—The Itev. S. W. Hanks recently made
a speech to the prisoners confined in the
Maine State Prison, on the subject of
Temperance, and at the close of his re
marks proposed a vote, requesting all
who wanted to have the liquor shops open
when their terms of service expired, to
signify it by'raising their bands. A mo
ment of silence ensued, but not a hand
appeared. He asked them if they were
in .favor of a prohibitory law, and the
hands could not be- counted. There was
a unanimous vote in favor of closing the
drinking shops. These wen know full
well, that strong drink is the great cause
of all their woe.—Christian Secretary.
—The State Tem : pert - pee Journal ad
vOcatei the enactment of a law similar
to that which is said to exist in some
European country, forbidding a drink
ing.man to marry, and remarks that "if,
into:apex:ince increases' much longer, as
it has a few years past, the people will
be quite ready'for-a law of the kind."
That it is inexpressibly desirable to pre-,
vent the marriage 'relation from being
formed by persons who are becoming
drunkards, is unquestionable, whether
we are ready. for a prohibitory law of
this. sort or not. We are repeatedly
amazed beyond measure at the infatua
tion of - ednitecting
themselyes.for life, Ivith,men q drinking
habits,-and no leis amaied'at - the friends
of these young,, women for encouraging
such connections.

—The Indianapolis, Sentinel of the
24th ult., says: "A salbon-keeper in the
southern part of the city opened his
place yesterday, displiying an open Bible
and a pitcher of clear, cold water on the
counter. As his regular customers drop
ped in he invited them to quench their
thirst from the ' waters of life.' "
—A. correspondent of the London
Times says the colony of New South
Wales is becoming pauperized through
intemperance. Of course the people
must not protect themselves against this
terrible curse by a legal measured
,it
would be interfering with the rights of
the pauper makers.
—Dr. Albert Day, the skillful, super
intendent of the` Bingbampton Home fbr
Inebriates, tells us that " the general
effect of, excessive drinking is to enlarge
the globules which the brain,',-the
liver, and other organs are composed, so
that those globules, as it were, stand
open-mouthed, athirst, inflamed, and most
eager to be filled. Everything within the
drunkard gapes• and
" hungers for the ac
customed stimulant. , Even after eigh
teen years of strict abstinence, Dr. Day
has known the old appetite to break out
simply from the Medicinal use of a little
wine. The old furor thus enkindled
led to delirium tremens.
—I have read a thrilling story of a
merchant who was one evening celebrat
ing the marriage of his daughter. While
th guests were enjoying themselves
above, ho chanced to go to the basement
hall below ,
where he met a servant, car
ryinc, a lighted ° candle,'without a candle
stick. She passed on to the cellar for
wood, and returning quicklrwithout the
candle, the merchant suddenly remem
bered that during the day several barrels
of gunpowder had been placed in the
cellar, one .of which had been opened.
Inquiring what she had done with the
candle, to his amazement and horror her
reply was that,, not being able to carry it
with the wood, she had set it in a small
barrel of "black sand" in the Cellar.
He flew to the spot. A..long, red snuff
was just ready to fall froth the wick into
the mass of powder, when, with great
• presence of mind, placing' one hand on
each side of the candle, and making his
hands meet at the top over the wick, he
safely removed it_
from the barrel. At
first he smiled at his previous terror, but
the reaction was so great that it was
weeks before he overcame, the shock
which his nerves had sustained in that
terrible moment. There are candles in
many a barrel of gunpowder to day.
Many houses have already been blown to
ruin by them. There is a candle, in the
cellar of the wine bibber. It burns
brighter with the added fuel of every
cup he drains, and before he is aware all
his hopes fof 'this 'World and the next
will be blown up with &ruin more terri
ble than.any deittnction which gunpow
der can bring. There is a candle in the
cellar of the liquor dealer, burning
slowly, but surely. -He' who is dealing
death to others will yet be startled by a
sudden blasting of his'own peace, when
the anger of God, restrained no longer,
shall fall upon hith in a moment."
" Every way of a man is right in his own
eyes,but the Lord pondereth the hearts."
"He that by usury, and 'unjust gain in
creaseth his substance shall gather it for
him that' will pity the:'poor." "If ye
forbear to deliver them that are drawn
unto death, and those that are ready to
be slain ; if thou Gayest, ' Behold, we
know it not,' doth not he that pondereth
the heart consider it? And he that
keepeth thy soul, doth he not know it?
And shall he not render to every man ac
- cording to hil workS?"
—At ,a•moetiug-Pf the friends of Total
Abstinence in Manchester, a Mr. Claren
don said cif the British liquor traffic :
One hundred iziillions sterling, were year
ly cou,:uLued in alcoholic liquor, This,
in eight years, would pay off the whole
of our national debt ; it was equal to
nearly one half of our entire exports.
and more than equaled the entire amount
of our taxation, whether raised for im
perial revenue or for local purposes. One
tenth of it would give the whole kingdom
"a free breakfast table," and it would
be sufficient to reclaim our waste lands,
establish waterworks and public baths,
rebuild and improve our towns, found a
complete system of free education, and
relieve the deserving poor, Without the
humiliation and hardships of the present
poor law system. The estimated yearly
income of those who received weekly
wages is £320,000,000, so that we must
conclude that at least 20 per cent of this
amount was spent in the gin palace and .
the beg-shops. ,Another five p . 9 1 ,1 cent.
was required to maintain the police and
build jails and work-houses. It .was fur

TESTIMONIALS,
The Waters Pianos are; known +►s -among the
very best.---[New York Evangelist.
We can , speak of the merits, of the Waters
Pianos from personal knowledge, aebeing of the
very best quality.—[Chriatian Ate%Sneer.
The Waters Pianos are built of the best and
most thoroughly seasoned material.—[Advocate
and Journal.

parison with the finest made, anywhere in the
country.—[Home
Our friends will find at Mr. Waters' store the
very best assortment of Organs and - Pianos to be
foundin the United States.---[Grahant's Magazine.
- MUSICAL DOINGS.—Sinoe -Mr. Horace Waters
gave up publishing sheet music he has devoted
his whole capital and attention to the manufac
ture and sale of Pianos and Melodeons. He has
just issued a catalogUe of his new "instruments,
giving a new scale of prices, which shows a
marked reduction from formet• rates, and his
Pianos have recently been " awarded the First
Premium at several Fairs. Many people of the
present day, who are attracted, if not confused,
with the flaming advertisements of rival piano
houses, probably overlook a modest manufacturer
like Mr. Waters; but we happen to know that his
instruments earned him a good reputation' long
before Expositions and the '• honors" connected
therewith were ever thought of ;' , indeed, we have
one of Mr. Waters' piano-fortes now in our resi-
Aeorie.(where it has stood for years,) of which
any manufacturer in the world, might" well be
proud. We have always beeti'delighted with it
as a sweet-toned and poWeifu instrument, and
there is no doubt-of its durability; more than
this, some of- the. , best amateur' players in the
city, as several celebrated pianists; have perform
ed on the said piano, and all pronounced it a su
perior andfirst-cluas instrument. Stronger indorse
ment we could. not give. : —Effonie Journal.
