it really Is. When, the highly wrought description of the drinking scene is banished from the pages of. the modern novel, or if mentioneel, is stigmatized in burning letters of reprobation; when the drunkard himself is depicted not as a good fellow, but as a great sinner against his own and others' souls; when the wine song echoes no longer from the parlor and the club-room, and poets cease to be priests of the Bacchic orgies; when history, faithful to her trust tells of dissipation and luxury as among the surest sources of national ruin; and ethics, redeemed from the fear of man, points out in pure nnd holy temperance the antidote of very much of our social and political misery, then shall a great step have been ta-' ken to shield our youth from danger and free our land from woe. For as it was of old, with the ballads, so is it now with tho books of a nation. They mould the plastic mind of youth, and their silent influence is mightier than thousands of living orators or count less words of denunciation and appeal.

Mrs.Jctt, Supt. Juveniles- Meeting every other Thursday. DR, TALMAGE ON HIGH LICENSE. Do you not see that tliis high-license movement strikes at the heart of the best homes in America? That it proposes the fattest lambs for it's sacraliee? That it is at war with the most domestic circles in America? Tell it to all the philanthropists who are trying to make the world better, and let the journalists tell Ithy pen and by type, that this, day in presence of my Maker and my I stamp on this license movement as the monopoly of abomination. It proposes to pair with honor, to pillar with splendor and guard with moneip-listic advantage a business which has made the ground hollow under Kngland Scotland and America, with catacombs of slaughtered drunkards.

I am opposed to hi.jh license it is anti- A-mencan, it is anti-common sense, it is anti-demonstrated facts, audit is anti-Christian. Our Revolutionary fathers wrote lirst with pen and then with swords, first in black ink and then with red ink, that all men are equal before the law. Impartially written on the Declaration of Independence, on the Constitution of the United States and over the door of State mid National capitals. Now; now, then, dare you to propose for SoOO or SI, 000 to let one man sell sweetned dynamite, while you deny to his fellow the right because he cannot rais-e more than $1(10 nor more than $(), or "cannot raise anything? Are the small ce.ile.'s in this festive liquid to 1 ave no rights? I plead for the lights of these men who are doing a small, pradent, economical business in selling extract of logwood, strychnine and blue vitriol! What right have you to say to these wealthy men who are standing beside their great con Ihigration of temptation, ahead," while you deny the poor fellow in the traffic so much an to strike a Inciter match? Now, this high-license movment is the property qualification in the offensive shape. Why do you not carry it out in other things? Why do you not stop all those bakers, until the bakers can pay $1, 000 license? Why do you not shut up all the butcher shops until the butchers can pay from to SI Why do you not stop these thread and needle stores and 'small dry-goods establishments, except that a man pays $300 or SI "Oh," you say, "that is different." lie is it different? "Well," you say, "the sale ef meats and clothes docs in damage." Ah, my brother, you have surrendered the whole subject.

If run -selling is right, let all have the right, and if it is wrong or $1,000 are only a bribe to tho Government to give men privilege which it denies to the masses of poople. The Literature of Intemperance. A subtle source of danger arises from the effects of the literature ofintemparan.ee. Poetry has long ministered to this dread vice. From the Bacchic odes of the GreeianAnacreon, and the graceful wine Beings of the Iloman IIo-ratius, down to our own age, when Moore and Byron have lent their mighty powers to throw new enchantments around the foaming tankard or the ivy-wreathed cup, and make more attractive the slavery of sensuality, poetry has battled for wine.

And even prose is far from being pure. To literary men drunkenness seems but a venial sin, and while many of them have fallen, like the common herd of drunkards, before it assaults, too many have prostituted their pons to make attractive and synonymous with all that is generous, noble, whole- In Advance. ir All papers sent to subscribers from this oflice, with sin afllxcd to your inline, may consider that your subscription lias run out or due, and we kindly request you to renew your subscription earlj, to avoid any delay in receiving the paper.
