best invention I ever met with.' Now,
said Or. Tyng, if all our Presidents and
tiovernors and Legislators would carry
their whiskey jngs as this if their jug had
no bottom to it, we should have less drun
kenness. Their example does more
mischief than the traffickers. My Irieod

sanctifyingdrinking'.by offering their wines
to the young and inexperienced. I am
happy to have it ia my power to ssy that
all do not this. Of the six hundred mem
bers of the congregation which I have the
hon.ir to address from my pulpit, do not
know a single person who drinks liquor
or oilers it to o her, and I have never
seen in any of their dwellings any of the
paraphernalia of drinking.''

The Executive Committee, who have
the responsibility of conducting the affairs
of sixteen members, of various denomi
nations, whose services arc gratuitous.
Its meetings are held monthly, when the
doings of the Publishing, Distributing,
and Finanee Committees are reviewed,
and current business transacted. No sal
aried officer has a vote in committee.
At the meeting held on the 19th Jan.,
various letters were read from missionaries
and others in different parts of the pagan
and Roman Catholic world, soliciting aid
in the distribution of printed truth in ;
many languages. The sum of $518,000
has been appropriated to meet such appli
cations for the year ending in April, much
of which remains to be raised.
The receipts for the month of Deeem-
exposed the various ways by which people
wrong eacli other; such as borrowing; by
mistakes in making change; by errors in
accounts ; by escaping taxes and Custom
House duties; by managing to escape
postage; by finding articles, and sever
seeking owners ; and by injuring articles
borrowed, and uevermaking the fact known
to the owners when returned. One ladv
next day met her pastor, and said, 1 Lave

one of the itttmari of life, quite as need
ful to the mind as raiment and' food for

amusement, ornament, or the gratification
of'uny artificial appetite or whim. If you

Press prevails, there is no sword. The
Press will fiDHlly subdue the sword, else

Printers',' therefore, should, in my opiu-
j ion, feel their dignity, and realize the im-
portar.ie of their position in regular :rg
both the social and political world. A
well conducted Press regulates, in a grent
degree, the opinions of the neighborhood
in which it is published. Editors and
rl law-i-A who bad sufficient influence to ! ceal-.w
get a sestion inserted that forbid tho sale j
of any intoxicating beverage within the j
limits, which were a mile square. Well,
this bold stroke of the temperance men
raised quite an excitement throughout the
cotiTity, and' some went so far as to" assert
that the prohibition of liquor would prove
a rain to the town, as no one would attempt
to put np public hoiises for the accommo
dation of the court and strangers coming
to and passing through' the town ; and
consequently enrrprise would cease:
" The temperauee men succeeded in
their endeavors. Nearly two years Lave
e'apsed. The town has increased rapidly.
The publio buildings are completed, and
court Las been held there during two
quarterly sessions. But th-t ii not all.
In one of the most prominent parts of the
town stands a monumcut of the noble
