.M. Gough.-The case of this Temperanc e, Lecturer exctes the .ivekest attention throughous the country. At the Massachusetts Temperance Convention, at Worcester, John Hawkins, another famous Temperance Lecturer, said

 |" If there was a man in the world who needed encouragement and support, it was, of all others, the reformed mebriate HeEsald he was blessed with an iron constitution, and his temperament was such that he was not easily led into tempta- tion but he had sometimes shuddered until his head grew dizzy, at the thought that some sudden and unforeseen temptation might beset him. and cause him sain to |" reel and stag ger like drunk en man" He had felt, and the reformed inebrate always feels, that he needed props and supporters all around him. Akind word was better to him than gold--t strengthened him in virtue. He could imagine how easy it was for man of Coughs temperament to fall away; but. said he, were he thousand times fallen, would thousand times pick him up, and tell hin, he was still man bid- ding him go on in Gods name"

 The sentiment uttered by MT. Hawkins seemed to be the prevailing one in the assembly. The statement purporting to be Confession ] of Cough" which is copied into the Journal of Commerce, is miserable hoax.
