fiuence was given to make her both the guar
dian and ministering angel. Devoted to fri
yolity, her influence reaches only to the fancy,
and neither makes or retains permanent con-
quest; but consecrated to charity, it will die
only with the memory of her who was !" last

lntemperance affiicts man; but it blasts wo
man. 1t lays the whitening stroke on her
heart and her beauty consumes like moth,
while her joy goes down to the tomb. Man
survives the loss of happiness; woman-never.
Man has a thousand chances TO secure it, wo-
man has but one. The evils which intempe-
rance lays upon man, come often one at a
time; on woman they light all together. We
ask her to throw her benevolence in the scale,
to secure protection for her own fireside-and
her own heart For aught you can tell, the
fate of yonder widow, friendIess and forlorn,
may soon soon be yours; for aught you can
tell, the destroyer who wrote the mother child
less, tomorrow may lay destruction at your
door and break your heart. Whatever may
be your power to attract to persuade, to COM
mand, hesitate not to throw that power into
this cause, and then, no matter, what may be
the result, you shall know that you are guilt
less


In the domestic circle is cast the character
of men; it gives expression to nations. Ii
purity and peace are not found there, society
will be filled with discomfort and contention.
AS sure as intemperance crosses the threshold
of domestic life, every pure and high influence
will depart Low indulgence crawling down
through every degree of meanness-even
though covered with refinement-drags the
sonl along, robbing it of noble sensibilties and
introducing it to every form of :" swilled inso
lence,'' till she entirely s'loses the divine
property of her first being" Let those who
preside over the sanctities of domestic life,
and administer its sacred rights, guard the en-
trance against the first approach of this mon
ster. If the household gods are not kept in
purity, there is not deity that is safe from
pollution.-Ph Philadelphia Temperance Aduo-
