Another attempt, we are pleased to learn, Is mak- ing by the phanihropisis revive the drooping cause of temperance in city. We are not fully advised whether part of the effort bas tor il o- lect a similar excitement To the we had here two or three years ago, and which, aiier narmg up 10 degree that threatened 10 consume every vice in the shape of nieInperance, speedily died away and eft scarcely trace of the boas,ed eform.

 The cause of temperance is mquesrnnably one which should enlIs the best energ,es of all classes and a II denominations. The sickening dis g,siing evidences of the balel and denoralizng effects of its opposite are around and among us-suticient, God Knows, to the heart of the philantrop 10 bleed. Tel, judging from the past, scarce fY permit ourselves to hope that any very apparent change can will be wrought. No one at all ac- 0uainted with population can for moment doubt that any requisite amount of enthusiasm may, al any time, he enlisted; bu' whether ihe right sort, such as will be prudent, effective, never-tirng, is another question. The history of the excitement to which we have alluded. ought al all events 10 teach the present movers that lhe best may suffer by uII- due warmth and injudcious leaders. They should not forget that one period of the "memorable ex- cIteasnf," ihe temperance forces were apparently creaned with complete victory, their glorious banner stHeaning in ihe gaddening breeze-and that even the dispensers of ihe "disti'ed poison" looked des- pondingly, as much lo say, "Olhelo's occnpa- lion < g"ne." But in ihe rDids, of victory they came toa pause, seemingly satisfied among themse Ives that they hal wholly extirpaed the But before they had time 10 draw long breath, the dark tide came rolling back, sweeping over and obsrat- ing in moment all the trophies they imagined they had won.

 Thus it will be again, not only in regard 10 intem- perance but to a other vices, until reormers conn mence their crusades in the right euarterun'il they strike at he of the evils which they wish to cure.
