William Werrall who died last winter in
PENNSYLVANIA, was born in Marble township,
II miles from Philadelphia in November,
1880. A friend has lately published some
"reminiscences collected from the old gentle
man short time befor his death. Among
others, Mr.. Wcrrel stated that he never
saw coffee or tea, until he was twenty years
of age. His father brought some tea from
Philadelphia; and his aunt, who lived with
them and had the charge Of the house, did
not know how to use it until she received in
formation from one of her most refined
neighbors. This prudent conduct was not
initiated by one of her incautiou friends,
who boiled the leaves and buttered them
! h1tcRlpcrdncc Efforts are MAKING III dlicreh'
parts of the country TO diminish the vice OF IN
temperance. Societies are forming, ministers
are preaching, and tracts publishing all Tor the
same purpose 1t s said that 10000 die annu'
ally of intemperance, and that 45,o0o,oo0 gal
Ions ofaidcnt spirits are consumed a year What
is the best mothod 10 diminish this vice. This ,i
the great question to be decided. The Frencl
are proverbially temperate people, SO far as re
CARDS drinking. The French too are the mos
gallant people in the world, and are devoted II
their attention to the iairsex. Is not this OH, o
the principal causes oftheiv temperate habits =
If SO, would not an increase and improvement
ofvirtuous intercourse amonS The sexes, be
gre,ter means of discouragng hard drinking
than all the sermons in the world Give females
their proper asccndcncy in ,ociety and they wll
have more effect in improving manners, and M
manizing feelings, than all shat male societies
can ever produce. In France, women mix
with every amusement, and almost cvery husi
ness National .4dpocate.
