SPARKS has practically squelched the
re&toration of liglits buisiiess. Sonic of
the most meritorious cases , we are in
formed , winch have gone up from this
office have been refused. Won't some
one decoy the "general" out to this
vicinage for about one holy minute.
There would be the grandest extinguish
ment on record.
JOHN B. GOCGII , the veteran temper
ance lecturer , is dead. IFe was a na
tive of England , and came to this coun
try during early manhood to follow his
trade of book binder. lie became a
drunkard , but finally reformed and en
tered the temperance field as a lecturer.
He continued to preach temperance un
til a few months ago , when he became
physically unable , owing to age and
other causes , to carry on the work any
longer. 31 r. Cough was an eloquent
orator , not not only upon his favorite
Uhciuo of temperance , but upon many
father vital questions of theday ! " ' 'No'
man ever lived who worked harder to
promote temperance , and the cause has
lost in his death its most brilliant advo
cate. Bee.
Wur.x man began first to issue from
the darkness of ignorance he was full of j
habits of crime and vice. By and by
he learned more. lie committed fewer
crimes , but assumed new viocs. Grad
ually he relegated some of his vices into
the category of crimes , and enacted
laws against them. A vice may be de
fined as something that is wrong , but
not j sufficiently disastrous to the public
interest as to demand special and direct
punishment. A man grows in intelli
gence and moral vices are more and more
damaging and dangerous , and arc there
fore being gradually and steadily rele
gated to the list of eiimcs , to be sup- I
pres.-ed by lavDrunkenness is an in
stance of a vice that is just now being
classified where it belongs. It is essen
tially a crime against the body politic ,
and will shortly be so recognized by the
laws of all states. Topic ? .
GIMKALLY speaking , this woild ha1 *
become a cold , selfish affair , and men are
a mockery upon the Divine plan of crea
tion. ( Joel intended that men's interests
should be mutual , and that we should
not live for self alone. _ AiV < can only
reach the climax of human existence ,
Avheu we have fully comprehended this
Divine arrangement , and our thoughts
of self are overshadowed by the dcfcire
to t assist our fellow man to bear the trial *
and burdens of life. Tin's is a funda
mental law of our being , and enters
J
largely into the Christian religion. We
are born with an instinctive impulse to
assist others , and we render our lives
happy and useful , just in proportion as
we cultivate this impulse. To help one
another to a complete development of
the poweis and faculties God has given
up. with a view of making this life but
preparatory to that to come , is our mis
sion here , and we arc rewarded accoid-
ingas we perform our duty here. This
is our conception of truechiistianity.
