian gave us tobacco–we gave him rum. We chew his
weed and squirt out the juice—he takes our drink and swallows it—
drunkenness is added to his filthiness—flininess to our drunkenness.
His throat is an open sepulchre-out months. He gets steam; we get smoke
—his brain is ºutdled—our noses tickled. He disgorges by the way side
—we in the chimney corner. We made him disagreeable to his squaw–
he made us disagreeable to our wives. His wife learned to drink–ours
to take snuff.

What shall be the drink of the Reformed Men.
It is all important for those who would be cured of intemperance, to
know how they should proceed in future respecting drinks. Some have
heretofore recommended wine to such persons, some ale or strong beer,
and others cider. The only safe course, however, is to abstain wholly
and totally from all alcoholic drinks, by which I mean everything which
can intoxicate. The inebriate especially, should resolve to touch not,
taste not, handle not the poison. In this course there is safety, and in
no other. Even cider will induce a love of something stronger, and as
the natural tendency is to desire an increase of strength, it will increase
the danger of a relapse. On this subject, principle should guide a man,
and not appetite, or fashion, or the opinions of others.
The intemperate man, rescued from his dangers, standing aloof from
all intoxicating articles, is perfectly safe: he can never become intem-
perate again. Allow him one drink of cider, or one glass of wine to begin
with, and can this be said of him Certainly not. He must stand firm
tº his principle of tasting nothing which can intoxicate, both now and
for ever Strong beer is worse than cider. Wine is worse than either.
The question then presents itself—what shall be the drink of those
persons who have abandoned alcohol in all its forms: To that question
the temperance community would answer, “Principally water.” This is
doubtless the natural drink of all animals: it is the purest and most ap-
propriate drink in its natural state, as received from the fountain; pure
sold water, the greatest luxury in creation, incomparably more congenial
to the taste of the thirsty man than any other liquid, however costly, and
however mixed to gratify the taste-Dr. Woodward.
Fire! Fire. Fire.
The duties of a Fireman involve great responsibility and great danger. He isºlable to
ne called at any moment of the day or night; and he must start instantly and run to the
ºn-ine. No time is to be lost. Five minutes' delay, or inefficient labor at the scene of ae-
tion may prove fatal. He should possess great firmness, caution and energy. His utmost
shameful tº tempt or urge him to drink intoxicating drinks at a fire. Shame on the man
who offered rum at the fire near Distillery square, and let blessings rest upon the milkman
who surrendered his cans of milk tº the thirsty, fainting insulted firement Parents, see
pºwers are put in requisition. How necessary that he should be a cold-water man How
to it that your sons belong tº cold water companies, as well as to cºld water engines.

A. Curiosity.
A man living in the town of H-, Maine, who had been a most notorious drunkard
for many years, often drunk two weeks at a time, was induced to join the “Total Abst.
nence Society,” about five months ago, and has been faithful to his pledge ever since
| Not long after he had become a sober man, he requested three of his former bottle com-
panions to visit his house, and he would show them a curiosity. They accepted the offer,
and when they arrived at his home they saw a new much cow in an enclosure. “There,”
said the once wretched drunkard, there it is (nointing to the cºw), and it is mine. Just
four weeks ago signed the pledge; my family have lived comfortably: paid twenty silver
dºllars for this cow from my earnings, and have named her Tºrºnancy.” He also
added, “My wiſe this morning milked the cow, and it is the first milk we have had for
eight years that was not begged.”
A few years ago a very worthy laboring man in Salem, who had been
so unfortunate as to acquire the habit of drinking spirits, becoming con-
|vinced of its ruinous tendency, had strength of mind to form an effectual
|ºlutiºn of future abstinence. At that time he had a wºoden box made
with a hole in the lid, and labelled “rum,” into which he every day
dropped as much money as he had been in the habit of spending for liquor.
The box was never opened till very recently, when, on counting the sum.
it was found to amount to a sum sufficient to purchase him a house lot.
and materially aid in putting up a neat and comfortable house.
Says a correspondent: “A certain butcher in Kennebec, a few weeks
since, told me he had many good customers among the Washingtonians,
who had never before been able to purchase meat; and that one had just
paid him for meat had nine years since. He had dunned for it frequently,
|but at last gave it up, but now got it without asking-Muine Tºm. Guz.
* What harm is there in a pipe?" said young Puff well. “None, that
I know of,” said his companion, “except that smoking induces drinking
–drinking induces intoxication—intoxication induces bile-bile induces
jaundice-jaundice leads to dropsy which terminates in death.” Put
that in your pipe and smoke it. -
