The literary matter is of a choice variety. The illustrations are eration, several of the committees disposed of all their ticketson the first day. The employees of the factories of Messrs. Mann came almost in a body, as did also the Montgomery lodge of Good Templars, many of whom are from those works. The excellent lecture, which was on the Dignity ot Labor, was especially appro priate to and seemed to be highly appre ciated by them. It would be doing good service to the country if the excellent lec ture of the Rev. Gentleman could be de livered to the laboring classes throughout our entire land. Professor Sharp and the pupils of his prosperous Seminary, (now in charge of the County Superintendent, Prof. Moh ler,) were also present. Indeed such an interest was manifested, that wagons had to be procured to accommodate those who had no means of conveyance. The roads were in very bad condition, but with all these disadvantages, there were from 250 to 300 people present. The proceeds amounted to between S7O and $75, which 1 understood was the largest amount re ceived by the Lecturer at any one place. The committee feel confident that had the roads been good SIOO would have been realized. Dr. G. V. Mitchell presided on the occasion and introduced the speaker with a few pertinent remarks. John Hayes, esq., ottered a resolution tendering the thanks of the audience to Mr. McClean, and was followed by a res olution from Gen. Taylor, "That notwithstanding we were charged with old fogyism, we can appreciate such a treat as we have just had." The 100 th Psalm, to thetuneof Old Hun dred, was sung by the choir, the whole congregation rising to their feet, which contributed much to the interest of the occasion, and the proceedings closed with the benediction. I think I may add that all went home pleased with the lecture and impressed with the great importance of the truths presented. A LABORER. For the Gazette. Found Papers. A short time ago a bundle of papers was found, no owner for which can be discov ered. Someextracts are furnished, which may perhaps interest the readers of the Gazette. The following was no doubt in tended for a temperance speech : Feller Citizens and Ladies and Gentle men—You all know me like an old book and that 1 was sometimes called a hard case. Well, I don't know but you were about right, for the truth is I have some times done hard things; and if I only had the gift of the gab as well as my friend on the right, I could tell you astring of facts that would reach from Philadelphia to Pittsburg. Licker has cost me a good deal, more than you'd guess. In thefirst place, when I'd get drunk and come home the old woman—whom by the by I can never repay for her kindness and forbear ance —came in for a share of abuse, and though 1 say it with shame, I more than once cursed her, and for all I know per haps struck her. Next it cost me a good deal of money, more than 1 can tell, but when I think that ten cents a day spent for liquor is $38.50 a year —that two drinks a flay cost $73 a year—that three drinks a flay cost $109.50 a year—and that five drinks, which I am sure 1 have often ta ken year in ami year out, cost $182,50 a year, and that I have done this or worse for more years than I care to tell, the fig ures stare me in the face and teil me that lor half my working days 1 have been toiling hard for the whisky makers and whisky sellers. Other bitter reflections come with these facts. I have swallowed a good house and ! lot—l have gulped down a moderate-sized i farm —two or three canal boats —a drove I of horses and mules, and harness enough : to till a saddler's shop. And what do you j think I got for helping the whisky men :to all this? Why I'll tell you, several ; times, when my money was all gone, I | was told, " Get out of this, you d—d drunk en scoundrel!" " Oh! but," says a fine gentleman who has brandy bottles at home or a barrel of whisky in his cellar, " you had no busi ness to get drunk ; I don't go to such pla ces." That's fine talk, my good fellow, but I am not sure you always go to bed sober. And besides, your son goes to such places if you don't, aye, and gets drunk too behind your back. Talk like this won't pass any longer. Men like you put temptation in our road in almost every square. Your legislators do it, your courts do it, your lawyers do it, your jurors do it. and because we have our failing in not being able to resist the evil you putin our way, you turn round and curse us. Take the saw logs out of your own eyes, you self-important gentlemen, before 3-011 ask us to remove our rafters. \\ e want willing hands to help us out of the mire. We have tried to keep out of the way, but 30U will put it before us where we can't help seeing it, and where obi associations are constantly beckoning us to come in and take a drink. If we cannot resist, that one drink is our ruin, for every bod - knows that when a good resolution is once broken, it don't take much to break it ten times over. I sa3 T wipe out every tavern that is agropshop. Let those who keep them go to work as wo do, and they can make a living with out selling whisky. And wipe out all them places called saloons and beershops. I tell you they are the devil's own dens, where hell delights in. I believe firmly if hell was to hold a council in order to put down the teinperancers, some Sl3' devils would be selected to creep about a parcel of men in this town and now and then whisper in theirears, "Keep a saloon —you needn't work half as hard as you do, and it pays!" Like suckers, these fellows first nibble at the bait, then take it and are caught. When that is done, the devil s work is done, just as he knows iie's got us safe in his net if lie gets us to take one drink. At first the chap goes to work in his saloon honestly; he goes to church, and says what a pity it is fellows like us spend all our money for drink! But church-goiug don't last long—he thinks the preacher hit him, and he's not a going to stand it. Temperance is poli tics, and lie's opposed to have it in ]>oli ties. So the little devil who has got to be bis guardian angel whispers to him. Next the little devil insinuates that it is no harm to keep a little whisky aud bran dy—so many ask for it, and if they don't got it from him they'll get it somewhere else, and besides there's profit in it! Af ter that tlie little devil can leave—bis work is done—the sucker is hooked—and from that time forward whisky selling is a right and a dut3*, and if men get drunk, spend their money, and leave their wives and children in nakedness and jiovertv what is it to him?
