TIE PROGRESS OF TEMPERANCE.


A friend who, a short time since, visited the
Eastern portion of our country, after an abb
sence Of twelve years, expressed 70 us his ut
ter as,onishment at the progress Of the good
and glorious cause. Formerly, in the hotels
which Were called respectable, liquors of yari-
Gus colors and kinds-from white to red, and
from the neanest whskey TO the choicest BRAN
des-were exposed in the bar rrooms, as temp
tations to the young who resorted thlther to-
read the news and learn the passing events of
the day. But now, the poisonous liquids are,
in some ofthe drunkard- making establishments,
concealed By the p,opretors anader their counters,
and which are taken out as the demands for
them are made Our friend inquired into the
reason for the arrangement, and was told in
reply by the clerk, lwho also acted as bar
keeper) that the object was not 10 present temp
tation 10 those who were not addicted 10 the
cup.


Now, here is an admission, by the yespesta
bic rum sellers themselves, that liquor is per-
nicious--that liquors displayed in the har-room
are temptation to drink. And 10 drink is per-
nHious. at.R


Although we are pleased with the partial
progress of temperance In the section OF our
country 10 which we have adyerted, yet we
hope 10 see the day when the sco,rgc Of man,
more TO be dreaded than was the cholera or
small pox, will be placed. as it deserves 10 be,
in the apothecary shops among the deadly poi
sons. 8Ctr
