REPUTATIoN.--Dea as life should be the
good name and fame Of every true Son of
Temperance; and not less dear the reputa-
tion of the Order. In assuming before the
public the title, Sons Of Temperance, we
take high ground; and in giving and receiv-
ing the appellation, brother we virtually
declare TO the world and to each other, that
we are united in principle and in motive to
carry on, energetically and uncompromis-
ingly, the glorious temperance reform. II
our institution IS not, as temperance
organization, superior to all previous as
sociations, it is no value. Thus far, we are
proud to say, the obligations to 'preserve,
unsullied, the reputation tine Sons Of Tenn
perance has been, very generally, COM
mendably maintained Whenever our Or
der is assailed by ignorace, envy, ill-will,
or prejudice, we point to its fruits We
say its members are every where the most
active, working, doing temperance men; and
whatever may be alleged against us, this is
not denied by any one. Let us then look
well to character, as individuals, as MEM
bers of families as part of society, as
brethren, and especially as temperance men,
So long as "no stain or shadow" rests upon
the fair name ofour institution, so long will
its course be onward, and its principles and
influence more and more extended and bene-
fcent. Jts #.t.}, E6

of Benefits Temperance House, Buffalo, NY.
While stopping with Mr.. B. some two years
since, among others, he was instrumental in
reforming an old veteran who had served many
years in the U. s. Navy, and whose rations of
whiskey, &c., during the whole time Of ser
vice under this Christian nation amounted to
twenty eight hogsheads."


Teetotallers, when you leave your homes to
travel, don't forget this true hearted man and
other Temperance landlords, who, like him,
are laboring to extend the blessings Of temper
